Tornado destroys barns near Russellville BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press A tornado packing 90 mile per hour winds touched down between Georgetown and Russellville the evening of June 27. Four barns on the farm of Wade and Margery Paeltz were destroyed, but there were no injuries. The National Weather Service office in Wilmington said the tornado touched down

at 7:54 p.m. and stayed on the ground for 1.6 miles before lifting back up. In their report, the weather service said “The tornado initially touched down north of the intersection of U.S. Highway 68 and State Route 125. The tornado moved east through several wooded areas, snapping and uprooting numerous trees.” The report continued “The tornado crossed State Route 125 near Township Highway

15 where it demolished four small barns. The tornado then lifted just before crossing Conn Road.” The report then goes into detail about what led investigators to determine that the destruction was caused by a tornado. “The damage was clearly tornadic in nature...this was shown in the tree damage near the beginning of the path. At the location where the four CONTINUED ON PAGE 6

New sentencing rules to mean fewer going to prison BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press New sentencing guidelines have been signed into law in Ohio. The reforms passed the Ohio House by a vote of 96-2 and the Ohio Senate by 30-3. According to a press release from Ohio Governor John Kasich, “The new law aims to reduce crime by diverting first-time, non-violent offenders to intensive rehabilitative programming in a community setting, away from the corruptive influence of career criminals within the

state’s prison system. The law seeks to reduce incidents of prison violence, reduce overcrowding and prepare inmates for productive societal reentry.” The new law: • Diverts first time, nonviolent offenders to community-based sanctions with appropriate rehabilitate programming; • Equalizes penalties for crack and powder cocaine; • Allows inmates to qualify for an eight percent term reduction based on successful completion of educational,

vocational and mental health programming. This provision only applies to inmates who enter prison after the law is enacted with all sex offenders excluded. • Increases felony status for theft related crimes from $500 to $1,000; • Permits the Department of Rehabilitation and Corrections to petition for judicial release of inmates who have served 80 percent of their sentence, successfully completed rehabilitative programming and have no inciCONTINUED ON PAGE 11

Following a lengthy executive session, the board voted to eliminate one Vocational Agriculture teacher position and one business teacher’s position. No specific names were discussed.

Tuesday, June 28. As he watched firefighters dealing with the fire, Police Chief William Collett said “I’m very angry about this and we are going to do everything we can to catch whoever is doing this.” Collett said that investigators from the state fire marshall’s office had been looking into the situation since the first fire was reported. Tuesday’s fire appeared to be set around the front of the two story house at 320 N. Columbus street. The house had been renovated and turned into three apartments. Two of the apartments sustained heavy fire and water damage. One resident expressed anger and frustration at the situation as she watched burned belongings being removed from her apartment by firefighters. She declined to give her name. Collett said a previous fire had been set by a back door to the structure just two days before.

Burglary suspect apprehended by Sheriff’s office in Aberdeen

A trooper from the Georgetown Post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol was honored today for his selfless actions to rescue a motorist stranded in high water. Tpr. Kyle D. Chamblin was presented with a Certificate of Recognition today at the Georgetown Post, by Captain Paul Hermes, Wilmington District Commander, for his efforts to rescue a woman trapped in her vehicle in rapidly rising water. On May 3, 2011, Tpr. Chamblin was en route to his residence in a patrol car after completing his shift when he received a report of high water on Russellville Winchester Road. Tpr. Chamblin responded to the scene and found a stalled vehicle in the water on the roadway. The female driver was standing on the window seal of the vehicle as the rapid-

ly rising water was already at the vehicle’s door. Tpr. Chamblin grabbed his rescue rope and secured it to a tree along the embankment, removed his gun belt, and waded into waist-high water to retrieve the victim. He successfully reached the woman and carried her to an embankment out of the water. Soon after, the force of the water carried the vehicle off of the roadway and pushed it against a guardrail. The victim was distraught, but relieved and thankful for Tpr. Chamblin’s effort. Tpr. Chamblin joined the Patrol in May 2009 as member of the 149h Academy Class. He received his commission in December of that year and was assigned to the Georgetown Post. Tpr. Chamblin currently resides in West Union.

Sheriff Wenninger would like to remind citizens that your best defense against crime is an attentive neighbor or fellow citizen. If you see something out of place, or strange/suspicious activity, make a call....the next time it may be your home.

Fayetteville parent wants more play for pay HOUSE FOR RENT commitments. The Transformation Team has already submitted an initial Scope of Work to the Ohio Department of Education which isn’t due until October 22, 2011. The board approved the creation of a new 300 account for the $3,000 donation from Ellen Molitor to start a track and field team at Fayetteville-Perry School District. Board member Angela Murphy asked if any progress had been made in investigating any possible plans to start a track and field program. There was no response from any of the board members. “I think we should really get on that and see what can be worked out,” Murphy said. All board members agreed. A contract with Balestra, Harr and Sherer, CPA, Inc. was approved to run from July 1, to June 30, 2013 to handle the district’s annual audits. Hiring the firm will save the district approximately $9,000 per audit. During current Superintendent Roy Hill’s legislative report, he discussed three major issues. “First on SB5,” Hill began, “Thursday is the final date for the petitions to be signed, to repeal SB5. The last count on signatures that I heard was 700,000 plus, which is well over the 231,000 they needed to put the issue on the ballot. “Also, the state budget has been passed by the Senate. However, the Senate and the House budget were different and the House did not accept the Senate’s version of the bill.” Hill said that that meant it

would now go the the conference committee, which is where it is now, to have all the kinks worked out. “Hopefully they will all work together and come up with a compromise,” he said. “The bill should be done by the end of the month and ready for the first of July.” Hill also told the board about some major changes being made within the state board of education. The board accepted a bid for new bleachers and a press box for $86,150 which will be directly paid for with bond issue revenue and not the general fund. The contract for construction went to Sturdisteel. The new bleachers will seat 300. The board took the following actions: • accepted the resignation of Cory Hanes as high school social studies teacher; • employed a part-time exempt secretarial worker, Virginia Quallen who will continue to do EMIS the other part of her time; • accept retirement of Greg Barlow elementary school principal for the purpose of retire/rehire in the same position; • accept retire/rehire Cynthia St. Clair, band/music teacher, per terms of a Memorandum of Understanding with the teachers union; • approve the elementary fee schedule for the 2011-2012 school year; • set a special meeting July 14, 2011 regarding retire/rehire hearing on Barlow and St. Clair.

