Deja Vu in Union Township closing by Dec. 31 Conviction a result of a 2010 undercover investigation STAFF REPORT

Home invasion suspect arrested

50 cents

Deja Vu Showgirls in Union Township will be closing its doors by Dec. 31 after Deja Vu of Cincinnati LLC, which operates the club, was convicted of 10 counts of illegally operating a sexually oriented

business.

Clermont County Prosecutor Don White announced Dec. 15, that as a result of the conviction, Deja Vu Showgirls, located at 516 Old State Route 74, will permanently close by Dec. 31.

“The closing of Deja Vu in

Union Township is a positive outcome of these cases for area residents and the community in general,” White said.

“The adverse secondary effects of adult sexually oriented businesses on a community are well documented.”

The charges filed against the strip club were violations of the Ohio Revised Code Section 2907.40 (B) and were the result of an undercover investigation by the Union

Township Police Department that took place from April to June of 2010.

During the investigation detectives observed dancers engaged in sexual acts with each other, inappropriate touching of patrons and otherwise engaging in sexually oriented entertainment on the Deja Vu premises, all violating Ohio’s sexually oriented business laws.

“Union Township Detective

Erdal Ozevin, the Turkish national who entered a home in Clermont County this past week and assaulted a woman, was taken into custody without incident Dec. 15 at a residence in Mt. Washington, Hamilton County, by agents of the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Apprehension Task Force with assistance from the Department Of Homeland Security.

Ozevin is being held in Clermont County for the following charges: 1. One count of Aggravated Burglary (felony 1st degree) 2. One count of Kidnapping (felony 1st degree) 3. A holder from The Department Of Homeland Security.

New Richmond council members recently voted against giving employees a one-time raise before the holidays, however, at their meeting Dec. 13, a motion was made again, and this time it passed.

Employees will be receiving a $750 bonus if they are full-time and a minimum of $75 if they are part-time, based upon the number of hours they work.

The bonus dropped slightly this time around. The first time the proposed bonus was $1,000 for full-time employees and a minimum of $100 for part-time employees.

Councilman Nick Wolf brought the idea back up at the end of the Dec. 13 council meeting, and said that while he doesn’t like to re-visit issues that have been voted on, he was really bothered by council’s decision not to reward employees for their hard work.

“I had an employee come in and thank me for voting for the bonus, because he could have really used it,” Wolf said.

Order of the Purple Heart meets in Union Township

Local donations provide gifts for 80 families this Christmas

Thousands of Christmas gifts moved out of the Summerside United Methodist Church Dec. 19 during the YWCA’s annual holiday gift giveaway. And thanks to dedicated volunteers, families in need will have a happy Christmas.

“We do it for about 80 families,” Lynn Stranz, coordinator of emergency services for the YWCA of Greater Cincinnati, Eastern Area, said about the gift giveaway. “They would not have Christmas without us.”

Stranz said the families, who participate in YWCA programs such as the Transitional

Whether it is a new bicycle, a stuffed animal or a toy truck,

The founder of Clermont County’s only chapter of the Military Order of the Purple Heart is encouraging medal recipients to find out what the organization has to offer.

The local chapter meets twice monthly in Union Township.

Clermont County resident Michael Mather, who founded the Union Township chapter earlier this year, says that it is helpful for veterans who were wounded in action to be able to talk to other people who have gone through that experience.

“They have found out how to work through the mental torment,” Mather said. “I love

talking with World War II vets and Vietnam vets. Talking about it helps me.”

According to the Military Order of the Purple Heart, the Purple Heart is a combat decoration awarded to members of the armed forces of the U.S. who are wounded by an instrument of war in the hands of the enemy. It is also awarded to the next of kin in the name of those who are killed in action or die of wounds received in action.

Mather, who has seen 11 deployments with the US Air Force and US Army since joining the military in 1999, received the Purple Heart after being wounded in Iraq in 2008.

He said that at first, he didn’t realize he had been shot.

He felt a pain, instinctively grabbed his neck, and ran for cover with the other members of his platoon.

and clubs all donated the gifts, and volunteers helped organize, wrap and hand out the gifts during the giveaway.

“They come in and give us their application number and we have pre-wrapped all of their stuff,” Stranz said.

“Each family gets three major gifts, a family game, and pillow cases filled with two books, a toothbrush, pajamas etc.”

Jenx Elliott, a YWCA volunteer from Batavia, sewed all the pillow cases by hand this year and thought they would be a nice thing to give to children in need.

“We did draw string bags last year and decided to do pillow cases this year,” Elliott said. “Each one is individually made and there are no two alike.”

Elliott and her friend Barbara Ann McCarthy selected fun prints and materials and then cut out and sewed 278 pillow cases for the gift giveaway.

“We made some fleece, some are flannel, some are cotton,” Elliott said. “We have all kinds of fun fabric, we tried to make them appealing to both boys and girls.”

She said they went with pillow cases this year because the children may not have a pillow case at home, and they can also be used as a bag to hold additional gifts.

While it took Elliott a long time to make the pillow cases, she said she does it because it is a wonderful feeling to know she made something someone else can use and

enjoy.

Another volunteer who donated time to provide gifts was Hannah Helmers, a sophomore from Anderson High School. Helmers purchased hundreds of stocking stuffers for children and brought them to the giveaway to compliment the Christmas gifts.

Originally, Helmers saved money to purchase toys, games and other small items herself, and now she has reached out to local schools who help donate more items to be used as stocking stuffers.

“It makes me feel good that I can help people,” Helmers said about volunteering.

In addition to the items being collected, volunteers also organize and wrap the

gifts for each family, so when they families arrive, everything is ready for Christmas morning.

“It’s fun and I enjoy being able to help out at Christmas,” Debora Davidson, of Mt. Washington, said.

Davidson and her mother Sue Taylor helped wrap presents during the event. And like most of the volunteers at the giveaway, the women are eager to help the YWCA year after year..

“It’s when you see the people that really appreciate the help, it just gives you a really good feeling,” Taylor, of Anderson Township, said.

ber of young professionals, who are going to stay in Ohio because of the opportunities and upward mobility they have at TQL. “What’s exciting about this company is young people are saying ‘I don’t want to leave Ohio,’” Governor Kasich said.

He said the up-beat, modern culture is something he has seen at companies like Zappos, an online discount shoe, clothing and accessory company.

TQL was awarded “Top Workplace” and “Healthiest Employers of Greater Cincinnati,” and provides employees with a number of benefits and amenities.

“That’s what you see at all the great companies,” Governor Kasich said.

TQL was founded by Ken Oaks 1997, and Oaks originally focused on the transportation of produce.

Oaks understood the importance of freight accessibility and integrity, especially for perishable products, and he

grew the company with those goals in mind.

While he was the brains behind the company, he credits much of its success to the driven employees who have helped connect companies with freight haulers across the United States and in Canada.

“We’re very blessed and fortunate to have so many great people we’ve hired to make this happen,” Oaks said.

Currently TQL employs more than 1,600 people at its Clermont County headquarters and at satellite locations in eight states. This year alone, the company added 585 new jobs and reached $1 billion in sales.

Oaks said plans to build the new office and hire additional employees will begin soon.

He said they hope to have the new building, set to be located in the Ivy Pointe business park in Union Township, complete by the spring of 2013.

TQL also expects to hire more than 500 employees by that time, and hopes to hire more than 1,000 employees nationwide in the next three

years.

Governor Kasich also commended Union Township and Clermont County administrators for their work in securing the company in Ohio.

