Hospital sale could happen this week BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press

The Brown County Press/WAYNE GATES

Final approval of the sale of Brown County General Hospital to Southwest Healthcare, LLC could be complete as early as this week.

The deal to sell Brown County General Hospital could come this week. Another draft of the Asset Purchase Agreement was released to Southwest Healthcare, the Brown County Hospital Board of Trustees and the Brown County Commissioners on May 3. Hospital board Chairman Eric Sontag said May 5 that “some minor changes” needed

to be made to the agreement before it was ready to sign. That same day, Brown County Prosecuting Attorney Jessica Little said that “things appear to be progressing toward a successful conclusion.” One last hurdle to overcome in the deal was the issue of state law requiring compensating employees for unused vacation time if they move from public to private employment status. That would be the case once Southwest Healthcare becomes

the new owner. Paying the approximately 320 employees would cost between $600 to $800 thousand dollars. That figure is a sticking point in the negotiations. To get around the problem, the hospital board and county commissioners have asked State Senate President Tom Niehaus for help in changing the law. The proposed change would allow the employees to “roll CONTINUED ON PAGE 11

Orab Village Council passed an emergency ordinance on Tuesday, May 3, to place a new one and one-half (1.5) mill levy and a four (4) mill replacement levy for the Mt. Orab Police Department on the November 8, 2011 ballot.

The four mill levy raises approximately $160,000 for the police department annually. Mount Orab Mayor Bruce Lunsford said the the new 1.5 mill levy would bring in approximately sixty thousand dollars. A request for the new revenue was discussed by Chief of Police Bryan Mount at a March

Guard Rail removal halted after meeting BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press The Ohio Department of Transportation has halted removal of the guardrails that separate the north and southbound lands of Highway 62/68.

Ripley on May 2. In a telephone interview, Bubp said a large crowd was united in their opposition to the guardrails continuing to be removed. One mile of the guardrail has already been taken out as part of a 5.4 million dollar resurfacing project. The total project is for about 5.5 miles of road. Wilson explained that the existing guardrail does not meet the Federal Highway Administration or ODOT’s current design standards, and replacing it would present other challenges as there is not sufficient lane width to build new guardrail according to the state and federal guidelines. Wilson said that given the concerns of the local community, ODOT is now considering a modification to the project, and currently our staff is reviewing all options. Bubp was more direct. “If we remove that guardrail, people will die”, he said. Bubp said he was grateful that Wilson took the time to address the concerns of area residents and that he was hopeful the situation could be resolved to their satisfaction. Although a section of the rail CONTINUED ON PAGE 11

council meeting. The additional funds from the 1.5 mill levy were deemed necessary by Mount to provide and maintain motor vehicles, communications and other equipment, buildings and sites for buildings and for the direct operation of the police department or payment of salaries of permanent police personnel, including the payment of police officers employers’ contribution required by the ORC. Council voted unanimously to adopt both ordinances after suspending the three reading rule and passing them as an emergency. In other actions taken by the council during the May 3 meeting, council members voted to officially vacate an alley which runs from East Main Street to Hickory Alley, bordered on the west by property owners Robert and Linda Cantrell and on the east by property owner Peggy Kiser. “Yet another business will begin construction at the corner of Main Street and High Street in the village,” said Mt. Orab Mayor Bruce Lunsford. “The reason we decided to close that alley is to allow more space for the new business so that he would have adequate parking space. “We are excited about the new business which will be very similar to the One-Stop in Peebles. It will be much larger than most convenience stores and it will have a small meat section and produce section. It will be nice to have a business like that on this end of town.” Lunsford said construction should begin on the project in about three months. In other business the newly built Apple Street in Mt. Orab was officially dedicated by CONTINUED ON PAGE 11

15th Annual U.S. Grant Celebration deemed huge success, weather perfect, attendance up By Martha Jacob The Brown County Press The weather took a change for the better for visitors at Saturday’s 15th Annual U.S. Grant Celebration held in Georgetown, last week. Georgetown is where Ulysses S. Grant, commander of the Union Armies during the Civil War, lived and grew up. In Georgetown one can visit his original home where he lived with his parents and five brothers and sisters as well as the school he attended from

1829 to 1836. The Grant sites are owned by the state of Ohio and operated by the Ohio Historical Society in partnership with the U.S. Grant Homestead Association and other local volunteers. The event included a presentation of ‘The 70th Ohio Volunteer Infantry in Story and Song’ with Ned Lodwick and Deanne Kelley on Thursday evening and then a presentation of ‘War Clouds’ on Friday night. During the Saturday celebration visitors could visit a large

array of events including: • a grand ball • a history walk of the area • pony rides • Call to Arms with the 35th and 70th OVI • dulcimer music • cavalry demonstrations • suffrage rally • women suffrage • infantry drills • village band concert • carriage rides • ladies tea, and much more There was something for everyone interested in the history of the Civil War.

According to Homestead Association member Nancy Purdy, the 2011 celebration was well attended and deemed a huge success. “It was great,” Purdy said, “It turned out to be a beautiful day and it was well attended. We couldn’t be happier. I was especially pleased with the ‘Ladies Tea’ and fashion show. We had 10 models which included three younger girls and one gentlemen. More than 120 people attended the tea.” Purdy said the women’s sufCONTINUED ON PAGE 11

We understand from ODOT that we will need to make it movable, because of possible future changes to that area in about three years. We are also looking into planting roses on Apple Street, across from Butterbee’s Restaurant.” Caudell said the club members share a vast array of knowledge on other things such as butterfly gardens and how to attract birds, especially hummingbirds. The group took the opportunity during its plant sale to plant some perennials in the flower bed at the Mt. Orab administrative and police office in Mt. Orab. “The bed is usually maintained by the Mt. Orab Fire Department but since the firefighters involvement with the new fire house, the Garden Club decided to take it over as part of the Mt. Orab Beautification Project,” added Jean Caudell. “We don’t claim to be experts, but through the years we have learned a lot and would love to share what we’ve learned. We would like to invite anyone from the community to become part of the Garden Club and enjoy great fellowship and learn more than you ever imagined about plants and landscaping.” To learn more about the Garden Club in Mt.

