Carpenter family sues Tincher The family of John Carpenter is suing the man found guilty of hiring someone to kill him. Carpenter’s mother, Ureina Carpenter, filed a wrongful death suit against Dallas and Ruth Tincher on April 20. Dallas Tincher was found guilty in January of hiring Joseph Hensley to kill John Carpenter in April of 2010. Tincher was sentenced to 28 years to life in prison last month. Attorney Mark Landes represents Ureina Carpenter. "Now that justice has been done for John Carpenter, we need to make sure that the family he has left behind is cared

for”, Landes said. Urenia Carpenter is asking for $25,000, plus punitive damages and court costs. Carpenter is also suing for “fraudulent conveyance”, accusing Dallas and Ruth Tincher of “fraudulently transferr(ing) properties and assets...with the actual intent to hinder, delay and/or defraud” Urinea Carpenter. Tincher was indicted on Complicity to Aggravated Murder charges on May 10, 2010. On May 26 of that year, the suit claims that nearly two hundred thousand dollars belonging to the Tincher’s was withdrawn from two bank accounts. Attached to the suit are copies

of land transfers dated May 27, 2010, that show two parcels of property totalling approximately 20 acres were transferred from the Dallas Lynn Tincher and Ruth Tincher Revocable Living Trust to Ruth Tincher for one dollar each. Count One of the suit is for wrongful death. It reads that “The negligent, reckless, willful/wanton and intentional acts of Dallas Tincher directly and proximately caused the wrongful death of...Johnathan Carpenter.” The suit says that John Carpenters beneficiaries and next of kin are entitled to compensatory damages including loss of financial support from Carpenter.

The suit also says that damages should be paid because of the “loss of companionship, consortium, care, assistance, attention, protection, advice, guidance, counsel, instruction, training and education” as a result of John Carpenter’s murder. The suit is also claiming damages for “loss of prospective inheritance to Johnathan Carpenter’s heirs” as well as “Mental anguish and pain and suffering experienced by the beneficiaries and next of kin”. Count one closes by asking for compensation for funeral and burial expenses. Count two references the cash withdrawals and land CONTINUED ON PAGE 15

Inmate found dead in Brown County Jail BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press A Brown County Jail inmate was found dead in his cell on Monday night, April 18. A press release from the Brown County Sheriff’s Office is calling the death of John Funk an “apparent suicide by hanging”. Funk’s address is listed on Bodman Road in Mt. Orab. He was arrested on April 11 on a first degree misdemeanor Domestic Violence charge and had been an inmate at the jail since his arrest. Brown County Chief Detective Carl Smith said that Funk was discovered in his cell around 8 p.m. by inmates returning to their cells from the day room. Smith said that Funk had a cellmate, but that the cellmate had gone to the day room and Funk had chosen to remain behind in his cell. That’s when the apparent suicide occurred.

G’town schools cut 2012 budget, 6 lose jobs BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press The Georgetown Exempted School District is making over half a million dollars in cuts to the district budget for 20122013. The budget reductions were approved by the Georgetown School Board on April 20. Four teaching positions have been eliminated, and six classified employees will be let go in a reduction in force.

Sun Group NEWSPAPERS

The effects of the cuts will be felt by nearly every family in the school system. One major change for the next school year will be the introduction of a two-tiered bus system. Currently, all students are bused to school at the same time. With the new system, junior/senior high school students will be bused to school first and then the same buses will return to neighborhoods to pick up elementary school stu-

dents. Georgetown Treasurer Eric Toole said this will require the start time for the junior/senior high school to be at least 45 minutes earlier than the elementary school to make the system work. Toole said specific new start times for the schools have not been determined. Athletic pay to participate fees will also rise next year to seventy dollars per high school sport and sixty dollars per jun-

ior high sport per person. There will be a two hundred dollar maximum athletic fee per family. “This is a difficult process to go through”, Toole said. “It’s hard to have to tell people that they are going to lose their jobs, but we have to live within our means.” Toole stressed that the jobs chosen for elimination were not a reflection of the people that held them.

A’deen woman died from drug overdose BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press An Aberdeen woman found dead by her husband last March died of a Heroin overdose. That information was released on Tuesday, April 19, by Detective Buddy Moore of the Brown County Sheriff's Department. Christine Crane was found dead at her residence on March 17 by her husband, Robert Crane. Moore said that the toxicology report showed Heroin Toxicity, or a fatal amount of hero in in Christine Crane's blood. Moore added that the investigation into her death would continue because investigators

had still not ruled on a manner of death for Crane. He added that there was at least one person of interest that investigators were looking into. Brown County Chief Deputy John Schadle said in March that there were no "obvious signs of trauma" on Cristine Crane's body that would lead investigat ors to immediately conclude that foul play had been involved in her death. According to public records, Robert Crane called 911 around seven a.m. on Thursday, March 17 to report his wife, was unresponsive. Christine Crane was taken to Meadowview Regional Medical Center in Maysville, Ky where she was pronounced dead.

Unemployment rate County health insurance disrupted drops for entire region BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press

The 188 employees of Brown County have been having trouble lately with their health insurance. The Brown County Commissioners called representatives and elected officials in for a meeting on the situation April 19. About 30 people showed up to hear a briefing on the situation and what the commissioners were doing to correct the problem. The issues began in late March, when a company called Employer Benefit Systems of Ohio filed for Chapter 7 bank-

ruptcy. EBS was what is known as a “third party administrator” for the county in dealing with Medical Mutual of Ohio, the actual insurance company for county employees. For the last month or so, some employees seeking medical treatment or prescriptions were told they were not covered. This required them to pay two or three times the normal amount for medicine at the pharmacy, and to be told by medical providers that they were responsible for any bills incurred during that time. The experiences of individual employees depended on the

billing policy of the provider. County Commission President Ralph Jennings said that the problems stemmed from a “bottleneck with the paperwork” through EBS. “At no time were any employees without health insurance coverage”, Jennings said. Jennings said the cards issued by EBS were no longer valid, leading medical service providers to believe coverage was not available. The county has addressed the problem by contracting with Meritain Health to be the new Third Party Administrator. Meritain is headquartered in CONTINUED ON PAGE 15

BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press The unemployment rate for Brown County fell sharply in March to 11.8 percent. The 1.7 percent decline is down from 13.5 percent in February. According to figures released by the state of Ohio, 400 more Brown County residents found work in the month of March. The Ohio Department of Job and Family Services said number of unemployed people seeking work in the county dropped from 2900 in February to 2500 in March.

The 1.7 percent decline was the biggest drop in this part of the state, with all counties bordering Brown County also seeing declines in the jobless rate. Adams County saw a drop of 1.6 percent to come in at 13.4 percent. With the decline, Adams County dropped from the fifth highest rate in the state in February to seventh. Clinton County replaces Adams for fifth place in the state on the list of highest jobless rates at 13.7 percent, down 1.2 percent from February.

