Hospital now owned by Southwest Healthcare With a symbolic “handing over of the keys”, Brown County General Hospital now belongs to Southwest Healthcare. The deal was closed on June 2 with a flurry of paperwork and signatures. Southwest Healthcare Attorney Ed Green said during the signing that the company was taking on nearly ten million dollars in debt as a result of the transaction. No money officially changed hands during the closing, but Southwest did receive the deeds to four pieces of real estate in Bethel, Fayetteville, Georgetown and Mt Orab formerly owned by Brown County. As the closing continued, Green recounted all of the commitments being entered into by Southwest Healthcare, including the refinancing of bonds with First State and Fifth Third
banks. Green also said that Southwest would pay back a $300 thousand dollar loan made to the hospital by the county. The closing marked the end of a process begun last January when Southwest Healthcare submitted a bid to purchase the hospital. Brown County Hospital Board of Trustees Chairman Eric Sontag thanked “everyone involved” after the closing was completed, “especially the employees and the patients that have chosen to stick with us.” As the signatures were concluded, Sontag reflected that the closing was the end of an effort to sell the hospital to a private entity that began back in December of 2008. Sontag also thanked Brown County Prosecuting Attorney Jessica Little, the Brown County Commissioners and former Brown County Commissioner Margery Paeltz. Sontag continued, saying
“And this closing would not have happened without Ben Houser.” Houser was a former member of the hospital board and passed away June 1, one day before the closing was complete. He was often referred to as the “point man” for the hospital as the sale negotiations were underway. Houser was credited by all in attendance with getting a piece of legislation passed that allowed hospital employees to roll over vacation time with Southwest instead of getting paid out as required by previous state law. “Without that change in the law, this sale might not have happened”, Sontag said. Southwest Healthcare Executive Chairman Paul Tuft said “My emotion as I accept the keys is that I’m very humbled by the trust that the commissioners and the board have put in me. I feel a gigantic responsibility to deserve that trust and to do
the best job for as long as I live to keep health care in Brown County and make it better. I thank you for the trust you’ve put in me and I’ll make you proud.” Hospital CEO Joan Phillips echoed the sentiments of Tuft. “We’re thrilled that this has occurred and we’re ready to move forward. We’ve developed policies and procedures within our company that will allow us to improve the already high standards of care offered at the hospital.” Phillips said she is looking forward to bringing improvements to the hospital “both inside and out.” County Commission President Ralph Jennings said “It’s a new era of health care in Brown County and I wish Southwest the very best. I think it only gets better from here. I appreciate all the sacrifices the employees have made over the years to keep us going and I CONTINUED ON PAGE 14

Local civic leader Ben Houser passes away, loss called ‘tragic’ BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press A tragic loss. Those are the words repeated most often when people who knew Ben Houser spoke of his death. The 70 year old Houser passed away June 1 from heart complications. He died one day before the successful completion of a project that had consumed much of his time and passion lately...the sale of Brown County General Hospital. Southwest Healthcare Executive Chairman Paul Tuft said Houser was “a key person in getting this process through to a successful completion”. Brown County Prosecuting Attorney Jessica Little was one of those who spoke of Houser’s death as a tragic loss. “He was a dedicated public servant and we will miss him terribly”, Little said. Brown County Board of Commissioners President Ralph Jennings became emotional when asked his feelings about Houser. “He was very good board member. He always thought

outside the box and did a lot of good for the people of the county”, Jennings said. He added that he considered Houser “a good mentor”. Houser was very active in Brown County, serving on a number of boards and committees, including the Brown County General Hospital Board of Trustees, the Brown County Board of Health and the Ohio Valley Regional Development Commission Committee for Economic Development. Houser was also President of the Mt. Orab Port Authority and a member of the Brown County Solid Waste Board, and was a Trustee of Southern State Community College.
He also served on the board of the Ohio Academy of Nursing Homes. Houser was also a past President of the Ohio Board of Developmental Disabilities, a former Solicitor for the Village of Mount Orab and former President of the Brown County Democrat Club. Houser’s brother Rick said Ben moved to the area in 1970 and his busy schedule was often the topic of conversation between the two. “I had to make an appointment to see him sometimes, and I’m his brother!”, Rick Houser joked. When asked how his brothers accomplishments made him feel, Houser simply replied “Proud”. He added that his family had a tradition of public service with their father, grandfather and great-grandfather all serving as Clermont County Commissioners. Southern State Community College released the following when learning of Houser’s death. “Dr. Ben Houser, of Mount Orab, was appointed to the CONTINUED ON PAGE 14

The charges include Involuntary Manslaughter and Corrupting Another with Drugs. Brown County Prosecuting Attorney Jessica Little said that “but for (Crane’s) commission of these drug offenses, Christine Crane would be alive today. His conduct is the proximate cause of her death. A woman’s life ended because of Crane’s drug related behavior.” Christine Crane was found unresponsive by Aberdeen Life Squad rescue crews on March 17, after Robert Crane placed a 911 call.

