GOSHEN TWP. — Goshen High School student Austin Jackson May 25 tried out a demonstration model of a new wheelchair. “I like it,” Jackson said after taking the wheelchair for a spin around the hallways of school. After the test ride, Beverly Price, Jackson’s therapist, said she would order a new wheelchair from the manufacturer. The new chair will be similar to the demonstration model, but fitted to Jackson’s exact measurements. He had outgrown his old wheelchair, which was more than six years old. To help raise the $30,000
needed for the wheelchair, students, staff members and members of the community launched a “Wheels for Austin” fund-raising campaign. Karen Wilder, a teacher at Goshen High School and one of the organizers of the fundraising effort, said the campaign was only a few hundred dollars away from the $30,000 goal, close enough to place the order with the manufacturer. The chair is manufactured by Permobil Mobility Products and distributed by ATG Rehab. It will be delivered to Jackson’s home this summer. Jackson asked that the new chair be painted silver. He said he may ask some friends to repaint it different colors later. For more information about “Wheels for Austin,” see the website www.goshenlocalschools.org.

STONELICK TWP. — Clermont Northeastern school officials May 21 heard reaction to recent budget cuts. Marty Rauen, a middle school guidance counselor and president of the teachers union, said there are 11 fewer certified staff members available to teach students because of cuts and retirements this year. Next year, there will be another 11certified staff members leaving for various reasons who will not be replaced. Rauen said the staff cuts were beginning to impact students. “I would like to see us look at other ways to save money,” she said. Board member Mike Freeman said the board has been making cuts for 10 years. “It’s not going to get better,” he said. “What else is there to cut?” Freeman said the only things left to cuts are sports and busing. He said the last time the board tried to cut sports, there was wide-

GOSHEN TWP. — Police say they used GPS to track a man accused of setting fire to his wife’s clothes and burning down their home because he was “emotionally distraught” after an argument about separating. William Donahoe, 57, of Goshen was arrested Sunday on a charge of Donahoe aggravated arson, records show. His wife was not home at the time. After more than 30 years of marriage, the couple was separating, according to police. “There was a heated phone call and he was extremely emotionally distraught,” Goshen Police Captain Bob Rose said. Police tracked him via his cell phone. At times the signal was weak, but Sunday at 7:40 a.m. officers saw Donahoe was in Union Township, Rose said. Police there arrested him on a traffic stop.

spread opposition. Board member Danny Ilhardt said he would oppose any cuts to busing because of safety. Faye Miller of Brushy Fork Road said school officials need to monitor bus operations, which are handled by Petermann Bus Service. “We didn’t save any money when we got rid of our own buses and drivers,” she said. Freeman She said she sees empty buses in the middle of the day. “Someone needs to check the routes,” Miller said. Freeman said district officials regularly look at the routes. Miller also complained she was not hearing enough “back and forth” on major decisions by board members. “I don’t leave these meetings very informed,” she said. Board member David Pennington said the board should look into doing a newsletter to keep the public better informed.

Duke helps CNE improve ‘classroom’
Once again Clermont Northeastern Middle School thanks Duke Energy for its continuing support of the district. The Duke Energy Global Service Project was conducted at CNE Middle School May 15. The project provides funding and Duke Energy volunteers to be involved with a community project. This is the sixth year that Sherri Newberry, educational aide at CNE Middle, has been involved with this project. The goal two years ago was to create an outdoor classroom for the middle school. Last year, six picnic tables

pay for a concrete pad for the picnic tables to sit on and landscaping around the building. Tom Hunt, coordinator for the Duke Energy project, recruited three volunteers, Jennifer Neal, Vicki Hunt and Warren
Walker, to help plant more butterfly-attracting plants and bushes for the outdoor classroom. Seventh- and eighth-grade students were asked to help and it took no time for the work to get done. Grants Farm and
Greenhouse donated four yards of mulch for the project. “Next year, we hope to get a shelter built over the concrete pad so teachers can take classes outside and utilize the area for projects and experiments
and as a reward for students’ good behavior,” said Newberry. The middle school students and staff thank Duke Energy for giving them the opportunity to participate in the Global Service Project again this year.