rented premises to pay all utility bills in their name. Bradley, a landlord in the village, told council that the way utilities costs have gone up it makes a real hardship on landlords when tenants move out and leave unpaid bills. “These people sign up for these utilities, and they are in their name,” Bradley stated. “Is there anything council can do to force these people to be responsible? I keep getting stuck with paying these bills, just so I can keep the utilities on. Couldn’t these people be charged with theft of utilities?” Jay Cutrell, solicitor for the village, told Bradley that it was an unfortunate situation for landlords and always has been but council could not be responsible for collecting past due bills. Jones added that the utilities department always tries for at least three months to collect past due accounts, but sometimes the tenants move to another area. Jones said that if they do ever move back into the village they are charged double for their deposit. Georgetown Police Chief

Work on a life-size granite statue of Ulysses S. Grant is progressing well and beginning to take shape according to Georgetown Village Administrator, Kelly Jones. The statue should be finished later this year or early next year. “Georgetown Marble and Granite Company is doing a great job on the statue,” Jones told council. “It’s really beginning to look like Grant.” When completed the life-size statue will stand in the park in the center of town. In other business at the April 28 meeting, according to Jones the $250,000 ARC Grant application for the village will be submitted by June and the project is ranked first in its category. “At the recent OVRDC (Ohio Valley Regional Developmental Council), Brown County Caucus which was held April 18,” Jones began, “Our waste water treatment plant project is at the top of the list and should move forward and do well.” The village also received two bids for a new Compact Track Loader (skid steer) for the utilities department. The first bid was for $51,000 from Cahall Brothers for a John Deere unit and the other bid was for $50,441 from Bobcat. Following a brief discussion on the bids, council voted to accept the bid from Cahall Brothers because of the convenience of its location for service maintenance. “Since Cahall is right in our own back yard,” Jones advised, “It just makes since to purchase the loader from them.” Council voted unanimously to accept the Cahall bid. Land and Use Committee chair Dennis White told council that his committee had met on

Forrest Coburn reported to council that his department has begun going around the village talking to people about cleaning up their yards. “All the rain has caused some problems with mowing, of course,” Chief Coburn said, “but even though there aren’t as many issues this year as usual, we still have a few places that may cause us some problems. “We are trying to enforce the ordinance and have only had one serious problem with a local property owner who says his yard clean-up is a work in progress. But he continues to bring things into his yard, so now we’ve given him a deadline.” Chief Coburn also said that he continues to receive complaints from the owners of the Pamida/IGA complex about the vendors who set up in the parking lot. He said he has given some of the vendors a warning and has also began checking for vendors licenses and/or yard sale permits. “We already have an issue with several local residents having continuous yard sales,” added Chief Coburn. “Yard sale permits allow for three days, and are limited to every 30 days. We’ve also recommended to the land owner of the complex to put signs throughout the parking lot.” Council discussed an issue with a higher than usual electric bill at the Delaney Chapel in Georgetown. “We’ve checked the meter, and replaced it,” Jones said. “We couldn’t find anything wrong with it but we’re going to monitor it pretty close now.” The preacher at the church told Jones that his electric bill for the month of December, 2010 was $323 and for the month of January 2011, it was $643. He said he shuts the electricity off at the pole when the building is not in use, and could not understand why it was so high. Following a brief discussion, council voted to average the past few years bill for those two months and ask the owner to pay that amount and forgive the rest. Council also discussed all the

We can stop the prescription drug abuse epidemic In recent years, more Ohioans have died of accidental prescription drug overdoses than auto accidents. As the national death toll doubled, deaths from prescription drug overdoses tripled in Ohio. Even more troubling, Ohio teenagers are misusing prescription drugs at alarming rates. A University of Akron Institute for Health and Social Policy study of prescription drug abuse among adolescent arrestees in Ohio suggests a correlation between prescription drug misuse and juvenile detention. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, nearly 2 million young people between ages 12 and 17 abused prescription drugs in 2008. Each day, some 2,500 young adults use prescription drugs that have not been prescribed to them – embarking on a journey toward addiction. Prescription drug abuse in Ohio needs to be treated like the epidemic it is – requiring partnerships on the local, state, and federal level. But you don’t have to be a medical doctor or law enforcement official to help. Individual Ohioans can help solve this problem. That’s why I urge Ohioans to participate in the Nationwide Prescription Drug Take-Back Day. On April 30th, communities throughout Ohio and across the United States will host free, anonymous drop off sites. Individuals may drop off solid prescription medications for proper disposal at nearly

SHERROD BROWN 200 locations in Ohio. For a list of locations, please visit my website at www.brown.senate.gov. Too many addicts can get prescription drugs from the family medicine cabinet or from friends who no longer use the medicine they were prescribed. Prescription pain medications, such as Oxycodone, morphine, and methadone – which are largely responsible for increasing numbers of overdoses and deaths in Ohio – can be disposed of safely. That’s why I’ve cosponsored legislation to ensure safe prescription drug disposal. The Secure and Responsible Drug Disposal Act that I introduced would reduce the likelihood of prescription pills ending up in the wrong hands or in the environment. This bill would allow consumers and patients to give controlled substances to designated officials – such as law enforcement or pharmacists – for safe disposal. It would also allow caregivers and long-term care facilities to deliver unused drugs for safe disposal by expanding existing drug takeback programs. Right now, according to the Drug Enforcement Agency, there are no legal means to

