Meranda family in NY plane crash BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press Seth and Tina Meranda and their two children are safe after a plane crash near Albany, NY. According to local media reports, the plane was attempting to land at Kline Kill airport near the city of Ghent, NY. A witness told local investigators that the plane touched down too far down the grass runway, tried to lift off again and struck a tree. Two people nearby reported helped the family out of the water. Alesha Crawford, Chief Deputy Clerk of Courts for Brown County, said she received a telephone call from Tina Meranda who said Seth was trying to land the plane to escape bad weather. Local media reports Seth was admitted to the Albany Medical Center complaining of back pain. Crawford said Tina had a broken collarbone. Nine year old Austin Meranda was reportedly admitted for observation. 12 year old Preston was not injured. Crawford said that Meranda sounded shaken on the telephone when discussing the accident.

Price sentenced to 2011 Sardinia Founder’s Day Festival canceled ten years in prison one of the best we’ve ever had,” Cassidy said. “But we ended the year still owing about $3,500 for the 2010 event. We’ve tried through the past year to get those funds paid off and generate more funding for this year’s 35th Festival. But times have been difficult for families and businesses in Sardinia.” Cassidy said that the cost of the festival runs around $15,000 with the fireworks display costing the most.

Due to the lack of funding, the annual Sardinia Founder’s Day Festival has been canceled by members of the Founders Day Committee. According to Celebration Committee Chairman Greg Cassidy, the event was also canceled in 2005 for the same reason. “Last year was a great year for our Founder’s Day Festival,

Dean Price has been sentenced to ten years in prison after pleading guilty to Rape, Intimidation of a Witness and Gross Sexual Imposition Charges. Price pleaded guilty to the charges on June 7 in Brown County Common Pleas Court. The charges stem from 2007, when Price raped one young victim and committed gross sexual imposition with another. The intimidation charge stems from a threat Price made to one of the victims that he would harm a family members of if the victim told on him. He was sentenced to six years on the rape charge, two years on the intimidation charge and two years on the GSI charge by Common Pleas Court Judge Scott Gusweiler. All sentences will run consecutively. Price will also be required to register as a Tier 3 sex offender and to report his address in person to his local sheriff’s office every 90 days for life.

Off-R-Rockers covers several genres, including classic rock, rock, country and a few 80’s songs. The group has top-notch professional equipment and years of musical experience. The group refers to its performance as a ‘good time and clean fun.’ The group will be performing songs like: • Waiting on the Bus/Jesus Just Left Chicago by ZZ Top • Are You Going My Way by Lenny Kravitz • Folsom Prison Blues by Johnny Cash • Long Hair Country Boy by Charlie Daniels • Wonderful Tonight, After Midnight and Cocaine by Eric Clapton • Main Street and Turn the Page by Bob Seger. “We are very excited about this group, “Off-R-Rockers”

At last months show we asked for residents to bring a canned good to donate to the local food pantry, and we’d like to do that again with this show. We gathered a lot of food that helps feed a lot of local families who are struggling”, he said. “We will also be having a ‘split-the-pot’, and the proceeds from it will go to a local young boy who has autism.

Kiss a goat, dress like Spongebob Squarepants, whatever it takes to get students to read more books By Martha Jacob The Brown County Press What could make an elementary school principal kiss a goat, walk around the school dressed like Spongebob Square Pant or spend the night on the roof of the school building? It’s called determination. Determination to get his students to read more books. At least that’s what Fayetteville-Perry Elementary School Principal, Greg Barlow did. He made a deal with his students again this year as part of the Accelerated Reader Program to get the kids to read more books. “At the beginning of the year,” Principal Barlow said, “I challenged all the students to read as many books as they could, and return, I would agree to do anything (within reason) that they challenged me to do. “I asked that the kids earn 16,000 points in the
Accelerated Reader Program, at the beginning of the school year. And the agreement was I would spend the night on top of the school building if they reached that goal.” Through the Accelerated Reader Program, books are designated with a point system, the harder the book is to read, or the more pages it has, the more points the child receives for reading the book. Barlow said that he was a little concerned at the progress at the middle of the school year. The students were barely half way to the 16,000 points. “I was beginning to think I was going to get off easy this year,” he said with a chuckle. “So I started challenging the kids every morning on the intercom trying to motivate them to read more.” In the past, Barlow challenged the kids and received positive feedback from parents. “The closer we got to the end of the school year,” added Barlow, “the more obsessed the kids got to read. Parents told me, they would pass up trips, or going out to eat and say, ‘I can’t dad, I got to read tonight, or Mr. Barlow won’t have to spend the night on the

So I knew there was no backing out.” Barlow added that it was better than kissing a goat. Barlow recently announced his retirement to the board of education. However, Barlow
has requested to be re-hired as principal of the school at a reduced salary. A public meeting has been scheduled for July 1, to hear from residents in the school district. According to Superintendent Roy Hill, it appears the board members are all in favor of the plan. “This is a retire/rehire situation,” Hill said. “Mr. Barlow has been good for the district, and I imagine the residents will feel the same way.”

Aberdeen Village Council makes plans for auction, changes in police department, hires engineer
FREE ESTIMATES DISCOUNT PRICES! (ALL MAKES & MODELS)
Members of the Village of Aberdeen Council met in a special emergency meeting last Tuesday, June7 to resolve several issues concerning the village. Council’s regular scheduled Monday night meeting had to be canceled because several members were unable to attend. The first issue discussed was the hiring of an engineer to oversee the work at the new waste water treatment plant in the village. “Because of the time that could elapse,” councilman Jerry Applegate stated, “Right now we’re looking as a tight schedule and we’ve been talking about this for about six months. So we need to go ahead and push this forward. The water rates have already been increased and these residents deserve the best that this village can give them. We need to speed up this process as quickly as possible.” Village Administrator, Emily Henderson, reported that she had met with Ed Kidston, consultant for Artesian of Pioneer, the firm handling the construction of the new plant and he had recommended Bell Engineering Limited of Bryan, Ohio. “I have handed out copies of an engineering evaluation contract with Bell Engineering,” Henderson said. “As far as this contract goes, it just goes through all the different tasks this engineer will be responsible for such as construction of buildings, the digging of the wells, permits and any other

