Hospital deal collapses again BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press After three months of negotiation and research, Falcon Investors, LLC has chosen not to pursue the purchase of Brown County Regional HealthCARE, the parent company of the Brown County General Hospital. Brown County Commission President Margery Paeltz said that Lawrence Krule, Executive Vice President of Falcon Investors, notified the Brown County Hospital Board by telephone. "There really wasn't a specific reason given (by Krule)", Paeltz said. "He said it was a combination of factors and it really wasn't any one thing." A press release issued by Brown County Regional HealthCARE CEO Michael Patterson following the decision said "Falcon officials did not provide any specific reasons why they were withdrawing their letter of intent to purchase the hospital and did not provide a written letter of termination." Patterson said that BCRH was ready to move forward from the development and that he "feels confident that we can continue to provide
the the medical services needed by the community." Patterson added that BCRHC was "in a much stronger financial position" than the company faced back in April due to some "positive changes" within the hospital. Patterson said those changes will have a positive impact to make the hospital a more attractive property for a potential investor. Patterson said he hopes such an investor would "provide capital that we need to implement other initiatives that have been identified" as needed during the negotiabetween Falcon tions Investors and earlier talks with Essent Healthcare out of Nashville. Essent pulled out of a deal with BCRHC at the last minute in April. Tim McKeown, a spokesperson for for Eagle Legacy Partners, said the attorney for his group has been contacted by representatives from the hospital board who are seeking information. Eagle submitted a proposal to the board along with Falcon Investors last July. McKeown called Eagle Legacy Partners "a group of local investors" and said that the group is "conferencing CONTINUED ON PAGE 10
Terry Lea Hamilton says she will fight the charges against her in court. She is facing four misdemeanor charges of Cruelty to Companion Animals for failing to provide food and veterinary care, failure to tag the dogs and failure to register as a kennel. At least 39 dogs were seized from Hamilton’s TriCounty Highway home on Oct. 11 after investigators found the dogs inside the home. Those who entered the home reported that the dogs were covered in fleas and there there was dog feces as
much as four inches deep in the home. A number of dead dogs were also found in a freezer. Electricity to the home had been shut off for weeks before investigators arrived. The Tri-CountyAnimal Response Team responded to the scene, along with the Brown County Humane Society and Adams County Dog Warden Paul Hughes. Deputies from the Brown County Sheriffs Office also responded. Hamilton had a hearing scheduled on Oct. 20, but arrived without an attorney. Another hearing has been set for early next month. the hearing, During Hamilton said she was pres-
sured to sign over the dogs, but refused. When asked directly if she intends to surrender the dogs, Hamilton said “If it’s the best thing for the dogs, then I’ll do it”, but then said that she would not do so until she knows the outcome of the upcoming hearing. Hamilton said she was prepared to sign over the dogs to the CART group, but balked when she discovered the Brown County Humane Society would be in charge of finding homes for the dogs. Hamilton claims that a personal dispute with Brown County Humane Society members is the reason behind the seizure of her dogs in the first place.
She also denies earlier reports that she had sixty dogs seized from her several years ago. Hamilton also disputes a claim made by CART in a press release that she wanted some of the dogs back because she had already sold them. Hamilton said she had promised to give two of the dogs to “an old lady in Hillsboro.” Regarding the dog seizure and its aftermath, Hamilton said “I understand that things got out of hand.” Regarding the dogs in the freezer, Hamilton said there were 10 of them, a litter of nine puppies and an older CONTINUED ON PAGE 10

He added that accusations made by some parents that school district employees were told to withhold information from parents are completely false. Royalty said the infestation was limited to a very small group of students and that the situation is under control. The following is the text of a letter signed by Royalty that was sent home to parents: “Dear Parents/Guardians: I am very much aware that many of you are concerned with the issue of bed bugs in the school district and you have every right to be concerned. I feel that possibly the lack of information from the district has contributed to a great degree regarding the widespread misinformation on this matter. Consequently, this letter is an attempt to give you the facts as we know them. There is an isolated situation impacting only the MOES and MOMS buildings. We are not dealing with a school-wide infestation. We are dealing with a very small number of students. CONTINUED ON PAGE 10
BY Brett Roller The Brown County Press The Covington Kentucky Police Department descended on East Fork State Park just before 9 a.m. Wednesday in their most recent effort to find 17-year-old Paige Johnson. As of late Thursday morning no discoveries had been made. The Florence, Ky. mother of a two-year-old was last seen in Covington, Ky. on Sept. 23 where her friend Jacob Bumpass, 22, told police he dropped off Johnson. Bumpass was taken into custody on an unrelated parole violation on Oct. 4. The case is still classified as a missing person under suspicious circumstances, but Covington Police Department Captain Teal Nally said his department has not ruled out any possibilities. Nally said the department has taken an interest in the park based the fact that they were able to track Bumpass’s cell phone use to the park on the night of her disappearance. A total of 110 people and 17 tracking and cadaver dogs from 30 agencies were expect-
ed to scour the park for five to six hours Wednesday. The Clermont County Sheriff’s Office coordinated with Covington to organize the search. “We’re playing a secondary role in the search but we’re doing everything we can to help them,” Sheriff A.J. Tim Rodenberg said. Nally said agencies ranging from fire departments, police departments, search and rescue, the Red Cross, and Rumpke came from all parts of Kentucky and Ohio to join in the search. “We’re hopeful we will find her alive and well, but under the circumstances that may be difficult,” Nally said. “We’re looking for Paige or some type of evidence that will lead us in the right direction.” Nally said the searchers were concentrating their efforts on areas where they believe it is highly likely Bumpass may have been at the time of day when the phone was used, but they intend to search the entire park. He said it was unlikely the dogs would be able to cover CONTINUED ON PAGE 10

Eagan and Paeltz share priorities as election nears BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press Brown County Commission President Margery Paeltz is running for reelection as a Democrat this Nov. 2. Her challenger is Republican Rick Eagan. Both candidates were given a list of five questions to answer as election day approaches. Their responses appear unedited below. The first question was “What experiences/accomplishments do you have that would make you an effective member of the County
Commission?” PAELTZ: “My lifetime of experiences prior to, and including the present term I am now serving as your proud county commissioner, enables me to be proactive in the decision making process required each day.

special one-time bonus of up to $1000 to over 200,000 Ohio veterans who were deemed eligible. There is however, some confusion for Ohio's veterans stemming from an ad which has appeared in newspapers across Ohio since earlier this year. The ad informs all Ohio veterans that the special veterans bonus of $100 for each month of active duty (up to $1,000) is now available by filling out an application and sending it to the Ohio Veterans Services. But, according to one Winchester resident and veteran, Eric Vogt, accepting the bonus could be a big mistake since those veterans currently collecting a disability pension from the armed forces could have the bonus deducted from their pension within 90 days. "This was supposed to be a gift, a bonus for these veterans," Vogt said. "But it's no gift, and it's very misleading to all veterans. "That tax, that Ohioan's voted yes on has already generated over $140 million. But because most veterans are afraid to apply for it, for fear of having to pay it back later,
a large percentage of that money is going to go unclaimed. And who gets it then? The federal government probably, and that's just not right. It was meant to be a gift." Bubp, State Danny Representative of the 88th District said that he understood the bonus to be a gesture of thank-you to the veterans from Ohio who fought in the war. "If this proves to be true, that the bonus amount would be deducted from the veterans' pension, and I'm not really aware that it is, that would be totally unfair," Bubp said in a phone interview. "This money was meant to be awarded above and beyond any benefits the veterans are already receiving. If indeed there is a law on the books that states this bonus has to be reported as income and could cost these veterans one cent of their disability benefits,
there's something wrong and it needs to be fixed." Bruce Pfaff, communications director for Congresswoman Jean Schmidt's office said that Congresswoman Schmidt is aware of the issue and doesn't believe the voters of Ohio, who overwhelmingly voted to grant these payments, expected that it would penalize Vets. "It was intended to be a thank you for their willingness to fight for our freedom," Pfaff said in a written statement. "Congresswoman Schmidt is rapidly searching for a solution to this issue so that these Vets get the bonus they're entitled to." According to Jim Gravelle, spokesperson for the Ohio Department of Veteran Services, veterans currently on a disability pension, who qualify for the bonus, will be in no danger of having to pay the bonus back. "The bonus will only effect veterans on a
regular pension, just like any increase in income would effect it," Gravelle said. "Accepting the bonus will have no effect on any disability pension, because it is a gift from the residents of Ohio. And the bonus is tax exempt at state and the federal levels. The pension is a lot like unemployment, any additional income must be reported and it will eventually be deducted from the unemployment received." Gravelle said the funding is limited to $200,000 and bonds will be sold as needed, implemented in $50 million installments, to insure no running balance and the money is dispersed as requested where it was intended to go, to Ohio's veterans. He added that there is no time limit to veterans to apply for the bonus, until three years after the United State's is no longer involved in the war has ended.

