Kristofferson Lorenzo, 33, of Chula Vista, CA; Private Andrew Krippner, 20, of Garland, Texas and Private Thomas Allers, 23, of Plainville, Michigan.

Sardinia man dies in motorcycle crash Sydnor went left of center, striking an oncoming truck
“I spoke to Seth about six months ago and he was telling me about leaving for Hawaii for his training and he could hardly wait. I remember he said all his friends would want to come visit him in Hawaii. “Everybody liked Seth. He was active in all kinds of things, not only in the school but in the community.” Grimes said Seth’s death forces us all to reflect on what’s important in our lives and get our priorities straight.

Husband charged with causing wife’s drug death Robert Crane faces 11 charges BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press
BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press A Sardinia man is dead following a head on crash on Bardwell West road on May 24 about 7:15 p.m. According to the Ohio State Highway Patrol, 26 year old Ronald Sydnor was traveling west on a 1999 Suzuki motorcycle when he failed to negotiate a curve, crossed the center line and crashed into a 1997 Ford Ranger truck driven by Tonia Cahill. The Patrol said the vehicles met head-on and Sydnor was thrown from the motorcycle. The truck and the motorcycle then skidded approximately fifty feet before coming to rest in the westbound lane. Both vehicles then caught fire. Sydnor was pronounced dead at the scene by Brown County Coroner Dr. Tim McKinley. Cahill and a passenger, Ronald Petrey of Williamsburg, were taken by Mount Orab EMS to Mercy Mount Orab Medical Center for treatment of non-life threatening injuries. The Ohio Highway Patrol said Sydnor was wearing a helmet at the time of the crash and that the wreck remains under investigation.
where he played basketball, ran track and also played soccer. He was a member of the band and was a member of the National Honor Society. He tutored students in both Spanish and math according to Jennifer Grimes, principal at Eastern High School. “I had Seth in class about five years ago, when he was a sophomore,” Grimes said. “He was this engaging, very likable young man. I can hardly believe he’s been out of school for three years.
The husband of a woman found dead of a Heroin overdose last March near Aberdeen has been charged with crimes related to her death. Robert Crane faces 11 drug related counts, including Involuntary Manslaughter and Corrupting Another with Drugs. Brown County Prosecuting Attorney Jessica Little said that “but for (Crane’s) commission of these drug offenses, Christine Crane would be alive today. His conduct is the
proximate cause of her death”. Christine Crane was found unresponsive by Aberdeen Life Squad rescue crews on March 17, after Robert Crane placed a 911 call. She was taken to Meadowview Regional Medical Center in Maysville, Ky., where she was pronounced dead by Mason County Coroner Robert Brothers. Little said authorities believe Robert Crane has fled the state and that warrants for his arrest will be issued. “Law enforcement in this county is committed to pursuing drug cases for reasons like this”, Little said. “A woman’s life ended CONTINUED ON PAGE 9
Local unemployment rate takes a tumble BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press

A shoe and other debris remain at the point of impact. The truck is in the distance.
The unemployment rate in Brown County took another tumble in April. The jobless rate in the county now stands at 10.3 percent down from 11.7 percent in March. 10.3 percent is just shy of a two year low. The rate stood at 10.2 percent in October of 2010. If it falls below that number, it will be in territory not seen since 2008. Deborah Plymail, Director of Adams Brown Workforce
Connections, is optimistic that the downward trend in the unemployment rate will continue. “I actually think the numbers would be better if we hadn’t had so much bad weather lately”, Plymail said. She added that rain tends to hurt “outside” employers such as construction companies. Plymail said that she is noticing hiring picking up in manufacturing, retail and health care among other industries. The news is also good for the surrounding area, with

and see some good things happen for health care here in Brown County.” The legislation reads “if a separation from county service occurs in connection with the lease, sale, or other transfer of all or substantially all the business and assets of a county hospital organized under Chapter 339. of the Revised Code to a private corporation or other entity, the appointing authority shall have no obligation to pay any compensation with respect to unused vacation leave accrued to the credit of an employee who accepts employment with the acquiring corporation or other entity, if at the effective time of separation the acquiring corporation or other entity expressly assumes such unused vacation leave accrued to the employee's credit.” Brown County Hospital Board of Trustees Chairman Eric Sontag said he and the board are “getting excited” as the closing date draws near.
“It’s really sinking in that we now have someone committed to keeping excellent healthcare in Brown County”, Sontag said. Brown County CEO Joan Phillips has already laid out some of the plans Southwest Healthcare has for the future of health care in Brown County. Phillips said the changes will include hourly rounds to patients by nursing staff and phone calls being made to patients after they are discharged to follow up with them. Phillips added that the goal for patients admitted to the hospital will be to provide them with a private room until all rooms are full before two patients will be placed together in a room. In the Emergency Room, Phillips said procedures are being put in place to decrease waiting time in ER, and increase nursing coverage while patients are there. ER patients will also receive

For years our family has contributed to students at this school but I have always wanted to get the track and field program started up again.” Molitor, who attended Fayetteville Schools herself, said that in 1950 she was running dashes for her school, which at that time was held at the fairgrounds in Georgetown. “It was then that I met a