they are in a spy novel when they descend into the basement of one of the show’s homes. The Artisan model, built by Artisan Estate Homes, features a lower level with a James Bond theme. “Each year we try to do something fun,” said Rick Seitz of Artisan Estate Homes. “This year we came up with a James Bond-themed lower level.” It is decorated with Bond memorabilia and other spy-related features, Seitz said. There is even a secret room, he said. “It’s a neat, fun place to entertain,” Seitz said. The home, listed for $899,000, has been sold and the buyer wanted to do the spy theme as a surprise for his children, Seitz said. The rest of the house has decorating features picked out by Seitz himself. “The typical builder hires an interior decorator,” he said. “What is different is I do everything from start to finish.” Seitz said he personally picked out all the drapes, fabrics and paints for the home. “Every piece of furniture I order myself,” he said.

well,” he said. This will be the fourth Homearama for Artisan Estate Homes. A first-time participant at Homearama this year is Potterhill Homes of Miami Township, which features an energy-saving model. Carolyn Rolfes of Potterhill Homes said the model, simply called the Zero Energy Home, is the first-ever zero energy home at Homearama. The buyer of the home, which is for sale and listed
at $768,000, will have energy bills close to zero, she said. Rolfes said the home emRolfes ploys construction techniques and heating and cooling equipment which save on energy costs. There Seitz also is a five-watt solar panel on the roof that serves two purposes, she said. The solar panel produces electricity for use in the house, she said. Rolfes said the solar panel also qualifies the homeowner for energy credits that can be sold back to the utility company. The average annual energy cost for the 5,000square-foot home is estimated to be about $1,200, she said. Because the energy credits are worth $100 a month, the average annual utility bill would be close to zero, Rolfes said. She said the home will have sensors that will enable the homeowner to monitor energy usage on a computer.

As 44-year-old Mark, with a lot of experience in landscaping work, offered his co-workers advice on the best way to split hosta plants, other participants in the Clermont County Main Street Project cleared debris from flower beds around the Clermont County Common Pleas Courthouse in Batavia. “It’s a project designed to teach individuals about the importance of giving back to the community,” said Ann Kruse, an employment specialist with the Success through Employment Program of Clermont County Adult Probation. “The individuals involved with this program aren’t bad people. By doing pro-
jects like this, they learn the importance of volunteerism and working together; it provides them with positive feedback and a feeling of accomplishment.” Chris, convicted of a felony, said the Main Street Program definitely has given him a sense of accomplishment and boosted his confidence. “I am hoping that people won’t be prejudiced against me and will give me another chance,” said Chris, 23years-old, while easing plants into the soil in a bed in front of the courthouse. “This is a great experience and I thank the probation officers for giving me this opportunity.” “I feel really good about giving back to the community,” said Mark, on proba-
tion for non-payment of child support. “The probation officers care about us and don’t give up on us. This has been a rewarding experience for me.” Adult Probation employment specialist Elizabeth Moran said, “We don’t ask them to do anything we won’t do ourselves.” For more information about the Main Street Project, contact Kruse at Workforce One of Clermont County at 943-3744.