transfer some of the most commonly misused prescription drugs for disposal. This national take-back effort addresses this problem. And, for many Ohio communities, this event can truly save lives. Ohio’s death rate due to unintentional drug poisoning increased more than 350 percent from 1999 to 2008. Oxycodone and other opioids caused more overdoses in Ohio in 2008 than heroin and cocaine combined. According to the Ohio Prescription Drug Abuse Task Force, the annual costs of unintentional drug overdose in Ohio reached $3.5 billion in so-called fatal costs (which include medical, work loss, and quality-of-life loss) and $31.9 million in non-fatal, hospital admitted costs. In addition to take-back efforts, here are several ways we can combat this costly and deadly problem: First, I’ve proposed that the State of Ohio establish a Medicaid “Lock-In” program, which would crack down on the illegal use of Medicaid cards to obtain and fill prescriptions for addictive pain medications. This program would prevent prescription drug abusers from acquiring excess prescription drugs – which they may abuse or illegally re-sell – by barring them from visiting multiple doctors and pharmacies. Next, we can also continue Prescription Drug Monitoring Programs and crack down on illegal

transfers from other states. So-called ‘pill mills’ – where prescription drugs are dispensed for non-medical reasons – should be shut down. That’s why I am urging the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency to redouble its efforts to shutter ‘pill mills’ and increase federal enforcement. It is imperative that we ease the outsized burden on state and local budgets to solve this national problem. That’s why I’ve also reached out to U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder urging him to establish two Ohio-based tactical diversion squads to help the state crack down on ‘pill mills’. We need to know how drugs are obtained illegally and work comprehensively to cut off the source. We cannot afford to let improper disposal, pharmacy-shopping, and doctor-hopping threaten the safety of Ohio families. Parents who will never see their child graduate from high school because an unintentional overdose cut a young life short are left wondering why addictive pain killers are so easy to obtain. Cashstrapped local communities too often see first responders and emergency room resources diverted to address the affects of illegal prescription drug abuse. Together, on April 30th and throughout the year, we can move forward and create safer communities by addressing the concerns of Ohioans who are eager to end prescription drug abuse – and save lives.

Letters to the Editor

Brown County Hospital celebrates Nurses Week Dear Editor, In 1953, Dorothy Sutherland of the U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare sent a proposal to President Dwight D. Eisenhower asking him to proclaim a “Nurse Day” to recognize the contributions that nurses make to healthcare. The day was originally to coincide with the 100th

anniversary in October 1954 of Florence Nightingale’s service in the Crimea. International recognition started in 1974 with the initiation of “International Nurse’s Day” to be celebrated on May 12th, the birthday of Florence Nightingale, founder of nursing as a modern profession. In 1982, May 6 was officially designated as

the national recognition day for nurses. This day of observance was expanded to a week in 1990 by the American Nurse’s Association to incorporate both the national and international celebrations.

Your contributions to this years chapter FFA fruit sales helped raise over eleven thousand dollars for the FFA chapter and 711 dollars for Ohio FFA.

honored with various special events such as a Nurse’s Day Breakfast, chances to win raffle items donated by area merchants and vendors, and a video showcasing BCGH nurses. We will be bringing the week to a close on Thursday, May 12 with a hospital wide cake and punch reception during lunchtime in honor of Florence Nightingale’s birthday. Traditionally, the week is devoted to highlighting the many ways in which nurses, the largest health care profession, are working to improve health care. At Brown County General Hospital, our nurses participate in several healthcare initiatives involving patient safety and quality assurance. Most recently, we have instituted patient rounding and are beginning follow up calls to patients who have been discharged from our facility. From bedside nursing in hospitals to research institutions, state legislatures, and congress, the nursing profession is meeting and expanding the health care needs of American society. Nurse’s Week is a yearly nationwide celebration of these important accomplishments. Karen Otto

JIM HOLDEN to being a successful investor is choosing the mix of investments — such as stocks, bonds and government securities — that are appropriate for your risk tolerance and time horizon. A professional financial advisor can help you create a suitable asset allocation for your 401(k), IRA or other investment accounts. Most 529 plans also offer an asset allocation strategy, typically based on the age of the child or the number of years until college enrollment. For example, if your child is younger, your plan might start off with a higher percentage of aggressive investments in order to maximize your growth potential. As your child gets closer to college, the plan may take a more conservative approach to help reduce the effects of volatility before you start tapping into the plan. Clearly, a 529 plan has much in common with popular investment vehicles, but it has other characteristics of which you’ll want to be aware. For one thing, the financial aid impact: Assets in a 529 plan are considered an asset of the account owner, usually the parent. Federal financial aid formulas generally expect parents to use a smaller percentage of their assets for college funding. Consequently, you’ll want to explore all aspects of any 529 plan, possibly in consultation with your financial and tax advisors, before taking action. But don’t wait too long — your children will move from day care to dormitories in what seems like a blink of an eye. This article was written by Edward Jones for use by your local Edward Jones Financial Advisor.

What Do You Think? Do you feel safer, now that Osama bin Laden is dead?

No, I don't feel any safer, because I believe he probably has it set up for someone else to take his place. Thelma Kelley, Mt. Orab

I don't feel any different one way or the other. There will be someone out there to take his place. Nicole Gardner, Mt. Orab

Yes, I do feel a little safer. He was the leader of a terrorist group, and now he's dead. Glenda Bartley, Mt. Orab

No, I don't, because I think there are a lot of other terrorist still out there. Marc Wells, Hammersville