construction. This is not at an additional cost for the village, it’s all included in the original Artisian bid of $1.9 million.” Henderson said that Kidston had recommended Bell Engineering which has a good reputation. Following a brief discussion, the four council members in attendance of the meeting, Applegate, Jay Castle, Robert Hutchison and Jason Phillips all voted yes to hire Bell Engineering. Council members Billie Eitel and Hugh Hall were not able to attend the meeting. Next on the agenda Aberdeen Chief of Police,
Clark Gast asked council to allow his department to go from weekly paychecks to biweekly paychecks. “I think people realize that due to the budget problems we are having to make some changes in our department,” Chief Gast began, “What we’re doing is taking our guys to 12hour shifts, and in order to make that work and keep from accumulating more overtime we’re switching to two-week pay periods. “Nathan, (Nathan Pfeffer, fiscal officer for the village) will work out all the details, but the way I see it this advantage in this is two-fold.
New principal for Mt. Orab Middle School hired by board, Paeltz replaces McDonough By Martha Jacob The Brown County Press After accepting the resignation of Dave McDonough, principal of Mt. Orab Elementary School, members of the Western Brown Local School District Board of Education immediately filled the position with Marty Paeltz, during a meeting held on Tuesday, May 7. Paeltz was the principal of the Mt. Orab Middle School and his position there was filled with the employment of Sabrina Armstrong. Armstrong was one of the top six applicants who applied for the job of superintendent of Western Brown Local Schools earlier this year. According to Eva Lanter, district administrative secretary, Armstrong has worked for the Western Brown School District in the past.
Sabrina Armstrong Principal Mt. Orab Middle School
“Ms. Armstrong was once a teacher at the Mt. Orab Middle School,” Lanter said in a phone interview. “She left and went to Felicity-Franklin School District three or four years ago. It will be nice to have her back.”
Prior to his resignation, McDonough was suspended without pay on May 2, this year, pending an investigation into allegations regarding his actions as a district employee. Armstrong taught 7th grade math at the Mt. Orab Middle School for seven years and also taught at Hamersville Local School for two years. “I live near Hamersville,” Armstrong said. “This move to Mt. Orab Middle School is like coming home for me. I always enjoyed working there and I’m looking forward to August for my first day. It’s sort of bitter-sweet though, leaving Felicity. I’ve worked with some wonderful staff members, teachers and the students. But Hamersville is my home community.” Armstrong has three children who attend school in Hamersville.
“Because we are a 24-hour police department, with 12 hour shifts we can eliminate one position which will save money. And with a two week pay period, our officers can work up to 86 hours in that period before we have to pay over-time. With a 40 hour week, we have to pay over-time at 41 hours.” Gast said the change could save the village as much as $1,500 a month, $18,000 a year. Aberdeen Police Officer Keith Rhinehart recently left the department for another job and the newly hired officer Jacob Goodwin will not be on the village insurance, which will also save the department money. Because the changes needed to take place as soon as possible, council had a first reading of a resolution at the meeting, then met early the next day and held a final reading after forgoing the three reading rule. The changes were all unanimously approved. The last issue to be discussed by the board was an upcoming auction of old or unused village property. Henderson passed out a copy of a list of items scheduled to be auctioned off around July 4. Items on the list included: • 2 bush hogs • 3 snowplows • 1 salt spreader • Chevrolet Truck • 1991 Ford ton dump truck • Grasshopper 620 • Grasshopper 618 • snow ex-salt box (fits hitch of a truck) To the list, Chief Gast added a Toyota Celica, which is currently tied up in the court system after being seized by the police. “We are in the process of changing the ownership to the department,” Gast said, “but it should all be ready by the first of July.”

After adding the Brown County Animal Shelter to facebook, the shelter has had great success in finding homes for their dogs currently living at the facility. “We have about 25 dogs at the shelter right now with the capacity to hold 32,” said James Massie, deputy dog warden. “It’s always nice when someone recognizes their own dog or someone else's and the dog finds their way back home.” Massie said dog owners across the county need to make sure their pets have plenty of fresh water during the hot days of summer. “The extreme heat and humidity is hard on pets,” he said. “and it’s also very important that dogs chained outside have plenty of shade, either from a dog house or a good shade tree. “Another thing that has been extremely hard on pets this year are the ticks. This has been a really bad year for ticks. We’ve noticed them in the dogs ears especially bad.” Massie said they recently picked up a dog and removed over 130 ticks from its body, especially located in the ear area. “Ticks aren’t just annoying to the dogs,” he continued. “They can be fatal in severe cases. They can carry lyme disease, they can cause anemia and in some cases, paralysis.” The animal shelter is located at 100 Veterans Blvd, next to the

Ever have ‘One of those Mornings?’
Siblings turn from cooperation to irritation I remember when my second son was born, and I thought how great it was that my boys would have each other. They are two and a half years apart, and I pictured them growing up together as best friends. I loved having two big brothers to look up to. I always wanted a sister, so I could have a built in best friend. At first, it seemed like my dream may come true. After Vincent got over his initial jealousy of a new child in the house, he adored him. As the years went by, they mostly got along with a squabble here and there. Then something happened in this last year. Something changed, and not for the better. They are 8 and 10 now, and nothing delights them more than fighting with one another. I am talking punching, kicking,
Jeni Whitaker, Columnist throw each other on the ground fighting. I was bewildered at this sudden shift in behavior. Apparently, Vincent considers Drew to be an annoying baby that tries to tag along all the time, and Drew to his credit just doesn’t put up with Vincent’s teasing. Granted, the fighting doesn’t go far, before I break it up, but there have been times they have really hurt one another. My younger son Drew is the meaner of the two of them, and I actually have to pull him off Vincent most
times. So, here I was all concerned about this fighting, and thinking they will never be best friends. I was assured by all of my friends that fighting was normal, especially with boys. Still, I worried. Then something happened that made me change my mind. This kid had been kind of picking on Vincent and we were talking about it at dinner. Drew had not heard about this bullying, and threw his fork down and looked at Vincent and said, “If that kid ever messes with you again, he’s going to answer to me.” Mind you, Drew is the younger brother and small for his age, so Vincent and I both laughed. Drew looked at both of us, and said “I’m serious. Nobody messes with my brother except me!” The determina-
tion in his voice and his face was priceless. Vincent thanked him, and later when Vincent and I were alone, I asked Vincent if he would do the same for Drew, and he replied “Of course.” It warmed my heart to know that this brotherly fighting is temporary, and no matter how much they seem to annoy on another, they have each other’s back always. Someday, I hold out hope that they will be best friends, because regardless they’re stuck with one another. Since my teen years, I have considered my brothers two of my closest friends. I can talk to them about anything, and they are always willing to help me in any way they can, so at some point in our lives that Sibling Irritation usually turns into Sibling Appreciation.
Letters to the Editor
Debate over faith and baptism doctrine continues
E v E n
Dear Editor, After reading Scott Wyatts letter in the June 5th Press, I felt I had to weigh in on this subject of salvation and baptism. I must disagree with Mr. Wyatt wholeheartedly. In order for a person to be saved,all that is required is in fact faith. A person is saved by believing in the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Romans 10:9&10 says " That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord", and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved". "Justified", means,"made righteous", it means you are saved. When we come to faith in Jesus, when we accept him as our Lord and Savior in our
heart, we are saved. God then makes us righteous. He imputes the righteousness of Jesus to us and makes us holy. We become a saint. Paul uses Abraham as an example of a person saved by faith in Romans Chapter 4 verse 3. He says: "What does the Scripture say? Abraham believed God and it was credited to him as righteousness." God called Abraham, Abraham believed God, and he was saved. He was saved by faith. Romans 4:16 " Therefore, the promise comes by faith, so that it may be by grace and may be guaranteed to all Abraham's offspring--not only to those who are of the law but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham. He is the father of us all." You see, Abraham was saved in Genesis chapter 15, but wasn't circumcised until chapter 17
of Genesis, 14 years later. Now circumcision was the sign that you were in God's family, in God's covenant, in the Old Testament. Now in the New Testament, baptism is the sign that you are in God's covenant. So Abraham was saved for 14 years before he received the sign of the covenant! In the same way,in the New Testament, a person is saved before they are baptized. Baptism is not a part of salvation. It is a sign and seal of the inward grace of God that has already happened. It shows outwardly what has already happened to the person on the inside. God has cleansed that person on the inside by the power of the Holy Spirit, applying the blood of Jesus to the person and washing away their sins. Baptism comes after a person is saved, it doesn't complete
your salvation and as I said earlier is not a part of salvation. The key to Acts 2:38 is found in the phrase-"in the name of Jesus." It is Jesus who takes away our sins. He shed his blood to wash those sins away. The water symbolizes that washing. I Peter 3:21 " And this water symbolizes baptism that now saves you also-not the removal of dirt from the body but the pledge of a good conscience toward God. It saves you by the resurrection of Jesus Christ." Again, it isn't the washing, it is faith in Jesus Christ that saves us. His death, burial and resurrection. Peter gives an example there in chaper 3 of I Peter using Noah. He points out that Noah and his family were saved because of the ark. It wasn't the water that saved them but the ark which repreCONTINUED ON PAGE 5