senior boy who was running a relay,” she continued. “That boy asked me to the prom, and two years later, we were married. We returned to this area to raise our family. I’m wondering now if it isn’t time to start this program again for our kids. I see in the paper every day about young men and women from other local schools who are participating in track events, and Fayetteville-Perry students aren’t involved. She concluded, “I want to donate this check for $3,000 to help get the program started, and I will commit to donate another $1,000 a year for the next two years to the program.” Following her donation, board member Jim Holden thanked Mrs. Molitor and told her it was a very gracious offer and the board appreciated her reasons for wanted to start up a track and field program in the school. “My concern here is that with all the things we’re having to do to cut costs in our budget, including terminating some of our positions,” Holden said, “I am concerned about how the public would respond to this, if we bring on a new sport right now. I do really like your I idea but I’m not sure about the timing.” Molitor suggested charging for sporting events or even a gate fee. “We are almost to the point of total pay to play here at Fayetteville Perry,” Holden added. “Charging to attend these games is a good idea, and makes perfect sense. But as you know the union won’t allow us to let coaches coach for free, even if they donate the money back to the school, we can’t hold them to that every year. So it’s just a sticky situation. But your proposal is personally very well received by me.” Molitor said she had looked into what the total cost of starting a new track and field program and found that it would cost about $8,300. She believed that some of the equipment for the team could be bought on the internet or from schools that have con-
solidated or closed. The board accepted the check and plans to consider the possibility of starting a track and field team and hopefully hear from the community on their views of the new program. In other business, volunteer football coach Jim Allessi spoke to the board in regard to the recent bid the board received on construction of bleachers and a press box. “I passed this bid, drawn up by the school, to a couple attorney friends of mine and they expressed just how limited and tightly it was written,” Allessi began. “This description is written up for a Cadillac press box and bleachers, when all we need is a Chevy.” Allessi told the board that the description of the job was 112 pages long and difficult to read and understand. He said the restriction were unnecessary and placed too much on contractors. The board needed a bid to be near $85,000, but the closest bid was for $96,000, which forced the board to rebid the project. Allessi offered the board a copy of a bid request for a similar project at Belleview School in Ohio which was only 13 pages with all specs included. “I’m not saying this bid isn’t for a great press box and bleachers,” he added, “I’m just saying it’s written too tight and we don’t really need all this.” Superintendent Roy Hill said he would send a copy of the Belleview bid to all the board members for review. He thanked Allessi for bringing the issue before the board. Board Treasurer Jo Anna Carraher went through the five-year forecast she had prepared and answered questions from the board. She told the board that the way the budget continues to change from day to day, it is virtually impossible to predict the economy in five years. “From October to now, May, the information we’ve received has continued to change and we just don’t know what we’re going to end
up with,” Carraher said. “I have the figures down, but I’m really hoping that by the end of this year the cuts will be less than I’ve projected. “The staff and my office have worked hard to keep costs down as much as we possibly can, and I think it’s helping.” Carraher said at the end of 2012 the school budget will be $7,533,989 and leave a balance at the end of the year of $506,126. However, the beginning balance is projected to be $7,253,893 with an ending balance of (negative) $45,388. “At this point we really don’t know what the Governor may decide to do if he doesn’t get some of his concessions,” Carraher added. “But I do know we can not end up in the red in 2013, so we’re facing some serious changes.” Following a lengthy conversation, the board voted unanimously to approve the five-year forecast. Carraher also told the board that she was investigating the possibility of permitting a private auditor, (approved by the state), to do the school districts annual audit. She said the plan could save the district $30,000 over a three year period. She is also looking into obtaining credit cards for parent to pay for lunches, books and other expenses at the school on line. The program would cost the school a onetime $475 set up fee then $350 a year to maintain. She plans on doing a onecall survey to every parent in the district to find out if the on-line paying would be something they would be interested in. Raegan White, interim superintendent, suggested checking with Fifth-Third Bank for a local internet service that could also save the district money. Following executive session items approved included: • approval of a professional day as well as several contracts for certified teachers; • approval of the adult lunch price increase from $2.75 to $3, elementary school lunch fees will be voted on at the next board meeting; • approval of the 2011 graduating class; •accept donations from Kathleen Johnson for $100, from Jim Holden for $100, from Fayetteville PTO for $200 and from Garry Luke for $100 towards the Employee Appreciation Lunch set for June 2: •accept a donation of $874 from the PTO towards the Elementary Principal’s Fund.

First State Bank graciously donated a new flag to the Village of Ripley which will fly at the village park. The flag, which was delivered by councilwoman Roberta Sidwell, was presented to Mayor Tom Leonard during the May 24 council meeting. “This is a nice gesture,” said Mayor Leonard, “and we appreciate First State Bank for giving it to the village.” In other actions at the council meeting, council members discussed the proposed village ordinance to allow golf cart inspections and then allowing golf carts to drive on the streets within the village corporation. Councilwoman Sidwell expressed her concern over the safety of allowing golf carts on the streets. “Do we still have to pass an
ordinance to allow this?” Sidwell asked council. “I was under the impression that we had to that, I did some research and I thought it said that we still have to pass an ordinance because each village had to approve it.” Village Solicitor Jay Cutrell responded to Sidwell’s comments. “No that’s not right,” Cutrell said. “At one point we did discuss that but it is legal to drive on streets with a golf cart if the vehicle is approved.” The motion was made to have the third reading on the ordinance, seconded and council members Daniel Dragoo, Scott Eagan, Charles Poole and Judy Brooks voted to approve the ordinance while council members Sidwell and Nowana Bingaman voted against the ordinance. The ordinance passed by majority. Council also held it’s third reading on an ordinance to approve a 4-way stop at Hanover Street and Division. The ordinance was adopted unanimously.

A family suffers at the altar of freedom
E V E N
Memorial Day is a time for national unity Last month, I was honored to visit our brave troops in Afghanistan, giving me the chance to get an update on the latest challenges they are facing, and thank them on behalf of all Ohioans for their service to our country. They are the frontlines on the War on Terror. Several days after my visit to Afghanistan, a small team of our elite Navy SEALs found and killed Osama bin Laden, the terrorist mastermind behind the deaths of thousands of Americans and other innocent people. A sense of pride and national unity was evident among all
ROB PORTMAN Americans in the days following the announcement of that successful operation. We witnessed that pride and unity nearly ten years ago after the attacks of 9/11 and before that in Desert Storm during the liberation of Kuwait. Americans have always united for a common good and will continue to do so in the future.
Keeping law enforcement officers safe Ohio’s law enforcement officers make great sacrifices to keep our communities safe. Now, it’s time to make sure that America’s public servants have the resources to remain safe from the innumerable threats they encounter while on patrol. A new proposal would quickly alert the public in the event that a police officer is feloniously attacked while on duty. This is one modest investment we cannot afford to ignore. During National Police Week, communities across Ohio and throughout the United States commemorate law enforcement officials who have died while on duty. Their families, of course, live with their loss every day. According to the most recent FBI data available, 48 law enforcement officials across the United States were killed in the line of duty in 2009. More than 57,000 were assaulted while on the job. A mother of two young sons, who I recently met in northeast Ohio, is leading an effort to reduce the number of law enforcement officials who make the ultimate sacrifice. Sara Winfield’s husband, Brandy, was shot and killed while on duty as a Marion County Sheriff Deputy. Sara once wrote that her husband, Deputy Brandy Winfield, knew that he wanted to be a cop when he was a boy. “He became an explorer with the Sherriff’s office. He started dispatching before he graduated from high school,” Sara wrote in a tribute to her husband.
SHERROD BROWN Surviving spouses like Sara Winfield are transforming grief into action. As a leader in the group Concerns of Police Survivors (C.O.P.S.), Mrs. Winfield is now helping other families cope with the loss of their partner, parent, child, colleague, spouse, or sibling. And she’s fighting to protect police officers and the American public from the most violent of criminals. To aid advocates like Sara, I’m cosponsoring legislation to create a nationwide alert system to apprehend people suspected of injuring or killing police officers. The bipartisan National Blue Alert Act of 2011 – similar to the “Amber Alerts” used to find missing children – would establish a national communications network within the Department of Justice (DOJ) to disseminate information when a law enforcement officer is seriously harmed or killed in the line of duty. This alert would drastically reduce the time necessary to locate and arrest suspected criminals. Some thirteen other states have a Blue Alert system in place. However, no such alert system exists in any Midwestern state. Using existing Community Oriented Policing Services

We may live in politically polarizing times, but we also live in an America protected by the same blanket of security woven by the countless sacrifices and acts of heroism that have guaranteed our freedoms decade after decade. Sometimes those sacrifices happen in quiet, almost unnoticed acts of bravery. Other times they happen with great fanfare and publicity. In either case, those who serve now, or those who served in the past, did not dedicate their lives to the cause of a divided nation. They fought and sometimes died because of their belief in the values for which America

