13 million expected as real estate taxes due Thirteen million dollars in four weeks. That’s what Brown County Treasurer Connie Patrick expects to process through her office as the second round of real estate taxes are due for 2011. Patrick said her office is already processing two hundred mailed payments per day and taking another forty or so at the counter. She expects both numbers to increase four to five times as the due date of July 6 approaches. That means that her office will be getting up to one thousand letters per day. “It’s very intense for a few weeks”, Patrick said. “We process all the payments and we still maintain all the operations of the office. We work with all of the walk ins and we have tons of phone calls.” To handle the extra workload, Patrick and her three full-time employees will get help from one part-time employee to help process payments.
Patrick said that one piece of information that is crucial for people with questions is their parcel identification number. “The parcel identification number does not change, even if the address does.”, Patrick said. “Customers need to know the parcel numbers of all the properties they are asking about, because that helps us find the information for them that they’re looking for.” The parcel number is included on the tax bills, Patrick said. For those taxpayers who are paying at the last minute, Patrick said that a federal postmark is what her office goes by to see if a payment is on time or late. “I tell people as they get close to the due date to personally take their payment to the post office and request that it be hand cancelled with a post mark. That’s the only acceptable stamp that will avoid a late penalty”, Patrick said. To make things easier for taxpayers, Patrick said that seven local banks are currently offering to take payments
from property owners through July 6. “That gives the taxpayer an option to pay after our office is closed or on Saturday”, Patrick said. Patrick added that taxpayers must bring their bill with them to the bank and pay the correct amount due. The seven banks are Citizens Deposit Bank in Ripley and Aberdeen; Fifth Third Bank in Georgetown and Russellville; First Safety Bank in Georgetown; Merchant’s Bank in Mt. Orab, Georgetown and Higginsport; National Bank and Trust in Georgetown, Mt. Orab and Sardinia; NCB Bank in Fayetteville and First State Bank in Georgetown, Mt. Orab and Ripley. “It’s a great service to the community that the banks do this. It helps me and it helps the taxpayer.”, Patrick said. Unpaid taxes after July 6 are subject to a ten percent penalty. Patrick said there are a couple of options to reduce the amount their tax. “People can apply for a 2.5 percent reduction in their taxes if the amount is assessed
Ripley Village Council considers filing civil suit against Lang By Martha Jacob The Brown County Press Members of the Ripley Village Council are faced with the decision of whether to file a civil suit against former village utility clerk Katherine Lang. Following a special investigative audit that took place in November 2010, it was determined that $952,618 was missing from Ripley’s utility account. The investigation led to the arrest of Lang who had seven charges filed against her in the court of common pleas, alleging that Lang stole the money which was taxpayer funds between January 2006 and October 2009. She was later indicted for three counts of theft in office and seven counts of tampering with evidence by the Brown County Grand Jury. She pleaded guilty to three charges and was sentenced to a total of 13 years in prison. She was also ordered to pay the full amount of $952,618 in restitution to the Village of

Ripley and an additional $121,982 to cover the cost of the special audit. “We have the option to file a civil suit against Kathy Lang,” explained Jay Cutrell, solicitor for the village. “I’ve done all the paper work on this with the bonding company in regard to filing a suit. But in reviewing what the court has already done, with the criminal case, the defendant was ordered to pay restitution in the amount of $952,618 on count one and $121,982 on counts two and three.” Cutrell explained that Common Pleas Judge Scott Gusweiler already gave the village the judgement it needed. “These are judgements enforceable by law,” he added. “I don’t think we need to file a civil suit, but I will do it if you want me to.” Councilman Daniel Dragoo expressed a concern he had with not filing the civil suit. “My understanding of all this is, that judgement was part of a criminal sentence,” Dragoo began, “So lets say she serves her time in prison, and she gets out, and she’s on probation or parole, which ever. And she shows up and makes a restitution payment of what ever she can afford, which within the five years, isn’t going to be near a million dollars. As long as, during that time, she hasn’t done anything to break probation or violate any rules, who’s to say that the courts will say forget it, she’s paid all she can?” Cutrell added that he didn’t think filing a civil suit would get the village anything more. Mayor Tom Leonard said that he believed the courts made it perfectly clear that her restitution payments were forever. Cutrell plans to talk with CONTINUED ON PAGE 11

on their primary residence. It’s not automatic, you have to apply for it through through the auditor’s office.” In Brown County, the Auditor is Doug Green, whose office is across the hall from Patrick’s. Another option for taxpayers is the Homestead Exemption. It allows taxpayers 65 and older to exempt $25,000 dollars of their property value from their tax assessment. That exemption must also be applied for through Green’s office. But Patrick said there are a number of options for someone who is falling behind or is in danger of missing the deadline. “If they pay within ten days of the deadline, that penalty can be reduced to five percent”, Patrick said. Patrick said that payment arrangements can be made for just about anyone that would like to explore them. “If they are current on their taxes, they have the option to do a monthly escrow, the same process as they do with their mortgage. We provide a payment book and they can

Russellville park to receive memorial to Seth Blevins BY Martha Jacob The Brown County Press Russellville resident Lisa Vogel, representing RD’s Wayside Inn, approached Russellville Village Council, June 14, to discuss an upcoming benefit bike run, to help raise funds for the Seth Blevins Scholarship Fund. Blevins was the 21 year old soldier from the Russellville area who was killed in Afghanistan on May 23. “I would like to ask permission to use the space in front of the police/sewer building for registration and parking,” Vogel asked council. “I am also hoping that the police will be on duty that day of the benefit bike run.” Representatives from the Police and Sewer Department’s felt that this was
a worthwhile event and assured Vogel that the parking and other issues would not be a problem. Vogel said she had heard some discussion regarding placing a special marker in the village park honoring Blevins. She said that a lot of the members of the American Legion would like to see the marker placed in the park. Councilman Billy Kilgore made a motion that the marker be allowed to be placed in the park and the motion was carried. Next in the public participation period of the meeting, resident Crystal Francis wanted to express her irritation at reporting a dog bite incident that happened in November, involving her young daughter that was reported to Chief of Police Bill Collett, that was
never filed. “I have talked to Mr. Salisbury (a council member) about the whole dog situation and how upset I am about it and about the chief not doing his job last fall and I want that to be known. “I reported the incident not only to Chief Collett and the dog warden and nothing was done.” At that point, Sherri Neu (Russellville EMS) stated that just recently, her daughter too had been bitten on the leg by the same dog. The dog is located near the EMS structure and her daughter was playing beside the building. “When I reported the dog to the dog warden,” began Neu, “he said that he thought he had received a report on a previous dog bite in that area.

The NCB bank in Fayetteville is locking the doors. The bank sent out letters to all their customers in regard to major changes in security issues according to Randy Carson, Fayetteville Chief of Police. Chief Carson read a copy of the letter aloud at the June 8 village council meeting. “The bank staff apologizes in the letter it sent out, for any inconvenience the changes may cause,” Chief Carson said. “The letter said that new bank procedures have been implemented including an intercom system where customers entering the bank must be recognized before being allowed to enter. They explain that the changes were necessary for the safety of both the employees and the cus-
tomers.” The letter also asked customers to watch closely when the doors are opened for them to make sure no one tries to run in while they are entering. Chief Carson stated that just recently three people in hooded masks tried to enter the bank but were unable to do so because the doors were locked. “The drive-through will remain the same,” added Chief Carson. “Personally I think this is a good idea. Is it going to be a little inconvenient? Yes it is, Is it going to make us bank somewhere else? No, I don’t think so. They are doing what is safest for everyone.” Chief Carson also reported to council that the Citgo in Fayetteville had been robbed a couple of times, but his department caught one of the men within a week or so. “We have also filed charges

