Wildlife officials get win in court BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press The case against five Ohio Division of Wildlife officials facing felony charges in Brown County has been dealt a serious blow by Common Pleas Judge Scott Gusweiler. Division of Wildlife Chief David Graham, Assistant Chief Randy Miller, Law Enforcement Administrator James Lehman, Human Administrator Resources Michelle Ward-Tackett and Division of Wildlife District Five Supervisor Todd Haines all face felony Obstruction of Justice Charges. Following the Sept. 2 hearing, Gusweiler has ruled that statements made by the five during an investigation by the Ohio Inspector General’s Office were compelled under threat of dismissal from their jobs, violating their right against self-incrimination. Gusweiler has suppressed those statements and may dis-

miss the case entirely. He has ordered a transcript of the Grand Jury proceedings that led to the indictments of the five be forwarded to him. In his ruling, Gusweiler writes “The law is clear if these statements were used in Grand Jury or a witness to the statements...testified at grand jury, these cases must be dismissed.” The five have been on paid administrative leave since April of this year while the case is pending. Ohio Division of Wildlife Public Information Officer Heidi Hetzel-Evans said that the five would return to work if the case is dismissed. Brown County Prosecutor Jessica Little has said she plans to appeal Gusweilers ruling to the 12 Ohio District Court of Appeals. “I disagree with the finding of facts and conclusions of law in the ruling”, Little said. Little said a ruling from the appeals court could take six

months to a year. She added “If this kind of ruling is allowed to stand it will have a grave effect on any further interviews conducted by the Inspector Generals Office.” Gusweilers ruling is based on the 1967 U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Garrity v. New Jersey. That ruling states that public employees cannot be threatened with their jobs or other punishments to force them to criminally incriminate themselves during an administrative investigation. The case stems from 2006 when when Division of Wildlife Officer Allan Wright was accused of letting South Carolina Wildlife Officer Eric Vaughn use Wright’s home address to purchase an instate hunting permit. That action allowed Vaughn to save $106.00 by paying $19.00 for the license instead of $125.00. Wright also allegedly tam-

pered with official state records by recording his own address on deer tags used by Vaughn. Little decided to charge the five individuals above Wright in the Division of Wildlife chain of command after an investigation by the Ohio Inspector General’s office said the five ignored alleged criminal activity by Wright in violation of state policy. Wright was originally

Aberdeen Council gives thumbs-up on new water plant BY Martha Jacob The Brown County Press In 1995, it was projected that a new water plant for Aberdeen could cost as much as $3 million. But during the Oct 4 village council meeting, it was reported by Dallas Hurt, Sweney Cartwright and Co., that the project is going to be much less. According to Hurt, the village has been awarded allocations, which will help subsidize up to 45 percent of the interest on any debts related to the water plant project, pending approval by council. "With as well as things are going with our water department there's no reason we can't pay for this water plant," Councilman Jerry Applegate stated. "For the last few months we've heard all kinds of stories and rumors about this project, like how our bills are going to go up, and that's just not true, but I think it's important to keep our water company in our own village." Other council members expressed like views on the upcoming project.

Councilman Jay Castle stated that he had originally voted no on the project, but after getting all the facts, has now changed his mind. "I have heard and read all the facts about this venture and we all, as council members, want to do what is best for the people of Aberdeen, and I believe keeping our water company in our hands is what's best for this community. The current well-site application has been filed and submitted and will be accepted pending Ohio Environmental Protection Agency approval of the site. Several members of council brought up the possibility of naming the new facility after Louis "Junior " Bramel, a city employee who died suddenly of a heart attack on Oct. 2. Council passed a resolution to begin all steps leading to the construction of the new water plant. In other business, residents in the Aberdeen area will be voting in November on allowing the council to negotiate with current electric and natuCONTINUED ON PAGE 11

Road work on US 68 in Mt. Orab BY Martha Jacob The Brown County Press Drivers in Mt. Orab were moving a little slower on North High Street (US 68) this week as a three part improvement project began. According to Mayor Bruce Lunsford the work being done on High is the second phase of the project which also include Mill Street and Front Street. "We are widening the road there on High Street so we can extend the turn lane to Elm Street," Lunsford said. " It currently stops at Apple Street." Lunsford said that about four weeks ago work began on Mill Street and is nearly complete with the exception of some curb and dirt issues. The High Street work should

be finished by the end of next week, weather permitting, at which time work will begin

on Front Street. Cox Paving, Highland County was contracted for the project.

He is accused of selling Oxycodone on August 18. One of the counts specifies that Luke sold the drug in the

He is accused of knowingly entering or tampering with a vault, safe or strongbox on July 11, 2009. • Eli Hill faces one count of Burglary, a second degree felony and one count of Theft of Drugs, a fourth degree felony. Hill is accused of entering the home of Justin Cowans while Cowans was present and stealing Oxycodone belonging to Cowans. • Carrie Morgan faces one count of Burglary, a second

Morgan is accused of entering the home of Adam Yazell on Aug. 5 while Yazell was present and stealing property belonging to Yazell that was worth more than five hundred dollars but less than five thousand dollars. • James Bowman faces one count of Theft, a fifth degree felony. Bowman is accused of on taking a check belonging to Jimmy Bowman on Aug. 19 “that on its face identified the drawer or maker for whose use it was designed or identified the account on which it was to be drawn, and that had not been executed by the drawer or maker or on which the amount was blank without the consent of the owner or person authorized to give consent”. • Brandon Overstake faces one count of Passing Bad Checks, a fifth degree felony.

He is accused of failing to provide support to a person he was legally obligated to provide support to between Jan. 1, 1998 and Feb. 4, 2000. An indictment means a grand jury found that enough evidence exists that an accused person likely committed the crime(s) with which he or she is charged. An indictment by itself, however, does not mean the person is guilty of a specific crime or crimes or that he or she actually committed a specific crime or crimes.

In a letter of complaint filed Sept. 24, 2010 with the Brown County Probate Court, Aberdeen Mayor Garland Renchen, brought charges against four council members, citing each with abuse of power as well as several additional charges. In response to the complaint, council members in question, Hugh Hall, Robert Hutchison, Jerry Applegate and Jason Phillips, filed a counter complaint against the mayor. Renchen openly accused the four council members of forming a coalition that resulted in a majority vote on any issue that had been previously decided upon before coming to open council meetings. Several specific issues were mentioned in the complaint including the Aug. 16 meeting where council approved hiring an employee to do temporary work on the streets and to pay him $500. According to Renchen the

employee was hired prior to the meeting by Applegate before having a background check or being drug tested. He accused the council members of restricting him from doing his job, badgering and interrogating him and making up their own rules. In the council members counter suit, they vehemently denied any or real or imagined political coalition and stated that they each act independently based on the best interests of the citizens of Aberdeen. Further, the council members refuted each of the itemized charges brought against them by Renchen and stated that the mayor constantly fails to adhere to the Ohio Revised Code, is oblivious to his responsibilities to the citizens of the village, tries to dictate how each council member should vote and often makes sexist comments. Several additional concerns were also in the counter-complaint. In a phone interview with Mayor Renchen, he stated, "At this time, I haven't really looked at the counter complaint, so I don't have much to say. I do however hope that we can come together and get this all settled in a good way."