Mt. Orab church members build cardboard box city By Martha Jacob The Brown County Press Each year young people from the Mt.

The issue of “pay-to-play’ came under fire at the Fayetteville-Perry Local School District Board of Education meeting, June 27, after being questioned by Fayetteville resident Amy Elmore. Elmore has been actively involved in the varsity and junior-varsity baseball teams which just recently finished their season. Elmore read a letter aloud to members of the board in regard to the number of games participants in the program actually took part in. “The weather was very unkind to the baseball season,” she began, “ The junior varsity schedule of 18 games/scrimmages ended on “paper” as a 35 season. One of the 8 games was a double-header at Paint Valley where the varsity game ran over, so the junior varsity scrimmaged for less than two innings and then time was up.” Elmore went on to add that another game that went on the books as junior varsity game was on April 30 against New Richmond. “It is to my understanding there was a mis-communication problem and only the varsity team was to play upon arrival,” she added. “Coach Carlier allowed one junior varsity player a turn at bat while the others saw no field time at all. Then on May 5 and 6, the FFA Convention was taking place and two games got rescheduled at the time forcing the FFA members to choose between their game or conven-

tion. Varsity players stepped in to fill the missing spots.” Elmore said it was very disappointing to the players that, after months of practice, baseball felt like an indoor sport with no games, no tournaments and if you played less than two innings it was considered a game. Elmore reminded the board that each of the junior varsity players had paid their $125 payto-play dues but only got to play half the games they were supposed to. She asked that the players be credited a portion of the money paid. The board thanked Elmore for bringing the matter to their attention and later discussed the issue during executive session. They told Elmore that they would get back to her. However, according to Superintendent-elect Raegan White, the district does not actually have a pay-to-play program, it charges an activities fee which is used to cover all expenses including payment of the coaches. “We plan on taking a serious look at exactly how many games were played by these boys,” White said, “then we will go from there and respond to Ms. Elmore’s request.” The board also met in executive session with several parents in regards to concerns over a teachers actions. In other business at the meeting the board heard an update on the progress with the ‘Race to the Top’ program which has now established a Transformation Team to help with monitoring the program

The SOSOA will be offering training class for new officials starting at 7:00 July 12, 2011 at Trinity Christian Fellowship, 3730 Cobb Rd. in Williamsburg

The cost of the class is $110 which includes books, handouts, and OHSAA dues.

The fight for America

B R O A D S H E E T E v E n

Buzzed driving IS drunk driving-plan ahead for July 4 July 4th celebrations often include cook-outs, picnics, boating, time spent with family and friends and, of course, fireworks—this is the good news. But the bad news? For too many families, this holiday weekend can be filled with tragedy instead of celebration. The Fourth of July is one of the deadliest holidays of the year when it comes to alcoholimpaired driving crashes on our roadways. That’s why the Brown County Safe Communities Coalition and local law enforcement officials are reminding everyone that Buzzed Driving Is Drunk Driving and to designate a sober driver before the July 4th celebrations begin. Statistics gathered from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) over the past 25 years show that, on average, nearly half of all deadly traffic crashes over each year’s July 4th holiday involved some level of alcohol. In fact, 410 people were killed in motor vehicle traffic crashes nationally during the Fourth of July weekend in 2009. Of that number, 40 out of every 100 of these fatal crashes involved drivers with blood alcohol concentrations (BAC) of .08 or higher. (All 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico have made it illegal to drive with a BAC of .08 or higher.) The Fourth of July is a time most Americans spend celebrating with family and

SuSan BaSta friends, but in order to keep someone you love from becoming another deadly statistic, you can do your part to combat one of America’s deadliest crimes—drunk driving. The Brown County Safe Communities Coalition hopes that each of you as a driver will be responsible, designate a sober driver before the parties begin and will never get behind the wheel after you’ve been drinking. How does alcohol affect your ability to drive safely? Alcohol impairs your judgment, concentration, comprehension, coordination, sharpness of vision, and reaction time. Even driving “buzzed” is simply not worth the risk to you or the thousands of innocent victims who are hurt or killed each year by drunk drivers. Impaired driving is one of America’s deadliest problems. In 2009 alone, 10,839 people were killed in alcoholimpaired-driving crashes, accounting for 32 percent of all traffic-related deaths in the United States. That’s an average of one impaired-driving death every 48 minutes in 2009. Impaired drivers not only take the risk of hurting or

killing themselves or someone else, the trauma and financial costs of an alcohol-impaired crash or an arrest can be significant. Violators often face jail time, the loss of their driver licenses, higher insurance rates and dozens of other unanticipated expenses. If you plan to drink alcohol at your 4th of July picnic or party, please either plan to get a ride home with someone else and/or make sure to designate a sober driver before any drinking begins. And remember—if you know someone who is about to drive or ride his or her car, motorcycle or other vehicle while drunk, take the keys and help make other arrangements to get him or her home safely. Friends don’t let friends drive drunk! Be on the lookout while you’re on the road for your own safety and that of your family and loved ones, too. According to the Ohio Department of Public Safety, a driver might be drunk or impaired by alcohol if he/she: sits through a cycle of the traffic light without moving; makes wide turns; drives at night without headlights on; straddles the center or edge lines on the road or keeps drifting onto the berm or over the center line; signals one way and then turns the other way; stops in the road without a cause; or makes moves that are either very slow and inaccurate or very fast and reckless. And we ALL need to be particularly careful on the road at night, because the rate of alcohol

impairment among drivers involved in fatal crashes in 2009 was four times higher at night than during the day. If you suspect a drunk driver on the road, call the local law enforcement right away so that the police can get this driver off the road! The Ohio State Highway Patrol maintains a toll free number for reporting suspected drunk drivers: 1-800-GRAB DUI (1800-472-2384). Finally, to protect yourself and your loved ones while traveling, please remember to Buckle Up- every trip, every time. Your seat belt (as well as a proper restraint system for a younger child) is your first line of defense in a crash, so please use it. Remember, Buzzed Driving IS Drunk Driving, so whether you’ve had way too many, or just one too many, it’s not worth the risk to yourself or others to get behind the wheel. Please plan ahead and designate a sober driver before the party begins. For more information, please visit www.StopImpairedDriving.or g. The Brown County Safe Communities Program is funded by the U.S. Dept. of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Ohio Dept. of Public Safety/Office of Criminal Justice Services & Traffic Safety, and is locally coordinated by the HEALTHUC and the University of Cincinnati AHEC Program office at 114 E. State St. in Georgetown, Ohio.