Drugs and cash were seized following a search by a Brown County K-9 Unit.
K-9 drug search of D.P.&L. premises in Manchester results in seven employees being discharged Sheriff Dwayne Wenninger reports that his office was contacted by Anderson Security, a private company hired by the Dayton Power & Light Company in Manchester, Oh., to provide security for their premises. Anderson Security made arrangements with the Brown County Sheriff’s Office for K-9 Units to perform a drug search of the DP&L parking lot. The business is located on U.S. Route 52 in Adams County, however the Adams County Sheriff’s Office did not have a K-9 Unit available to perform the search at that time.
The Brown County Sheriff’s Office requested the assistance of two additional K-9 Units from the Maysville, KY and Ripley, OH Police Departments. On Monday, October 11, 2010 the DP&L parking lot was searched on a voluntary basis by four K-9 Units. The K-9 Units indicated “hits” on a few of the vehicles. The owners of the vehicles were called out of the plant on an individual basis for questioning. The K-9 Units found a substantial amount of marijuana inside three vehicles. Deputies from the Adams County Sheriff’s Office
responded to the scene and evidence was turned over to their agency. Charges are pending in Adams County against the individuals involved. Management at the Dayton Power & Light Company indicated that they have a zero tolerance for drug abuse and appreciated the assistance the K-9 Units were able to provide. As a result of the search, seven employees were discharged immediately from employment by DP&L Management for either having drugs in their vehicles and/or their refusal to submit to a mandatory drug test.
Suspects arrested for B&E and theft Sheriff Dwayne Wenninger reports that on Oct. 13, 2010 at approximately 10:30 a.m. a Deputy was dispatched to a report of Breaking and Entering and Theft of items from a barn located at 12544 Hamer Road, Sardinia. During the investigation, the Deputy obtained information that led her to the suspect residence of 12037 Hamer Road, Sardinia. While attempting to make contact with the suspects, through an open door the Deputy noticed a vehicle sitting inside the garage that was loaded with items matching those stolen from the victim. A search warrant was obtained by Judge Joseph Worley of the Brown County Municipal Court. The search warrant was executed and the victim’s property was located. The following suspects were arrested and charged with Breaking and Entering and
ment in the Ohio Department of Corrections on the trafficking charge and 180 days in jail on the misdemeanor Endangering Children. The two sentences are to run concurrent. Judge Gusweiler sentenced Jeremiah Hall to one-year confinement in the Ohio Department of Corrections on each trafficking charge to run consecutively. Judge Gusweiler also sentenced Jeremiah Hall to
six months in jail on the Endangering Children to run concurrent to the other two sentences. Judge Gusweiler further notified the Halls that post release control by the Adult Parole Authority is optional for a period of three years when they are released from prison. The Halls are responsible to pay the court costs and the public defender fees in each case.

Suspect charged in multiple vehicle and trailer thefts Sheriff Dwayne Wenninger reports that on October 12, 2010, Deputies responded to a report of a theft of a 1981 Chevy Pickup Truck and a 24 foot enclosed trailer from a residence on U.S. Route 50 near Fayetteville, Ohio. Later that date, the victim located his stolen truck sitting behind a residence on Glady Road, Fayetteville.

A Brown County grand jury indicted Mary L. Hall, 21, of Mount Orab in September on two counts of Trafficking in Heroin. Her spouse, Jeremiah Hall, 24, of Mount Orab, was indicted at the same time on three counts of Trafficking in Heroin. The trafficking counts carried the specifications that the offense was committed in the vicinity of a juvenile and that the Halls were the titled owners of the vehicle used in the commission of the crime. In addition, the Halls were each indicted on two counts of misdemeanor Endangering Children. The Hall’s infant child tested positive for heroin. On October 5, Brown County Court of Common Pleas Judge Scott T. Gusweiler accepted Mary Hall’s plea of guilty to one count of Trafficking in Heroin with the specification that the offense was committed in the vicinity of a juvenile and one count of misdemeanor Endangering Children. Judge Gusweiler found that Mary Hall was not the titled owner of the vehicle. The remaining counts and specifications were dismissed upon a motion by the State. On October 14, Jeremiah Hall pled guilty to two counts of Trafficking in Heroin with the specification that the offense was committed in the vicinity of a juvenile and one count of misdemeanor Endangering Children.

Letters to the Editor
How has BCRH hospital gone bankrupt? Dear Editor, I have been a resident of Brown County for over 8 years now and I choose in most cases not to utilize the medical services around this county because in whole, medical services are very weak in this region, especially at the hospital as I have had my share of unprofessionalism, lack of timing, mistakes, overcharging and the list goes on. I recently was referred to Peak Performance, which is part of the hospital, that is funded by VA, Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance, government insurance and for us that are forced to pay out of pocket because the cost of health insurance is off the roof top in price not only through an employer, but through selfinsurance. In my first visit there for approximately 45 minutes. of physical therapy, I was charged $457.00, but they indicated that if I paid in full that day, I could have a 40% discount, which would be $274.00! I couldn't believe what I was hearing nor seeing, as I was supposed to be attending two times a week! I
considered my options whether to start some payment plan with the hospital or pay in full? After much consideration, I opted to pay in full and was nothing but angry when I left, as I completely felt "robbed". That next business day I called a few other physical therapy places around the Brown/Clermont area, only to learn that their fee was $70.00 and $75.00 for "self pay", no matter what was requested or done per visit. I felt really angry, robbed, jerked around. As soon as I learned this information, I contacted the hospital's credit office to make sure I was charged correctly and was told that yes I had been charged correctly that they charge the same for all, except they have to "write off" 40% for the other insurance that it's the same for "self pay individuals" to offer the same discount. I spoke with the Director of Finance and asked that it be looked at as to what they are charging, in the midst of a yawn or two, which showed such care for the person in whom she was speaking to, I could tell that I had
Vote no for McKinney Mart Dear Editor, What’s really behind the vote yes for McKinney Mart signs? A yes vote would be a vote allowing the sale of alcohol at McKinney Mart, yes that’s right an alcohol license to sell alcohol. Hamersville should be proud of the fact that their one of the few communities that is still alcohol free. Alcohol is the #1 drug problem facing our youth in the state of Ohio. Young people who drink are more likely to engage in or be subject to bad behavior like, drinking and riving, criminal activity and sexual assault just to name a few. • More teens drink than smoke or do drugs; • 1 in 6 eighth graders are current drinkers; • Most youth who start drinking before 21 do so at 13-14 years old; • 1 in 5 youth ages 12 to 20 binge drink; • 40 percent of kids who
begin to drink alcohol at 15 will develop alcoholism at some point; • Teenage girls who drink are 63 percent more likely to become teen mothers. It’s time to stop accepting teen drinking as a rite of passage and understand the threat alcohol poses to our youth. Despite laws in every state that makes it illegal for anyone under the age of 21 to purchase alcohol young people report that it’s easy to get and that many college and high school students drink with one goal, to get drunk! I’m not an expert on alcohol but I am a teenager who came up through the Western brown School District and currently a freshman in college who thinks we should not send the wrong message to our youth by voting for alcohol in Hamersville. A no vote would help keep our community alcohol and drug free. John Ferguson

got no where. I have proceeded to "do what I need to do" and get care elsewhere, but how can a hospital that is receiving all this funding be laying off staff and begging a large firm to buy it out be bankrupt? Here's the answer...it looks like there's just a little more corruption then meets the eye and someone or people have an extra large pocket to stash it in!
Lesson..always know up front what your ballpark charges are going to be, so you don't get jerked like me. There is no reason a place needs to charge $457.00 for 1 visit of physical therapy! This is one thing that's seriously wrong with our country and "free healthcare for everyone" isn't going to fix it! Mrs. Angela Douglas Georgetown

Business owners and industries seek communities that will welcome them and are ready for them. (2) How will you reduce the tax burden in Brown County? By working together we can create new businesses and industry that will increase the tax base in the county. This in turn will relieve some of the burden on the individual property owner. (3) Do you support the sales tax increase? No I feel that you shouldn’t have to raise the sales tax for every day operating expenses. If sales taxes are raised it should be put to the citizens first and should be for a specific purpose.
(4) Do you intend, now or in the future to have Brown County participate in any major projects? If so what are they and what is your plan to pay for them? Improving the county infrastructure the major part of the infrastructure is the county’s roadways. Each year the county sets aside money for capital improvement, seeking grants and other funding. (5) Do you support zoning? I feel zoning should be left up to each individual village or township. (6) Do you believe that is better to have fewer county employees with better pay and better benefits or more county employees with lower pay and lower benefits? You should leave that up to each elected official. My personal opinion I would hate to have to lay off someone but the hardship would be on a single person not a entire office.