Letters to the Editor

Job losses in Ohio laid at Stricklands feet Dear Editor: I guess I don’t live in the same Ohio that Ripley voter Kerrin Cushing is describing. My Ohio is in trouble, thanks to Ted Strickland. I have some problems with the talking points that Cushing got from Ted’s running mate at the Brown County Democrat Dinner, or from Ted’s website, or from the Democrat booth at the fair. Cushing says that Ohio has the 6th fastest growing economy. I found the study referred to. It is by a company called Reed Construction Data. This group says Michigan is the 2nd fastest growing economy. Does anyone believe that? And do you really want to brag about being behind Michigan if you buy the numbers to begin with?

Cushing goes on to talk about unemployment and tough decisions. Strickland will brag that unemployment has dropped five months in a row, but what he won’t tell you is this: Ohio’s unemployment rate has not fallen below double digits in the past 17 straight months. In fact, under Ted, Ohio reached ITS HIGHEST UNEMPLOYMENT RATE IN A QUARTER CENTURY. Under Ted Strickland, 400,000 jobs have been lost in Ohio. Ted’s unemployment rate is 4 points higher than the peak of the previous administration. Here are some other sobering facts from reputable sources: According to Forbes, 4 of America’s fastest dying cities are in Ohio--Toledo,

Strickland supporter says recovery will take time Dear Editor, Remember the tortoise and the hare? The ‘razzle dazzle’ hare looked good and thought he could win without hard work and sacrifice. The tortoise, slowly but surely, stayed focused on what was necessary and won the race. This year’s governor’s race is between fast-talking, no substance John Kasich and honest, hard-working Ted Strickland. Strickland says that coming out of the recession and getting people back to work will require hard, steady, focused

attention on preserving and creating jobs in Ohio. Kasich, like the old-fashioned snake oil salesman, tells us that he can do it all with his eyes shut - he’ll just wave some magic fairy dust and Ohians will be back to work, taxes will go down, our kids will be smarter, and none of us will ever get old. C’mon, are we really that gullible? It may not be exciting, but I’ll back the tortoise over the hare every time. I’m voting for Strickland. Patrick Hornschemeier Georgetown

Strickland helps students, Kasich has helped himself Dear Editor, What has Ted Strickland done: froze college tuition for two years, cut property taxes for seniors, invested in new technology job creation, expanded health care for folks without insurance, and has been nationally recognized for K-12 education reforms. What has John Kasich done: voted in Congress to outsource jobs to China and

Mexico, made millions on Wall Street pushing getquick-rich schemes that crippled the American economy, spouted radical right wing dogma as a TV talking-head, and sat on a corporate board that sent Ohio jobs offshore. That’s why Ohio people are unemployed. Judith L. Gray Ripley

Cleveland, Dayton, and Youngstown. Also according to Forbes, Ohio is 47th in its prospects for growth in areas like job creation, income growth, and business openings. Ohio tops the country, according to ABC News, with the number of most “downsized” cities. Since Ted Strickland took office, according to the Ohio Department of Development, 22,920 businesses have disappeared. If the economy is growing so much, why are so many people leaving the state that we will lose two congressional seats at minimum? According to the Thomas Fordham Institute, 58% of Ohio college students are planning on leaving the state after graduating. Ohio lost 6,981 of our best and brightest between the ages of 25 and 34 in 2008 alone, according to the Columbus Dispatch. According to the Tax Foundation, Ohio is now 47th in business tax climate, causing businesses like NCR and others to leave after being here for decades. CNBC rates Ohio as 48th lowest in number of available workers and success of work training programs in the state. Yeah, the jobs candidate has done real well, hasn’t he? Look around in our own area at the shops and business closings on Ted’s watch. DHL, Ford, etc., and all the layoffs. Does this sound like growth to you? And Taxes? As Ochocinco would say, “Child please.” Ohio has the 7th highest state and local tax burden, according to the Tax Foundation and is rated 49th in economic performance on the 2010 ALEC-

LAFFER State economic competitiveness index. Ted Strickland the candidate said he viewed raising fees and license costs as taxes and would not do such a thing. Fees have risen almost every year since he has been governor. He also, along with the Ohio Senate, decided to retroactively raise our state income taxes. You can find that in the public record. Then there are the scandals. His director of faith based initiatives was busted for sexual misconduct and prostitution felony charges. His administration lost the data of over a million Ohioans. He allowed drunken inmates running drugs to work in his home, and when these inmates were going to be arrested, his administration squashed the sting operation to arrest them, supposedly for the safety of the governor, or at least his reputation. And outsourcing? Ted Strickland knowingly went with a Texas company that outsourced jobs to El Salvador to handle the cash for appliances program. What about those Ohio jobs? Ted Strickland has screamed that people who disagree with him hate Ohio and the country. His running mate in Brown County said that people who want a better Ohio are just angry and loud. Ted Strickland has not turned around Ohio. He has spun it into the toilet. It is time for a new day and a new way. That’s why I will be voting for Kasich and Taylor in November.

What Do You Think? "Do you think political TV commercials effect the way you vote?

Definitely yes, there is too much controversy on both sides, you don't know who to believe. Show me some definite proof! Daryl Everetts Good Hope

Yes I think they effect the way I vote, I believe hearing their names a lot and what they say causes me to remember that name when I vote. Jamie Dales-Reynolds Williamsburg

I don't think they effect the way I vote because it's just one opinion, and it's a commercial. Bianyka Clark Sardinia

To be honest, when those commercials come on I just tune them out or start channel surfing then go back to the channel when it's over. Christy Colliver Georgetown

Those political commercials aggravate me, especially the way they show them over and over. You don't know if they're telling the truth or not, so I don't think they effect me one way or another. Juanita Sparrow Mt. Orab

Yes it effects the way I vote, I think that just hearing it, rather it good or bad, it leaves an impact on me and makes me think about it more. I like hearing different perspectives. Kattie Helton Williamsburg