The Brown County Prescription Drug Task Force and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) will give the public another opportunity to prevent pill abuse and theft by ridding their homes of potentially dangerous expired, unused, and unwanted prescription drugs on April 30, 2011 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Bring your medications for disposal to Kroger in Mt. Orab or Pamida in Georgetown. The drug take back stations will be set up in the parking lots of Kroger and Pamida. This service is free and anonymous, no questions asked. Last September, Americans turned in 242,000 pounds— 121 tons—of prescription drugs at nearly 4,100 sites operated by the DEA and more than 3,000 state and local law enforcement part-

ners. This initiative addresses a vital public safety and public health issue. Medicines that languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse, and abuse. Rates of prescription drug abuse in the U.S. are alarmingly high, as are the number of accidental poisonings and overdoses due to these drugs. Studies show that a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including from the home medicine cabinet. In addition, Americans are now advised that their usual methods for disposing of unused medicines—flushing them down the toilet or throwing them in the trash—both pose potential safety and health hazards. Four days after last fall’s event, Congress passed the

Secure and Responsible Drug Disposal Act of 2010, which amends the Controlled Substances Act to allow an “ultimate user” of controlled substance medications to dispose of them by delivering them to entities authorized by the Attorney General to accept them. The Act also allows the Attorney General to authorize long term care facilities to dispose of their residents’ controlled substances in certain instances. DEA has begun drafting regulations to implement the Act.

Today Gov. John R. Kasich signed House Bill 36 (Kozlowski), legislation that provides immediate relief to school districts by increasing the number of calamity days from three to five. Additionally, HB 36 provides schools the flexibility to make up snow days by lengthening remaining school days in the 2010-2011 school year by 30minute increments. Joining Kasich for the bill-signing ceremony were bill co-sponsors Rep. Casey Kozlowski and Rep. John Carey, and Senator Tim Grendell. “It makes all the sense in

the world. I have been for this all along. I appreciate the work of young Casey here, John Carey and Tim Grendell in terms of moving this through. This was on the leadership agenda from the beginning and we got it done…We’ll go back to five calamity days, we’ll give the schools districts more options, and of course student safety is a priority…but in addition to that, the great bottom line is more sled riding,” said Kasich during today’s ceremony. HB 36 received overwhelming bipartisan support in both the House and Senate.

The motion, however, was not unanimous. Board members Joe Vaughn, Pfeffer and Richard Applegate voted yes on the motion while board members Robert Carpenter and Glenda Huff voted no. In other business, Susan Owens, principal of the elementary school reported to the board that her school students were busy preparing for the 2010-2011 Ohio Achievement Assessment testing, concentrating on accelerated reader and math programs which implement built in incentives and rewards for accomplishing learning goal. These incentives include bowling parties, weekly prizes, pizza parties, etc. She briefly discussed higher achieving students and lower achieving students, the use of web sites to help monitor tests and tutoring programs. Mike Kennedy, middle school principal also discussed the upcoming the Ohio Achievement Assessment testing. “All our teachers give practice OAA tests the first few weeks of school,” Kennedy told the board. “This allows them to analysis and pinpoint standards and indicators that students have mastered and the ones they seem to be struggling with.” Kennedy discussed the fact that the vocabulary used in the tests is often different and confusing to students and recommended using the different vocabulary to make the students more familiar with them. He also told the board that he is please with the progress the school has made. “Since the first full year as a middle school, (2006-2007) we have moved from Academic Watch to Continuous Improvement,” he said. “Last year we missed an ‘Effective’ rating by 1/10th of a point. “We received the highest test scores in seventh grade math in a five county area.”

More that 60 residents, teachers and other visitors attended the Ripley-UnionLewis-Huntington School District Board of Education meeting last Tuesday night. According to Tish Jones, classroom facilitator at the RULH Elementary School library, she and other staff members including teachers and some classified staff members as well as administration had submitted a letter to the board about their working conditions. “We wanted this letter we comprised to be read at the board meeting,” Jones said in a phone interview, “but they only agreed to read a part of it, so I decided to attend the board meeting and read it myself.” Jones said that accusations against certain employees and administrators in the school system were making working conditions unbearable for everyone. “We have proven that these accusations are taking place,” she added, “but nothing is being done to stop it.” In the letter Jones stated that in her 20 years as a RULH employee, she has never seen staff morale as low as it currently is, and that low morale is effecting everyone on staff and is spilling over onto the students. “The staff is afraid to talk to each other in the school building,” she stated. “Conversations start when you leave the building and after getting home. We have been bullied and some have been coerced into doing things we do not, and would not do under normal circumstances. There are vendettas against people that should never reach the workplace and this is unacceptable. Some people are walking around with targets on their backs waiting for the next shoe to drop to see what’s going to happen next.” Jones said staff members are afraid to do their jobs for fear that they are doing the wrong thing and will be reprimanded for it. She added that the staff members who are being discriminated against are the very ones who have worked so hard for the district and have been loyal employees. “These employees have given so much to this district,” she added, “and what do they get for being loyal to a principal or a superintendent? It’s shoved in their face. Tonight I would like to ask the RULH board to sit back and take a hard look around them. This many people can not be selfish and wrong. All we’re asking is that the board do what’s best for this district and help us all get better working conditions so our children do not suffer the consequences.” Also speaking for three minutes was resident Syl Flores who asked the board to consider what a great asset Superintendent Charles Birkholz is to the RULH school district. He praised all the efforts and accomplishments the superintendent has made for the district. Following a more than two

He told the board he is excited about the prospect of receiving a $750,000 Innovative Program Grant which he had applied for. The grant is to assist schools in improvement. Curtis also discussed the 90/90/90 and Beyond Program which applies to schools that have been identified as having 90% or more of the districts students were eligible for free and reduced lunch, 90% or more of the students were members of ethnic minority groups and 90% or more of the students met the district or state academic standards in reading or another area. Actions taken by the board included approving the following superintendent’s recommendations: • award fall and winter athletic supplementals; • award certified and classified contracts; • non-renew the contract for David Hudgins, high school math teacher for the 2011-12 school year; • approve the 2011-2012 school calendar; • accept the retirement of Carla Grannis and Michele Steinman; • accept the retirement of Gail York; • award AR supplemental to Jennifer Scott and Kelly

Happy Tax Freedom Day, Ohioans can finally reap the rewards of their hard work

Letters to the Editor Gas prices no thrill, Reader speaks ill of those who won’t drill Dear Editor, I’ve stated this before, but I want to do so again: We need oil. Alaska has plenty of it. Drill!!! An acquaintance of mine, an environmentalist recently tore into me about my insensitivity toward environmental causes and stated that I simply wanted to plunder the planet for making a profit. Wrong! I don’t want to plunder the planet for profit; just Alaska for oil! We’ve played around with this crap for too long and denied ourselves the opportunity to be self-sufficient regarding oil production - it’s time to change the nature of

the game to our own advantage. Enough of this dependency on foreign oil production. Obama is reluctant to release any oil we have in reserve to lower costs at the pump - he is reluctant to push for drilling in the Alaskan wilderness - he is reluctant to allow for off-shore drilling. Thus, we ought to be reluctant to put his butt back in office. There is way too much stupidity regarding all of this political posturing over the matter of oil. We need it, so produce it - it’s a ‘no brainer’. What about environmental impact? First of all, have you seen the place in Alaska sitting over the world’s largest oil

field? There is nothing there other than rock! No moose! No elk! No bears! No Eskimos! No Dunkin’ Donuts! No Sonic Drive-Ins! No nothin’! So...drill! (The rocks won’t mind.) Secondly, we have less intrusive ways of drilling as opposed to twenty five years ago and further back - environmental impact would be negligeable anyway, moose or no moose. People, tree-hugging hippie types that eat organic veggies and name their daughters ‘Sunbeam’ and their sons ‘Moon Puppy’, have a tendency to be swayed in their opinions by the environmentalist

nature - Nazi’s because, lets face it, everybody wants to try and protect that which is fragile in nature. However, there is another side to all of this. It amy seem a bit selfish to many to say this, but here goes anyway: A nation needs what it needs to survive intact in this world. Like it or not, the oil we sit on in Alaska is ours to exploit and use and keep us from being dependent on other nations. This is of much greater importance than protecting a rock strewn landscape with nothing else on it. It’s now a matter of pragmatism over idealism. it has to be this way for us to survive. Rev. Sam Talley