MARTHA JACOB not really the way to make a good impression on one's superior, but alas, that was my choice. He was most gracious about it, and hurried right back, but I'm sure he was thinking to himself.."What's wrong with this woman?" Later in the week I found a little down time to get to know Wayne a little better, and was overwhelmed to learn that he had spent six years in the Navy and had appeared in two famous movies. The first one was "Top Gun," with Tom Cruise and the other one was "Hunt for Red October" with Sean Connery. Because both moves were filmed on Navy bases, he was cast as an extra. He described what scenes he was in and I couldn't wait to get home and watch the movies again and seek him out. That's quite a claim-tofame in my book, my only moment of immortality came when Lucille Ball nearly ran me over in a carriage at the Kentucky Derby in 1973. I am excited to be a part of The Brown County Press and look forward to working with all the communities in Brown County. I welcome any and all ideas for feature stories.
What Do You Think? Do you think women's health issues get more attention from the media than men's health issues do? Why?
Yes, I do think women's health issues get more attention than mens do, but I'm not at all sure why that is. You don't really hear that much about men's health issues. Jackie Fetters, Sardinia
I sure do think women get more media attention, I think men are much more hesitant and even scared to go to the doctor. After all, they're supposed to be strong macho men. Dale Colliver, Amelia
Yes, women's issues do get more media attention, because I believe that women are more aware of their bodies, and guys don't go to the doctor unless they have to. Cindy Gray, Mt. Orab
Women's health issues do get more publicity, I believe, but I wouldn't know why the reason for that is. Bob Peters, Mt. Orab
I do think women get more media attention than men. Men don't really want to talk about their medical problems, maybe because they're too scared. Joey Godby, Mt. Orab
Women probably do get more attention from the media, because women are pro-active. Men usually have to be forced to go to a doctor. Christina Silcox, Sardinia
Reader says Strickland deserves another term Dishonesty, secrecy, out of touch with reality . . . these are the things that come to mind when I think of John Kasich. Someone who got paid $1,000 an hour while teaching a class at OSU. Someone who made over $500,000 at his job at Lehman Brothers the year the company caused the economy to collapse. And someone who voted to send American jobs to China during his time in
Congress. I’m still waiting to hear a concrete idea or plan from John Kasich to improve the lives of Ohio’s working families. He has repeatedly proven himself to be out of touch with the values of Ohioans. There is only one candidate for Governor that you can trust and that is Ted Strickland. Gary T.

Thanks to the local fire departments and thoughtful strangers Dear Editor, Saturday my daughter and I were alerted by passing strangers that our vacant neighbor's house was on fire. Considering propane gas tanks and natural gas lines, I feel that their thoughtfulness to alert us so quickly and call the fire department saved our house, our lives and our animals lives. I also want to thank the Georgetown Fire Department, the Hamersville and Ripley fire departments for respond-
ing so quickly. I was in awe how professional and well tuned our volunteer dept was in getting the fire under control. Also they took the time to take the debris off our driveway before leaving. I just want all the people that volunteer for the Fire Dept you are special to us. I feel that we are truly blessed with our community. THANKS! Terry, Chris and Tiffany Stanley

Starting any new job can undoubtedly be a stressful situation. Fortunately, when I joined the staff at the Brown County Press last week, I felt like I was home again. I worked as a reporter for over nine years at the Highland County Press in Hillsboro, and two of my fellow employees now work at the Brown County Press, Angie Allan and Richie Butler. The only stranger to me was the editor himself, Wayne Gates. I asked my co-workers about him to get the lowdown on what kind of a boss he would be. Everything I heard was positive and I looked forward to meeting him. One of the first things I learned was that he has a young son the same age as my youngest grandson. I wasn't sure if being the 'old lady' in the office would be a good thing or a bad thing. We old folks often see things through different glasses than do the young. But time will tell. The second day on the job I left the office at the same time as everyone else. As Mr. Gates rolled out of the parking lot towards his happy home, I smiled and waved good-by. I started my car, backed it up and instantly realized I wasn't going anywhere, because I had run out of gas. I probably should have called AAA, but instead opted to call Mr. Gates on his cell phone and ask him if he would come back to the office and take me to get some gas. Now, in my experience, that's

On August 16th of this year I became one of the thousands of Ohioans that had lost my Job due to the down turn in the economy. I personally believe politics played a much larger role in the situation. As a field staff employee in Ohio for one of the largest conservation organizations I’ve traveled to all four corners of the State over the past 6 years and have met some of the best volunteers in the country and without a doubt the best benefit of the job were the friendships I gained along the way that will last a life time. I’ve been involved in conservation efforts here in Ohio I guess you could say most of my life, my first experience was at the age of 10 years (back in 1972) when my father stepped up with a group known then as The Ohioans for Wildlife Conservation and fought the antis to save our right to continue the use of the leg hold trap. This was my first exposure to politics. I recently took a much needed vacation to Colorado and now that I’m back home I’ve been spending a fair amount of time in some of my favorite tree stands with all this time I’ve had more time to think about the recent chain of events here in Ohio with the scandal or what I consider cancer that is playing out in public with the Ohio Division of Wildlife and how much of a role will politics play? This case was made public back in April of this year but I was made aware of the investigation over 3 years ago and basically sat back to see what would take place. The more
I became aware of what was going on the more I started not liking my job. It just didn’t make sense why myself along with an army of volunteers were out scratching every nickel we could get our hands on to put toward conservation efforts here in Ohio when the Foxes Guarding the Chicken House or thought to be Good Guys were apparently stealing from us? And that is exactly what they were doing, call it what you want but in a nutshell that’s what it was. If the common sportsman in Ohio would have done the same thing he or she would have been punished to the fullest extent of the law, and this episode appears to just be the “tip of the iceberg”. Now that the public has been made aware of what kind of activities the Ohio Division of Wildlife has been doing there are and very well should be a large number of Sportsman that are Outraged. If you’ve followed the story it’s ironic they are using the defense they’ve chosen. They are playing their Garrity rights, to the common law abiding person this is like Miranda their claim is they were forced into giving their statements for fear of losing their jobs. Do you know of any employers that wouldn’t fire an employee for stealing? Maybe I’m totally wrong here but more than one of the people involved took an Oath to uphold the laws of the state so they even more so than the others should be held to a higher standard. How often does a dirty cop get to keep his badge and gun? And to real-
Patient pleased with care at Meadow Wood Dear Editor, As a recent patient of Meadow Wood Care Center for skilled nursing services, I was very pleased with all the care that I received. I enjoyed my stay. The nurses and the nurse aides were very nice and very caring. I know that there are people who work in nursing facilities who do it for the money, but these folks
really do it for the care they give. They love taking care of people and that makes a big difference. My daughter is going into the healthcare field and I told her to make sure she strives to put the ‘care’ in the healthcare field, much like the staff at Meadow Wood has. Christopher Lofton
Reader grateful to Mt. Orab Women’s Club and each and each was organized and sponsored by a variety of organizations. I have heard that there are plans for similar events next year. I am encouraged and excited that our leaders and organizations are combining efforts to provide enjoyable entertainment in our village while building a sense of community. Sharon Cassidy Mount Orab
A new book, written by local author/editor Carol Cartaino, called "Myths & Truths About Coyotes, will hit book shelves on Nov. 1, 2010. The book, takes a look at the animal that has thrived so well across the country. The coyote has never been on the endangered or threatened list, and are in fact, thriving. The book covers anything and everything about the coyote, both truths and myths while answering questions on their look, habits, behavior, and how they are changing the way coyotes are viewed by people living near the secretive existance of the animal. The spread of the intelligent, adaptable and opportunistic coyote across America is one of the biggest wildlife success stories of recent years, according to the book's author. "One of the things I learned during my many months of research on coyotes is that they can run up to 40 mph," Cartaino said. "I think America was ready for a book like this, because coyotes are now our neighbors, and we all need to get to know them better. They are our most misunderstood predator." Cartaino, who grew up in New Jersey, has been a resident of Seaman, Ohio for more than 30 years and is the author of many books including Keeping Work Simple, Get Organized, Get Published, and It Happened in Ohio, which was released earlier this year. She currently offering a writing for publication seminar at Southern State Community College at the Fincastle campus. Her new book is already drawing national attention and will be featured on an upcoming episode on WVXU with Thane Maynard as well as on WLW, the "Great Outdoors" segment. Parts of the book are also going to
appear in USA Today and featured in County Living Magazine. The book is available through Amazon and has been strongly endorsed by John Williams, wildlife biologist and author of Deer Hunter's Field Guide: Pursuing Michigan's Whitetail and Jonathan Way PHD, author of Suburban Howls: Tracking the Eastern Coyote in Urban Massachusetts. Myths & Truths About Coyotes is published by Menasha Ridge Press, distributed by Publishers Group West