hate teachers letter that doesn’t even make very much sense when you break it down. First, let me tell you about who I am and my background. I have just completed school in December to become a teacher, and I have worked in all of this county’s school systems over the last school year

as a substitute teacher. I am not just a young man straight out of college though. I am fifty years old and I have worked in several other fields before becoming a teacher. I know how businesses work, and I feel this gives me a unique insight when it comes to responding to the falsehoods presented in this recent article. I am not an education insider, but like most of my colleagues I became a teacher to make a difference in people’s lives. I am going to take apart this previous article piece by piece, and explain how this was just a ranting hate letter toward teachers in general, and is not an accurate representation of our local educators. First, she talks about a $500.00 fine issued by an unspecified school district for excessive absences. I have worked in all of our local school districts and I have never heard of any such fine. Even if there was one, which I seriously doubt, why would her child be having so many unexcused absences in the first place? The schools within this county I feel, are extremely liberal as to what they will consider an excused absence. Also, if you talk to
any principal in this county I am sure they would tell you just how bad absenteeism is. Next she talks about punishing students with cold meals. This I found to be almost comical. All of the school districts I have worked in Brown County offer a hot meal. Peanut butter and jelly is an option that the student can make in the morning. Most of the school districts even offer a choice between three items at lunch. Also, think about this for a minute; when was the last time you purchased a lunch anywhere on a regular basis for $2.00 or less? Also if she is having difficulty paying for these lunches due to her income level, which many hard working people in this county are, there are free or reduced lunch programs that she could apply for. The other thing she fails to mention in her hate gram is that the schools also offer breakfast as well. Also, I really don’t think that $2.00 a day is going to fund many retirement programs, let alone pay raises and benefits. That brings me to her next point pay raises, benefits, bonuses, and retirement. I can tell you for a fact that there CONTINUED ON PAGE 5
enough to keep it away for a while. I knew there was no chance of him actually catching the cat, since he is a little on the chubby side. Instantly, I knew I had made a big mistake. I flicked the outside light on just in time to see Boomer grab something by the head and toss it up into the air. I knew immediately, by the smell, that it was a skunk. "NO Boomer, come here...come here," but of course I was the same person who had just told him to 'getem’. The amount of spray that shot out of that little skunk would have covered a small car. Unfortunately for me, it covered my small dog. Boomer let out with a yelp and immediately responded to my yell. He came running back up the steps to me, yelping and crying and ran back into the house. This dog has never listened to me a day in his life, but picks that morning to obey his master. He was just as upset as I was with what had happened. I tried to get back in the door before Boomer had a chance to touch anything, and when he did he ran between my legs trying to rub the skunk oil off onto my legs. I grabbed his collar and tried to push him back outside, but he was shaking all over, crying and temporarily blinded. The smell was so thick and overwhelming that I instantly felt nauseated and began gagging, as did Boomer. Suddenly Boomer tried to run, as if trying to get away from the over-powering odor. He ran for the living room, dragging me behind him. He darted under the coffee table and began rubbing frantically on the carpet. I had to literally drag him out of the living room and decided to put him in the basement until I could decide what to do. I was afraid to put
martha JaCob him back outside, I didn't know where the skunk was, and I was pretty sure he was as upset as we were after being swung around by the head. With Boomer safely in the basement probably rubbing on everything down there, I ran to my computer and googled 'eliminate skunk odor' right away. Instantly I found what was considered a sure-cure for skunk odor, a mixture of one quart of hydrogen peroxide mixed with one-fourth a cup of baking soda and a tablespoon of dish washing liquid. I quickly mixed the recipe together and began rubbing it all over Boomer's head, chest and front legs. Fortunately the recipe was quite effective and seemed to neutralize the skunk oil, taking the smell with it. Then I rubbed it all over my own legs, arms and hands which also worked very well. But the smell in my living room, outside the front door and all over the basement was a whole other issue. It was nearly 6 o'clock by the time I dropped into a recliner and turned on the TV. I was exhausted, nauseous and frustrated. About that time my husband got up and headed down the hall to the bathroom. He saw me sitting in the living room and said.."You better not let Boomer out, honey, I think I smell a skunk, and it must be real close to the house." 'Thanks for the advice dear," I responded. "By the way, do you think you could clean the basement up some time today?"

My dog Boomer, a mix between an Austrian Shepherd and a German short-haired pointer, woke me up early one morning, somewhere around 4 a.m., demanding to go outside. That was a little unusual for him, he usually waited until my alarm went off at seven to want to go out. He seemed desperate to go out so I dragged myself to the door, all the while he was jumping around my feet, whining and barking as if he'd gotten the scent of something. I figured it was the neighbor's cat tearing out my trash again, so I quickly unlocked the door, threw it open and said, "Get em Boomer", hoping he would scare the cat