Bubp applauds success of the House’s first 100 days

E V E N

Tuesday, April 12 marked the 100th day that the House Republicans have presided over the Ohio House. Today, State Representative Danny R. Bubp (R-West Union) applauded the accomplishments of the House thus far during the 129th General Assembly, recognizing that still more work needs to be done. “I am honored to represent the people of the 88th House district and am proud of what has been accomplished in these first 100 days,” stated Bubp. “And I’m looking forward to continuing the work to make Ohio more business and family friendly.” Under GOP control, the Ohio House has hit the ground running and introduced 200 bills during the first 100 days of this Legislature. As a caucus, Speaker Batchelder and House Republicans have expediently considered and passed legislation that will improve Ohio’s business climate, protect vital local services, preserve jobs and small businesses, restore accountability to elections and government spending, improve community safety, and reduce damaging mandates on school districts—with more pragmatic solutions continuously being drafted and introduced. The creation of the agile economic development entity JobsOhio and the establish-

DANNY BUBP ment of a regulatory reform program through the Common Sense Initiative illustrate the House Republicans’ commitment to creating jobs and assisting small business development.

Let’s make the tax process fair for all homeowners Ohio homeowners are sending property tax appeals to county auditors at record rates. For many families, the property tax burden is overwhelming. Now is the time to ease the property tax burden on middle class families. Under the current tax code, taxpayers must itemize to receive the property tax deductions they have earned. Many Americans don’t itemize their taxes, including those who do not own multiple properties, make major charitable donations, or have many tax deductible expenses. In fact, some 1.5 million Ohio homeowners did not itemize their taxes last year. That is why I support legislation to put more money back in homeowners’ pockets. Property taxes are rising, but many homeowners do not itemize. Prior to 2008, only homeowners who itemized their tax deductions could claim deductions for state and local property taxes. A temporary measure that passed a few years ago allowed nonitemizing homeowners to deduct their property taxes, but capped the deduction at only $500 per individual and $1,000 per family. We can solve this problem with common sense legislation. That’s why I introduced

ROB PORTMAN report, the tax code, “has grown so long that it has become challenging even to figure out how long it is.” Individuals and businesses, both small and large, face daunting challenges each year when tax season arrives. Job creators are faced with a choice between adding new workers or paying for the remarkably high costs of complying with an onerous tax code. The Tax Foundation projects that compliance alone will cost over $391 billion in 2011. At a time when our unemployment rate remains stubbornly high, we need to be doing all that we can to reduce the overall tax burden, including the compliance costs on job creators so they can add new employees. If big-government policies and irresponsible deficit spending continue on the unsustainable path that they are currently on, Tax Freedom Day will likely come on a much later date for future generations, forcing Ohioans to work even longer to pay for a growing government. Over the past two years, I have traveled to every one of Ohio’s 88 counties and visited over 100 factories, farms and businesses to get input on how to bring jobs back to Ohio. Many cited the burden of taxes, both the amount of tax and the administrative costs to comply with such a CONTINUED ON PAGE 5

SHERROD BROWN the Homeowners Tax Fairness Act. The Homeowner Tax Fairness Act could provide Ohio homeowners with an estimated $2.9 billion on their federal income tax returns. The Homeowner Tax Fairness Act would make permanent the standard tax deduction for real property taxes for the millions of taxpayers who do not itemize deductions. It would also repeal the $500 limitation on property tax deductions, so more money is returned to the people who earned it in the first place. Working and middle class Ohioans already pay more than their fair share of property taxes. These Ohio families, who work hard to pay the mortgage, contribute to their communities, and play by the rules should receive the same tax breaks as their wealthier neighbors. Ohio families who struggle to pay property taxes shouldn’t face an outsized tax burden because of an unjust tax code.

This year, on average, Ohioans will work 102 days to pay for their tax obligations to the federal, state, and local government. Tax Freedom Day, calculated by the nonpartisan Tax Foundation, arrives on April 12th and is the first day that Ohioans can finally begin to reap the rewards of their own hard work. That means that instead of being able to save for your future or pay your child’s tuition, your rent or mortgage, or pay your electric bill, it takes 102 days just to pay taxes. We seem to be working harder each year to pay for the cost of government. Tax Freedom Day arrived three days later this year than it did last year and almost a full three months later than it did in 1910. This measure of taxation ignores the current year’s deficit, which is at its highest ever – $1.5 trillion. If the IRS actually collected enough taxes to finance all the federal government will spend in 2011, it would have to collect about $1.5 trillion more, moving Tax Freedom Day back to May 23rd instead of April 12th. Even without including the deficit, Americans will pay more in taxes this year than they will spend on groceries, shelter, and clothing combined. It’s discouraging that because of the amount of taxes we pay, we don’t start working for ourselves until 102 days into the year. But there is another issue, too, and that is the cost to comply with an increasingly complex tax code. According to an IRS' Taxpayer Advocate Service

Local business and law students witness 12th District Court of Appeals first hand By Martha Jacob The Brown County Press The 12th District Court of Appeals met in Georgetown April 19 to hear three cases of appeal. Presiding Court of Appeals judges include Stephen W. Powell, Robert P. Ringland, Robert A. Hendrickson, Robin N. Piper and Rachel A. Hutzel. Court Administrator, Ben Manning was also in attendance at the hearings.

The hearings were held in the presence of local high school students as a learning session to familiarize them on how the Court of Appeals operates. Students attending the hearings included DECA (Distributive Education Clubs of America) students from Ripley High School and the law and business classes from Southern Hills Joint Vocational School. At the April 19 session, the

The 12th District Court of Appeals met in Brown county before (front row from left) Judge Robert P. Ringland, Judge Stephen W. Powell and Judge Robert A. Hendrickson. (Standing from left) is Judge Robin N. Piper, Ben Manning, court administrator and Judge Rachel A. Hutzel.

Presiding judges heard three local cases, one civil case and two criminal cases. The students were given information on how the hearings would be set up and argued by attorneys in the presence of the three judges. Each of the attorney’s were given 10 minutes to argue their case and five minutes for rebuttal and close. Many of the students seemed to be captivated by what they were watching and hearing. Only the attorneys were in attendance of the hearing. The first case was for a man who wanted to change the court ordered amount of his child support payments as well as increase his visitation rights. The second case, a criminal case was a plea by a man who was accused of Gross Sexual Imposition who the man claimed had been coerced into making the accusations. The third case was over possession of oxycodone. The man charged was found in possession of only one pill and according to his attorney, the police had not kept track of a pending bust and therefore the drugs could have been planted. The 12th District Court of Appeals will rule on the cases at a later date.