Solid prep career ends for Termuhlen By Tom Skeen tskeen@communitypress.com
MILFORD — All athletes have high expectations for their senior year. For Milford track star Savanna Termuhlen, it was about getting back to the state meet. Unfortunately she finished fifth in the 200-meter race at regionals with a time of 26.17 to miss out on state by just one spot. “I think I just had a bad day, and I don’t know what happened,” Termuhlen said. “I just couldn’t keep up. I haven’t run a 26 (second time) since the beginning of the season.” Her coach agrees it wasn’t her best race of the year, but she holds an advantage over other athletes in that her running career isn’t over just yet. “She did not run her best race
by any stretch,” coach Shane Bartholomew said. “It was very hard for her. She has been working hard for four years to get there. It just wasn’t in the cards, but she has four more years of running in front of her as she heads off to Wright State next year, and that is something most athletes don’t get to experience.” Even with her bowing out at regionals, it’s been another successful season for the senior. She was a district champion in the 200-meter after running a 25.23 and was the Fort Ancient Valley Conference East Division 100- and 200-meter champion for the second consecutive season. “She obviously had a really good season,” Bartholomew said. “We started off with high expectations, but battled through a couple injuries early.
She really didn’t get going until the second half of the season. She had a lot of really good things happen this year.” She also broke her own school record in the 200 twice this season. Her career had many ups and downs. As a freshman she came in without the work ethic needed to be successful, and she was injured her sophomore year. “My freshman year I didn’t really work hard and didn’t think about how talented I could be and I didn’t believe in myself,” Termuhlen said. “My coaches sat me down my junior year and they told me how I need to be more mentally there and believe in myself. They told me that if I work hard I could do great things. I’m proud of my career and how it turned out, and I hope
I can inspire others to work hard and do great things.” Bartholomew could see the talent at a young age but attributes the mental growth over her career as a big reason for her success. “She was competitive for us as a freshman,” he said. “But when she got into her junior year and got the sprint records and then (broke) it again twice this year, you could certainly see all the hard work really came through.” As one door closes, another one opens up as Termuhlen will become a Raider next year and live out one of her lifelong dreams. “I’m really excited, she said. “It has always been one of my dreams to run at Division I and get a scholarship to do it.”

Eagles close the book on season
Injuries plague lacrosse season By Tom Skeen tskeen@communitypress.com
MILFORD — For a program used to winning, a 6-10 season for the Milford Eagles Club lacrosse team isn’t the norm. With a young team and a thin roster, coupled with an injuryplagued season, it was a recipe for a down year. “We didn’t finish like we wanted to,” coach Brian Cross said. “It was an extremely injury-ridden season that went through our team like nothing else. It’s my first year like this since I have been here.” At one point this season, the Eagles had eight contributors out with injuries, five or six of them out with concussions. Three of them occurred early in the season, which led to a 2-5 start to the season and a lot of young kids being thrown into the fire immediately. “It was like we would get one kid back and another would go out,” Cross said. “It was tough to keep up with. The kids never

made excuses and the coaches never got down. Did we change things? Yes. Was it difficult? Yes. But we had a bunch of fighters this year.” The Eagles entered the postseason as a nine-seed; the lowest seed in the history of the club program, but got off to a good start with a 14-0 victory over Clinton County in a play-in game May 17. “It was unfamiliar territory for us since we had never been that low, but it didn’t matter,” Cross said. “I never look at records, just that we are prepared to take the next step and get to the next level.” In the next round, the Eagles lost a hard-fought match 9-7 to second-seeded Lebanon.
“We had a great game, but just came up on the short end of the stick,” Cross said. “They just played a little better than we did and we made some mistakes, but boy our guys went at it.” The bright side to throwing the young guys to the fire is they gained invaluable experience. “Our young guys grew up fast and they had no choice,” said Cross. “They built character because it was initiation by fire because of injuries. Some had the deer-in-headlights look, but they had no choice.” With that being the case, Cross knows his guys are ahead of schedule for next year and has high hopes that his team can return to the level where they are used to playing at. “I’m excited and pretty pumped,” he said about next season. “I think the kids are six months ahead of schedule. It’s still going to take a lot of hard work and I think we have a bunch of kids that are going to do what they need to do. Just to see these kids a year older and grow a little bit and have a higher lacrosse IQ is going to be awesome to see on the field knowing how hard they fought this year.”
COLUMBUS — Moeller jumped all over the Westlake Demons early, cruising to a 9-6 victory in the Division I state final June 2 at Huntington Park in Columbus. It is the sixth baseball state championship in school history, the first since 2009. “It’s unbelievable,” coach Tim Held said. “For these kids to go out winners like that and to have this memory forever is just an incredible feeling.” The Crusaders are now sixfor-six in state championship games. The Moeller offense forced Demons’ starting pitcher Danny Strodtbeck out after an inning and two-thirds, rocking him for six runs, five in the second inning alone. Senior Nick Edwards opened the second with a single, followed by an error on the shortstop on a routine grounder by Cameron Whitehead, putting runners on first and third. Sophomore Riley Mahan, the nine-hole hitter, ripped a shot left field and Corey Bowers laid out for it but came up empty, scoring Edwards and Whitehead and putting Mahan at second. “I got behind with two strikes so I just kind of flicked at one,” Mahan said. “I got lucky and it fell in there and we scored two runs out of it.” Mahan scored after a bad throw on a steal attempt by Ryan LeFevers after reaching base via a walk. The Crusaders added two more runs on a Spencer Iacovone sacrifice fly and a Jordan Simpson laser to right making it 6-0. “It took a lot of pressure off where our pitchers knew they could go out and throw strikes,” Held said. “We were kind of nibbling at the strike zone at times and putting too many guys on base and getting into too many hitters’ counts. But we just kept battling and putting those five runs on to get to 6-0 or 6-1 really took the pressure off the pitchers so they knew they didn’t have to be so perfect.” The Crusaders would tack on two more in the third on a record-setting triple by Ty Amann of Owensville. It was his eighth triple of the season, setting a new school record. Westlake had its opportunities to get back in the game. They were able to push runs