Former Aberdeen clerk says her hands are clean Dear Editor, I was the Utility Clerk for the Village of Aberdeen from October 2006 until June 14, 2010, when the position was eliminated. I’m sure I’ve made thousands of adjustments in the water, sewage and garbage accounts during that time. I was the one who had to build new accounts for every customer when the water meters were installed and new software was needed for billing. It was a gargantuan project and some of the meters didn’t work correctly or not at all for a long time. I called the one man on the council that I trust, Jay Castle, and asked about the concerns he had about the adjustments according to the article in the Ledger Independent issue on Sept. 8, 2010. He assured me that his comment about the adjustment had nothing to do with me. He assured me that the Auditor from the Ohio State Auditors office had found nothing amiss nor missing, nor incorrect nor illegal in the scheduled yearly auditing of my office. I had been informed that the Ohio State

Auditor had accepted my audit for 2009 without question or concern just as in the years before. I assured Jay that I take anything to do with questioning my work personally, but I am happy to answer questions concerning it. All adjustments made while I was Utility Clerk had 100 percent documentation for each adjustment, signed by the administrator at the time and presented to the Ohio auditor for examination. One hundred percent without fail. I made proper, needed adjustments and corrections to the accounts. To try and assign a dollar value to them is misleading. The new council chose to “vote me off the island”. I assure the village that they do not have a knight in shining armor on this council. These comments made by some of the council members are bogus and self-serving to their personal purpose. I miss seeing my fellow villagers and wish them all the best.

I had the great pleasure of being one of the judges at the first talent show at the Brown County Fair last week. From what Brian Elliott of MAX FM tells me, the reaction of the crowd and the number of participants convinced the Fair Board to bring the event back next year, possibly with bigger prizes for the winners. That sounds like a great idea to me. I had a lot of fun watching and listening to acts from all over entertain the crowd. The hard part was judging them, of course. Some people had better singing voices, but others performed with more energy. Some connected with the audience better than others. In the end, a great group of ten finalists was chosen Thursday night. That led to another great night on Saturday, where we had a tie for first and fifth places and ended up with a sing (and dance) off. I especially admire the courage that some of the younger performers showed in getting up on stage. It takes a lot of guts to sing in front of hundreds of people, especially if you are eight or nine years old.

Thanking Strickland for education efforts Dear Editor: On Sept. 28, at approximately 9:20 am, I cast my vote to re-elect Governor Strickland. Though technically I could have waited until Nov. 2 to give the ultimate support to Governor Strickland, I wanted to take the first available opportunity I had to thank Governor Strickland for all that he has done for me and for my children. Though I could enumerate multiple ways in which Governor Strickland has helped our state, since I am an educator and the mother of five children, my gratitude centers around the quality work the governor has done for our education system in Ohio. Say let me take a few minutes to say “Thank you, Ted,” for the following: For freezing college tuition for two years then holding increases to a minimum after that two year period. With two children in college, every increase hits us doubly hard. Thanks to you, our family was protected from the tuition hikes that hit the rest of the country. During your term as Governor, four-year schools nationwide saw average tuition increases of about 6.5 percent. Ohio’s was about 1 percent. Two year schools rose by about 7.3 percent while Ohio’s community colleges averaged only about a 0.7 percent increase. In addition, we had the lowest four-

year rate of tuition growth in our Ohio schools since about 1960. Thank you, Ted. For bringing our Ohio schools $400,000,000 through Race to the Top funding. Only nine states plus the District of Columbia received Race to the Top funding during the second round of the grant (and only two states in the first round). This is a testament to the changes you made in HB1 concerning the way we educate our students. Since I worked with you side by side in presenting our application to the federal reviewers, I saw firsthand your commitment to the students in our states and the educators who work diligently to provide our students with the best. Your commitment to education is what has enabled Ohio to move from 27th in the nation in a ranking by Education Week when you first took office to 5th in the nation. Thank you, Ted. For finally creating a school funding system that is constitutional! In the ten-year period from 1997-2007, our school funding system was declared unconstitutional four times!!! You are the governor who decided to fix that by creating a funding system that is evidence-based and allocates money based upon what a child needs for a quality education. Your model increases the state share of education funding from 48

Desperate leftists using propaganda to survive Dear Editor, Winston Churchill once stated, ‘Any man who is in his twenties, and is not a liberal, has no heart. Any man who is in his thirties, and is not a conservative, has no brain.” The dear Prime Minister was a wonderfully wise man. His witty observation holds so true, especially in a a time when many liberals are trying desperately to sell their ideology to the general public and many of the general public recognized the failures of the left’s agendas. This is especially so since a number of the left’s spokespeople are jumping ship: i.e. Dennis Miller recently and David Horowitz a while back are two that come to mind. Even Tim Russert, the host of Face the Nation and a fellow who saw himself as a political liberal, was noted for observing the unraveling of the Left and it’s desperation to try and slant the mainstream media news coverage in it’s favor. What it appears to come down to is a matter of policy failure and an effort to try and save face. Socialism does not work! It never has worked! The Left is desperate to try and prove that it can work! But in order to accomplish this it has to bombard the public with a propaganda campaign to change public opinion. It occurs at every turn - in the media and in most of higher education, the ideological menu for today is socialist in flavor.

I recently heard about a professor at a small college in Ohio who was black listed by the administration for criticizing Governor Strickland and President Obama, or rather criticizing some of their policy strategies. The administration wanted him to follow along with the school’s much more socialist viewpoint on political matters. When he refused he was placed on ‘academic probation’ for not being pluralistic enough. (So now we see that a gag order is in place for conservatives, huh?!) And all this time I’ve been thinking that academic freedom applied to everybody. Go figure! Then again, this is not an uncommon occurrence among the institutions of higher learning - it happens quite often under the guise of ‘pluralism’ or ‘academic freedom’ and is the complete antithesis of such ideas. Why does it occur? Due to the fact that our friends on the Left have this idea that indoctrination is needed in place of education to protect their position. Education is about presenting the material in it’s entirety, not picking and choosing the information. Presenting the news means giving all sides of an issue, not giving the side you prefer. Be aware, friends, of just how stacked the deck happens to be in the Left’s attempt to sell an idea to the public. Rev. Sam Talley

percent to 61 percent eventually reducing the reliance on local property taxes once the formula is fully implemented and funded. Thank you, Ted. For protecting school funding during one of the worst national economic times we have experienced. While other states were slashing education funding, you recognized that the key to economic growth is a strong education system and kept school funding stable. Thank you, Ted. For HB1 which puts an emphasis on college and career readiness for all students. Your vision for education includes adopting Core Curriculum standards, changing the licensure system to reflect teacher growth, determining student growth measures, supplying supports for beginning teachers, implementing new graduation requirements including endof-course exams, and numer-

ous other measures that may sometimes be difficult to understand but should all lead to increased student achievement. Your leadership in education reform earned Ohio the Frank Newman Award from the Education Commission for the States for excellence in shaping education policies. Thank you, Ted! As an educator, I am thrilled that we finally have a Governor who not only calls himself an Education Governor but actually puts some action behind his words. Ohio has made so much progress in doing what is best for our students. We cannot afford to let that success slip away. Please join me in supporting Governor Strickland for a second term.