“If it wasn’t for the trustees and the attitude of the county, they could have exited the state,” Governor Kasich said.

Union Township trustees have been working with TQL since before the company headquarters opened in the Ivy Pointe business park in 2008.

“Since 2007 we’ve been successful in attracting jobs to the Ivy Pointe area,” Tim Donnellon, Union Township trustee, said. “TQL was in the center of those efforts.”

Donnellon said offering incentives and working to meet the needs of the company helped secure the company in Union Township, and the expansion will create even more potential for the area.

“It’s good for the state, good for the county and good for the township,” he said.

“We want to extend our congratulations to TQL.”

his neck as it exited. He retired because of his injuries.

Mather said that at first he was embarrassed about receiving the Purple Heart.

“I grew up knowing the Purple Heart as the enemy’s marksmanship badge,” he said. “To me, I messed up somewhere, made a mistake.

My family said ‘No,’ my platoon members said ‘No, you did everything right,’ but it messes with your head.”

Mather said that he wants to be able to help not only current Purple Heart recipi-

ents, but to also have an organization in place to help military personnel who have not yet received the citation.

“At meetings, we try to figure out ways to help each other,” Mather said. “There are benefits out there that Purple Heart recipients get.”

The chapter meets at 7:30 p.m. the second Wednesday of every month at the Union Township Civic Center on Aicholtz Road.

White Chocolate Orange Sauce Wonderful over ice cream or cake, as a fondue for fruit, chilled and spread between ladyfingers, etc.

Lifesaver Ornaments This is a recipe that makes the rounds of lots of folks each Christmas season. With the kids out of school, this is a fun last-minute gift from the kitchen or for decorating the tree.

Cookie sheet lined with foil Preheat oven to 325 Hard lifesaver candies To make candy canes: Lay 8 lifesaver candies side by side in a candy-cane shape on the foil. Check after 3-4 minutes in the oven. They should be melted. If not, leave them in but check every 30 seconds.

Remove from oven and immediately poke a hole in the top with a skewer or straw that has been sprayed with cooking spray. Let harden and enjoy.

morale has gone down since council voted.”

Wolf was one of three councilmen to vote for the raise.

Rich Matthews and Jack Conners also voted yes, while Vinnie Cochran, Richard Hilt and Gary Skeene voted no.

Mayor Ramona Carr broke the tie by voting no.

This time around, council was still conflicted about whether to give a bonus or save the money.

“I want to say, all who voted no; I defend you totally,” Wolf said. “But I come back to the idea that nothing is more important than the employees and the morale of the employees.”

Wolf said the previous decision had been bothering him since it was made, and he hoped everyone had a chance to think about the bonus, and that some councilmen may change their vote.

“I lost sleep that night,” Councilman Vinnie Cochran said about deciding to vote no.

“It has affected all of us the same way.”

Cochran said he didn’t consider the small amount of money left over from 2011 as extra money, instead he said it should carry-over to 2012.

He said after meeting with the financial task force, the financial situation does not look good for the village in the future especially with the closing of Beckjord Station in the next few years.

Rich Matthews, who made the original motion for a bonus, said despite this, he didn’t see any point in the near future where the village would have to lay people off.

“It’s much more important to think about the employees than how we are going to get by the next year,” Matthews said.

However, he did suggest lowering the bonus, and the motion was amended to $750 for full-time employees and $75 minimum for part-time employees. Despite the lower numbers. Councilman Rick

Hilt also stood his ground.

Especially, he said, because of his knowledge about the village’s finances.

“These are real numbers,” he told council members. “I still think we should be frugal.”

Mayor Ramona Carr said she hates that the employee morale has gone down because of the last decision.

She also said it was the first time she has ever had to break a tie as mayor.

“But this day and time, people are lucky to have a job,” Mayor Carr said.

Gary Skeene remained quiet about the issue and when it came down to a vote, he decided this time to vote yes for employees to receive the bonus.

Cochran and Hilt voted no, while Skeene, Conners, Matthews and Wolf voted yes to the raise. Matthews said employees will receive the bonus before the holidays.

Court deals with public utility commission order Electricity is one of those things we tend to take for granted. When we walk into a room and flip a switch, we expect there to be light.

Probably the only time we give it much thought is when the power goes out during a storm; otherwise, we just always anticipate that electricity will flow.

But to get that electricity into our homes and businesses takes a tremendous - mostly unseen - effort on the part of power companies. We’re reminded of that when the bill arrives each month.

Because electricity is considered a public utility, the companies that are in the business of generating power in Ohio are governed by the Public Utilities Commission

of Ohio (PUCO). The PUCO oversees a whole host of issues related to power companies. The Commission itself is governed by laws passed by the Ohio legislature.

One of those laws requires an electric-distribution utility - a power company - to obtain prior permission from the PUCO before it may “sell or transfer any generating asset it wholly or partly owns.” A “generating asset” is a power See Pfeifer, Page A9

Letter to the Editor Vote for Brem for state rep To the editor: Vote for Mike Brem for State Representative of the 65th district in the Republican primary. Brem’s opponent, John Becker, flip-flopped from running for State Senate to running for State Representative after SB5’s defeat. Brem, not Becker, deserves to win.

John Becker is opposed to

constitutional funding of public schools, and supports tax breaks to those who earn over $500,000 a year. Becker calls school levies “a necessary evil.”

There are better Republicans to vote for than John Becker, and Mike Brem is one of them. Are our children really “a necessary evil?”

Vote for Mike Brem in the Republican primary.

administration’s active support.

Second, economic theory in America during Hoover’s time had not yet caught up with the Industrial Revolution and the economic realities faced by a large manufacturing nation. America had no one like John Maynard Keynes of Britain, capable of understanding the causes of the economic problems of the time and producing the solutions to those problems.

By the end of George Bush, Jr.’s, tenure in the White House he was more unpopular than Richard Nixon when Nixon resigned. However, at the end of George Bush, Jr.’s, second term there was one member of the administration whose approval rating was lower than George Bush, Jr.’s.

That would be Vice President Richard “Dick” Cheney, whose approval rating was at 8 percent.

Cheney will be remembered by most people as one of the most vocal of the “chicken hawks.” The chicken hawks were people who attacked the patriotism of anyone who questioned the pretenses that

This past week Dick Cheney criticized the Obama administration for announcing plans to withdraw the last combat troops from Iraq (by withdrawing the troops, the Obama administration was fulfilling the terms of an agreement negotiated by the Bush-Cheney administration).

He also stated that because a drone U.S. aircraft went down in Iran, we should bomb Iran.

The years of the Bush/Cheney administration seemed endless. Historians may rank the administration of George Bush, Jr., as the very worst in American history and justifiably so, but they will certainly rank the administration of Bush, Jr., in the bottom five. In terms of the condition the country was in at the time of inauguration and the condition the country was left in when the administration left office, the only administration that compared to the administration of George Bush, Jr., was the Hoover administration.

However, this comparison may not be fair to Hoover for a couple of reasons. First, although Hoover seemed hapless when it came to dealing with the Great Depression, he did not do anything to cause it. Although some of the deregulation that enabled the current recession to happen took place on President Clinton’s watch, much of it took place during the Bush administration with the

Retirement is sure to be a life-changing experience Honey, I can’t wait to be home with you all the time!

Well, the big day is almost here. After spending 50 or so hours at work every week for the past 40 years, I’m finally about to retire. A lot of people have asked if I’m ready for this life changing experience.

I definitely am, because in a few short days I get to begin living my life dream. I’ll be spending all 50 of those former work hours each week, plus all the rest of my nights and days with the most beautiful, wonderful woman in the whole world, my wife Yvonne.