on the other guy,” he added. “We found that the guy was accused of a bank robbery in West Union, and we ended up finding blood inside the car and that it had been stolen. The BCI (Bureau of Criminal Investigation) was called in and DNA taken from the car ended up coming up with a match from a man in the Adams County Jail.” In other business at the meeting Jim McMullen, councilman and vice mayor, told council that potholes had been filled throughout the village thanks in part to the Perry Township Trustees. “Thanks to the Perry Township Trustees for donating the material for the blacktop,” McMullen said. “We really appreciate their help.” McMullen also said that village employee Bill Young had received a price on a 10-gallon water heater for the village, at a cost of $300. Mayor Bernie Vilvins said that he knew about the cost and had already approved the purchase and it had been ordered. Chief Carson then told council that the newly refurbished radar unit for a police cruiser had been ordered at a total cost of $960. “The man was originally asking $1,250 for the radar unit,” Carson said, “but he ended up giving up $250 on a trade-in. We also have 30 days to make up our minds and try it out. That way we can make sure it works the way we need it to.” Carson said one of the cruisers was in need of four new tires and another cruiser had air conditioner issues but were now fixed. Other issues discussed by council were: • the recent power washing of park picnic tables which were ready to be sanded and painted; • local members of the FCCLA volunteered to help with whatever the village needed done; • trash pick-up by Rumpke needed to be done more often at the park; • contracts were close to being signed between the village and the football and baseball teams who use the park; • brief discussion on the upcoming ice cream social, more information and discussion planned for the next council meeting; • the village clerk received results from a recent audit, and only procedural issues were addressed.
The Grant Amateur Radio Club in Georgetown will join thousands of Amateur Radio operators who will be showing off their emergency capabilities on Saturday, June 25 Sunday, June 26. Over the past year, the news has been full of reports of ham radio operators providing critical communications during unexpected emergencies in towns across America including the California wildfires, winter storms, tornadoes and other events worldwide. During Hurricane Katrina, Amateur Radio – often called “Ham Radio” was often the ONLY way people could communicate, and hundreds of volunteer “hams” traveled south to save lives and property. When trouble is brewing, Amateur Radio’s people are often the first to provide rescuers with critical information and communications. On the weekend of June 25 – 26, the public will have a chance to meet and talk with ham radio operators in our area and see for themselves what the Amateur Radio Service is about. Showing the newest digital and satellite capabilities, voice communications and even historical Morse code, hams from across the USA will be holding public demonstrations of emergency communications abilities. “Field Day” is an annual event at the end of a week long “Amateur Radio Week” sponsored by the ARRL, the national association for Amateur Radio.

4th Annual Accapella Singing set for Friday, June 24 at Highland County Fairgrounds Once again, Christians from the tri-state area, will gather together for the sole purpose of praising God in song on Friday, June 24, beginning at 7 p.m. at the Highland County Fairgrounds. The congregation that meets at Sunnyside Church of Christ sponsors the event and they would like to invite everyone to come out and enjoy the singing festivities. This singing is not about denominations, it’s not about being great singers, it’s about singing from the heart to thank the Lord in song and prayer. We especially welcome song leaders. In past singings, all four parts, soprano, alto, tenor and bass were each well represented. The strong and magnificent sounds coming from the Wharton Building shook the rafters and could be heard
blocks away. Please come out and enjoy the singing. No collections will be taken up. The more participants in this accapella singing, the more beautiful the praise. For more information visit www.sunnysidechurchofchrist.org or please send your question to Dacronman@gmail.com.

emergency power supplies, ham operators will construct emergency stations in parks, shopping malls, schools and backyards around the country. Their slogan, “When All Else Fails, Ham Radio Works” is more than just words to the hams as they prove they can send messages in many forms without the use of phone systems, internet or any other infrastructure that can be compromised in a crisis. More than 35,000 amateur radio operators across the country participated in last year’s event. In the Georgetown/ Hamersville area, the Grant Amateur Radio Club will be demonstrating Amateur Radio at 11401 State Route 774, Bethel, OH on Saturday, June 25 through Sunday, June 26 beginning at 2 p.m. The public is most cordially invited to come, meet and talk with the hams. See what modern Amateur Radio can do. They can even help you get on the air with your own FCC radio license before the next disaster strikes. There are over 685,000 Amateur Radio licensees in the US and more than 2.5 million around the world. Through the ARRL’s Amateur Radio Emergency Services program, ham volunteers provide both emergency communications for thousands of state and local emergency response agencies and non-emergency community services too, all for free.

F’ville NCB implements new safety measures, police catch robbers, radar units ordered

By Martha Jacob The Brown County Press ‘Gabber,’ the police dog with the Georgetown Police Department, is recuperating after having surgery to remove a rubber ball from his intestines, according to Police Chief Forrest “Buddy” Coburn. Chief Coburn told members of the Georgetown Village Council, June 10, that Gabber was going to be just fine now that the operation is over and should be back in action in a week or two. “I’d say the dog is doing better than Shaun is,” Chief Coburn said with a smile. “He was a lot more upset than the dog.” Mayor Dale Cahall jokingly asked if workers comp was going to come up. Gabber was taken to the Georgetown Animal Hospital, Inc., on Hamer Road for the operation. Doctors at the clinic said the three and a half year old German Shepherd should have no after effects from the surgery. In other business at the meeting, council voted to move $6,000 from the drug fund into the police department line items for the purchase of a special camera plus a computer. According to Chief Coburn the camera/computer apparatus will be installed in Patrolman Inlow’s vehicle which will assist him with drug enforcement and investigations. The actual cost of the equipment is approximately $5,700. Chief Coburn said his office has been busy the past week or so, recovering at least 17 grate covers off storm drains that were stolen throughout the village. Village Administrator, Kelly Jones said that some of the grates were as big as six feet across and weighed a lot. “A couple of these grates are valued at $300 which makes these thefts a felony,” Jones told council. Coburn said one boy has been arrested and he anticipates at least two more arrests in the case. “We were fortunate that we got a call from Scott McKinney, owner of McKinney’s Auto Parts, who buys metal,” Coburn said. “We figured they would go straight to McKinney’s to try and sell them, and they did. We’ve gotten back most of the grates, only a few are still unaccounted for.” Chief Coburn went on to say he appreciates all the help he has received from Scott McKinney through the years. Jones told council that he had received a statement from the Granite Company in Vermont that was working on the statue of Ulysses S. Grant being sculpted for the village. “The statement was for $5,500 for the statue,” Jones

said. “I forwarded the statement to the Homestead Association. I don’t think they paid the full amount but they paid some of it. I talked to the company the other day and he doesn’t think the sculpture is going to move any further unless he receives what he says is due him. All together we’ve put in between $12 and $13 thousand, that’s more than half the original cost of $19,500. We need to get in touch with Stan Purdy and see what their intent is, but at this point it is only about half finished.” In other business, Jay Cutrell, solicitor for the village gave an update on the Fern Laycock estate. Mrs. Laycock passed away a few years ago and left 10 percent of her $1.9 million estate to the Georgetown Perpetual Care Fund for the upkeep of Confidence Cemetery, and 90 percent to be used to set up scholarships within the school district. “The Laycock’s were very, very nice people,” Cutrell said. “Ferne left all her personal belongings and household items to her nephew and his wife. However, there was a 1992 Mercury Topaz, valued at $1,600 that was not mentioned in her will. It is my belief that she wanted the vehicle to go to her nephew since it was at her residence.” Cutrell asked council to consent to allowing the nephew to keep the car. Council voted unanimously to approve the motion.

Ohioans: watch for tax identity theft

Letters to the Editor
Reader says church leaders need to be accountable Dear Editor, I recently had a minister respond to one of my articles having to do with the merits of ‘individualism’ and he, to say the least, was extremely displeased with my viewpoints. I was taken to task by this gentleman for holding a view which was, in his opinion, a violation of the Christian world view. It was his contention that individualism is the very opposite of what ‘Christian community’ is a ll about - that you cannot be part of the church and see yourself as being independent in your thinking and your approach to it. When asked why he was so opposed to the idea of a Christian thinking of him-
self/herself in terms of being an individualist, he was quick to respond, “How can a pastor control a congregation full of individualists thinking for themselves?” (Keep focus on the word ‘control’ being u sed!) Lead is one thing, control is another. Good leaders don’t have to be control freaks and they don’t have to bend over backwards to make people follow their lead. A person is willing to follow ones leadership if it is merited, not imposed. An individualist will not be led around by the nose because he/she is somewhat skeptical of authority unless the one in leadership can prove his/her being trustworthy and gen-
uine and not dictatorial. People who think for themselves are a precious commodity - people who think for themselves and yet become willing participants in a church setting, are to be prized and treasured. Why? Because they can think and not be easily led astray - they should be an example to others in the fold. On top of this, they can help hold leadership accountable. Every congregation needs checks and balances. A minister who does not allow for this is setting his congregation up to become a ‘cult’. It matters not about a church being denominational or non-denominational, its all about leadership being held
accountable by the membership. The only way this can happen is if the members can show an ability to think for themselves. Why is this of such importance to me? Because we are now closing i n on a time when the church is going to be challenged in a very big way to keep itself from being swayed off track by false prophets and false teachers, many of which will make every effort to do the thinking for the members of the congregation. Church members cannot afford to be played for a bunch of numbskulls. They need to show an ability to think for themselves. Rev. Sam Talley

This year the High School Seat Belt Challenge was a four-week peer-led program conducted during Prom season to promote consistent teen seat belt use. Two local high schools (the Southern Hills Career & Technical Center and the Ripley-Union-LewisHuntington High School) participated in the 2011 Challenge. The Southern Hills Career & Technical Center received the Awards for the Best Overall Seat Belt Use Rate and also the Best Seat Belt Use Rate of Improvement. Southern Hills’s student body had a 17% increase in its students’ seat belt use from the beginning to the end of the Challenge Program period, for a final use rate of 86% . (This rate exceeds the overall county use rate of September 2010 by 11%!) The award for the single Best Seat Belt Promotion Intervention went to the Ripley-Union-LewisHuntington High’s FCCLA Chapter, which worked with the Media Production class at

the promise of $1,200 to $1,400 refunds from the IRS. In reality, the affected individuals typically received government assistance and were not eligible to receive any kind of tax refund from the IRS. "If someone promised you a special tax refund and asked for your Social Security number, it's likely a scam and you should contact my office immediately," DeWine said. Attorney General DeWine says that individuals who received a prepaid debit card as part of the "special stimulus program" should not cash the card or spend any money on it, because the refund is not legitimate. Consumers who believe they have been affected by a tax scam should file a complaint with the Ohio Attorney General's Office at www.OhioAttorneyGeneral.g ov or by calling 800-2820515.