Reader questions police professionalism, politeness Dear Editor, Recently I had the misfortune of dealing with our local police agencies on several issues. The Brown County Sheriff's dept., the Georgetown Police dept. and the State Police have very rude, unprofessional policemen who need to attend training courses on how to deal with the public. I have 20 years experience working with the Clermont County Gen. Health Dist. and I have never treated the public the way these untrained thugs have treated me. The first case involved a run-away girl from Highland County. Somebody at Mt. Orab Kroger saw my son with a girl who they thought was the run-away girl. The Sheriff came to my house while I was having a family reunion. I told him that my son's girlfriend is not the runaway girl. He interrupted me and told me if I was lying, he would arrest me and take me to jail. How rude! My wife came out and he said the same thing to her. We showed the girl to him and she did not look at all like the runaway. I was embarrassed in front of all my family and treated like a criminal and I have a clean record and am a very polite person. The second incident involves the Georgetown Police dept. While trying to talk to officers Kendall Kumpf and Shaun Inlow, I was treated very rudely and ordered to leave while being told that they didn't have to answer anything and Kendall Kumpf acted like he was going to do something physical to me by getting right up to me and

Next week I will write about how the state police handled a child hit by a car on my road. Until these police agencies get better training and learn how to properly deal with the public, I will not have anything to do with them and they need to stay off of my farm unless they have a warrant. Surely other people must feel the same as me. Brian Gibson Green Twp.

Ohio farmers eligible for federal disaster assistance Farmers in Brown, Clermont and 77 other counties are now eligible to receive disaster assistance. U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Secretary Tom Vilsack declared 41 Ohio counties to be primary natural disaster areas and the additional 38 as contiguous disaster counties. Brown and Clermont counties were considered primary natural disaster areas. Ohio Governor Ted Strickland requested a disaster designation from the USDA due to state agricultur-

al losses caused by several natural disasters in 2010. The available assistance includes Farm Service Agency (FSA) emergency loans and the Supplemental Revenue Assistance Payments (SURE) Program. Farmers in these eligible counties have eight months from the date of this disaster declaration to apply for emergency loan assistance. For more information, farmers should contact their local FSA. A list of the 79 counties is available at www.agri.ohio.gov

Deadline extended for applying for vet benefits Shortly after the original story was released focusing on the deadline for a stop loss benefit for veterans, Congress approved an extension. Now, eligible service members, veterans and their beneficiaries now have until Dec. 3, 2010 to apply for retroactive stop loss special

pay following an extension in the continuing resolution signed by the president Sept. 30. The new Dec. 3 deadline extends the original Oct. 21 cutoff for applications and allows eligible recipients more time to apply for the benefit.

THE LORD’S PRAYER In the book of Jude it records the first profession of the world. It is the preaching of the man Enoch, the seventh from Adam. He was a prophet; he was a professional; he was a preacher and this was his message. Jude verses 14-15: “And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and all of their hard speeches which ungodly sinners has spoken against him.” This is not talking, ladies and gentlemen, about the Rapture which is a happy exciting occasion which we are looking forward to. This is talking about the period after the Tribulation is over. The Rapture, which will happen before the Great Tribulation, is told about in Thessalonians 4. In verses 16-17 it states: “...and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.” But following the Rapture comes the seven years of great tribulation. And when that Great Tribulation comes to an end that prayer which I learned as a boy will take place. It says: “Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed by thy name. Thy kingdom come...” That three word sentence “Thy kingdom come” is what I want to talk about today. It is the party of that prayer which will then be answered. It is not going to be what some people think it will be when that King comes. Look with me in Zechariah 14: “Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee. For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken..” Verse 3: “Then shall the Lord go forth...” That battle will already be taking place when the Lord intervenes. “...and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.” America might think it is in charge but the real question is: What will God do with America and what will He do with Israel? He will settle the issue, not us. Mark it down, there will be no peace in Jerusalem until Jesus brings it about. And when He

DR. CHARLES SMITH MT. ORAB BIBLE BAPTIST CHURCH www.bbcmtorab.com speaks about all nations He means all nations! That includes America. He will gather all nations against Jerusalem and then He will step in and fight against those nations! He will fight for His people Israel. And this will be a different kind of battle. In verse 4 it tells us that the Lord will put His feet upon the mount of Olives and it will split to the East, West, North, and South “...and there shall be a very great valley...” Then in verse 8 it tells us: “And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out of Jerusalem...” Verse 9: “And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be no more utter destruction; but Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited. And this shall be the plague wherewith the LORD will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.” The atom bomb was a horrible thing which burnt the flesh right off of people. In my mind it is the only thing that I can compare this horrendous plague with. When God brings His fierce judgment upon this world in that Great Day of the LORD the Bible says it will be a day like no other day. It is recorded in the book of Revelation as the battle of Armageddon! It is recorded in the book of Joel as that Great Day of the LORD! Are you sure you want to be here? Are you sure that you are not ready yet to receive Christ as your Saviour? Do you really want to wait? What if the Rapture happens tonight? Will you be here when that plague consumes their flesh while they yet stand upon their feet? I pray not.

UC Clermont College’s enrollment topped 4000 students for the first time in its 38-year history when classes began September 22. This is a nine percent increase in enrollment over the previous fall term. When the college opened in 1972 – the enrollment was less than 300 students all housed in one building.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 charged by Little back in April with two felony counts of tampering with records and one misdemeanor count of falsification. The charges were dropped by Little back in May because she is also prosecuting his superiors. To avoid having any information from their prosecution unfairly tainting Wright’s case, Little asked that Adams County Assistant Prosecuting Attorney David Kelley be named to conduct a fresh investigation into

Wright’s case. So far, Kelley has not sought an indictment against Wright, who returned to his duties as a Wildlife Officer in May. The case began in October of 2009 when the IG office received a complaint about Wright’s alleged activities from a confidential informant. After a five month investigation, the IG office issued a report that said Wright’s superiors “ignored the criminal violation of falsification and decided to handle the violation with an administrative investi-

"Residents will actually be voting to give council the authority to negotiate with current natural gas and electric companies on what residents and businesses should be

There's really no down side to this offer." Holmes said he has negotiated successfully in other municipalities including Pomeroy, Pickerington and Albany. If the proposals pass in November, council will begin immediate negotiations with Duke Energy and AEP (American Electric Power).

Back in April, Little said she charged the five because “They ignored criminal activity and tried to sweep it under the rug”.

