The Clermont CountyVeterans’ ServiceCommission, along with theBatavia Township Board ofTrustees, unveiled the FallenHeroes Memorial on VeteransDay, Nov. 11.The Veterans Service
Commission proposed theidea for a memorial to beinstalled near the HumveeMemorial site at the BataviaTownship Community Center,and Batavia Trustees thoughtit would be a great addition tothe memorial alreadyinstalled.The memorial honors the 14
Clermont County men whodied serving the country fromthe Persian Gulf War forward.“On behalf of the township
this is a great honor for us,”Trustee Jim Sauls said aboutunveiling the memorial.“When we built the HumveeMemorial, that was great, butwe couldn’t be more sure ofthis.”Trustees, Veterans’ Service
Commission officials, as wellas friends and family mem-bers of the fallen men werepresent for the unveiling ofthe memorial.
The names of the men wereread out loud and familymembers were given anopportunity to place a rosebeside the memorial in honorof their loved-one. “Our hearts go out to you all
and we want to thank you forraising such heroes,”Commissioner Bob Proud saidbefore names were read.Staff Sergeant Chuck Kiser
(Iraq), Specialist GregoryMissman (Afghanistan), StaffSergeant Matthew Maupin(Iraq), Specialist Joseph Bauer(Afghanistan), Staff SergeantTony Wojciechowski (Iraq),Lance Corporal Nick Erdy(Iraq), Captain Tyler Swisher(Iraq), Lance Corporal BryanTaylor (Iraq), Lance CorporalBilly Spencer (Iraq), SergeantPhillip McNeill (Iraq),Captain David Seth Mitchell(Afghanistan), SpecialistJacob Dohrenwend, SeniorAirman Todd Rose and LanceCorporal James Lumpkins(Saudi Arabia) were all hon-ored for their service.The names of the men, as
well as their dates of birth anddeath, are engraved on thememorial, which was createdby Rolf Monuments. For StaffSgt. Matt Maupin, whose dateof death is unknown, the stone
reads “Known only by God.”“It’s wonderful they did that
to remember all of them,”Carolyn Maupin, MattMaupin's mother, said. “That
way they’ll never be forgot-ten.”For many family members
seeing the memorial was bit-ter-sweet. While it brought
back sadness that their lovedones are no longer alive, italso provides a place wherethe fallen heroes can beremembered.
“They’ll never be forgottenbecause their names willalways be here,” Glenda

Bethel Village Councilmembers passed a resolutionNov. 14 in opposition to theproposed, preferred Asianlonghorned beetle eradicationplan for Clermont and Browncounties. Council members discussed
their feelings about the plan attheir council meeting. “This ALB thing is starting
to affect all of us,”Councilwoman Donna Gunnsaid. “I drove down SwingsCorner at about 5:15 and itjust made me sick. We need tostop this in its tracks.”Gunn also read a poem enti-
tled “I am the tree.” She said itis important for everyone tothink about what the proposederadication efforts wouldmean for the village if allowedto continue.The eradication plan pro-
posed by the United StatesDepartment of AgricultureAnimal and Plant Health
Inspection Service and sup-ported by the OhioDepartment of Agriculture,includes the removal of all5,069 trees infested by theAsian longhorned beetle. In addition, USDA-APHIS
is in the process of completingan environmental assessment,in which they intend to pro-pose the removal of an esti-mated 50,000 high-risk hosttrees in close proximity to theinfested trees.According to USDA-
APHIS officials, the removalof the high-risk host trees willensure that all trees that areinfested, or could be infested,are removed from the area. “Look around folks,
because it will never look likethis in our lifetime again,”Gunn said about the removalof host trees.Councilman Rus Whitley
said he has two farms that areaffected by the beetle.“I'm going to let them take
what they have to,” Whitleysaid. “Don't let them take ourtrees that far out, that are notaffected.”And while APHIS officials
believe host tree removal isthe best way to prevent futureinfestations in Ohio and sur-rounding states, residents,
who could lose many trees,expressed their opposition tothis at a Nov. 7 public meet-ing.In the wake of the meeting,
council members passedResolution 913 Nov. 14 tooppose the plan “whereas theplan to remove in excess of50,000 healthy trees in addi-tion to the 5,000 known infest-ed trees is a blatant abuse ofpower and is an unnecessaryand unacceptable plan.”The resolution states that