If you have young children, the end of another school year means you are now one year closer to the day when you send them to college — and one year closer to dealing with the high costs of higher education. However, you still have time to save and invest — and one of the best investment choices you can make is a Section 529 college savings plan. In fact, a 529 plan contains, in just one account, some of the key advantages found in other attractive investment vehicles, such as a 401(k) or IRA. Consider the following: • Tax-advantaged earnings — Roth IRA earnings accumulate tax free and are distributed tax free, provided the account is at least five years old and the account owner doesn’t start taking withdrawals until at least age 59?. Similarly, a 529 plan’s earnings accumulate tax free and are distributed tax free, provided they are used for qualified higher education expenses. (Keep in mind, though, that 529 plan distributions not used for qualified expenses may be subject to federal and state income tax and a 10% penalty.) Furthermore, your 529 plan contributions may be deductible from your state taxes. However, 529 plans vary, so be sure to check with your tax advisor. • High contribution limits — For 2010, you can put up to $16,500 into a 401(k) plan, or $22,000 if you’re 50 or older. If you have an IRA, you can contribute up to $5,000 in 2010, or $6,000 if you’re 50 or older. The lifetime contribution limits for 529 plans may be more generous. While the limits vary by state, many plans allow contributions in excess of $200,000, according to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Contributions to 529 plans are considered gifts; therefore, the $ 13,000 gift limit should be considered. • Asset allocation — One key

Want to help drive a cancer patient to their treatment? Too often cancer patients need a ride to treatment, but many have no way to get there. This is why the American Cancer Society is working to establish a Road to Recovery Program in Adams and Brown Counties. The American Cancer Society Road to Recovery program provides transportation to and from treatment for people who have cancer who do not have a ride or are unable to drive themselves. Volunteer drivers donate their time and the use of their cars so that patients can receive the lifesaving treatments they need. They also provide encouragement and support. To become a volunteer driver for the Road to Recovery Program, you must: • Own a safe and reliable vehicle. • Have a current, valid driver’s license.

• Have proof of adequate automobile insurance. • Have a good driving record. The American Cancer Society combines an unyielding passion with nearly a century of experience to save lives and end suffering from cancer. We save lives by helping people stay well by preventing cancer or detecting it early; helping people get well by being there for them during and after a cancer diagnosis; by finding cures through investment in groundbreaking discovery; and by fighting back by rallying lawmakers to pass laws to defeat cancer and by rallying communities worldwide to join the fight. For information about Road to Recovery or about cancer, call toll-free anytime 1-800-2272345 or visit the American Cancer Society Web site at www.cancer.org.

HE TOUCHED ME In Mark chapter 5 we have a wonderful story of a woman with faith. She had spent all her money on doctors and still she was not well. In fact, she had grown worse. Then came Jesus. Verses 27-28 tells us: “When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment. For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole.” There is something special about this word touch. It usually is associated with something which is alluring, whether it be for the good or for the bad. The first time the word touch is used in the Bible is in Genesis when Eve told the serpent: “...God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.” Of course, we know that God had not added the touch part. Either she or Adam had added to God’s word. They knew that to touch the tree would bring them too close to something which was not theirs to have. On the other hand, you take a woman who cannot resist touching her newborn baby. That is a loving touch. In I Samuel 10:26 it says: “And Saul also went home to Gibeah; and there went with him a band of men, whose hearts God had touched.” In Job 5:19 it states: “He shall deliver thee in six troubles: yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee.” In Mark 10:13 people were bringing their children to Jesus: “And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them...” The word touch is a powerful word. Now considering how powerful a touch can be, let’s go back to Mark 5, starting in verse 21: “And when Jesus was passed over again by ship unto the other side, much people gathered unto him: and he was nigh unto the sea. And, behold, there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name; and when he saw him, he fell at his feet, And besought him greatly, saying, My little daughter lieth at the point of death: I pray thee, come and lay thy hands on her, that she may be healed; and she shall live.” He told Jesus: just touch my daughter and she shall live. Verse 42 tells us: And straightway the damsel arose, and walked...” However, on the way to Jairus’ house something else took place. Verses 24-26: “And Jesus went with him; and much people followed him, and thronged him. And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years, and had suffered many things of

DR. CHARLES SMITH MT. ORAB BIBLE BAPTIST CHURCH www.bbcmtorab.com many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing better, but rather grew worse,” I do not know how old this woman was but she had been sick for twelve long years. Now she was even worse, maybe even very weak. And this crowd of people was jam-packed around Jesus; the Bible says: “thronged him”. How determined she must have been to even consider trying to get close enough to touch His garments. Verse 28: “For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole.” Can you picture this scene? Can you picture this woman, perhaps with her hand shaking, straining and reaching with all that she had left in her, just to touch the hem of His garment. Verse 29: “And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.” Verse 30: “And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, who touched me?” The disciples, knowing that people were crowding in on Him on all sides, wondered what kind of question was that. But ladies and gentlemen, it was a touch of faith. The Bible tells us that without faith it is impossible to please God. It is not enough to have the knowledge of God in your head; you must believe with your heart. Romans 10:10: “For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” Verse 33 of Mark 5 tells us that the woman fell down before Christ and told him all the truth. If you are not saved you also need to fall down before God. If you will ask Him to forgive your sins, He will forgive your sins, and save your soul. Your physical body is only temporary, but your soul is eternal. Won’t you reach out to touch Jesus and live? He is waiting for you.

The Automotive Technology program at Southern Hills Career Technical Center in Georgetown, Ohio has received accreditation by NATEF and The National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE). To achieve this coveted recognition, the school’s automotive training program underwent rigorous evaluation by the National Automotive Technicians Education Foundation (NATEF). Nationally accepted standards of excellence in areas such as instruction, facilities, and equipment were used. “This is great news for automotive-minded young people and their parents,” said Donald Seyfer, NATEF Chair. “Because this program increases cooperation between local education and industry leaders, it gives added assurance that the Southern Hills graduates will be employable entry-level technicians. As a result of the quality education provided by Southern Hills CTC the motoring public will benefit since better repair technicians will join the work force.” Upon completion of the evaluation, NATEF recommended that Southern Hills Career Technical Center be accredited by The National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE). ASE is a national non-profit organization which tests and certifies repair technicians, in addition to accrediting automotive training programs. Mark Davis, Automotive Instructor, added, “During the past few months, we have worked closely with NATEF to make certain that our program would meet strict industry standards, and now we are delighted to join the ranks of the ASE accredited training programs. Students will be assured of a quality education, and shop owners will be assured of getting quality job applicants.” 2010-2011 junior class in lab with Mr. Mark Davis, Instructor.