RULH to produce a DVD. This DVD promoted teen seat belt use. RULH students were the DVD’s actors, so the DVD and its message made a more personal connection with the RULH student body. Congratulations to all of these student groups (and to their faculty advisors Gus Baumgartner at SHCTC and Michele Rau & Karla Walters at RULH High School) for a job well done! The Seat Belt Challenge Awards were given out at the Brown County Safe Communities’ Click It Or Ticket kick-off on May 24th. We express our deep appreciation to Todd Cluxton, Brown County Engineer for hosting this event and to the Southern Hills Career & Technical Center for providing the
catered continental breakfast. Many, many thanks again to our Seat Belt Challenge donors and to all of the teens and adults at the participating schools who cared enough to get involved. We are now entering one of the deadliest times of the year for teen drivers-- summer vacation time. Parents, make a pact with your teens—draw up a seat belt contract and stick to its terms. Grandparents, aunts, uncles, and other citizens concerned with teen safety, please be good examples for our youth and remember to buckle up every time, every ride!

Bubp introduces resolution to commemorate FDR’s D-Day Prayer State Representative Danny Bubp (R-West Union) today introduced a House resolution urging Congress to install at the World War II Memorial in Washington D.C. a plaque or inscription with the words that President Franklin D. Roosevelt prayed on June 6, 1944—commonly known as “D-Day.” “It is an honor to sponsor this resolution,” stated Bubp. “On this day 67 years ago, President Roosevelt offered a prayer for courage and steadfastness for the troops fighting on the beaches of Normandy and prayed for renewed faith and strength for their families at home. We are forever indebted to these men and women for their sacrifice and devotion.” On June 6, 1944 the United States Armed Forces and their allies conducted the largest amphibious landing in world history in an effort to liberate mainland Europe from Nazi
Danny BuBp occupation during World War II. President Roosevelt shared a prayer over the airwaves on the morning of the D-Day landings, asking for courage, safety and victory. President Roosevelt prayed, “Almighty God: Our sons, pride of our Nation, this day have set upon a mighty endeavor, a struggle to preserve our Republic, our religion, and our civilization, and to set free a suffering humanity. Lead them straight and true; give strength to their arms, stoutness to their hearts, steadfastness in their faith…” Rep. Bubp introduced the resolution on the 67th anniversary of D-Day.

Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine is warning Ohioans to watch for signs of tax identity theft after receiving dozens of complaints involving potential tax fraud. "The IRS is reporting a significant increase in taxpayer identity theft, and we are seeing signs of it in Ohio," Attorney General DeWine said. "We want to warn all Ohioans that thieves may try to use your Social Security number to fraudulently obtain a tax refund in your name." Since March, the Ohio Attorney General's Consumer Protection Section has received more than 50 complaints from Northeast Ohio consumers who said they were promised money from a "special stimulus program" from the IRS. The consumers said they provided their personal information, including name, Social Security number and date of birth, in exchange for

The Blessing we have is Allison Gibson, her staff, and the Friends of the Library who cares enough about us to bring in such talent as Steve Free and his wife (And for free!) Right now Steve has a number 11 record on the charts. His concert was very enjoyable and the musical talents of him and his wife were great! Thanks very much to all who made that concert possible. Also, the day before I had the opportunity to show my young friends all that the library had to offer them. We arrived just a little too late to participate in the children's project that was nearly completed for that day. Something is always going on at the library. Even this gal learned something-just outside the upstairs door is a blue plaque embedded in the pillar. It was to that mark that the flood came in1937. Oh yes, I had seen plenty of pictures of that flood but that blue marker seemed to put a new perspective to the degree of incredibility of that flood. *** Later in the summer Daniel Boone will be making an appearance. I can hardly wait to finally meet mine and my mom's first cousin. *** Speaking of the beautiful Ohio River it is again time for River Sweep! This will be held June 18. They are always on the look out for volunteers. For more info call (800) 359-3927. During this time Ripley will be celebrating their first Mayor's Summer Song Series at the Ripley Community Park from 6-10 p.m. If the other side of the river interests you more the Agritourism will be held the same day in Augusta from 10-4 p.m. for more info call (606) 584-0451. *** The Brown County Historical Society will meet for their annual historical tour.

HIS WORD Turn with me to John 8:28-29: “Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things. And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.” Now ladies and gentlemen, here is the goal for you and I. Jesus said that He does always those things that please God the Father. We need to have that same goal. You have heard the phrase: what would Jesus do. Well, He does always those things that please the Father. You and I should endeavor to please God in every thing that we do and say. I want to point out a few things here. I believe that to please God there are 3 basic things a saved person should do. They should pray; they should attend church; and they should read the Bible. On May 2, 1611 the King James Bible came off the press. May 2, 2011 was the 400th anniversary of that event. To quote Time magazine “the King James Bible was not a book of poetry, or philosophy, or music, or mystery, but sometimes all of these; which is one reason that the King James Bible remains embedded in our language 400 years after its publication on May 2, 1611.” But now ladies and gentlemen, in our day and age in America the New International Version, Mr. Murdoch’s Bible, is outselling the King James Bible. But listen to me people. The Authorized King James Bible was around a long time before Mr. Murdoch’s Bible or any other modern Bible in the King James English. It is amazing to me that the Authorized King James Bible matches the Dead Sea Scrolls, which are according to the Masoretic Text. How could it be that those scrolls, having been covered for 2000 years in those caves and discovered only in 1947-48, match so completely the Authorized King James Bible printed 400 years ago? Not only that, but a Jewish Bible printed in Israel, translated by Jews from the Masoretic Text, also matches the Authorized King James Bible but does not match with these new versions. Can you tell me why? I can. I, myself, can find 2 major errors in just the first chapter of the NIV. Ladies and gentlemen, do not forget that the Old Testament of the
B R O A D S H E E T
DR. CHARLES SMITH MT. ORAB BIBLE BAPTIST CHURCH www.bbcmtorab.com Bible is the very foundation for the New Testament of the Bible. And that a Jewish Old Testament Bible matches the Old Testament of the Authorized King James Bible. Jesus said that heaven and earth would pass away but His word would not pass away. God has guaranteed to protect and preserve His Bible for you and for me. Do you want to please God? Look with me in Deuteronomy 4:2: “Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.” What about these new versions? Did you know that you cannot copyright a new product unless there is a minimum of 15% change to say it is a new translation? Do you think that God is pleased that His word has been changed by at least 15% by man in order to “quote” make it more readable? No, He is not! Look at Proverbs 30:6: “Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.” Revelation 22:18-19: “For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of the prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.” Do you want to risk changing God’s word? The NIV, along with other new versions do not seem to mind. In fact, they leave out whole verses such as Acts 8:37. If you want to please God do not change His Holy Word and do not reject His great plan of salvation. If you are not saved, get saved. That is a great way to please Him! Following that, attend church, pray, and read His Holy Word to grow in grace and knowledge of Him.