the village withdraws its sup-port of the proposed Asianlonghorned beetle eradicationplan. It also suggests the useof a chemical treatment onhost trees as an alternative toremoving them. The resolution, along with a
letter from Mayor James Dickwas sent to Governor JohnKasich. Mayor Dick's letter high-
lighted the infestation time-line, the proposed method oferadication and discussed howthe infestation was handled byAPHIS officials. “It is apparent based upon
public meetings hosted locallyby the USDA that the ODA,Division of Plant Health isleaving the specifics of deter-mining of the eradication
efforts here in Ohio in thehands of the federal govern-ment with little regard for theinput of local citizens andlocal and county govern-ments,” Mayor Dick wrote.Mayor Dick also raised con-
cerns about the village, town-ship and county governmentsnot being involved in eradica-tion plans, the inconsistencyin the eradication plan thatwas presented to affected resi-dents and the general publicand more. He concluded by asking for
a quick response, as eradica-tion efforts began Nov. 14, thesame day the letter wasaddressed. While local governments
and residents will have oppor-tunities to provide suggestionsand concerns with eradicationefforts, Brett Gates, publicinformation officer for ODAsaid the authority to handleinvasive pests are highlightedin the Ohio Revised Code sec-tion 927.70.“The director of ODA has
the authority in the OhioRevised Code to get rid of anydestructive pest,” Gates said.“We are following the guid-ance of APHIS and we havethis authority to eradicate sucha destructive pest.”

The Clermont CountyHumane Society hosted itsannual dinner auction Nov. 5and raised more than $40,000that will be used to help ani-mals that don’t have a home.“It was a wonderful, won-
derful event,” DebbieSiegroth, development direc-tor at the humane society,said. “To have so many peopleattend and support the causewas just unbelievable.”Siegroth said more than 350
people attended the selloutevent, which was held atNorlyn Manor in Batavia.Guests had the opportunity
to bid on silent auction items,enjoy a sit-down dinner andbid on live auction itemsthroughout the evening.“We had many wonderful
live auction items and silentauction items,” Siegroth said.“This committee worked sohard.”She said items ranged from
watches and jewelry to asigned photograph of theApollo 11 crew. In addition,
there was a raff le heldthat included a trip to LasVegas, Nev., an iPod andmore. There were also manypet items to choose from atthe auction.Siegroth said many spon-
sors also helped make theevent possible and successful,including Terry and JeanDalhover, Ed and Nadora Hill,Sporty's and many more. And while the money raised
at the auction is crucial for thehumane society, whichSiegroth said relies on dona-tions to operate, the auctionalso provided an opportunityto spread the word about ani-mals that need adoption.“They had sheets with ani-
mals that need to be adoptedon the tables for people toview,” Siegroth said. “So theycould see what kind of ani-mals we have at the shelterthat want to be loved.”Siegroth said she knows of
at least one animal that wasadopted that night. And hergoal for the shelter is to be theplace of choice for anyone

A 14-year-old Anderson Township BoyScout took part in a bake sale, held a car wash,and recycled aluminum cans to raise $700 forimprovements to the cat room at the ClermontCounty Animal Shelter, located at 4025 FilagerRoad in Batavia Township.
Robbie Himebaugh used the money formaterials to build 15-inch tall, 3-foot-wide ris-ers that are under cat cages at the adoption cen-ter. “It’s a lot easier now for workers at theshelter to clean the cages and for kids to seeinside them,” said Himebaugh.
Robbie completed the project over the sum-mer, working toward the rank of Eagle Scout.“For five solid weeks this summer I couldn’tuse my garage because it was covered withlumber and sawdust,” said Robbie’s dad, JimHimebaugh. “I am very pleased with how heworked on and followed through with this proj-ect.”
“Robbie, his mentors and fellow troop mem-bers did a great job pulling this project togeth-er,” said Clermont Animal Shelter DirectorKim Naegel. “The transformation to the catroom is astounding. Raising the cages enablesus to better showcase the cats and invitespotential adopter interaction. The cats lovetheir new higher vantage point and allows themdo what they do best - show off!”