Happy Tax Freedom Day

This year marks the 150th anniversary of the beginning of the American Civil War. On Friday, April 29, during the 15th annual U.S. Grant Days Celebration held in Georgetown, visitors will be privy to a presentation of “War Clouds,’ featuring Fritz Klein as President Lincoln Mr. Klein will be joined by the Liberty Band and vocalist Harriet Jackson accompanied by Glenna Smith. “Because this is the 150th anniversary of the civil war, we’ve changed a few things in this years Grant Day celebration,” explained historian Sue Basta. “For one thing, we are putting more emphasis on when President Abraham Lincoln was first elected into office. We will show more of the earlier things that happened just prior to the war. That’s something we generally don’t do. “We’re also going to emphasize the important roles that

women played during the civil war. We want to show just how strong women had to be and step up after their husbands, fathers and brothers went off to war.” Basta said she will feature Mary Livermore who eventually formed the “Sanitary Commission” responsible for helping families get in contact with the soldiers, helped clean up hospitals and a host of other things. “Mary Livermore’s story is a good one, that everyone will enjoy,” she added, “we’ll talk about how she was volunteering at one point and was told she had to get her husband’s permission first. Well, that did it for her. The roles in the family were reversed during the Civil War. And women did what they had to do.” Livermore was also instrumental in the Women’s Suffrage Movement after the Civil War. Basta said other strong-willed women of the Civil War will also be discussed. Other events of interest will be held in the Living History Tent including:

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 4 complicated tax code. The Job Creation Act, which I introduced on the very first day possible, reduces the burden of taxes on workers and small businesses. Economists estimate the payroll tax section of the Job Creation Act alone would create more than 1.4 million jobs. In addition, I am working to simplify and reduce rates in the tax code; including reducing the corporate tax rate to 25%, which has the potential to create 5.3 million jobs over ten years; and provide incentives for entrepreneurs to invest in plants, equipment and workers that will help innovation and growth in the United States. On this Tax Freedom Day, let’s rededicate ourselves to a government that lives within its means and a simpler, more sensible tax code that reduces the burdens for all of us.

Widely exhibited in the United States and internationally, her quilts have been included in five exhibitions at the Smithsonian’s Renwick Gallery. Her artwork can be found in numerous important museums and corporate collections. On Saturday, May 14, Russ and Barb Childers will be presenting The Story Quilt. Russ and Barb have been singing and playing music together as Bear Foot since 1983, when they appeared together in an off-Broadway production called "Close Harmonies" celebrating Appalachian poetry, music, and dance. The Story Quilt of Russ and Barb Childers takes folks on an interactive, musical journey of the imagination. Audiences discover family stories, proverbs and word play, folk beliefs and folkways - but especially the stories, songs, dances, and games from Appalachian traditions. In the past, the fabrics that made up a handmade quilt often came from bits and pieces of a family's discarded clothing. If those scraps could talk, what memories would they reveal for today's child? Today, the artists use fiddle and banjo and a full size quilt -- to find those threads that run true through our lives and connect our past to the present.

BODILY RESURRECTION In I Corinthians 15:12 Paul, being moved by the Holy Ghost, said: “Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?” Even in those days there were people saying that there was no bodily resurrection. It was only His spirit which rose from the grave! Listen Christians, when the body dies the soul and spirit leave. The only part which is buried is the body. The Bible tells us in II Corinthians 5:8 to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. Therefore, the word resurrection only applies to the body. It was the body of Christ which was nailed to the cross; His body was laid in the tomb. It was His body which arose. He told Thomas in John 20:27: “Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.” Christianity is the only religion in the world which has a resurrected Saviour. It is He who is our leader and guide. He lived; died, was buried, resurrected, and He is now alive forevermore! And furthermore, because He lives we shall live also. Paul told the Corinthians: “But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen: And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain. Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not. For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised: And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins. Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished. If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.” Now ladies and gentlemen, any gospel that has Jesus left on the cross, or left in the tomb, is incomplete. In order to fulfill the gospel, there must of necessity be three points. The first being, Christ died. The second being, He was buried. And the third being, He physically, bodily resurrected. Without all

DR. CHARLES SMITH MT. ORAB BIBLE BAPTIST CHURCH three points, you have nothing. Those three points are pictured again during baptism. It pictures the death, burial, and resurrection. Without the bodily resurrection of Christ you have no gospel because verse 17 states: “And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.” You might argue that it was His blood which cleansed you of your sins. Yes, but Paul said without the resurrection you are still in your sins. The reason is simple. The blood which Jesus shed on the cross must of necessity be carried by a high priest into the holy of holies, in the presence of God and there be offered on God’s altar in heaven (Revelation 11:19). The only way to get to heaven to do that was for Christ to bodily resurrect and offer His own blood. He told Mary Magdalene: “Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father...” He had a job to do. If His perfect blood was shed on the cross and never offered as a sacrifice there would be no forgiveness of sins. However, it was offered and once offered it was offered for all forever! The Old Testament tells us what had to be done. Aaron, a high priest, would take the blood of a sacrificial lamb and once a year enter in behind the veil. There on the Mercy Seat he would apply the blood for an atonement of sins of the people. Without that offering the sacrifice was not complete and there was no forgiveness. Likewise, if there were only two parts to the gospel of Christ, the death and burial, and there was no offering of His blood, there could be no forgiveness of sins. If Christ be not risen who do you think would be worthy to offer His blood? Thank you Lord for the resurrection.

Chatfield College and Southern State Community College recently signed articulation agreements with Mount Vernon Nazarene University-Cincinnati. The agreement facilitates the transfer of their associate degree graduates into MVNU’s Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) degree program. “These agreements assure students from Southern State and Chatfield a seamless transition into our BSW degreecompletion program, which is accredited by the Council on Social Work Education,” explained Karen Boyd, chair of MVNU’s social work department. Graduates are eligible for licensure in the field and/or for a one-year advanced standing Master of Social Work program. With an increasing number of students around the country enrolling at two-year community colleges, MVNU wants to make it easier for students to continue on their path of education to earn a bachelor’s degree. The agreement essentially lays out a “road map” for Chatfield and Southern

State students so they know which courses to take in order to fulfill their bachelor’s degree at MVNU. It ensures that their courses and credits are recognized. MVNU also holds this same agreement with several other colleges around the state and looks forward to forming future partnerships with other institutions in the southern Ohio area. “Our classes are taken one evening per week, one course at a time” stated Joanie Gruber, assistant professor of social work at the Cincinnati site, “We provide all-inclusive pricing that covers fees, tuition and books, as well as a laptop computer. We make starting and completing a degree convenient for adult learners.” MVNU’s BSW program offers class starts in October 2011 at its Cincinnati area campus located in Sharonville. To learn more, visit gps.mvnu.edu or contact 1-800-839-2355. Chatfield, a private Catholic, two-year liberal arts college, awards Associate of

Arts degrees in a number of areas, including human services/social work assistant. The school has two Ohio campuses, including St. Martin in northern Brown County, and Cincinnati on Logan Street near historic Findlay Market. With four locations in south/central Ohio, including Wilmington, Washington Court House, Sardinia and Hillsboro, Southern State is a two year community college where students may complete an associate degree in human and social services. Established in 1968, MVNU is an intentionally Christian teaching university for traditional age students, graduate students, and working adults who seek opportunities to learn and grow in an academic community of faith. Building upon the strong foundation of its main campus in Mount Vernon, Ohio, the University provides innovative graduate and undergraduate programs for working professionals in conveniently located campuses throughout Ohio.

