Tincher trial scheduled to start Monday

BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press After being on hold for three weeks, the murder trial of Dallas Tincher begins on Dec. 27 with jury selection.

Sixty potential jurors will report to the courthouse that morning.

Visiting Judge Thomas Nurre will preside over the trial after Common Pleas Judge Scott Gusweiler voluntarily withdrew from the Joseph Hensley and Dallas Tincher murder cases.

Gusweiler made that decision in an answer he filed Dec. 16 with the Supreme

Court of Ohio to Prosecuting Attorney Jessica Little’s

Affidavit of Disqualification asking that Gusweiler be

removed from the cases.

In her affidavit, Little

alleged that Gusweiler was biased against the State.

Nurre is a retired Hamilton County Judge.

He was assigned to the cases as of Dec. 16 by Ohio Supreme Court Chief Justice Eric Brown.

Gusweiler’s voluntary recusal means that Little’s Affidavit of Disqualification will not be ruled on by Chief Justice Brown.

Gusweiler’s response to Little affidavit begins “In order to correct the record, I will respond herein to the allegations contained in Jessica Little’s Affidavit of Disqualification. While I

deny any bias or prejudice to Jessica Little...I will request that another judge be appointed to preside over the trial of this case.”

Gusweiler then begins a response that runs for seven pages.

It begins with him rebutting the argument Little made in her filing that he was “agitated” when he visited her office to discuss the expense surrounding capital murder cases.

“I contacted a fellow judge and asked if he thought it would be appropriate for me to talk to the prosecutor about CONTINUED ON PAGE 5

By Martha Jacob The Brown County Press It was a split decision by members of Eastern Local School Board Dec. 20 not to renew the contract of Superintendent Allan Simmons following an executive session.

Simmons current contract ends July 31, 2011.

Board members Kenneth Kelch and Michael Hoskins voted to renew Simmons’ adjusted contract while board members Martin Yockey, Brian Garrett and Vernon Creighton voted no.

Simmons offered the board an option of working 122 days for approximately $67,000 which would save the district about $60,000. He requested his contract be extended for one year.

“Unfortunately, we don’t really need a part-time superintendent right now with everything that’s going on in our district,” councilman Garrett said. “I think we need to begin looking for a new superintendent right away.”

Following the vote, it was

Terry Lovell and Edward Powers were on their way to a bit of browsing at the Amelia

"We just happened to see smoke and I said that don't look right," Powers said.

At first Powers and Lovell thought the smoke might have been from a chimney, but they

pulled a U-turn in the middle of Main Street to double check. When they got back to the house flames were licking the eaves.

Rockey said after sending off letters to at least seven different companies and receiving 10 bids on a new pumper tanker, he was able to save at least

purchased for $156,500 because we agreed to wait longer to get the one we wanted, which was a demonstrator with less than 1,000 miles on it.”

After council had agreed to the original purchase price of $159,000, Rockey was notified by the Midwest that the company had an opportunity to sell the demonstrator truck to the Dominican Republic and offered Rockey a brand new pumper tanker with all the upgrades he wanted if he could wait for delivery.

“I was really anxious to get the new truck,” said Rockey, “but I figured a savings of $2,500 was substantial enough to wait a couple of months.”

So after a couple of months Rockey and three other firefighters drove to Minnesota and after a four-hour training session, drove the new truck for 19 hours back to Georgetown.

“It’s a great truck and we’re proud to have it,” added Rockey, “We got to show it off in the Georgetown parade and we used it last week.”

During Rockey’s report to council he handed members a copy of his annual report which included the following information.

In 2010 Georgetown firefighters participated in 53 hours of training including activities like:

The excitement at the event was contagious, combined with the anticipation of early dismissal from school and the upcoming Christmas holiday.

There were more than 40 acts which included singers, dancers, piano and guitar solos.

The event opened with two songs performed by the Jr.High choir including “Grandma’s Killer Fruitcake.”

A performance by sixthgrader Justin Chambers had the crowd on their feet when he sang ‘Tom Dooley.’

The show was brought to a close with a rousing performance by Olivia Hardy and Branson Black singing Journey’s ‘Don’t Stop Believing.”

The final act was Spencer St. Pierre singing a Guns and Roses song accompanied by the guitar.

Immediately following the show, coordinator of the event Tim Hudson, intervention specialist, introduced retiring school secretary, Cookie Linskey.

The Georgetown Village Council voted on Dec. 16 to accept the 2011 temporary budget submitted by village administrator Kelly Jones.

Jones told the board that the proposed budget is $7,898,335 with a projected income of $6,862,570. The fund reserve balance as of Dec. 13, 2010 is $8,183,006.

“The final budget isn’t due until March,” Jones said.

“Some things could change by then.”

During the visitor recognition session of the meeting only two residents participated.

A resident living on North Pleasant told council that she would like the city to be more consistent with their snow plowing procedures on her street. She said they were not plowing to the end of the street.

Mayor Dale Cahall assured the woman that he was aware of the problem and the issue would be taken care of and he thanked her for bringing it to their attention.

Another woman spoke briefly to the board about a police matter where she felt her pregnant daughters treatment by a Georgetown police officer was too forceful and the officer was rude and nasty to both her and her daughter.

The woman felt like the police officer in question should have been reprimanded for his actions and have consequences for his treatment of her daughter.