Freedom, equality, justice—these are all buzz words associated with American democracy. We hear these terms repeated throughout our grade school years, in presidential addresses and mixed into political debates. But what do they really mean in the context of our national history? The United States is a unique country in that it has been led by the American public from its conception. These ideas denote more than just generic descriptions of government, but rather characterize the rich legacy of America. On July 4th, we will celebrate this enduring legacy and remember the historic events that occurred on the same day 235 years ago. In 1776, the Declaration of Independence was approved by the Second Continental Congress, sealing the Founding Fathers’ decision to separate from Great Britain and form a self-governing nation, the United States of America. Independence Day officially became a federal holiday in 1870, but it was first celebrated the next year in 1777. As a retired Colonel in the U.S. Marine Corps and a member of the Ohio House Veterans Affairs Committee, this holiday holds special significance for me. Since the first days of the American Revolution, men and women have been putting

Danny BuBp their lives on the line to fight for the rights and freedoms that we all enjoy. Many have sacrificed their lives for this cause, and many of our young men and women have also died during our current conflicts—all in the name of liberty. It is very hard to explain to someone the importance of what both the Founding Fathers and all those who fought the Revolutionary War did for America. We go about our lives often forgetting how good we have it. However, I believe that there comes a time in our lives when something clicks—we wake up to the realization that the visions of our founders were truly revolutionary and affect us every day. As you spend this Independence Day taking a weekend getaway, sitting on a beach, attending a parade or grilling out in the backyard, I hope that you’ll recognize the gifts and the rights given to us that our fellow Americans have fought so hard for in the past. God has truly blessed us over the last 235 years, and may He continue to bless our nation. Have a wonderful Fourth!

Dear Editor, Now while I agree with what some of Sam Talley said last week, I do disagree with him on the issue of theology. First, he is absolutely correct in saying that we must have a personal relationship with Jesus. We have to accept him in our heart, in order to be saved. Read Romans 10:9 and 10. Jesus told Nicodemus in John Chapter 3:"You must be born again."

But, I must disagree with him, when he says:"Theology like philosophy, is all about your best guess. Be humble about it...you're only guessing at what you can't be overly certain about." There are many hard theological truths in the Bible that we can be certain about. There are some essentials found in Scripture that are very clear. Then there are some non-essentials gleaned from the Bible which do not

affect the doctrine of salvation. God has given us a fairly simple message when it comes to salvation but we have to have a correct understanding of the message and that is where theology comes in play. Hebrews 11:1 "Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see." Theology is important!! Theology is the study of God and how he relates to man and his creation. There is no guessing when it comes to certain doctrines and truths in the Scripture. I would venture to say that every preacher, when they are in the pulpit preaching, are putting forth some sort of theology. And there are good theologies and there are bad theologies. And I believe preaching is really more about teaching, it is teaching people about God. A preacher gives their congregation a theological lesson every week, it may be a good lesson or it may be a bad lesson. I feel the reason so many churches are weak and ineffective today is because theology has been watered down, or not put forth from the pulpit at all. I have heard sermons where the Scripture was read and the preacher started preaching and never even referred back to the Scripture that they read. That is a problem, and after years of that no one knows what to believe.

Look in the Gospels and see how many times it says:"And Jesus began to teach." Jesus taught more theology than he preached. But both teaching and preaching are important and both should be done each time a preacher is in the pulpit. We are called to love God and people but if we do not have a proper understanding of God and salvation and how to put that into action we can just be drifting along and not doing the best we can for God. Our best isn't good enough. If we don't have the theology correct we can end up not doing the right thing or just being ineffective altogether. It is the preacher's job to interpret the Scripture and to teach the people good, sound Biblical doctrine every time they step into the pulpit. They are to make it so people do care about theology, to me that is what makes more sense. Since I am of the Reformed Faith this issue is very important to me. When the Reformation started it was because of unqualified preachers. The Church was a mess and the Reformation brought back the importance of good Biblical theology. As I said before, Scripture alone, Faith alone, and Grace alone!! Kevin P. Jodrey Decatur Presbyterian Church

The majority of high school graduates don’t stay in contact with all their classmates, especially after more than 45 years. But the Mt. Orab High School Class of 1963 has continued through the years to maintain friendships and close bonds with each other according to graduate Connie Green. The group recently raised over $2,000 for one of its classmates who is currently battling cancer. “We’ve got a group of about 11 women from the class of 1963, who get together from time to time, usually every month,” Green explained. “We are all very close friends. There were only about 45 graduates in our class so it’s no wonder we’ve all remained friends.” In 2006, one member of the group, Betty Scott Schindel Tillis, was diagnosed with cancer, which was devastating news for the tightknit group of friends.

Betty Scott Schindel Tillis Class of 1963 Mt. Orab High School

“Betty decided to battle her cancer through the ‘Green’ method,” Green said. “Instead of the usual chemo treatments or radiation, Betty decided to treat her cancer with herbs and a special treatment where doctors literally flush out her system on a regular basis. “The process has worked pretty well up until the past few months. “But the flush treatments cost $149 each time she has

one and she needs them more and more often now. Her insurance is no help with the treatments.” Green said Betty is alone financially and has very limited income. So when one of the groups members, Patsy Clark, had a yard sale, she suggested having a special yard sale where all the proceeds would go towards Betty’s treatments. “We all agreed it was a good idea,” Green said with a smile. “It couldn’t hurt, and would be a lot of fun.” So the group of 11 met at the Mt. Orab Kroger’s restaurant area and made plans for a yard sale to be held at St. Michael’s Church in Mt. Orab on Saturday, June 18. “I got on line and e-mailed everyone from our class and encouraged them to come make a donation to the yard sale,” she added. “We had so much stuff at that sale it was astonishing. And we didn’t price the items, we simply asked for donations.” Green said that over half of the Class of 1963 was

Auction in Feesburg, for them to sell. “They were so kind, they sent us a check for another $106. Everyone there had donated their own time and their commission to our cause.” Although Betty is not feeling her best these days, she managed to forward an email to the group which read: ... ‘I am so grateful to friends and family who have been by my side ever since I was first diagnosed in 2006. I am very much overwhelmed

at the outpouring of love and concern. You all are Forever in my heart and soul, Love Betty Scott.’ A special bank account for Betty Scott has been opened at the National Bank and Trust in Mt. Orab, and contributions can be made directly to the bank. “I would like to personally thank everyone who made this event such a wonderful success,” Green said. “I would also like to ask for everyone to continue praying for our friend Betty.”