The deadline is Thursday, June 30 to submit nominations for the Ohio Veterans Hall of Fame. The Hall is dedicated to recognizing Ohio veterans who, after their military service, put their skills and abilities to work in their local communities – and by their continued service and positive accomplishments, inspired their fellow citizens. “We’re asking that anyone who knows a veteran who’s made a real difference in their community, to please send in a nomination,” said Tom Moe, Director of the Ohio Department of Veterans Services and a 2009 inductee of the Hall. “There are a lot of great Ohio veterans who deserve recognition for what they’ve done here at home, as well as for what they did for our country.” The Ohio Veterans Hall of Fame was established in 1992 by former Gov. George Voinovich to recognize the post-military achievements of outstanding veterans. Charter members of the Hall’s Class
of 1993 included the six Ohio military veterans who were elected President of the United States and all Medal of Honor recipients from Ohio. Honorees of the past 17 years include astronauts, government officials, police officers, community leaders, and veterans’ advocates. The Hall of Fame Foundation, a committee of veterans, serves as advisors for the Hall of Fame and selects approximately 20 inductees annually from nominations provided by all citizens of Ohio. Men and women chosen for induction into the Hall come from all eras, all branches of service and all walks of life. The members of the Ohio Veterans Hall of Fame are honored in a permanent display on the second floor of the Riffe Center in downtown Columbus.

Second grade hot air balloon presentation The second grade students of Hamersville Elementary completed their Good Behavior Award presentations on Friday, May 20th with a fantastic HOT AIR BALLOON presentation from Charlie Mays of BALLOON IMPRESSIONS of Williamsburg. The sun was shining and the winds were calm as the K-4 students all watched the event unfold. The students “ooood and ahhhhd” as the colorful, giant balloon filled with air. The second graders had the opportunity to help fold up the balloon to be put away. Each student was excited to have their picture taken as they stood in the basket which was hand made. Students learned that hot air balloons are the oldest form of flight. In order to fly a balloon you must have a license and be a pilot. For more information about hot air balloons and upcoming events where large groups of balloons will fill the night sky, contact Charlie Mays or log onto: www.flyballoonimpressions.com. The teachers and students would like to say a great big thank you to Mr. Mays and his helpers for a job well done.

Beefs Up 4-H Club participates in window display contest The Beefs Up 4-H club participated in 4-H week by participating in a window display contest. The club met at Merchants Bank in Mt.Orab. They decorated a window display titled "A Family Tradition". We chose this theme because we are lucky to have many generations of 4-Hers in the family's of our club members. So, 4-H members and their family's photos were posted in the windows. It also included the projects the members participate in at the fair. The members that attended were, Brayden and Landen Mount's Family , Justin and Katelyn Cowdrey's Family, Darcy, Drew And Dara Howser's Family, Tessa and Kellan Pinkerton's family, and Cain Schneider's Family. The club was excited to do this project and have their display for the whole town to see. The Club would like to thank Merchants Bank for letting them use their space.

DaviD Dugan son that loose mineral costs more than a trace mineral block or a plain salt block, too. Ok, let’s keep going. Black leg is deadly. Dead calves do not bring much money back to your operation. In fact if you bury the dead calf yourself it will probably cost you at least an hour of your time. Not having time is one of the excuses for not vaccinating the calf to begin with, so maybe we need to re-think this. The vaccine is way less than a dollar per calf. With today’s calf prices how many vaccinations would that dead calf that you had to find time to bury have paid for in your operation? How about check for pregnancy in your herd? If you have only on e calving season this can be a major issue. The cost for this while doing a vaccination program for your heifers and cows included will probably cost less than what one retained cow would cost that ends up open. I say that using the average cow herd in Ohio of being less than 20 cows. Pasture in some parts seems to be not recovering real well early in June, and some have reported hay that is only about 2/ 3 of last year’s in cases where fields were too wet
to fertilize. Ok, I think I have driven the idea of pregnancy checking, but I kind of skipped over the idea on the vaccination program. Talk to your local vet about this, but there are several things that can be prevented with a good vaccination program. Again, it is like insurance. It does not seem like a big deal until half of the herd has aborted calve s. How about $40 or so to have your bull semen checked? He was fine last year, right? How long will it take you to find out he is not doing the job this year? Think about that one. Your calving season could change a little. Maybe a few months would be lost, and how many pounds of calves? Well, flies seem to be bad again. A good fly program will pay for itself in pounds of gain, too. The other issues ar e things that flies and other biting insects can carry and spread. Anaplasmosis can spread by flies and insects, and it is deadly to mature cows if you have a carrier in the herd. This is only the tip of the iceberg and few examples. Hopefully it is obvious that all of these little costs can add up, but in the long run do they add up to a big cost or a big savings? Local SOACDF Meetings The local meetings for the Southern Ohio Agricultural and Community Development Foundation (Tobacco Foundation) will be held on July 7th at the Southern State Community
College at the Appalachian Gateway Center beginning at 2:00 p.m. The second SOACDF meeting will be held at the Southern Hills Career Center (JVS) on Hamer Road in Georgetown, next to John Deere just off of US 68. The complete list of meetings for the SOACDF is listed below. In the past eligibility was based strictly on having a history of owning tobacco quota or producing tobacco during the years of 1997 through 2004. For the most part that is still the case, but there is a new program that has opened the opportunity up to some people that did not raise tobacco. The new program is called the Young Farmer Program. Details can be found by attending one of the mee tings. The Educational Assistance Program is already in place for the 2011-2012 school year. Applications are available on-line or you can pick them up at the Foundation Office in Hillsboro, at any local FSA Office or local OSU Extension Office. Questions about the program can be answered by calling (937)393-2700. • Thursday, July 7, 2011 at 2 p.m. - Southern State Community College, US 62, Fincastle • Thursda y, July 14, 2010 at 6:30 p.m. - Southern Hills JVS, Hamer Rd., Georgetown Local Programs and Deadlines As we get very close to the end of the first half of the year, it is
prices, it is hard to get speakers to travel unless you have a full class room. If there is a certain number th at is needed to make the program a go and we have that number, we can gladly take later registrations in most cases, but if we do not have enough people to make the class we may have to make the decision to cancel the class. Please in the future if you have interest in a class or program that requires pre-registration; do not wait until the last day or two. I will try to do better by putting a deadlin e that will give me plenty of time to do the little things that need to be done, too.
Spelling Bee to be held The Literacy Council of Clermont and Brown Counties will be hosting a spelling bee. The council is looking for three member teams and items for a silent auction.

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! God took the strength of a mountain, The majesty of a tree, The warmth of a summer sun, The calm of a quiet sea, The generous soul of nature, The comforting arm of night, The wisdom of the ages, The power of the eagle's flight, The joy of a morning in spring, The faith of a mustard seed, The patience of eternity, The depth of a family need. Then God combined these qualities. When there was nothing more to add, He knew His masterpiece was complete, And so, He called it ... "DAD!"

amazing how fast the first 6 months of 2011 have gone. It has been a year to remember as far as how much rain we had in April and May. How late it was when most of the planting was done because of the excessive rain, and how quickly so man y acres were done. This is also a year that has been an experience at the OSU Extension Office. Traveling from county to county it has often been a situation where I am not always sure which office I am suppose to be in the next day, so I hope I have returned all of the messages or calls. There are times when I may not be in a particular county office for over a week due to other job obligations, so if your call slips through the cracks please call again. When you need a quick answer, make sure whoever you are talking to knows that your call is urgent. On another note, it has been somewhat of a challenge with scheduling programs like the Master Gardener Class that was unfortunately cancelled this week. I am sometimes guilty of not setting firm deadlines. However with this new setting for covering three counti es I need to do that. There is usually several hours of preparation that has to happen once we know the program is a go. These include things like time to order or copy books or handouts, time to reserve a room of proper size, time to confirm speakers, etc. With travel expenses so high due to gas

Little Costs vs, Big Savings We have all had that car that seems to be nickel and diming you to death. There seems to be the same feeling with farming these days regardless of what kind of operation the farm is conducting. First let’s look as something that might be very obvious to every farmer regardless of the operation. You name it grain operations, hay operations or cow/calf operations, among others. The cost to repair a shaft or bearing on a piece of equipment vs. the grease needed to the machine properly lubed. Maybe it is better to look at it as insurance for others who do not relate to the grease. In either case, as we get caught up with planting and making hay, it is time to look at a few other things that might need some attention. First let’s look at the cow/calf operation. Do you use parasite control for worms and grubs? The cost of these products vs. the loss of production is scary. Some of the products are available in a generic form, while others may seem a little pricey, but in either case they do not compare to the cost that you would see in production loss. How about minerals? Francis Fluharty, OSU Extension Beef Nutrition Specialist, has often told me that the better mineral is still the best buy. I guess the idea of you get what you pay for comes into play here. There is a reason that some mineral cost more than others. There is a rea-