Chief of Police Forrest “Buddy” Coburn told the woman that he had spoke with the officer and was satisfied that he acted in a professional manner and followed the rules while making the arrest.

“I don’t just let issues like this go,” Chief Coburn told council, “I talked extensively to this officer and he had every right to arrest this woman. She did not have a drivers license, and when asked about a license, she stated three times

that she did have a license.”

Chief Coburn said that through the years he had received complaints on his officers and he investigates each and every one of them.

The board also signed an ordinance to approve annexation of a 4.8098 acre area into Georgetown, consisting of the Villa Georgetown Nursing Facility and Rehabilitation Center. The transaction will have a 30 day waiting period before becoming official.

The administrator gave his report to council that he had met with Santoro Engineers in regard to the Transportation Enhancement project.

“I'm working with Frontier Communications on a cost proposal for the installation of our portion of the conduit,” Jones reported. “They have given me an estimated cost over the phone but I’m still waiting for the final written proposal after the first of the year.”

Jones told council that he was very impressed with the

Cookies and egg nog and hot cocoa are a delight for many folks, as was my Aunt Peggy’s bourbon balls and rum-soaked fruitcake. many will attend Christmas cantatas and possibly a Christmas Eve mass. Some will stand around a piano and sing carols. many will anticipate the arrival of Saint Nicholas. Its Christmas, its supposed to be a special time! Its supposed to be magical and mystical and fun!

I don’t want to deprive anyone of their fun and their celebrating. I still want to do that myself. But there is another side of all this that we cannot afford to forget. We need to learn to give of our time, talents and gifts to those in dire need of help and hope. Many will go without once again because of a glitch in the economy and the lack of

employment. Many more will go without a sense of joy simply due to the depression often associated with the holiday season - they’ve lost loved ones, they’re by themselves, they’ve lost any sense of hope.

People need a little love and concern shown to them to make them feel like human beings. It doesn’t have to be much more than a smile and a kind word sometimes. It could be an unexpected gift ... nothing elaborate or expensive ... as long as it comes from the heart.

Life is all about our ability to care about those around us.

Christmas is about reaching out to a world in need of some hope and light. Being able to stop outside of ourselves and our own selfish desires in order to connect with someone else is God proving His existence to the world - God moves us to action in order to touch people in a very real and personal way. Become willing to let it happen and

around you!

Getting more letters in before the sleigh leaves Editor’s Note: This is being written on Wednesday, Dec. 22, 2010 and the following are a couple of letters that made it to us by press time. If past years are any indication we will receive a few more letters to Santa after deadline. We promise, we will make sure that any letters that arrive after the newspaper deadline will make it to Santa before Christmas, we just weren't able to print them. Merry Christmas to all of our readers, old and young alike!

Merry Christmas!

Dear Santa, All I want for christmas is a Touchscreen MP3 or a Touchscreen Ipod and a cell phone and a nailgun for my dad and a White Christmas. If

that is too much to ask for, that is all right if I don’t get them. I just want every one to have a good Christmas I’m sorry for being bad and getting into the closet and looking at those presents. Be careful when you are flying.

Merry Christmas Santa and all and will you give my brother the phone he wants. thanks.

Merry Christmas Santa, Love, Olivia Dear Santa, I have been good all year.

Please bring me yugioh cards, sword, jetway, ultimate echo (BenTen), and a rocket for Gavin.

Thank you, Logan

Our kids basically live very structured lives, controlled by parents, then by teachers, principles, bus drivers, etc.

But the real sign of growth for these students is having the confidence to move out of their comfort zone and take a chance, and do something they’re afraid to do, but do it anyway.

They have to overcome that fear of screwing up or being laughed at because they forgot the words to a song, or the steps of a dance.

I saw a lot of talent at Mt. Orab’s Middle School Variety Show and witnessed a lot of determined, courageous, future leaders for this community.

If these students are any indication of what’s coming for Mt. Orab, the community will be in good hands.

What Do You Think?

Have you ever made a New Years resolution and actually kept it all year?

Banning earmarks: a small but important step to budget sanity Over the last several years we have heard a lot about Congressional earmarks in the federal budget. According to Citizens Against Government Waste (CAGW), the practice of Congressional earmarking began in earnest in the 1980s.

Generally speaking, the practice of Congress providing funding to specific projects or entities has been growing ever since. CAGW estimated that the annual appropriations bills passed by Congress in 1991 contained around 546 earmarks costing approximately $3.1 billion. By 2010, the non-partisan Congressional Research Service estimated that there were some 11,320 earmarks worth $32 billion – 1.5% of all appropriations – passed by Congress. By any measure, the practice of earmarking has certainly gotten out of control.

No matter the origins or merits of earmarking, American taxpayers have had

Jean Schmidt their fill of it. They are tired of seeing their tax dollars spent on the latest government boondoggle – a new bridge to nowhere, a seemingly silly research project or to feather somebody’s own nest.

And, as Congress fights “to bring home the bacon,” projects of national significance, such as the Brent Spence Bridge, sit idly for lack of funding.

Last year, Republicans in the House of Representatives voted to discontinue the practice of earmarking. I was proud to support that moratorium and when we convened earlier this month, I was proud to join a majority of

other Republicans in continuing the moratorium.