The group also offered bake sale items which were made and donated by classmates. “One woman who stopped at the sale had her two small boys with her who knew Betty, because she had been their substitute teacher in Mt.

Something To Think about TOM MEGIE DIRECTOR

PREPARE BUSINESS AFFAIRS It doesn’t hurt to prepare for death even when you’re in good health. One of the most important things you can do is tidy up your business affairs. If you’re the sole owner of a business, think through carefully what you want to have happen to the business when you die. If you’re in business with others, it’s even more important to get these matters straightened out in advance. Your associates may be uncomfortable talking about closing matters, but don’t let their reluctance prevent you from discussing with them what will happen to your shares, who will take over in your place, and what the role of your survivors will be. Unless you do these things now, what you’ve worked for all these years may be lost and your survivors’ financial future may be

in serious jeopardy. So, see that you, your attorney, and your business associates face the issue now.

APOSTASY Turn with me to the book of Nahum. It is a small book of only 3 chapters. It talks about Nineveh. If you will remember, Jonah was sent to that great city to cry out against it. He went and when he preached the people repented and turned to God. According to history, there was a tremendous change in Nineveh after Jonah preached. In the book of Nahum about 150 years had passed since that time. The revival which had taken place had faded out and the people who now lived there had turned away from God. Sennacherib, the idolatrous king of Assyria, dwelt at Nineveh. It was he who had threatened to destroy Jerusalem but when Hezekiah, king of Judah, prayed to God concerning this matter God answered his prayer. Isaiah 37:36-37 states: “Then the angel of the LORD went forth, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and four score and five thousand: and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses. So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and dwelt at Nineveh.” This is the story of that city which, in the Bible, represents the gentile world. The prophecy of this book is a twofold prophecy concerning not only the Nineveh of that day but also the gentile world of today. When people know about God and then turn away from Him it is called apostasy; there is no remedy for apostasy but utter judgment! We are facing that same problem here in this country. There was no cure for apostasy in Nineveh and there will be no cure for apostasy in America. Look with me in verse 2 of Nahum chapter 1. “God is jealous, and the LORD revengeth; the LORD revengeth, and is furious; the LORD will take vengeance on his adversaries, and he reserveth wrath for his enemies.” When the LORD repeats something you better listen up! It is like when your mother called you by both your first and middle name! When that happened you knew it was serious business! God was furious then and He is furious now. The other day I was listening to the radio and a man was calling in about the mechanics of a car. Without thinking anything about it, he first used God’s name in

DR. CHARLES SMITH MT. ORAB BIBLE BAPTIST CHURCH www.bbcmtorab.com vain and then he used Jesus’ name in vain. He wasn’t angry; he was just talking and he used Their names repeatedly. Do you know what is happening in that family he is raising? His children will do the same thing. The taking of God’s name in vain is common practice today. Exodus 20:7 says: “Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.” And people will use it right alongside the most filthy language you can imagine. His name is on their lips but their heart is far from Him. In fact, in reality they want nothing at all to do with Him. God is furious and He will take vengeance. America is in a state of apostasy. And why is that? Part of the reason is that the churches in America have let America down because the people in the churches have let the churches down! Churches all over this country are getting weaker instead of stronger. Children are not being taught to respect the name of God and consequently they are becoming His enemies. God said that He reserves wrath for His enemies. Psalm 139:20 states: “For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name in vain.” When you hear both adults and children alike saying God this and Jesus that, you can be sure that they are enemies of God according to the Bible. Listen, America is drinking and cursing it’s way to hell. For the first time in history America has taken away the title from France of being the largest wine drinking country in the world! Isn’t that just great? Although this nation is in the state of apostasy and cannot repent; you can. Use God’s name in prayer instead of vain and call upon the Lord to save your never dying soul. You will be glad you did.

SSCC signs articulation agreement with Otterbein University Otterbein University signed articulation agreements with six community colleges on Thursday, May 19, at the Capital Club in downtown Columbus. Ohio Board of Regents Chancellor Jim Petro and AICUO President C. Todd Jones were in attendance. Now partnering with Otterbein are: Central Ohio Technical College, Clark State Community College, Marion Technical College, North Central State College, Southern State Community College and Zane State College. The articulation agreements facilitate the smooth transition of students from these two-

year community colleges to Otterbein’s four-year degree programs. “We recognize that the educational experiences found at our state community colleges help students begin their academic and professional potential. At Otterbein University, they will find a campus equally as personal, as invested, and as caring as they have known at their previous institution,” said President Krendl. The articulation agreements guarantee admission with junior standing to all students who graduate from one of the partner institution with an associate’s degree, providing the student’s grade point aver-

age is at least 2.0. In addition, all college-level credits earned with a grade of C or better at the partner college will be applied toward Otterbein’s curriculum require ments. If a student chooses to transfer from one of the partner colleges to Otterbein before earning an associate’s degree, the partnering institution will give that student the opportunity to complete an associate’s degree with Otterbein course credits.