SSCC hosts free National Theatre of the Deaf performance The National Theatre of the Deaf (NTD) will present a free workshop and performance Saturday, April 30, in the Edward K. Daniels Auditorium on Southern State Community College’s Central Campus, 100 Hobart Drive, Hillsboro. The workshop will begin at 1:30 p.m. and the performance will begin at 3 p.m. Both events, sponsored by SSCC, are free and open to the public. “One does not need to know sign language to fully enjoy this experience,” said NTD Tour Director Betty Beekman . “A National Theatre of the Deaf performance unfolds in two languages, signed and spoken, appealing to all audiences. By combining sign language with the spoken word, the company created this dramatic art form which speaks with voices of beauty and power: one for the eye and one for the ear.” The NTD is based in Connecticut and is a professional acting company made up of deaf and hearing actors. The theatre’s signature style, a combination of American Sign Language and spoken words, expands the boundaries of theatrical expression. This double-sensory style enables hearing audiences to see words as they are spoken. The one-hour workshop, which begins at 1:30 p.m., is an animated and informative look at the concept and history of the NTD by the actors of this unique style of visual theatre. The NTD actors will demonstrate the techniques they use in developing their performance. Following the workshop, at 3 p.m. the actors will perform “Stories in My Pocket,” a show that draws on the repertory of stories, fables, poems and riddles

What You Will Find: April 10,1792 was a significant day in Clermont County's history, it was the day two cultures collided... The members of one culture prided themselves as serving as caretakers of their great creator's earth from whose soil grew forth beans, corn and squash. Streams provided pure water, forest provided game for the cooking pots and wood for shelter and fire. For those who belonged to the second culture, the vast fertile land beyond the great Ohio River and between the Miami's ~ the Great and the Little~ nurtured their dreams and fed their desires to claim a piece of land for their own. A place unlike the heavy populated area East of the mountains; somewhere they would have

plenty of space to work and live. Maybe it was inevitable that on April 10th, 1792 Frontiersman Simon Kenton, Shawnee Warrior Tecumseh and their followers would confront one another at a place where the Grassy Run empties into the East Fork of the Little Miami River in Jackson Township. Little did they know that this confrontation would be recorded as the largest skirmish between the red man and white man in Clermont County! By: Sharon A. Brumagem

The Brown County Press - Sunday, April 24, 2011 - Page 11

“Pregnancy is not a crisis, it’s a life-changing event.” That’s what the staff of the Pregnancy Resource Center in Georgetown believes. “Our center was once called a crisis facility,” explained Tamma Plymesser, Executive Director. “Sometimes women just need a little help during what can be a very difficult time. The Pregnancy Resource Center is a non-profit agency, and receives no federal funding, no county funds and no village funding. It is solely dependent on the generosity of Brown County residents, private donations and contributions, churches and from fundraisers.

The facility operates with two part-time paid employees and several volunteers. “Right now we have an office in Mt. Orab at the Church of Christ,” added Plymesser, “but it looks like we might have to close it down. With the state of the economy, all agencies like ours are having it rough right now.” Plymesser said the center has quite a few young teens who visit the clinic fearing that they might be pregnant and are afraid of telling their parents and don’t know what they are going to do. “We offer emotional support,” she said. “We help them cope with their situation and often times arrange conferences with their parents. So many times these young girls

just don’t know where to turn. I’ve heard them say, ‘I can’t do this,’ but it’s our privilege to help them understand their pregnancy.” Plymesser said the first thing the center does is encourage the young girls to find a doctor from a list of all the available doctors. “Sometimes we find these girls a place to live because their families have thrown them out,” she said, “and sometimes we help them if they choose to give their baby up for adoption.” Plymesser continued, “That’s what we do, we make resources available to young mothers. They often don’t have any insurance so we get them in touch with the right agencies to help them. Sometimes we are able to help

them get their GED’s and become more independent. Sometimes they just need diapers, or baby food. Whatever their need, that’s how we try to help them.” But according to Plymesser, the services from the center, must be earned, and are not without a price. “For everything these young mothers receive, they must first attend a class where they earn points which can purchase anything from diapers to clothing to baby furniture to baby food. We offer six to eight-week classes that take place one day a week, which includes some homework. The classes teach the mothers about what they can expect and why the decisions they make are so important. They can earn from $165 to $225 in ‘baby bucks’ which they use to buy new and used items.” She explained that the reasons it is important that the young mothers earn the things they need is because when they earn items, they hold more value than if it were just given to them, it helps them maintain their self esteem and the classes help them to gain much needed parenting skills. “Unfortunately, many of these young mothers didn’t have great role models in their lives,” she said. “These classes are vital to them.” At the center one room is filled with nothing but brand new items, called the ‘Baby Boutique,’ that can be bought with baby bucks as well as one room full of slightly used item, called the ‘Blessing Room,’ such as maternity clothes and baby clothes from newborn to size 4 toddler, newborn layettes, diapers, formula and baby food. The center also offers specially designed programs including:

•’Blankies for Babieswatch a parenting video and then pick out three handmade baby blankets and quilts; • Crib Award Program Get answers to many questions that a lot of parents face. When finished, participants will be awarded a crib, mattress and sheet; • Relationship Classes Find out why “Men are like waffles and women are like spaghetti as they learn more about boyfriends or girlfriends; • Fatherhood-Not-ForSissies - Staff works one on one or with other dads so they learn that real men do change diapers and how to be an involved supportive father. “Everything we have here at the center is donated, both the new and gently used items,” Plymesser said. “When money is donated it is used to purchase items for the

center.” Plymesser said the monthly rent at the center is very reasonable and the landlords for the center, Ruth and Clarence Barnes have helped the center in many ways. “The Barnes have helped us out tremendously through the years,” Plymesser said, “they helped with with all the furniture at the facility as well as many generous donations to help us out.” The Pregnancy Resource Center is holding a Spring Fundraiser Dinner on Thursday, April 28 at 7 p.m. at the Sardinia Church of Christ, 7130 Bachman Road. “We hope everyone will come out and enjoy a great meal and support the Pregnancy Resource Center in its efforts to minister practical help to individuals and families from the community,” Plymesser said.

F’ville Cub Scouts participate in Pinewood Derby

Cattle mineral deficiencies and toxicity concerns As the hay supply is almost completely gone, and grass is almost ready, some people are turning cattle out on pasture. Some pastures look pretty good, but use some caution when starting out this spring. Remember the stress these pastures went through just a few months ago. Rotate early and often, so they have a few days of rest to recover. The amount of rain we have had this April has impacted the grass, too. Not enough sun, and plenty of moisture may lessen the quality of the forage in the pastures. Something else to keep in mind is a good mineral program. I have talked about grass tetany recently, but there are more mineral concerns than enough magnesium in the spring. The following are from some past articles dealing with mineral programs. These articles came to me in past editions of the Beef Blog. The Beef Blog comes from Purdue University daily. If you would like to receive it daily, drop me an e-mail at dugan.46@osu.edu Mineral deficiency symptoms aren't always loud and clear in cattle and can cost livestock producers in reduced performance rates, according to a Montana beef specialist. “Subclinical trace mineral deficiencies occur more frequently than recognized by most livestock producers,” said John Paterson, Montana State University Extension beef specialist of Bozeman, Mont. “This may be a larger problem than an acute mineral deficiency, because the rancher does not see specific symptoms that are characteristic of trace mineral deficiency.” Instead, with subclinical deficiency, the animal grows or reproduces at a reduced rate, uses feed less efficiently and operates with a depressed immune system resulting in inefficient production and lower profitability, Paterson explained. Minerals play a vital role in forage digestion, reproductive performance, the immune system and the development of bones, muscle and teeth. Mineral and vitamin deficiency may result in reduced forage intake, lower reproductive efficiency, poor disease immunity, slower daily gains and poor feed conversion, said Paterson. Beef cattle need a combination of macro minerals and trace minerals for ideal performance and health. The macro minerals cattle need include calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, salt, potassium and sulfur. The trace minerals they need in a diet include copper, zinc, manganese, cobalt, iodine, iron and selenium. Livestock producers need to balance the macro and trace minerals in the animal's diet as some minerals can counter the absorption of others if too much of one is consumed.