As many people know, saying no is harder than saying yes. Disappointing people isn’t fun, but the country is facing a serious financial struggle to keep its expenses in line with its income. Under the Obama Administration’s guidance, non-defense, discretionary spending has increased some 84%. Our national debt totals more than $13 trillion and making a dent in that will require some very difficult choices. It seems absurd that funding for the Appalachian Fruit Laboratory would be considered in the same debate as extending the life of the Social Security Trust Fund as we go about the necessary prioritization of

federal funding. While eliminating earmarks will not solve the budget problems, allowing them to continue certainly can’t help.

Unfortunately, like other old habits, this one dies hard.

A Senate proposal to end the practice for three years failed recently. The Senate’s inability to deal with this issue at the moment is disappointing, but it’s not the end of the debate.

Reform does not always happen as fast as we would like, but the actions of the new majority in the U.S. House show that we are heading in the right direction. It is my hope that members of the U.S. Senate will soon join us in restoring the public’s trust in the budget process

It takes a lot of courage to stand on a stage, alone, with nothing but a microphone as a companion, and perform in front of all your teachers and classmates. You’re completely out of your element, hoping beyond hope that no one notices your knocking knees and sweaty hands.

Last week I was fortunate enough to attend the 17th annual Mt. Orab Middle School Variety Show and I can’t express how much I enjoyed it.

I watched nervously as young people from grades five through eight, sang, danced and played the piano and guitar. One after another, students took the stage and performed their acts.

Of course some were better than others. Some appeared so nervous, I wondered, at times, if they would get through their acts without fainting.

Our educational systems are dedicated to teaching our children (and grandchildren) readin,’ writin,’ and rithmatic, but life in the real world is a stage.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 the cost of capital cases”, the response reads.

“The judge told me he thought that discussion would be appropriate, given the financial straits the county was in”, it continued.

The response then describes a meeting with Gusweiler and Little in her office, and Gusweiler’s response reads “...I ended the conversation by telling Ms. Little that she was the charging official of the county and she needed to do what she thought was appropriate. I did not instruct her not to bring capital murder charges.”

Gusweiler then moves on to the allegations in Little’s affidavit that he “direct(ly) involved himself in the plea bargain by actively trying to derail the plea bargain.”

Gusweiler describes how he reacted after learning of the elements of the Hensley plea bargain that included money being put on the jail commissary accounts of Hensley and his girlfriend Sarah Clemens and jail visits between the two.

“I was concerned about the appearance of impropriety involved with both of these elements of the proposed plea deal”, his response reads.

Gusweiler describes a meeting between himself, Little and Hensley attorney Bruce Wallace where he told Little “I did not like the way payment to Mr. Hensley

looked, but said I could not stop it. I did not tell or order Ms. Little not to fund Mr. Hensley’s jail commissary account. I told Ms. Little that the plea deal, included money and visits, was evidence favorable to Mr. Tincher and must be disclosed in his case.”

Clemens is currently in the Brown County Jail waiting to testify in the Tincher case.

A source close to the case said the plea deal with Hensley is still valid and that Clemens and Hensley are allowed to visit each other for 30 minutes, twice per week.

Little’s affidavit says that Gusweiler then went to the Brown County Commissioners and told them not to put any money on Hensley’s account after Little determined that it would be improper for her to use money from the Prosecuting Attorney’s office for that purpose.

Little’s affidavit reads that his “admonition to the Commissioners not to put any money into Hensley’s commissary account was improper”.

Gusweiler’s response reads “I spoke with two of the commissioners and told them that I did not think it looked right for the commissioners to use taxpayer dollars to fund the commissary account of Mr. Hensley (who was charged with murdering a Brown County citizen). I did not instruct the commissioners not

to fund the account, nor could I. I indicated they should know I did not condone the practice and thought it reprehensible to give public funds to a capital defendant for his testimony.”

Little further alleges that Gusweiler “improperly investigated aspects and facts of this case by himself” referring to Gusweiler gathering the records of Hensley’s and Clemens’ jail commissary accounts.

Gusweiler responds “I have not investigated any aspect of Mr. Tincher’s alleged crime. I did take steps necessary to ensure Ms. Little was complying with my order that she fully disclose to Mr. Tincher’s counsel the terms of the plea deal with Ms. Clemens and the proposed plea deal with Mr. Hensley.”

Gusweiler closes with “I have no bias or prejudice against Ms. Little...and I have no doubt that I could fairly and impartially act as the judge on this case.

Nevertheless, in order to remove any doubt about my impartiality, and in an abundance of caution with an eye toward ensuring justice is provided to the defendant and the victim’s family, I request that another judge be appointed to preside over the trial of this case.”

At press time no further proceedings have been scheduled in either case by Judge Nurre.

Edward Powers and Terry Lovell, both of Georgetown, receive accolades from Amelia Village Mayor Leroy Ellington for alerting an Amelia family to a fire in their home on the morning of Nov. 14.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 effective Dec. 13, 2010. The board accepted the letter.

A date of Jan. 11, 2011 on Tuesday was set for the boards organizational meeting and presiding president Yockey was named president pro-tem.

The board also named Crieghton as the 2011 representative to Southern Hills Career and Technical Center.

Kendall also told the board that the Ohio School Board Association has requested input from all board members concerning changes to collective bargaining law.

“The way I understand it Governor Kasich wants to revamp the collective bargaining process,” Kendall told the board. “It’s only been around for about 25 years.”