The prevalence of asthma increased 75 percent from 1980 to 1994, and the asthma rate in children under the age of five has increased more than 160 percent during that same period of time, according to Center for Disease Control. When I went to school, no one had ever heard of being allergic to peanuts, now nearly every school has several rooms that are “peanut free zones”. The rate of peanut allergies in children has tripled from 1997 to 2008 according to the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology. Now some researchers are asking if it’s possible we’re living in too clean of an environment. This is called the hygiene hypothesis, and it proposes that our immune system needs something to do. I guess it’s like our immune system is a kid with ADD, if it’s not busy fighting off the plethora of diseases we used to be exposed to, it can’t just sit still and be quiet. You see, an allergic response involves the same immune system that our body uses to fight off bacterial and viral infections. When our immune system comes across some foreign substance, be it pollen, bee sting venom, virus, or bacteria, it triggers a response that includes directing white blood cells to the site and releasing numerous chemicals - one of which is called histamine. That’s why we take anti-histamines to treat allergies. The data suggests that children with several older siblings are less likely to have asthma, children that go to daycare during their early years are less likely to have asthma, and more significantly, children who have had measles or hepatitis A are less likely to have certain types of allergies. What do all these things have in common? That’s right, germs. Older siblings and other kids in daycare settings expose young children to more germs than an only child would be exposed to. Researchers have also found that children who spend the first five years of life on a farm have a significantly lower rate of asthma than non-farm children. The
HealtH Matters Tom Callahan, Rph same is true of children from developed countries versus third world countries. Now here’s where this “germs are good for us” hypothesis falls apart; asthma rates are much higher for inner city blacks even though their living conditions are not nearly as pristine as suburban youths. Researchers are left to grapple with what is different about farm life that the rest of America seems to have left behind in the relocation to the cities and suburbia. Another problem with an immune system gone rogue is a problem called autoimmune disease. This is where your immune system attacks your own body. There are a lot of different diseases that are caused by autoimmune problems, and depending on what part of the body is being attacked the symptoms are different. Some of these diseases are well known like rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriasis and Crohn’s. I came across one other study that I found interesting, but if you’re at all squeamish, you may want to stop reading here. This study had nothing to do with asthma, but Crohn’s disease. Crohn’s disease is an inflammatory disease of the gastrointestinal tract. Crohn’s is much more common in industrialized countries. The article was in Gut, an International Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, and discussed treating Crohn’s disease by giving the patient worm larvae. In the study - which was not a double-blind, placebocontrolled study, but an open label study – 73 percent of the participants achieved remission by week 24 of the study. Yes that’s right, they cured them by giving them intestinal worms.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Denominational flavors of Salvation – take your incorrect pick! Dear Editor, In response to Scott Wyatt’s letter to the editor, June 5, 2011. I’d have to agree with Mr. Wyatt’s assertion that just “believing in Jesus Christ” does not get one saved. On the other hand water baptism has nothing to do with it either, at this point in time for anyone living during Biblical chronological history. What is required is “TRUSTING through faith what Jesus Christ did on the cross for you,” as in – “He died for YOUR sins.” Even the Devil believes “in” Jesus Christ, for the Devil himself knows that He exists, obviously “believing” such to be reality for him. So belief alone has absolutely no effect on salvation, but the faith one needs to get saved today comes by hearing, and that “hearing” comes from the Word of God. [Rom. 10:17] Don’t trust anyone to tell you how to get to heaven without checking it out completely for yourself. Do the study time in the Bible yourself the same as you would for any one of your school subjects in high school or college. It is not difficult to read and plot the chronological trajectory of Paul’s travels in the Book of Acts by connecting the “dots” of his travels from one geographic location to another. Use two dependent variables that do not change throughout the whole Book – time and geographic location – both are totally independent of specific denominational false doctrines. Yes, it takes some time, but not really that long when compared to how long you will be dead – as in FOREVER. So, for any thinking person, it is not a very good idea to find out you have been “dead wrong,” after believing and trusting what some denomination incorrectly taught you on how to get to heaven. The only secure assurance of salvation you will ever find here on earth is contained within the pages of that Book, not any denomination, especially those claiming to be “Christian” today. Make your own chronological trajectory map of Paul’s [Saul’s] travels from Acts 7 through 28, using the King James Bible text. You won’t be able to connect the dots once you get to Acts 9:30 through Acts 11:25, but you’ll find those “dots” to connect, in between those two verses, in Galatians chapter 1, from Arabia back to Tarsus [Cilicia]. [You have to draw in the line from Tarsus to Arabia to complete the overall trajectory line with that short trajectory described in Galatians 1]. Once you take the time to do that, you will discover
the “key” that proves all these that Book to life, Jesus Christ Dennis J. Varnau “Christian” denomination doc- would be standing right there Georgetown trines [as in Baptist, Church of before you to trust. Christ, Roman Catholic, etc.] to be false doctrine teachings. You will realize that Paul did not get “his gospel” [as described in Galatians 1] until a chronological point in time contemporaneous with Acts 10:10-15, when Peter was in a trance in Joppa the exact same time Paul was in heaven getting “his gospel” directly from the Lord Himself. From this study you will find that Paul first accepted the gospel being preached by Peter, James, 400 Smith Ave. and John, back in Acts 9 time Mt. Orab, OH frame. That gospel included “calling” and/or “believing” on (937) 444-2721 Jesus Christ, repenting, and getting water baptized. You can mtorabchurch.com even see Paul immediately preaching repentance and works Join the fun! Print register form off website or call the church after accepting that gospel in Acts 9 [see also Acts 22 and 26, where Paul was a “minister and witness” of two things – two gospels – verse 26:16], but you won’t find Paul preaching repentance, works, or water baptism in conjunction with the gospel he received while in Arabia, contemporaneous with Acts 10 time frame. Paul’s “his gospel” only included faith, no works at all, and no water baptism. Adding water today to a dead “Christian” will only result in more steam being produced as the volcano erupts to make room for that poor soul who went to hell believing a false denominational preacher instead of the Book. There were two gospels in play back in the Book of Acts, not just one. This preaching of both gospels is clearly delineated in Acts 18:113, where Paul only baptized Crispus, Gaius, and Stephanas and his household at Corinth [1 Cor. 1:14-17], reverting back to Peter’s gospel after attempting to preach “his gospel” a couple of verses earlier to those blasphemers in the synagogue, but finally ending his stint there with “his gospel.” Trust THE BIBLE ONLY on this matter, not any earthly man or woman holding himself/herself out as the final authority on salvation. Read and understand it for yourself completely from the pages of that Book alone. Once you understand what is going on in the Book of Acts, you will then be able to clearly understand 1661 State Route 125 verses like 1 Cor. 15:29. The Bible will prove itself to you that Hamersville, Ohio 45130 it is exactly what it claims to be – THE WORD OF GOD – “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us . . . full of grace and truth.” [John 1:14] If you could literally bring the words of

Debate over faith and baptism doctrine continues CONTINUED FROM PAGE 4 sents Jesus. The ark lifted them out of the death the water brought, Jesus lifts us out of the death of sin and saves us. I guess you cold say the water is a medium that God used to save them but it was God who saved them and it is Jesus who saves us. Now baptism is important and every Christian should be baptized, but salvation is separate from baptism. Baptism is a sacrament of the church as is the Lord's Supper. A sacrament is an outward sign of an inward grace. Sacraments are ways that God has given us to see his grace in a tangible way. His grace has already been given, so baptism and Communion show
to us ,that grace, and how it was conveyed to us. Baptism shows us our sins have been washed away by Christ's blood, and Communion shows us that Christ's body was broken and his blood was shed for us to bring us salvation. Now I do agree with Mr. Wyatt that repentance, witnessing and faithfulness are all a part of salvation. Actually repentance is a part of salvation, whereas witnessing and faithfulness grow out of that salvation. We are able to witness and be faithful because we are indwelt with the Holy Spirit. If it were not for the Holy Spirit we would not be able to do all that we do for God. But all
through the Bible, from the Old Testament to the New Testament, salvation has always been by God's grace through faith. Ephesians 2:8&9 "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God not by works, so that no one can boast." The cry of the Reformation was: Sola Scriptural, Sola Grata and Sola Fide. Only by Scripture, only by Grace, only by Faith. Jesus is enough to save us, in fact he is more than enough to save us. That was his mission, he came to seek and save those who were lost. Paul scolded the Galatians in chapter 5 verse 4 telling them--"you have fallen

away from grace." They were trying to persuade people that circumcision was a part of the Gospel. They were trying to add to grace. Galatians 5:6"For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love." I will close with these verses from Ephesians 2:4&5 " But because of his great love for us, God who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions--it is by grace you have been saved."

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 4 are no bonuses programs of any kind in our local schools. They couldn’t afford them even if they wanted to. Pay raises, where they have happened, haven’t even been cost of living raises, and most districts haven’t even done that. Benefits are not free for teachers as she alludes to, and are far from exorbitant. Teachers pay a large percentage of their insurance, the same as employees in regular jobs do. Retirement is also shared between the employer and employee just like anywhere else. While there are districts in larger cities that do pay everything, in this county, I can assure you they don’t. Ms. Matti says she makes $35,000 a year and pays $150.00 a month in straight school taxes. First, unless you are a landowner you are not even paying taxes for schools at all. Also, at $150.00 a month, you must be paying a lot more than anyone else I know. I am a land owner in
the Eastern District and I have never paid that much. Also I have no children attending school in this district and am still paying. The last time I heard, that was called being a citizen and was part of our responsibility to the next generation. Do school taxes need to be reformed? The answer is a unequivicable yes. Our children will never be able to compete with the wealthier districts unless we see a reform in the way schools are financed. I also would like to congratulate Ms. Matti for making more than most starting teachers. I also doubt that she had to pay for four years of college, pay for three separate Praxis tests, which are almost $90.00 each, and then pay for a $160.00 license just to work. Also, I know for a fact that teachers spend a lot of their own money buying supplies for their classrooms. I have seen it firsthand. Do you buy supplies for your company? As for working a second
job, many teachers do during the summer months that is after they have completed any mandatory training courses they need to stay current on their licenses. Believe me having come from the business world; taxpayers are getting a huge bargain when it comes to teacher pay and benefits. As for standing up to the mafia, obviously you have never heard of Senate Bill 5. Senate Bill 5 attempts to blame everything that is wrong with schools on the teachers themselves. It stops just short of even stripping us of some of our constitutional rights of freedom of speech and assembly. If you want to blame anyone for stealing your child’s future you should start with the politicians. They are stripping money every year from your child’s education and trying to make teachers the scapegoat. The real problem this state faces is the loss of jobs, which also means lost tax revenue for the state,
and local governments. Since they have no idea of how to fix the real problem; their answer is to strip money from schools, and make teachers the object of ridicule. They are who we should all be calling the mafia. I would love to know just how little of our taxes dollars even make it back to our local school districts after they are squeezed by both Washington and Columbus. I bet that number would shock us all. In closing, I would like say that I do feel there are some bad teachers within our local school districts, but their numbers are very few when compared to the outside world. Most are very hard working and dedicated individuals who work every day to make a better life for your child through education. I also feel that school financing needs reform as well. In short, our school systems do make mistakes, but I can tell you for a fact they are not a mafia. William Ackley