(COPS) program funding from the DOJ, the Blue Alert system would, first, encourage state and local governments to develop additional protocols to help apprehend suspects. Blue Alerts would be broadcast on local media and messaging signs and would include a detailed description of the suspect, vehicle, and other identifying information. In addition to the Concerns of Police Survivors, the Fraternal Order of Police, the National Sherriff’s Association, and other groups support this bipartisan legislation. We need to act swiftly. Sara and survivors throughout the United States endure an immense personal loss that can never be repaid. Here’s what we can do: communities can join advocates for the Blue Alert system in ensuring that the tools are in place to stop the people who harm and kill law enforcement officers. This can serve as a powerful deterrent to a detestable crime. Let’s work to keep our communities safe. We can start by equipping law enforcement officials with the tools needed to stop criminals and improve their ability to respond to violence without delay.
has long stood – freedom and democracy and an America that is one nation, under God, indivisible. The freedoms we enjoy today exist because of the blood and sacrifice of the brave men and women who, through more than two centuries of American history, have proudly worn the uniform of our country. Each time we peacefully gather to worship in the faith of our choice, we do so because Americans have risked their lives to defend our freedom of worship and assembly. Every time we cast a vote in an election, that opportunity is afforded us by heroic members of our Armed Forces who sometimes made the ultimate sacrifice to guarantee freedom and democracy back home. When we criticize our government leaders or raise our voices in protest or complaint, we are exercising our freedom of speech under the giant shadow cast by those of courage and commitment who repeatedly fought back the forces of tyranny and oppression. Americans come together in times of national crisis, tragedy or triumph. But it should not require an event as horrific as the attacks of 9/11 or as consequential as finally ridding the world of the terrorist leader bin Laden to unite us as Americans. However ordinary or routine the daily exercise of our precious freedoms may seem, we should never fail to remember their cost. Whether it’s because our troops have brought justice to the murderer of three thousand innocent Americans, or because they have, through their vigilance, simply kept America safe for another peaceful day, our daily appreciation should bind all Americans in a shared sense of purpose. As we observe Memorial Day this year, may we all stand together to honor the memory of those whose service and sacrifice have preserved our freedoms from generation to generation.
WAYNE GATES, EDITOR “Dear Madam, I have been shown in the files of the War Department a statement of the Adjutant General of Massachusetts that you are the mother of five sons who have died gloriously on the field of battle. I feel how weak and fruitless must be any word of mine which should attempt to beguile you from the grief of a loss so overwhelming. But I cannot refrain from tendering you the consolation that may be found in the thanks of the Republic they died to save. I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of freedom. Yours, very sincerely and respectfully, A. Lincoln” Thank you for your service, Seth.

Letters to the Editor Reader says oil companies responsible for gas prices Dear Editor, I just finished reading Rob Portman’s article in the May 15 issue (of the Brown County Press) on harnessing American energy to lower gas (prices) and create jobs. I agree that some of the points he uses makes sense however I’ve heard them before. Especially when big oil companies are continuously raising prices at the pump. I also agree that they use a host of reasons, the latest being high demand and unrest in the Middle East. However, sometimes they say it’s the Middle East raising the price per barrel or in the case when the price per barrel was going down and there was a lot of oil on hand it (gas prices) went up because we never had enough refineries. I believe that the #1 reason is profit. Now
don’t get me wrong. I believe in profit but when you’re making record profits and in many cases like Exxon Mobile, pay no income tax to the USA, then that should raise a red flag. Mr. R. Portman also brings up Washington DC’s unwillingness to tap into our own energy supply as far back as 1970. What he never brought up was we have the greatest military machine in the world but without fuel it is worthless. The one thing we saw in Germany during World War II was the most powerful tanks in the world setting helpless after we cut off their fuel supply. In more recent history the USSR went broke, remember ‘tear down the wall’ but Russia still has a powerful war machine and plenty of energy to fuel it. I CONTINUED ON PAGE 5

The family and friends of Seth Blevins are mourning his sudden loss, and my heart goes out to them. Blevins was killed in Afghanistan on May 23. He died wearing the uniform of his country after volunteering to preserve, protect and defend it. He will be brought back to Brown County where he will receive the honors that his sacrifice merits. He will get salutes, symbolic and real, that recognize what he did for his family, his community and his country. He is not the only one that deserve respect and thanks for sacrifice, however. His parents, Trisha and Steven, his teenage sister...and countless other family members and friends deserve a salute as well. They gave us a precious gift. They had to go about their lives knowing that a phone call bearing bad news could come at any time...and it did on May 23. The pain that the Blevins family is feeling has been felt by countless others over the years...including a woman in Boston who received this letter from President Abraham Lincoln in 1864.

Complete antibiotic resistance In the previous article on antibiotics we mentioned that penicillin is becoming less and less effective. This week we’ll look at how bacteria become resistant to any antibiotics. We can start out with penicillin and then generalize about growing resistance to other antibiotics. Unfortunately, first we’ll need just a little chemistry. Part of the penicillin molecule is what’s called a beta lactam ring. What this consists of is a square with carbons atoms in the top two corners and the bottom left corner and a nitrogen molecule in the bottom right corner. This ring is only a part of the molecule and is attached to another 5 or 6 sided ring. For those of you interested, I’d suggest Googleing it. Seeing a diagram makes it easier to visualize, although you
HEALTH MATTERS TOM CALLAHAN, RPH don’t actually need to know what it looks like to understand how the bacteria are resistant. The reason I brought up this part of the penicillin molecule is that certain bacteria are able to produce an enzyme called betalactamase. This enzyme is able to break apart the beta-lactam ring, which destroys penicillin’s antibiotic properties. What ensued was a spy-vs-spy escalation where pharmaceutical companies tried to design better antibiotics by trying to protect the beta-lactam ring from the

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 4 believe we need to use more of our own resources but I don’t think we should give big oil a free hand in removing our fuel supply. I truly think the USA is being held hostage by not only big oil but the new world order or better known as free trade or global trade market. We now have 52 major US companies and 79 foreign companies in the US not paying income tax. That doesn’t account for smaller companies. I don’t think our politicians have the power or are afraid to do anything about it. I think that is why they don’t like to talk about it and some get angry
when its brought up in interviews. I believe America is being sold off to foreign investors at an alarming rate and even though I think we need to cut spending, mainly wasteful spending, we need to restore our income from the wealthiest Americans whose income has went up 385 percent over the past 30 years while their taxes have been cut and working out a fair tax for American companies who create jobs at home. We need to face the fact that no one is gong to come up with a replacement for oil as long as its worth trillions. Gerald E. Whitt Sardinia
enzymes and bacteria producing newer enzymes which were more efficient at destroying the it. Leading up to one of our latest scourges which is Methicillin Resistant Staph Aureus, better known as MRSA. Staph aureus is a common bacteria that lives on our skin and is responsible for skin infections like impetigo and boils. The methicillin part of that name is one of the “super” penicillins that was impervious to beta-lactamase. So how do these bacteria come up with these enzymes in the first place? It’s called natural selection. Remember that penicillin is a naturally occurring chemical produced by a mold; therefore, over millions of years bacteria were able to produce an enzyme that inactivated the mold’s penicillin so it would have an advantage of an ecological niche. It could have the area around the mold all to itself. Similarly, over the years as we use penicillin to kill off disease causing bacteria, what we end up killing first is the most susceptible bacteria leaving the resistant bacteria behind. Now when we were killing 99.9 percent of the bacteria, our own immune system could easily handle the stragglers that were naturally resistant. Unfortunately, as penicillin and other antibiotics become more ubiquitous we are naturally selecting the hardiest and most resistant bacteria. Now comes the scary part. There is evidence that bacteria can share parts of their DNA called plasmids and transfer resistance to multiple antibiotics across different species of bacteria. There is evidence of these plasmids being transferred between gram positive and gram negative bacteria, according to Patrice Courvalin (Dept of Biology, Univ. of California San Diego). These are not bacteria that usually “hangout” together, so you would not expect them to even be able to share DNA. Drug resistant strains have led hospital administrators and infection control supervisors to have to deal with a whole alphabet soup of deadly new killers such a MRSA, CRKP, MDRTB, C-Diff and XDR-TB. The problem with getting into a spyvs-spy game is that the first to give up loses, and the pharmaceutical companies have given up. There’s just no money in coming up with the super antibiotic. When it’s discovered everyone will want to save it for the final last ditch effort when everything else has failed, and there’s no money in having your drug sit on the shelf waiting till all else fails. If you have a question you’d like me to address, stop in and see me at Pamida pharmacy, call me at 378-6849, or send an email to PRXM093@Pamida.com.