Wounded Western Broncos hold on for 36-32 win over Warriors Despite battling a rash of injuries to key personnel, the Western Broncos evened their record with a 36-32 victory over the Goshen Warriors last Friday. “It’s a test, but this time we came away with the win,” said Western coach Evan Dreyer. “With all the adversity we’re still sitting at 3-3. We are finding ways to win.” The Broncos started strong defensively against the Warriors, forcing two early turnovers. On Goshen’s first drive, quarterback Jamie fumbled and Ashcraft Western’s Justin Dillinger recovered. The Broncos offense went three-and-out, however, punting the ball back to the Warriors. Goshen went three-and-out as well, losing ground on a sack by Spencer Howard on third down. The Broncos’ Jordan Haggerty blocked Ryan Ashcraft’s punt, giving Western possession at the Warriors’ 14-yard line. Three plays later, Nick Woodyard tossed a perfect pass to the back corner of the end zone. Devin Wood caught the pass for a 10-yard touchdown. Brad Rhodes missed the PAT, but the Broncos grabbed a 6-0 edge with 4:41 left in the first frame. After Western was unsuccessful with an onside kick, Goshen took over at midfield. but on the first play from scrimmage, the Warriors coughed it up again. Matt Canter recovered for the

Broncos at Western’s 48-yard line. The Bronco offense penetrated to the Goshen 20 before turning the ball over on downs. The Warriors’ next possession resulted in a turnover on downs at the Western 45. Woodyard found Jake Banfil three times on the Broncos’ next drive but two sacks stalled the Western attack. Rhodes attempted a 41-yard field goal, but the kick fell just short, turning the ball back over to Goshen. The Warriors’ ground game was successful on the next possession as Goshen marched 80 yards in three minutes. Jamie Ashcraft scored from one-yard out and Marcus Casey made good on the try for two, giving the Warriors an 8-6 lead with 7:51 left in the half. Kendal Klinginsmith recovered the ensuing onside kick for the Broncos, who began their next drive at midfield. Woodyard found Banfil once and Rhodes twice through the air, moving the ball to the Goshen 13. After two incomplete passes, Rhodes attempted a 30-yard field goal. The kick missed, turing the ball back over to the Warriors. On the second play from scrimmage, Casey bolted 77 yards. Aaron Worley plunged in from two-yards away for a touchdown. The try for two failed, but the Warriors led 146 with 5:09 left in the second stanza. The next drive for the Broncos started at their own 41. Woodyard found Banfil four times in the possession.

The Brown County Press/RITCHIE BUTLER

The Broncos broke out for their second straight Southern Buckeye Conference win las Friday, defeating the Goshen Warriors by a score of 36-32. the Western offense totaled 331 yards from scrimmage on the night.

The last was a lofted pass on a fade route which Banfil hauled in for a 22-yard touchdown. The try for two was unsuccessful and with 2:50 remaining in the half, Western trailed by two at 14-12. Goshen recovered an onside kick and began with good field position again. But on the second play of the possession, the Warriors fumbled and Gunner Patton recovered for the Broncos. Western made good on the short field with a three-play scoring drive which ended with a three-yard touchdown strike from Woodyard to Rhodes. The PAT was good, putting Western in front, 1914 with 2:12 left in the half. Time ran out on the Warriors and the half ended with the Broncos on top by five. Western received the second-half opening kick and started at its own 20. The offense sustained an 11-play, 3:18 drive. Woodyard found Rhodes through the air four times in the possession before hooking up with Banfil again. This time for a 24-yard touchdown. Rhodes’ kick split the uprights, giving the Broncos a 26-14 advantage with 8:42 remaining in the third period. Goshen answered with a 64-yard scoring drive lasting four minutes. Worley capped the possession with a 10-yard touchdown run. The try for two was no good and Western held a 26-20 lead. The SBC rivals’ next two possessions resulted in turnovers on downs. After Western was forced to punt on its next touch, Goshen

started on the Western 34-yard line. The Warriors took advantage of the good field position, scoring in six plays when Casey ran four yards for a score. The PAT was wide, but with 3:28 left in the game, the score was knotted at 26-26. The Broncos started their next drive at their own 40yard line and gained nine yards on three plays. Staring at fourth-and-1, Dreyer decided to go for the first down. The risk paid off as Woodyard scampered for 51 yards and a touchdown. Rhodes made the PAT, putting the Broncos on top, 33-26. Goshen had a short return on the ensuing kickoff, starting its next possession a its own 37-yard line. After an incomplete pass, Haggerty came up with his second turnover of the night, picking off a Jamie Ashcraft pass and returning the ball 30 yards. After the referees tacked on yards for an unsportsmanlike conduct against the Warriors, Western started at Goshen’s eight-yard line. After three consecutive keepers by Woodyard, Rhodes made a 21-yard field goal, giving the Broncos some breathing room at 36-26 with 1:24 left in the game. It proved to be a good thing. Jamie Ashcraft hit Casey for a 66-yard gain on the first play from scrimmage, setting up Casey’s two-yard touchdown run. The try for two failed, but with 51 seconds left, Western clung to a 36-32 lead. The Broncos recovered the onside kick and Woodyard kneeled with the ball twice, securing the 36-32 SBC victory. “Nick is getting better with each passing week,” said Dreyer. “Banfil had a great game and Rhodes is finally 100 percent. Wood caught a touchdown pass for the second game in a row and our slot receivers are coming together. We made some bad reads tonight, but we will work on that this week as we prepare for our third physical game in a row.” Woodyard threw for 264 yards on 28-of-43 attempts. He also led the Broncos on the ground with 65 yards on 24 carries. Banfil had 14 catches for 155 yards. Rhodes added 10 receptions for 76 yards. The Western defense allowed 103 passing yards and 358 rushing yards to the Warriors. The win lifted Western to 33 overall, 2-1 in the SBC.

a match score of 3-1 on Monday. “We played as a unit tonight,” said Eastern coach Carmela Reeves. “We really embrace the team concept and everybody contributed to the win.”

The Brown County Press/RITCHIE BUTLER

Eastern’s Emily Turner makes a set during the Lady Warriors’ SHL win over Lynchburg on Monday.

Game one was a seesaw battle between Eastern and Lynchburg. The two SHL rivals were tied 11 times and the lead changed hands five times in the tight opening game. Neither team was able to grab any momentum throughout. After Lynchburg tied the score at 24-24, Eastern claimed the final two points and the game, winning 26-24. Game two also had some bonus volleyball, as it took the Lady Warriors extra points to win the game 27-25. Eastern had control of the game most of the way, leading by eight at 24-16. But the Lady Warriors could not put the Lady Mustangs away as Lynchburg reeled off nine consecutive points, claiming a 25-24 advantage. The Lady Warriors dug in, stopping the streak and winning the next two points, eventually winning the game and taking a 20 match lead. “We had a little lapse in game two,” said Reeves. “but we pulled together and got the win.” Game three was another close contest, but this time the results favored the Lady Mustangs. Trailing 24-21, the Lady Warriors fought back behind the good serving of Lauren Ballou, tying the score at 24-24. Lynchburg won the final two points, claiming the

game three victory. “This was Lauren’s first full match back after her injury,” said Reeves. “Emily Turner did a remarkable job in her absence.” Game four was all Eastern.