across in the second, third and fourth innings to make it 8-3, but left the bases loaded in the fourth, after Phillip Diehl relieved starter John Tanner and struck out Strodtbeck and Jamie Lackner to escape further damage. “It was huge,” Held said. “I’m bringing Phillip in with the bases loaded and I said ‘Phillip I’m sorry to put you in this situation but you know, go get them.’ You know nerves, but I felt good with him because of what he did against Elder last week throwing three and a third (innings) to really bail us out.” Again in the sixth, the Demons had the bases loaded with one out, but managed to put just one run on the board. The Crusaders set a new state tournament record with 10 stolen bases. The old record was seven, set in 1986 by Westerville North. “Watching them on Thursday, we thought their catcher was a little bit below average,” Held said. “We wanted to exploit that and we got all the right guys on-base. Guys that could run.” The Demons committed four errors in the first three innings where the Crusaders did the majority of their damage. Tanner went three and a third innings, allowing two runs on five hits, four walks and he struck out five to get the win. The Demons tried to rally in the ninth as they plated three runs with two outs, but John Hakemoller got Andy Haders to fly-out to right for the final out.

course of your lifetime after you retire. (Like an immediate annuity does.) With a defined benefit plan, the emDon McNay ployer takes COMMUNITY responsibility RECORDER GUEST COLUMNIST for making sure pension money is safe and properly invested. With the advent of the 401(k), employees with little or no investment experience were required to pick among investment options offered by an employer. Employees were put in the position to fail. Many have. It is up to the employer to pick what investment company handles the employee’s money. If the employer picks a dog, with few options, the employee is out of luck. Even worse, some compa-
nies push their employees to use 401(k) money to buy stock in the company they work for. If the company goes broke, people lose their jobs and their retirement savings, too. There is a second major problem: Not putting enough money in the 401(k) to begin with. 401(k) plans give people a lot of freedom but my experience in working with injury victims and lottery winners who get big money is that too much freedom is not a blessing. Freedom without perceived consequences can lead to disastrous decisions. I’ve always encouraged people to put the maximum amount into a 401(k) plan. Few do. Many put in little or nothing at all. Now many are looking at a bleak retirement. Defined benefit plans encouraged people to stay at the same employer. 401(k) plans do not.
I’ve watched tons of people change jobs and then blow the 401(k) money before they started their new job. It’s been said that 90 percent of people with a lump sum of money will run through it in five years or less. The same statistic can hold true for people who receive 401(k) rollovers as it does for lottery winners. When historians study the cause of the 2008 economic meltdown, they will see that the change from defined benefit plans to 401(k) plans in 1982 was a factor. It was one of many shifts where dramatic changes were made in people’s lives and liberties. People didn’t realize just how dramatic until years later. If we are going to keep from running behind, 401(k) is one of those things that we need to fix.