Yvonne has stood faithfully by my side for all of these years and has always been there to support and encourage me, so now that I have time I want to do everything I possibly can to help make our retirement years as special for her as I know they will be for me.

One of my ideas is to do everything I can to help her around the house. For example, I’ve decided that my first project will be to organize the kitchen cupboards. I don’t mean to imply that the way

the cupboards are sort of organized now is not okay, but I think Yvonne will appreciate having all of the canned goods

“A

lot of people have asked if I’m ready for this life changing experience. I definitely am, because in a few short days I get to begin living my life dream.” sorted alphabetically by type of food. I can’t wait to see the look on her face when she opens the cupboard doors and sees all of the cans arranged in neat rows from left to right – asparagus, baked beans, black beans, green beans, kidney

beans, beets, carrots, chicken broth, corn, olives, peas, spinach, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, tomato sauce, mushroom soup, tomato soup, and so on. Of course, canned fruits will be categorized separately, and everything will be stocked by date of purchase newest to the back, oldest to the front!

I think Yvonne will also appreciate having me rearrange the items in the freezer – frozen veggies on shelf one, meat products on shelf two, pastry and bread products on shelf three, and so on. And while I’m at it, I’ll go ahead and rearrange all of those things on the kitchen counter to make everything more efficient for her.

The nice thing about helping in the kitchen will be menu planning. I think Yvonne will like sitting down together to plan our daily menus for the coming week.

I’ll prepare an excel spreadsheet to list each day’s meals and then post it on the refrigerator to help her remember what she is supposed to cook for each meal.

Hiring Ohio’s heroes This summer, I helped launch the “Solar by Soldiers” project which helps put veterans back to work.

This program helps train veterans in clean energy technology and installation and then connects them with opportunities in this highgrowth industry. And it is already generating results in our state.

Flannagan’s in Dublin, a small business eager to install energy efficient technologies, completed the first building retrofit through Tipping Point Renewable Energy’s “Solar by Soldiers” program. A Marine from Central Ohio recently told me that he spent two years, following his return from Iraq, applying for jobs.

With few promising leads, he heard news reports about the “Solar by Soldiers” program and went to Tipping Point Renewable to find a job. He has been working for them ever since.

21st century economy – should not have to struggle to find a job when their military service ends. Yet, in the United States, more than 20 percent of veterans between the ages of 20 and 24 years old are unemployed.

Some of America’s highest achieving young people are spending months searching the Internet, attending job fairs, reading the classifieds, and looking through the telephone book to find work – without success.

This is unacceptable.

That is why I have been partnering with local leaders and working with my colleagues in Congress to pass meaningful legislation, like the Vow to Hire Heroes Act, to connect veterans with new jobs.

We all have a responsibility to help America’s veterans find the resources needed to resume their civilian lives.

The VOW to Hire Heroes Act – a new law that provides tax credits for employers who hire unemployed veterans and helps connect veterans with job opportunities – moves us closer to fulfilling that obligation.

The Vow to Hire Heroes Act also ensures that all veterans have access to the Transition Assistance Program – an interagency workshop coordinated by the Departments of Defense, Labor, and Veterans Affairs aimed at helping servicemembers transitioning to civilian life. To ensure a seamless shift from the military to civilian life, it also allows servicemembers to start the federal employment process prior to separation from service so that they can interview at the VA, Homeland Security, or other federal agencies in need of veterans’ expertise.

With this law, veterans and those who hire veterans will

Retiring New Richmond School Board members David Painter and Sharon Stark hold Excellent With Distinction car stickers and ceremonial bells presented to them at their last Board meeting.

New Richmond honors retiring board members Retiring school board members David Painter and Sharon Stark were honored at the December meeting of the New Richmond Board of Education.

Stark and Painter, who served a combined 12 years, will be replaced by incoming board members David Hawkins and Kim Hayden, both former board members.

Retiring New Richmond School Board members David Painter and Sharon Stark hold Excellent With Distinction car stickers and ceremonial bells presented to them at their last Board meeting.

Board member Fred Heflin praised the two outgoing members.

“I have served on the Board of Education on and off since 1979 and have served with 19 differ-

ent board members,” said Heflin. “I want to compliment David and Sharon because they are at the top of the list.”

Painter praised the role New Richmond schools has played in his life.

“Were it not for teacher Suzanne Hale, I would still be sitting on the wall on Front Street,” said Painter. “She took a special interest in me and I went on to become the first member of my family to go to college.”

Painter praised the two new board members.

“I feel good about the members coming on board,” said Painter. “I’m confident the Board will continue to try to reduce the financial cost to the district and to improve on the education experience of students.”

New sewer systems too small, says OKI

Cheese, other food headed to food bank

Longtime charity worker gets some help

According to OKI Regional Planning Authority, two large sewer systems now being built in Clermont County will be too small to handle demands when they start operating next year. OKI has just completed a study on the regional sewer-age plan.

The $5 million Amelia-Batavia Township sewer now nearing completion will be almost over capacitated at the start of operation in 1972, OKI says. Treatment plants in the $6 million Miami-Goshen-Stonelick sewer system now under construction also have been undersized providing capacity expansion when they become operative in 1972, OKI further states.

Almost all of the existing treatment plants in Clermont County will require significant improvements and expansion if they are to meet the future requirements of the Ohio Water Pollution Control Board, the OKI study declares.

December may mean different things to different people, but to more than 7,000 Clermont County residents, December will mean another allotment of bonus USDA government surplus cheese and other commodities.

“Making cheese and USDA surplus food such as rice, flour & honey, available to low and middle income families is a small portion of what we do,” said Duke Snider manager of the Eastern Branch Food Bank.

“We are actually a food warehouse capable of making temporary emergency food help available to most of the county’s needy.”

The Nicholsville based food bank south of Ohio 125 on Ohio 222, has been in operation for almost three years.

Unfortunately, said Duke, being one of Clermont County’s best kept secrets has been one of our major downfalls.

Most people don’t know we exist or think of us only as the “cheese place,” but we are more than that. Through our agencies we are able to reach a large segment of the needy over a nine county region.

Forty-four years ago, Milford resident Mary Miller began performing charitable work, assisting needy families in the community.

This year, Miller’s work will be made a little easier thanks to students at Milford Junior High School.

The seventh and eighth grades under the direction of student council advisers Raylene Gerber and Gayle Radlinski raised $5,873.77 for the Mary Miller Fund. After gathering pledge from friends and family the students sponsored a 100-minute walking marathon on the school track.

This is the second year the students have sponsored the event.

The students used to have canned good drives, but the products became a lot to deliver, Radlinsky said. “The canned goods were so heavy for the Millers to handle. The students began collecting money instead and raised $1,000 the first year.

President Nixon invited to Clermont President Richard M. Nixon will be invited to Clermont County for the 150th anniversary celebration of Ulysses S. Grant’s birthday on April 27.

Judge Harold D. Nichols of Batavia, chairman of a newly-appointed committee to make arrangements for the celebration, said the event will be at Point Pleasant, Grant’s birthplace.

Judge Nichols’ uncle, the late Judge Hugh L. Nichols, chief justice of the Supreme Court of Ohio, was chairman of the committee which arranged the 100th celebration of Grant’s birthday in 1922. President Warren G. Harding addressed that meeting.

Others to be invited to next year’s observances include Gov. John J. Gilligan, Senators William Saxbe and Robert Taft, and Congressman William Harsha.