“Another issue under consideration would be unfunded mandates, since the governor has promised that he will get rid of them.”

Mike Bick, principal at Sardinia Elementary School, also submitted a report to the board.

The report stated that Sardinia became a drop off center for the Boitnott family who lost their home due to a fire. An amazing amount of clothing and other items were collected and provided to the family.

The school also sponsored a canned food drive collecting over 1165 items at the school and another 200 items from drop off boxes uptown. The items were donated to the Sardinia Food Pantry.

The elementary school held a Secret Santa Shop, a book swap and a Sunny D book spree.

The new Art Sonia art work has now been hung at the school and the 5th grade “Happy Helpers” program was deemed a huge success.

A report from Eastern High School Principal Jennifer Grimes stated that the high school has been very focused on midterm exams for the past week.

The high school vocal ensemble, under the direction of Mrs. Baldridge and the high school concert band and jazz band, under the direction of Mr. Cooper, performed a holiday concert before a packed house.

The high school’s FFA delivered its holiday fruit and also conducted a toy drive for ABCAP. National Honor Society members took an afternoon to deliver fruit and cookie baskets to local shut-ins or residents of local nursing homes.

The girl’s teams would be

competing at Georgetown in the Brown County Classic on Dec. 27-28. The boys varsity and varsity teams would be participating Dec. 29-30.

"There were sparks everywhere, the electric meter blew right next to me," Powers said.

"I made it as far as the kitchen and couldn't see any farther because of all the smoke."

Powers and Lovell were able to alert resident James Stewart and he was able to bring the remaining occupants out of the house, including his 2-day-old baby girl. Powers said they were all sleeping on the second floor when the fire broke out in a first floor utility room.

"I don't know how they all got out," Powers said. "There was smoke everywhere."

Lovell said despite the smoke he and Powers were eager to make sure everyone made it out of the burning house.

"If they wouldn't have come out we would've gone in," Lovell said.

Lovell and Powers were presented with plaques by Amelia Mayor Leroy Ellington.

"In a world today where people are so busy and they don't often pay as much attention to their surrounds as we would like to hope that they do, we are here tonight to honor two people who not only took the time to just be observant of their surroundings but secondarily took time to act in what was a potentially deadly situation," Ellington said.

Ellington said the men were heroes and if not for their efforts the family would not

have made it out of the house.

"I have plaques for each of them as a small token of our appreciation, and it's not nearly enough, for their accomplishment and the kind of contribution they made to humanity," Ellington said. "I'm sure that..those seven or eight people who were in the home that day will forever be in their debt and I personally would like to them for being of heroic character because not everyone would have done what they did."

Powers and Lovell humbly thanked the mayor for the recognition.

"I'm just glad we were there," Powers said. "I've got four kids of my own and

grandkids and we just did what we hope anybody would do."

After ensuring the family had escaped from their burning house, Lovell and Powers stayed on the scene to direct traffic on Ohio Pike for an additional two and a half hours.

"They looked cold standing out there watching the fire, I felt sorry for them," Lovell said.

The home has since been demolished and the lot cleared but thanks to Lovell and Powers and the outpouring of support from the Amelia community following the fire the family has been able to move on.

There are a great deal of new and exciting things happening at Eastern High School this year! Eastern High School is taking part in the dual enrollment program at Southern State Community College, which provides an opportunity for high school students to earn both high school and college credit for the same courses while staying on-site at Eastern High School. Eastern is offering English 101, 102, and 103 being taught by Ms. Reinsmith. The Spanish 107, 108, and 109 is taught by Mr. Somers and is equivalent to Spanish I, II, and III. Chemistry 122 is taught by Mr. Fain. Chemistry students who successfully pass the course are given credit for Chemistry 120 (treated as if they “tested out” of the course). Chemistry 120 is the preceding course to this series. In the dual enrollment program, high schools have the option of bringing their students to visit the Southern State campus to complete a college-level laboratory which is chosen by the high school teachers and use campus resources. This gives students a chance to dispel some of their fears about college.

Pictured is Mr. Somers’ Spanish class.

Students in Southern State Community College’s EMTP 101 course (Emergency Medical Technician-Basic) on the college’s North Campus in Wilmington were treated to a visit from the Miami Valley Hospital Careflight team.

“Students in previous classes have never had the opportunity for this type of event,” said David Hoffman, SSCC instructor. “This came about from having a student in the class who works for CareFlight, and that student had the connections needed to make this happen.”

The students were able to see how the landing zone is set up, learn how to communicate with the aircraft personnel on approach, and watch as the aircraft landed.

After the crew departed the helicopter, the students were given a presentation about the MVH CareFlight Air and Mobile Services, how those services are accessed, who needs the services provided by CareFlight, the credentials needed to be part of the crew, and the capabilities of the crew.

After the lecture portion of the CareFlight visit, the students were given the opportunity to

see the inside of the helicopter.

The students got to see the confined space inside and the limited workspace in which the crew has to work. The students were able to visit with the crew and ask questions. The crew joined the class for lunch.

On departure, the pilot decided to have a little fun and demonstrate a couple of small tricks.

“All in all, the students really enjoyed the visit and the information they received,” said Hoffman. “It was a real treat for the students and a great learning experience that the students will not forget. The students and faculty would like to thank the Miami Valley Hospital CareFlight crew, as well as the firefighters from the Chester Township Fire Department.

