20/20 Master Recycler Composter - "Outstanding
Project" |
| |
|
Clean and Green "Master Recycler Composter
Program"
recognized by the Ohio Environmental
Education Fund
The Clermont 20/20 Clean and Green "Master Recycler
Composter Program" was recognized by the Ohio
Environmental Education Fund (OEEF) as an Outstanding
Project. Completed grant projects were examined by
independent reviewers to determine which projects met
OEEF's highest standards for excellence and
effectiveness in environmental education. The
"Master Recycler Composter Program" met and exceeded all
standards. Andrea Kilbourne, Office of
Environmental Education said, "I would like to publicly
acknowledge this initiative for its remarkable
outcome." The Clermont 20/20 Clean and
Green "Master Recycler Composter Program" provided a
manual and an 8-week train-the-trainer course to equip
volunteers to conduct community outreach programs.
The volunteers involve Clermont County residents in
recycling and composting efforts, teach environmental
and public health issues surrounding waste disposal. We
would like to thank the Adams-Clermont Solid Waste
District and the Ohio EPA/Ohio Environmental Education
Fund for the funding to create and present the
program. For information about upcoming
environmental events in Clermont County please contact

College Goal Sunday 2009 a Big
Success |
|
|
Clermont 20/20's college access program,
Clermont Educational Opportunities, partnered with The
University of Cincinnati-Clermont College to host
College Goal Sunday 2009 for the first time on February
8th. College Goal Sunday is a free event offered
throughout the nation on the Sunday after the Super Bowl
that helps students and families complete the Free
Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), the form
that is required to apply for federal financial aid for
college. Other partners in this event included
UC-Clermont Enrollment and Student Services, the
UC-Clermont TRIO programs, High School guidance
counselors and other community volunteers. Thirty-nine
college-bound students and their families participated
in College Goal Sunday, and almost all were able to
submit their FAFSA online from one of the college's
computers. UC-Clermont College hopes to make this an
annual event. It helps students and families in the
community complete their financial aid applications
early, allowing them the chance to qualify for more
financial aid.

Safety Tip from Clermont County Sheriff Tim
Rodenberg |
|
|
If you hear something suspicious press the
"panic button"
Most vehicles now are equipped with a
remote key fob that unlocks your vehicle and is also
equipped with a "panic button". Put your car keys
beside your bed at night. If you hear something
suspicious press the "panic button" on the fob for your
car. The alarm will be set off, and the horn will
continue to sound until either you turn it off or the
car battery dies.
It's a security alarm system that requires no
installation. Test it and it will go off from most
everywhere inside your house and will keep honking until
your battery runs down or you reset it with the button
on the key fob. It works if you park in your
driveway or garage. If your car alarm goes off
when someone is trying to break into your house, odds
are the burglar will depart in a hurry.
Also, after a few seconds, your neighbors may look out
their windows to see what is happening.
Carry your keys while walking to your vehicle
in a parking lot or garage and the alarm will work the
same way there if you are approached by someone.
This could save your life or prevent an
attack.
Another application of this tactic
is for folks who are advancing in years and could have a
medical emergency or fall down in the house or yard away
from a phone. By carrying the keys with them they
can activate the vehicle alarm and alert another family
member or neighbor that there is a
problem.