A resolution of the Clermont County Commissioners, asking public cooperation and appointing the arrangements committee, has been passed and signed.

Miami Twp. names Sterling administrator To help keep pace with rapid growth in the county’s largest township, the Miami Township Board of Trustees has hired a full time administrator to handle management duties.

Dean E. Sterling, 62, began his new job as township administrator last week. A native of Cuyahoga Falls, Sterling brings more than 35 years of government and industrial management experience to the position.

Sterling, the first administrator in the history of the township, said the trustees decided to create the position to deal with the rapid residential and commercial growth in the township.

US grants to aid habitat homeowners Three of Clermont County Habitat for Humanity’s partner families received a welcome Christmas gift Saturday.

A grant from the Federal Home Loan Bank will allow the families, all living on Habitat-built homes on Market Street in New Richmond, to reduce the amount they owe on their homes. This is certainly the season to do something like this,” said Noel Thacker, a member of one of the Habitat partner families on the New Richmond site. “Christmas is the traditional season of goodwill and giving, and this is demonstrated every day by people at Habitat. People like you have made our house a home.”

Habitat applied for the grant in 1991 through Security Savings Association through the Federal Home Loan Bank’s Affordable Housing Program.

Each of the three families will receive a $5,000 reduction in their mortgage; the mortgages, which cover the cost of the materials for the houses, started at $41,000 said Habitat President O’Neil Johnston said.

Amendments to the Ohio Revised Code enacted on June 9, 2011 provide for additional court protection for the state’s military men and women who are sharing parental rights and responsibilities following the termination of marriage.

Q: What is the underlying purpose of this law?

A: The purpose is to prohibit any court from using military service, including deployments, to justify modifying an existing child custody order. The law now allows an active-duty service member to get a temporary order for parenting time modifications. It also says that any service member may ask the court to grant an order allowing a relative or someone else with a close bond to the child(ren) to take over visitation rights tem-

Law You Can use OHIO STATE BAR porarily. The intent of such an order is to preserve the bond between children and their deployed parents, and to protect extended family relationships.

Q: I am the divorced parent of one child, and I’ve just been called for active military service. Must I notify my former spouse?

A: Yes. If a court has allocated parental rights and responsibilities between you and your former spouse (or if such an allocation is pending),

you must notify your child’s other parent that you have been called within three days of receiving the military service order.

After you’ve notified your former spouse, either of you may ask the court for a hearing to expedite an allocation or modification proceeding so the court can issue an order before your active military service begins.

The court must schedule and hold a hearing no later than 30 days after receiving the application, and must also give the case calendar priority and handle the case as quickly as possible, especially if special circumstances require a speedy decision.

Q: Under what circumstances will a court modify an existing decree allocating

parental rights and responsibilities?

A: In the past, family courts could consider active military service as a change in circumstances that would, by itself, allow custody decrees to be modified. Current law prohibits this.

The law now says that the court can modify a prior decree allocating parental rights and responsibilities if the court determines that circumstances have changed for the child, the child’s residential parent, or either of the parents, and that modification best serves the interest of the child. Although future active military service may constitute a change in circumstances, it cannot be used as the only justification for modifying a prior decree.

Q: Can the court issue a temporary order modifying parental rights and responsibilities while I am on active duty?

A: Yes, but the temporary order must say that it was issued due to your active military service. When your active service ends, you must properly notify the court. Within 10 days of that notification, the court must terminate the temporary order and reinstate the prior order, unless your child’s other parent demonstrates that resuming the prior order is not in your child’s best interest.

If you were already involved in a legal proceeding concerning a temporary order for allocating or modifying parental rights and responsibilities when you were called for military service, the court must let you participate in the proceed-

ing and present evidence by electronic means, including communication by telephone, video, or Internet. Within 30 days after your active military service ends, you must notify, in writing, the court, the child support enforcement agency, and the other parent of the termination date of your active military service.

Eppler said one elderly man who received his gifts last week told a Clermont Seniors volunteer, “I am trying to hold off until Christmas to open my gifts.

But, I may get excited and have to open them early!”

Thousands of gifts were donated to the Adopt-aSenior program this year, along with $3,000 in cash and numerous gift cards.

“The many smiles, tears, and words of thanks are so rewarding,” said Eppler.

“Thank you and happy holidays to everyone who had a part in making this program the best one ever.”

were used to start the Iraq War. The other thing the chicken hawks all had in common was that they all had managed to avoid serving in Vietnam even though all of them were the right age to serve. The Bush administration was riddled with chicken hawks.

Cheney himself obtained six deferments and never went to Vietnam.

Cheney was seen at the time, and will be seen by historians, as “the most powerful Vice President in American history.” Cheney was always out front and speaking out for the administration’s most unpopular policies, such as the decision to attack Iraq. Ever since he has left office, Cheney has periodically criticized President Obama for a wide variety of his policies, but mostly for the President’s foreign policy.

Given Cheney’s irrelevance, it is questionable whether or not the current administration is aware of Cheney’s disapproval. If Cheney’s remarks have any effect at all, it is probably to make Obama slightly more popular. Every tape of Cheney that I have seen since he left office seems to have originated with Fox “News,” the least credible broadcast media source in America. Study after study has demonstrated as a matter of statistical fact that Fox “News” viewers are the most misinformed people in America. Not only are they misinformed in terms of people who watch other networks, but Fox viewers consistently score lower than people who do not patronize any news source on a regular basis (broadcast or print) and rely on hearsay from friends for most of their information.

Perhaps the only person who comments on politics who is more irrelevant than Dick Cheney is his daughter, Elizabeth “Liz” Cheney. I have yet to hear of a single qualification that she has to be a television commentator on any subject whatsoever,

much less foreign policy. At least Sarah Palin, for all her ignorance, was actually elected Governor of a State.

Liz Cheney’s only “qualification” is, apparently, that she is Dick Cheney’s daughter.

Dick Cheney has visibly aged since he left office, and he walks with a cane. Given his remarks of last week, it seems entirely possible that he may be battling senility.

Watching him evokes pity and sadness rather than

The community came through in a big way this holiday season.

Clermont Senior Services is reporting that the 2011 Adopt-a-Senior holiday program has been its most successful ever.

“We had 460 senior citizens ‘adopted’ for the holidays,” said Clermont Seniors’ Communications Director Linda Eppler.

“Citizens, businesses, churches and Scout troops provided gifts to lowerincome seniors across Clermont County.

Many of the seniors are alone with no family nearby and live without the basics that many of us take for granted; the generosity of the community will help make the holidays a little brighter.”

Astronaut visits Milford schools As a child, Rick Searfoss dreamed of becoming a pilot and an astronaut.

“When you focus on your goals, they can become reality,” said Colonel Searfoss, a former NASA astronaut and retired U.S. Air Force test pilot, during a visit to Mulberry Elementary School in Miami Township on Tuesday, Dec. 13.

Colonel Searfoss was visiting the school at the request of a fellow astronaut, Lt. Colonel Steve Heck, a teacher at the school, and one of a handful of teachers selected for the upcoming

Pathfinder sub-orbital flight.

“I’m hopeful Steve and I can fly together on the mission, probably in the next few years,” said Col. Searfoss, currently working as the lead test pilot with the commercial space program XCOR. Colonel Searfoss has piloted two shuttle missions, and commanded a third, logging over 939 hours in space.

“To look out the shuttle window and see the earth is a stunning experience,” he said. “Earth seems very close. What is really spectacular is how the view is Milford Schools science teacher Lt. Colonel Steve Heck and former astronaut and test pilot Colonel Rick Searfoss, during a recent visit at Mulberry Elementary School in Miami Township.

rather insightful questions about moisture.