Many Acres Planted and Hay Made The first week of June may have set the record for the most acres of soybeans and corn planted in a single week. In addition to crops being planted, I also saw many hay fields being harvested. Last week I talked about hay storage, but one thing that I did not mention that I should have. Hay storage in a barn is best to reduce loss, but in some cases there is no cover or elevated pad reduce loss on the ground. Storing hays so it dries after a

DaviD Dugan rain will help. Never store hay under trees that will not protect the hay from the rain except maybe a light drizzle. The trees will however prevent the sunshine from drying the hay out, so the moisture would be more of a problem. Hay should be stored in a part of the field that drains well. The highest point with the bales turned so water does not run under them and in a manner so the air flow is better. I know in most cases we want the hay at the edge of the field so they are out of the way, so plan ahead for the best spot to store hay outside so the loss is minimal. Pesticide Disposal With all of the planting that has been done in the past few days, I am sure some producers have done the pesticide applications themselves. The custom applicators will have no chance of keeping up with applications of fertilizer and pesticides the way most of the crop went into the ground in a week or less. This summer might be a good time to look around your storage area and see what is there that you need to get rid of when it comes to pesticides. This August we will have an ODA Pesticide Disposal in the center of Adams, Brown and Highland Counties. I will have exact date, time and location in the coming weeks.

INVITATION In Matthew 22 Jesus tells a parable which covers about 2000 years. In the parables God is telling us about heaven by means of an earthly story; one which we can easily understand. Verses 13: “And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said, The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son, And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come.” Now this king has all the resources needed to have a tremendous wedding feast for his son. Naturally, he wants all his friends to attend this wonderful feast. He wants to enjoy their fellowship because to him they are like family. He had sent out all the invitations, he had bidden them to come, and now he was sending out his servants to extend to them a personal invitation to come to his son’s wedding feast. But verse 3 tells us: “...and they would not come.” After having a written invitation and then a spoken invitation, they still refused to come. Does the king give up and say just forget them? No, he is very persistent. He reminds them again. Look at verse 4: “Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage.” He is again inviting them to come. There is something about that word come. In Matthew 11:28 Jesus said: “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” In Revelation 22:17 it says: “And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.” How many of you have received a wedding invitation at one time or another? The person which sent you that invitation sent it to you because they considered you very special. They did not send invitations to the whole world. They had a limited number of invitations and you received one of them. You are very important to them. These people were very important to the king. He invited them multiple times. Not only did they refuse to come but look
DR. CHARLES SMITH MT. ORAB BIBLE BAPTIST CHURCH www.bbcmtorab.com at verse 5: “But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise:” To them it was a joke; it was funny. Surely the king did not think they should waste their time attending his son’s wedding! Many times when I talk to people about going to heaven they say: Ah, I will probably spend my time in hell shoveling coal with the rest of my friends. To them it is a big joke. They make light of it just like people in the parable. Do you think Jesus knows how people respond? He knows how you will respond today. In fact, He knows everything about you and He is still sending you an invitation to come. You are very important to Him. In the parable the people all went their own ways. Money and things took precedence over God. Ladies and gentlemen, you know and I know that money, and sports, and things, still take precedence over God today as much as they ever did. But listen to me. Jesus died on the cross to pay for your sins so that you would not have to go to hell. He paid a price; He shed His blood; He said: Father it is finished! Our sin debt was paid in full. Titus 3:5 states: “Not by works of righteousness which we had done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;” Whoa! I like that! I have been bought with a price. And when He bought me I became one of His servants. I have been knocking on doors ever since delivering His invitations. However, most people are still rejecting them today just as they did then and making light of it. Jesus knows human nature! But friends, one day it will be too late to accept the invitation and no one will think it is funny then! Won’t you reconsider?

Opening weekend for Magic Waters Theatre “Maggie in Magic Land” opened the season at Magic Wagers Theatre near Bainbridge on Friday, June 10 at 8 p.m., with subsequent performances on: June 11, 17, 18, 24 and 25. A show for the young in heart of all ages, this is one of Magic Waters’ “Grandparents Shows”, so named by producer, Dave Brizius, because it is an appropriate show for grandparents to bring grandkids to for a special “togetherness treat!” Maggie is a very inquisitive and not terribly well-behaved little girl who, after not minding her mother, falls into a deep sleep and ends up in “Magic Land” where all manner of fun things happen, including a visit back through time! Actually, as there is no time in Magic Land, Maggie (and audience members, too) get to visit with members of the Shawnee Nation, Daniel Boone, Johnny Appleseed, the bandit, Bob McKimmie, and Boonie the Magician-- all in the same evening! Boonie actually presents a full stage magic show for Maggie, and audience members get to see it, too! It is a good idea to call ahead at (937) 365-1388 to ask the Magic Waters folks to save you seats. Also call that number if you are ordering pre-show picnic suppers which are served one hour before show time.
Admission to “MAGGIE IN MAGIC LAND” is just $7.00 for adults, $3.50 for kids, and $4.00 for seniors.. The optional pre-show picnic suppers cost $7.95 for adults or $6.95 for children. (Suppers must be ordered at least one day ahead.) Magic Waters Theatre is located on the Cave Road, just off of US Route 50, midway between Hillsboro and Chillicothe A visit to the Magic Waters web -page may also be beneficial. w w w. h i g h l a n d ohio.com/magicwaters A secret!-- Folks who have not been to Magic Waters do not know about the secret airconditioning. Each evening a cool breeze floats out of the woods and into the seats. There have been only a couple of nights in 28 previous seasons that folks did not go to their cars for sweaters at intermission! (Air conditioning provided by the Man Upstairs!) Talk about blessings!