The Lady Warriors served well and played the net well the entire game. Heather Bayer and Taylor Doss had good service games. Bayer had two aces in the game. In the end, the Lady Warriors

captured a 25-13 game win and a 3-1 match victory. “Our defense was sound tonight,” added Reeves. “We made some nice blocks and some nice digs against their big hitter.”

Western’s Danika Ratcliff attempts a block against Bethel’s Dominique Gossett during the Lady Broncos’ win.

The Western Lady Broncos remained unbeaten in Southern Buckeye Conference play by defeating the Bethel Lady Tigers last week, 3-0. “We did a better job of playing our game tonight with more consistency,” said Western coach Heather Cooper. “We did a nice job of covering our hitters and putting together the pass, set and spike.” Western jumped out to a 10point lead after Ali Hiler made good on four straight service points. Danika Ratcliff played a nice defensive game at the net, leading the Lady Broncos to a 25-16 game one win. In game two, Western got strong serving early from Mariah Carroll and Elizabeth Carter. Carroll reeled off five consecutive points, including an ace. Carter made good on three straight points with two aces as the Lady Broncos’ lead

grew to 12-3. With Western on top 22-12, Bethel got hot, closing the gap to 23-17. But Ratcliff ended the game with a monstrous spike, giving Western a 25-17 win. “Bethel always plays good defense,” said Cooper. “They played hard and never quit.” The Lady Broncos had a tough time of it at the end of game three. After Western’s hitters got going and pushed the lead to 19-11, the Lady Tigers outscored the visitors 11-4, making the score 23-22 in favor of the Lady Broncos. The Western squad got a much needed side out and Alli Morgan ended the game with a jump-serve ace, giving the Lady Broncos a 25-22 game win and a 3-0 match victory. “Overall, we served well, hitting our spots,” added Cooper. “We struggled outside at times, but they adjusted and compensated for their errors.” The win lifted Western to 13-5 overall, 6-0 in the SBC.

Eastern Warriors, St. Patrick’s Saints play to a 6-6 tie By Ritchie Butler The Brown County Press The Eastern Warriors and the St. Patrick’s Saints hooked up in a non-league soccer match on Tuesday, giving the fans their money’s worth with a 6-6 shootout. “We should have scored more than we did,” said Eastern coach Dylan Fain. “We had seven or eight one-

on-ones with the keeper that we didn’t finish.” The Warriors struck early and often against the Saints on a blustery evening at Eastern. Chase Lawson got things started when he broke away from the pack and netted a shot from 18-yards out, giving the Warriors a 1-0 edge with 33:33 left in the first half. Landan Hauke added the Warriors second goal, also on a break away, with 28:31 remaining in the opening frame. Hauke struck again 32 seconds later with another break away goal, giving the Warriors a 3-0 advantage. St. Patrick’s found the net

with 11:57 left in the half, cutting the Eastern lead to 3-1. Jordan Payne responded for the Warriors, making a shot after receiving a cross from Nathan Scott. With 7:10 showing on the first-half clock, Eastern held a 4-1 lead. The Saints cut it to 4-2 with just over four minutes left in the half, connecting on a 35yard bomb. The second half started much like the first. Less than five minutes in, Conner Purdin headed in a shot off a

corner kick by Lawson, putting the Warriors on top, 5-2. St. Patrick’s answered with a break away goal less than 30 seconds later, cutting the Eastern advantage to 5-3. With 32:14 remaining in the game, Payne scored off a long lead pass from Lawson, pushing the Warriors’ lead back to three, at 6-3. Again, the Saints were able to find the net with another long shot with 31:09 left to be played. The teams were scoreless

for almost 20 minutes before St. Patrick’s scored with 12:26 remaining. The Saints got their final goal with 2:32 showing on the clock, knotting the score at 66. Despite furious attempts from both teams, that’s how it ended. “St. Patrick’s had some nice shots, but our defense was lacking and allowed four of those goals,” said Fain. “Our fundamentals weren’t there tonight.”

One glaring difference in the game was the high number of offsides penalties whistled against the Warriors, many of which stopped Eastern break away attempts. “They ran an offsides trap, which we haven’t seen in a long, long time,” added Fain. With the tie, Eastern moves to 4-7-3 overall on the season. The Warriors stand at 2-2-1 in the Southern Hills League.

Lady Rockets rolling in SHL play Seniors Sheets, Stahl set new Fayetteville records five aces. Elliott got her serve back against Manchester, added five aces of her own. Sheets had four digs on the night. Stahl dished out 17 assists. “Sometimes the unexpected events build the memories that make a team a team,” said coach Sheets. Only she wasn’t necessarily referring to the good two days of volleyball from her team. She was talking about the ride home. The Fayetteville team bus experienced some mechanical difficulties on the way home. The bus broke down on Route 52, leaving the Lady Rockets seemingly stranded. Minutes later, two Manchester players stopped, offering assistance. While they were on their way back to school, the Manchester Athletic Director stopped and

arranged transportation for the Fayetteville team back to Manchester School. Coach Sheets phoned the Fayetteville Athletic Director, who arranged for another bus to come down and pick up the team. While the Lady Rockets were waiting, the Manchester folks set the team up in the school’s rotunda, providing them with some television entertainment, food and drinks. The Lady Rockets arrived safely back in Fayetteville at 10:45 p.m. “It just goes to show the sportsmanship and togetherness the SHL offers,” added Sheets.

The Fayetteville Lady Rockets continue to rack up Southern Hills League volleyball wins this season, running their league mark to 9-0 after wins over Fairfield and Manchester this week. “Two of our seniors had big nights in the win over Fairfield,” said Fayetteville coach Sharon Sheets. Emily Stahl and Shelby Sheets set Fayetteville records versus the Lady Lions. Stahl recorded 26 assists and Sheets had 22 kills in the 4-1 victory over Fairfield. After dropping the first game, 25-14, the Lady Rockets put it all together in games two and three, winning 25-15 in both. The fourth game was a battle which saw extra volleyball

being played. The Lady Rockets prevailed in the end, winning the game 29-27 and taking the match by a score of 3-1. In addition to the recordsetting performances from Stahl and Sheets, Gabby Valentine added four kills and also served up four aces. Fellow senior Haley Elliott led the team with four digs against the Lady Lions. On Tuesday, Fayetteville traveled to Manchester and defeated the Lady Greyhounds by a match score of 3-0. The Lady Rockets played well again, downing the Lady Greyhounds by scores of 2514, 25-19 and 25-15. Sheets led the offense with 11 kills. Valentine and Kathryn Fitzpatrick added five kills each. Valentine had another good night behind the service line, making good on

“The Sniper” Wayne Chinn won the Sunesis Construction Late Model feature last Friday at Moler Raceway Park.

