Hensley may trade testimony for deal A deal appears to be in the works in the death penalty trial of Joseph Hensley, possibly in exchange for his testimony against Dallas Tincher. Tincher is also facing the death penalty for allegedly hiring Hensley to kill John Carpenter of Aberdeen in April. At a hearing on Oct. 26, Common Pleas Judge Scott Gusweiler said “It is the Courts understanding that there have been significant discussions about resolving Mr. Hensley’s case”. Hensley was named by Brown County Prosecuting Attorney Jessica Little as a possible witness in the
Tincher trial in court papers filed last month. Neither Little or Hensley attorney Bruce Wallace had any comment regarding a possible deal. Cincinnati area attorney Eric Deters, consulted by the Press as a legal expert, said it “makes logical sense” that Hensley would have to testify against Tincher to earn any sort of deal or consideration from Little. Tinchers trial is set to begin in December. The hearing on the Hensley case was scheduled for 11:30 a.m., but shortly before it began, Gusweiler asked Wallace, Little and their cocounsels to come into his chambers. They remained there for
over 30 minutes. When they emerged and the hearing began, Gusweiler referenced the “lengthy discussions” and asked both parties if they had any objection to having the conversation on the record. Neither side objected. the hearing, During Wallace asked that pending motions filed before the court be “held in abeyance” or suspended. One of those motions was to suppress the confession Hensley to investigators. confession was That recounted in the Sept. 19 edition of the Brown County Press. Gusweiler asked Wallace “Mr. Wallace you are not desiring and you are waiving
the necessity for me to rule on the motion to suppress at this time?” “Yes, your honor, at this time”, answered Wallace. Gusweiser also clarified that he was being asked to hold motions in abeyance that asked for more money to pay for a defense expert, investigator and psychologist. Wallace said that was the case at this time as well. Gusweiler then told Wallace that he needed to provide an accounting of the expenses involved in defending Hensley to date by Nov. 30. Deters said that development is telling as well. “If rulings are being held in abeyance and defense costs CONTINUED ON PAGE 9

Brown County Hospital up for sale again BY Martha Jacob The Brown County Press It's back to the drawing board for the Brown County Board of Commissioners and the trustees of Brown County Regional HealthCARE, after the latest potential buyer of the facility decided against purchasing the hospital. The commissioners wasted no time in passing a resolution to once again solicit for bids for the sale or lease of the assets and operations of the hospital, which would assure that health care would continue for the citizens of the community. The process of selling the hospital began earlier this year, but after months of negotiations with Essent HealthCARE Inc. fell through and in late April, withdrew it's bid. In early June, the hospital went back up for sale and negotiations began with Falcon Investors, LLC, Harrison, New York. Hospital board members were hopeful as the buyout looked hopeful at the Oct. 15 board of trustees meeting. But only a week later, following the 'due diligence process' Falcon withdrew their proposal. In late May, hospital president of the board of trustees, Eric Sontag said that the hospital would continue to provide services to the community as it has for the past 58 years. "The time has come for the community to return such loyalty through the use of hospital services and locally available physicians and medical specialists," Sontag told the Brown County Press. The Brown County Hospital is not alone in its struggle to attract patients and remain viable, according to

Rand Corporation Health Research. The Rand Corporation is a nonprofit research organization. An article released by Rand stated that nearly three-fourths of all rural hospitals are losing money and some have even been forced to file bankruptcy in recent years. It suggested that rural residents may believe that the quality of care in rural hospitals is poor or they may be uninformed about all the available services and technologies, which may be adequate for patient needs. Brown County has approximately 50,000 residents, and the Brown County Regional HealthCARE covers the county with medical facilities including: *Brown County General Hospital, Georgetown *Brown County Family Physicians, Georgetown *Brown County Surgical Group, Georgetown *Brown County Home HealthCARE, Georgetown *Bethel Regional Family HealthCARE *Mt.

Money sought for new overpass BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press The village of Mt. Orab is asking the state for help in upgrading the 32/68 intersection and overpass. Mayor Bruce Lunsford led a delegation to Columbus earlier this month to give a presentation on the need for a new overpass to the Ohio Department of Transportation. They were given a few minutes to present their case to the Transportation Review Advisory Council or TRAC, which approves all projects over five million dollars within the state.
Lunsford was armed with a traffic study that said the intersection is rated an “F” for traffic flow and safety according to ODOT’s own standards. An F is the lowest ranking possible. The village paid $67,000 for the study. Lunsford said the study was an expensive but necessary part of the application process. “It’s harder for them to ignore hard data based on their own standards”, Lunsford said. “Since our study showed it was an ‘F’, I would hope we’d get some priority.”
Lunsford added that the process is a slow one, and that it could be 2013 or later before construction begins if the project is approved. The proposed project is budgeted at almost six million dollars. It includes widening the overpass from two lanes to five, widening the East and West exit ramps on Route 32 to two lanes and installing traffic signals at both exit ramps. Lunsford said that while five million dollars is a lot of money, it’s a small project compared to projects costing tens of millions of dollars that TRAC routinely approves. “This solves a severe prob-

lem (for us) for very little money in their big budget”, Lunsford said. The next step in the project would be Preliminary Engineering, which Lunsford estimated to be 600 thousand dollars in a letter he submitted to TRAC. Lunsford requested money from TRAC to fund the the Preliminary Engineering work. After the engineering, the project would require detailed design. Lunsford informed TRAC that the village plans to ask for funding for that part of the project next year. CONTINUED ON PAGE 9
New Brown County Dog Warden is on 27 indicted, most for the job and planning to make changes drug and theft charges BY Martha Jacob The Brown County Press With over 40 applicants vying for the job of Brown County Dog Warden, at least one applicant stood out from the rest, according to Brown County Commissioner Margery Paeltz. The application deadline for the position of Chief Dog Warden for Brown County was October 6, and on Oct. 25, the commissioners named Andrew Dunn to the position and David Hurst as deputy dog warden, will join John Craig, current deputy dog warden. Former dog warden Bill Frazier resigned on Sept. 23, stating that he could no longer do the job he was hired to do for the same pay, after the animal shelter lost funding which
paid the salaries of at least two employees. The shelter has been maintained by Craig and volunteers from the humane society since his departure.
"This young man (Dunn) will make an excellent dog warden," Paeltz said. "He's got a background in the military, he's a local and he seems CONTINUED ON PAGE 9