A recipe for homemade granola has led the Amish/Mennonite Schlabach family, owners of The Home Place in Georgetown, to local fame and possible national notoriety. “More than 15 years ago, my wife Susan found this old family recipe for granola,” Delbert Schlabach explained. “She
B R O A D S H E E T
made some of it and the whole family just loved it. Then we began offering it to guests in our home and they wanted her to make it for them.” Schlabach said the granola remained a family treat as their business began. “We opened The Home Place about five years ago and featured our hand crafted Amish made furniture, but then we started getting requests for bakery items. Before we knew it,
our pies and breads were flying out of the store”, he said. Schlabach said with the help of his four daughters and two sons, he and his wife were overwhelmed trying to keep up with the bakery item orders on Friday mornings when they did the bulk of the baking. “We needed something to fill the shelves during the week that had a long shelf life,” he said with a chuckle. “Because we don’t use preservative, our bakery items have to move pretty fast, so my wife started making her granola and filled the shelves. But before we realized it we were having a hard time making enough granola, even with my daughters helping out.” The very unique granola comes in several variations including ‘Tried and True,’ ‘Triple Treat’ and now the very popular ‘Naturally Sweet,’ especially made for anyone with diabetes. The Tried and True granola features maple flavor, old fashioned oats and slivered almond. Tried and True (reduced sugar) is also available. Triple Treat boasts walnuts, white chocolate and dried cranberries. Other varieties include Clear Conscience, Plenty Peanuts and Little Ones. “We are very excited about our Naturally Sweet granola,” Schlabach said, “it is becoming so popular we started mailing it to our customers.” The Naturally Sweet granola variety is made with fructose, lactose and sucrose and is completely natural with a touch of maple flavoring. “All our first-time customers leave our store with a complimentary bag of our Tried and True granola,” he said. “Usually that’s a guarantee that they will be back.” The Home Place ships its products out of state as well as wholesale to several stores including locations in Jackson,
Wilmington, Hamilton and Washington Court House. “We are very excited about obtaining our license to manufacture our own products,” Schlabach said. “Our plan is to distribute our granola nationwide, as well as many of our other products.” The Home Place also carries: • Dining room furniture • Bedroom furniture • Living room furniture • Handmade mattresses • Decorations • Office and Entertainment items • Outdoor furniture • Gazebos and swing sets • Log cabins and mini barns “I worked construction for 20 years, and never seemed to have enough time to spend with my family,” Schlabach said, “but now by wife and my children all work here together. What more could a man want out of life?” The Home Place is located at 7771 US Rt. 68 near the Rt 125 intersection in Georgetown. Its hours are Monday through Friday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., closed on Sundays. You can visit www.thehomeplacefurniture.com to learn more about the famous granola or call (937) 378-3400 for more information.
Next to the 4,000 sq. ft. showroom of handcrafted furniture, outside the facility, the parking lot is also its own showroom.

Verses 5-9 states, “When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he saith to Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat? And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do. Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that everyone of them may take a little. One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, saith unto him, There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many?” Now we are not talking about loaves of bread as we know them. They were about the size of a hamburger bun only not as thick. Verses 10-11: “And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand. And Jesus took the loaves: and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would.” Notice how God does everything orderly. He had them set down on the grass, He gave thanks to God the Father, and then He distributed the food to his disciples and the disciples distributed the food to the people, everything in its order. Verse 12 : “When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost.” The marvelous thing is that God can supply all your need, but at the same time, He is not wasteful. He can take a little and turn it into much. And he always has a plan. Verse 13: “Therefore they gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above unto them that had eaten.” There was one basket for each of the twelve disciples! It was as if he was asking them: Do you really see and understand what I have just done? Remember the story in the Bible about the widow who told the prophet that she had just enough meal to make herself and her son a small cake? Because of the famine in the land she thought they were going to starve to

DR. CHARLES SMITH MT. ORAB BIBLE BAPTIST CHURCH www.bbcmtorab.com death. He told her to go on and make the cake but feed him first. She did. When she went back to make some for her and her son she found that the meal and the oil never ran out. Don’t you think that what God did for those people back then, He will do for you and I today? I believe He does. In fact, I have experienced that in my life. He has supplied all my need. Can you agree with me that Jesus is wonderful? He never fails. Those people back then thought He was wonderful. In fact, so much so that they were going to take Him by force and make Him king. They thought that if He could do that with bread they would never be hungry again. But Jesus had other plans. He could not be their king at that time. They did not know that they needed to be saved from their sins. In order to save them from their sins He would first have to die on the cross. He would have to arise again on the third day. And He would have to offer His precious, sinless blood as an atonement for their sin. And not for theirs only, but for all mankind. “For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” It is all according to who you have in your heart. “He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.” Will you believe today? Or are you condemned already because you simply refuse to believe? Won’t you let Jesus come into your heart today? Won’t you repent of your sin and ask God to forgive you? Salvation is free! All you need is a little faith and He will do the rest. After that, nothing can pluck you out of His hand. He wants to care for you.

By Martha Jacob The Brown County Press With the Memorial Day weekend approaching, graduations and summer temperatures, there will be a lot more traffic on the roads and law officials across Ohio will be enforcing seat belt laws. The Brown County Safe Communities Coalition officially kicked off the “Click it or Ticket” campaign on May 24 at a special meeting of local county officials, law enforcement officials and
other community members. Sue Basta, Ph.D., R.N. with the University of Cincinnati Area Health Education Center coordinated the kick off. “Buckling your seat belt is the single most effective thing anyone can do to protect themselves in a crash,” Basta said. “In 2008, seat belts saved more than 13,000 lives nationwide. In fact, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, from 2004 to 2008, seat belts saved enough lives, (over 75,000) to fill a large sports

During the recent “Click it or Ticket” kick-off, Basta also paid tribute to Taban Flores a senior at Ripley-UnionLewis-Huntington (RULH) High School and president of the FCCLA (Family, Career and Community Leaders of America) for winning the High School Seat Belt Challenge Award. “The RULH FCCLA won for the wonderful video they made on the importance of fastening seat belts,” Basta said after the video was shown, “They did a wonderful job.” Basta presented Flores with a plaque as well as a check for $100 for her school. Also receiving awards was the Southern Hills Career and Technical Center Safety Team. The school won in the ‘Best Overall Seat Belt Use Rate’ and the ‘Highest Rate of Improvement.” Accepting the awards, as well as two checks for $200, was Gus Baumgartner, advisor for the safety team. Lt. Brian Welling, the new Post Commander at the Ohio State Highway Patrol in Georgetown spoke briefly about how his officers will be committed to handing out citations to anyone who isn’t wearing a seat belt.