Southern Hills Career Technical Center was notified by the Washington, DC Character Education Partnership (CEP) that the school has been selected as a Promising Practices Award winner for its Character Education program initiated three years ago. In an effort to create a more caring school environment, all Southern Hills Career and Technical Center students have a staff mentor. Mentoring Monday is on the schedule twice each month and during this time staff spends one period of the school day focusing on Character Education and relationship building. Using the Character Counts! Six pillars of character – Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Caring, and Citizenship, staff meets with

students to focus on the character trait featured for the month and makes an effort to teach a lesson and incorporate good principles of character into their everyday lives. The use of a mentoring period has allowed a closer relationship between students and staff. Students feel more comfortable going to their mentor when a problem situation arises or when they are struggling with something. Since its inception three years ago, Mentoring Monday has become a regular part of the schedule at Southern Hills. Out of a record 499 applicants this year, CEP will award 260 Promising Practices to 235 schools and districts from across the United States, Brazil, Mexico, and Singapore. The Promising Practices program recognizes schools and

districts that have developed specific, unique, and effective educational practices that promote character development. This year’s winning practices inc lude strong anti-bullying programs, service-learning endeavors academic practices targeting at-risk youth, activities encouraging care for the environment, and programs promoting parent and community involvement. The Promising Practices awards program is administered by CEP as part of its National Schools of Character program. CEP is a nonprofit, nonpartisan, nonsectarian coalition of organizations and individuals dedicated to helping schools develop people of good character for a just and compassionate society.

By Martha Jacob The Brown County Press Little Danielle Wilks turned two in February this year, and thanks to an observant mother who noticed something unusual about one of her eyes, should live a long and happy life. But she will be living that life with only one eye. Danielle is the daughter of Kristy Honeycutt and Donnie Wilks, Mt. Orab. “Late last year I noticed something unusual about Danielle’s right eye,” Kristy said. “It had some kind of glow about it. Every once in a while it looked like maybe she had a cataract or something like that, that made it look like it was glowing, sort of like a cat.” Kristy, a registered nurse, said she watched the eye very closely and decided it might be a cataract, which bothered her enough to make an appointment with her pediatrician. “Her daddy said he didn’t really notice it,” she added, “but then I was looking at a picture of Danielle and she had red-eye in her left eye, but the right eye was white. It was really obvious. “Then I got a call from her dad’s aunt and she asked me if I noticed anything unusual about her right eye. Well, that did it

two year old Danielle Wilks lost her right eye to retinoblastoma, but it hasn’t slowed her down. Danielle is expected to make a full recovery.

for me. I got her into her doctor right away.” Kristy said the pediatrician didn’t see anything that concerned her but referred her to an eye specialist just the same. After several tests, Danielle was diagnosed with retinoblastoma, which is a rapidly developing cancer that develops in the cells of the retina, the lightdetecting tissue of the eye. Retinoblastoma is a rare type of cancer that develops in early childhood, usually before age five. “We looked retinoblastoma up on the internet and we were devastated,” Kristy said. “We soon discovered that there are several options on treatment of this kind of cancer and if caught early enough, can be 100 percent successful. The biggest issue is the tumor can spread from the tumor to the optic nerve and into the brain which is not treatable, and we didn’t know how much her

tumor had progressed.” The couple had to travel to West Chester to see a surgeon, who had years of experience treating this particular cancer. “At this point in time,” Kristy continued, “Our options had reduced because we didn’t catch it early enough. Danielle was in stage C of the disease. “We chose a program where chemotherapy was performed directly on her eye through an angiogram.” Kristy said the worst part of the four-treatment plan was that before and after each treatment her daughter had to be put under anesthesia for an exam of her eye. “That was very difficult watching her be put to sleep 16 times,” Kristy said, struggling not to cry. “Anesthesia can be very dangerous. I’m a nurse, and I know that.” Danielle was diagnosed in September and had her first exam and treatment. Then she

had her next exam and treatment in October, again in November, and then finally her last treatment was in December. “The treatment worked very well, and the tumor had shrunk tremendously,” she added. “Then by March 4, the tumor was gone all together. We were so hopeful. “But during her multiple exams the doctors kept seeing these little specks, they called them seeds, and what looked like tiny little clouds throughout her eye. They thought maybe they were dead tissue from the tumor.” She said the doctors had to wait until the seeds settled to study exactly what they were. On May 24, the family was notified that the seeds they were seeing were actually tiny little malignant tumors. They said they were nowhere near the optical nerve, but the eye had to be removed, immediately. “So on May 25, just a few weeks ago, the doctors removed her eye, and she was fitted for a prosthetic eye,” Kristy said. Danielle did very well through all the procedures she endured and when another child looked at her and asked what’s wrong with your eye, Kristy said, “She put her little hand on her hip and replied, ‘My eye got sick, and it had to come out!’” Kristy said Danielle’s twin sisters Hailey and Makayla have been very supportive and encouraging to their baby sister. “We feel so blessed that we found the cancer early,” Kristy said in an emotional voice. “I hope other people will read this story and really look closely at their own children’s eyes. “I’ve learned that with early detection, doctors can use lasers to destroy the tumor with an excellent cure rate of up to 98 percent.”

Local school boards would decide when those hours would be, but there could be no school between Memorial Day and Labor Day.” Creighton also told the board that he had read that the National Board of Education has reported that it estimates 80 percent of the nations schools are going to fail to make adequate yearly progress and will fail to meet their goals. To that comment, Simmons responded, “Well, the system is designed so that, eventually no one will be able to succeed. They will have to re-do the math eventually.” Board member Kenneth Kelch reported to the board

his concerns over the effects of charter schools on the district. “I read in the Cincinnati Sunday paper that this new state budget proposes to force school districts to offer any old unused buildings in the district to charter schools first for a $1 lease fee per year,” Kelch said. “That could mean a loss of thousands of dollars to a district if they wouldn’t be allowed to sell the building and use the funds to help with the budget.” Kelch went on to say that last year the Cincinnati School District lost 6,611 students to charter schools.