schools," Hill stated. "We'd like to have banners in front of our schools row after row, like the athletes do." In other business during the regular scheduled school board meeting held Oct. 21, treasurer, Joanna Carraher submitted the district's 5-year forecast and expressed her uncertainty on its strength because of the almost daily changes being made to the schools finances. "I didn't even find out until last week that I was supposed to include any Job Ed grant funds," Carraher said, "but I'm not going to include those funds until next year. Things are going to change some, but the first two years of the forecast are okay. But we just don't know what's going to happen with tax revenues, and now it doesn't matter how many students we have even with open enrollment." Carraher added that the new health plan in the works is also going to have an effect on the schools budget as well as salaries. She said that many issues would be a game of wait-and-see until after the election, and that things were changing every day. The board approved the 5year forecast. Hill told the board that he had received the results of a recent survey instituted at the state level that has recommended the state should consider consolidating more than
200 schools as a way of absorbing some of the costs. "This survey is just a study, and it has a lot of flaws," Hill said. "The question I have is how would consolidating small rural schools make them more efficient. Look at things in Columbus, Cleveland or Cincinnati, where there has always been consolidation, that's where the largest expenditures are today. I'm sure we're going to be hearing more about this topic in the future." Brenda Reed updated the board on the 'Race to the Top' grant process, and reported that they had completed the Scope of Work, which had to be filed with ODE by Oct.22. The board approved the Scope of Work document. Following a 30 minute executive session, the board voted to approve: *a professional day request * travel by several teachers * hiring Edna Saylor as a cafeteria sub * create a new Title 1 aide position * create a new part-time certificated position from Title I funds * post supplemental positions with certified employees * hire Carmen Carson as HS varsity softball coach * discussed superintendent and treasurer evaluations * contract to transport special education students
* accept a quote from Edwin H. Davis and Sons, Inc. for engine repairs to bus 18, not to exceed $4,278. The next regular scheduled board meeting is set for Thursday, Nov. 18.

Trolling for uninformed voters and catching a few
Celebrating Halloween with a ‘tween’ is a scream I love Halloween. My 7 year old loves it too, and I usually buy him more than one costume each year. We do multiple parties and events, so that’s fine. Then we have my almost 10 year old. Last year he insisted on being a zombie complete with a mask. A half hour before trick-or-treating started he threw a fit about the mask that came with it being too tight and too itchy. He then announced that he wasn’t going trick-or-treating. Thankfully, I have tons of costumes and he ended up going as something else. This year, I started asking him early what he wanted to be. We discussed lots of ideas, but most of his friends
JENI WHITAKER, COLUMINIST wouldn’t get them so he nixed them (i.e. Dwight from The Office or Stan Lee) So then we made our rounds to the Halloween stores. He really didn’t see anything he liked. He claimed everything was too babyish. So last week, I told him I was buying his and his brother’s costumes that night; here is the conversation: Me: Did you decide on a costume? V: Just pick something.
Me: No, you tell me something. Do you want to be Avatar? V: Lame. Me: Do you want to be something dead? A dead football player, dead astronaut, etc? V: Stupid. Me: You decide right now, or you won’t be anything. V: Get me the alien cyborg costume. Me: Fine V: Nope! Nevermind! You had a look! You think it sucks! Me: I did not have a look. It’s fine if that’s what you want to be. V: Nope, you had a look. I don’t want to be anything. I will admit that I “had a look”. However, the look
was more irritation about him saying that now considering he could have said that from the beginning, and it was a dumb costume. I trekked to the Halloween stores. Nothing seemed interesting enough for him. I finally ended up in a Goodwill store, and found a cool Ghostbusters shirt. I bought pants to match, and was already designing the Proton Pack backpack in my head when I called to tell him all about it. His response: “I am not being a Ghostbuster. You need to remember they were cool in your era, not mine!” Thank you for making me feel old and out of touch. Got to love your tweens!
Letters to the Editor

Staubach responds to claim that dog seizure was personal Dear Editor, As your readers already know, 36 Chihuahuas and 2 mixed-breed dogs were removed from a house in Sardinia. These tiny, fragile canines were living alone in their own ‘house of horrors’. Their owners, according to neighbors, went to the house once a week - rarely twice a week - to dump food. Their last reported visit was five days prior to the removal. During the removal, no food or food bowls were found. Two containers, presumably for water, were nearly dry. Floors and furniture were covered with several inches of feces. One can only imagine the frantic scramble for the dumped food as evidenced by the scars on their tiny faces. This was truly a case of ‘survival of the fittest’ as the smaller dogs were also the thinnest. Some still take food from their individual bowls and run off to find a place to hide and eat. I read the owner, Teri Lea Hamilton, believes her dogs’ removal is based on something ‘personal’ on the part of the Brown County Humane Society (BCHS) members. It isn’t. The Brown County Dog
warden contacted BCHS members after receiving reports from Hamilton’s neighbors. Those members who interviewed neighbors and obtained a search warrant, were unaware that Hamilton owned such a large number of dogs, housed them in such terrible conditions, and had no kennel license that would open her to inspection. If anything makes it ‘personal’ it’s that Hamilton’s website claims she’s a member of the BCHS and, sadly, she has been. That only makes the offense more egregious. It may be ‘personal’ in that the BCHS obviously failed those dogs in the past and we can’t do that again. All the dogs now are doing well after being bathed, treated for flea infestations and allergies, ear mites, ear infections, eye injuries, worms, and hair loss. It’s too late to repair the neglected broken leg of one tiny timid female. because of their small size, sonograms were ordered for those considered to be pregnant. Their nails were extremely long, and one suffered nails growing into his footpads. This rescue was possible only with the help of Paul

WAYNE GATES, EDITOR ing a large role in starting the financial crisis that we are still feeling the effects of today. Kasich is shown in the ad saying “We’re gonna give em all bonuses” in one clip and “It’s gonna be great” in another. The ad is pretty strong stuff...and totally misleading. I was in the TV news business for about 15 years and I know about video editing. One of the first things to do when you see something like this is to watch the edits. Kasich makes one statement, an obvious edit happens and he makes another. The ad goes to a full screen display and then Kasich comes back at the end with “It’s gonna be great”. For all we know someone could have been asking him about his dinner that he’s anticipating that night, let alone bonuses. It is very easy to show something out of context with selective editing. Plus, I don’t think the Governor of Ohio has much influence on deciding who gets a bonus on Wall Street. But if you’re an uninformed voter, you’re a perfect target. The ad is slickly edited and involves an emotional subject. They’re just hoping you don’t see through the smoke and mirrors. That’s just one ad out of many similar ones running all over the country. You can do your part to lessen their effectiveness by informing yourself on the issues and casting an informed ballot instead of letting someone with a video editing machine manipulate you.