Lady Broncos continue to improve By Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press

victory. The Lady Broncos continued their improved play against St. Ursula on Saturday morning. Playing most of the game ahead, the Lady Broncos gave up four runs in the bottom of the sixth inning and St. Ursula took a 5-3 lead going into the final inning. In the top of the seventh inning, the Lady Broncos pushed across a run to make it 5-4 and had the bases loaded. However, they weren’t able to

push across another run and ended the game with the bases still loaded. Though the Lady Broncos had taken two losses, Wallace said he thought it would be good for his team to play the way they did against teams of the quality of West Carrollton and St. Ursula. “We have our tournament and we have good teams for a reason,” he said. “We want to play good teams. It’s how you get better. The first two teams will get us ready for the tournament. That’s what we’re going to see. That’s why we play those teams.” After grinding through the tough games with West Carrollton and St. Ursula, the Lady Broncos breezed through their game against Anderson. The offense got going in the top of the second inning and by the time the barrage had ended after the top of the third, 21 runs had crossed the plate. Every Lady Bronco who played reached base at least once in each of the second and third innings, and nine of the ten Lady Broncos who had at bats got at least one hit. And the one batter who didn’t get a hit drew two walks. Not only was it a strong offensive performance for the team, it was a record setting day for one particular Lady Bronco. Outfielder Taylor Patten tied a state record by hitting two home runs and driving in seven runs in one inning. She accomplished the feat as the Lady Broncos scored 14 runs in the second inning. “She is a great kid,” Wallace said. “The last four or five days she has hit the heck out of the ball. She has improved tremendously.” As the Lady Broncos head

toward sectional play, not only are the they playing the best they have this season but they now have a couple of things on their side. The addition of Kelly back into the lineup is a big help as the Lady Broncos offense begins to get back on track. Wallace said the senior catcher is a big difference in the middle of the Lady Broncos order, as it was over the weekend as their offense began to come alive during each of their three games. Not only does the senior’s return to a young team help but so will playing a familiar opponent as it heads into tour-

nament time. That will be the case as the Lady Broncos will open sectional play May 9 against the same St. Ursula team at Riverside Park in Newtown. Playing a little over a week after losing a hard fought game to them, Wallace said the familiarity should help his team know they can compete with them. “Confidence wise it should help us,” he said. “Especially with us having so many young kids, it will help having the confidence to beat them.” The sectional game will begin at 5:00 pm.

Eastern baseball thwarted by Fairfield, wet weather By Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press

CMYK

It seemed as if last Thursday night might turn out to be a pretty nice night. The sun was out and rain seemingly was nowhere to be found. The same could have been said for how the Eastern baseball team’s home game against Fairfield was going. The Warriors were cruising

right along towards a victory until, just like the swift rainstorm that halted play early, a quick three run sixth inning strike by Fairfield propelled the visitors to a rain-shortened 4-3 victory. “Unfortunately we’ve had three or four games this year where it’s went like that,” Eastern coach Dave Mignery said, “where we’ve just had a bad inning and things kind of

get away from us a little bit.” Much like the weather, the afternoon started off nice for the Warriors. They jumped out to a quick lead after pitcher Daniel Faul doubled to right field and drove in Kenny Ostrander to give the Warriors an early 1-0 lead. Fairfield answered with a run of their own in the top of the second inning. Kyle Carson doubled to lead off the inning and was sacrifice bunted to third base. Casey Jordan got him home with a sacrifice fly to center field to tie the score at one. After that Faul was able to keep the Lions at bay until the sixth inning. He pitched 5 1/3 innings while giving up three hits and struck out two, walked four and hit two batters. His counterpart, Lions left handed pitcher Tyler Campbell, was just as solid. He mixed in a curveball with his fastball and kept the Warriors hitters off balance to the tune of 10 strikeouts. However, the Warriors were able to put together a rally in the bottom of the fourth inning to take back the lead. Faul lead off the inning with a double. John York reached base on an error by the shortstop, which allowed Faul to go to third. Campbell bounced back and looked to be taking back control after striking out the next two Warrior hitters. However, CJ Knight came through for the Warriors with a bloop hit to center field that scored Faul and pinch runner Josh Boudreau, who had stolen second base. That pushed the

Warriors out in front, 3-1. “Tyler did a good job keeping them off balance tonight,” Mignery said. “He did a good job mixing in that curveball. He’s a good pitcher, and he showed it tonight. But we did have a couple, three big hits to get us some runs.” Heading into the sixth inning, it looked as if Faul was going to be able to take advantage of being fresh due to the lack of games played because of inclement weather. Then the Lion’s bats came alive. Fairfield’s rally had a bit of a hiccup to start when Faul got Carson to pop out in foul territory to start the inning. Then things started going downhill. After walking a batter, Faul gave up a single to Jordan. The hit was Faul’s last pitch of the night. He gave way to his left handed teammate Derek Souder, who was summoned

to face Campbell. Both runners were able to move up during Campbell’s at bat on an errant pick off throw by Warriors catcher Austin Williams that got past the second baseman. Campbell got both runners in with a double to right center field that tied the game at three. The next hitter, Joey Wilson, put the Lions up on top for the first time in the game with a single up the middle that scored Campbell and pushed the Lions ahead 4-3. After walking the next two batters to load the bases, Souder was replaced by John York. He got the final two outs of the inning to preserve the the one run deficit. “(Faul) had actually went a little too far,” Mignery said. “I let him throw a little too many pitches but he had, for the most part, been cruising pretty good. I probably let him go a

little longer than I should have.” As the Warriors went down in order in the bottom of the sixth inning, it became apparent rain was quickly approaching. One batter into the top of the seventh inning, it got there. A quick but strong rainstorm burst through the area in about ten minutes, leaving the field very wet. Though the sun was again starting to shine through the clouds, umpires decided to call the game. The decision wasn’t a popular one with the Warriors, who hadn’t played a game in a week. “It’s very disappointing,” Mignery said. “It’s really disappointing now when you look out there and probably in 15 or 20 minutes we could be playing again.” The loss dropped the Warriors to 6-4 on the season.