“I really enjoy the opportunity to talk with young people about the importance of science and math,” he said.

“Their questions are great!”

Colonel Searfoss said he never tires of space travel and looks forward to his upcoming sub-orbital flights.

“This has been a dream come true,” he said, of the opportunity to be an astronaut. “Yes, it can be dangerous, but we must press forward and take managed risks in our exploration of space.”

He added that the children he talked to today could have an opportunity to travel in space and experience weightlessness through a suborbital flight during their lifetime.

More competition in the future will likely drive the cost down from $100,000, making it more affordable for more people.”

Pfeifer: Public Utility Commission

Seniors

Continued from page 4

Continued from page 4 I’ve never been much help in the kitchen, but with our menus all planned out it will be easy for me to help her with the cooking. I might even have some suggestions about how she can improve her cooking, and as we use the canned goods I’ll be able to track inventory and make a list of the items we need to purchase and restock.

Another nice thing about doing menu planning together will be all the money we will save. I’ve tried not to show it, but I’ve always thought Yvonne spends too much on groceries. I think she will be pleased when she sees how much money menu planning will save us.

I’m also looking forward to going grocery shopping with Yvonne. I can push the cart and help her do price comparisons by checking those little cost-per-serving labels they post in fine print below the prices. I don’t think she even looks at those numbers now, but with me along to help we will have time to do it right.

After we’ve gone grocery shopping together a couple of times, I think Yvonne will want me tag along on all of her shopping trips, which I’ll be glad to do. It takes her forever to pick out a pair of shoes or some household item like new place mats for the kitchen. I’ll be able to save her a lot of time by suggesting which shoes to try on, or suggesting which color of place mats to buy. Just think, for all these years she has had to make all of these decisions by herself. Now she will have me to help.

I know there will still be times when Yvonne will just want to go browsing at TJ Max and Marshall’s, but that’s okay because I’ll have plenty of time, and now she will have me there to gently remind her to avoid impulse buying.

For the past few months I’ve been dropping hints to Yvonne about needing to be more frugal when I retire, but I think the best thing I can do is just try to be a good example. One idea I have is about loading the dishwasher. When she is in the kitchen, without trying to be too obvious, I’ll load the dishwasher the right way, putting as many things in it as possible, and I’ll mention that doing so will help save money on our water bill. If this goes well, a few weeks later I’ll suggest that she wash the dishes in the sink instead of using the dishwasher.

One other idea I have is just for a nice surprise. I’ll suggest to Yvonne that she go shopping by herself. Then, while she’s gone I’ll rearrange the living room furniture to give it a fresh look. Won’t that be a surprise!

I have a lot of other ideas in mind to help make adjusting to my retirement as much fun for Yvonne as I know it will be for me. I can’t wait.

plant. Before that law was amended, in 2008, it allowed a utility to “divest itself of any generating asset at any time without commission approval.” But after it was amended, a utility company needed PUCO approval.

On July 31, 2008, Columbus Southern Power Company (CSP) filed an application seeking PUCO approval of an electric security plan. As part of that application, CSP sought “authority to sell or transfer two recently acquired generating facilities.” Although the company sought authority to sell, it made clear hat it had “no immediate plan to sell or transfer those facilities.”

The application did not include a request for increased rates to recover the costs of operating these facilities. But later in the proceedings a CSP witness stated that cost recovery would be appropriate as an alternate remedy.

In its initial order, the PUCO denied the request for authority to transfer the facilities, finding it premature. But the PUCO granted CSP the alternative relief of cost recover - roughly $51 million a year. Apparently satisfied with this outcome, the company didn’t seek a rehearing on the issue.

But that wasn’t the end of it.

A group called Industrial Energy Users - Ohio asked for a rehearing of the cost-recovery issue, and the PUCO reversed course. The commission agreed that CSP had “not demonstrated that its current revenue is inadequate to cover the costs associated with the generating facilities” and directed the company “to modify its electric security plan and remove the annual recovery of $51 million.”

After that, CSP did seek a rehearing, but the PUCO denied it. The Commission again directed CSP to file an application when it “estab-

lished a plan to exercise its authority to sell or transfer the facilities.”

CSP then filed an appeal with us - the Supreme Court of Ohio. The appeal presented us with two sets of issues: one was a question of jurisdiction.

Without going into details, we determined that we did have jurisdiction over the entire appeal. The other issue was substantive, and that’s what we’ll focus on here.

In its argument to our court, CSP, maintained that in an electric-security-plan proceeding, “it is unlawful for the Commission to deny the authority to sell or transfer generating assets and at the same time refuse to allow...an adjustment for costs associated with maintaining and operating those same assets.”

We disagreed and concluded that both decisions - the denial of CSP’s request to sell and the denial of cost recovery - were reasonable and lawful.

CSP had stated in its application that it had “no immediate plan to sell or transfer the generation facilities.” The company merely offered that if the PUCO authorized it to sell, CSP would “notify the Commission prior to any such transaction.”

But the Commission found that CSP’s request to sell was premature. The Commission denied the request but instructed CSP to “file a separate application, in accordance with the Commission’s rules, at the time that it wished to sell or transfer these generation facilities.”

The amended law, which was mentioned earlier, empowers the PUCO to approve or reject transfer applications, but that law gives no direction to the Commission concerning how it should exercise that power.

That effectively makes the decision a discretionary one.

The Commission did not abuse its discretion by withholding review of CSP’s request to sell until CSP sub-

mitted a concrete proposal.

The Ohio legislature amended the law with the intent that sales of generation assets receive Commission scrutiny so the PUCO acted reasonable by deferring review of CSP’s request.

CSP didn’t offer any information regarding the sale price, terms, conditions, or public impact - or, for that matter, even whether there would be a sale. Requiring CSP to reapply when it had such information was a reasonable application of the amended law.

As to the PUCO’s decision to deny cost recovery, CSP asserted that if the Commission denied transfer authority, then it must grant recovery instead. But the company did not show that this is true.

The governing law does not support CSP’s position. The law empowers the Commission to approve or reject the sale of generation assets, but it says nothing about cost recovery. As Chief Justice Maureen O’Connor noted in writing the majority opinion for this case, “It certainly does not guarantee cost recovery to utilities if they are denied authority to sell.”

We also determined that CSP had not shown that the Commission’s factual basis for denying cost recovery was unsound. the Commission concluded that CSP had not demonstrated that its rates were inadequate to cover the costs of operating the plants.

CSP offered no evidence suggesting that this conclusion was factually inaccurate.

Thus, for the reasons outlined here - in this little glimpse of just one small element of what goes on “behind the scenes” to make electricity flow - we affirmed the order of the PUCO by a seven-tozero vote.

Brown: Hiring Ohio’s heroes Continued from page 4 have access to the services needed to find good-paying jobs, and we have a critical new tool to combat high unemployment levels for Ohio’s veterans.

When local leaders, small business owners, and members of Congress work together to pass legislation that matters to Americans in places like Hamilton County, with more than 60,000 veterans, we can make a big difference. That is why I recently held a VA hearing at

Columbus State Community College to build on this momentum and continue improving the lives of Ohio’s veterans. This hearing was an important reminder that listening to Ohio’s veterans helps shape policies that will be beneficial to their continued career development and lifelong success.

By raising awareness of veterans’ jobs services and better coordinating the range of resources available to them, we can help improve job prospects for America’s heroes.