Election day is almost here. Time to vote...unless you already have, of course. I would like to encourage everyone to head to the polls and make informed decisions on whom to vote for. Remember, you don’t have to vote for everyone on the ballot. If you don’t know anything about either candidate, you aren’t obligated to cast a vote. As I’ve said in this space before, an uninformed vote is in many ways worse than no vote at all. And believe me, every effort is being made to sway uninformed voters. From mailings to phone calls and especially the ever present campaign commercials, voters are being bombarded with negative ads. “When my opponent isn’t busy stealing candy from babies...”, etc. They get old fast. But they won’t go away because they work. When a politician “goes negative”, the poll numbers of the target usually go down. One reason negative ads work is that too many people take them at face value. It’s one thing for an ad to disagree with a vote or policy position, but when they question a candidates character or morals, that’s when warning bells should go off. I saw one example online this morning. Martha Jacob, our new reporter, brought it to my attention. The Strickland campaign has a new anti-Kasich ad out. In it, Kasich is seen at a press conference talking about “bonuses”. One of the central themes of the Strickland campaign has been to tie Kasich to the failed Wall Street firm of Lehman Brothers. Kasich worked for that company in Columbus for a time after leaving congress. Lehman Brothers eventually collapsed, of course, play-

izens. And I continue to search for other avenues. Please share any ideas you may have so action may be taken to lighten the load for all of us. 3- Recently, in the midst of this economic difficulty. Brown County Commissioners voted to increase Brown County’s sales tax revenue by 50 percent. A referendum to repeal this decision failed by a small number of votes. If you support this tax increase, do you plan to support removing this increase at a later date when the economy and revenues improve? If you do not support this tax increase, do you pledge to work diligently to remove it? My belief is taxation without representation is not what our country was founded on. Tax increase should be voted on by the people for the people. 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? Brown County has many needs. And Brown County's’ wants are genuine. At present the Commissioners are working with Water companies in order to provide safe drinking water to our citizens. We are also working with the Engineer to expand sewer lines and systems for our county citizens as well as for future business. In order to pay for infrastructure so as to provide these much needed services we are continually exploring grants and affordable government loans. 5- Do you support Zoning? Zoning needs to be voted on by the people. And zoning should
begin at the grass roots level. 6- Do Americans have inalienable rights given to us by our Creator, importantly including the fundamental right of selfdefense? God gave us the commandments to live by and Man makes laws to govern. 7- Do you believe that it is better to have fewer County Employees with better pay and better benefits, or more County employees with lower pay and lower benefits? I believe Brown County Citizens deserve the best services we are able to provide for them, with the tax dollars our citizens are able to afford. I also believe each officer holder and or Department-head is responsible for the services they provide. 8-What steps have you taken, or would you take, in office to improve efficiency, improve or maintain customer service, reduce cost of streamline regulatory burdens upon people living and working in Brown County? I have been and continue to be an advocate for better excisable Broad band services so as to make available through-out our county. I also strived to acquire funding sources in order to upgrade emergency Communication systems throughout the county, for the welfare and safety for all our citizens who live and work here. Within the workforce of the County we revisit our vendors for supplies and services frequently to do cost savings analysis.Doing business locally is priorityMargery Paeltz Candidate for Brown County Commissioner
Reader says think carefully about water vote
CMYK
Dear Editor: Have you wondered why certain Aberdeen councilmen are so adamant about building a water plant that the residents don’t want and can’t afford? Consider this: The trailer park landlords and operators in Aberdeen have had a sweet deal for over 50 years. When a lot or trailer is vacant they don’t pay a water bill for that unit. If Aberdeen sells its water system to a regional water supplier, they will then have to pay for all vacant lots or trailers. This is the primary reason that the councilmen insist the village take on a $2-$3 million dollar debt. Councilman Applegate who owns and operates an Aberdeen trailer park and Councilman Phillips who lives in an Aberdeen trailer park recently distributed leaflets door to door in Aberdeen trying to influence voters to vote no on the water initiative. The leaflets were paid for by a committee which lists Annette Mineer as its treasurer. Ms. Mineer operates one of southern Ohio’s largest trailer parks. It should be clear to every voter in Aberdeen that certain councilmen have an agenda of their own. We have nothing against the residents that live in the trailer parks. We live in a trailer park four or five months of the year and we realize you pay for your water just like the rest of us do, through a meter or passed on in the rent. And what about those leaflets they have been distributing? What’s up with the $1.3 or 1.8 million to connect to a water system? The water initiative, if
passed, would direct council to sell the water system. How many times have you paid someone to buy what you were selling? They also claim in their leaflet that if Aberdeen builds a water plant the water will be “lower in cost than any competitor”. However, they have never told us how much that will be. Even the council has said the rates will have to go up from the $18.00 per 2,000 gallons we are now paying. (Are they afraid if we knew how much it was going to cost us, we would vote for the initiative or is it they just haven’t bothered to do the math?) Brown County Rural Water’s (BCRW) rates are $20.00 per 2,000 gallons. I don’t think they will be lower than BCRW’s rates even if the water plant only costs $1.8 million. And don’t forget, the Village already owes $800,000 on the water meters. The leaflets also question why the initiative does not stipulate that the bidder has to be a water supplier, requires the prospective buyer improve our current infrastructure, protects residents from excessive rates, or includes any mechanism that provides for residents to have input or objections heard through their elected council. So we would like to address each of these questions in turn. We have talked to the Ohio EPA and confirmed that anyone bidding on the Village’s water system will have to be approved by them. This will preclude anyone other than an established water supplier being awarded the contract for the water system. What about
the infrastructure improvements and protection from excessive rates. The ordinance was written to direct the Village council to sell the water system, if approved by the voters. It does not include stipulations that should be addressed as a specification in the request for bids and the proposed buyer’s contract with the Village. If the initiative is approved, the Village will enter into a contract with the water supplier that should address the issues of improvements, water rates, and resident’s complaints and feedback. And remember this, the proposed water supplier and contract must be placed on the ballot of the next election for approval by the voters. You, the residents of Aberdeen, will have the final say as to who our water supplier will be and how it will operate. If you have ever been to a council meeting where water issues have been discussed and residents input and complaints heard, you know that it pretty much falls on deaf ears. There is no council accountability to its citizens. If you disagree with their position, they will shout you down and call you derogatory names. We do agree with one thing in their leaflets. “If it sounds too good to be true, it generally is.” The story they are feeding us about building a water plant and its costs, most definitely falls into that category. If you don’t want to build a water plant, vote YES for the Aberdeen Water Initiative on November 2nd. Gene and Pat Riley Aberdeen

Dear Editor, Letter to the editor Tea Party asking candidates to respond to questions 1-What have you done or plan to do while in office to attract jobs-producing businesses to relocate in expand in or remain in Brown County? During the past several years and at the present time I have been very proactive with numerous projects which encompass businesses to relocate, expand, and as well to remain in Brown County. I enjoy working with others who have the foresight, connections and resources to invest in our future in Brown County. I am supportive in these tough times, to continue planning for expansion. We as a county are still planning so when the time arrives we will be prepared to take action. One of the main keys to being successful is providing utilities and other viable tools which are necessary to enable investors to invest. To name a few: Relocate- Expand; Kroger’s, several small businesses –Remain to improve; Healthcare and Jobs and services. 2- It is no secret to any one that Brown County like the nation in general, is experiencing very serious economic difficulties. Many people in Brown County are suffering as a result. What steps have you taken or plan to take in office that have or will reduce the tax burden on the people of Brown County? I have worked to do cost saving reductions,-such as in utilities, and to implement more cost sharing of services. We invested in reducing prescription drug cost with the NACO Card available to all Brown county cit-