New rules mean fewer in prison Five indicted, three on serious charges CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 dents of violence while incarcerated. Sex offenders, repeat violent offenders and those incarcerated for gun crimes are excluded. Brown County Common Pleas Judge Scott Guswieler said he has some concerns about how the new law will effect Brown County. One change that he referenced was that the ODRC now has to approve sending an inmate to prison under certain circumstances. Felony and misdemeanor charges are classified in Ohio by number. A first degree felony is most serious, and felonies classifications go from one to five. Misdemeanor charges follow the same structure. The law presumes that inmates sentenced on fourth or fifth degree felonies will be sentenced to Community Control, or probation. If a judge wants to send someone convicted of a fourth or fifth degree felony to prison instead, they must now submit the case to the ODRC. The ODRC then has 45 days

to explore alternatives and decide on the sentence. Gusweiler said local judges should be making those decisions. “I’ve got the pre-sentencing investigation, I know the defendant, I know the victim, I know our community needs and our fears. My concern is that the logistics of (the new procedure) will slow justice down.” It could also cost the county money. Inmates who plead guilty remain in the Brown County Detention Center, unless they are granted and make bail. If they are waiting an extra 45 days for the ODRC to determine a proper sentence, they cost the county approximately $55.00 a day. “That is the exact opposite of what I brought to this job”, Gusweiler said. “I brought to this job a commitment to get justice done quickly, efficiently and fairly.” Gusweiler said that the state has set aside $6.7 million dollars between all 88 counties to help implement the new rules, but he said that might not be

enough. “If they continue to make it more and more difficult for us to use the corrections system, that’s going to place an obligation for me to find local sanctions, which means we have to supervise those people. If those numbers continue to rise, that means we will require more probation staff, which ultimately comes out of the county general fund.” The average number of individuals on Community Control in Brown County is approximately 450. Gusweiler said that the goal is to have each supervisor limited to 150 people under their control. “My probation staff does an excellent job, but when you get them overloaded, the fear would be that without close contact, defendants may not feel the proper sense of accountability.” The state houses approximately 50,000 prisoners in a system designed for 38,000. Supporters of the new law say the prison population is expected to be reduced by 3800 over the next four years as a result of the changes.

Then we combine that with spotter reports and weather service data to determine what happened to cause the damage.” Binau said the investigations aid the National Weather Service in improving the forecasting of severe storms by comparing damage to weather data gathered before and during the storm. “Tornados occur under certain environments. We know based on past experience what conditions combine to make tornadic activity more likely.” Binau said the National Weather Service encourages people to provide information in the aftermath of a storm. “We do like to know about damage. It helps us verify our warnings and it helps the whole scientific process.” The tornado was rated as an EF1 on the Enhanced Fujita

WB girls soccer hosts college coaches for clinics By Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press

about 15 girls for each clinic but about 25 showed up for each. Each clinic was run by a coach from the school. All the schools that Silvis was able get to come down have, for the most part, very good women’s soccer programs. Ohio State assistant coach Glen Tourville hosted the first clinic. He helped coach the Buckeyes to the Women’s College Cup, where they lost in the national semifinal to eventual champion Notre Dame. Marshall assistant coach Scott Letts came to Western Brown to host the second clinic. Letts is a part of the coaching staff that is rebuilding the Thundering Herds women’s soccer team.

The Western Brown girls soccer team hosted five college coaches clinics during the past couple of weeks at LaRosa’s Field. Above the girls gather with Marshall University assistant coach Scott Letts (back row, fifth from left). Letts held the second of the five clinics.

Cincinnati State hosted the third clinic. Head coach Will Cagle came out to lead the session after leading the Surge to a top 15 ranking this past season as well as to the most wins in school history. Perennial Division II contender NKU hosted the fourth clinic. Head coach Bob Sheehan and assistant coach Terry Gruelle also both came out to instruct the Lady Broncos. The final clinic was last Friday, and it was hosted by Wilmington head coach Steve Spirk. He has coached at the school for the last 18 years and turned the Quakers into a very good women’s soccer program. Silvis was able to attract these coaches because he knew most of them from the

recruitment of his daughters, Amber and Ashley, and from when he previously coached the Lady Broncos in 2001-03. Though the clinics were set up to help teach the Lady Broncos, two girls from Clermont Northeastern and one from Blanchester also attended. It was also a chance for the girls to be seen in action by college coaches. “It was really good for the recruiting of the girls,” Silvis said. The Lady Broncos now head into a busy July filled with the Western Brown soccer camp and a pre-season tournament in Mason as they get closer to the August 1 date when practices can get underway for the season. The following girls attend-

Malone goes back to the basics as he takes over G-Men soccer team By Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press Get back to the basics. That has been the simple message for the Georgetown boys soccer team this offseason. Coming off of a 3-13-1 season, it seems like the best place to start for new G-Men coach Neil Malone. “I just want to compete in every game,” Malone said of his goals for this season. “With soccer, the best team doesn’t always win. It comes down to executing. In soccer, teams can get completely outplayed but win 2-1.” Malone’s first team will be young and won’t have a lot of experience but there is room for growth. In the open fields that Malone has watched this summer, he has already saw improvement in some of players who have taken the instruction of learning the basics to heart. And though he isn’t that familiar with Southern Buckeye Conference National Division foes and Batavia, Felicity

Blanchester, Malone said he think his team can compete. “I completely think we could compete for a league championship but I don’t know what the other teams have,” he said. “The first week of school I’m going to watch Batavia play Felicity. They were the two best teams in the division last year.” Even though Batavia ran away with the SBC National Division last year, Georgetown finished right behind Felicity as they came in third place in the National Division. They were one game behind Felicity. While he was around some of his players as a first year math teacher at Georgetown this past school year, Malone is still getting to know his team on the field. He watched the team some last year but is still trying to figure out how his team will come together. He has seen a good turnout every week for the voluntary open fields but he said he probably will have to wait until practice starts on August 1 to see what he has.

“The fact that they’re coming out is great,” he said. “I’ve got a lot of guys playing basketball (so I don’t know) but I’ve seen a couple of guys who have gotten a lot better in just a month.” This will be Malone’s first head coaching job but he has plenty of experience with the sport as he was an assistant coach at Ripley for one year before coming to Georgetown to teach. Malone also had a solid playing career in the sport in high school at Ripley, where he graduated from in 2001. His play on the pitch earned him All-Southern HIlls League status his final three years of high school. And he hopes to use all that experience to help guide the G-Men this season. Regardless of what happens, Malone has two objectives for his team to meet this season. “The main things are play hard and teamwork,” he said.

In addition to winning their age group at the tournament, the Heat also finished league play with a 6-2 record and are the co-champions of their

division. The Heat are part of the Beechmont Soccer Club and have players from Clermont, Brown, Highland and Hamilton counties. The girls worked very hard this spring to learn to play together as a team and earn their successes this season!