Seat belts save over 13,000 lives every year After all of those cold, snowy, and stormy days during this past winter, I’m sure we are all welcoming the warmer (and sometimes sunny) weather. In a couple of weeks, we’ll be officially ushering in the summer of 2011. We’ll have the long Memorial Day holiday weekend and all of its traditional celebrations. We’ll have high school graduations and graduation parties. And there will be a lot more traffic on our local and state roads despite the skyrocketing gas prices. Hmmmm--sounds like another type of “perfect storm”! Which is why the Brown County Safe Communities Coalition urges you to Buckle Up, Every Time, Every Ride. And if you don’t remember to do this on your own, our local law

enforcement officials will be only too happy and eager to remind you as they begin the annual “Click It Or Ticket” enforcement mobilization beginning on May 23rd. Buckling up is THE single most effective thing you can do to protect yourself in a crash. In 2008 seat belts saved more than 13,000 lives nationwide. In fact, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), from 2004 to 2008, seat belts saved enough lives—over 75,000—to fill a large sports stadium! You see, during a crash, being buckled up helps keep you safe and secure inside your vehicle. Despite what you might have heard or thought, being completely thrown out of a vehicle is almost always deadly. And seat belts are your best defense against drunk, aggressive, and distracted drivers. Maybe you think that the air bag in your vehicle is
enough to keep you safe. But the truth is that if you don’t wear your seat belt, you could be thrown into a rapidly opening frontal air bag, and a movement of such force could injure or even kill you. Seat belts are the most effective safety feature available in vehicles today. Sadly, nearly one in every five Americans still fails to regularly wear a seat belt when driving or riding in a motor vehicle. Please don’t be one of them! Remember—Click It Or Ticket on this Memorial Day holiday! Buckle Up Every Time, Every Ride! The Brown County Safe Communities Program is funded by the U.S. Dept. of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Ohio Dept. of Public Safety/Office of Criminal Justice Services, and is locally coordinated by the HEALTH-UC and the University of Cincinnati AHEC Program office in Georgetown, Ohio.

and we just can’t afford the event this year.” Cassidy brought the issue before Sardinia Council members a couple of months ago looking for help, but the village, like so many other small villages is unable to help with the expenses. “We’ve tried to organize some fund raisers,” he said, “ but the car show we had planned was rained out and didn’t do very well.” But through it all, Cassidy and the other committee members say they will ‘keep the faith,’ and continue to hold fundraisers throughout the year and hope for a better 2012.

Little assured him that they were.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Japanese defenders. He won the Silver Star for climbing a ridge under fire with a fire hose on his back that was used to burn out stubborn defenders at the top with Napalm. He won the Bronze Star for rescuing fellow soldiers under fire. He won three Purple Hearts for being wounded in combat...one of those wounds coming while he was rescuing others. He sat down to tell his story recently...a story he said he had not shared with anyone outside his family and close friends before now. Niemeyer was drafted in January of 1941 and by 1945 he was the youngest Captain in the Army at the age of 23. He was part of a group of smaller tank battalions that were sent to the Pacific to fight the Japanese. He spent two years overseas, beginning in Hawaii in 1943, moving west with the fighting until finally reaching Okinawa in 1945. Taking a notebook out of his pocket, Niemeyer said “I wrote these dates down so I wouldn’t forget...I can never forget it. We left Pearl Harbor and spent 34 days at sea. We landed on Okinawa on Easter morning in 1945.” He continued “It was strategically important that we take Okinawa because we wanted that aircraft base. If we could take it, we could use it to bomb Japan with B-24’s and B-17’s. We needed that island very badly, and that’s why the Japs had tremendous forces there.” Niemeyer commanded 18 flamethrower tanks, each carrying 300 gallons of Napalm to burn out stubborn Japanese defenders who were operating out of caves and thick jungle vegetation. The following is an account where Niemeyer won the Silver Star. It was taken from “Okinawa, The Last Battle”, an Army Historical account of the conflict. “Niemeyer and a platoon under 1st Lt. Frank A. Davis fastened one end of a hose to a flame tank and began dragging the other end up the almost vertical side of the hill. The tanks, artillery, mortars, and machine guns stepped up their rate of fire to keep down enemy interference, the men being as exposed as spiders on a bare wall. This spectacular attack was also slow, and it was forty-five minutes before the men reached a small shelf just below the lip of the escarpment. They stopped here long enough to squirt napalm onto the flat rocks above them in case any Japanese were waiting for them there, then scrambled over the edge and poured flame onto the near-by area.” A few short words describing

a harrowing climb that helped turn the tide in one of the most important battles of the war. Niemeyer picks up the story from there. “We got over the edge of the ridge and that’s where the Japs were. We got up to the top and I told our guys to stop firing and we started flaming. We burned our way ahead. The Japs ran because they never thought we’d make it up there.” He continued, “They had to run south into the caves, so we pulled the tank traps up the one road to trap them in there...and that’s when they were done.” Niemeyer was hit by gunfire during the fighting, but all he said about it was “Of course I got shot too”, with a slight chuckle. Sitting down 66 years later, some things came back quickly for Niemeyer. “The thing that I remember most about World War II was the stench. We never buried a Jap and they were lying dead all over the place. We had a hard enough time taking care of our own dead. When our guys would go down on the front lines, we’d have to throw them onto the back of the tank four or five at a time because Graves and Registration couldn’t go up there.” Niemeyer also said he had a front row seat for the fighting. “General (Simon) Buckner would tell me ‘you got four inches of armor so you get to go in front’. So that’s how we worked the tactics. Our tanks would flush the Japs out and the infantry would finish them off. I burned and burned and burned for weeks at a time.” Niemeyer told one story about fooling the Battleship Texas, who was providing bombardment from offshore. “I saw this Jap anti-tank gun and I wanted them to take it out, so I called them up. They said ‘How many personnel are there?’ I told them about two or three and they said ‘We can’t waste a two ton shell on three men’. So I moved to another position and called it in again. They said ‘how many personnel?’ and I answered ‘About two hundred!’ (he said this with a wink). They said ‘stand by’
and pretty soon this two ton shell comes screaming overhead...and the Jap gun disappeared.” Niemeyer and the rest of the troops remained on Okinawa into June, continuing to fight...until one day they heard some news on the radio. “We heard about the surrender from Tokyo Rose herself”, he said. Tokyo Rose was a famous voice of Japanese propaganda that was broadcast to the Pacific by the Japanese in World War II. Niemeyer said he was called in to talk to his superiors after the surrender. “They offered me a promotion to Major with a promise of a Lieutenant Colonelcy if I would take troops into South Korea. I said what’s choice number two? They said ‘We want you to go to West Point’. I said what’s choice number three? They said ‘You can go home.’ I said ‘See ya later.” Niemeyer said coming home was wonderful because he got to marry his wife Louise. She passed away in 1981. “I really loved my wife”, Niemeyer said. “I would have been happy to be on a deserted island with just her because I loved her so much.” He said that adjusting to civilian life was also a little difficult for the first four or five years. “I’d wake up thrashing around or hear a noise in the middle of the night and think it was a Jap trying to get in to get me. It was hard for a while, but I got through it.” Niemeyer used the GI Bill to get Masters Degrees in Nuclear Physics and Finance and started his business career which continues today. When told that many people consider veterans like himself to be heroes, Niemeyer replied “I don’t buy that. I have enough faith in the American people to think that many of them today would do just what I did if the situation called for it. I believe in America.” Looking back, he said that his experiences in World War II were vivid, but they are not at the center of his life. His family is. “This is the first time I’ve talked about this since World War II, I’ve never publicized the fact. I’ve got a plaque in my house with all my awards on there. My grandkids know about and I’ve shown them where I’ve been written up in (Okinawa, The Last Battle). But that’s it.” Niemeyer then brought his feelings about his war experience down to a few simple words. “I fought for my family. I just want to be sure that my family knows that I fought for them. The country has been good to me.”
The Sydnor Family would like to thank the following individuals following the loss of Staff Sergeant Ronald (Ronnie) Sydnor II. The two State of Ohio Troopers from the Batavia post that came to our home with the difficult task of delivering the horrific news, they were there to answer any questions that we had and insured we were fine before they left. The first responders to the scene, Mt. Orab life squad and fire department, it is a difficult job they have and that day was likely one of their worst. The Georgetown post State Trooper on scene who allowed a grief stricken father to survey the crash site and gather personal belongings. The Mt. Orab Police Officer who met Ronnie’s young friends at the site the following day as they placed a wreath at the site, answered their questions and kept them safe while parked at the site. Jeff Egbert and his staff for the always outstanding arrangements and personal support they give with each service. He lifts a huge burden off a grieving family during their most difficult time. Master Sergeant Kerry Penner, our Family Liaison Officer from Wright Patterson Air Force Base, he has been a constant friend and incredible ally, ready at a moment’s notice to assist in any way possible. Trisha Morlock for making sure we had all of the important numbers and personnel to call at WPAFB. Father Byers and Vernon Green, who at a mother’s unusual request to provide for a mixed faith group, worked together to minister to all those gathered to say farewell to our Ronnie. They together were an inspiring combination of comfort for our sorrows but reminding us to rejoice in the time spent with Ronnie. Our own beloved Tiffany Brinkman, whose beautiful voice reaches into your soul and lifts your broken heart. The Ohio Patriot Guard, who on their own time, gather and ride to support our fallen men and women of the Military, creating an awe-inspiring sight while protecting the privacy of the grieving followers. Col. Schulte, SMSgt. Rodriguez, Capt. Mouser and men and women from the USAFR 445th MXS who drove from far distances to pay their respects and honor Ronnie as part of their Air Force Family. The WPAFB Honor Guard, who with their ceremony, gave Ronnie a hero’s send off. This amazing ceremony made our broken hearts swell with pride in our Airman, our son. We also want to send our a heartfelt thank you to all of the neighbors, friends, co-workers and families who sent food, flowers, cards and came from all over to honor Ronnie and support us through our trying time of loss. Our own family members, on both sides, for just being the incredible, supportive, loving people they are every day. In closing, we would like to ask everyone reading this letter to pray and support the unfortunate victims of the accident. They were caught up in a horrific accident through no fault of their own and we are certain that they themselves are traumatized and are asking “what if”. Our community needs to wrap their arms around this family as they have ours to help them through their own healing process, Mt. Orab will be a better town for it. We wish memorials to be made to the Yellow Ribbon Support Center in Eastgate, this information was omitted on Ronnie’s obituary. While deployed to Qatar last year, the care packages we sent to Ronnie were a very important connection to home and the hope is that other soldiers deployed in war zones can enjoy a bit of home away from home thanks to the continued support of the yellow Ribbon Support Center.
With grateful hearts, Ron, Marie, and Bradley Sydnor