Though the record book will show the Western Brown softball team only won one of three games last weekend at the Western Brown Invitational, it was a productive weekend. The Lady Broncos played well despite losing to a good West Carrollton team 8-3 on Friday night and 5-4 to a solid St. Ursula team on Saturday morning. And the Lady Broncos hard work came to fruition on Saturday afternoon when they tasted victory for the first time in the weekend by pummelling Anderson 21-2 in a game stopped after four innings at the Reservoir Park. “I told the kids that’s a big improvement over what we’ve done,” Lady Broncos coach Blaine Wallace said. “Even though we lost two out of three, that’s the best we’ve played all year.” On Friday night, the Lady Broncos jumped out to an early lead against West Carrollton and its star pitcher Sara Marrs. Playing just her second game of the season after returning from a partial knee ligament tear, Lady Broncos senior Miranda Kelly hit the ball on a rope down the right field line for a home run to help them jump out to an early 1-0 lead. After Marrs and her teammates rallied to score two runs in the bottom of the third inning (West Carrollton was the home team), Kelly once again came through with a run scoring single to tie the game at two in the top of the fourth inning. However, the Lady Broncos weren’t able to muster much offense after that thanks to the

pitching of Marrs. The pitcher limited the Lady Broncos to four hits and three runs over her seven innings. She struck out 12 batters, including the final three batters of the game. Marrs also used her bat to help put away the Lady Broncos. She hit a long home run to left field that hit the equipment shed at Reservoir Park in West Carrollton’s three run fifth inning that pushed the their lead to 8-2 on their way to a

By Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press Though the first 14 games of the season didn’t yield a win for the Georgetown softball team, they didn’t quit fighting. And game number 15 turned out to be the reward for their fighting spirit. Refusing to give in to the visiting Whiteoak Lady Wildcats, the Lady G-Men held on to earn their first victory of the season with an 8-7 victory on Wednesday afternoon. “Everybody contributed in some aspect,” Lady G-Men coach Kathy Chadwell said. “We continued to the hit the ball tonight. Earlier in the season we’d hit the ball early but then they’d catch us or go ahead, and we wouldn’t come back and answer that. Tonight, (we did).” From the start the Lady GMen found themselves in a hole they would have to dig out from. The first two Lady Wildcat batters singled off Georgetown starting pitcher Allison Smith. After getting an out, Smith gave up a double to Whiteoak’s Brittini VanZandt. One run scored on the hit and another scored as the throw back in from the outfield got away from the Lady G-Men. VanZandt then scored on a passed ball to give the Lady

Wildcats an early 3-0 lead. The Lady G-Men were tested early and they passed with flying colors in the bottom of the first. Taylor Linkous led off with a walk, and Megan King followed with a single to left field. After Kaelyn Jordan reached on a fielder’s choice, the bases were loaded. Cleanup hitter Whitney Kistler came through. She singled down the first base line to score Linkous and King. The next batter, Allison Kistler, grounded out to shortstop but it got Jordan home to score the tying run. Meranda Sullivan got Whitney Kistler in with a single to right field, and after one inning the Lady G-Men had a 4-3 lead. Smith then started to get on a bit of a roll until the top of the fourth. After walking two batters, with a single in between, the Lady Wildcats had the bases loaded with no outs and were prepared to take the lead. Kari Fannin walked to force in the tying run, keeping the bases loaded with no one out. Then Smith, with the help of the Lady G-Men defense, buckled down. She got Shyanna Wagner to bounce to first baseman Allison Kistler, who threw home to get the force out at the plate for the first out.

Juanita Nichols then grounded to shortstop Linkous, who again threw home for the force out. Smith got Haley Bingamon to pop out to second base for the final out and kept the game tied at four. In the bottom of the fourth, the Lady G-Men took the lead right back. Jessica Ayers led off the inning with a double to left center field. After moving up to third base on a steal, Ayers scored on a passed ball to give the Lady G-Men a 5-4 lead. They added to their lead in the fifth. Jordan lead off the inning with a single. After a strikeout, Allison Kistler reached on an infield single off the pitcher’s glove. Sullivan came through again with a run scoring single to center field. Then Ayers replicated Sullivan with a run scoring single to center field of her own, pushing the Lady G-Men lead to 7-4 after five innings. Once again the Lady Wildcats fought back. Ashley Frazier walked to lead off the inning. After an a strikeout, Fannin walked. A pinch runner for Frazier broke to steal third base. Whitney Kistler’s throw went past Sullivan into left field and the run scored to make the score 7-5. One out later Nichols dou-

bled to left field, scoring Fannin and cutting the Lady G-Men lead to 7-6. They were able to get out of the inning on a ground out to Sullivan at third base. “We had a couple different times early, Whiteoak had base runners on early, where we able hold runners,” Chadwell said. “That was pretty big for us as well. In the fourth inning they had them loaded, and again in the sixth they had base runners on that weren’t able to score. We did a pretty good job on defense.” The Lady G-Men added an insurance run in the bottom of the sixth. King doubled to center field and went to third on a steal. Jordan hit a sacrifice fly to right field to score King and give the Lady G-Men an 8-6 lead heading to the top of the last inning. Smith started off well in the seventh. She got the first two batters to ground out back to her for two quick outs. Brittany Tolliver then singled with two outs. Frazier hit a ball to left field that glanced off Ayers glove and runners were at second and third base. Taryn Christy got one runner home with a single to center field. With the tying run standing at third base, Smith got Fannin to pop out to Allison Kistler to end the Lady G-Men’s losing