SOSOA looking to train new high school soccer officials The Southern Ohio Soccer Officials Association (SOSOA) is an Ohio High School Athletic Association (OHSAA)-certified official’s association formed in 2008 and primarily serves Clermont, Brown, Adams and Highland counties. The purpose of the Association is to train and provide high school soccer officials for OHSAA contests while promoting the absolute highest standards of sportsmanship, ethics and integrity among its member officials. To support our continued growth, the SOSOA is actively recruiting new officials for the 2011 fall season. Previous experience as a coach, official or player (at any level) is required. This is an excellent opportunity for

former college and high school players to stay involved with the game or for anyone else to ‘give back’ to their community. Officials have a chance to build friendships with fellow officials, enjoy the exercise and earn extra cash all while helping to ensure that playing opportunities remain available for today’s youth. The SOSOA will be offering a training class for new officials starting at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday, July 12 at Trinity Christian Fellowship, 3730 Cobb Rd. in Williamsburg. The class will meet on Tuesdays and Thursdays for five weeks for a total of at least 25 hours of classroom and on-field instruction (including live pre-season matches).

Upon successful completion of the course, candidates will be licensed OHSAA officials eligible to work any school match up to and including the varsity level. The cost of the class is $110 which includes books, handout's and OHSAA dues. The SOSOA instructors are well-respected veteran officials who are eager to share their knowledge and experience with new members. If you’ve ever thought about serving your community or giving back to the game you’ve loved, this is the perfect opportunity.

With limited coaching opportunities and monotonous open fields taking place now and throughout the summer, new Western Brown girls soccer coach Dan Silvis tried a different approach to help his team get through the down time. Over the past couple of weeks, Silvis had five college coaches come to LaRosa’s Field to hold clinics for his team. Head coaches from Northern Kentucky University, Cincinnati State Community College and Wilmington College as well as assistants from Ohio State University and Marshall University came to Western

Brown to coach the Lady Broncos in one day sessions where they taught the team basic fundamentals. Silvis said the clinics were helpful on two fronts--keeping the girls active and getting them different perspectives. “Anytime they’ve got a foot on the ball it’s good for them,” he said. He continued, “Normally the girls have had Wilmington come down and do a week long camp but things could get stale. Now we had different coaches and they have different techniques.” The clinics were well all well attended, starting with 31 girls showing up for the Ohio State clinic. Silvis said he was very happy, and a little surprised, with the turnout. He expected

The racing action at Moler Raceway Park (MRP) started with some bonus racing as the Big Red Book street stock special from June 10th was run prior to the evening racing program. It looked like Bruce Gray Jr was going to take his first feature win at MRP as he led the first fifteen laps before spinning in traffic. From that restart on it was all Jamey Adams, as the Laurelville, OH resident was able to take his second feature victory of the season. Jim Helterbran, Bub Balsley, Brandon Mather and Shannon Enoch would round out the top five positions. In the Sunoco American Late Model Series, it was Chad Stapleton setting the fast time of the night and setting the stage for the heat race action. In the heat races it was Coleman, MI’s Curtis Roberts taking heat number one while Clarklake, MI’s Brian Ruhlman was victorious in the second heat. In the 40 lap AMain, it was Roberts and Stapleton bringing the field around to the green flag with Roberts jumping out front. By lap eight it was Sardinia, OH’s Barry Doss jumping up to second position from his sixth position starting spot and he and Roberts waged a furious battle for the top spot with Doss actually taking over the top spot but a spinning car in back of the pack brought out a caution and relegated Doss

Racing at Moler Raceway Park (MRP) is usually a full schedule but due to mother nature two weeks ago the schedule got even more packed. Typically the Firecracker 40 for the Chevette division is a big event but this year with the addition of two make-up features added to the schedule (modifieds and chevettes) it was turned into an even bigger night. Starting the night off was a 20 lap Mt Orab Ford Modified division feature from June 10. Matt Hamilton and Randy Wash were on the front row of the feature but at the drop of the green it was evident that last week’s feature winner Weasel Rhodes was the man to beat. Hamilton jumped to the top position but by lap five it was Rhodes taking over the top spot. Hamilton made a couple of attempts to get back past him but it would not be as Rhodes would lead all 15 remaining laps to take his second feature win in a row in his Sticker Auto Parts, Lightning Chassis machine. Doug Adkins would get by Hamilton for second spot while Ray Branscum and Jimmy Lennex Jr would round out the top five positions. In the featured division of the night it was the Holman Motor Chevettes in the Firecracker 40 event. With 27 cars on hand trying to take home a share of the top money, the heat races were very important. Josh Francis, Miles Tarvin and Kevin Riggs would claim the heat race victories while Jason Hoskins claimed the last chance qualifier. At the start of the 40 lap event it was Miles Tarvin jumping out to the top position and three and four-wide racing behind him. He would stay there for the entire 40 lap feature to claim the $1500 paycheck. Jeff Watson came home second and claimed the $1000 check. Rusty Yarger finished third and took home $500 while Kevin Riggs and Derrick Davis rounded out the top five positions. The Big Red Book Street Stocks were next on the track. And in their fifteen lap feature it looked as if newcomer John Cole was going to make his journey from Berea, KY pay off as he jumped to the lead at the green flag but Jeremie Bretz in the Pendleton Truck service #14 would drive by on

back to second spot. On the restart it was all Curtis Roberts as he was never really challenged again in his K&M Recyclers, SMR Recycling machine as he won at MRP for the second year in a row in the Sunoco American Late Model Series. Doss came home second while Jason Jameson, JR Hotovy and Derek Fisher rounded out the top five positions. In the Mount Orab Ford Modifieds, it was Weasel Rhodes’ night as the veteran racer was able to take his first win at MRP in his Stricker Auto Parts, Lightning Chassis, Cropper Race Engines machine. Aurora, IN’s Matt Hamilton came home second with Randy Wash, Dave McWilliams and Doug Adkins rounding out the top five spots in the feature event. In preliminary action it was Wash, Rhodes and Nick Hodges claiming heat race wins while Devin Gilpin was able to take

the B-main victory. In the regularly scheduled Big Red Book Street Stocks, it was Jim Helterbran claiming his first victory at MRP with a wire-to-wire victory in the 15 lap event. Adams came home second with Jeremie Scott, Bruce Gray Jr and Brandon Mather rounding out the top five positions. Helterbran and Bill Crabtree claimed the heat race wins. The Holman Motors Chevettes had a familiar face reaching victory lane as Rusty Yarger was able to take his Roquet Signs, Wilson Body Shop machine to victory for the second time this season. Yarger led every lap but he just barely held off the hard charging Miles Tarvin for the win. Josh Francis came home third followed by Jeff Watson and Sean Jones. In heat race action it was Jason Hoskins, Francis and Yarger taking the wins.