DAVID DUGAN “There has been some indication that excessive calcium in the diet may cause a manganese deficiency by increasing excretion from the body,” explained Paterson. A manganese deficiency is usually identified by impaired reproductive performance, skeletal deformities, shortened tendons in new born calves and reduced birth weights. Also, livestock producers need to be careful of what types of minerals they are using, as some types can be harmful to the animal's health. “Be careful if using organic iodine,” said Paterson. “Prolonged use at high levels can cause elevated temperature, dry coughing and runny nose and eyes. Young calves usually show symptoms first.” Iodine deficiency symptoms can be identified at calving include weak or stillborn calves, hairless calves at birth, impaired fertility, retained placenta and increased susceptibility to soft tissue infection. Other symptoms include foot rot and lump jaw. Another mineral in which cattle are often deficient is selenium. Symptoms of selenium deficiency includes white muscle disease, reduced disease resistance, retained placenta, weak or dead calves and chronic diarrhea, said Paterson. The other side of the coin is the risk of mineral toxicity. It is rare, but it can occur. It may be more of a risk now that we are feeding different feed stuffs with the high feed prices of the traditional feed grain. We also have to deal with sulfur levels in the water and grass in this area. Minerals are a key component in maintaining health and productivity of cattle. This area of cattle nutrition, however, is often overlooked when determining nutrient needs. Because mineral deficiencies are more likely to occur than toxicities rations are often formulated to easily exceed minimum animal requirements. In these cases it is important to determine if dietary mineral concentrations are beyond maximum tolerable concentrations for cattle. Mineral toxicities resulting from an over-supply in feed or water may have observable effects such as a decrease in animal performance or a change in animal behavior. Toxicities may also have hidden or indirect effects, such as accumulation in meat or milk, or environmental effects due to increased mineral levels in urine and feces. Additionally, an over-supply of minerals in cattle rations is an unnecessary and easily avoidable expense

to cattle producers. Animals may be exposed to toxic levels of minerals from a variety of sources. An important consideration when balancing rations is the relationship between minerals. For example, calcium and phosphorus are balanced on a calcium to phosphorus ratio. Calcium should always be included in diets at a greater concentration than phosphorus, and ratios of up to 6-to-1 are generally tolerated by cattle. If ratios fall below 1-to-1, animal performance may be affected even if phosphorus is below the maximum tolerable concentration. This ratio is difficult to maintain without calcium supplementation in most corn-based rations due to the high concentration of phosphorus and low concentration of calcium in corn grain. This can be even more of a challenge with ethanol byproducts such as distiller’s grains and corn gluten feed where concentrations of calcium and phosphorus are approximately three times those in corn grain. However, if proper calcium to phosphorus ratio is maintained, cattle can tolerate phosphorus concentrations above the maximum tolerable concentration. Considerable attention has been given to high sulfur levels in ethanol byproducts and the affect this may have on cattle health and performance. Sulfur levels in distiller’s grains generally range from 0.4% to 1.0% of dry matter. Although the maximum tolerable concentration for sulfur has been set at 0.3% for high-concentrate diets, research from the University of California indicated that growth performance may be inhibited in feedlot cattle consuming sulfur in excess of 0.2% of the diet dry matter. When feeding distiller’s grains to cattle, it is important to account for sulfur levels in water as well, and adjust distiller’s inclusion accordingly. Bunk and feed management is also important to ensure that rations are mixed completely and offered evenly to all cattle. Cattle can tolerate mineral levels well beyond their requirement; however, it is important to be aware that any mineral, if consumed in high enough amounts, can be toxic. Mineral toxicity is generally observed by decreased animal performance, anorexia, weight loss, and diarrhea. Specific disorders caused by mineral toxicity include urinary calculi from excess phosphorus or inadequate calcium to phosphorus ratio, grass tetany from excess potassium leading to reduced absorption of magnesium, and polioencephalomalacia from excess sulfur. In many cases, mineral toxicity can be overcome by simply readjusting rations to provide minerals at non-toxic levels. In extreme cases, however, mineral toxicity can lead to chronic problems and even death. In

addition, indirect effects of an oversupply of minerals may lead to unsafe accumulation of minerals in meat and milk, and may also impact the environment. Careful attention should be given to the formulation of mineral supplements, and the specific mineral balance of supplements should account for mineral concentrations in feed and water.

gling governments get there.” The LEAP Fund is a $1.5 million fund to advance costs of a performance audit to state agencies and local governments that might otherwise not be able to afford to have one conducted. The fund was created by Senate Bill 4, which was signed into law by Governor Kasich last week. Auditor Yost outlined the application process for those wishing to take advantage of the fund. Participating entities will be required to submit an application to the Auditor of State’s office. The applications are available online (www.auditor.state.oh.us/LEA P) and are due no later than May 31. Loans will be awarded beginning July 1, 2011; the start of the new biennium. Selection of participants will be based on a number of factors, including financial need, previous actions taken to reduce costs and improve efficiency and effectiveness, and a commitment to implement the recommendations made in the performance audit. “Experience shows that the local governments that could most benefit from a performance audit are often the very ones that can least afford one,” said Auditor Yost. “I am excited to be able to help them overcome this barrier and provide smarter, streamlined government.”

Creature Feature Understanding fleas will help you to control them To help improve your flea fighting skills, lets look at the flea and its lifecycle. Fleas are parasites that feed off their hosts blood and when a flea bites its victims skin it injects a minute amount of flea antigen. Pets vary in their reactions to flea antigen. In some pets the bite from one flea can trigger and skin rash. This can quickly escalate into far less infection as the pet bites and scratches at its irritated skin. As if this weren't enough, flea bites can also transmit tapeworms if swallowed by your itching dog. If your dog has fleas, it will usually scratch and bite around its lower back and tail. Fleas are easiest seen along the underbelly where the fur is sparse. In general, then fall off the skin of the dog and land in the carpet. In 2-14 days, they hatch into larva that feed on feces (dried blood) of a dult fleas. Fleas are fittest and most reproductive at temps of 65 80' and humidity > 70 percent. Dry weather, high altitudes, temps > 100' or < 0' are fatal to flea larvae. For most of the country this translates into a flea season from late spring through the first frost. However, if fleas become well intreached in your carpets during the summer, their reproductive activities may continue indoors interrupted through the winter, and, if you live in the relatively wild temperatures of the west or south fleas can be a year round indoor/outdoor problems that merely peaks in the summer time. Remember that the best time to begin fighting fleas is before the become a problem the best person to ask about flea control products is your veterinarian. Now is probably a good time to repeat flea control recommendations, as almost everyone with a pet will have some flea problems sooner or later if they aren't already. Many dogs and cats have at least a minor flea problem and a great number have major flea troubles. Controlling fleas is a neverending task. There is virtually a limitless supply of fleas from stray animals, wild animals, and your neighbor's animals. Even if your pets have no fleas now it is a good idea to treat your yard at regular intervals during the warmer months to make sure that any fleas that do arrive in your yard are sure to meet with