Some pay Social Security income tax Question: I recently received my 1099. Does that mean I’m going to have to pay taxes on my Social Security benefits? Answer: If you file a federal tax return as an “individual” and your total income is more than $25,000, then the answer is yes: you will have to pay federal taxes on your benefits. If you file a joint return and you and your spouse have a total income more than $32,000, you will be expected to pay federal taxes, as well. If your taxable income is below those thresholds, there is no need to pay taxes on your Social Security benefits. If you need to pay taxes on a portion of your benefits, you will need your SSA-1099. This form shows the total amount of benefits received in the previ-
ous year and is used to find out whether any benefits are subject to tax. You will need to submit it when you complete your Shauna federal income Gardenhire COMMUNITY PRESS tax return. You already GUEST COLUMNIST should have received your SSA-1099 for tax year 2011 in the mail - they were automatically mailed to all beneficiaries by January 31. If you receive Social Security and have not yet received a Form SSA-1099, you can request a replacement online at www.socialsecurity.gov/onlineservices. Or you can call Social Security’s toll-free number, 1-800-772-1213 (TTY, 1-800-325-

You also can call the Internal Revenue Service toll-free at 1-800829-3676 (TTY, 1-800-829-4059). Question: Can I have federal taxes withheld from my Social Security check? Answer: Although you are not required to have federal taxes withheld from your Social Security benefit, you may find that easier than paying quarterly estimated tax payments. To have federal taxes withheld, or to change your original withholding request, you will need to:
» Complete IRS Form W-4V. » Select the percentage (7, 10, 15, or 25 percent) of your monthly benefit amount you want withheld. » Sign and return the form to your local Social Security office by mail or in person. You may obtain IRS Form W-4V from the IRS Website at http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/ fw4v.pdf or by calling the IRS toll-free number, 1-800-8293676.

Social Security is not authorized to withhold state taxes, if any, from your benefit payment.

“Last year my husband and I celebrated our 30th anniversary with a week-long excursion to Maui, Hawaii. With six kids, we never really had the time or money to go on a big vacation, so we really made up for lost time! We went snorkeling, jet skiing, and parasailing; road the zip-line; danced at a luau; toured Pearl Harbor; visited Waikiki Beach; bartered with island jewelry makers; and communed with sand crabs on the beautiful beach. But the best part? Cruising around the island in our red convertible!” B.L. “After years of trying to schedule fun-filled beach vacations, the vacations my children still talk about are the two years we decided to do cheap vacations: one to Indianapolis and one to Louisville. “In Indianapolis, my children got to stay with their greatgrandparents, visit their uncles' farms where they played with goats and fed calves, and visit the Indy Children's Museum and

Is 401k a ticking time bomb?
Internal Revenue Code section 401(k) is the only section of the U.S. tax code that the average people can cite. They know it has something, to do with whether or not they can retire with dignity. Or retire at all. The adoption of section 401(k) in 1982 turned out to be one of those big moments that changed everything. 401(k) plan investments are a primary driver of the investment markets. It is the employee retirement benefit that most companies offer. The performances of the plan’s investments are also the reason that many people are pacing the floors at night, worrying if their retirement will get delayed or destroyed. Until 401(k) came along, pension plans were usually defined benefit plans. A defined benefit pension gives you a set number of dollars for set period of time. It usually pays out over the

My father fell down a hill while trying to get the perfect shot with his camera, and my mother sat in the car wondering what could possibly happen next. “An armadillo gave us a flat tire, and my sister cried over a boyfriend until we reached Phoenix and my father told her that he'd made arrangements with Grandma for her to go home on a bus.

Question: Should applicants suspected of illicit drug use pay for and pass a drug test before receiving welfare benefits?
“Drug screening by the state for receiving welfare benefits should in no way be considered by anyone who cares about freedom and privacy. The fourth amendment states "The right of the people to be secure in their persons... against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized." Probable cause centers around a reasonable belief that a person has committed a crime OR there is a reasonable and supportable amount of suspicion. Keep letting the State re-define reasonable, and soon it will mean for whatever reason the State wants.” J.M.