Hospital sale nearly complete follow up telephone calls. For patients seeking medical appointments, Phillips said the goal was to allow patients to have appointments within 3 days. Patients with acute symptoms will be seen the same day they call if possible. Regarding quality standards, Phillips said an “aggressive evaluation” is underway to make sure that “quality standards at Brown County General Hospital meet or exceed the highest industry standards”. Phillips added that all education and certification standards for staff were being examined to see if anyone needed additional training or certification. She also said that Southwest planned “increased involvement with our physicians” to “pick their brains and get their input”
on policies and procedures. Phillips also said that physical changes are also on the way for the facility. “We’re taking a fresh look at the appearance of the building”, she said. “We’ll be looking at ways to make the environment more comforting and inviting.” Southwest Healthcare owner Paul Tuft echoed those sentiments on May 11 when he and the hospital board signed the Asset Purchase Agreement. “We have high hopes and big dreams of restoring Brown County General Hospital to the kind of hospital the county envisioned when it started the hospital many years ago. We want everyone in the county to feel that it is their hospital and the place where they want to go for their health care needs”, Tuft said.
He added that he hoped to share the anticipated success of the venture with the employees of the hospital. “We look forward to working with them and to restoring the hospital to a position of profitability so the employees will be able to enjoy better compensation than they have right now.” Tuft committed in writing in the Asset Purchase Agreement to staying in Brown County. The provision reads “Buyer confirms that (i) it intends to continue to operate the Hospital as an acute care hospital; (ii) it has no plans to eliminate any material services currently offered by the Hospital; (iii) it plans to extend the continuum of health care services in Brown County; (iv) it intends to assess the feasibility of providing the full continuum of health care
services either through the ownership of the necessary assets or through partnering with other providers; (v) it intends to expand health care services in Brown County (subject to its ability to recruit necessary physicians and other personnel); (vi) it will work with local physicians and civic leaders to determine the other hospital services most needed in the community; (vii) it intends to reduce the out-migration of Brown County residents for healthcare by recruiting additional physicians to the Hospital; (viii) it intends to focus initially on recruiting primary care physicians and targeted specialists and sub-specialists.” Phillips said that Southwest Healthcare planned an open house at the hospital some time in the near future.

They were committed to this case the moment they laid eyes on Christine.” Little said that Robert Crane faces “decades” in prison if convicted of all charges.

Little said “If Crane is convicted of simply permitting the drug use, the third degree charge will apply. If he’s convicted of actively furnishing the Heroin, the first degree charge applies.” The other first degree felony charge is Engaging in a Pattern of Corrupt Activity. Crane also faces two second degree felony charges of Corrupting Another with Drugs and two fifth degree felony counts of Possession of Heroin. He also faces three misdemeanor charges of Permitting Drug Abuse and Possession of Drug Abuse Instruments.

Westfall slides past Lady Warriors in district final By Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press In last Saturday’s district final between Eastern and Westfall, it truly was a matchup of two even teams. Both could manufacture a run when needed, both had pitchers who could keep the other team off balance and both played good defense. And both made a couple of errors that helped the other
team. Unfortunately for the Lady Warriors, they made one more mistake and it cost them. The Lady Warriors season came to an end after falling to the Lady Mustangs 3-2 in the district final at Valley High School in Lucasville. “The last game we played was almost perfect and I said on the bus coming up we’re probably not gonna play a perfect game,” Eastern coach Dennis
The Brown County Press/ANDREW WYDER
Maria Johnson scores the second Eastern run in the top of the seventh inning last Saturday in Lucasville. Johnson scored on a wild pitch as Westfall pitcher Gina Rosshirt waits on a throw.
Forsythe said. “The (team) that makes the least amount of errors is gonna win and that’s exactly what happened.” His theory was put to test almost immediately. The Lady Mustangs struck first after Eastern made a mistake. With one out, Sara Link bunted a ball in front of the plate. Lady Warriors pitcher Maria Johnson fielded the ball and threw it to first base. The ball got past second baseman Kayla Ratliff, who was running to cover the first base bag. Link ended up at second. After she was bunted to third, a bit of an odd play got her in with the first run. Brittany Armuntrout hit a slow grounder to shortstop. She beat out the throw for an infield single. As the ball was getting to first base, Link broke for home. Emily Tatman threw to the plate and the Lady Warriors had Link in a rundown. But Shelby Mullins throw to third base was just a bit off line and it got past third baseman Megan Staggs. It allowed Link to score and make it a 1-0 game. Then both Johnson and Westfall pitcher Gina Rosshirt went into cruise control. Neither team was able to muster anything off either pitcher until the fifth inning. The Lady Warriors broke through in the top of the fifth. This time it was a Lady Mustangs mistake that helped the Lady Warriors. With two outs, Kaylee Purdy hit a grounder to shortstop.
Purdy hustled down the line and forced a high throw that allowed her to reach second base. Johnson then came through with a double to deep left field. It scored Purdy to tie the game at one. There was no break in the offensive action this time, though. Westfall took the lead right back in the bottom of the inning.
Back to back one out singles put runners on first and third with one out. Kara Redman got the second Westfall run in with a sacrifice fly to center field, making it a 2-1 ballgame. The Lady Mustangs added to their lead the next inning. Rosshirt led off the inning by reaching base with an error. After two groundouts got her to third, Olivia Cobb singled to center field to bring her in and
give the Lady Mustangs a 3-1 lead going into the last inning. In the final frame, the Lady Warriors mounted a comeback. Savannah Newman led off the inning with a single. After an out, Johnson worked a walk. Shelby Mullins then hit a ball the shortstop got to. She tagged Newman out and tried to get the double play at first. Her throw was off line and CONTINUED ON PAGE 14

It seemed like a harmless enough play. With Tanner Williams on second and Hunter Hammons on third for the Fayetteville baseball team, cleanup hitter Stephan Pappas hit a ball towards the shortstop. Both Seven Hills shortstop Harrison Addy and Williams arrived at the same spot as the ball at the same time. They collided enough with one another that the ball got past Addy just into left field. The umpires ruled runners interference, meaning no one scored and Williams was out. It seemed as if the wind had been taken out of the Rockets sails when the next two batters couldn’t get the runners in. And the Stingers took advantage of the momentum and got past the Rockets 4-1 for the sectional championship last Thursday, May 19 at Bethel Tate High School. “We kind of went flat there,” Fayetteville coach Tim Carlier said. “We kind of got flustered. It flattened us a little bit.” The momentum-shifting play was a bit odd and controversial. Immediately after Williams had ran into Addy, the field umpire right on top of the play didn’t signal for
runners interference. Hammons and Williams were both allowed to score before both umpires got together amid confusion from both Carlier and Seven Hills coach Brian Phelps. Eventually the umpires ruled that Williams had in fact interfered with Addy and that neither run would count. The Rockets, who moments earlier were fired up thinking they had taken a 2-0 lead, seemed to go into a daze after the call was made. When the Rockets weren’t able to get a hit to drive in Hammons from third, they were forced to try to recover quickly enough to keep the game scoreless. However, it seemed as though the momentum had already shifted. Rockets starter Derek Peters had rolled through the first three innings without giving up a hit. In the fourth the Stingers started to get to Peters. He gave up two hits but was able to work himself out of the jam to keep it a scoreless game. Then, in the bottom of the fifth inning, the Stingers took control. Jack Nenninger led off the inning with a single to center field. After Peters got a strikeout, Caleb Daniel walked. Addy then doubled to deep