Ending veterans’ long waits between the end of service and the start of a new career will require smart legislation, local support, and continued outreach to veterans. If you’re interested in joining our efforts, contact my office at 888-896-OHIO (6446) or www.brown.senate.gov for additional information on how we can help end high unemployment among America’s veterans.

Keep active and beat the winter doldrums

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-

Seniors can beat the winter blues by signing up for programs at area lifelong learning centers sponsored by Clermont Senior Services. Pictured are seniors playing chair volleyball at the Miami Township Center and a senior participating in an art class at the Union Township Center.

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.

Williamsburg high school students attend fuel up to play 60 youth Summit Ten students from Mrs. King’s Family and Consumer Science classes traveled to Paul Brown Stadium to attend the Fuel Up to Play 60 Youth Summit.

While attending the summit the students learned about the importance of good nutrition and exercise by participating in on-field team building and leadership activities with Bengals Defensive End Michael Johnson and Bengals mascot Who-Dey. Williamsburg High School received a grant from the American Dairy Association to implement the Fuel Up to Play 60 program at the school.

The Fuel Up to Play 60 program empowers teens to take charge of their own health and work with school leaders to create long-term opportunities for 60 minutes of daily physical activity and make more healthy food choices like low-

Goshen’s Austin Fischer (3) blocks a Tigers’ shot attempt on Friday, Dec. 16. The Warriors held on to win as Bethel-Tate made a late comeback.

Goshen survives Bethel comeback

BY CHRIS CHANEY Sun staff

Goshen was able to survive a late comeback from BethelTate on Friday, Dec. 16 to squeak out a three-point win, their third of the season, 5350.

The Warriors opened up the game trying to get big man Marc Taylor involved early.

Goshen ran multiple set plays with an entry pass coming from the top of the key to Taylor who had sealed off his defender, giving him easy looks at the basket.

“The last two games, Marc has been great at the beginning,” Goshen head coach Scott Wake said after the game. “He’s finishing shots, which is something we have been working on with him.

“He always works hard for position, and now he’s knocking down the shots. It’s good to see him have a little bit of success.”

Bethel-Tate started out a little slow on the offensive end, settling for some outside jump shots and only scoring six points in the first quarter.

After one, Goshen led the visiting Tigers 9-6.

Goshen switched up their defense in the second quarter, leaving their man-to-man in favor of a one-three-one zone.

“It helps when we have Kyle [Wake] up there,” Coach Wake said. “He gets some deflections, he gets his hands on things, he’s long. When we’re doing it right, it works pretty effectively.”

Although the zone yielded a lot of deflections and kicked passes, the Tigers were able to utilize some skip passes to get open looks from the perimeter, tying the game at 18 a piece with a minute left in the first half following a Jason Adams three-pointer. The score would

remain 18-18 when the buzzer sounded.

The Tigers’ balanced offensive attack saw seven players score in the first half, but no one scored more than three points. Goshen, on the other hand, leaned on Taylor and senior forward Austin Fischer for the majority of their points.

Both coaches made halftime adjustments, most notably being the advent of full-court pressure following made baskets.

“We did okay, I’d like us to be a little smoother and be able to attack more out of it,” Wake said of his press break.

“We’re doing much better than we were a month ago.”

While the Warriors did an acceptable job breaking the Bethel pressure, the Tigers were able to hit some open shots and following Russell Hartley’s three-pointer, Bethel took their first lead of the game at 30-29 with three minutes left in the third quarter.

The Warriors did get some easy baskets in transition after breaking Bethel’s press, however, going on a mini-run towards the end of the third quarter. Goshen scored on four-straight field goals, capped off by Nick Messer’s and-one to give the Warriors a 37-30 lead heading into the final frame.

Facing their largest deficit, Bethel didn’t stop attacking.

The teams traded baskets to start the fourth quarter, but that wouldn’t be enough if the Tigers had thoughts of winning.

With four minutes left in the game, senior Matt Small hit a three to get the Tigers within four points, 41-37. The Warriors answered Small’s three with a pair of jump shots from Fischer and Kyle Wake to put the lead back up to eight.

But Bethel kept on fighting.

“They worked hard,” Wake said, “[Bethel coach Craig Stork] doesn’t play a lot of guys, but the guys they got keep playing hard.”

Goshen was up seven with 45.4 seconds left, but the Warriors touch from the foul line seemed to elude them.

The Warriors turned the ball over on an inbounds play and fouled Small with 26 seconds remaining.

The senior knocked down both foul shots to cut the lead to four.

Needing to foul, the Tigers sent junior guard Ryan Ashcraft to the line. Ashcraft hit one of two foul shots to put the Goshen lead back to five.

The Tigers answered right back with Small making a driving layup to cut the Warriors lead to three, 53-50 with 5.7 seconds left.

Goshen got the ball into Wake who was fouled immediately. In the double bonus, Wake only needed to make one of two to realistically ice the game for the Warriors. He missed both and a tie up on the rebound gave the possession to Bethel, down three with three seconds on the clock.

Bethel called a timeout and drew up a play, but with Goshen not allowing anyone behind them, the Tigers had to settle for Tyler Atkins shooting a half-court shot as the buzzer sounded. His shot hit off of the front of the rim and the Warriors escaped with the win.

Bethel’s Small took gamehigh scoring honors with his 16 points, one better than the Warriors’ Taylor who had 15.

Ashcraft had 12 points and Fischer had 11 for Goshen.

Small was helped out by Ryan Rees’ 10 points and Atkins’ six points.

Four of Amelia's starting five players scored 58 of their 63 points on Tuesday, Dec. 13 as the Barons defeated Southern Buckeye Conference foe Batavia by 10 points, 6353.

Starting the season with three-straight losses, Amelia came out of the gate with their hair on fire looking to pick up the season's first win. The Baron's sophomore forward Tommy Hacker looked to impose his will on the Bulldogs early and often, driving to the hoop at every opportunity.

“He has those bits and pieces of real good play,” Amelia head coach Craig Mazzaro said. “He came out and played really well.”

Hacker scored seven firstquarter points in what looked like a fairly lopsided opening frame, but to Batavia's credit, six different Bulldog players scored in the first quarter, including junior guard Sam Suttles.

With the Amelia student section attempting to throw off the Bulldog offense beginning a countdown of “fivefour-three-two-one” with 10 seconds remaining in the quarter, Suttles launched a desperation shot with what actually was five seconds remaining.

The shot banked off the backboard and went in to the dismay of the Amelia students, giving Batavia a 15-14 lead at the end of the quarter.

In the second quarter, Amelia was able to take control of the game as Hacker

received some help on the offensive end from guard Trevor Simon.

“We finally made a few shots, got a few steals and got our confidence up,” Mazzaro said. “We've been having some trouble scoring points.”

Simon, who the Barons were counting on coming into the season for some offense, had been struggling shooting the ball from the outside over the first three games of the season, including an 0-7 performance on Friday, Dec. 9 against Goshen.

The sophomore was able to find the range in the second quarter, scoring eight points including hitting back-to-back three-pointers to open up an 11-point lead with two minutes left in the half.

“He hit a couple shots, he's a good shooter,” said Mazzaro.

Batavia only made two field goals in the quarter, scoring just seven points total and trailed at the half by 10, 32-22.

Amelia's combination of Hacker, Simon, Christian Dean and Michael Crowder accounted for all 32 of the Barons first-half points.