By Mike Goins Moler Raceway Park In what was the final regular race of the season at Moler Raceway Park, there was a full pit of cars on hand in all divisions, trying to take home the extra money. In the Sunesis Construction Late Models, there were 18 cars with Barry Doss and Chad Stapleton claiming heatrace victories. In the feature event it was Stapleton out front at the drop of the green but it was “The Sniper” Wayne Chinn in pursuit as the CJ Rayburn chassis Erwin Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge sponsored Gary Engle owned machine took the lead on lap 7 and cruised on to his third victory of the season at MRP. Following Chinn across the line was late-model rookie Jeremie Bretz coming home second with Stapleton, Dillon Huron, and John Whitney, Jr., rounding out the top five. A very large field of Mt Orab Ford Modifieds were on hand as they were all gunning for the $1,000 paycheck on the line, as well as those valuable UMP points. In heat races, it was Doug Adkins, Devin Gilpin, Dave McWilliams and Jeremy Rayburn all claiming victories, while Shane Mugavin and Jerry Lawson claimed wins in the B-main events. With the field of 33 narrowed down to 20 for the starting lineup, it looked as though the fans were in for a great race. On the first start it was Rayburn having problems with McWilliams and Gilpin going three-wide through turn two. McWilliams made contact with Gilpin, suffering sus-

pension damage and ending his night. On the restart, with Rayburn and Gilpin out and McWilliams on the tail, it was now Shaun Scott on the pole with Adkins on the outside. At the green Scott would jump out front but Adkins took the lead by the end of lap number one. The man on the move was Aurora, Indiana’s Matt Hamilton, as he quickly moved through the field from eighth spot up to second position. A lap seven restart doomed Hamilton as he had a mechanical failure, ending his night. Adkins went on to lead the rest of the race and claim his fourth feature win of the season at MRP in his 239 Auto Group, Estes Race Engines, Poske Performance Parts sponsored machine. Scott came home second, followed by Doss, Ron Hyer, and McWilliams rounding out the top five. In the Holman Motors Chevettes, it came down to the final race to determine the track champion as Miles Tarvin and Jeff Watson fought to the end. At the end of the night, it was Tarvin winning the battle as he claimed his seventh feature of the season. But Watson won the war as he placed third in the feature to narrowly win the track championship. On the night, it was Tarvin taking the lead from Scott Ramp on lap eight, going on to win the feature. Following Tarvin across the line was Ramp, Watson, Yarger, and Sean Jones. Ronnie Choate, Jr., Yarger and Ramp were heat-race winners. Derek

Davis won the B Main. In the US Race Gear Street Stocks, it was a full field of cars as there were enough cars for a B-main for the first time this season. In heat race action, things got exciting as Jeremie Bretz and Mark Kaetzel made contact coming for the checkered flag in their heat race with Bretz taking the win. Laurelville, Ohio’s Jamey Adams and Jeremie Scott were also victorious in heatrace action, while Bill Crabtree was winner of the Bmain. In the feature it was Bretz out front from the start with Adams in pursuit. Adams took the lead on lap 15, but Bretz reclaimed the lead on lap 18. Adams got into the outside wall on the final lap heading into turn three, doing major damage to his car and causing a one-lap shootout between Bretz and Scott. Bretz captured his 11th street stock feature win of the season with Scott, Wayne Hughes, Bruce Gray, Jr., and Richard Trego rounding out the top five. Congratulations to our 2010 Track Champions: Sunesis Construction Late Models Track Champion Barry Doss; Holman Motors Chevette Track Champion Jeff Watson; U.S. Race Gear’s Street Stock Champion Jeremie Bretz; Mt. Orab Ford UMP Modified Champion as well as National UMP Champion, Devin Gilpen. Thanks everyone for a Wonderful 2010. Hopefully we’ll see you at our Turkey Gobbler on Nov. 20, details to follow at www.molerracewaypark.com.

On Wednesday evening the Fayetteville Lady Rockets took on their divisional rivals, the Lynchburg Clay Lady Mustangs. The game kicked off to a cheering Fayetteville senior night crowd, but it was all Lynchburg right from the start. Fayetteville’s troubles would begin just five minutes and fifteen seconds into the game. Lynchburg’s Hanna West would be credited with the score but the Lady Mustangs first goal came off a Fayetteville flubbed kick into their own goal. Luck did not change for the Lady Rockets. Lynchburg came early and they came often, scoring two more goals before the end of the first half. The first, off a body shot by Karen Hilt at the 23:59 mark, and the last on a whopping direct kick from Meredith Fittro into the goal from almost midfield. At the half, coach Dennis West told his Lady Mustangs “Keep offensive pressure, but be ready on defense because they are going to come right after us.” That’s exactly what the Fayetteville Lady Rockets did. Playing both solid offense and defense, coach Jim Schmidt’s Lady Rockets fought their way back into the game. The girls held Lynchburg to a scoreless second half, and punched in two scores of their own, bringing Lynchburg’s lead to just one. Fayetteville’s first goal of the game came just over

seven minutes into the second half as Lexi Wiederhold scored off of an assist from teammate Tori Huber. Lynchburg tried to fight back, but just couldn’t find the momentum they had in the first half. The Lady Rockets were firing on all cylinders, scoring their second goal off a tremendous kick from Abby Rowe through a crowd of defenders. As time ran down, the ticks on the clock were posting trou-

ble for the Lady Rockets. They still needed one goal to tie the game. Despite several attempts, that goal would just not come in time. The Lynchburg Clay Lady Mustangs took the divisional win with the score of 3-2. After the game, Fayetteville assistant coach Russ Ward stated, “Give Lynchburg credit, they came to play, and played well”. This was Fayetteville’s second league loss.

Cornerback Eean Hornung returned an intercepted Astro pass 56 yards to round out the scoring for the team. Coaches Rick and Dustin Dean credit the offensive and defensive lines for outstanding play. The 8th-grade team fell to 14 with a devastating 34-0 loss to the Astros. The Broncos chances were thwarted by untimely turnovers. Linebacker

Josh Young recovered one fumble to help lead the defense. The 7th-grade MOMS football team suffered its first loss of the year with a 22-14 setback to the Goshen Warriors. Both teams came into the night with identical 5-0 records, but it was Goshen who walked away with the win and sole possession of first place in the SBC. Hensley ran for one touchdown and threw for another to lead the Broncos. CJ Barkley had one TD reception with Hornung scoring on a two-point conversion. The team's record now stands at 5-1 with two games

remaining. The 8th-grade team notched its second win of the season with a 20-14 victory over Goshen. The Broncos marched 96 yards on their final drive in the 4th quarter to seal the win. Nick Osborne ran for two touchdowns and passed for one to lead the team. Young recorded one touchdown reception and Layne Mossbacher recorded a two-point conversion.