For information on adopting one of the manyanimals currently housed at the ClermontCounty Animal Shelter, call (513) 732-8854.

A freak October snowstormthat dumped up to 32 inchesof snow on the New Englandstates two weeks ago wasresponsible for 29 deaths andcaused power outages to 2million people.
Ohio hasn’t seen snow yetthis season, but withovernight temperatures dip-ping in the 30s, and chilly,frosty mornings, we knowthat winter is on its way.
The Ohio Committee forSevere Weather Awareness(OCSWA) encourages every-one to take the time now toprepare themselves and theirhomes for the upcoming sea-son.
In a coordinated effort withOCSWA, Governor John R.Kasich has proclaimed Nov.13-19 as Ohio’s WinterSafety Awareness Week. Thisis an ideal time for homes,schools, businesses andorganizations to update theirsafety plans and disaster sup-ply kits and prepare for win-ter-related incidents.
“Don’t let winter catch youoff-guard. Winterize yourhomes and vehicles now,before the first major snow-fall hits,” said NancyDragani, executive directorof the Ohio EmergencyManagement Agency.“Heavy snow and ice canbring down power lines fordays. So, get ready now, justin case. Ensure your smokeand carbon monoxide detec-tors are working.
Ensure you have enoughstored food and water to sup-ply your family for severaldays. Review your emer-gency plans. Purchase aNOAA Weather Radio to benotified of storm watches andwarnings in your area.”
To help prepare for theupcoming winter months,OCSWA recommends the fol-lowing:
Prepare your home for win-ter. Cut and remove low-hanging and dead treebranches. Ice, snow andstrong winds can cause treelimbs to break and fall.
Have your gutters cleaned.Snow and ice can build upquickly if gutters are cloggedwith debris. Have auxiliaryheaters, furnaces and fire-places maintenance checkedor serviced before using.
If using a portable genera-tor, read instructions thor-oughly to guard against car-bon monoxide poisoning.Review your homeowner’sinsurance policy; consideryour need for flood insur-ance.
Prepare winter disaster kitsfor the home and vehicle.Refresh stored nonperishablefoods and bottled water.Change the batteries in yoursmoke detectors, carbonmonoxide detectors andradios.
Winter emergency kitsshould include warm cloth-ing, blankets, flashlights, newbatteries, coats, hats, gloves,a battery-operated or hand-cranked radio, first aid kit,and enough nonperishablefood and water (one gallonper person, per day) to sustaineach family member for atleast three days. Have storedfood, bottled water and sup-plies for your pets, as well.
Invest in a NOAA PublicAlert/Weather Radio. Everyhome, school and businessshould have a tone-alertweather radio with a batteryback-up.
Weather and public alertradios are programmed toautomatically sound an alertduring public safety andsevere weather events. Clickon www.weather.gov/nwr/for additional information.
Update your disaster pre-paredness plans. Every home,
school, business and organi-zation should have writtenplans for the different typesof disasters that can occur.
Review the plans with theentire family or staff.Everyone should know whatto do in the event of a snow orice storm, a prolonged poweroutage, a flood or fire. Postcontact information for yourlocal emergency management
agency.Prepare and practice drills
that require sheltering inplace and evacuation.
Update your emergencycontact list and establish ameeting place outside of thehome, school or business,where others will knowwhere to find or meet you.
The Ohio Committee forSevere Weather Awareness is
an advocate for emergencypreparedness and is com-prised of representatives fromthe American Red Cross;Emergency ManagementAssociation of Ohio;National Weather Service;Hands On, Central Ohio;Ohio Department of PublicSafety-EmergencyManagement Agency; OhioInsurance Institute: Ohio
News Network; OhioDepartment of Commerce –State Fire Marshal; and theOhio Departments of Aging,Education, Health, Insurance,Natural Resources, andTransportation.

Ted Nugent made catscratch fever (actually calledcat scratch disease) nearly ahousehold name with his songin the late seventies, but mostpeople still know little aboutthis infection other than itinvolves a fever spread by catscratches.In fact, it involves infection
by a bacterium calledBartonella henselae, which isspread by fleas. Classically,cats transmit the organismwhen they are parasitized byfleas, scratch themselves, andget infected flea dirt (digestedhost’s blood excreted byfleas) in their claws, andscratch a person or another catwith their dirty claws.