My point is that alcohol is available very close by and the tax money is not coming back to our community. Not allowing us to get an alcohol license is not going to stop consumers from buying or using it. They will just go elsewhere. Alcohol, like tobacco products should not be consumed or used by anyone under the designated age. We have been selling tobacco products for the last 15 years and are very proud to have never sold to minors. Twice a year the State of Ohio sends in undercover minors to try and purchase tobacco products and we have never sold to minors. We are proud of that! Alcohol will be the same way. I assure you that McKinney Mart and its employees will never sell to minors. We are hometown people and you have our word

on that. To show our dedication and concern for the issue of underage drinking if it passes we are implementing strict rules for employees and abiding by all state laws. We are proud supporter of the Dare Program, MADD and SADD. A ‘yes’ vote for McKinney mart means more money for our community. I know firsthand that our village is not financially sound and any ‘new’ money is going to be helpful. I am not an expert on alcohol but I am a college educated business woman that understands what it takes to continue to grow with the times. Unfortunately, voting no for Mckinney Mart will not change the ‘goal of teenagers’ as the last writer stated, but will only keep the revenue elsewhere. I am the mother of 3 chil-
dren who I do not want to become a statistic, but as their parent I am teaching them morals and values I trust they will utilize into adulthood. As a parent it is important that we do not rely solely on society to protect our children, it is our job to teach our children right from wrong and hope they are wise enough to make the correct choice. So with all that I am asking you to help. Please vote yes for McKinney Mart on Nov. 2. reminder that the polls are at the Hamersville Elementary School. If you have any questions regarding this issue please do not hesitate to ask. We want this to be a positive issue. Ragan Ernst, Business owner Hamersville

months and died, finally in 1900. William Sidwell was tried for shooting with intent to kill, but the jury disagreed. After Koewler’s death, Sidwell was charged with manslaughter and sentenced to four years and six months in the state penitentiary. You may ask, what does this 110 year old incident have to do with Ripley High School? The land that was rented by Koewler to the Sidwells was the land that Ripley High School currently sits on-- the very land where Anthony Koewler was shot. Various teachers at the school have reported students losing their assignments as if they were taken by a ghost. Perhaps this explains what happens to student’s missing homework? Happy Halloween!

Reader asks for a ‘yes’ vote on Mckinney Mart
CMYK
Letters to the Editor Dear Editor, What’s really behind the vote ‘yes’ you ask? Well I’ll tell you. It’s not about selling to minors or contributing to teenage drinking, it’s about business. We are family owned and operated and have been a staple in the community for 15 years. We are community driven and proud of that. We are the proud sponsors of the Hamersville Jr. Sports Association Sports Complex and all local youth organizations. I agree with last week’s article 100 percent in the fact teenage drinking is a growing problem, but McKinney Mart having a license to sell it will not curb that in anyway shape or form. Alcohol is sold 1 mile east and 5 miles west and the tax dollars from those sales are not benefiting our community.

THE COST OF SIN When John the Baptist was baptizing in the river Jordan, he looked up and saw Jesus coming to him and he said: “Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.” How could anyone take away the sin of the world? It would be wonderful if someone would take away the sins of America. There would be no crime whatsoever. Sin has shaken this world for six thousand years. It has caused broken families, murders, rape, theft, and all manner of evil things. Sin causes poverty and misery. Who could take away the sin of the world? Who is the lamb of God that John proclaimed could do such a feat? Let’s go back to the book of Genesis where sin first took root in our world. Eve was tempted by Satan and both she and Adam ate of the forbidden fruit. As a result of that sin they realized they were naked and made coverings of fig leaves for themselves. When God came into the garden, they were embarrassed in His presence. Ladies and Gentlemen, if we are not careful, we too will someday be embarrassed in the presence of God. Then God said: come, I will make you a new coat; “and the LORD God made them coats of skins and clothed them.” (Genesis 3:21) I wonder if those animals which were slain to make their coats were lambs. Let’s see if we can visualize the scene. God calls out: Adam where are you? Adam replies: I heard you calling and I was afraid because I was naked, so I hid myself. God: How do you know this? Did you eat of the forbidden fruit? Adam: Yes God, but Eve made me do it. God: Well Eve, what do you have to say for yourself? Eve: the devil made me do it. God: Eve that was a sin to disobey me, so now I will need something to cover up that sin. I will use these lambs; they will have to die, of course. We will have to drain their blood; you know that without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sin. Therefore, both of you put your hands upon their heads and I will allow your sin to pass from you onto these lambs. Then after their blood is shed I will take their skin to make your coats. We don’t like to think of death. We are rather insulated from it. Not many people slaughter animals on the farm anymore. Children see people killed on TV
DR. CHARLES SMITH MT. ORAB BIBLE BAPTIST CHURCH www.bbcmtorab.com and then they see that same person again on the next show. They really don’t see death like children did on the farm years ago did. Adam and Eve had never seen death at all before. Can you imagine how they felt? These animals had to die because of their sin. How could that be? The Bible tells us that the wages of sin is death. It was God’s own plan to cover sin. And now John calls out: “Behold the lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.” We have what we call progressive revelation in the Bible. What that means is that God starts out in Genesis revealing a little. He reveals more and more as you go along until at the end He reveals it all. We start out in Genesis with the first shedding of blood and we progress with the various sacrifices for sin until we get to the Lamb of God, the ultimate sacrifice for sin. Who is this Lamb of God? It is Jesus, God’s own Son; it is Jesus, who was born of Mary. He is both man and God. Because there was no kinsmen relationship between animals and man, the animal sacrifices were insufficient to take away the sin of mankind; therefore, Jesus had to become the sacrifice for man’s sin. The law stated that there must be a kinsmen redeemer. Thus: “God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” In the fullness of time God sent his own Son made of a woman, made under the law, to fulfill all the requirements of the law for you and me. Jesus’ sacrifice completely justifies us as though we had never sinned. Jesus said: “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father but by me.” (John 14:6) He is our final sacrificial lamb.