10. Twice, their opponent would fail to register a single goal. In their first full year of competitive soccer, the girls were 14-0-1 in league play. Congratulations, girls! Go Eagles!

a lap three restart and take the top position. Jeremie Scott would get by Cole and chase after Bretz but to no avail as Bretz would win his second feature event of the season. Scott would place second followed by Bruce Gray Jr, Bub Balsley and Shannon Enoch. Cole and Bretz were heat race winners. In the regular Mt Orab Ford Modified feature event, it was Doug Adkins and Shawn Tolson bringing the field to green with Adkins jumping out front to the top spot and Tolson, in his new Diamond Racecar, in second spot. On lap three there was contact between Matt Hamilton and Tolson that resulted in the Aurora, IN Driver restarting from the tail and Tolson back in second spot. On the restart it was Adkins still out front but the car on the move was the #15 machine of Ray Branscum who would challenge Adkins for the win but to no avail as the 239 Auto Group, Echo Cleaners, Poske Performance Parts sponsored machine would claim his second victory of the season. Branscum would maintain second position while Weasel Rhodes, Hamilton and Kyle Schornick would round out the top five spots. In preliminary action it was Adkins, Tolson, and Schornick winning heat races while Shane Mugavin claimed victory in the B-main event. In the Sunesis Construction Late Models, there were 19 cars on hand and it was Flemingsburg, KY’s Roger Ruark and Middletown, OH’s John Whitney Jr. winning heat races to set the field. In the feature, it was Whitney jumping to the top spot but Lawrenceburg, IN’s Jason Jameson was on a mission as he jumped from his fourth position starting spot up to second on the start and he would drive past Whitney on

lap three to take over the lead position. Throughout the first fifteen laps it was Jameson and Whitney way out front but the battle for 3rd-8th position was a good one. Following a restart for contact with the wall by Ed Eschman, Jameson and Whitney would again separate themselves from the pack but Ethan Burgess, Ruark, Wayne Chinn, Mike Meyers and Chad Stapleton would battle furiously for the remaining positions. At the end it was Jameson in victory lane, Whitney second and Chinn third with Burgess and Barry Doss rounding out the top five spots. In the sixth and final feature of the night, it was the Holman Motor Chevettes coming back out for an encore performance and a fifteen lap make-up feature. At the drop of the green flag it was Joey Yazell out front and a three wide battle behind him with Kevin Riggs, Jeff Watson and Rusty Yarger battling for the second position. Watson would take the top spot from Yazell on lap three. But the car on the move was last starting Miles Tarvin, who was up to third by lap five. On lap 10 Tarvin would go under Watson going into turn number one and Watson shutting the door. Watson would spin around but the caution was charged to Tarvin and Watson would restart from the lead. Watson would continue on to take his first win of the season with Kevin Riggs coming home second followed by Yazell, Scott Ramp and Derrick Davis. July 1 Phantom Fireworks Night.

The race night will also consist of the UMP Modifieds racing for $750 to win in the Central Star Drilling 20. With Kentucky Speedway in Sparta, Ky running their first NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race on Saturday, July 9th there will be a lot of big

Then the club split into three groups. The Air Care explained how they go about taking injured

people to the hospital. The EMS gave a demo on an automatic CPR equipment and the police officer explained about his drug sniffing dog and told us how all his commands were in the Dutch language. When the groups came together again we discussed our Zoo trip, the leaving of Becky Cropper after all her years as a 4-H advisor, and about shirt designs for our fair shirts.

Creature Feature Reverse sneezing frightens owners BY DR. DAN MEAKIN All dog owners have on occasion witnessed their pooch have a snorting fit alarming them into thinking the dog was in danger. Having been on call for 19 years at All Creatures, I probably have received more emergency calls for reverse sneezing than any other single issue. My first year out of school, while doing my internship at West L.A. Veterinary Medical Group, I remember meeting and treating celebrity Joan Rivers’ Yorkshire terrier at 2 a.m. for a mild case of reverse sneezing. She said, “thank you darling.” The point is reverse sneezing alarms people and makes owners panic. Reverse sneeze syndrome is characterized by a series of rapid, loud forced inhalations through the nostrils, lasting anywhere from 10 seconds to 2 minutes. Attacks occur on a sporadic, unpredictable basis. Dogs usually have the head extended forward and stand still during the episode. Affected dogs appear completely normal before and after the attack. There is no loss of consciousness or collapse, though sometimes the appearance of the dog is upsetting to owners. Many dogs, especially small breeds, have these attacks throughout their lives. The exact cause of reverse sneezing is unknown, but it may be associated with sinusitis, allergies, or other upper respiratory disorders. Many believe affected dogs are consciously removing mucus from the nasal passages. In fact, many dogs swallow at the end of the

DAN MEAKIN CREATURE FEATURE

attack. Whatever the cause, the condition is usually not serious. If the condition appears suddenly in an older dog or if episodes become more severe or frequent, the nasal passages and throat should be examined. However, treatment is not necessary when the episodes occur infrequently on a random basis.

Home treatments that have been reported to be successful include massaging the throat, blowing in the nose, and rapidly and lightly compressing the chest. Notify your veterinarian if any of the following occurs: • The severity or frequency of your pet's attacks changes. • Your pet develops a nasal discharge or a cough. • Your pet's general health changes. Dr. Dan Meakin is the owner of All Creatures Animal Hospital, 1894 Ohio Pike in Amelia. Call (513) 797-PETS.

Georgetown scouts enjoy day of riding

The Georgetown Cub Scouts Pack 304 enjoyed an afternoon of horseback riding on Sunday, June 12, 2011 at the home of Reggie and Elizabeth Mackenzie and Stephanie Thorne. Carey Bryan brought her horses Toby and Gunter for the boys to ride. Carey explained to the boys about different types of horses. They were given a demonstration on grooming the horses and were allowed to feed them. Each scout rode each horse on a lead line. They had to make the horses go forward and backward and make them stop. Each scout in attendance earned their horseback riding belt loop.