The Human DiseaseInfection with Bartonella
henselae in the immunocom-petent (healthy) person leadsto cat scratch disease. Theinoculation site (a scratchfrom a claw containing bits offlea dirt) develops a small redbump called a papule. About2 to 3 weeks following con-tact with the infected cat, thelymph node in the area of thecontact will swell and becomepainful and a fever develops.These signs generally resolveon their own and the condi-tion is minor.If the patient does not have
a competent immune system(HIV positive, pregnant), oneof several much more serioussyndromes can result. Theinfection goes deeper into thebody causing spleen enlarge-ment, and potentiallyencephalitis, heart valveinfection.
How likely is it for a catto beinfected?Since fleas carry the bacte-
ria, cats with insufficient fleacontrol are at highest risk.This means cats living in cli-mates that are warm andhumid (conditions fleas thrivebest in) are most likely to beinfected. If conditions areright, up to 40 percent of catsin an area may be infected. Ifa person is diagnosed with catscratch disease, there is a 90percent chance that the catsthey own will be found infect-ed as well.This sounds somewhat con-
cerning for the cat-owners ina flea area but it is importantto realize that an infected catcannot transmit the infectionwithout a claw full of fleadirt. If the fleas are removedfrom the infected cat, therewill be no flea dirt in the coatand no risk of disease trans-mission.
Do Infected Cats getSick?Several illnesses seem to
have been associated withBartonella infection (fever,deep eye inflammation,lymph node enlargement,muscle pain, reproductivefailure, and bacterial heartvalve deposits called endo-carditis.)Bartonella henselae infec-
tion may be one of main caus-es of the progressive oral dis-
ease of cats called plasma cellstomatitis. It seems that catsinfected with both Bartonellahenselae and the felineimmunodeficiency virus havean increased incidence of thiscondition compared to whatwould be expected fromeither infection alone.Bartonella infection may be
at the root of numerous chron-ic inflammatory conditions ofcats. With such regionallyhigh numbers of infected cats(up to 40 percent), it is diffi-cult to prove one way or theother whether there is a realassociation or just coinci-dence.
Is my Cat Infected?Possibly. Have your veteri-
narian test your cat for thedisease. Prevention of Human
Infection: Guidelines fromthe Centers For DiseaseControl
Prevention ofExposureHIV-infected persons, par-
ticularly those who areseverely immunosuppressed,are at unusually high risk fordeveloping relatively severedisease due to infection withBartonella, which can betransmitted from cats. Thesepersons should consider thepotential risks of cat owner-ship. Persons who acquire acat should adopt or purchasean animal aged greater than 1year that is in good health. Although declawing is not
generally advised, HIV-infected persons should avoidrough play with cats and situ-ations in which scratches arelikely. Any cat-associatedwound should be washedpromptly. Cats should not beallowed to lick open woundsor cuts of HIV-infected per-sons. Care of cats shouldinclude flea control.