Halloween Safety Tips Follow these suggestions for a safe and spooky holiday! www.halloween-safety.com
TIPS FOR CHILDREN
TIPS FOR ADULTS
• Help your child pick out or make a costume that will be safe. Make it fire proof, the eye holes should be large enough for good peripheral vision.
E V E N
• Know the route your kids will be taking if you aren't going with them. • The best bet is to make sure that an adult is going with them. If you can't take them, see if another parent or a teen aged sibling can go along.
• If you set jack-o-lanterns on your porch with candles in them, make sure that they are far enough out of the way so that kids costumes won't accidentally be set on fire.
• Know what other activities a child may be attending, such as parties, school or mall functions.
• Make sure that if your child is carrying a prop, such as a scythe, butcher knife or a pitchfork, that the tips are smooth and flexible enough to not cause injury if fallen on.
• Make sure you set a time that they should be home by. Make sure they know how important it is for them to be home on time.
• Check all of the candy your children bring home with them.
• Explain to children the difference between tricks and vandalism. Throwing eggs at a house may seem like fun but they need to know the other side of the coin as well, clean up and damages can ruin Halloween. If they are caught vandalizing,make them clean up the mess they've made.
• Kids always want to help with the pumpkin carving. Small children shouldn't be allowed to use a sharp knife to cut the top or the face. There are many kits available that come with tiny saws that work better then knives and are safer. It's best to let the kids clean out the pumpkin and draw a face on it, which you can carve for them. • Teaching your kids basic everyday safety such as not getting into cars or talking to strangers, watching both ways before crossing streets and crossing when the lights tell you to, will help make them safer when they are out Trick or Treating.
Leadership you can count on!

This was our last meeting with the gardening Veterans at the Ohio Veterans Home in Georgetown. Art Puckett met me as I signed in and was anxious to head to the gardens. The morning was bit chilly, but when you were in the sun it was quite toasty. One by one the gardeners came down to visit with us. Paul Mitchell is still enjoying jalapeno peppers from his plants. Bonnie Chasteen’s flowers are about bloomed out for the summer, and the expected frost this week-end will probably finish the job. John Chambers is still sharing his turnips with friends and we took pictures of his giant turnip in one of his raised beds. Dutch Pittman’s garden is cleaned up and ready for the winter. Art Puckett has been working at getting his garden cleared. We finished pulling up tomato cages and putting stakes away for the season. The ground is still hard, but we dug around and pulled

weeds. We hope to amend the beds this fall or in the early spring. As it always is with gardeners, the conversation turned to what was going in the ground next spring. Cabbage, tomatoes, peppers, beans, and onions were just a few of the anticipated crops for next season. We have truly enjoyed becoming gardening friends with the Veterans and look forward to seeing them in April! Spring will be here before we know it! Our last featured gardener is Earl Feldhaus. Earl served in the Marine Corps in WWII as a Navigator Bombardier. He started gardening as a young boy and taught himself by reading everything he could about gardening. His favorite vegetable to plant is carrots because they are also his favorite vegetable to eat! gardening tips Earl’s include: Keep ahead of the weeds, and add organic material to your garden. When asked about what benefits he gains from gardening, Earl replied, “I enjoy getting outside!”

Broncos beat Bulldogs, 55-30 Woodyard throws for 543 yards, 7 touchdowns By Ritchie Butler The Brown County Press On a record-setting night in Batavia, the Western Broncos defeated the Bulldogs by a score of 55-30. The record-setting performance came from the right arm of Nick Woodyard. The Broncos’ junior quarterback threw for seven touchdowns and accumulated 543 yards through the air in the win. “Nick has stepped in and done a great job,” said Western coach Evan Dreyer. “Batavia schemed well and played well, trying to keep our offense off the field. Nick did a good job of picking the right receiver and it worked out well.” Things didn’t start out well for Woodyard and the Broncos. After Woodyard was intercepted on the first possession, the two teams traded punts opening
the game, Woodyard also threw an interception on the Broncos’ third possession. Batavia’s Gabe Archer took his pick 30 yards for a touchdown. The PAT was good, giving the Bulldogs a 7-0 lead with 5:35 left in the first frame. Western responded as the offense got on track. On the second play from scrimmage, Woodyard found Brad Rhodes on a 38-yard pass play, pushing the Broncos into Batavia territory. Four plays later, Woodyard hooked up with Devin Wood on a 25-yard touchdown strike. Woodyard scored on the try for two, putting the Broncos in front, 8-7, with 3:58 left in the first period. After the Bronco defense forced a punt by the Bulldogs, Woodyard mishandled the kick and Batavia recovered at Western’s 24 yard line. Four plays later, Ryan
Gormley plunged three yards for a touchdown. Luke Bradburn added the extra point and with 28 seconds left in the first, Batavia held a 14-8 advantage. Western wasted no time answering. On the second play from scrimmage, Woodyard hit Jake Banfil with a 5-yard scoring pass. Rhodes made the PAT, giving the Broncos a 15-14 edge with four ticks left on the first-quarter clock. Batavia’s next possession ended when Wood picked off Tyler Luginbuhl’s pass at Western’s 11 yard line. Eleven plays later, Wood was on the receiving end of another offering, this one a 33-yard pass from touchdown Woodyard. Rhodes’ kick was blocked, but the Broncos claimed a 21-14 lead with 6:50 remaining in the half. Spencer Howard had two

tackles for loss and Justin Dillinger added another, forcing the Bulldogs to punt on their next drive. After an incomplete pass on the punt fake, Western took over on downs at its own 35. Woodyard found Dillinger and Rhodes for big gains through the air on the Broncos’ next scoring drive, moving the ball to Batavia’s 15 yard line. On first-and-goal, Wood shifted into the shotgun and lofted a pass to Rhodes in the corner of the end zone. Rhodes’ kick was blocked again, but the Broncos now held a 27-14 lead with 2:09 remaining in the second stanza. Bulldogs quickly The answered on their next touch. Batavia went 52 yards on six plays, scoring on a Luginbuhl to Dwayne Smith 20-yard pass. Jordan Richardson added the PAT, cutting Western’s lead to 27-21 with 49 seconds left in the half. The Broncos threatened before the break, moving the ball 46 yards before time expired. At the break, Western held a six-point lead. Western scored twice to begin the second half, without allowing the Bulldogs to touch the ball. After Jordan Haggerty made a nice return of the second-half kickoff, the Broncos moved 56 yards on five passing plays. The score came on a three-yard toss from Woodyard to Rhodes. The PAT by Rhodes was good, giving Western a 34-21 lead with 10:22 left in the third. Western recovered the ensuing on-side kick, starting its next possession at Batavia’s 47. The Broncos picked up a first down, but were moved back by a personal foul penalty. It made no difference as Woodyard found Banfil down the sideline with a 48-yard touchdown strike. Rhodes made the PAT, giving the Broncos a 41-21 lead with 8:42 remaining in the third. The Bulldogs went threeand-out and the Broncos turned the ball over on downs. Batavia took over at its own 41 yard line and marched 59 yards in nine plays. The scoring drive culminated with a one-

yard run by David Brausch. Richardson’s PAT was good, cutting Western’s lead to 41-28 with 53 seconds left in the third quarter. The Broncos took almost two minutes on their next drive to score. Woodyard combined his legs and his arm to move the ball 75 yards in nine plays. The score came on a five-yard throw to Banfil. Rhodes nailed the PAT, giving the Broncos a 4828 lead with 11:29 left in the game. Batavia’s next possession ended with a Brausch fumble recovered by Brady Brooks at Western’s 11 yard line. After a holding penalty and an incomplete pass, Woodyard was sacked in the end zone, giving the Bulldogs a safety and making the score 48-30 with 9:16 showing on the game clock. After the free kick by Rhodes, Haggerty intercepted a Luginbuhl pass and returned it 45 yards. Haggerty came full circle, catching a 12-yard touchdown
pass from Woodyard five plays later. Rhodes added the extra point, giving the Broncos a 5530 lead. Batavia’s next drive ended with a turnover on downs. Western was content to let the clock run out, securing the 5530 win. “Justin and Jordan stepped in and played extremely well,” said Dreyer. “Wood did a nice job and made a good throw to Rhodes for a score. We’ve faced a lot of adversity with the injuries. It would be something to get another win in week 10. We’re playing for something, so I am excited for the kids.” In addition to the 543 yards through the air, Woodyard was the leading ground gainer with 49 yards. Banfil had 183 yards receiving and Rhodes added 166. The Bronco defense allowed 118 yards passing and 100 yards rushing on the night. The win lifted Western to 6-3 overall.