Scholarship remembers brother, friend May 1966 - Bruce Griffin of Goshen was ordered to Vietnam. His family took him to the Greater Cincinnati airport. Before entering the plane, Bruce turned and tipped his hat. His mother murmured, “We lost him - he’ll never come back.” A few days letter his sister, Linda, received a letter from Vietnam. Bruce enclosed several photos and assured her, “I am OK.” Griffin was assigned as a rifleman to the 1st battalion, 9th Marines - “The Walking Dead.” The area of operation for the “1-9” was, in May 1966, the village of Dai Loc, eight miles west of Da Nang. They were often on patrol, destroying enemy tunnels and Gary Knepp COMMUNITY PRESS fighting holes, battling the GUEST COLUMNIST communists, and taking casualties from explosive booby traps. May 21, 1966, Griffin was on patrol with his company. At 5:45 p.m. they were ambushed. During the fire fight, Bruce was killed by a “fragmentation wound in the back.” Forty other Americans were killed in Vietnam that day. Griffin was the first boy from Goshen to die in Vietnam. Five more - James Lambert, Gary Taylor, John McCoy, Virgil Hiter and Richard Sanders were to follow. Linda Griffin, a junior at Goshen High School, went to school soon after her brother was killed. “All of his teachers were crying,” she remembers. Bruce was very popular with his teachers and with a number of girls who had secret crushes on him, Linda later learned. “He was always smiling, clowning around,” she said. Mike Tarter was close to Bruce, calling him his brother. “When he died it liked to kill me, too,” he said. Tarter joined the Army to honor his friend. He took a photo of Bruce with him to Vietnam and has carried it with him every day since. The boys loved to fish for bluegills on the old Drinnon farm where they rode the farmer’s horse without permission. For years, Tarter has gone to Camp Nelson, Kentucky, cemetery to play taps over his friend’s grave on Memorial Day. Although it has been 46 years since his death, Bruce’s family and friends still have fond memories of this laid back, fun loving kid. Believing that “the greatest casualty is being forgotten,” Linda Griffin Funk has established a scholarship fund in his memory for Goshen High School students. In 2011, eight scholarships were awarded. This year, Linda expanded the program to Milford, where her grandchildren go to school. The scholarships are open to students who may not be eligible for other programs. Contribute by sending donations to the Bruce Griffin Scholarship Fund, P.O. Box 147, Newtonsville, Ohio 45158.

Dress greens with hot dressing It’s hard to believe that just a few weeks ago the baby chicks were too cute, fuzzy little balls of fluff hopping around the yard. Well, now they’re in what I call the “teenage” stage. They’re pecking at the herbs in my herb garden and enjoyed a salad dinRita ner by Heikenfeld decimating RITA’S KITCHEN the leaf lettuce planted in a colander. Yesterday, they dug through the snapdragons in my antique copper wash kettle and made a fine mid-day snack of them. So I told my husband, Frank, it’s time to put them in the “chicken condo” with the rest of the birds. That is, if we can catch them.
Update on Eileen Baker’s butter pecan cake So many of you asked to clarify the ingredients and method, so here is the recipe again, with detailed instructions. 1 box butter pecan cake mix (18.25 oz. size) 3 eggs, large 1 stick butter, melted 1 cup water 2 14 oz. cans sweetened condensed milk* ½ of an 8 oz. bag Heath candy bits, regular or chocolate
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Beat cake mix, eggs, butter and water well. Pour into sprayed 9-inch by 13-inch pan. Bake 25-30 minutes or until cake is done. Poke holes all over and while cake is still warm, pour one can milk over cake. Pour Heath candy over that. Pour other can of milk over candy. Let sit 20