Dear Editor, I would like to thank the Mount Orab Women’s Club for organizing the concert held in the village park on Saturday, Oct. 9. It was a job well done. Thanks also to the sponsors, First State Bank, the Mt. Orab Food Court, LaRosa’s, Merchants national bank, and National Bank and Trust. It is my understanding this was the third concert this year
ly add salt to the wound five of the six involved have been on paid leave for six months, according to some sources that equals about 161,000.00 dollars worth of the sportsman’s dollars. If there was any other group out there that was going to cost the sportsman in Ohio that much money the NWTF, US Sportsmen’s Alliance and League of Ohio Sportsman would be putting on their orange hats and holding a rally to save the money. The wild part of this situation is if compared to other wildlife employees crimes versus punishment incidents a Wildlife Officer from District 4 was given 3 days off without pay when his beagle puppy chewed a hole in a state owned ATV and an Officer in District 5 committed a felony and so far has receive a verbal reprimand? That folks, is almost laughable. If the sportsman in Ohio would just take a moment and look back over the past 6 weeks, 6 months, or for that matter the past 6 years and ask themselves what has the county wildlife officer in your county done for conservation efforts not including writing citations for game violations? Don’t get me wrong folks, enforcement of game laws should be a vital part of what the Division of Wildlife does, or I guess we should wait to see what the outcome of this court case is where one or more than one of their own apparently broke a game law or committed a felony to see how important that part of what they do really is? But game law enforcement aside what are these folks really doing for conservation? There have been and are some GREAT folks in this organization that do everything they can for us as sportsman here in the state of Ohio but it sure does look as though a few dirty ones are making the rest of them look bad? Some of you reading this probably remember last fall before deer season the Chief launched a campaign to harvest a doe to reduce the doe deer population? He titled the campaign “The Chiefs Challenge”. Here’s a challenge from an Avid sportsman in Southwestern Ohio for the Governor, ODNR Director Sean Logan, Assistant Director Rich Milleson, Deputy Director Tony Cellebresse, or the Chief himself. Man up and do what’s right clean up the image of the Division and have your folks worry more about what’s best for the sportsman in Ohio and not about how many perks (like free tickets to a Bengal or Reds game) and Pro Staff positions they can acquire?

Commissioners seek answers to keep extension office BY Martha Jacob The Brown County Press Brown County The Extension office staff, like so many other county extension offices, has experienced major budget cuts and along with the county commissioners, is looking into any and all possible

remedies to the problem. Commissioners from Brown, Highland and Adams County met Oct. 13 to openly discuss the possibility and wisdom in sharing extension agents. According to Shane Wilkin, Highland County Commissioner, funding for the extension office in his county has gone from $200,000 to less than $48,000 this year. "It's been rough for the extension office and I wish we could do more," Wilkin said. "If we could find a way to share these positions of a 4-H agent, family and consumer sciences (FCS) and an agriculture and natural resources (ANR) agent, we feel it would benefit all the counties involved, by sharing the costs, as well as the agents." Currently, each county has its own staff and assumes the costs. Kathy Jelley, educator of family and consumer sciences and the local extension office director admits that it's time for some changes in her Brown County office. "Like everyone else, we're facing some serious financial issues," Jelley said. "Of course we'd prefer to have our own full staff like we've always had, but I don't think that's going to happen. I know our commissioners are working hard to support us and we appreciate it. "I don't necessarily see joining forces with two or even three other counties as a negative thing. It is very important to support these programs in Brown County, especially our 4H program." In a written proposal from The Ohio State University Extension, referred to as a 'cluster,' each county will maintain an Extension office supported by the current support staff, have one full time 4_H educator, have one ANR agent onethird of the time, an FCS agent one-third of the time and one family nutrition program, supervised by the FCS educator. In a breakdown of expenses annually Brown County would pay $130,000, Highland County would pay $102,546 and Adams County would pay $103,763. County Brown Commissioner Margery Paeltz stated that the local extension
office already shares a 4H educator with another county and has for some time. "The problem is," Paeltz said, "Our county is being asked to share the biggest expense. Every county in Ohio has been forced to tighten our budgets and as much as we'd like to continue our support to the extension office, it is not mandated that we do so. We have to supply office space and have always shared the cost in the
past." Paeltz also said that if their office is going to be required to support the programs, then they (the commissioners) should have some say in which programs are supported. The commissioners from all counties involved are awaiting more information from OSU and a tentative meeting has been scheduled for 9 a.m. Friday, November 5 at the Highland County Commissioners office.

WB school board prepares for changes in hiring teachers BY Martha Jacob The Brown County Press Jina Bohl, Director of Curriculum Instruction, Federal Programs Coordinator for Western Brown Local Schools, spoke briefly at the Oct.18, Western Brown Local Board of Education meeting, about the 'Race to the Top' program currently being implemented at the schools. The program is the result of a four year grant allocation of $393,104, to be used to put together a comprehensive education reform plan to bring school standards up in reading and math. Bohl discussed several areas of change including standards and assessments, using data to improve instruction and having great teachers and leaders. The 'Race to the Top' program is designed to reward those states leading the way in comprehensive education reform. Bohl reminded the board of the changes in hiring teachers that the board will be faced with beginning January 2011. According to the Ohio Department of Education, House Bill 1 which was signed by the governor in July 2009, it mandates a new licensure system for teachers in Ohio, including a resident educator license.
The new law requires a fouryear residency as a teacher before a teaching license is actually obtained. Since 2003, beginning Ohio teachers tested for their teaching license following graduation from school. Teachers spent a year-long structures program with mentoring and assessments. "Because of these changes it will take at least seven years experience before tenure can be achieved," Bohl explained. "As a whole it's a better program. Its going to produce highly effective teachers and principals." In other board business, the board approved work sessions, financials, investments, and heard the treasurer's evaluation. A transportation contract was approved as was the 5-year forecast. The next scheduled meeting of the board of education will be November 15.

GREATEST MIRACLE Our God is the God of great miracles. God brought a nation out from within a nation. From out of the nation of Egypt God brought the children of Israel. At that time Egypt was the most powerful nation in the world. No one could exceed their power. However, God was going to make His people into a nation all on its own. When Joseph was governor over Egypt he gave Jacob and his sons land. During 400 years of occupying that land they grew into a great congregation of people. When God decided that it was time He brought forth that great congregation out of the land of Egypt. In order to accomplish this great exodus, God brought 10 plagues upon the land and the people of that powerful nation. Under the leadership of Moses the children of Israel left with all their belongings and their animals. When they arrived at the Red Sea God performed another miracle. He opened the Red Sea so that the children of Israel could cross over on dry ground. When Pharaoh’s army tried to follow He closed the waters over them and all Pharaoh’s men were drown. But even after all the children of Israel’s faith was not what it ought to be. Still, He allowed them to seek out the land, they decided to choose 12 men, one from each tribe, to spy out the land. When the 12 men came back, 10 gave an evil report and 2 gave a good report. The 2 men were Joshua and Caleb. Even though the people knew that God had promised them the land they chose to believe the 10 men with the evil report. They began to groan and moan and complain; human nature took over. Of course, they did not get to cross over into the promised land at that time. Well now, look with me in the 19th chapter of Exodus. Verse 1: “In the third month, when the children of Israel were gone forth out of the land of Egypt, the same day came they into the wilderness of Sinai.” Verses 3-5: “And Moses went up unto God, and the LORD called unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel; Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles’ wings, and brought you unto myself. Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a pecu-

DR. CHARLES SMITH MT. ORAB BIBLE BAPTIST CHURCH www.bbcmtorab.com liar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine.” There is that word if again! It is a qualification, a stipulation in order to receive the blessing. God was going to make them a treasure to Himself above all people “if”. Verse 7: “And Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and laid before their faces all these words which the LORD commanded him. And all the people answered together, and said, All that the LORD hath spoken we will do...” Wouldn’t it be wonderful if it were true? So the LORD told Moses that the people were to prepare. Verse 10: “And the LORD said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify them to day and to morrow, and let them wash their clothes, And be ready against the third day...” There is something about that third day, is there not? They were to wash their clothes, get cleaned up. They were going to meet with God! In chapter 20 God gave Moses the Ten Commandments. They were never intended to get anyone to heaven. These people were God’s people before He gave them these commandments! They had to offer a blood sacrifice to be cleansed from their sin. Christ sacrificed Himself for our sin and offered His own blood. You know, we also are going to meet with God someday. We are to get cleaned up. We are to be prepared. How? By believing that Christ is the only begotten Son of God; That He died for your sin and He arose again the third day. Repent of your sin, accept Christ as your Saviour by asking God the Father for forgiveness in the name of Christ. Then you will be washed in the blood of the Lamb. Your garments will be white as snow! You will be prepared to meet your God. That is the greatest miracle of all!