“Hopefully, this will become an event that can happen with every EMT-Basic class at Southern State!”

Southern State offers an associate of applied science degree in emergency medical services, with most courses offered on the college’s North Campus, 1850 Davids Drive, Wilmington. To learn more about the program, please visit www.sscc.edu/acad-

Flu season is here. In Ohio, the flu season usually occurs from fall through early spring.

Flu vaccinations are very safe and are the best way to stay healthy this flu season. Most people who get the flu usually recover in one to two weeks, but the flu can be deadly for those considered at-risk.

The seasonal flu vaccine protects against three influenza viruses that research indicates will be most common during the upcoming season.

The 2010-2011 flu vaccine will protect against 2009H1N1, and two other influenza viruses (an H3N2 virus and an influenza B virus). The viruses in the vaccine change each year based on international surveillance and scientists’ estimations about which types and strains of viruses will circulate in a given year. About 2 weeks after vaccination, antibodies that provide protection against influenza virus infection develop in the body.

Yearly flu vaccination should begin in September or as soon as vaccine is available and continue throughout the influenza season, into December, January and beyond. This is because the timing and duration of influenza vary. While influenza outbreaks can happen as early as October, most of the time influenza activity peaks in January or later. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that everyone 6 months and older should get a flu vaccine each year. While everyone should

IS THE SEED IN THE BARN? Look with me today in the book of Haggai. Haggai was a prophet of God. The 10 northern tribes of Israel had been scattered abroad long ago and the 2 southern tribes of Judah and Benjamin, which were around Jerusalem, had turned from God. Because of the wickedness of these 2 tribes God allowed King Nebuchadnedzzar of Babylon to carry them away captive. They were kept in Babylon, which is over in the area of Iraq, for 70 years. After the 70 years were expired, according to the prophecy of Jeremiah, the majority of them returned to Jerusalem. The walls of the city were torn down and Nehemiah was involved in the rebuilding of them. The walls were finished but the house of the LORD was not.

Then under Haggai the work on the house of the LORD recommenced. Now in verse 19 of chapter 2 the LORD told Haggai to ask the question: “Is the seed yet in the barn?...” Remember, ladies and gentlemen, that I have said that the tithe belongs to the Lord. Leviticus 27:30 states: “And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land, or the fruit of the tree, is the LORD’S: it is holy unto the LORD.” Ten percent of your income belongs to the LORD. It is His and He expects you to pay it. There is the saying which goes: the tithe we owe, the seed we sow. Anything over and above your tithe is your offering to the Lord. For instance, if you are in a building project, what you give towards that is an offering. It is not a part of your tithe. In the 25th chapter of Exodus in verse 2 the LORD told Moses concerning the building of the tabernacle: “Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring me an offering: of every man that giveth it willingly with his heart ye shall take my offering.” It was not to be given grudgingly but freely with the heart. The seed, which is your offering, is not commanded; it is to be given willingly and spontaneously. You might not actively be in a building project now, but are all your buildings paid for? If not, and you have a building fund, then you should consider giving to it. That is what pays for the building you worship in. It also allows the younger generation to be involved in investing in the building wherein they also worship. The Bible tells us

DR. CHARLES SMITH MT. ORAB BIBLE BAPTIST CHURCH www.bbcmtorab.com that where your treasure is there will your heart be also. If you have no treasure in your building it goes to say that you are not likely to have much heart in it either. Now, consider this. If you have an investment in the building in which someone receives Christ as their Saviour, then in consideration of that investment that soul is accredited to your account in heaven. The same goes for everyone who is baptized in the building. That baptism is accredited to your account.

Therefore it is to your benefit to give willingly to your building fund. And it does not stop there.

Let’s just say that you pass on.

Does that mean that your rewards stop at that point? No, it does not.

For every soul which gets saved in the building where you put your investment, you will still have a dividend accredited to your heavenly account. Another thing to consider is that it is not just your money that you can invest. You can invest your time.

That also applies to your account.

It takes work to maintain your building. When you invest you are sowing! Do you know what happens when you sow? First you get the seed out of the barn. Then you begin to sow it. Let us say you sow a half of a bushel of corn per acre. You fertilize it, cultivate it, and harvest it. How much should you expect to reap from that half bushel of seed? Well, depending on your investment in it, you just might reap 200 bushels. Metaphorically speaking, would you rather have the half bushel in the barn or the 200 bushels in the wagon? It stands to reason that the more you give the more you get in return.

Remember, the seed we sow; the tithe we owe. Must the LORD ask you the question: Is your seed yet in the barn? Or is He able to say: Well done my good and faithful servant.

G’town chemistry students perform labs Georgetown Chemistry students learn how to separate two different salts (sodium chloride and potassium nitrate) by using temperature differences. First, they lowered the temperature of a water solution to 4oC, which caused the potassium nitrate to fall out as they filtered the potassium nitrate crystals off. Next, they took the filtered solution and heated it to recover the sodium chloride. the students know now much of each was in the solution they then calculated their percent recovery. pictured is Holly VanKeuren conducting the experiment.

presented Tudor the Archie Griffin Sportsmanship Award.

Tudor expressed a great deal of gratitude to her track and field coaches at Western Brown High School.

“They understood how to push me, when to encourage me, and mostly their inspiration was so important,” added Tudor.