Rita’s recipe for hot bacon dressing is a great way to dress spring greens. THANKS TO RITA HEIKENFELD minutes. Store in refrigerator. *Note: Some readers thought the cake was soggy after it was completely made with the toppings. Know that it should be very moist. Make sure the cake is done (ovens vary) and if you like, start out with one to one-and-a-half cans milk and go from there, adding the full two cans if you want. Eileen recommends at least one-and-ahalf cans. Regardless, you’ll be using half the milk the first time you pour it on the cake and the other half is poured on after you sprinkle the candy on it.
Hot bacon dressing
One of my favorite dressings to dress spring greens. I like adding crumbled fried bacon, feta cheese and hard boiled egg to the salad, as well as any veggies I have on hand. This is good on cabbage, too.
Melt fat and stir in onion. Cook a couple minutes. Add everything else. Bring to a boil and turn off heat. Taste and adjust flavors. I usually add a bit more vinegar, etc.

As I remember, it had a graham cracker crust and three layers of creamy filling – I think they were pink, green, and yellow. It was lighter than a pudding – more like the old “whip and chill” boxed dessert. I would love to be able to make it for him again.” Silverglade’s chicken salad. For Judy S. “So good.

Use credit card for major purchases, for protection Many people don’t give it a second thought when they charge something to their credit card, but the protection it gives you can be invaluable if something goes wrong with your purchase. That’s what Ottis Wilson of Lebanon learned after he bought new windows for his house back in February. Wilson said he noticed things weren’t going well from the beginning. “They started at the back of the house and they came around to the front and when they got to one

Wilson said, “They sent a technician out, a field technician. He opened up one of the windows and he said, ‘This is
disgusting.’” Air-Tite then sent out workers who put in insulation, but Wilson said it still wasn’t done correctly. He also said the windows weren’t installed securely. Air-Tite had arranged financing for the project with Wells Fargo Bank’s Home Project’s Visa card. Wilson said, “I called Wells Fargo and advised them the job wasn’t done right.” Despite Wilson’s complaint, Air-Tite was paid anyway and then it suddenly went out of business

Fortunately, Wilson’s credit card agreement said he may not have to pay the remaining amount due. That’s because Air-Tite Windows arranged the financing, the charge was put on the bank’s Visa card and there’s still an amount owed – in this case that’s everything – $4,200. Wilson has all these rights because he disputed the charge with the bank within 60 days of charging the windows. That 60-day time limit is crucial to remember whenever you charge anything to a credit card and it can come in quite handy if there’s a problem. For instance,
some consumers recently paid for a tanning salon package and after the salon went out of business they were able to get their money back – not from the salon but from their credit card company. Bottom line, when buying major items I always recommend you pay with a credit card because if something goes wrong you have up to 60 days to dispute the charge.

But, he said, “No one wants to come back out and do someone else’s work.” Wilson keeps getting credit card statements and said he’s concerned it could hurt his credit rating because he’s refused to pay. Wilson said he won’t pay, “Not till I get something done, because if I make a payment I know they’re going to say, ‘OK, you’re accepting it.’”
Some senior friends of ours were headed overseas a few years ago and had taken care to protect themselves against tourist crimes. In fact, Bob purchased a special coat loaded with theft proof features, including zippered pockets to secure his passport and wallet. After visiting a cathedral near Paris, Bob tossed his coat in the back seat of the rental car and they headed for the city. While at a stoplisnatched his $200 state-of-the-art “antitheft” jacket. For all his care, Bob had forgotten to lock the doors. Travel is a great joy for people of all ages, but care must be taken to insure that travel is safe and satisfying. This is especially important for senior travelers. According to
the Travelers Insurance Review, one in five personal crimes Linda against Eppler COMMUNITY PRESS traveling seniors is GUEST COLUMNIST theft. While travel theft is a concern, it’s not the only one for seniors traveling in the states and abroad. But don’t let it overwhelm you. Instead, plan for it. Here are five tips to keep in mind. One of the easiest ways to protect against pickpockets is to purchase a money belt and a small zippered wallet. The money belt fits under your shirt or blouse and keeps
credit cards and larger bills out of prying hands. Carry only the money you will need that day. Secondly, let family members or friends know your travel plans. Before every trip, my husband prepares a detailed itinerary of where we will be, when we will be there and how to contact us in an emergency. Next, with the exception of two or three key credit cards, leave the rest of your cards at home. Carry back-up photocopies of important papers. Lastly, carry a small journal with all your key numbers in it for quick reference, if needed.