The Bulldogs came out of the locker room putting an emphasis on getting into the paint and scoring easy buckets. Following made baskets, Batavia's guards would pressure the ball as Amelia brought it up the court, frustrating the young Barons and forcing some turnovers. The game picked up its pace in the third quarter as play started to develop more of an up-andSee Amelia, Page B10

UCClermont coach Hurley earns 900th win The elite fraternity of basketball coaches to win 900 games added a new member on Dec. 14 as University of Cincinnati Clermont College head basketball coach John Hurley reached the milestone with the Cougars 72-69 win over Rio Grande. “ I t ’s really kind of a relief,” Hurley said of his 900th win.

“It’s a time to reflect and look back on my career and Hurley remember the great players, great teams, the assistant coaches and the administrations that have helped me along the way.”

Hurley has built quite the basketball résumé beginning with his playing days at Bowling Green State University from 1959-63.

From BGSU, Hurley moved onto become an assistant coach at Ohio University while he was earning his master’s degree in physical education and school administration.

“The most fortunate thing for my career was the time I spent at Ohio University as an assistant,” Hurley said. “I had the opportunity to coach under Mike Schuler. He was an assistant for Bobby Knight and went on to coach the Portland Trailblazers.

“And there was Dale Bandy.

I learned a tremendous amount from those guys and soaked up a bunch of their basketball knowledge.”

Following his time at OU, Hurley coached Milford High School’s basketball team from 1971-76 where he accumulated 103 wins. Following his stint at Milford, he was hired on as the head coach at Cincinnati State. Hurley also helped launch the athletic program at Cincinnati State, which had previously been a strictly technical school.

Hurley stayed at Cincinnati State for 26 years, winning 554 games along the way.

While at Cincinnati State, Hurley’s teams won the Ohio Community College Athletic Conference championship nine times and the National Junior College Athletic Association regional championship four times.

Hurley came to UC Clermont in 2004 and had an immediate impact. Starting in his first season, Hurley led the Cougars to five consecutive Ohio Regional College Conference Championships from 2004-2008. Hurley capped off the run with a United States Collegiate Athletic Association National Championship in 2008.

During his stay in Clermont County, Hurley added 243 wins to get on the cusp on 900 career victories. After securing win No. 899, the Cougars dropped two-straight, something Hurley believed was brought on by the pressure of 900.

“I think it was a combination of things,” Hurley said about why 900 didn’t come right away. “We took off five days for exams and then when we came back, the burden of 900 wins was on the minds of the players.”

The Cougars lost to Berea on Dec. 9 in double overtime and then to Asbury on Dec. 10 by three points at a tournament the Eagles’ hosted in Wilmore, Ky. “We probably played our best game of the year at Rio Grande,” Hurley said of his 900th win.

With all his success at the junior college level, some may

Williamsburg’s duo gets it done

BY CHRIS CHANEY Sun staff

Williamsburg’s dynamic duo of Tara Dennis and Heidi McManus did most of the grunt work on Thursday, Dec. 15 as the Wildcats took down Felicity, 49-31.

Williamsburg got out to a slow start due to some poor shot selection in their first few trips down the floor. The taller Wildcats were able to use that size advantage on the defensive end to frustrate Felicity, however, and when head coach Ken Lowe got his message through to his girls, the game took on an entirely different feel.

“I was upset because of the way the kids were outside taking jump shots,” Lowe said.

“Being that we were a bigger team, all I had to do was talk to them and say, ‘hey, look ladies, we’re a bigger team than they are, let’s stick to our game plan. It will work for us.’”

Leading by one with the seconds ticking away in the first quarter, McManus forced a Felicity turnover and put up a running three-pointer that banked in as time expired to give the Wildcats a 9-6 lead.

As it tends to do, the offense for both squads picked up in the second quarter. Felicity’s Arica Stutz, the Cardinals’ goto scorer, got on track offensively while bodying up Dennis on the defensive end, making Williamsburg’s 6-foot senior take contested shots.

“Stutz is a good player, I have a lot of respect for her,” Lowe said. “She’s a good ath-

lete, period. I knew coming into the game that she would be a problem for us because she’s so athletic.”

With Dennis unable to get much going offensively, McManus picked up the slack.

The 5-foot-4 senior guard dropped 11 points in the second quarter and added yet another buzzer-beating threepointer to end the half, giving the Wildcats a 22-17 advantage.

“It’s nice to have two,” Lowe said of his major scoring threats. “Heidi’s had some really good games the last two games.

“She’s starting to step up, she’s starting to be a point guard and a true leader.”

Felicity came out in the second half and scored five unanswered points in the first minute and a half that tied the game and forced Coach Lowe to call an early timeout. After settling his team down, the Wildcats ended the third quarter on a 13-3 run to give Williamsburg their first real cushion of the game at 38-25.

The Cardinals wouldn’t go away, however. After a Stutzled flurry of points, Dennis made her presence known down low, banging bodies with the smaller Felicity front line. Dennis’ size advantage manifested itself on the offensive glass as the Wildcats’ leading scorer was able to play volleyball with herself, getting rebounds off her own missed shots and putting them back in for easy points.

“She struggled in the first half, but she really picked it up in the second half,” Lowe

Williamsburg’s Heidi McManus (2) shoots a free throw on Thursday, Dec. 15 in a game against Felicity. McManus scored a game-high 23 points as the Wilcats went on to win by 18 points, 49-31.

said. “Being her size, she’s been our leading scorer for the last few years now, she means a lot to the team.”

Dennis ended the game with 16 points and 14 rebounds as well as using her size in the lane to alter shots, including four blocks.

McManus scored a gamehigh 23 points and added eight

steals and four assists to her stat line. Over her last two games, McManus has scored 49 points for the Wildcats.

Between Dennis and McManus, they scored 41 of the 49 Williamsburg points.

Aside from those two, junior forward Sarah Wetzel played a good game, scoring eight points.

For Felicity, Stutz was their bright spot in a disappointing loss. She scored 17 points.

The Cardinals sit in sixth place in the Southern Buckeye Conference National Division at 0-5. The Cardinals lost on Saturday, Dec. 17 against Amelia. Felicity wrapped up See WBurg, Page B10

Albert J. Rodenberg, Jr., Sheriff Clermont County, OH John R. Cummins Attorney-at-law (614) 222-4921 CS 12-15t3 --------------------------------------------NOTICE OF FILING OF AMENDMENT TO A FEDERAL HYDROELECTRIC PROJECT LICENSE The City of Hamilton, Ohio and American Municipal Power (“Applicants”), co-licensees of the Meldahl Hydroelectric Project, FERC Project Number 12667, hereby notify resource agencies, Native American Indian tribes and members of the public that on November 30, 2011 they submitted to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”) an application to amend the transmission route contained in the existing federal license (“Amendment”). The Amendment consists of the installation of a new 138 kV overhead transmission line and the construction of a substation to support the transmission of electricity generated at the Meldahl hydroelectric power plant currently under construction at the Meldahl Locks and Dam (“Meldahl Plant”) located at Ohio River Mile 436.2. The powerhouse for the Meldahl Plant is located in Bracken County, Kentucky.

The Amendment includes constructing an electric transmission line from the Project, across the Ohio River just upstream of the existing Meldahl Locks and Dam at Ohio River Mile 436.2, to an existing 345 kV Zimmer-Spurlock transmission line in Clermont County, Ohio, inland from the Ohio-side landing of the river crossing. The Amendment also consists of constructing a substation to interconnect the new 138 kV transmission line with the existing 345 kV Zimmer-Spurlock transmission line. The transmission line and substation are necessary to step-up and tie-in electric power generation from the project into the transmission grid via the Spurlock transmission line. As currently proposed, the approximately 2.5 mile transmission line will be routed across the Ohio River and through Franklin and Washington Townships with an interconnection at the new substation. The transmission route travels primarily through non-forested land and directly north from the Meldahl Plant to the interconnection.