Western Brown boys coach Chad Sexton strongly encouraged her to gain some experience over the summer by running some road events.

Tudor listened to Sexton’s advice and became pleasantly surprised when she became the Bronco 5K overall winner last August. Tudor was spotted

by Shawnee State University assistant cross country coach Blake Jones during the Bronco 5K race. She then participated in the Shawnee State Bear Run with over 900 runners.

The Bear Run would solidify her as a runner when she became the overall women’s champion.

“After I won the Bear Run, coach Putnam wanted me to come run at Shawnee State,” said Tudor.

Tudor will begin next fall as a scholarship athlete at Shawnee.

Fayetteville Lady Rockets blast Lady Bulldogs, 87-25

By Ritchie Butler The Brown County Press The Fayetteville Lady Rockets, showing no signs of rust after sitting idle for 12 days, used their transition game to fly past the Batavia Lady Bulldogs, 87-25.

“This group has adapted to the fast-break mentality very well,” said Lady Rockets’ coach Toby Sheets. “It seems natural to them. Rebound, outlet, long pass and then we’ll take advantage.”

The first period was a little slow for Fayetteville. In fact, the Lady Rockets fell behind 4-1 at the midway point when Batavia’s Abby Hericks knocked in a left-handed hook shot.

Desiree Dutro got Fayetteville rolling when she stuck back an offensive board.

Makayla Rosselot converted a three-point play and in a matter of 34 seconds, the Lady rockets were on top, 6-4.

Fayetteville went on to outscore the Lady Bulldogs 16-2 over the final four minutes of the first, claiming a 176 lead at the quarter break.

The Lady Rockets’ zone defense gave Batavia problems in the second quarter.

Fayetteville held the Lady Bulldogs scoreless for over three minutes in the frame while posting 10 more transition points in the process.

Midway through the second, Shelby Sheets, who had been relatively quiet for 12 minutes, got going. The senior swing player drained two 3pointers, made a layup on a break and added two free throws in the final four minutes of the half.

Cheyenne Ramey stuck back an offensive rebound with time running out in the period, putting the Lady Rockets in front at intermission, 41-13.

Western graduate, Briana Tudor, signs a letter of intent to run cross country next fall at Shawnee State University. The event took place last Friday at Western High School.

Joining Tudor at the signing were her parents, high school track coaches, her high school athletic administrator and future Shawnee State coach.

self, entered and did well as an unattached athlete in two collegiate cross country meets, has been attending UCClermont this year. Tudor will join a successful team at Shawnee State University that won the Mid-South Conference Championship and qualified for the National

Cross Country Meet in 2010.

“I am happy about being able to run with a team,” said Tudor. “I have always run by myself. The team will be able to push me even more and make me better.”

Tudor decided on Shawnee State University because of their reputation in their educa-

tion program, its proximity to her home, and the chance to be trained in cross country by experienced coaches that could help her achieve a balance of academics and athletics.

Tudor will attend Shawnee State University with a major in Special Education.

Western Broncos wrestling roundup

Fayetteville’s Desiree Dutro lays in a shot during the Lady Rockets’ win over Batavia.

“We’re rotating nine players in basically by the clock,” said Sheets. “Their styles are so similar and they like playing together. Every rebound we get, we look to push.”

The third period also belonged to the Lady Rockets.

Dutro led the way with eight points in the quarter. Sheets added seven and Rosselot netted five. Most of the Fayetteville points again came in transition.

Defensively, the zone was still effective as the Lady Rockets held Batavia scoreless for the first four minutes of the third.

Shawnee State University’s Cross Country Coach Eric Putnam came to Western Brown High School on Dec. 17, to sign cross country runner Briana Tudor.

The calling of Tudor to competitive running is a story of persistence and perseverance. Tudor, a 2010 Western graduate, was a four-year varsity soccer player, a two-year basketball player, and a four year track and field thrower for the Broncos.

The amazing part of the story is that Tudor never participated in a cross country event during her high school career. Tudor, a first team Southern Buckeye Conference selection in soccer, began running going into her senior year of high school to become a better goalie. She contemplated several small collegiate college soccer programs but felt that running was her calling.

“Running became my lifestyle and I’ve never stopped,” said Tudor.

Tudor not only began a serious running regimen but

began to make lifestyle changes in her diet. She stopped all fast foods and began eating a healthy supply of chicken and vegetables.

Her body transformed by her senior track season, the girl who used to squat 220 pounds and bench 140 pounds, no longer had the power to compete in the throwing events.

She tried her ability in the sprints but was unable to secure an event.

“She was the hardest working kid; we just had to use her in the right place,” said Western track coach Jeff Jones. It was at that point coaches Jones and Tina Cooper put her in a two mile race.

“You could watch her run through town and she just never stops, so why not distance running?” said Cooper.

“Coach Jones and coach Cooper encouraged me to run in the two-mile event,” said Tudor. “I found it fun. I thought, ‘Wow, I just finished second in my first race.’”

Tudor finished her senior season as a success for an athlete in her first competitive running season. Jones rewarded her with the 110 percent award. Tim Cook, Western Brown Athletic Director, also

led to a fast-break basket.

Rosselot got four layups and added three free throws in the quarter. Ramey and Abbey Rowe got in on the act in the final two minutes, scoring the final four points for Fayetteville as the Lady Rockets went on to win, 8725.