It’s Thanksgiving week.And if you’re fortunate, youcan look around yourThanksgiving table and seeseveral generations of yourfamily. Of course, as youknow, many types of cohe-siveness are involved in knit-ting a family together.But one connection that fre-
quently gets ignored, at leastin terms of family dialogue, isthe financial linkage betweenparents and their children onone hand, and these same par-ents and their parents on theother. So if you find yourselfin this “sandwich” group, itmay be worth consideringyour financial position. If your children are very
young, you might want to startby emphasizing the impor-tance of three separate con-cepts: saving, spending andsharing.If you give them an
allowance, or if you pay themto do some minor tasks aroundthe household, you canencourage them to put themoney in three separate con-tainers. The “spending” jar isfor them to use as they choose,the “saving” jar is to be put insome type of savings orinvestment account and the“sharing” jar is to be used forcontributions to charitablecauses. You can extend thespending, saving and sharingthemes by encouraging yourkids to spend wisely, watchhow their savings grow andfeel pride in the work done bythe charitable groups theirdollars support.Later, when your kids are
older, and can earn money bybabysitting, mowing lawns orworking part-time, you canfurther encourage good finan-cial habits by offering tomatch their contributions to aRoth IRA. And be sure to dis-cuss the different types ofinvestments available; theymay enjoy learning about theways in which they can partic-ipate in the financial markets. Above all else, talk to them
about the importance of devel-oping good financial skillsand how these skills will playa part in your family’s overallwell being.Now, let’s turn to your par-
ents. If they’re elderly, youmay find that talking to themabout financial issues may beconsiderably more challeng-ing than talking about theseissues with your children. It’sunfortunate, but true: Peopleare sensitive about money andoften don’t want to talk aboutit. You may find that you need
to be persistent, especially if
your parents are getting on inyears. Perhaps you encouragethem to consider their currentposition, and what planningmight need to be considered.Do they have accounts in alocal bank? Where are theirinvestments held? Do theyhave a financial advisor?Have they worked with legalprofessionals on any arrange-ments? If your parents have
expressed interest in leaving alegacy or passing assets tofamily members, you mightconsider encouraging them toseek assistance from theappropriate professionals.After all, if something were tohappen to your parents with-out them having made theproper arrangements, their
wishes may not be carried out. So this Thanksgiving, as
you think about the value ofyour family, you might takesome time to consider issuesthat need to be addressed.It may take time and dili-
gence — but when it comes to
your loved one's wishes andwell-being, it’s probablyworth the effort.
Article submitted by S.Christian Wilks, anInvestment Representativewith Edward Jones, Milford.
For as far back as you canremember, your parents havetaught you that sharing is theright thing to do.You’ve always been told to
let others play nicely withyour toys and look gently atyour books. If you havecandy, you’re encouraged togive someone else a bite. Youmight share your day, a sillystory, a snuggly blanket, aseat, or a box of colors. When you have abundance,
it’s always nice to share. Andas you’ll see in the book“Thanksgiving Graces” byMark Kimball Moulton, illus-trated by David Wenzel, whenyou give, you also get back.It’s Thanksgiving Day, and
everyone’s getting ready. Theturkey smells soooo good inthe oven and the whole fami-ly is helping set the table.Grandma’s making pies
when there’s a knock on thedoor. It’s the neighbor,Charlie, and she asks him tostay for dinner. There’s plentyof food and plenty of room atthe table for him. Charliesays he’d be glad to stay, butonly if Grandma and Momwould let him pitch in andhelp. He rolls up his sleevesand plunges his arms into hotsoapy water. Having someoneto wash dishes is always a bighelp.When the door opens a
minute later, it’s big brotherJim, home from college andhe’s not alone. He brought a
friend, but that’s okay.There’s plenty to eat and lotsof room for two more. Jimsneaks a taste of what’s on thestove, and Mom laughs. Jimhas done this before.Then everyone hears the
sound of a horn honking. Twomore people arrive andGrandpa adds another table atthe end. Another guest calls tosee if she can bring her cousinand her mother. Every timesomeone asks if there’s roomfor an extra, the answer isalways “Yes! Of course!” But as the table gets longer
and the room seems smaller,one young host gets a littleworried. Grandma didn’tmake a lot of pies. Thereweren’t many potatoes boil-ing on the stove, and theturkey wasn’t very big – wasit? Would there be enoughfood at this Thanksgivingtable? Sometimes, particularly
when you’re a kid, it’s hard toseparate the “thanks” ofThanksgiving from the leg-ends, the parades, and the fun.But this sweetly gentle littlestory, told in rhyme, explainsthe real meaning behind whywe gather. In author Mark Kimball
Moulton’s holiday house,there’s love, warmth, andwelcome as the table slowlyexpands to make room forevery new arrival. I loved thequiet worry in the words ofMoulton’s young narrator andI loved the simplicity ofMoulton’s story-poem, butneither would be the samewithout artist David Wenzel.One look at Wenzel’s illustra-tions, and you can almost hearthe laughter in this perfectlythankful book.Two-to-8-year-olds will
love “Thanksgiving Graces,”but I don’t think anyone ofany age would mind a read-aloud this holiday. Whetheryours is a feast for two or afete for two thousand, this is abook to share.