Mack Tudor wasn’t able to put together his best effort in the Division I shot put and discus last Saturday afternoon at Ohio State. In both cases, however, each was happy that they still had at least another year to compete for a state championship in their respective events. “We’re just glad he that he’s a junior and he has another year for redemption,” Western Brown boys track coach Chad Sexton said of his star Tudor but echoing sentiments Adamson echoed. “Mediocre, average,” Adamson said of his day of throws. “I think I could have done better but I was really nervous. I just need more practice, more lifting” Though not the finish he may have wanted, Adamson still had a very solid day at the shot put pit. After throwing 55 ft, 3 in. in his first throw of the afternoon, Adamson moved on to the finals of the shot put. He was in the top four of the nine who moved on. Even though he said he was nervous, Adamson still came through with a throw of 55 ft., 9.25 in. in the final round. While it wasn’t enough to secure a top three spot, Adamson said he was happy with how he threw considering how nervous he was. “I’m pretty happy with myself right now,” he said after learning he finished
fourth. “It’s not too bad.” As the only Sophomore in the finals, Adamson finished behind two seniors and a junior. Two of those had placed in the top eight last year in the shot put. Matthias Tayala of McDonald won the event with a throw of 64 ft., 8 in. New Middletown Springfield’s Stephen Lyons (58 ft., 2 in.) finished second and Lucas’ Dustin Porter (57 ft., 5 in.) finished third. Though he wanted to throw his personal best (58 feet) or better, he was pleased but determined to work harder and climb to the top spot next year. “To me it was just a nerve wracking day,” Adamson said. “I’d like at least a top two finish. I am going to just work out, lift harder and work on my technique to get ready for next year.” For Tudor, it was likely a day he would rather forget. His day started with the shot put. Going into the event Sexton said it would be a good day for Tudor in the shot put if could make it to the finals and place. After his first two throws traveled about 50 feet each, Tudor was going to have to come up with a big throw to make it to the finals. He nearly did. His final throw went 54 ft., 4.75 in. and he was in the mix for one of the final spots in the finals.

western Brown’s Mack Tudor prepares to throw the discus at the State Track and Field Championship last Saturday, June 4 at Ohio State University.
After the results were tallied up, he had came up just short. He was in 10th place, one spot, and about seven inches, shy of qualifying for the finals. Though his finish in the shot put wasn’t what he had hoped, Tudor still had the discus event to come. Heading to state, Sexton felt Tudor had a good chance to place high, if not win, the discus. There were high expectations coming in as he had thrown the discus well all season and had made it to
state in the event the previous two years as well. He had placed eighth last year at the state meet in discus as well. Unfortunately, from the start of the event, it didn’t seem Tudor had it working. In warmups he had a couple of throws go nearly 180 feet but once the competition started he couldn’t harness the same potential. Tudor fouled on all three attempts, twice in the throwing ring and once when his throw landed out of bounds. CONTINUED ON PAGE 14

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 13 “He’s been up here before so I don’t think it was nerves but you never know,” Sexton said of Tudor’s unusual performance. “(In the) shot put he says he wasn’t warmed up so that was probably the case on that. On discus he had good warmup throws, a couple of them about 180 (feet), and he just couldn’t produce them in the competition. It happens.” Though it was a disappointing day, it still wasn’t able to put a damper on a successful season. “He had a great year,” Sexton said. “He’s got a lot of cool things planned this summer. He’ll keep on going at it.” Michael Bennett of Centerville won the Division I shot put with a throw of 63 ft., 11 in. while Solon’s A.J. Price won the Division I discus with a throw of 200 ft., 7 in.

It was an exciting night of racing at Moler Raceway Park (MRP) with $1500 going to the winner of the Sunesis Construction Late Model Division. In heat race action, it was Rick Combs in the A Hines Racing Engines machine winning heat race number one while “The Sniper” Wayne Chinn won heat race number two. In the feature, it was a battle between Combs and Chinn up front with Barry Doss and Lil' John Whitney battling for third position through lap ten. At lap ten, Whitney found a fast line on the bottom and worked his way past Chinn for second and then on lap 17 Combs had problems which allowed Whitney to take over the top spot and set sail for what looked like an easy win. With about 5 laps to go Whitney appeared to be in trouble as Chad Stapleton was charging through the field and pressuring him for the top spot. Stapleton tried a bonsai move going into turn three on the final lap but Whitney was able to hang on and take his first win of the season. The Middletown, OH driver, with support from Stephan Heating & Cooling and Amaze-A-Stitch Embroidery, took the win and was followed across the line by Stapleton, Chinn, Barry Doss, and Jim Price. Lil' John Whitney was first ever Feature Winner at MRP and 1st Late Model Track Champion 2007. Lil' John Whitney, as well as his father John Whitney, both won Track Championships at Brown County Speedway with Moler Racing. In Mt. Orab Ford Modifieds, there was a field of 24 cars on hand. Doug Adkins, Weasel Rhoades and Devin Gilpin took the heat race wins while Cory Skipton won the BMain event. In the feature it was Adkins out front at the start with Rhoades, Gilpin and Ray Branscum battling for the second position. On lap 14 Gilpin took over the second spot. On a restart Adkins had a flat tire, which allowed Gilpin and Branscum to take over the top two positions. From there it was all Gilpin as he went on to collect his second straight modified feature in his Impressive Race Car, Mike Shell Racing Engines, Dasco Race Supply machine.
Branscum was second followed by Rhoades, Randy Wash and Dave McWilliams. In the Big Red Book Street Stock division it was Laurellville, OH’s Jamey Adams and Maysville, KY’s Jeremie Bretz taking heat race victories and setting the lineup for the feature event. At the green flag it was all Jamey Adams in his Helterbran Trucking, Adams Chassis machine as he led wire-to-wire to claim his first victory of the season. The exciting race was the battle for second between Bretz and Bill Crabtree as they ran side by side for the final half of the race. Crabtree would win that battle and come home second followed by Bretz, Bub Balsely and Shannon Enoch in the top five. In the Holman Motors Chevette division it was again a battle between Miles Tarvin and Rusty Yarger. It looked as though Yarger was going to win his second feature event of the season, but with five laps to go Tarvin would drive by on the outside to claim his second victory in the Lykins Oil, P&G Farms, Paul Brath Farms sponsored machine. Yarger took second followed by Scott Ramp, Kevin Riggs and Derick Davis. In addition to the regular racing action, the Vintage American Race Cars (VARC) made their annual appearance at MRP. The VARC group is a nonprofit organization who finds and restores old race cars and brings them out to race tracks and shows them off and puts on racing exhibition. At the end of the night it was Sinking Springs, OH’s John Lawhorn taking the victory in his 1969 USAC Silver Crown car. In an attempt to thank Mathew 25 Ministries for helping those in need in the United States, MRP did a helmet drive in which the fans and racers donated $500 to the cause. MRP matched half of that, bringing the total to $750. Thanks to Matthew 25 Ministries and all they do for those in need in the U.S. Also our thoughts and prayers go out to local Brown County hero Seth Blevins and his family. Seth, an Eastern High School graduate who was only 21 years old, lost his life fighting for our country in Afghanistan. Thanks to all our military for all they do. Freedom is NOT FREE!!!