some insecticide and die. Yard sprays generally last one to two weeks, and granular insecticides will usually last one to two months, both dependent upon the the amount of rain or watering and your frequency of lawn mowing. It is a good idea to mow the lawn and rake the clippings before treating the yard. There are a number of good products for treating your house. The frequency of treatment will vary with the product used and how well you prepare the house for treatment. Please ask your veterinarian for specifics on house preparation. Remember to treat the car if your pet rides frequently, and treat any other place he visits. If you choose to have your house and yard done by a professional extreminator, be sure they are treating for fleas and not just roaches or termites or some type of yard pest besides fleas. Most exterminators do an excellent job; just be careful that they are doing what you are paying for. Treatment of pets for fleas is a widely misunderstood

task. The frequency of repeating treatments is very important. Most of the sprays, powders, and shampoos have to be repeated every 1-2 days to be effective. Flea collars have never been much more than just a partial aid in flea control and they are certainly a poor choice in comparison to other products. Flea control tablets and pour-on insecticides are available from your veterinarian. There is no scientific evidence that yeast tablets or garlic are of any value in flea control. Studies have been done and they can demonstrate no efficacy at all. Ultrasonic collars have received a similar grade when tested scientifically. Many people report that they work for a very short time, then lose their effectiveness. There is no magic to flea control. You must treat all your animals, the house, the yard, and the rest of the pet's environment. Treat all areas regularly and keep treating even after you don't see any more fleas and you will be able to get them under control. If you have any questions, ask your veterinarian for advice and reliable flea control products. Dr. Dan Meakin is the owner of All Creatures Animal Hospital, 1894 Ohio Pike in Amelia.

Ticks Carry more than Lyme Disease Clermont county residents and their pets need to become aware of the most common tick-borne disease in our county. In fact Clermont County has the highest number of cases in Ohio of this disease. Have you guessed it yet? I am writing about Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever (RMSF). RMSF is carried by the American Dog Tick, and infections are very common in Clermont counties tick season, between May 1st and July 31st. The tick will attach to pets or people and some will infect them with the RMSF microorganism. The symptoms usually appear 3-12 days after the tick contact, and include fever, headache, lethargy, inappetence, and a rash. If you suspect RMSF in either yourself or your pet, it is important to contact your physician or your veterinarian as soon as possible. Appropriate antibiotics must be given to help ensure a rapid recovery. This disease, along with any tick-borne disease, is best prevented by the following suggestions; • While outdoors make frequent inspections for ticks around the ears, armpits, and groin on yourself, all pets, and children. • Use tweezers and hemostats when removing ticks, and washup after doing so. • Apply a good quality flea and tick topical or collar to your pet on a regular basis and prior to hikes in high grass. • Avoid high grassy area for your pet and yourself. • Cut your dogs yard on a regular basis

Planning a butterfly garden BY Faye Mahaffey OSUE Brown County Master Gardener Volunteer One of my favorite things to watch fluttering in the summer breeze are butterflies. I keep my identification books handy, just in case I don’t recognize one of the many visitors to my flower gardens. I want to add some sort of bench to my butterfly garden this year so that I can relax as I enjoy watching the various nectar-sippers dining in the heat of the day. What do butterflies want? The survival of their species depends on attaining the warmth of the sun, food to eat, shelter from the elements, and a safe place to raise their kids. Butterflies need protection from the wind. You can accommodate them by enclosing part of the garden with walls or hedges, or sheltering it with plantings of evergreen or deciduous trees and shrubs. Butterflies feed on nectar. But before these insects become the fluttery nectar-sippers that visit our gardens, they exist as eggs, caterpillars, and chrysalises. Don’t stop at adding nectar plants to beds and borders. It’s also important to include host or larval food plants, which beckon to egg-laying females and the males that court them. Once the eggs hatch into caterpillars, they eat the host plants on which they were laid. Keep in mind that insecticides designed to kill ravenous caterpillars also destroy the butterflies you want to attract. An example would be the Greenand-black-striped parsley worms, which eat parsley, carrots, and dill, but hatch into glorious swallowtail butterflies! Sacrifice a few plants for caterpillar consumption in your garden. You won’t regret the outcome!

Most gardeners create their butterfly gardens by selecting flowers, but many trees and shrubs also make outstanding butterfly plants. Many common shade trees are important plants for butterflies and their larvae, including aspens and poplars, willows, buckeyes, serviceberries, birches, apples and crab apples, cherries and plums, and oaks. There is a very informative Fact Sheet (W-12-2002) you can find at ohioline.ag.osu.edu that lists many of the plant species that attract butterflies including: Asters, Bee Balm, Wild Bergamot, Black-eyed Susan, Blazing star, Butterfly weed, Cardinal flower, Columbine, Goldenrod, Ironweed, Joe-Pye weed, Sunflowers, Phlox, Spicebush, Violets, Virginia bluebell and Yarrow. Only a small amount of space is needed to provide butterfly habitat. The Butterfly Gardens Fact Sheet provides a check list that includes: Before you start, plan ahead. Map your yard and determine what environmental conditions you have, such as soil type and amount of sun. Locate gardens near areas that are sheltered from wind. Select areas that receive at least six hours of direct sunlight each day. Plant flowers in large diverse groups. Choose plants that vary in color, season of bloom, and height to provide different foraging opportunities and maximum year-round habitat for butterflies. Choose flowers with different structures. Butterflies have different length proboscises (tongues) that determine which flowers they can feed from. Provide cover and shelter such

as broad-leaved trees, shrubs, and log piles. Provide several landing pads or sunbathing perches in open and sunny areas throughout the garden. Butterflies rely to a large degree on thermal heating and sunbathe in these open spots. Provide a water source or puddle for butterflies. Bury a bucket or shallow lid in the ground and fill it with equal ratios of sand and soil, then periodically saturate the sand/soil mixture with water. Provide access to the water puddle by placing a few large rocks around the bucket or lid. Other resources you can find at ohioline.ag.osu.edu include: Native Plants of Ohio (Bulletin 865), and Backyard Enhancement for Wildlife (Fact Sheet W-10-2001). What at the benefits from planting a Butterfly Garden? Not only will you attract beautiful butterflies, but your yard also will be filled with colorful flowers throughout spring, summer and fall. Interested in learning how to prune your grapevines? The OSUE Brown County Master Gardeners will be teaching a seminar on March 10 at the OARDC (Research Farm) located at 7283 Gardener Road in Ripley.

The seminar will start at 5:30 p.m. and end at 7 p.m. If the seminar needs to be cancelled due to weather conditions, there will be an announcement by 3 p.m. on March 10 on the local radio stations (995 Max FM, C103.1FM, , Buckeye Country 105.5 FM, and WFTM). The weather date for the pruning seminar will be March 14 at 5:30 p.m. Don’t forget about the seminars being given by the OSUE Brown County Master Gardeners at the South Campus of Southern State Community College. All seminars are held in the library. The seminar time is 6 to 7:30 p.m. There is no charge.