Eastern Lady Warriors win in district semifinal, 1-0
CMYK
Taking the hour-and-a-half road trip up State Route 32, the Eastern Lady Warriors soccer team took on the Circleville Lady Tigers in the OHSAA Division II District semifinals on Wednesday. The
game was held on the turf of Holzer Field at Jackson High School in Jackson, Ohio. Playing on artificial turf for the first time, the Lady Warriors knew they were about to play in a big game. Winning here would send the Lady Warriors to the district final, where they would play

for a chance to advance to regional play. The Circleville Lady Tigers started the game with the opening kick, taking immediate possession, and shooting the first shot of the game. The shot was stopped by Eastern senior goal keeper Kaylee Purdy. Firing right back, the Lady Warriors booted their first attempt, nearly missing the goal. Both teams looked on top of their game right from the start, but in the remaining minutes of the first half, the Lady Warriors looked to have a slight advantage over the Lady Tigers. Taking every opportunity, Eastern fired shot after shot at the goal, but just couldn’t seem to find the net. At the end of the first half Eastern had out shot Circleville, but with both teams playing good defense, the game remained scoreless. The second half started with both teams battling for possession. Eastern senior forward Amber Yockey came up with the ball and narrowly missed the first shot of the half. Circleville fought back with momentum, doubling the amount of shots taken in the first half, but the Lady Tigers just couldn’t beat the quick hands of Eastern’s Purdy, who finished the game with nine total saves. With the clock showing under five minutes to play in regulation, and both teams still scoreless, the game was inching ever so closely to overtime.

Another minute ticked off the clock, Eastern gained control of the ball, booted it down field, and with 3:56 left on the clock, Yockey fought through three Circleville defenders and fired an amazing shot. The shot zipped past Lady Tigers’ senior goal keeper Kourtney Kalinoski for a Lady Warriors score. The crowd erupted with cheers, and with that, all the Lady Warriors had to do was play a tough defense and hold Circleville out of the goal. That’s exactly what the Lady Warriors did, holding the Circleville Lady Tigers scoreless and getting the win in the final minutes of the game.
With the score of 1-0, the Eastern Lady Warriors advance to the district final game against Chillicothe Unioto who defeated the SHL Lynchburg-Clay Lady Mustangs just prior to the Lady Warriors took the field against Circleville. After the game, Circleville Head Coach Jason Herbert stated, “When you come this far it’s always a tough game and Eastern played hard the whole game.” Eastern Lady Warriors Head Coach Sarah Koehler said, “We played awesome, and we beating made history, Circleville for the first time in
the district tournament.” The Lady Warriors were set to fight for their shot at the regional tournament on Saturday at Jackson High School.

and with the ball staying on their side of the field, it wasn’t long before the Lady Warriors got on the board. Scoring the first goal of the game for Eastern, junior forward Allison Prine booted the ball in on an unassisted shot at the 27:46 mark. With the Lady Warriors already up by one, the Lady Green Devils were looking to find a hole in the Eastern defense. Fighting hard to take possession of the ball, they just couldn’t get through the Lady Warriors’ host of defenders, forcing the ball out of bounds. The call came for a corner kick, and with just over 20 minutes left to play in the first half, Eastern senior forward Amber Yockey launched a great kick over the goalie’s head and into the back of the net. This brought the Lady Warriors’ lead to two. Trouble was brewing for the Lady Green Devils, needing something to get them back in the game. Their only opportunity of the half came on a handball call against Eastern. North Adams sophomore midfielder Ashley Taylor kicked the ball into play, and it was immediately brought back by a strong Lady Warrior defense, led by senior Hannah Granger. The Lady Warriors’ offense put up two more scores before the end of the half. The first punched in at the 12:12 mark by Prine, and the second came off an assist from Yockey to junior midfielder Megan Bollman with just over six minutes to go. With just 40 minutes left in the game, the Lady Warriors needed to play strong on defense if they wanted to hold onto the lead and advance to the district tournament. That is exactly what the Eastern Lady Warriors did, holding North Adams to only one shot at the goal the entire game. That attempt came on a corner kick

by North Adams junior forward Robyn Simpson. The ball made it to the goal box but was pushed out by the Eastern defense. The rest of the game belonged to the Lady Warriors, who sealed the game with two final goals. The first came at the 34:14 mark, with a great assist by Prine to Yockey, who scored from inside the goal box. Their sixth and final goal of the game came off a breakaway shot by senior midfielder Megan Scott at the 20:32 mark. With the final score of 6-0, the
Lady Warriors advanced to the district tournament, where they await Circleville. After the game, North Adams Head Coach Dave Davingnon spoke about his overall season, stating, “This team has really turned around, we got our first tournament win this year, and I’m proud of them”. Eastern Lady Warriors Head Coach Sarah Koehler finished off the night by saying, “The girls played up to their potential, and we’re excited about the district tournament”.
Eastern bows out of sectional Lady G-Men fall in five games finals with loss to Huntington By Ritchie Butler The Brown County Press
By Ritchie Butler The Brown County Press The Eastern Lady Warriors fell to the Huntington Lady Huntsmen in the sectional volleyball finals last Saturday by a score of 3-0. “It was tight early in that first game,” said Eastern coach Carmela Reeves. “We came back and played well in that third game, and that’s how we played against Piketon.” In game one, the Lady Warriors and Lady Huntsmen traded points early, playing to seven ties in the first 16 points. But with the game tied at 8-8, Huntington’s Taylor Shewalter went on a tear from behind the service line. She dropped 10 consecutive points as the Lady Huntsmen got their hitters going. Eastern posed a late rally behind the strong service of Christina McKenzie, but it was too late. Huntington got the game one victory by a count of 25-14. Game two was all Lady Huntsmen. Hitters Jackie Kellough, Megan Fultz and Paige Danner had multiple kills. Each rotation for Huntington seemed strong as the Lady Huntsmen raced to a 17-6 lead. Play evened out from there, but Huntington took game two by a score of 25-10. The third game was Eastern’s best. Andrea Tracy and Heather Bayer found their rhythm at the net and the Lady Warriors’ service game was better than the first two games. Lauren Ballou fired three aces in the third game as Eastern was tied with Huntington, 21-