Tracy Hawkins, track coach, approached the board to request permission for the track team to attend a special indoor track competition, scheduled for March, 2011. "I wanted to get this request in early," explained Hawkins. This event is very important to our track team and we are excited. The meet is on a college campus and its an honor to have so many athletes qualify for the event. It will be a great opportunity for our kids to be recognized at the next level. We have several athletes who could win." The board thanked Ms. Hawkins for bringing the event to the attention so early in the year. Hawkins went on to say that
the event would not cost the district any money, since no buses were needed, and she had volunteered her time to coach the team.

New program aims to ease Kindergarten transition BY Martha Jacob The Brown County Press The Kindergarten teachers from Hamersville Local School attended the Oct. 18 Western Brown Local Board of Education meeting and shared success stories with the board members about the recently implemented Ready School program. According to Jina Bohl, Director of Curriculum Instruction Federal Programs Coordinator for Western Brown, the Ready School Grant was one of four $15,000 grants issued through United Way. "We were excited to get this grant since our school wasn't among the first 10 to receive them," Bohl said, "but United Way extended the program and picked up four more schools on its own and we were chosen along with Mt. Orab Elementary and Georgetown. "These teachers have done an excellent job stretching the funds as far as possible and really know how to budget money. In fact, I've had to keep on them to spend the money." Teachers taking part in the Ready School program include Teri Stephenson, Angela Walters, Kathy Meeker and Debbie Adkins. Each of the teachers discussed different parts of the program they implemented. "The idea and purpose of the program is to help new students coming into kindergarten adjust as easily as possible," added Bohl. "That first day of school can be traumatizing not only to the child but for the parent too. The efforts of these teachers have made the process a positive and enjoyable experience."

Eric Toole, treasurer for Georgetown Village Schools, told school board members that the five-year forecast for the school district didn't look rosy. "I would venture to say that about 95 percent of the fiveyear forecasts across the state are not looking good," Toole said during the Oct. 20 board meeting. "I understand that the next state budget is facing a deficit that could be as high as $8 billion." Toole said that in his forecast he tried to take into account some of the potential cuts the district could see. "I've tried to see what the state has recommended, even though it is entirely up to us, that at the very least we are projecting a
'flatline' from state revenue," he added. "The way I see it we can expect about a 7 percent cut in our funding, but it could be even bigger losses than that. The bottom line is, this is a very speculative forecast which depends on how much state funding comes down. At the very least we better start making some plans on how to address this situation." During the meeting, Perianne Germann, principal of the Jr/Sr high school, reported that the high school only has three seniors who have not passed a portion of the OGT (Ohio Graduation Test), which is required for students to graduate from high school. "We're keeping our fingers crossed for these three students," Germann said. "It's been a real challenge for our staff to help students

Hospital sale collapses again CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 and considering options." The press release from Patterson continues below: "The Brown County General Hospital Board of Trustees have worked with Falcon since July on the sale of the hospital and are disappointed that Falcon decided to terminate the proposal submitted in early June. The BCGH Board of Trustees and the Board of Commissioners are reviewing other opportunities that could be available to the hospital including two other proposals that had been submitted to the hospital," said Patterson. He indicated that the hospital has made significant operational improvements during the past year and the hospital is beginning to reap the benefits of these initiatives. Some of these initiatives came as a result of the work that had
been undertaken during negotiations with Essent Healthcare while others are a result of recruiting new physicians that have recently joined the medical staff of Brown County General Hospital. "The hospital would like to find an organization that could provide capital investments in the facility and physical plant to develop and implement the improvement initiatives that were identified by Essent and Falcon, however, we will continue to operate as an independent entity.

Brown County. The commissioners are not part of the unemployment insurance program that means Brown County would have to pick up 100% of unemployment benefits. As your county commissioners I would be more involved, working with the hospital board of trustees. By asking questions there has to be a reason why three major companies have backed out in the final stage of the purchasing process.” Question four was “Please sum up your philosophy on the role of government in the lives of Brown county citizens and your role as a commissioner. “ EAGAN: “The role of government is to ensure the safety and welfare of its citizens.” PAELTZ: “County Government is supported through taxpayer’s dollars, which in turn provides a wide variety of services for the citizens who visit, live and or work here. Brown County residents deserve and expect to be treated respectfully and fairly. Local government also provides many services to enhance the lives for the future to be built upon. Investing in our future is a positive business adventure. My role as your county commissioner is as stated in the Ohio Revised Code: The County commissioners are the leaders of the county government. They hold title to all county projects, serve as the sole taxing authority for the county, and control county purchasing. They are the budget and appropriating authority for the county, and are responsible for setting of the budget for every agency, court, and office holder in the county. The commissioners are also responsible for water, sewer, and trash disposal, annexations, and public assistance programs. The final question was “Please share on additional issue that is important to you that has not been addressed in the questions above.” PAELTZ: “There are many wonderful services we want to be able to provide for our citizens. But in these challenging times we need to prioritize our needs and in our future we can for our wants... plan Communication leads to understanding, and understanding leads to positive outcomes. Providing services within a budget is a challenge in today’s world, but this challenge I take very seriously. I enjoy going to work each and every day to accomplish the mission of providing the best services for you. I attend many evening meeting as well to gather information so as to be able to keep updated and in tune about the world around us. I am proud to call Brown County home, and I know you are too. Let’s work together to be the best we can be in the land of the free BROWN COUNTY!!!” EAGAN: “Improving the county infrastructure is vital to the growth of Brown County attracting new business and industry to the county.”
BY Martha Jacob The Brown County Press The key topic of conversation at the Oct. 19 RipleyUnion-Lewis-Huntington Local School District Board of Education was the recent release of the schools report card from the Ohio Department of Education. Each of the principals of the districts schools were on hand to discuss the outcome of the report. The purpose of the school report card is to show the progress that schools have made based on four measures of performance, including state indicators, performance index, adequate yearly progress and value-added. The combination of the four measures is the basis for assigning state designations to districts, buildings and community schools. In a report from the elementary school principal, Mrs. Owens, the board was informed that helping third graders read at their grade level is a high priority and concern for her teachers. "We're all working hard to help these students have positive behavior and learn respect for each other," Owens said. "Although we have a way to go, I feel we are making real progress in those areas." To meet a test indicator for grades 3-8 and 10, at least 75% of students tested must score proficient or higher on that test. Other indicator requirements are, 11th grade Ohio Graduation Tests, 85%, attendance rate 93% with a graduation rate of 90%. RULH Elementary 3rd grade achieved 80.8% in reading and 84.6% in math, both above the state average. 4th grade achieved 77% in reading and 64.9% in math. Middle School, 5th grade achieved 75% in reading, 44.3% in math and 65.9% in science. 6th grade achieved 82.2% in reading and 70% in math. 7th grade achieved 87.3% in reading and 77.2% in math. 8th grade achieved 84.8% in reading, 60.6% in math and 71.2% in science. High school students in 10th grade taking the Ohio Graduation Test achieved

She added that if Hamilton does not surrender the dogs, CART will bill her for boarding and medical fees as well as for costs incurred during the extraction. Morrison said that the boarding fee alone is two hundred dollars a day and that as of Nov. 1, the fee will go up to four hundred dollars a day.