Ripley Village Council Georgetown Schools pick Tom Durbin as considers filing civil next Superintendent, 2 year contract signed suit against Lang Judge Gusweiler about the matter and continue discussion at the next meeting. In a related issue, Cutrell told council that he had started the process of contacting the firm that did the audits for the village, but it had stalled in the clerks office. “I sent a letter to the CPA firm that did the audits on the village utilities books during those years the funds came up missing, but as of yet I have not heard back,” Cutrell said. “We have to make a decision on where we want to go with this matter. I was hoping we would have a response that we could follow up on by now.” Cutrell said he just wants the firm to know that the village thinks that they should share some of the responsibility in the Lang case. “I guess our next step, if we don’t hear from them,” Cutrell said, “is to probably file some kind of suit against them. I would recommend to council that it considers getting another attorney who
specializes in these kind of matters to handle it.” Cutrell said he would check into finding a good attorney and the issue would be discussed again at the next meeting. In other business at the meeting council decided to organize a special committee, to include several council members and residents to thoroughly review a pending property maintenance ordinance. “This committee will work together and go over all the pro’s and con’s concerning this ordinance,” explained Charles Ashmore, Village Administrator, “The mayor and I have discussed this at length and feel like we need to get the community in involved, since this ordinance will effect them. We will advertise in the next couple of weeks for people to join this committee and offer their input.” Ashmore said that anyone interested in being a part of that committee should contact him.
Crane pleads not guilty in death of wife CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Crane also faces two second degree felony charges of Corrupting Another with Drugs and two fifth degree felony counts of Possession of Heroin. He also faces three misdemeanor charges of Permitting Drug Abuse and Possession of Drug Abuse Instruments. Regarding the indictment, Brown County Prosecuting Attorney Jessica Little said that “but for (Crane’s) commission of these drug offenses, Christine Crane would be alive today. His conduct is the proximate cause of her death. A woman’s life ended because of Crane’s drug related behavior.” Christine Crane was found unresponsive by Aberdeen Life Squad rescue crews on March 17, after Robert Crane placed a 911 call. was taken to She Meadowview Regional Medical Center in Maysville, Ky., where she was pronounced dead by Mason County Coroner Robert Brothers. In a Bill of Particulars filed by Little, she claims that Crane possessed Heroin, permitted his
wife to use it. Under Count Three, Corrupting Another With Drugs, the Bill of Particulars reads “on or about or between the 16th day of March and the 17th day of March, 2011...the defendant prepared a syringe containing Heroin, gave it to Christine Crane, she injected herself with the syringe, and as a result she died from a Heroin overdose.” Little also alleged that Crane prepared a syringe full of Heroin and injected his wife with it at least one other time. Under Count Seven, Corrupting Another With Drugs, the Bill of Particulars reads “on or about the 1st day of January, 2011 and the 17th day of March, 2011...the defendant injected a syringe containing Heroin into the foot of Christine Crane.” Christine Crane’s death of Heroin Toxicity is the basis for the Involuntary Manslaughter charges against Robert Crane. Little said that Crane faces “decades” in prison if convicted of the most serious charges against him.

Patrick said for those who do fall behind, help is available as well. “We have a program that allows people to pay toward their delinquent amount as long as they are paying their current years tax bill on time”, Patrick said. She added that people have been on such a program for as long as two years and were able to get caught up. “The additional penalties and interest charges that may be charged are held in suspension as long as they are on the program”, Patrick said. “As long as they meet the terms of their agreement, all those penalties that are held in suspension are forgiven.” Patrick had one final piece of advice for taxpayers who may be falling behind and need some answers. One option for current taxpayers that is new this year is
the ability to make payments with a credit or debit card by telephone or via the internet through a third party. “This is something brand new that we hope will give another option to those who want to spread their payments out over time”, Patrick said. The website for the program is www.officialpayments.com. Taxpayers will need to know the Jurisdiction Code for Brown County which is 4507. The minimum fee for the service is $3.95, and that fee rises with the amount of money handled through the company. Patrick said that taxpayers have questions or problems, they might want to consider contacting her office sooner rather than later. “Don’t wait until the last day or the last week. We will have lots of people in here and it might turn into something more time consuming than it would normally be because of all the extra activity going on.” Patrick had one final piece of advice for taxpayers who may be falling behind and need some answers. “Call us. We’re trying to help everyone as best we can during tough economic times. We try our best to work with everybody as long as they are making an effort. Just because you’re late, it doesn’t mean you have to pay the whole thing at once. We have options available.”
the right fit with Tom,” said board president Ralph Sininger. Board member Jeff Donohoo said the board felt fortunate to find someone like Durbin since he has previous superintendent experience and is very familiar with not only the school district but also the Georgetown area. “We know we have Tom’s support in making some tough decisions,” Sininger added. Durbin has been in and out of school systems since 1979 in some manner or another. Other than spending a few years managing a 1,500 acre farm, he has worked with Dark County schools, Chillicothe, Georgetown schools for 9 years from 1984 until 1993, Williamsburg schools and New Richmond Schools for five years. “I actually retired in September last year,” Durbin said, “my plan was to work as an interim superintendent for a few years. “I worked at Western Brown as interim superintendent and worked very hard studying the system looking for ways to make it the best school it could be. I wanted to help prepare the new superintendent for his job.”
AAA7 receives designation for Aging and Disability Resource Network Older adults and those with disabilities do not have to look very far when searching for help and assistance with longterm care options and resources; the Area Agency on Aging District 7, Inc. (AAA7) has been providing this helpful service to those in our district since 1972. Now, there is great news for the district as this helpful service has experienced an enhancement through a designation the AAA7 received from the Ohio Department of Aging (ODA). The designation as a fullyfunctioning Aging and Disability Resource Network, also known as an ADRN, means that the AAA7 will serve as a referral point for consumers, providing them with a comprehensive directory for a variety of services offered to residents in the AAA7’s 10-county district which includes Ohio counties Adams, Brown, Gallia, Highland, Jackson, Lawrence, Pike, Ross, Scioto and Vinton. Through this designation, older adults and those with disabilities will experience an even greater level of resources through a number of community partners and collaborations organized by the AAA7. Through the AAA7’s Resource Network, callers can be offered a no-cost, in-home consultation from a certified Agency nurse or social worker to discuss long-term care alternatives and planning. Staff works with individuals and their families on options, resources and information regarding community and home-based long-term care. Regional collaborations and partnerships with a number of groups who support services and programs through the AAA7 are also an important feature of the ADRN. Through these partnerships, callers and consumers are provided with a number of options that best support their needs. To contact the AAA7’s Aging and Disability Resource Center, simply call the Agency toll-free at 1-800-582-7277 (TTY 1-888-270-1550) and

Proceeds will go to the family of Knights member Joe Dahlheimer, of Georgetown, to help defray medical expenses.

five years.” Treasurer Eric Toole informed the board about funds from the estate of Ferne Laycock that would be coming to the school in the near future. “These funds are to be used to set up scholarships for Georgetown Exempted School District,” Toole said. “We don’t have all the details yet and we don’t know exactly when they will be here, but it is my understanding it could amount to over $1 million.” At the recommendation of Durbin the board adopted a resolution approving, in collaboration with the Jefferson County Educational Service
Center, participation in the Jefferson County ESC Virtual Learning Academy. The Virtual Learning Academy is an on-line program designed for grades 2-12 providing alternative educational options for credit deficiencies, alternative programs, home schooled students and summer school programs. Following an executive session the board hired several certified employees, and signed supplemental contracts for the 2011-2012 school year. The board also implemented a retire/rehire for Georgetown Jr./ Sr. High School Principal Perianne Germann for one year.

Durbin said the Georgetown School Board had actually narrowed the candidates for superintendent down to four and had completed interviews. “I received a call from the board while they were in executive session and they offered me the position,” Durbin said. “I am always looking for areas that need improvement in the system.