The Amendment is available for viewing and printing by accessing FERC’s electronic library at http://elibrary.ferc.gov/idmws/dock et_search.asp (under FERC Docket Number P-12667).

The Amendment is also available for viewing and reproduction at the following locations: Clermont County Public Library 326 Broadway Street Batavia, OH 45103 City of Hamilton, Ohio City Clerk’s Office 345 High Street Hamilton, OH 45011 Written comments on the Amendment may be submitted to FERC and should specifically reference “City of Hamilton, Ohio and American Municipal Power ˗ Meldahl Hydroelectric Project 12667.” Comments will be made public and included in the public files.

down style.

Both squads were getting out on fast breaks with Batavia fighting tooth and nail to get back into the game.

Every time it seemed like the Bulldogs were onto something, Amelia answered.

Batavia's David Pelphrey cut the Amelia lead to eight after scoring a basket plus the foul with four minutes left in the third. The Barons answered with Dean's own and-one, putting their lead back up to 11 points.

“Dean really stepped up for us tonight,” Mazzaro said.

“He got a couple [shots] in, got a little confidence and kept playing hard.”

But again, the Bulldogs cut into the lead, this time with an and-one from Matt Cooper to draw within seven points, but on the ensuing possession, Simon hit another three from the right wing to put the Barons back up 10.

Following a quarter that saw 34 points combined, Amelia held the same 10-point advantage that they enjoyed at half time.

In the fourth quarter with the game in their control, Coach Mazzaro switched to a zone defense in an attempt to confuse the Bulldogs and slow the game down. His strategy worked as his zone rotated well to cover open shooters.

Batavia's offense struggled to find good shots against the new-look Amelia defense, costing them valuable time.

Trailing by 11 with four minutes remaining, Batavia had to try and do something to get back into the game, putting on their full-court press, but reach-in fouls translated to free throw attempts for the Barons, who were in the bonus.

The Amelia zone continued to bother the Bulldogs and prevented them from getting into any kind of rhythm offensively as time ticked away.

WBurg: Dennis and McManus carry load

Both teams traded garbagetime baskets, again tying the quarter, giving Amelia their first win of the season, 63-53.

On this night, Amelia's starters proved to be enough to dispatch of Batavia, but Coach Mazzaro feels like they need to get some more production from the supporting cast.

“We're trying to find some stuff on the bench, we're working in different rotations,” Mazzaro explained.

“We're so young and inexperienced that we haven't settled into roles yet.”

Simon led the way for the Barons with a game-high 19 points; Hacker added 15,

MT. ORAB - The simple answer to explain how the Goshen girls basketball team lost to Southern Buckeye Conference American Division foe Western Brown last Thursday night was that they turned the ball over too many times.

A more detailed explanation would probably go on to say that the Lady Warriors struggled against the Lady Broncos because they are simply a young team that is dealing with injuries to several key seniors and had a hard time adjusting to the experienced Western Brown squad’s pressure defense.

But a more appropriate reason for the Lady Warriors 6544 loss was most likely a combination of the two.

“Too many turnovers.

Definitely too many turnovers. That affects you,” first-year Goshen coach Dave Mason said. “We’re still coming back. We just got one of our seniors back tonight, her first game back (was) tonight, (that was Allie) Jeandrevin.

That’s a plus. We’re still young. A lot of freshman and sophomores.”

Early on the Western Brown pressure got the Lady Warriors (1-4, 0-3 SBC American).

Several of their 13 first half turnovers led directly to Western Brown offense.

That was particularly true as the second quarter got underway.

Though the Lady Broncos had jumped out to a 12-2 lead in the first quarter, the Lady Warriors fought back to make it a 12-7 game as the second quarter began thanks to a long jumper from Kelly Parriman and late 3-pointer from Jeandrevin.

But as the second quarter got underway, Western Brown began to open their lead.

The Lady Broncos went on a 13-2 run over a little less than three minutes to jump out to a 25-11 lead with 3:34 left in the quarter.

Six of the points on the run were scored directly off of Goshen turnovers including

Goshen forward Becca Davidson goes up for a layup during a game on Thursday, Dec. 15.

Davidson scored six points for the Lady Warriors as they fell to the Lady Broncos 65-44.

Hannah Wiesenhahn’s easy layup off a steal as the Lady Warriors tried to inbound against the full court press.

“It shocked us that it hurt us,” Mason said of the Lady Broncos press. “We worked on it but when you get out in the limelight it makes it a little different.”

Though the Lady Broncos continued to put pressure on them, the Lady Warriors were able to stay within striking distance thanks to the play of Parriman as the half was nearing its end.

Her persistence on the offensive glass paid off as she scored five points in the final 2:10 of the quarter -- all off of offensive rebounds -- to keep Goshen within 14, 33-19, as the half came to an end.

Parriman scored all nine of her points in the first half and

grabbed seven of her 10 rebounds.

“We moved Kelly from the wing over the summer to a post player,” Mason said.

“It’s tougher on her because she used to be a wing but she gives us a little more athleticism in the post.”

The second half opened nearly identical to the opening minutes of the second quarter.

Using their defense as the catalyst, the Lady Broncos converted missed Lady Warrior shots and turnovers into easy offense to open their lead to 46-21 with 4:15 left in the quarter thanks to another 13-2 run.

However, the Lady Warriors refused to go down without a fight.

Senior guard Jeandrevin -playing for the first time this

season -- went to work. She scored six straight points, the last of which was a 3-pointer with 1:50 left in the quarter, to close the Western Brown lead to 46-27.

Then teammate Kelsi Steele followed Jeandrevin’s 3-pointer with one of her own to bring Goshen within 16, 46-30, with 43 seconds left in the quarter.

But Western Brown’s Morgan Wright hit a short jump shot to push the Lady Broncos lead back to 18, 4830, as the fourth quarter began.

Once again, however, the Lady Warriors struck back.

As the final quarter got underway, Becca Davidson converted in the post to decrease the deficit to 16 again.

Then Jeandrevin -- who

scored a team high 13 points off the bench -- hit one of two free throws before she drilled another 3-pointer.

Suddenly the Lady Bronco lead was only 48-36 with 5:56 left in the game.

“Great effort,” Mason said.

“I’ve never been able to knock the effort.”

The Lady Warriors quick 60 run was answered by Western Brown guard Kylie Garrett’s 3-pointer. Garrett scored a game high 24 points.

Davidson then converted again in the post to bring the Lady Bronco back to 51-38.

But that would be as close as the Lady Warriors would get.

Western Brown answered Davidson’s bucket with nine straight points -- several of those off of Goshen turnovers -- to put the game away.

“Western Brown, give them hats off,” Mason said. “Very good athleticism. They stepped up and when we turned it over they took advantage.”

Seniors Steele, who added 11 points, and Courtney Taylor, who grabbed eight rebounds, stepped up to help out classmates Jeandrevin and Parriman.

Though Jeandrevin returned for the Lady Warriors, key senior post players Jessica Wilcher and Kaitlyn Tucker are still out for the Lady Warriors as they continue to battle injuries.

Freshman Courtney Turner chipped in with five points while sophomore Davidson scored four points and classmate Hannah Owens added a pair.

“They fought until the final horn,” Western Brown coach Kyle Fender said, “so all the credit in the world to them for their effort tonight.”