Morrison said if Hamilton refuses to give up the dogs, she can expect a bill that would be “well over ten thousand dollars.” Williams of Shaylen Covington turned over “Taco”, a male chihuahua, to Hamilton in November of 2008 after she had to move to an apartment. Williams responded to an ad on Craigslist placed by Hamilton. She is very upset with the current situation and blames Hamilton for not keeping her promise to take care of Taco. “She told me what I wanted to hear when she agreed to take him”, Williams said. “I just wanted a better life for him and I feel awful about what happened to him.” When asked how she felt about Hamilton now, Williams was blunt. “She should be locked in a hot house and covered with
fleas and feces herself. She has no business ever being responsible for any animals ever again.” Morrison said that the dogs will be spayed and neutered thanks to a generous donation by the League for Animal Welfare, but those plans are now on hold pending the outcome of Hamiltons charges. Morrison said that if the legal status of the dogs is resolved in CART’s favor, the Brown County Humane Society will take custody of them and begin adoption proceedings. She said information and pictures of the dogs can be found at www.TriStateCART.com. Morrison added that donations to defray the cost of caring for the dogs are still needed and that anyone wishing to help can send donations to TriState CART, P.O. Box 158, Harrison, OH 45030.
Western Brown sprays for bedbugs, parents upset CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 All potentially impacted areas in both buildings were professionally treated during the Brown County Fair break. The treatment was done by a professional company and consisted of using a non-toxic chemical certified for use in schools that has a residual effect lasting about three (3) months. Potentially impacted school buses were also treated at the same time. Affected students are being checked by the school nurse each morning. Since the fair break, no bed bug evidence has been found at MOES and only one student at MOMS has been found to have any evidence of the pests. Custodians have been asked to be especially vigilant in their cleaning and they have been made aware of what they should be looking for. I am pleased to report to you there have been no further sightings reported since the fair break. It is the GOAL of the Western Brown Local School District to provide a safe and healthy environment
for its staff and students and we are taking every measure possible to ensure that. Given the fact that bed bugs seem to be an ever increasing national and regional issue impacting many public facilities we, as a community, need to be prepared to deal with the issue. May I suggest that go to the Ohio Department of Health's web site for more information as they have a wealth of information on this topic.”

Homeschoolers visit BioGene Seeds On Wednesday, Oct. 6, 2010, the Southern Ohio High School Home School Group went on a field trip to the BioGene Seeds headquarters in Sardinia, Ohio to learn about corn science. This workshop was taught by Drew Lawwill. They were impressed by all the knowledge that they acquired during their visit. They learned about the corn business, seed production, genetically-modified organisms (GMO), corn species, and corn uses (such as food, fuel, feed, and fiber), and so much more valuable information. They even ate a delicious treat consisting entirely of corn products which was made by Mrs. Lawwill. Everyone agreed this field trip to BioGene Seeds was a wonderful way to study real life applications related to biology and botany.

Mom and Dad, Congratulations on 40 years of marriage. You have been a great example of what marriage is supposed to be. I want to thank you for the wonderful parents that you are. You raised us in a good Christian home and always led by example. You were strict on us but loved us unconditionally. If you said it you meant it and I have always appreciated your honesty and stability. Thanks so much for teaching us how to work. You always told us whatever you do, do it to the best of your ability. This work ethic brings much satisfaction in life and creates independence that we all need. And thanks for showing us how to treat others as we want to be treated. Your kindness and generosity are a blessing to everyone you meet. You always said “character is what you do when no one is watching”. You both are people of great character and always do what’s right no matter what. You advice has always been right (I hate to admit it) and with pure motives. You have such wisdom about life. On the occasions that I didn’t take your advice I got the privilege of hearing Dad’s special version of the song “I told you so”. What a song, I know it by heart. I thank God everyday for the family He has given me. I truly consider it a gift. You have always been there when we needed you. Thanks for all your love and help with the grandkids at “somebody’s gotta care daycare” (another good one Dad). I couldn’t have done it without you. No wonder they never wanted to leave the farm when we went to pick them up. They have so many priceless childhood memories there. Through all the hard work, fun and holidays we have had, not to mention the countless delicious meals (thanks Mom), this family has had so much joy in everything we do together. Mom, you have been a great wife to our father and a wonderful mother and grandmother to us. Dad, you have been a great husband to our mother and a wonderful father and grandfather to us. You two truly are the best of friends and it shows. Your riches exceed any that money could buy. For all you do, all you’ve done and all you are, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I am truly proud to be your daughter. I love you. All my love and respect always, Becky

Broncos beat Barons on homecoming The Western Broncos kept their Southern Buckeye Conference title hopes alive by beating the Amelia Barons on homecoming night, of 28-14. “Amelia played man and blitzed the house, which challenged our receivers to make catches,” said Western coach Evan Dreyer. “We had some drops, but we made some nice plays late. Our defense stepped up and played well tonight.” The Bronco defense forced a punt on Amelia’s first drive of
the night, but a nice kick pinned the Western offense back at its own 12 yard line. The Broncos’ first touch nearly resulted in disaster. After gaining no yards in the possession, Brad Rhodes punted from his own goal line. Amelia’s Zac Hultz received the punt and weaved his way through the Western special team, scoring a touchdown with 45-yard scamper. But the score was nullified for an illegal block. Amelia marched a short field down to the Broncos’ 10, but the Western defense held, getting the ball off a turnover on downs.
The Brown County Press/RITCHIE BUTLER
Western’s Andrew White (65) and Walker Davis (64) lay a block on an Amelia defender during the Broncos’ win.
The two teams traded punts in each of the next two possessions. When Western got the ball back, Nick Woodyard ran 56 yards on first down for a score. Rhodes added the extra point, giving the Broncos a 7-0 lead with 7:58 left in the second quarter. Amelia went three-and-out, punting the ball back to the Broncos, who took over at their own 34 yard line. On the first play from scrimmage, Woodyard found Jake Banfil with a pass over the middle good for a 42-yard gain. After a personal foul on the Barons, Woodyard found Rhodes in the end zone with a 12-yard touchdown strike. Rhodes made the PAT, giving the Broncos a 14-0 lead with 5:19 remaining in the half. The Barons drove from their own 29 to the Western 30, but the possession ended when Collin Bellini picked off a Tanner Owens pass in the end zone for a touchback. The half ended with Western in front, 14-0. The Broncos started the second half with good field position (their own 47), but were forced to punt after Woodyard was sacked. Rhodes’ punt carried 37 yards, giving Amelia its first touch starting at the Barons’ 21 yard line. Amelia put together an 18play, nine minute scoring drive which ended with Cameron Wisby plunging in from fouryards out. Robby Jansen added the extra point, trimming Western’s lead to 14-7 with 2:05 left in the third period. The Broncos responded. After a short kickoff return by
Justin Dillinger, Western started its drive at its own 24. After a Woodyard keeper for three yards, Amelia was whistled for four penalties. The first was offsides. The second was pass interference. The third was an unsportsmanlike conduct, putting the ball in Amelia territory. On the very next play, Amelia was whistled for pass interference again. After Woodyard found Rhodes with a 22-yard pass, the senior quarterback snuck it in from inches away. Rhodes PAT was good, giving the Broncos a 21-7 lead with 54 seconds left in the third. The Barons embarked on a six minute, 13-play scoring drive. The big play in the series was a fake punt. Owens took the direct snap and romped 16 yards for a first down. But he was injured on the play. Backup quarterback Gabe Weaver found Brandon Cafferty nine plays later for a 15-yard score. Jansen made the extra point, cutting Western’s advantage to 21-14. The ensuing squib kick was recovered by Tim Cecil, giving the Broncos a first-and-10 on their own 35. Three plays later, Western faced a fourth-and-two play. The coaching staff made a decision to go for it, trying to put the game on ice. Woodyard found Rhodes over the middle and the senior receiver raced 57 yards for a touchdown. Rhodes added the extra point, giving Western a 28-14 lead with 5:49 left in the game. “We made a tough call on fourth-and-two,” said Dreyer. “What a great touchdown for Rhodes on homecoming night.” Jake Morrison ended
The Brown County Press/RITCHIE BUTLER
Western’s 2010 Homecoming Queen and King were Taylor Helton and Gunner Patton.
Amelia’s next possession when he intercepted Weaver on the second play from scrimmage. Working with a short field, Western drove the ball down to the Barons’ nine yard line. But on third down, Woodyard threw an interception to Amelia’s Joey Thompson. The Barons had new life and moved the ball to Western’s 28 yard line. On second-and-10, Weaver was picked off by Spencer Howard. The Broncos kneeled on the ball and took a hard-fought 2814 win. “The kids really believe in what we’re doing and they trust the players around them,” said Dreyer. “They are playing for
each other and the community.” Woodyard threw for 137 yards and rushed for another 88 on the night. Rhodes led the receivers with four catches, good for 96 yards. The Broncos’ defense held Amelia to just 40 yards through the air and allowed 196 yards on the ground. “Our defense held when they needed to,” said Dreyer. “Our defensive line has gotten better all season. The offensive line did a good job protecting Nick. The protection, along with communication, has really improved this season.” With the win, Western improves to 5-3 overall, 3-1 in the SBC.