Broncos throw pair away at WB Invitational Baseball, more than most other sports, is a game where the smallest details of the game can sometimes be the difference between a win and a loss. Whether making a decision to cutoff a throw from the outfield or deciding whether the shortstop or second baseman need to cover the base on a steal attempt, the smallest details can turn around a game and give the other team all the momentum it needs to snatch a victory away. The Western Brown baseball team found out just how true that was last Saturday at their Western Brown Invitational at Gary Waits Stadium. Costly mistakes turned two winnable games against Wilmington and West Carrollton into two losses. “This year we haven’t been hitting that well but we’ve hung our hat on playing defense,” Broncos coach Jeff Herrmann said. “On Saturday we hit the ball better, but for some reason we weren’t fundamentally sound.” Wilmington jumped on the Broncos early in the first game on Saturday morning. The

Hurricanes got two run scoring singles off of Broncos starter Alex Smith to take a 2-0 lead. The Broncos answered with one run in the bottom of the first. Tyler Spitznagel led off with an infield single, moved up to third base on a steal and a passed ball and scored on Tory Bauer’s sacrifice fly. In the bottom of the next inning, the Broncos took the lead. Smith and Josh Luck both reached on errors by the Wilmington defense. One out later Spitznagel came through with another hit, this time a double to left center field that scored Smith and Luck. It gave the Broncos a 3-2 lead. It stayed that way until the fourth inning. Then some of those little details caught up with the Broncos. Smith hit the Hurricanes Kyle Miller to start the inning. As Smith was pitching to the next batter, he had Miller picked off. He threw to first baseman Dustin Kirker but his throw to second base was overthrown into left field and Miller was safe. Three batters later, Garrett Dell singled Miller home and the score was tied at three. Once again fundamentals

caught up with the Western Brown in the sixth inning. With two outs in the inning, the Hurricanes Nick Eden was on first base. Eden took off for second base on a steal attempt. Broncos catcher Mitch Hamblen threw to second but no one was there to take the throw as it flew into center field. Eden kept running and the throw from center field was off line. The run gave Wilmington the lead, and momentum, back. After Dell singled and Chad Roberts got him home with a double, Smith’s day was done and the Hurricanes had the lead at 5-3. The Hurricanes added an insurance run in the top of the seventh inning to push their lead to 6-3. The Broncos rallied in the bottom of the seventh. Bauer doubled and Jon Walker walked to lead off the inning. Ryan Shields got Bauer home with a groundout, and Kirker drove in Walker with a groundout. But Miller struck out Scotty Ryan to end the game, and preserve the Hurricanes 6-5 win. The loss ended a five game winning streak the Broncos had been on thanks in large part to

Rain disrupts finish of Western Brown Tennis Tourney

CMYK

By Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press The Western Brown tennis team served as host to the annual Western Brown Invitational last Saturday and Monday. Though the weather was nice on Saturday, rain returned on Monday and kept the singles and doubles title matches from finishing. The Broncos tennis team was in third place when play was stopped. Broncos number one singles player Mcree Kidwell made it to the semifinals before losing. Kidwell got to the semifinals by beating his teammate Chase Latham. Kidwell went 3-1 in the tournament and Latham went 2-1. Overall, Broncos tennis coach Tom Ball said playing in the tournament was good for his young team as it heads toward sectionals. “That’s the reason this thing was set up,” he said. “So we would know what to do and what circumstances would occur.” Rain may have stopped the tournament from being officially finished, but Amelia still was able to wrap up the team title before play was stopped. Amelia was far enough ahead, and had both players in

the singles title match, that it would have been impossible for any other team to catch up. The East Clinton doubles team was up on the doubles team from Felicity when played was stopped. Despite the weather, Ball

said the tournament had still been a success. “It was a good tournament, other than the rain and not getting to enjoy the sunshine as much,” he said. “The kids enjoyed themselves and enjoyed playing tennis, I think.”

playing fundamental baseball. Things only got worse on Saturday afternoon against West Carrollton. It started off well enough for the Broncos against the Pirates. Trailing 4-2 going into the top of the third inning, the Broncos went to work. Bauer got in a run with the first of his two sacrifice flies to start the scoring. Then, after a Walker walk, Shields hit a home run that just got over the left field fence. The homer gave the Broncos a 5-4 lead. And the Broncos began to play add on the next inning. Bauer hit his second sac fly in as many innings to push across the first run. Caden Piatt got another run in with a bloop hit to right field. Smith drove in two more with another bloop hit to right, and all of the sudden the Broncos had a 9-4 lead. Two more runs scored for the Broncos in the top of the fifth to push the lead to 11-4, and it began to look like they might run away with the victory. Then came the bottom of the fifth inning. Cruising along for the first four innings, Broncos starter Rich Burton ran into some trouble in the fifth. He gave up two singles to start the inning. Then he walked the next three batters. Two runs scored because of that and it was now an 11-6 game, and Burton’s day was done. Herrmann brought in Spitznagel to pitch, and he gave up a single to Alex Tincher with the bases loaded. All three runners ended up scoring because a couple of small details turned up huge. Runners were able to score because the cutoff man didn’t cut off the ball going to the plate, and then Broncos catcher Hiro Purdon threw to third base to get the last runner but no one was covering the bag and the ball caromed off the runners foot allowing him to score. After Ty Mullins reached on an error, Tincher scored on a single by Dean Maxwell. Mullins then scored on a double by Chaz Coy and all of the sudden it was an 11-11 game. The Pirates had scored seven

runs on just four hits. Spitznagel helped himself in the top of the sixth as he doubled to lead off the inning and came home on Ryan’s double. The Broncos were back on top by a score of 12-11. West Carrollton answered right back with a run of their own on a fielders choice in the bottom of the inning to tie the game at 12. Once again, the Broncos responded. Bauer led off with a single and came around to score on a sac fly by Shields. It gave the Broncos a 13-12 lead heading into the bottom of the last inning. Unfortunately for the Broncos, the Pirates responded once again. Nick Shultz led off with a double and Josh Woss followed with a single to center field. After a walk, Tincher came through again.