However upon checking his records he was unable to find another report. If there had been a previous complaint on a vicious dog bite he could have seized the dog right then, but because there was never a written complaint filed, he couldn’t do anything.” Mayor Veronica Gelter stated that the way she saw it, two people didn’t do their job. Neu added that that location of the dog was also a school bus stop and something needed to be done about

the dog, described as a boxer. Council decided to send a vicious dog letter would be sent to the owners of the dog and that they would have to provide the village with liability insurance information. “If I don’t do my job,” said Neu, “I’m going to get reprimanded, and I believe that Bill needs to be reprimanded for not following through on this.” Chief Collett was on vacation and unavailable for comment. No one at the meeting wanted to see the dog euthanized, just constrained from biting again. Following the dog bite discussion Neu told council that she was hoping council would proceed with completing the EMS section of the new building under construction. She said she had some ideas on how the section should be designed. Mayor Gelter said the matter should be turned over to an architectural firm so that plans could be completed to pass inspection and the village could then advertise for bids and hopefully obtain grants and/or loans. Council had also previously sent letters to several EMS employees to return a radio and funds paid for them to

take special classes but then they failed to take the test thus owed the funds back to the village. During the mayor’s report Gelter stated that she had attended a meeting with the Brown County Commissioners, the sewer committee, herself and fiscal officer Debbie Parker regarding a recent newspaper article, and a meter located at Eastern Brown High School. “The commissioners said that a recent article should have referred to the Brown County Sewer District mandating hooking on to the sewer system instead of Russellville,” Gelter said. “But, we put all kinds of questions to them like, have they considered the capacity? have they considered the lines? They’re supposed to be investigating all this. “They informed us that even though the line was put in between Russellville and the high school, and the high school paid for it and gave it to the village, that we have to get permission from them to hook anybody on to that line because it runs outside our corporation. So from now on anytime we want to hook someone on we’ll have to get a letter from Todd Cluxton, (county engineer). It doesn’t seem right to me, but that’s the rules, I guess, when the lines are outside the corporation.” Councilman Dick Newman said he thought that was a mistake because they (the high school) had put the lines in and then gave it to Russellville. Mayor Gelter added that according to the commissioners and the Brown County Sewer District, the village will still maintain it and still get all the revenue off of it, but she feared that they could come back and say we don’t get the revenue off of it. According to Gelter, all parties at the meeting with the commissioners agreed that a meter needed to be installed at the high school to determine the amount of flow from the Brown County Sewer District and then if there was a problem, it could be addressed by the Brown County Sewer District.
The commissioners and engineer agreed that the meter could be installed no later than September 30, 2011 or by the beginning of the Brown County Fair. Commissioner Ralph Jennings said replacing the meter at the high school is a major ordeal. “This isn’t just a quick fix,” Jennings said. “They’ll have to bring in some heavy equipment to get the job done. But we will be either repairing it or replacing that meter.” Following a short executive session council voted to bring back Cammeron Ammerman and Jon Clark, (police officers who had been laid off in March) to work eight hours a week each for the village. The two officers will work with the mayor in regard to their scheduling and duties. Also, in executive session council chose to deny payment of $212.90 for history education cd’s ordered by the police department. The chief will be instructed to return the tapes, since the tapes can be ordered through the village insurance company at no cost.

Ripley’s Carpenter and Grisha compliment one another on the field and off By Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press Spend a few minutes around Kelsey Carpenter and Sadie Grisham and it quickly becomes apparent that while these two are close they have very different personalities. Though both are talkative, Carpenter is a bit more engaging and outgoing while Grisham is much more laid back and a little reserved. Yet these differences haven’t put any strain on their relationship. In fact, it may have brought them closer. Watch them interact with one another for just a few minutes and you can tell that their differences in personality have meshed together quite well. “We kind of even each other out,” Carpenter said of how their conflicting personalities help compliment one another on and off the field of play. “We’ve been together so long that we know each other like that back of our hands,” Grisham added. That relationship, which has become stronger since they met one another in preschool, came together on the field and court this past season to the benefit of several Ripley Lady Blue Jays teams. On and off the field and court, Carpenter and Grisham both excel. Each of their individual accomplishments on their own merit were quite impressive but what they were able
to do together seemed nearly as profound to them. Their combined drive, and complementing personalities, led the Lady Blue Jays basketball team to an unexpectedly successful campaign this past season and helped lead the Lady Blue Jays soccer team to some big wins. As the only two seniors on the Lady Blue Jays basketball team, Carpenter and Grisham were able to lead a young team not expected to do much to a very successful 16-6 season and to second place in the Southern Hills League (SHL). That success was a sense of pride for both Grisham and Carpenter. “I felt like it was all on us,” Grisham said. “The sophomores, they helped, but we had to be consistent.” And consistent they were. The duo led a team that primarily relied on sophomores occupying the remainder of its six girl rotation. Carpenter led the team in scoring while Grisham was second in scoring and led the team in rebounding while averaging a double-double. “Without those two we don’t have the season that we had,” Ripley girls basketball coach Chris Coleman said. Just like their personalities off the field, Carpenter and Grisham were opposites on the hardwood. Carpenter admittedly was more of an offensive-minded player while Grisham was admittedly more of a defensive-minded player. However,

Coleman said that they were both excellent defenders and solid scorers. Yet he said their biggest contribution to the team was without a doubt their leadership. “They brought the whole team together,” Coleman said. “Like I said, I only played six girls but even the seventh girl through the twelfth, they were all one big group. There weren’t any individuals.” For their individual efforts on the court, Carpenter and Grisham were both honored with All-SHL team selections in basketball. Those were, however, hardly the only accomplishments for the duo. Each were selected for honors this past year for their play that had, in each occasion, happened only once before in school history. Carpenter was named AllSHL in four different sports. She was honored in soccer, volleyball, basketball and softball. What made that feat more difficult was that she was honored with All-League honors while playing volleyball and soccer at the same time. She played both all four years of high school. Since soccer and volleyball are her favorite two sports, she wasn’t able to give either up. “Everybody always said ‘You need to pick one’ or ‘You need to focus on one’ or ‘Why don’t you pick one, it would be easier,” Carpenter said. “I couldn’t give them up. Amanda (Hauck, Ripley girls soccer coach) always asked me which one would I pick and that’s the hardest question anybody’s ever asked me because I don’t know. I could never pick between the two. I love them both that much.” What makes Carpenter’s accomplishments even more astonishing is that she maintained, and graduated with, a 4.0 grade point average. She was one of four valedictorians. Trying to balance a dedicated commitment to both maintaining high academic excellence and a quality level of performance on her multiple fields of play was at times dif-
ficult. “It was tough,” Carpenter said. “I was on the go nonstop. I was practicing (and) not (getting) a lot of sleep because I had to come home to do homework. I had to keep up my grades.” Grisham, meanwhile, is no slouch herself. She, too, accomplished something only one other female student-athlete had ever accomplished at Ripley. Following this years soccer season, she was named AllSHL for the fourth straight year in the sport. And she was nearly as good of a student as Carpenter, too. “They’re good students,” Coleman said. “(They’re) really popular in school. Kelsey was valedictorian. Sadie had over a 3.5 (GPA), I think. They’re just all around student-athletes.” Though they weren’t as successful as they were on the basketball court, it seems that both have quite the passion for soccer. Carpenter and Grisham helped lead a Lady Blue Jays team that finished just 7-8-2 on the season but went 4-3 in SHL play. While there were some disappointments, including losing to league rival Eastern despite playing well, the duo helped Ripley get past newly minted rival Reading in the sectional. During the team’s regular season game at Ripley, Reading had acted a bit cocky and the Lady Blue Jays felt like they had been disrespected on their home field. So beating Reading, a team they lost to last year and tied during the regular season meeting, in the tourney was the highlight of their soccer season. A big reason the Lady Blue Jays won that game was because of not only how well Carpenter, Grisham and fellow seniors Kelsey Eitel, Lauren Bachman, Eliese Kendrick, Jamie McCray and Katlyn Germann played but also how they approached that game. “Before the game the seniors talked to the team,” Hauck said. “Sadie and Kelsey were adamant that this is our game.

From that first whistle to the last we were ripping shots left and right. There towards the end I pulled the two of them out because I didn’t want them getting hurt because I knew we needed them for the next game.” And both backed up their talk on the field when both scored goals in the first half, one right after the other, to lead the team to a 3-0 win.
Much like their on court personalities in basketball, Carpenter and Grisham were complimenting yet opposing players on the pitch. Grisham was a physical player who mostly played defense but also played enough offense to be the team’s leading goal scorer while CONTINUED ON PAGE 14

Two Eastern softball players WB’s Rhodes helps team to victory selected for Underclass Tourney in East-West All-Star football game
B R O A D S H E E T
Two Eastern softball players were recently honored for their play when they were selected to play in the Southeastern All-District game and then picked to participate in the upcoming Underclass Tournament following the team’s run to the Southeast District final last month. Lady Warriors pitcher Maria Johnson and catcher/first baseman Shelby Mullins, who both recently finished their sophomore year, were selected to participate in both events. Johnson was selected second team All-Southeast District for her play on the diamond this spring while Mullins was selected honorable mention All-Southeast District. Both players took part in the Southeast All-District game that took place June 5 in Portsmouth. The game is a reward for being selected AllDistrict. Though more a fun, loose atmosphere rather than a tense regular season game, both players performed well. However, earlier in the day the duo performed even better when they tried out for the Southeast District Underclass Tournament team. The Underclass Tournament takes place every year and is, essentially, a showcase of the younger softball talent in the state of Ohio. Each of the state’s six districts--Southwest, Southeast, Northwest, Northeast, East and Central--are represented by 20 of its best players in the tournament.
The players are selected during a tryout before a panel of coaches. East school in the district can send up to four girls to tryout. Eastern’s only two representatives, Johnson and Mullins, were each selected to represent the Southeast in the tournament. Johnson is one of the three pitchers selected to the team. It is her second year making the team. Mullins, although a catcher during the season for the Lady Warriors, was selected at her more natural position of first base. She was one of two first baseman selected for the team. Eastern coach Dennis Forsythe said Mullins was “really excited” about making the team. The tryouts are divided into two different groups. First, pitchers and catchers
go before the panel of coaches. These two positions are graded on only how they perform on the mound and behind the plate, respectively. Position players, meanwhile, are graded on how they field their position and how they perform at the plate. Forsythe said the tournament can be a benefit for both in the future if they want to continue to play softball. “It’s good for them if they want to go have a college career,” he said. “It showcases the best players in each district.” The Underclass Tournament will take place Monday and Tuesday, June 20-21 at Pickerington Central High School. Each team will play three games on Monday and two more on Tuesday so each district can play one another.