Fayetteville catcher Stephen Pappas pounced on the bunt attempt by Seven Hills Ari Shifman. Pappas got the out on the play but the Rockets lost the sectional title game 4-1 to the Stingers Thursday, May 19 at Bethel.
left field. The hit scored Nenninger to give the Stingers a 1-0 lead. Peters then got another strikeout and it looked like he might get out of the inning allowing only the one run. Ryan Ferrell put that thought to rest. He helped himself with a bloop single that just got to the outfield grass and scored both Daniel and Addy. It pushed the Seven Hills lead to 3-0. Matthew Moneith got Ferrell in with a single to left field to give the Stingers a 40 lead. Though the Stingers only collected six hits off Peters in the game, they picked up four in the deciding fifth inning. “We had more hits,” Carlier said. “We had eight hits and they had six. The only problem was they had hits at the right time.” Even though they collected more hits, the Rockets were only able to put together a couple real chances to put runs on the board. One was the turning point in the game. The other was when the Rockets tried to mount a comeback in the top of the last inning. Peters got things going with a single to left field. His pinch runner, Taylor Wood, came in to score on a double to deep center field by Cody Shaw. One out later Nick
Helmers reached on an infield single to shortstop. Shaw moved up to third on the play. Ferrell, who had pitched well enough to keep the Rockets off the board for the first six innings, struck out Taylor Smucker to end the game and ice the sectional championship for the Stingers. If it wasn’t for the odd play and the funk it seemed to put the Rockets in for a couple of innings, they may have been able to pull the game out. “It was just that one bad inning where they beat us up and caused us to lose that game,” Carlier said. While the sectional loss was disappointing, the Rockets still could hold their heads up high for as well as they had played throughout the season. They finished the season 14-5 overall and 12-1 in the Southern Hills League. There 12-1 record in the SHL was good enough for the Rockets to win the league. Carlier said the key for the improvement was how much better the Rockets played on defense. “I thought the season went pretty well,” he said. “The only thing we lacked last season was defense and this year we stepped up the defense.”
Three Western Brown teams will have new faces patrolling the sideline when the new school year begins in August. Western Brown athletic director Tim Cook said that volleyball, girls soccer and girls basketball will have new coaches starting next season. With longtime volleyball coach Heather Cooper taking over the Western Brown principal duties next fall, a former Lady Broncos player will take the top spot occupied by her former coach. Carla Fite, a 2000 Western Brown graduate, will take over for her former coach. She played her senior season for Cooper. She takes over a strong Lady Broncos program after spending the past three seasons as coach of the volleyball team at Amelia. Her record with Amelia 34-32 and she turned around its volleyball program. She led the school to its first winning season last year while battling the Lady Broncos during Southern Buckeye League play. Cook said he was looking forward to welcoming Fite back. He said he believes she will succeed because of her work at Amelia. “She did a great job with them,” he said.”We had to play well to beat her Amelia team last year for the league title.” Fite said she is excited to return to her alma mater and to take over a program that has been very successful under Cooper. “I’m actually really excited about it,” she said. “My main goal is to keep the success of the volleyball program going. I’m not going to come in and make a bunch of changes” While Fite was an outside hire, Cook kept the girls soccer and girls basketball hires inside the Western Brown family. Dan Silvis will come back to lead the girls soccer program to replace Anna Howell. She is leaving to spend more time with her family. This is the second time Silvis will have coached the Lady Broncos. He previously coached the team from 200103 when his twin daughters, Amber and Ashley, played.
He stepped down then to become an assistant for the program so he could watch his daughters play in college. But he has stayed involved with the program as an assistant, including last year, and as boys head coach from 2006-09. Even when Silvis took over the boys program, he had envisioned coming back to the girls program. “My heart’s always been with the girls program,” he said. “I went to the boys side because Tim Cook asked me to take over when they needed a coach. Since the girls had Anna, I told him I would take the boys over for a few years but I always wanted to come back to the girls side.” Cook said he thinks Silvis will be able to slide right back in. “He’ll do a good job,” he said. “He’s been around the younger kids for a while and now he’s came back to us. It was a pretty easy move for me.” Silvis’ replacement for the boys soccer team now has some more responsibility. Kyle Fender, who just finished his first season as Broncos boys soccer coach, will take over the girls basketball program from John Kirschner. Fender will continue to coach the boys soccer program in addition to becoming the new head man for the girls basketball team. Cook said he has no doubts that Fender can take on both responsibilities successfully. “He’s just a worker,” he said. “He puts in a lot of time.” Fender has some experience in juggling both because he spent last season as an assistant for the gir ls basketball team, and he said that time will help him as head coach of both programs. He said he has a strong familiarity with the program as he was able to work with players on the freshman, junior varsity and varsity last year as an assistant and looks forward to taking the program to the next level. “The program has a great reputation in the area and I would like to keep our great reputation in the area,” he said. “I want to take the high expectations we have locally and look for more postseason success as we try to create a better name for Western Brown girls basketball in southwest Ohio.”

Eastern’s Shelby Mullins looks to get a hit against Westfall in the district championship game last Saturday in Lucasville. The Lady Warriors lost the game 3-2.
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Shelby Mullins was safe at first as was Johnson at third. Tatman drew a walk to load the bases and it looked like the Lady Warriors were in business with two outs. A wild pitch during Katy Mullins’ at bat brought Johnson in to close the gap to 3-2. Mullins then hit a ground ball back to Rosshirt for the final out to preserve the Lady Mustangs district title. Though the Lady Warriors weren’t able to win, Forsythe was able to put what they accomplished into perspective. “Most people are going to lose a game (in the tournament),” he said. “We’ve come further than a lot of people so they need to keep their heads up.” Even with the loss, the Lady Warriors accomplished quite a
bit in Forsythe’s first season as coach. Not only were they district runner-up, they were Southern Hills league Division I champions and sectional champions. “That is a good year,” he said. “It’s just disappointing right now but that’s a good year.” He was happy with how they performed off the field but was nearly, if not more, proud of how they acted on and off the field. “Overall, I thought we did good,” he said of his first season. “When I told them to do something they did it. That’s all you can ask for. And it’s the best group of girls. I’m never, ever gonna have a group of girls like that.” The Lady Warriors finished the year with a 16-6 record.
Former Fayetteville baseball standout Mark Williams is heading to the Division III College World Series this weekend as his Marietta College Pioneers return to the World Series for the first time since 2007. Williams, a 2007 Fayetteville graduate, has played a key role in helping the Pioneers ascend to the No. 1 ranking in Division III and a 42-3 record. The senior hurler has compiled a 7-1 record this season with a minuscule 1.67 earned run average and has struck out a team leading 84 batters to this point in the season. He was named First Team All-Ohio Athletic Conference (OAC) following the season. It was the first time in his career he was named AllLeague. Williams was directly involved in helping the Pioneers make both the Division III tournament and the College World Series. He pitched seven strong innings in the Pioneers OAC Tournament clinching win over rival Heidelberg. His performance in the conference tournament earned him All-OAC Tournament honors. Against the same Heildelberg team in the MidEast Regionals, Williams pitched five and a third innings in the Pioneers 23-6 win over Heidelberg in the semifinals of the Regionals.