21. Twice late in the game the Lady Warriors took one-point leads and went up by two at 23-21. But Carlie Long came off the bench for Huntington and served the final three points of the match. The left-hander’s streak included an ace, giving the Lady Huntsmen a 25-23 win in the game and a 3-0 match victory. The loss ended the Lady
Warriors’ season. Eastern finished with a record of 6-17 overall. The Lady Warriors bid farewell to three seniors in Ballou, McKenzie and Andrea Neu. “They were a motivating part of our team,” said Reeves. “They were good leaders and had good skills on the court. It’s been a pleasure to coach this team. They were a wonderful group of girls.”
The Georgetown Lady GMen fell in the sectional semifinals to the Blanchester Lady Wildcats by a match score of 3-2 last Thursday. “It was a good game by both teams,” said Georgetown coach Donna DeVries. “We wish them all the luck.” The Southern Buckeye Conference rivals were meeting for the third time this season, so each team knew what to expect. The first game was an indicator of things to come. Game one saw nine ties and five lead changes, in a seesaw battle. The Lady G-Men finally got some breathing room when Jesse Kidwell served two-straight points after a 2121 tie. The Lady G-Men outscored their hosts 2-1 over the final three points, claiming a 25-22 win. Game two was also a fight to the finish. With the game tied at 12-12, Blanchester outscored Georgetown 9-4, taking a 21-16 lead. The Lady G-Men fought back behind the net play of Kirsten Grant and Kidwell, closing the margin to one point, at 24-23. The Lady Wildcats earned a sideout at the end, capturing a 25-23 win and evening the match score at 1-1. “Losing that second game did us in,” said DeVries. “We knew going five games with them would make it tough. We couldn’t overcome their tip game.”

Lady Wildcats owned the net in the final points of the game, outscoring the Lady G-Men 60 to capture the game four win, 25-19. Blanchester’s win also tied the match score at 22. The Lady Wildcats stayed hot in game five, racing to a 52 edge. Again the Lady GMen came back, this time behind the strong serving of Cecilia Schwartz. She scored three-straight, including an ace, putting Georgetown on top, 8-6. Blanchester answered with four consecutive points, taking a 10-8 advantage. Kidwell’s ace pulled Georgetown to within one, at 12-11, but that was as close as the Lady G-Men got the rest of the way, falling to Blanchester by a score of 1512 in the decisive game five. “I am proud of the way the girls played,” added DeVries. “Jesse stepped up and did a good job tonight.” The loss leaves the Lady GMen with an overall record of 11-10 on the season. Georgetown loses two seniors to graduation in Grant and Alexis Wahl. “How do you replace someone like Kirsten Grant?” asked DeVries. “Alexis has done a great job defensively. Both will be missed.”

Western girls finish 8-2 in SBC, Wright named POY The Western Brown High School women’s tennis team recently finished an outstanding season. They finished with an overall record of 8-2 in the SBC, with both of their conference losses coming at the hands of league newcomer Amelia. Overall, they only had two more losses against East Clinton and Glen Este. Junior Morgan Wright, who had earlier in the season won the SBC league individual tournament, went on to be named Player of the Year in the SBC and became the first female to advance to the third round of the Division I sectional by defeating top players from Hamilton and Little Miami, respectively, in the first two rounds. “I feel like I worked really hard in the off-season to get where I am today. I played in several USTA events this summer. I am happy with what I accomplished this year and hope to get further in the tournament next year,” said Wright. Senior Sarah Weisenhahn was the team’s second singles player. She finished at 9-1 in conference and 12-2 overall. Weisenhahn also went on to receive first-team SBC honors. Third singles senior Taylor

Western’s Morgan Wright was named Player of the Year in the Southern Buckeye Conference.
Helton finished at 9-1 in conference and 13-3 overall and received second-team SBC honors. The first doubles team of senior Kandise King and junior Alli Kelsey split their season, winning about half of their matches overall. “There was no set second doubles team, but because of that we got some younger players to get more experience
in varsity playing time, so it wasn’t a bad thing,” said Western head coach Max Vavilov. This year was Vavilov’s first year coaching tennis at Western Brown. Next year the team will be losing their second singles, third singles and first doubles players, so the team will need new younger players to step up and fill those positions.

Lady Jays fall to Lady Braves in second round of soccer sectional By Ritchie Butler The Brown County Press
"We had some nice offensive drives against them, but we weren't able to capitalize," added Hauck. In the second half, Indian Hill substituted freely and kept the pressure on the Lady Jays. Ripley again played well defensively, holding the Lady Braves to three goals in 40 minutes. In the end, Indian Hill was too strong and defeated the Lady Jays by a score of 8-0. "Indian Hill is a very good team," said Hauck. "They kept rotating in skilled players, keeping fresh legs." The Lady Jays advanced to the second round by defeating Reading earlier in the week. "We came out and played well against Reading," said Hauck. “This is what we worked for, the post season.” The loss to Indian Hill gave Ripley
a season record of 7-8-2. The Lady Jays finished the Southern Hills League with a record of 4-3. “We had 20 kids this year and were able to move some players around,” said Hauck. “We improved our passing game over the season and we are still building our program.” One noticeable difference this year was the LAdy Blue Jays’ increase in offense. Hauck attributes the addition of Marty Adams as a contributing factor. “Marty was a great addition as an assistant,” said Hauck. “He was more offensive-minded, where I am more defensive-minded. Mentally we improved and we are carrying ourselves with pride.” The Lady Jays say farewell to seven seniors in Jamie McCray, Lauren Bachman, Eliese Kendrick, Kelsey Carpenter, Sadie Grisham, Kelsey Eitel and Katlyn Germann. “Kelsey Carpenter had several
goals and a lot of assists,” said Hauck. “Sadie was our leading scorer. Kelsey Eitel played everywhere. Lauren created a lot of opportunities. Eliese did a good job of sparking us off the bench. It was the first year playing for me for Jamie and Katlyn. Their presence was important. They were positive leaders.” The departure of the seven seniors doesn’t mean that the cupboard will be bare next year. “Niya Royal and Jessica Garrison did a nice job of controlling the midfield,” said Hauck. “Mindy Armour came back after injury last year and had a quality season. Jaden Royal and Kelci Bowling stepped in as freshmen and did a good job. Morgan Wright and Caroline Bachman have a lot of talent. We should have a strong defense next year.” When asked to sum up the season, coach Hauck said, “The thrill of the season was like a roller-coaster ride.”