While those rates may seem high, Highland and Clinton counties were number one and two in the state for the highest jobless rate for months in 2010, with rates topping 15 percent. Brown County is tied with Scioto County for the 13th highest jobless rate in the state in March. In February, Brown County was in 12th place. Deborah Plymail, Director of Workforce Connections of Adams and Brown County, said she is pleased to see the numbers improve, and expects more of the same as the weather improves. “This rainy weather hasn’t helped those in the construction business, among others”, Plymail said. “But we expect some positive movement when the weather begins to consistently improve.” Plymail said at least one roofing company had placed a request for workers with her agency. “We’re noticing more activity and more orders being placed in Adams and Brown counties”, Plymail said.

The list of Ohio counties with the highest jobless rates for March shows Ottawa County with the highest rate at 16.3 percent. Second is Pike County at 15.5, followed by Meigs County at 14.1 percent. Fourth on the list at 14.0 percent is Morgan County, followed by Clinton County at 13.7. On the other end of the spectrum, the lowest unemployment rate in the state can once again be found in Delaware County at Holmes and 6.2 percent. Mercer counties stand at 6.4 percent for March. Union County has the fourth lowest rate in the state at 7.2 percent, followed by Franklin County at 7.5 percent. The jobless rate is also lower in March for the Cincinnati area and the state of Ohio as a whole. The March rate for the Cincinnati Metropolitan Statistical Area was 8.6 percent, down from 9.4 in February. The state of Ohio saw a decline to 9.0 percent in March, down from 9.8 percent in February. Plymail said anyone looking for work in Adams County is encouraged to call her agency at 800 233-7891.

Job seekers can also visit offices in Adams County at 19221 State Route 136. In Brown County, the number for workforce connections is 800 553-7393 ext. 261. The address is 406 West Plum Street in Georgetown.

Inmate found dead in BC jail CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Smith added that Funk had answered “no” to jail intake paperwork that asked if he was considering suicide or had hurt himself in the past. Dr. Tim McKinley, the Brown County Coroner, ordered Funk’s remains to be sent to the Montgomery County Morgue for an autopsy to confirm the cause of death. Relatives who contacted the Brown County Press expressed anger and frustration at Funk’s death, saying jail authorities should have been aware of Funk’s mental state.

County health insurance disrupted CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Buffalo, NY with a regional office in Cleveland. Jennings said that new medical cards should be issued to all county employs on or before May 1, and he expects things to smooth out with medical service providers. As for any billing issues that got “caught up in the middle” of the transition from EBS to Meritain, Jennings advised employees to “keep all your paperwork. It is our intention to make every employee whole when this is all worked out.” Jennings used the example of a county employee having to pay $100 dollars for a prescription that normally would cost $50 dollars. “We will make sure that any legitimate expenses incurred by employees as a result of this transition are taken care of”,

Jennings said. Jennings said that there may still be some paperwork issues in the weeks to come because of the nature of the medical insurance billing process, but he expects things to “improve dramatically” with the issuance of the new insurance cards. The issue is further complicated by the fact that a new deductible year for county employees began April 1. That means that they are responsible for out of pocket medical expenses until the deductible is met. Jennings said that documenting deductible payments is another reason that it is important for county employees to keep their medical paperwork during the transition. Brown County is listed as an unsecured creditor in the bankruptcy filing by EBS. That means the county may

see a small settlement when the case is resolved. Brown County Prosecutor Jessica Little, in her capacity as county attorney, said “We are keeping a close eye on the situation to make sure that the county can recover any money it is entitled to.” The type of bankruptcy filed by EBS will mean a total liquidation of the company rather than a reorganization. EBS was paid approximately $7000 per month by the county for their services. He added that while that seems like a large figure, it was actually cheaper to contract with EBS for services rather than go with other alternatives. Jennings said that before the county signed the agreement with EBS, commissioners called other EBS customers and were told that the company did a good job.

unspecified amount of punitive damages. claiming that Dallas Tincher acted with actual malice toward John Carpenter. It also says that “Defendants Dallas and Ruth Tincher demonstrated malice and/or aggravated and egregious fraud by transferring assets away from Dallas Tincher following his indictment.” Joseph Hensley, the man accused of the actual murder of Carpenter, is scheduled to go on trial in June.

G’town schools cut budget CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 “We hate to see them go”, Toole said. The six positions that are being reduced in force are three bus drivers, a Treasurer’s Assistant, and a Secretary-Aide at the junior/senior high school. A part-time Nurse position and a Clerk/Typist position were also eliminated at the junior/senior high. A Secretary/Aide position funded through the Educational Service Center was also eliminated.

Nearly half of the budget reduction will be paid for through attrition. Three positions at the elementary school will not be filled, and an Intervention Specialist position at the junior/senior high school will be eliminated. To attain the rest of the savings, travel and expense budgets were cut and a contract for a Speech Therapist was reduced from five days a week to four. Field trips that are not paid for with Athletic or Activity Funds were also eliminated by the board.

Western Brown boys take title at WB Invitational track meet, WB girls finish second to Hillsboro By Dave Borst The Brown County Press

The Brown County Press/DAVE BORST

This Clermont Northeastern high jumper clears the bar early in the going at the Western Brown Invitational Track and Field meet on Tuesday.

The Western Brown Invitational track meet was held at Western Brown high school on Tuesday, April 19th. The Broncos and Lady Broncos hosted teams from all over the area. All in all, 11 teams participated, with Glen Este being the only scheduled competitor that was unable to attend. The schools that did participate included Clermont Northeastern, North Adams, Amelia, Hillsboro, Georgetown, Felicity, Bethel-Tate, East Clinton, Goshen, and Batavia. The top teams on the day turned out to be the host Western Brown Broncos, and

the Hillsboro Lady Indians, in their respective competitions. The boys team from Western Brown finished first, with the Hillsboro boys in second. On the girls side, Hillsboro and Western Brown swapped places with the Lady Indians finishing in the top spot, and the Lady Broncos in second. One of the top individual performances on the day belonged to Western Brown junior Mack Tudor, who set a meet record in the discus with a throw of 167 feet, eight inches. The Broncos will be on the road again on Saturday, April 23. They will be taking splitsquads to meets at Taft, and at Batavia. Both meets should begin at 10am.

UC Clermont College presents Women of Paris, a cabaret concert for the community. Direct from Chicago, Parisborn Claudia Hommel and singer-pianist Elizabeth Doyle celebrate the great female singers of Paris. Be transported to Paris with the energy of music-hall and a dose of intimate Chicago-style cabaret when you are seated up close to the action in UC Clermont’s Krueger Auditorium. The performance will take place on Wednesday, April 27, from 2 to 4 p.m. (with one 20 minute intermission). A question and answer session will be held during the intermission and after the performance. This

event is free and open to the college and community. In an updated version of the Fred Astaire-Audrey Hepburn Bonjour Paris, the opening song declares, “some were born in Paris, some made it in Paris, and others had the greatness of Paris thrust upon them.” One of America's favorite singers of French song, Hommel brings her cabaret magic to concert halls, clubs and schools. She'll transport you to Paris. Born in Paris, raised in Detroit, seasoned in New York City and calling Chicago home, Hommel leads an active career as a theatrical singer in clubs, recital halls, museums, libraries and theatres