Cherry Ridge Farms has corn maze This year Cherry Ridge Farms is going wild for Ohio! Jeff and Sherry Mitchell, owners cut out their corn field like our beautiful state, and filled it with cities and destination stations with tricky questions about the many critters that share this bountiful and diverse land with us. “Each year we try to do something unique and this year we’ve had fun using Ohio as our theme. Our school field trip kids get to come out to our great Outdoor Classroom and not only learn but have fun in a very unique way,” says Sherry Mitchell, owner. “You might get lost, but you’ll definitely have fun, and test your critter knowledge.” In addition, at the pumpkin patch the Wild Ohio theme carries on as you’ll learn about the Native Ohio peoples that were cultivating squashes like pumpkins alongside corn, sunflowers, beans and other important food crops for hundreds of years before the settlers arrived. “We planted a native cultures demonstration garden where you can explore the plants, tools, techniques and structures used by Ohio's first people, “says Mitchell. Then pick out the perfect pumpkin to take home for your special harvest time celebrations! Next, head on up via our

pumpkin patch express hayride to the horse barn tour. Not so long ago, Ohio was a wilderness on the western edge of the American Frontier. The power and versatility of the horse made it an incredibly important tool for the settlers as they set about clearing the land of timber to make farms and settlements. Venture up with us into the stable barn and pastures where we care for our herd of 17 amazing equines. You’ll learn about what makes each breed special and how they still give us so much, and you can meet our rescued pony Tiny Tim, star of a recently published children's book by Mitchell, released this month. (Books available) There will also be food, face painting, sand art, corn box and more. Adults $8; Seniors (over 60) and kids 3-12 $6. Under 3 free. Open Saturday and Sunday 10 a.m. - 6 p.m., Oct. 16, 17 23, and 24 located at 4158 Vinegar Hill Rd. Georgetown. Also visit us at www.cherryridgefarms.org Additional dates and times are available for unique school field trips and flashlight nights with campfires, birthday parties with group discount pricing available by contacting, Kelly at kwatson@zoomtown.com or (513) 732-2159 or (937) 4443757,

Livestock Producers Beware of Frost As we near that first frost of the year livestock producers are advised to take steps to avoid possible problems. There has been more sorghum-sudangrass grown in Southern Ohio in recent years, especially during the drought like years of 2007 and 2008. Livestock producers should be cautious when grazing cattle on crops in the sorghum family immediately following a frost. This includes things that you may not have planted like Johnsongrass. Remember that sudangrass should be at least 18 inches tall before it is considered safe to Sorghum-sudangrass graze. should be 24 inches before it is safe under any conditions. If the crop is safe based on the height then it should be safe to graze after 5 days following a frost. The clinical signs of prussic acid poisoning include rapid pulse, labored breathing and eventual suffocation. Livestock producers should move cattle away from grazing these forages for several days following a frost. Baling or ensiling sudangrass, sorghum-sudangrass hybrids, and grain sorghum

immediately following or shortly after a frost is safe because the prussic acid will breakdown and dissipate during the harvesting process. Grazing alfalfa, clover, and other perennial forages are not a concern following a frost because they do not produce toxins and can be grazed or baled and fed to livestock even after a frost. The only caution will perhaps be a slight chance for ruminants to bloat if grazing pure legume pastures and they should be offered other feedstuffs to avoid over-eating the succulent pasture. Feeding grain or some dry hay prior to turning the livestock onto lush legumes will reduce the risk of bloat, too. Harvesting alfalfa after a killing frost is acceptable only when the plant is going into dormancy. A killing frost occurs when temperatures reach 28 degrees Fahrenheit or lower for 4 hours or more. Dates to Remember Oct. 8 - 4-H Ox Roast held at FOE Building in the Georgetown. Eat-in or carryout. A good meal and fundraiser for Brown Co. 4-H.

The purpose of this Quick Tip is to alert pet owners of the potential danger of animal bites and scratches; not to give human medical advice about bite wound care. Animal bites and injuries must be discussed with and treated by a human physician, as soon as possible, if the injuries are severe. Animals, even welltrained ones, can be unpredictable. Exercise caution when dealing with animals that are stressed, frightened or injured. A pet may exhibit fractious behavior that is not characteristic of "normal" behavior when ill or hurt. Wild animals should not be handled when sick or injured. The best option for wild animals is to call the local animal control or game management for assistance. Bites happen I have seen people brush off injuries sustained from an animal because they are embarrassed or frustrated at getting bit while helping the animal. Human injury is the main reason that many veterinarians do not allow owners to restrain their pets for procedures. Looks can be deceiving At first glance, some injuries may not look like much damage has been done, either. A puncture wound (without tearing of the flesh around it) is usually a small hole that clos-

es quickly. This can be deceiving, as the bacteria and damage are "trapped" below the surface, which can lead to infection. In other instances, diseases may be spread by the bite or scratch, such as Rabies and Cat-Scratch Disease in addition to the problems from the wound itself. Basic wound care: All wounds should be washed

immediately with soap and water. Please see your physician or urgent care for best chances of quick and uneventful healing. If not treated promptly, the signs of infection are: redness or discoloration, swelling, pain, warm-totouch, discharge. All bite wounds should be taken seriously. Please consult with your physician if you have any questions.

Brown Co. Fair in Review WOW!!! What else can be said for the “Little State Fair”? The weather on Monday was a rainy and hurt the crowd on the first day. It rained a little on Saturday late in the day, but the bulk of the week was just outstanding weather. It is the Monday after the fair as I write this everything went very well throughout the week. I know some of the days were record crowds for that particular day. I am not sure about the total attendance, but the crowds were huge, the Jr. Fair Shows and Sales were very well attended and supported. Thanks to all who helped out with the Jr. Fair again this year. If you would like to help out in the future, contact the OSU Extension Office for more information about the 4-H program or other youth organizations that make up the Brown County Jr. Fair. The youth involved in our Jr. Fair may very well be our leaders of the future. Brown Co. 4-H Ox Roast The Brown County 4-H Ox Roast is Friday, Oct. 8. The Ox Roast helps support the 4-H program in the county. It will be held at the F.O.E. building in Georgetown again this year. Come and enjoy good company and good food as the menu will include roast beef and roast pork. The carry out line starts at 4 p.m. and the dining in will begin at 5 p.m. and be open until 7 p.m. or when the food runs out.