Ole Fisherman’s daughter Take Your First Career Step Here picks season’s first tomato Howdy folks, The weather is plenty hot for this time of the year, don’t you think? The gardens are sure growing fast. Last week, we set some flowers in several containers and set them around the back porch. They sure make the area pretty. Now for dinner that day we had tater soup, it was good. Then for dessert we had strawberry pie along with a good cup of coffee. We planted “taters” on March 17, St. Patrick’s Day. We do this every year. Ruth Ann was looking at the plants and I knew what she was thinking. I said, “would you like for me to dig a couple hills?” Boy, did she grin and so we dug some. There were nine “taters” in the two hills. Now that gal was already ahead of me. For dinner a couple days later we had new red taters and peas creamed together. By golly they were good. Last week I got to mow the horse pasture with the new mower. While I was mowing, there were three horses grazing there. One horse laid down and rolled, well, you guessed it, they all did it. Ruth Ann and I went to the Bethel-Tate school board meeting last week to give a young lady a certificate from the district Lions Club for a poster she had made. This young lady is Brianna Hamilton. Congratulations from the Bethel Lions Club and the Ole Fisher-
man and wife! Thursday evening, Ruth Ann and I had an invitation to attend George the Grilling Rooks with Tim OLE FISHERMAN (the weather man from Channel 12 TV) at Moscow. This was a wonderful event. There were several folks from the television station there. The crowd was big. The station is to be thanked for honoring the tornado victims. Thanks from the Ole Fisherman and wife. The food was good and everyone sure enjoyed the evening. There was no rain or tornadoes that came through. We got to talk to the weather men and can say they are dedicated to their job. The two ladies we have dealt with during the giving of the gift cards are a pleasure to communicate with. They are very concerned about the Moscow village. This was something the Channel 12 station is doing for the folks that were in the tornado on March 2. This is good. The Good Lord wants us to help each other. Our daughter Debby always gets to pick the first ripe tomato and this year she did it on May 28. These tomatoes were patio tomatoes in buckets. It was a nice sized one. The black raspberries are starting to ripen. In
fact, Debby got to pick three of them, too. It seems everything is early this year. We can handle that. We picked the spinach last week and Ruth Ann put three packs in the freezer. The hot weather really effects it, so there will be beans put in the raised beds on May 30 or 31 as the almanac says that is a good time. We had planted marigold flowers in the raised beds to keep the deer out. Well, the deer ate three of the flowers. But they have not bothered any more. I was thinking about setting out the halapeno peppers and see if they like the fire from them. I like these peppers, but Ruth Ann does not. The Grants Farm and Greenhouses have sweet potato plants now to sell and Danny has plenty of honey bee supplies, along with other plants, shrubs, trees and mulch. Call 625-9441. I have written about lots of stuff, but have not mentioned Chessy. I tell you she has a mind of her own, but she is still our number one family member. She doesn’t stay in the house during the day. Since it is summer, she is outside. Start your week by going to the house of worship of your choice, and praise the Good Lord. God bless all. More later.

Adopt a pet June 10-11 in Clermont County The Clermont County Animal Shelter and the League for Animal Welfare will team up Sunday, June 10, and Monday, June 11, for a collaborative adoption event called On This Day. The event is designed to increase public awareness of the many pets available for adoption in both shelters. Both shelters are offering discounted adoption fees during the event. “Both the animal shelter and the league are excited to see just how many animals can get adopted during the event,” said CCAS Director Kim Naegel. The shelter will be open Sunday, June 10, from noon to 4 p.m., and from 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday, June 11. The league will be open Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Monday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The shelter will reduce the price of adoption for a dog from $110 to $50, which includes vaccinations,
heartworm testing, a dog license and a free spay or neuter. Adoption fees for cats will be reduced from $60 to $25, which includes vaccinations, leukemia testing and a free spay or neuter.