“We have some young kids who can really score,” added Sheets. “Desiree goes all out on every play. She does very well in the post.”

Three Lady Rockets finished in double figures. Sheets led the way with 27 points while adding nine assists and five steals. Rosselot added 25 tallies and four assists. Dutro finished with 16 points while pulling down 13 rebounds.

Megan Eyre chipped in six points, dished out four assists and also got five steals.

McKenna Fraley led Batavia with seven points.

Alyssa Gibson and Hericks added six points each.

The win lifted Fayetteville to 5-0 overall. The Lady Rockets sit at 3-0 in the Southern Hills League and will play in the Brown County Holiday Tournament on Monday and Tuesday.

“The Brown County Tournament will be fun,” said Sheets. “It’s great competition and we want to challenge our girls.”

In the reserve game, Fayetteville defeated Batavia, 42-28.

Amanda O’Donnell led the Lady Rockets with a gamehigh 16 points. Ashley Moore added five. Rowe, Betsy Wiederhold and Gabby Valentine chipped in four points each.

Jordan Foster led the Lady Bulldogs with eight tallies.

Allison Wagner added five.

Katelynn Everhart and Beth Grimes chipped in four points each.

On Wednesday, Dec. 15, the Broncos fell to Anderson, 3825, and Hamilton, 42-25, dropping to 0-3 on the season.

Tory Bauer and Justin Dillinger each went 2-0, while Mike Williams, Jake Latham, Andy Wallace and Ray DeRossett each went 1-1.

On Friday, Dec. 17, and Saturday, Dec. 18, the team placed eighth in the 16-team Point Pleasant, West Virginia tournament with a 5-4 dual meet record. The Broncos upset the No. 5 state-ranked team while defeating Philip Barbour, Whama, Calhoun County, Poca and Independence High Schools, but fell to Point Pleasant, Ripley, Spring Valley and Western Greenbriar.

The Broncos were led by Bauer, who went 9-0. At the same, Bauer broke the 100

career win mark with his first victory and currently has 108 career wins (placing him No. 4 on the all-time wins list).

Dillinger went 8-1 and with his victories, moved ahead of Western Head Coach Wendel Donathan in the school's top 10 career wins. Dillinger now stands with 79 career victories (placing him No. 8 all time).

Latham and Wallace each wrestled extremely well, going 7-2 for the weekend.

Other records include, Blake Silvis (4-5), Williams (3-5), Ray Hoffer (3-4), Josh Boothby (4-5), Garret Taylor (0-9), Payton Bailey (4-5) and DeRossett (4-4).

The team’s current dual record now stands at 5-7 on the year.

The Broncos youth wrestling team competed at the Blanchester Invitational

and finished with a record of 25-29. We had two champions, three runner-ups and nine placers. Individual results were: • Joshua Cramer - 1st • Ryan Cooper • Gage Daughtery • Ben Donathan • Tanner Donathan • Austin Grammer • Chase Lovett - 2nd • Destinee Meyer - 3rd • Seth Montgomery - 2nd • Mason Osborne - 3rd • Gary Powell III - 1st • Chad Robinson • Dominic Richey - 3rd • Tyler Simmons - 3rd • Derek Spears - 3rd • Tristen Streetman - 4th • Tabor Tesmer - 4th • Isaac Trevino - 2nd • Joey Weaver • Gage Wisby - 3rd • Hunter Spears - 4th

Lady Bears win two conference games The Shawnee State women's basketball team had little trouble as they defeated the University of Virginia College at Wise 93-65 in the Bears' conference home opener.

Shawnee State improved to 9-3 on the season and 2-1 in the Mid-South. The Cavaliers fell to 5-5 overall and 0-3 in conference action.

The Bears never trailed in the game and quickly got out to a double-digit lead. The Bears accumulated a 51-27 halftime lead, behind senior Jill Cropper's 19-point firsthalf performance. The Bears' offense didn't let up in the second half and they scored 42 points en route to their 95-65 victory.

Shawnee State shot well from floor, making 31-of-64 attempts for 48 percent. The Bears' defense gave the Cavaliers some trouble as they shot 34 percent in the game, going 24-for-69. From beyond the arc, the Bears connected on 9-of-25 shots for 36 percent, while the Cavaliers only made 6-of-27 attempts for 22 percent. At the charity strip, Shawnee State went to the line 30 times, making 22 free throws for 73 percent.

University of Virginia-Wise shot 18 free throws in the game, connecting on 11.

Explosive first half propels Bears to second-straight conference win over Pikeville.

Junior Abby Ballman and Keilee Guthrie each scored 14 points in the first half, helping the Bears accumulate a 45-36 halftime lead and go on to defeat Pikeville 97-88 on Saturday afternoon.

On the season, the Bears

improved to 10-3 and 3-1 in the Mid-South. Pikeville fell to 8-4 on the season and 0-4 in conference play.

Ballman scored the Bears' first five points of the game and then found Cropper for a 3-pointer to help the Bears establish a 7-4 lead, a lead which the Bears would not give up the lead the rest of the game.

Pikeville's Lenae Shouse hit a jumper to pull within two at 10-8, but Ballman and freshman Alannah Sheets rattled off 10-straight points, including a 3-pointer and a jumper each, to give the Bears the double-digit lead, 18-8.