The ADRA Race of Champions Series kicked off their inaugural season as part of the Freedom Fighter’s 40 event at Moler Raceway Park (MRP) on Friday May 20th. With 30 of the best regional late models on hand it was a battle throughout just to make the feature event. The night started out with single lap qualification and it was Parkersburg, West Virginia’s Tyler Carpenter coming out on top with a 14.316 lap taking top honors. In heat race action it was Carpenter, Bloomington, Indiana’s Kent Robinson, and Wheelersburg, Ohio’s Rod Conley taking the victories setting the first 12 starting spots of the feature. Sardinia Ohio's Barry Doss and Whiteland, Indiana’s Mike Cawood claimed victories in each of the B-main events setting the 20 car starting line-up. At the green flag it was Rod Conley out front with Carpenter and Robinson in pursuit. Through the first portion of the race it looked as if Robinson might be the fastest car as he passed Carpenter for second but those two would trade that position once again on lap 18. While the race was slowed by a couple of minor cautions it was all "Rockin" Rod Conley as he led flag to flag to claim the $2,500 and title of the 2011 Freedom Fighters 40 Winner. Carpenter, Eddie Carrier Jr, Greg Johnson, and Kent Robinson rounded out the top five finishers. In the Mt. Orab Ford Modifieds, there were 26 cars on hand with Randy Wash, Devin Gilpin and Jeremy Berwanger claiming heat race wins while Matt Hamilton took the B-Main victory. In the feature event it looked like Jeremy Berwanger was going to claim his first victory at MRP but at the halfway point Devin Gilpin was able to get underneath and take the top spot away and set sail for his first victory of the season in his

H’ville Kindergarten make it take it night successful On Thursday, April 14, 2011, the Hamersville Kindergarten teachers held a Make It Take It Night for parents of incoming kindergarten students for the 2011-2012 school year. The evening began in small groups with children working with their parents to personalize their bag for holding educational materials to be used throughout the summer and the following school year. After decorating, the kids enjoyed playing on the playground and making new friends with their future classmates. Meanwhile, classroom teachers and parents worked to create many materials that will prepare students for their first formal year of schooling. Materials that the parents made to take home addressed letters, sight words, rhyming, numbers, shapes, colors, and name writing. The kindergarten teachers (Debbie Adkins, Kathy Meeker, Teri Stephenson, and Angela Walters) appreciated those families who made the effort to come and learn about ways to help their youngster succeed! This night was made possible through the Ready Schools Grant, and Hamersville School is grateful to be a part of the passionate journey to make the transition to kindergarten an easy one for parents and students alike.

participant in the quilt barn trail phenomenon that links their Quilt Barn and Covered Bridge Tour with other Ohio counties participating in the “Clothesline of Quilts” across Southern Ohio and throughout the United States. Brown County features 22 quilt barns and 5 covered bridges on a self-guided tour through its picturesque byways and rolling hills. Brochures/maps will be available at the Festival Quilt Show in June. The Quilt Barn and Covered Bridge Tour is one of more than 3,000 Quilt Barns in 30 states and 2 Canadian provinces. Quilt barn trails stem from one woman’s dream to honor her mother and to celebrate Appalachian heritage crafts. Donna Sue Groves (Adams County, Ohio) had the first quilt barn painted in 2001 to honor her mother Nina Maxine Groves, a master quilter. Please join us in June for the Washboard Music Festival Quilt Show at the Bowen House. Sit on the tree shaded lawn, listen to great music and then take a leisurely walk through the Bowen House to see the exquisite quilts from the Safe House Quilters.

celebrates the accomplishments of our older citizens in recognition of May as Older Americans Month. Each May is observed across the nation as Older Americans Month, a time to celebrate the contributions seniors make to their communities. This special observance was established in 1963 to acknowledge the contributions of past and present older citizens. Every President since Kennedy has issued a formal proclamation during or before the month of May asking the entire nation to pay tribute in some way to older persons in their communities. The observance is sponsored by the US Administration on Aging. This year’s theme for the month is Older Americans: Connecting the Communities. During this month, the AAA7 joins with its providers, local senior centers and other important partners in the aging network, in paying homage to the many ways in which older adults bring inspiration and continuity to the fabric of our communities. This year’s theme also highlights the many ways technology is helping older Americans live longer, healthier and more engaged lives. Representatives from the AAA7 and Brown County
Armyworms found in some Ohio fields
CMYK
As if all of the rain is not enough with the delayed planting, delayed harvest of forages, and diseases that go with too much moisture, now there are more reports of insect problems. This time we are talking Armyworms. Farmers are encouraged to scout fields for insect problems including Armyworms and other insects that typically damage crops early in the season. Alfalfa Weevil may also be an issue, but with the wet conditions, we may be limited in what can be done in some cases. Check the C.O.R.N newsletter from OSU Extension on a weekly basis for updates. If you would like to be added to the e-mail list for the C.O.R.N. newsletter or other updates, send me a request to dugan.46@osu.edu Terramaster Get a 24c in Ohio With the extended forecast calling for more and more rain, tobacco plants may need to be held even longer. Most of Ohio’s plants are not hurting at this point, but some may be. Pythium soft root rot has been a problem in float systems for several years. Terramaster fungicide has been used to prevent and cure this problem, however the label only allows for the product to be used for 8 weeks after the plants are placed in the float system. The 24c label which was recently approved in Kentucky is now approved for Ohio, too. This special local need label permits Terramaster to be used until 5 days prior to transplanting. Keep in mind that the seasonal limit did not change, but this can help extend the protection for plants later into the season until the weather cooperates. Keep in mind, you are required to have the 24c label with you when using products that are approved for a special local need (24c). Local Wineries Open May 28, 30 Sometimes some of the best kept secrets are right in your own area. If you have not checked out some of the local vineyards and wineries, you may be missing the boat. The local wineries have award winning wines on a global scale, not to mention some other exciting things to check out. Four local wineries will be open this weekend including: Meranda-Nixon, La Vigna, Harmony Hill and Kinkead Ridge. For a calendar of the hours this weekend, including details and directions, go to http://kinkeadridge.com Please Help Yourself
DAVID DUGAN The title might be a little misleading at first, but my point is that we do have to do just that. When I say, Help Yourself I am referring to the situation with wildlife issues. It is not uncommon to get a call about a coyote or black headed vultures killing a calf, a pig, or other small animals. Hopefully you do not have to deal with this, but if it does happen on your farm, you are encouraged to report it. The more records we have, the better the chance of getting something done about the problem. So please report the problems when they occur and encourage your neighbors to do the same. Contact your local wildlife personnel in the local Soil and Water office in your county. Donna Bailey Memorial Scholarship Lamb Classic The second Donna Bailey