Rhodes, a senior on last season’s Bronco football team, played two drives in the first half of the game before leaving with a shoulder injury. He tried to finish out the first half but wasn’t able to return and came out from halftime without his shoulder pads and helmet. Western Brown football coach Evan Dreyer said that Rhodes hurt his shoulder during a practice for the game and tried to play through the injury. While he was in the game, Rhodes helped the East team take the lead from the West on his second drive of the evening. Lining up entirely at tight end on the series, Rhodes

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 13 Carpenter was more a finesse, offensive minded player. “Sadie was that type of player that if you could clone her (you would) so you could have her on offense and defense,” Hauck said. She added, while chuckling, “Kelsey did not like defense. Period, end of story.” During the games, Grisham was the type of player to take charge of the team and lead. She had no qualms with telling other players what they needed to do. Carpenter was more of a lead by example type of player. “Kelsey was the captain that led by showing and doing,” Hauck said. “Sadie led by showing and doing but also by telling people ‘This is what we’ve got to do’. She was more of a voice.” Though they didn’t have quite the year they hoped for in soccer, both Carpenter and Grisham will be continuing their athletic careers in the sport in college. Not surprisingly, they will be doing it together. They have both signed to play soccer for the College of

Not only will they know someone who they are going to college with, they will be living with each other too. “We’re both kind of messy, so we’ll see how that goes,” Carpenter said with a chuckle. So not only will their playing careers continue together, their friendship will get that opportunity as well. And when you watch Carpenter and Grisham together, there is no doubt that friendship runs deep off the field. Fortunately for the College of Mount St. Joseph women's soccer team, it seems to run just as smoothly on it.

Grisham initially began looking into playing soccer at Mount St. Joseph while Carpenter was looking into soccer and volleyball at a few different schools before she decided to play soccer at the school. They were helped guided in the decision by Hauck, who played soccer at Mount St. Joseph and knew the school’s coach. Even though they weren’t looking to go to school together, the situation played itself out nicely.

helped spring Fulcher for a few extra yards. He only went out for a few passes while he played and no ball was thrown his way. The first series he played ended when the East turned the ball over after failing to get a first down. Even as he wasn’t able to play, Rhodes still was on the sideline in the second half to cheer on his East teammates in what turned out to be quite the wild game. The West got on the board first but the East scored 14 unanswered points to take a 14-6 lead in the locker room at the half. Once the rust was shaken off from not playing football for quite some time, the teams started to put on quite the aerial display. Fireworks started immediately after the teams got back onto the field in the third quarter. Each team started to let it loose in the quarter as 36 combined points were scored. By the time the scoreboard finally had a chance to relax at the end of the third, it was a 28 all game. The West took back the lead after recovering a blocked punt in the end zone but Rhodes’ East squad bounced back to score a touchdown and get a twopoint conversion to take the lead back for good.

The Western Brown High School athletics program captured its ninth straight Southern Buckeye Conference (SBC) American Division All-Sports title as they accumulated 72 total points. Amelia placed second with 63.5 points followed by Bethel (62.5), New Richmond (61.5), Clermont Northeastern (43.5) and Goshen (34). Since the SBC began the All-Sports competition during the 2000-01 season, the Broncos have won every title except for the first. The first title went to New Richmond. Western won league titles in girls volleyball, girls cross country, girls basketball and boys track. They finished as league runner-up in football, boys golf, girls soccer, girls tennis and girls track. Points are accumulated during each season depending on what place schools finish in each sport and are totaled after each season.

Fayetteville girls b’ball clinic held The 23rd annual Fayetteville Girls Basketball Clinic was held May 24-26 at Fayetteville Elementary School.Twenty girls attended the camp from grades onethree. The camp was staffed by Fayetteville High School girls basketball coach Toby Sheets, Fayetteville girls basketball varsity assistant and junior
varsity coach Russ Ward, former Fayetteville player and current Capital University basketball player Shelby Sheets and Fayetteville sophomore basketball player Sydney Sheets. No doubt this group is very focused to learn the proper techniques of basketball skills. Most all are either children
from former Fayetteville athletes or children of former Lady Rockets. We are really blessed in this community to have so many students that went to school here that live here as working adults and send their children to school here. The Fayetteville community is alive and thriving with future Lady Rockets.

The Ohio Governor’s Residence, located in Bexley, is also the location of the Ohio Heritage Garden. This garden captures the essence of Ohio by showcasing the unique areas of the state, which range from the sand dunes of Lake Erie to the rugged terrain of the Appalachian region, as well as types of habitats common to all of Ohio, such as woodlands and meadows. Directly behind the residence is the formal Prairie Garden. The Prairie Garden represents scattered areas in the western half of the state known as the Central Lowland Till Planes. These prairies are treeless, arid grasslands, and the plants that grow in these areas are quite hardy, having roots that grow ten to twelve feet deep. River run gravel was put down in the L-shaped beds to replicate this growing region, and bed plants are organized in mirror-image fashion. Contributions of Ohio botanists are also recognized in the Prairie Garden. Sullivant’s milkweed, named for William Starling Sullivant, the son of Lucas Sullivant, founder of Franklinton (now Columbus) and a noted botanist, blooms in the early summer. Lucy Braun’s prairie dock blooms later in the summer. Riddell’s goldenrod, which blooms from late summer to early fall, commemorates the work of John Leonard Riddell, who taught at the Cincinnati Medical College. The book, ‘Our First Family’s Home’, is full of interesting facts about the Ohio Governor’s Residence and Heritage Garden. Guy Denny, retired chief of the Division of Natural Areas and Preserves of the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, has been an important part of the team that was instrumental in developing the vision for the Heritage Garden. I was excited to find an article about Guy’s prairie at his home in Fredericktown, in the Summer 2011 issue of Country Gardens. Indiangrass and big bluestem join clusters of purple coneflower, yellow coreopsis, red royal catchfly, and 140 other prairie species. The beautiful
photos included in the article written by Teresa Woodard were taken by Ian Adams. The article also includes a list of prairie plants that can become thugs when unleashed in the home landscape. The Ohio Department of Natural Resources suggests using the following plants with caution: Purple coneflower (Echinacea purpurea), Royal catchfly (Silene regia), Rattlesnake-master (Eryngium yuccifolium), Shooting stars (Dodecatheon meadia), Ohio spiderwort (Tradescantia ohiensis), Wild hyacinth (Camassia scilloides), New England aster (Symphyotrichum novae-angliae), Stiff goldenrod (Solidago rigida), Wild bee balm (Monarda fistulosa), Sundrops (Oenothera friticosa), Blackeyed Susan (Rudbeckia hirta), and Rough gayfeather (Liatris aspera). One of my favorite prairie plants is Compass plant (Silphium laciniatum). The leaves grow straight up and are oriented north and south to conserve water by receiving the least amount of sunlight. Settlers moving through the area would look for the bright yellow flowers on the 5-6 feet tall plant to help determine direction due to the north/south orientation. I have this plant carefully marked in my landscape. My husband keeps asking me if I’m sure that plant isn’t really a thistle! I’m sure there have been moments where the string trimmer paused in front my prized Compass plant before traveling on to trim other “weeds”. Every second and fourth Wednesday of each summer month a group of volunteers help to weed, plant and work on other maintenance in the Heritage Garden. We call ourselves the “Governor’s Gardeners” and enjoy working together in the different parts of the Heritage garden and learning about all the different plants and trees. Tours of the Ohio Governor’s Residence and the Heritage Garden are conducted on Tuesdays. If you have a group interested in a tour, call 614644-7644 Extension 1. Don’t forget to e-mail your gardening questions to Mike Hannah at mhannah2@msn.com.
2011 spring turkey season was a bit tough The 2011 spring turkey season was a tough one for hunters. It came with wind and cold and rain and more rain, and when it did get warmer you got eaten by bugs. They also had to learn a new system on how to get a license and tag and check in the turkey they harvested. With a poor hatch in 2009 the ODNR did expect to see a 10 percent decline in this years spring turkey harvest, but with the wet season we had a lower than expected harvest was reported for this season. The number that the ODNR reported for the four week 2011 season was 18,485, this was down from the total number in 2010 that was 23,421. After you do the math this was a 21 percent decrease, but you need to remember that the 2010 season was the second highest reported in Ohio. On opening day hunters reported 2,646 birds on that day. The county that reported the highest number was Ashtabula with 712. Brown county hunters reported 435 this number is a lot lower than the total numbers of birds reported in 2010 season that was 615. If you would like to see all the numbers reported in Ohio’s counties, go to www.wildohio.com.
Jeff Kress The ODNR has reported that the new checking system did work the way they hoped it would. But a few changes have been suggested for the fall season. Hunters had three choices to check in a turkey, the choices were by phone, on the internet or by going to a license agent that was a checking station. The ODNR reported that all three were used with the phone in method being the one used most of all at 44 percent and the internet and agent locations both being at 28 percent. Now just because the harvest number was down don’t think we haven’t any turkeys. The wildlife biologists in Ohio estimated the turkey population in the state to be over 200,000 at the start of spring season. As of date we have turkey in all 88 counties in Ohio, and with good management by the ODNR and good hunting ethics by Ohio hunters we will continue to have very good turkey hunting in Ohio.