Howelett shares Red Oak news, other local happenings BY Mary Howelett Red Oak columnist A little known and young ministry has shot up in Decatur. It is Annie's Friday night free supper that is either in the park or at her place of ministry right there in downtown. Annie also has canned food available through this ministry. Please stop by and let her know that you appreciate the work that she has started, Brown Countians helping Brown Countians. Speaking of Decatur I received quite a surprise when passing through this week to see the face of windows of the old downtown restaurant missing. I had been told it was through theses windows that my Dad had first seen my mother and immediately told Vane Johnson, “I am going to marry that gal.” Well, since I wasn't there I don't know but....Leroy did marry Ruth and here is Mary Ruth telling the story! It was with great pleasure that I attended the second grade awards ceremony this past week. I went believing that I knew only one child yet before it was over I realized that I knew many of the children including but possibly not limited to Kelly Burson, Travis Hamilton, Reggie Taylor, Rose Eckler-who receive an penmanship award-despite a broken arm, and Guess Cracraft, and hopefully I did not leave anyone out. What a great joy to see all these excited children and our future. Several received perfect attendance awards, several honor roll awards, spelling bee awards, and many more. I was so very glad that I went. Then to make the day even bet-

ter Bobbie Jo, Carter, Opal and I went to West Union just for a getaway outing. Of course, we had to visit the turtles sunbathing themselves on the fallen limb just out of reach of the bridge on Logan's Lane. How much better can you get than that? Exciting for kids of all ages! Then what would that ride/drive be without a stop at the exquisitely simple yet fantastic nursery. Oh my! This was the third stop of the season for me and oh my my! Just pitch my tent! Don't think there is a question about flowers and such that Dave and David doesn't know. Anyway, the butterflies are very happy there and I am very jealous of them! And yes, what would a trip be to that area without a stop at Adams Lake. For the 2010-2011 school year Brianne Fizer received an academic medal, and perfect attendance award. Bobbie Jo Eckler received a math award and spelling award and honor roll award. Rose Eckler received a science award and history award. Kimmy Fizer received a FFA award and a FFA pin. Brandy Logan graduated Sunday. Samuel Titus had a good birthday as he joined the RULH Band on an outing to King's Island with dinner at Applebee's. On Thursday Aunt Mary took Samuel and friend Brianna out for birthday supper at Dairy Yum Yum. After that Sam's family had even more food and cake at home, the next day he went with friends to see Pirates of the Caribbean part 4. Samuel received 2 Honor Choir Awards, one for being an Honors Choir participant and one for attending Honor Choir School located at Hillsboro. He also received an Honor Band Participant Award. AJ received an award for participating in the band. As a person of one I truly appreciate the teachers and staff for taking the time to present their students with awards. This means so very much to our young people. Samuel and AJ looked very striking indeed in their blue shirts the night of the RULH Middle School Band and Choir End of the Year Concert. Congratulations to Sarah Beth for receiving an award for Honor Roll. Sarah plans to participate in Camp Dovetail this summer. Brianna Fizer was one of the members of the RULH Fifth Grade
Science Class that met early Friday morning for a trip to Columbus to visit COSCI, the Science Museum. Congratulations to all the graduates. We are very proud of you! Speaking of proud, how proud can one be to have known young redheaded Seth Blevins. Oh my! Seth was born while his parents lived at Red Oak, in the McPherson house, across the road. What a time he and, near the same age, Nicholas Titus had playing together. Nick with his blondish tight curls bouncing here and there and the straight red hair of Seth flowing gracefully in the wind as they chased each other about, not only at the farm but also at the Red Oak Presbyterian Church. Fond memories for sure and then to hear that on May 20, 2011, just a very short time before his death, Seth announced on his My Space page, “I am a Christian and proud of it, nothing will change that!” I can only pray that his time on this little dirt road at Red Oak and his involvement with the Salisbury girls and with Red Oak Presbyterian Church had a part to play in his belief in being a Christian. Sincere sympathy to Paige, Shirley, Trish and Steve and all Seth friends, family, neighbors, and loved ones. We have always loved you! In the past few weeks I have had occasion to speak with eleven different people/offices/agencies so on and so forth of various degrees of authority that had certain degrees of control regarding specific matters that mattered to me. Out of those eleven, four were as helpful as they had the power to be, five more or less ignored my pleas for assistance, even though I felt in my heart of hearts the situation was critical, and two were extremely unwilling to help while one of them flat out stated “NO, We Will Not!” though the request had been in the works for well over a year and that the same request meant the well-being of another human being-though multiple requests were made all received the same answer-that is until it was mentioned that the attorney would be visiting that office in two days! If you have had similar problems receiving necessary assistance give me a call or email at (937) 392-4261 or email redoakmary@localnet.com. I will not make a promise of anything except prayer asking for divine assistance for a correction to the situation. Happy birthday this week to Lauren Gallenstein, Neighbor Rebecca Spires, Ed Teeters, Roger Dillion, Roddy Scott, Emily Wright, Bill Germann, Trina Knecthly Spires, Stepphanie Taylor, Zachary Watson, John Ulrich, JJ Osman, Jordon Meyer, Rebecca Starrett Happy anniversary to: Sherrie Hardyman and Carl Shaffer Sincere sympathy to the families, friends, neighbors and loved ones of Bill Gray. Bill was one of those people that I always thought I would love to have more time to be able to listen to his stories. Now I have the time.

Eighth grade students wrote plays using the books, Giraffes Can't Dance by Giles Andreae and Anansi and the Moss-Covered Rock , an African Folk Tale. Students made marionettes for Giraffes Can't Dance, and they used hand puppets for Anansi and the Moss-Covered Rock. They also designed a backdrop for a stage. Many musical instruments and singing were utilized to tell the stories in play form. The plays exemplified a lot of imagination, creativity, and talent. Second grade teachers and students wish to thank Mrs. Bernhardt, Miss Purtell, and the eighth grade students for sharing their extraordinary talents with us.