How are things looking in your garden? The persistent spring rains have made it challenging to get a garden planted this year! I left my rabbit fence up and have planted Swiss Chard, Spinach, Lettuce and Cucumbers. Let’s see if Peter Rabbit and his family will figure out a way to graze in the garden this year. As usual, there were a few winter “casualties” in the perennial beds, so I have started my wish list for the local nursery. My June list of gardening tasks includes: Water newly planted plants and transplants Do the watering early in the morning Weed planting beds as necessary and sprinkle a “Pre-emergent” Throw healthy garden clippings onto the compost pile Deadhead repeat-blooming roses to encourage more flowers Spray roses early and regularly to prevent fungal diseases Dig or pull out excess perennials and share with a friend Pinch back chrysanthemums when 4 to 6 inches high Continue direct-seeding vegetable crops Keep an eye on your tomato plants and spray a protectant fungicide when necessary. For effective fungicides and spray schedules consult the Ohio Vegetable Production Guide (OSU Extension Bulletin 672). Here are a few facts about
watering your plants. A deep watering is more beneficial than a light one; moisture that penetrates the soil thoroughly helps the growth of roots buried deep in the ground. Watering lightly encourages the growth of roots at the top of the soil, where they experience acute stress during a drought. Watering early in the day allows the sun to dry the leaves of your plants, to help ward off the growth of fungal disease like black spot or powdery mildew on foliage. Avoid watering at midday when the sun is most intense, since a good portion of the water will evaporate before it can help the plant. This year might be the time to consider more drought resistant plants for your gardens. Two informative Fact Sheets available at http://ohioline.osu.edu are Drought Resistance in the Home Landscape (HYG-1643-94) and General Maintenance of Herbaceous Ornamentals (HYG1236-98). As you mulch your landscape this year, remember that mulch should never be placed against tree trunks. This practice promotes rot and disease. If you mulch around the base of a tree, make sure the mulch is no more than ½ inch thick near the base of the trunk. If your tree looks like it is coming out of a “volcano” of mulch, be sure to bring that mulch away from the trunk!!! Remember to e-mail your gardening questions to Mike Hannah at mhannah2@msn.com. Here’s hoping June brings us a great gardening month!

4th Annual Accapella Singing set for Friday, June 4 at Highland County Fairgrounds Once again, Christians from the tri-state area, will gather together for the sole purpose of praising God in song on Friday, June 24, beginning at 7 p.m. at the Highland County Fairgrounds. The congregation that meets at Sunnyside Church of Christ sponsors the event and they would like to invite everyone to come out and enjoy the singing festivities.
This singing is not about denominations, it’s not about being great singers, it’s about singing from the heart to thank the Lord in song and prayer. We especially welcome song leaders. In past singings, all four parts, soprano, alto, tenor and bass were each well represented. The strong and magnificent sounds coming from the Wharton Building
shook the rafters and could be heard blocks away. Please come out and enjoy the singing. No collections will be taken up. The more participants in this accapella singing, the more beautiful the praise. For more information visit www.sunnysidechurchofchrist.org or please send your question to Dacronman@gmail.com.

The Safe House Quilters are long time quilters from in and around Ripley. They informally meet to share their expertise and friendship in the time honored craft of quilting. They have been instrumental in organizing periodic quilt shows for local events.

Seth’s sister Paige is a junior at Eastern High School. His parents Trisha and Steven reside in Russellville. “Seth went to Ohio University in Athens for a little while,” Grimes added. “He was actually there on an ROTC Scholarship, but he always had designs on joining the army, and that’s just what he did. “He is a hero in every sense of the word, he made the ultimate sacrifice and for that I am grateful to him.” Grimes said it was her understanding that Seth was riding in a Humvee when it was hit sometime Monday morning, May 23. Military officials officially notified the family Monday evening. Arrangements for the family will be handled by Meeker

Flags all over Brown County were lowered to half staff as news of Blevin’s death spread.
Funeral Home, 308 North Russellville. Details were Columbus Street in incomplete at press time.
Unemployment rate tumbles jobless rates falling in neighboring counties, the region and the state. Adams County saw the jobless rate fall 1.2 percent to settle at 12.2 percent. Clermont County’s rate fell .7 percent to 8.4 percent, Clinton County dropped .6 percent to 13.1 percent and Highland County fell .5 percent to 12.8 percent. The jobless rate for the Cincinnati area fell to 8.1 percent in April from 8.6 percent in March. That area includes Hamilton, Clermont, Butler, Warren and Brown counties.
Statewide, the unemployment rate dropped to 8.4 percent in April from 9.0 percent in March. Plymail said an added benefit may come if Brown County’s jobless rate falls below the magic number of 10.0 percent. “People feel better when they see single digit rates”, Plymail said. “And many times that positive perception can translate into positive realities as business are encouraged by the news and hire more people of their own.” The jobless rate in Brown County is down 3.2 percent in
the past two months, from 13.5 percent in February to 10.3 percent in April. The highest unemployment rate in the state for April is in Pike County at 14.5 percent. Second is Clinton County at 13.1, followed by Meigs County at 12.9. Highland County is fourth highest at 12.8 percent and Ottawa County is in fifth at 12.6. On the other end of the spectrum, the lowest unemployment rate in the county is in Mercer County at 5.8 percent. Second lowest is Delaware County at 5.9 percent.

Keeping kids active on rainy days What can you do on those rainy days at child care when outdoor play is impossible? Good child care providers are always prepared for these days and plan indoor activities to keep children busy. Here are some ideas for rainy day fun: • Circle games and exercises; • Homemade musical instruments; • Finger painting and other creative arts; • Cooking experiences; • Science activities and simple experiments; • Large cardboard cartons and props for dramatic play; • Homemade puppets, props, and simple sets for a puppet theatre; and • Let children use their imaginations! Avoid television, videos, and computer games. If you are looking for new ideas for your child care program, contact COAD Early Care and Education Division at 1-800-577-2276 or locally at 740-354-6527. Our lending library is full of fun activities for children of all ages. ECE is a division of COAD – the Corporation for Ohio Appalachian Development (www.coadinc.org).
The Mt Orab Truth Seekers 4H Club held its meeting on Thursday May 19. The meeting was called to order by V-P Abigail Dewitt. The pledge was led by AnniLise Meyer and the 4-H pledge was lead by Abigail Dewitt. For our roll call we stated our favorite fair food. Officer reports were given by our secretary, treasurer, inspiration, energy and conservation officers. We discussed a cook-out at East Fork and tag ins for our animal projects. Our club shirts arrived and were passed out. Three demonstrations were given by Abigail Dewitt on table setting, label reading and alcohol decisions. The meeting was adjourned by Zach Meyer and that motion was second by AnniLise Meyer. Snacks were provided by the Kelley family and recreation was provided by recreation officer Micah Combs. We participated in a game of Monster. For the game one person stands in the middle then the rest of the group is on one side. The participants run to the other side trying to avoid the monster in the middle. If you are tagged you join his force, frozen for the first round. The last one that is left is the new monster.