The two teams exchanged points and then Guthrie came off the bench to score on backto-back-to-back possessions for the Bears, including two 3pointers, to extend the lead back to double-digits. On the next Bear possession, Cropper laid in a lay-up to give the Bears the 32-19 lead. A Pikeville turnover led to Guthrie draining her third shot from beyond the arc.

Pikeville's Natiera Hinton stopped the Bears' 8-0 run with a jumper but Guthrie drained another 3-pointers to give Shawnee State their largest lead of the game of 17 with just over seven minutes remaining the half.

Pikeville cut into the deficit outscoring Shawnee State 15-7 in the final seven minutes to go into the half down 45-36.

Pikeville came out strong to start the second half and cut the Bears’ lead to three, 46-43 with 17:29 remaining.

This was Cropper's third consecutive game scoring over 20 points for the Bears. Guthrie finished the game with 18 points, while sophomore Alex Pohl finished with a careerhigh 16 points to go along with eight rebounds. Sheets added 12 points for the Bears.

Hinton led Pikeville with 20 points. Whitney Compton added 18 points, while Sally Roberts and Shouse ended the game with 11 points each.

At the line, both teams shot evenly. Shawnee State converted 27-of-34 attempts, 25 of them in the second half, for 79 percent. Pikeville went 15-for19 in the game for 79 percent.

Paeltz honored by ABCAP Margery Paeltz was presented with a plaque by Roger Rhonemus, Chairperson, ABCAP Board of Trustees at their Christmas meeting December 7th, 2010. Margery has served on the ABCAP Board of Trustees representing the Brown County Public Sector for the past four years. During this time she has served on the Personnel Committee volunteering many hours of her time for the agency. She also serves as Vice Chairperson for the board. ABCAP recognizes her commitment to serving the people in the Adams and Brown County area. She has actively worked towards the elimination of poverty, helping people and families achieve self-sufficiency and meeting the needs of the community.

The board expressed their appreciation of Margery’s dedication and leadership. Mr. Rhonemus said he spoke on behalf of himself, the agency, and the board when he said she would be greatly missed.

A little holiday “cheer” can sometimes unfortunately go a long way. Remember, Buzzed Driving is Drunk Driving— and Over the Limit, Under Arrest! The holidays are a time to eat, drink and be merry, but when drivers fail to be responsible, those few glasses of spiked eggnog can quickly turn one of the happiest times of the year into a nightmare. Too often impaired drivers don’t plan ahead and end up making the roads unsafe for everyone. That is why this holiday season the Brown County Safe Communities Coalition is reminding all drivers to keep the party off the road.

Impaired driving is one of America’s most-often-committed and deadliest crimes.

Every day, 32 people in the U.S. die in motor vehicle crashes that involve an alcohol-impaired driver. This basically amounts to one death every 45 minutes. And one in every three fatal motor vehicle crashes involves an alcohol-impaired driver.

The holidays are particularly deadly due to the high number of drunk drivers on the roads. During the month of December 2009, 753 people were killed in the U.S. in crashes that involved a driver or motorcycle rider (operator) with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08 or higher.

Here are some eye-opening facts collected by Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD): Every minute, one person is injured from an alco-

SuSAN BASTA hol-related crash. One in three people will be in an alcohol-related crash in his/her lifetime. MADD serves a victim or survivor of drunk driving every 10 minutes. Drunk driving costs each adult in the U.S. almost $500 per year. And get this— an average drunk driver has driven drunk 87 times before his or her first arrest!

Although many people have gotten the message loud and clear, there are still millions who just don’t understand that alcohol and driving are a deadly combination.

Let’s take a minute to look at how alcohol affects your ability to drive safely.

With a BAC of just .02 you typically get some loss of judgment, relaxation, and altered mood. This affects your ability to rapidly track a moving target and to perform two tasks at the same time.

With a BAC of .05, you will probably have some impaired

judgment, lowered alertness, and loss of ability to focus your eyes well. Your driving will most likely be affected because you will have reduced coordination, difficulty steering, and a reduced response to emergency driving situations (your “reaction time” will be slower than normal).

Now, when your BAC gets to the illegal limit (now .08 in every state), you will have poor muscle coordination and impaired judgment, self-control, reasoning, and memory.

You’ll also have major problems with concentration, speed control, tracking moving objects, and impaired perception. All of these obviously can lead to serious problems with your driving skills.

And the more you drink, the more impaired you get, and the worse your perception of your own driving skills gets.

It also gets harder for you to be able to detect dangers on the road.

It seems like a “no-brainer” to not drink and then drive.

Problem is, the more you drink, the less you’re aware that you’re impaired, and the worse your judgment becomes.

During this holiday season, please keep these simple steps in mind for your holiday gatherings to do your part to prevent impaired driving: (1) Offer non-alcoholic beverages; (2) serve plenty of food; (3) make sure your guests have a designated driver; (4) suggest that impaired guests spend the night; (5) call a taxi if available; (6) take the keys away from a guest that has had too much; and (6) focus on non-drinking activities at the party.

Finally, remember that local law enforcement will be out and about looking for impaired drivers during this Christmas and New Year holiday period. Remember--Over the Limit, Under Arrest.

Please have a wonderful and safe holiday!

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/Ohio Traffic Safety Office, and is locally coordinated by the HEALTH-UC and the University of Cincinnati AHEC Program office in Georgetown, Ohio.