Broncos a 15-11 victory in the game and a 3-2 match win. In addition to being the Lady Broncos’ fifth-straight championship, it was their sixth in nine years. Their league record over the past five seasons is an impressive 62-4, including a 33game winning streak that was snapped on Tuesday when Western fell to New Richmond. “This game was huge for our program,” said Cooper. “We lost a lot with our seniors last year, but these girls were determined to have success. I am really proud of the way they
responded after the loss to New Richmond.” The Western junior varsity team won the SBC junior varsity title with a win over Amelia on Thursday. The young Lady Broncos finished the league season with a perfect 10-0 mark. On Monday, the Lady Broncos exited the sectional tournament, falling 3-0 to Glen Este at Withrow High School. Scores were 25-21, 25-23 and 26-24. “All the games were close,” said Cooper. “We just didn’t
have that same fire we had at Amelia.” Western finished the season with an overall mark of 16-7 and an SBC record of 9-1. Western bids farewell to six seniors in Ratcliff, Emery, Waits, Hiler, Amber Huiet and Mariah Carroll. “We talked all year about out-working other teams,” said Cooper. “We went game to game, and that paid off for them. I hope they realize what they were living as far as chemistry. They were fun-loving and a great group to work with.”
Fayetteville downs CNE in OT Warriors advance with 2-0 win over Green Devils in sectional By Ritchie Butler The Brown County Press
The Fayetteville Lady Rockets upended the Clermont Northeastern Lady Rockets in sectional soccer play on Tuesday by a score of 5-3, making good on three penalty kicks after being tied 2-2 at the end of the second sudden death overtime period. “It was a great effort by both teams,” said Fayetteville coach Jim Schmidt. “It was a battle from the get-go and a great win for us.” The hosts wasted no time warming up the “Launching Pad,” scoring within the first three minutes of play. Kylie Sumner took a lead pass from Maggie Sullivan and converted a shot to the goal, giving CNE an early 1-0 edge. With 28:17 remaining in the first frame, Fayetteville got even. Brittany Dozier knocked in a header off a cross from Jill Ryan, knotting the score at 1-1. Although the action was fastpaced and very physical for the rest of the half, neither team found the net. At the break, both Lady Rockets teams were tied at 1-1. Fayetteville grabbed a 2-1 lead just six minutes into the second stanza. Des Dutro made

a shot from right in front of the net after corralling a rebound. Again, the action was fast and furious. Several yellow cards were delivered, and one red card, in the second half. With 6:27 remaining in the game, CNE tied the score at 2-2 when Lindsey Berning connected on a 35-yard direct kick. Despite several attempts by both teams, regulation play ended with a 2-2 score. In the first overtime period, Fayetteville and CNE played hard, but neither team found the goal. The blue-and-gold clad Lady Rockets had the best chance near the end of the overtime, but were unable to score despite two corner kicks in the final 30 seconds.

three. Hock-James was a terror at the net, connecting on several impressive slams. The Lady Barons led by as many as nine points, at 24-15. Tiffani Waits got hot for the Lady Broncos from behind the service line. She served four-straight points, including one ace, as Western pulled to within four, at 24-20. But the Lady Barons got a sideout, winning the game, 25-20, and taking a 2-1 match lead. Ali Hiler continued the hot serving for Western in game four, serving up four-straight points of her own, including one ace, as the Lady Broncos took a 5-0 edge. With Western on top 15-9, Hiler got hot again, serving another four points and giving the Lady Broncos a 19-9 lead. Danika Ratcliff, who played a good game in the center of the front line, also got in on the service act. She fired two aces in a three-point string as Western cruised to a 25-14 win, evening the match at 2-2. “Hock-James proved why she has been player-of-the year,” said Cooper. “Danika slowed her down, and so did Tori Emery. We’ll miss Danika’s presence in the middle next year.” With momentum on their side, the Lady Broncos saved their best game for last. Western passed, set and spiked well in the deciding game five. Alli Morgan put down a big kill for the final point, giving the Lady
The second overtime was played mainly in the middle of the field. Each team had some chances, but again were unable to convert. After 110 minutes of play, the two Lady Rockets teams were deadlocked at 2-2. After a brief conference at midfield concerning rules and procedures, each goalie went to the north end of the field for penalty kicks to decide the match. Sumner took the first kick for CNE and was successful, giving the home team a 3-2 edge. Lexi Wiederhold responded with a successful kick for Fayetteville, tying the count at 3-3. Sullivan was up next for CNE. Her shot was deflected out of the goal by rookie goalie Carrie Smith. Dozier stepped up for Fayetteville and promptly deposited her shot into the back of the net, giving the girls in green a 4-3 advantage. Chelsea Waters shot next for CNE. Her attempt was smothered by Smith. Abby Rowe made good on her try, putting Fayetteville in front, 5-3. CNE’s Jessica Kirby made a nice attempt on her kick, but the shot hit the crossbar and rattled out, giving Fayetteville a 5-3 win. “Carrie did a wonderful job in relief of Cheyenne Ramey, who hurt her fingers early in the second half,” said Schmidt. “For a freshman to step up like that really gave our team a lift. We talked about ‘refuse to lose’ during each of the breaks in overtime, and we did just that. I was pleased with our overall effort.” The win lifted Fayetteville to 11-5-1 on the season. The Lady Rockets were set to play at Finneytown on Saturday.

By Ritchie Butler The Brown County Press Eastern Warriors The advanced in sectional tournament play on Monday by defeating the North Adams Green Devils by a score of 2-0. “We played defense tonight,” said Eastern coach Dylan Fain. “The back four really played well.” Eastern broke a scoreless tie with 27:37 remaining in the first frame. Chase Lawson took a long lead pass from Conner Purdin, went airborne, and scored from the right side of the net.
The Warriors controlled the action for most of the half, but were unable to get another score, taking a 1-0 advantage into the intermission. “We had some spacing issues in that first half,” said Fain. “We possessed really well, probably controlling 65 percent of the time, but we didn’t get as many shots as we should.” The second half was much like the first. Eastern controlled most of the action in the midfield. The Warriors had a few more scoring opportunities in the second half, but were only able to get one additional goal. With 18:25 left in the game, Lawson made a header off a
cross from Jordan Payne, putting Eastern in front, 2-0. “We did a better job using our corners in the second half,” added Fain. “Nathan Scott had a good game in the midfield. I didn’t like taking Landan (Hauke) from the front, but he did a nice job in goal tonight. It was a good game and North Adams also played well.” Much like the first half, the Warriors possessed the ball for the majority of the final 20 minutes en route to the 2-0 win. The win lifted Eastern to 6-74 on the season and set up another contest with Lynchburg.

The Western Lady Broncos came from a 2-1 deficit last Thursday to defeat the Amelia Lady Barons, 3-2, claiming their fifth-straight Southern Buckeye Conference volleyball title. “That was one of those games where having the title on the line was fun,” said Western coach Heather Cooper. “We worked hard and had that fire in them. That was great volleyball on both sides.”
In game one, Amelia played well, leading the opening game by as many as eight points. The Lady Barons’ Ali Hock-James made several kills at the net. She also served an ace on the final point, giving Amelia the 25-17 game one victory. Western fought back in game two, racing to an early 8-2 lead.

a match score of 3-0. In game one, Ripley and Greeneview battled back and forth, trying to get a feel for what the opponent was trying to do. The Lady Rams figured it out first, pulling away for a 148 lead. Kody Gilkerson brought the Lady Jays back to within three, serving good on three points, including an ace, making the score 14-11. Greeneview responded with some good play at the net, eventually winning game one, 2516. Game two belonged to the Lady Rams. Greeneview did a nice job of passing, setting and spiking en route to a 25-9 win. The Lady Jays played tough in game three, getting their timing down and doing a better job receiving shots by the Lady Rams.

the game at 22-18 when she fired a service ace. The Lady Bulldogs didn’t quit, eventually tying the score at 24-24, setting up extra volleyball. After three more ties, Batavia captured two consecutive points, claiming a 29-27 win. “We knew what to expect from Batavia,” said DeVries. “They did a nice job hanging in there.” The service game was a struggle for Georgetown in game four, and the Lady Bulldogs took advantage. Despite good net play from Grant and Kidwell, the Lady GMen could not make good on many of their serves. Batavia captured game four with a 2517 win, evening the match at 22. Game five was all Georgetown. The Lady G-Men buckled down, made some nice passes and kills and won the game by a score of 15-8.