The Ripley Lady Blue Jays' soccer season came to an end in the second round of the sectional tournament when they fell to the Indian Hill Lady Braves by a score of 8-0. "It's frustrating for the girls to have to play in a sectional in Cincinnati," said Ripley coach Amanda Hauck. "Indian Hill was seeded second and won the district last year, so we knew it would be tough. I couldn't be any more proud. They never gave up, even though it was an uphill battle." Ripley held the high-powered
Indian Hill offense scoreless for the first six minutes of the game. But the Lady Braves struck with 33:43 left in the first half and never looked back. Indian Hill added another goal with just over 27 minutes left in the half, taking a 2-0 advantage. Despite several attempts by the Lady Braves, Ripley held strong for the next 15 minutes, stopping shots and forcing shots to go errant. "They had 45 shots against us in the game," said Hauck. "We had 25 saves and forced some bad shots. Four of their first five goals were deflected off us, making it tough on Caroline (Bachman) in the goal. I have to give her props. The score could have been a lot worse." Indian Hill converted three goals in the final 13 minutes of the half, taking a commanding 5-0 edge at the break.

Brown County Fire and EMS chiefs meeting The Brown County Fire and EMS chiefs meeting was held on Tuesday, Sept. 21 at the EMA office. All the departments were represented with the exception of one. The meeting proceeded with old business: • President Rob Starrett spoke to Todd Cluxton regarding road closures and the emergency departments not being notified. It was agreed that 911 would be contacted even if the closure is only for a day. The Accountability • System was discussed. RIT protocols will be sent to everybody by email to be examined, and will be trying to get the needed tarps free of charge. New business: • Beth Neville was welcomed and is filling in as EMA Director as part time until the part time position is filled. She offered her assistance if we needed her and she is in the office 2 days a week. She will be sending emails regarding training. • An update was given on the County Radio system, the frequencies are being reviewed by Kentucky and Indiana. The tower in Hamersville is close to be completed, while work on the tower at the hospital is ongoing, with Dennis Lewis working on that. • Ripley Life Squad is taking applications for their EMT class starting Oct. 11, while Joe Gilligan is their training coordinator. • Sardinia Life Squad concerned with the cost of the
radios that will be needed by 2013. All departments agreed this is a major concern and will hinder their budgets. Some dept's are now slowly replacing their old radios with compatible ones. • Aberdeen Fire Dept. will be having an Open House on Saturday, Oct. 16, beginning at 5 p.m., all are invited to attend. • Chiefs Starrett and Rockey went to the last Fair Board Meeting. They asked the Fair Board if the Fire & EMS members that were working the fair could receive a free sandwich and drink, they were told no. All the dept's agreed that it is expensive to buy passes for their members to work the fair and mutually agreed they feel under-appreciated. The dept's are already committed for 2010, but the topic will be revisited at the next meeting to decide if we will participate in 2011. • Chief Starrett asked the EMA Director if it would be easier for the departments to get grant funding if they joined under one large organization and applied, as opposed to each individual dept applying on their own. Discussion ensued and was agreed it would be a huge benefit. Grant money could be applied for items such as: radios, accountability system, etc. Would also help with receiving better prices on items bought in bulk. • The next meeting will be held on Nov. 16 at the Georgetown Fire Dept.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness month, and in recognition Chatfield College students are participating in the YWCA Clothes Line Project, a project to address violence against women where community members are encouraged to share their stories and support by decorating t-shirts to be hung in visible locations. Chatfield alumna Cassandra Stroop, now the Sexual Assault and Intervention Coordinator for the YWCA, organized the event in order to bring the striking message back to her alma mater. Stroop, who went on to receive her bachelor’s degree in education and social work at the Union Institute University, assists in crisis intervention, support groups and hospital visits to women who experienced or are experiencing sexual abuse. “I want to encourage students to speak out against violence and abuse against women. We allow students to lash out through creativity and show support for preventing domestic violence,” says Stroop. Participants write their stories and accompany them with a visual representation on tshirts. The Clothes Line Project serves several purposes. It acts as an educational tool for both participants and

It usually is in October that the first killing frost happens here in Southern Ohio. We had a light frost on Friday morning in some areas. I am not sure how cold it was in the entire area. With the drought that we have had this fall, many livestock producers may have planted some alternative forage crops that include some type of sorghum. There are risks with the first few frosts. This article comes from Arkansas Extension, and does a good job of discussing some of the issues that producers need to be aware of. Crops such as johnsongrass, sudangrass, sorghum-sudangrass, grain sorghum and sorgo-types sorghums are very sensitive to temperatures below 32 degrees. Plant cells of these crops are damaged by frost and hydrocyanic acid (HCN) or prussic acid is formed. There is a chance that cattle may be killed by eating only a few pounds of forage from plants belonging to the sorghum genus if the plants have been killed by frost. The same crops are considered safe prior to frost if they are properly fed. HCN is more abundant in sorghum leaves than in stems. Since young shoots and suckers consist mainly of leaves, they are more hazardous to feed than mature plants that contain large stems. Stems dilute the harmful effects of this potentially lethal compound found in sorghum leaves. HCN released by frost is volatile and vaporizes quickly from frosted sorghum plants. Therefore, it is considered safe for grazing after having thawed from a killing frost for 7-10 days. During October, a light frost may occur that "burns back" only the uppermost leaves of sorghum plants. The lower leaves may remain green until a harder frost occurs several days later. Sometimes suckers will develop at the base of these plants. If cattle are removed from such a field immediately after frost and then returned five days later, they may selectively graze the young shoots only. When this occurs, there is a danger that cattle will consume high levels of the HCN from this leafy tissue and be killed. Historically, only a few cattle have been killed in October as a result of eating sorghum that has been killed by frost. However, the producer should be aware of this hazard. By using some of the following precautions one may reduce the likelihood of poisoning cattle that consume sorghum forage and johnsongrass: • Each time a non-killing frost occurs on living sorghum crops, remove the cattle from these fields for 14 days. • Do not allow animals to graze fields with succulent, young, short growth. Graze only after plants reach a height of 18-24 inches. • Do not harvest or feed drought-damaged plants in any form within four days following a good rain regardless of height. It is during this period of rapid growth that an accumulation of HCN in the young tissue and of nitrates in the stems is most likely to occur. • Do not graze wilted plants (drought stressed) or plants with young regrowth. Do not rely on drought-damaged material as the only source of feed. Keep dry forage from other crops available at all times. Even when this material is mildly toxic, it can be fed safely to animals receiving some other forage or grain source. • Do not utilize frost-damaged sorghum as pasture during the first seven days after the first killing frost. Delay pasturing until at least seven days or until the frosted material is completely dried out and paper brown colored. Do not rely on frosted material as the only source of feed. The toxin is usually dissipated within 48 hours. Do not graze at night when frost is likely. • Do not turn hungry cattle onto a pasture of sorghum or sorghum-sudan hybrid. Fill them up on hay first and begin grazing in the late afternoon. • Prevent selective grazing of the young regrowth, which