This time a single to left field scored both Shultz and Woss to give the Pirates a 14-13 win. The win ended a disappointing weekend for the Broncos. “It’s as bad of baseball as we have played all year,” Herrmann said. “One other game we had played that bad then we played like that twice in one day.” With such an experienced roster, Herrmann said he believes the team will be able to get past Saturday’s games and get back to the team that was rolling right along to a Southern Buckeye Conference championship. “I’m hoping they kind of see it and say ‘It was one bad day’ and put it behind us,” he said. “We still have the league championship in our sights. It’s our league to lose.” The Broncos will next play in the first round of the sectional. They will host Aiken on May 10.

Creature Feature Do cats get heartworm disease?

CMYK

E V E N

The answer is an unequivocal yes, but the feline situation is vastly different from the canine situation. While it is true that the feline infection is not as common as the canine infection, the feline infection has recently been found to be a much more widespread problem than previously believed. In the past, a common statistic was that within a given geographic area, the feline heartworm infection rate was approximately 10 percent of the canine infection rate. Recent research indicates this is not so; in heartworm endemic areas like here in Clermont county, the incidence of feline heartworm infection rivals or surpasses that of feline leukemia virus or feline immunodeficiency virus. An incidence of 15-20 percent of all cats has been reported for our area, making heartworm a concern for any cat living where there are mosquitoes. The Parasite and its Migration • The cat is not a natural host for the heartworm, which means the migrating larval heartworm is not likely to complete its life cycle. • Whereas a moderate heartworm infection in a dog would involve 25 to 50 adult heartworms, infected cats typically have less than six adult worms. Because the feline heart and blood vessels are so small, these few worms can wreak havoc. In a dog, six worms or fewer might not be considered worth treating. In a cat, a single worm could easily represent a lethal infection. • Whereas worms found in the canine heart can reach lengths up to 14 inches, the average length of worms found in feline hearts is only 5 to 8 inches long. • While an adult heartworm can expect to live 5 years in a dog, it will only live 2 to 3 years in a cat, probably due to the cat's strong immune reaction. Heartworm disease in cats is caused by the inflammatory reaction generated by the worm’s presence.

related than heart-failure related. Cats develop more of a lung disease, complete with respiratory distress, and chronic coughing or vomiting. Feline heartworm disease is often misdiagnosed as feline asthma. Sudden death may occur just as it may occur in infected dogs. Heartworm disease is primarily a lung disease in cats, not a heart disease. No single test is reliable for heartworm testing in the cat. The American Heartworm Society currently recommends using both an antigen test and an antibody test for screening apparently healthy cats. If a cat is sick and heartworm disease is suspected, both these tests are recommended, plus chest radiographs and/or echocardiography to assess heart and lung disease.

Since the major signs of disease in cats are due to inflammation and immune stimulation, a medication such as prednisone can be used to control symptoms. In general, if the cat does not appear sick, the American Heartworm Society recommends attempting to wait out the worm's 2 to 3 year life span and simply monitor chest radiographs every 6 months or so. The good news is that feline heartworm infection is 100 percent preventable and there are currently four products on the market that are reliably effective. Revolution® is a product that covers fleas, roundworms, hookworms, and ear mites in addition to preventing heartworm in cats. Uniquely, this product is applied topically rather than orally. The American Heartworm Society recommends monthly preventive for ALL CATS in heartworm endemic areas like Ohio. Dr. Dan Meakin is the owner of All Creatures Animal Hospital, 1894 Ohio Pike in Amelia.

So what is shingles? Shingles is a viral disease that is caused by the same virus that causes chickenpox; however- it normally appears as a rash or band of blisters and usually only affects one side of the body. Symptoms may include itching, tingling and pain. The pain it causes can vary from mild discomfort to severe agony. In severe cases the slightest touch or even a breeze can cause extreme suffering. Did you have chickenpox when you were younger? If so you are at risk for developing shingles. Since shingles is caused by the same virus that causes chickenpox one of the prerequisites for getting shingles is that - at some point in your life - you have to have had chickenpox. Once you’ve had chickenpox, the virus stays in your body, living in a dormant stage in your nerve cells. At some point, the virus can become active again. This is commonly due to things like stress, a compromised immune system, and finally the fact that age weakens our immune system. Chemotherapy and radiation for cancer can severely weaken the immune system, so shingles are a common problem for those undergoing cancer therapy. Is shingles contagious? No and yes. You can not catch shingles from someone that has shingles. However, the blisters on your skin contain live virus so you are contagious for chickenpox. Luckily we only get chickenpox once so someone with shingles is usually not a health risk to be around. Can anything help prevent shingles? First thing would be to not get chickenpox. Since this is unrealistic as most people had chickenpox at a very young age, the next alternative would be the Zostavax vaccine. Zostavax is recommended for anyone over the age of 50. Unfortunately because our immune system is

HEALTH MATTERS TOM CALLAHAN, RPH less effective as we get older the vaccine is not as effective as the ones we got in childhood. According to the FDA, Zostavax was effective about 50 percent of the time. Zostavax was most effective in people aged 60 to 69, where it was about 64 percent effective, and only about 20 percent effective in those over 80. People who were vaccinated but still came down with shingles reported pain for a shorter period of time. In other words the shingles don’t last as long as they would have without the vaccine. It’s only 50 percent effective? Why would I want to get another shot that may or may not work? The best reason is, as we age our chances of getting cancer increase, and if you found out you had cancer would your first thought really be “Oh, I better get that shingles vaccine?” Probably not. I would prefer going into chemotherapy with as many aces up my sleeve as possible. Since you wouldn’t be able to get the vaccine once you’ve started chemo and the chances of having a shingles outbreak go way up once your immune system is compromised by the chemo, I say get it now. I realize that’s not exactly the stock answer you’re used to hearing from the medical community, but I’d like better odds than 50-50 to recommend it simply for preventive medicine’s sake.