Fayetteville Rockets fall in Friday night loss to Manchester By Cory Osborne Press Contributor
CMYK
Under the Friday night lights, the Fayetteville Rockets varsity football team took on the Manchester High School Greyhounds. The Rockets were looking for their third win of the season, and would have to fight hard against a tough Greyhound team. Fayetteville freshman Cody Shaw kicked off the game on a 36-yarder to Manchester junior Ian Gulley, who only returned it eight yards on a great stop by the Rockets’ kickoff unit. Manchester’s first offensive possession earned nothing, as the Rocket defense forced them to punt on a three-and-out. The Rockets came out fired up for their first offensive possession. Leaving the huddle, the Rockets tried on a series of plays that ended up in the same result. Both defensive units came ready to play, forcing one
turnover each, in the remaining minutes of the first quarter. The first turnover came off a pass by Fayetteville junior quarterback Tanner Williams, intercepted by Manchester defensive back Travis Combs. Four plays later, the Rockets got the ball right back on a fumble by Manchester sophomore fullback Austin Diggs. Entering the second quarter, the Rockets tried to capitalize on the fumble, but were stopped just short on a fourth down incomplete pass intended for senior wide receiver Dan Metzger. With the defense playing hard, the Rockets managed to get the ball right back. Pushing down the field and threatening on a 32-yard run up the sideline by Williams. The Rockets looked solid entering the red zone, but that would not last long as the offense was stopped yet again, on another fourthdown try. Manchester took over on

downs, but began moving backwards. The Greyhounds were forced into a fourth-and-14 deep in their own territory. Manchester elected to punt, giving the Rockets great field position. With 4:41 left in the half, Fayetteville finally managed to punch it into the end zone. The Rockets scored on a sideline run from Williams. The extra point was good and with that the Rockets were up 7-0 on the Greyhounds. Before the end of the half, trouble would come again for the Rockets. On a second-and15 try, Williams was picked off for the second time by Manchester defensive back Combs. After the play was over, two personal fouls, resulting in ejections, forced Fayetteville to have to fill the position of quarterback. At the half, the Rockets named junior David Kranz their
new quarterback. Kranz was shifted from the running back position, where he started the game. After receiving the second half kickoff, the Rockets took over on offense where you could immediately tell they were missing their starting quarterback. On the fourth play from scrimmage, Kranz fumbled the ball in the backfield where Manchester senior linebacker Ian Watterson picked up the loose ball. Manchester started to run the ball with more confidence, fighting their way into the red zone, but a tough defensive stand by the rockets forced the Greyhounds to turn the ball over on a fourth-and-goal stop at the three yard line. The Rockets only hope was to get the running game going. Fighting hard with several run attempts, the Fayetteville offense was forced to punt
backed up in its own territory. Manchester came out pounding on four straight run plays, which in return earned them their first touchdown of the game. The score came on a three-yard run from sophomore fullback Austin Diggs with 3:45 left in the third quarter. After a short celebration by the Greyhound fans, they were quieted when the point after try was blocked by Fayetteville senior defensive lineman Phil Wagers. As the fourth quarter began, and with the gap closed to just one point, the Rockets needed some offense if they were going to stay in the lead. That offense never came. Manchester scored again on a quarterback keeper that was fumbled by junior quarterback Dalton Walters and immediately picked up by senior running back Ian Watterson, who punched it in the end zone for a
one-yard touchdown run. The Greyhounds converted on the two point conversion on an up the-middle run by Watterson, putting the Greyhounds up by a touchdown and extra point. The next two Rocket possessions were doomed with interceptions, both of which were picked off by Combs. The Manchester defensive back finished the game with a total of four interceptions. As the clock ticked down, the Greyhounds kneeled down and took the win with the final score of 14-7. After the game, Fayetteville Varsity Head Coach Ben Brisker said, “As a team we made mistakes, and that cost us.” The Rockets have two more games left in their first season of play. They were scheduled to play at Grove City Christian on Friday and travel to Lockland this week.

The Georgetown Lady GMen captured a volleyball sectional tournament win at Blanchester against a familiar foe, downing the Batavia Lady Bulldogs by a score of 3-2 last Saturday. “After getting the lead, we started playing a little careless,” said Georgetown coach Donna DeVries. “I am proud of them for staying with it for five games.” Trailing 11-8 in game one, Georgetown’s Emily Pittman got hot behind the service line, getting five-straight points and giving the Lady G-Men a 13-11 edge. Kaelyn Jordan and Kirsten Grant added two good service runs, propelling the Lady GMen to a 25-16 win. The Lady Bulldogs responded in game two, racing to a 159 lead. Jordan had another good run at the service line, scoring five-straight points, including two aces, pulling Georgetown to within one, at 15-14. After controlling play at the net, Grant stepped up with three consecutive service points, putting the Lady G-Men on top, 18-16. The two Southern Buckeye rivals battled the rest of the way as the game’s final minutes saw three ties. Pittman served the final two points, giving the Lady G-Men a 25-22 win.

What is canine influenza? BY DR. DAN MEAKIN Canine influenza is a newly emerging infectious disease caused by a ”flu” virus. In dogs, a highly contagious strain of the influenza A virus known as H3N8 is able to cause respiratory illness. Other strains of the influenza A virus are responsible for causing infections in birds, horses, pigs, and people. Canine influenza virus only affects dogs. How is canine influenza spread? Canine influenza spreads the same way that human flu spreads—through direct contact (kissing, licking, nuzzling); through the air (coughing or sneezing); and via contaminated surfaces (such as when a person picks up the virus on their hands or clothing, then touches or pets a dog). Spread can also occur if that same person touches and contaminates another surface. How can I protect my dog from canine influenza? Protection starts by keeping your dog in good general health. A well-nourished, wellrested, and well-cared-for pet will have a stronger immune system to help fight off infection. When you must board your pet, make sure the facility is clean, well-maintained, and that there is an influenza outbreak management plan in place. Recently, a new canine influenza vaccine – the first of its kind – was approved for use in the US. Canine Influenza Vaccine, H3N8 from Intervet/ ScheringPlough Animal Health has
been clinically proven to significantly reduce the severity of influenza and the length of time that a dog is sick. The initial vaccination requires 2 doses, 2–4 weeks apart, followed by annual revaccination. If your dog is presently being vaccinated for kennel cough (Bordetella), it is a likely candidate for Canine Influenza Vaccine, H3N8. Your veterinarian can advise
you whether this new influenza vaccine should be added to your dog’s vaccination schedule. Where can I learn more about canine influenza? Your veterinarian is the best person to answer any questions about canine influenza. Dr. Dan Meakin is the owner of All Creatures Animal Hospital, 1894 Ohio Pike in Amelia. Call (513) 797-PETS.
Is My Dog At Risk For Canine Influenza Infection? Most dogs, regardless of breed or age, are at risk for canine influenza. However, certain venues and activities can raise your dog’s risk of canine influenza infection even higher. Does your dog: • Come from a shelter, rescue center, breeding kennel, or pet store? • Board at a kennel or go to doggie daycare? • Attend group training or “dog kindergarten”? • Visit a groomer, dog parks, or engage with other dogs on daily walks? • Enter dog events? • Come into contact with other dogs in the waiting room during visits to your veterinary clinic? Vaccine Is Available at All Creatures Animal Hospital!

A great 2010 Brown County Fair I hope you had a great experience at the Little State Fair Sept. 27 through Oct. 2. My first fair as a Director has been a positive outlook for the future.

All were very good and we should be proud of the caliber of talent in our area. Tina Cooper and her crew of parking people did their selves proud at the fair this year.

Only two more weekends for the Haunted Hills During a recent Haunted Hills at Magic Waters even Mother Nature took part by painting an eerie backdrop for the entire experience. As folks came out of the woods and headed back up the hill, they were greeted with a sky full of bats, witches, ghosts ,and other strangely spooky images which were not only surprising but actually also beautiful! Who but Mother Nature could pull that off?! Many folks are aware that the sky at Magic Waters is the best place around for sky-watching, but this natural Halloween aerial mural was almost beyond belief! It would be nice if she decides to pull it off again for the rest of the Haunted Hills evenings, but backdrop or not,
some numbers of Junior Fair people. There are 6500 youth in Brown Co. and 1300 of them participated in the fair. Most of us adults working at the fair have roots in Junior Fair when we were young. These people will be the leaders of Brown Co. Fair in the future. I know they will do a great job of carrying on The Tradition Like No Other. Please remember what a Great job our Extension Office does for Brown Co. all year round. This year at the Brown Co. Fair has been a year of memories. We have lost some of the pioneers of the fair this year.