Pregnant with a pet? No problem
We have five pregnant woman working now at All Creatures (can you guess who?) Since giving up their pets is not an option, we have some recommendations to avoid potential transmission of disease from your pets to you or your unborn child. Without a doubt, having pets is highly beneficial to the quality of our lives. You can easily avoid possible dangerous exposures from pets while being pregnant. Besides, pet owners are known to have lower blood pressure, less stress and better overall cardiovascular health than people in similar circumstances without pets. However, if you are pregnant and have companion animals, you should take some precautions to avoid potentially dangerous exposures: 1. Wash your hands frequently. This will help limit exposure to fleas, bacteria, irritant oils from poison oak and ivy, and infectious fungus like ringworm (all can be carried on your pet’s fur). To limit their exposure, consider keeping your dogs and cats out of wooded areas while you are pregnant. 2. Apply flea and heartworm prevention monthly. Monthly prevention is by far the easiest and best way to keep your home parasite free. Both cats and dogs can carry intestinal parasites prevented by monthly preventatives like Heartguard, frontline, Advantage Multi, and Revolution (cats). Not only will you be protecting your pet, but you will be protecting your family and newborn. 3. Keep ticks off your pets. Ticks Carry more than Lyme Disease. In fact, the most common tick-borne disease in our county. In fact Clermont County has the highest number of cases in Ohio of this disease. Have you guessed it yet? I am writing about Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever (RMSF). RMSF is carried by the American Dog Tick, and infections are very common in Clermont County’s tick season, between May 1 and July 31. The tick will attach to pets or people and some will infect them with the RMSF microorganism. While outdoors make frequent inspections for ticks around the ears, armpits, and groin on yourself, all pets, and children. • Use tweezers and hemostats when removing ticks, and wash-up after doing so. • Apply a good quality flea and tick topical or collar to your pet on a regular basis and prior to hikes in high grass. • Avoid high grassy area

for your pet and yourself. • Cut your dog’s yard on a regular basis 4. Avoid being scratched by your cat. Cat scratch fever is a disease caused by a bacteria called Bartonella, It can cause swollen lymph nodes, joint pain and fever in people. Cats can be tested at All Creatures to determine if they are carriers of Bartonella. 5. Toxoplasmosis, a protozoan parasite found in soil and occasionally in cats feces, can be contracted through cleaning cat feces from an infected cats litter pan. Developing fetuses are especially at risk for severe disease; infection may result in miscarriage or stillbirth. Toxoplasmosis is located in the intestinal tract and sheds eggs which may pass in the stools. Publicity about this disease increased a few years ago because of the possibility of it being shed in the feces (stools) of the cat. The disease may cause congenital deformities in human infants if a woman is infected after conception. Toxoplasmosis is transmitted by fecal contamination, transmitted before birth, or by eating uncooked, infected meat,
such as by the ingestion of small animals, cockroaches, or birds infected with the disease. The eggs take one to five days to hatch after being produced by the adult stage of the organism. Toxoplasmosis PREVENTIVE MEASURES: • Prevent your pet’s access to birds and rodents. • Feed only cooked or processed meats and other foods. • Empty the litter box daily. Pregnant women should not handle cat litter boxes, even though there is nothing to worry about as long as the litter box is emptied daily! • Wash your hands after handling the litter box. Have your pets checked for parasites such as hookworm and intestinal roundworms – these can be passed from animals to humans through animal feces. 6. Check your pet for parasites. Cat and Dog Intestinal Worms can be transmitted to people. At All creatures we recommend having your pets checked for parasites with a stool sample twice annually. Common parasites such as intestinal hookworm and roundworms can be passed from animals to humans through feces.

Former students holds appreciation picnic Fifty years ago JoAnn Dumford Bright was the unforgettably beloved second grade teacher at Mt. Orab Elementary to some of Western Brown High School’s graduates of 1972. On June 11, an appreciate group of her former students gathered to honor their favorite teacher with a reunion and picnic at the shelter behind the Mt.
Orab police station. The afternoon was spent looking through photograph albums and reminiscing. Following the presentation of a beautiful flower arrangement and cake, her ‘children’ praised her teaching skills as well as her loving nature that had a life-long effect on each of them. ‘Miss Dumford’ was advised
that her students give her credit for their many achievements. This special teacher made a speech of her own, thanking her former students for being ‘her best class ever’ and told them how proud she is of all of them. It was a rewarding day for ‘Miss Dumford’, her second grade class and all the others that attended.

songs and told stories around the campfire at night. Scouts played team sports in flag football, softball, and kickball. They participated in a bicycle rodeo. The scouts made a craft for their walking sticks and then used their walking sticks to hike to a waterfall. They also learned how to use a map and compass and about geology. The following scouts attended: Jeremy Ackley, Clayton Caldwell, Mason Caldwell, Logan Creighton, Connor Everson, Lowell Gilliam, Cody Graves, Dalton Jenkins, Blake Jones, Gavin Maness, Hunter McMullen, Chandler Patrick, Travis Perkins, Mark Smith, Matthew Smith, Austin Thompson, Dylan Thompson, Mackenzie Thorne, and Kristofer Young.

SSCC Theatre will host open auditions for the upcoming production “The Little Prince” at 6:30 p.m. Friday, June 24, in the Edward K. Daniels Auditorium on Southern State Community College’s Central Campus, 100 Hobart Drive, Hillsboro. “The Little Prince” will be directed by Rainee Angles and performed August 5-7, 2011, in the Edward K. Daniels Auditorium. Auditions are open to both students and to the general public. Please visit www.sscctheatre.com/auditions for more information, including tips on preparing for an audition. “The Little Prince” tells the story of a world-weary and disenchanted aviator whose sputtering airplane strands him in the Sahara Desert. A mysterious little prince appears and asks him to “Please sir, draw me a sheep.” During their two weeks together in the desert, the little prince tells the aviator about his adventures through the galaxy, talking to everyone he meets. From those he meets, the little prince gains a unique insight which he shares with the aviator: “It is only with the heart that one can see rightly.” At length, both the little prince and the aviator must go home, each with a new understanding of how to laugh, cry and love again. Those planning to audition for a lead role should prepare a
one- to two-minute monologue, which does not have to be from “The Little Prince,” however, examples are posted on the website. Those auditioning for supporting roles can also prepare a monologue, but it is not required. Characters include: Aviator (lead role, a grown-up, a lonely pilot who befriends the Little Prince); Little Prince (lead role, symbolizes the inner child in all of us, perplexed by the behavior of adults); Rose (a vain, naïve, coquettish flower, loves the prince, but has trouble showing it); King (likes to give orders, claims to own the entire universe); Conceited Man (lonely, craves admiration, cannot hear anything that is not a compliment); Lamplighter (selfless devotion to following orders, lights and extinguishes the lamp); Geographer (spends all his time making maps, yet refuses to go out and explore); Snake (seductive, confident, speaks in riddles); Desert Flower (lives alone in the desert); Fox (helps steer the prince toward what is important in life); Sketch Artist (behind the scenes, draws illustrations); and Stage Ensemble (6-11 actors, will portray stars, roses, trees, etc.) For more information about the theater program at Southern State, please call 1800-628-7722, ext. 2794, email rangles@sscc.edu, or visit www.sscc.edu.