Seth Blevins returns to Brown County, laid to rest with honors BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press Brown County said goodbye to PFC Seth Blevins last week. His remains arrived at Lunken Airport on Tuesday morning and were taken by an honor guard to the Meeker funeral home in Russellville. Blevins was killed May 23 in Afghanistan along with three other men when his unit was hit by an improvised explosive device. Along the way along State Route 125, well wishers gathered and yellow ribbons were placed by volunteers. Seth’s father, Steve Blevins said that the trip from the airport
was “painful and very touching at the same time”. Blevins said the presence of everyone along the highway was very emotional for him. “I saw people crying for Seth that had never met him.”, Belvins said. “That really meant a lot to me.” Blevins said he was especially touched as the procession entered Russellville. “All the children standing in front of Russellville Elementary were something to see”, Blevins said. Blevins said he wanted to thank everyone who turned out and participated in the memorial along the highway.
He also had another request. “I’d like everyone to remember Seth and the other three men that died with him”, Belvins said. “Also please pray for the man that was injured with them.” People started gathering in Decatur over two hours before the procession arrived. One of them was World War II Veteran and former prisoner of war Charles Moore of Decatur. “It’s very sad for the family, and I’m happy to see people turn out like this”, Moore said. When asked how he felt about the sacrifice made by Seth Blevins, Moore teared up and CONTINUED ON PAGE 15

The air conditioning has been broken for the past few weeks at the Brown County Sheriff’s Office and Detention Center. As a result, employees and inmates alike have been living and working in temperatures that have exceeded ninety degrees over the past couple of weeks. County Commission President Ralph Jennings said
that the problem should be fixed possibly as soon as this weekend, when a rented unit was due to arrive. The part of the air conditioner that will replace the one that’s broken is not due to arrive until June 24. “We can’t have those people suffering under those heat conditions”, Jennings said of the county employees and inmates. “That’s why we’ve contracted for the temporary unit to come in.”
Jennings said the cost of the rental unit will be about $10 thousand dollars. The cost to repair the system will be approximately $25 thousand dollars. Brown County Chief Deputy John Schadle said that he and his staff have been working to try and keep things as cool as possible, but it’s a losing battle. “We have fans set up to try and pull air through the building”, Schadle said.

Company is hiring workers at its Mt. Orab and Batavia facilities BY Kristin Bednarski The Brown County Press
Milacron LLC's major manufacturing facilities may be located in the middle of Clermont and Brown counties, but the company's impact is global, and to showcase their improved business and new technologies they hosted an open house May 24-26.

“What it will do is make customers aware, not only of what we really do, our capabilities, but also make them aware of new technology.” David Lawrence, president of plastics machinery, said about the open house. Milacron, which grew from a small machine shop in downtown Cincinnati, is a plastics machinery manufacturer with businesses around the world. The company builds machines that are used to produce a product people use every day: plastic. Everything from plastic spoons to car bumpers are made by Milacron's machines. The company, employing more than 711 regional employees, has re-invented itself for success in recent years, and much of that success comes in the form of the machines, which are made right here in Clermont and Brown counties. “I firmly believe the only way you make money is to manufacture product,” said Dennis Smith, president and CEO. “Our intent is to build a world class manufacturing business here in Afton and Mt. Orab.” And while business has been booming in the last two years, it hasn't been an easy road to success. “This industry, several years ago, had fallen into hard times,” Smith said. “What we're enjoying is a rebound of some of that.” The rebound is partially linked to the status of Milacron's key customers, such as the automotive industry. But the company has also been proactive about ways to improve and increase sales along the way.

Vic Amiott of Batavia tests an injection molding machine at Milacron's assembly facility. The company hosted an open house May 24-26.
Smith said the company has worked on product development and repair, product investment, and has brought production of several of Milacron's machines back to the U.S, including a machine that was produced in India. “We made the decisions we made to be able to make money,” Smith said. “We're seeing a strong 2010 and 2011. Our expectation is that growth can go on significantly longer.” And with the growth, comes the opportunity to expand research, which Lawrence said Milacron has also done recently. “With more strength financially, we've invested in research and development,” Lawrence said. One area of research
Milacron pursued was energy efficiency. After researching ways in which they could save energy, Milacron created a new generation machine that conserves energy by changing the way pumps on the machine run. Milacron unveiled the new machine to guests at the open house. Guests were also able to tour the facilities during the open house and see how machines were made and assembled. Milacron's 190,000 square foot Mt. Orab facility is where parts of machines are made, and the 465,000 square foot Afton facility is where the parts are assembled and tested before the machines are sold. The two plants mostly manufacture injection molding machines, and Milacron is the
only plastics injection molding manufacturer still based in the U.S. The machines, which can weigh up to 200 tons, are created to exert a large amount of force on a mold filled with liquid plastic. Whether the product is a plastic bucket or a car part, Milacron can create a machine to produce the product. “We're very proud of this facility,” Lawrence said about the assembly facility. “Customers too. When they see your operation it impresses them.” In addition to injection molding, Milacron also manufactures some extrusion molding and blow molding equipment. Extrusion molding squeezes plastic out of an opening and it cools into a long line product, such as piping. Blow molding machines use air to shape plastic into products such as a milk cartons. According to Mark Vanzant, director of manufacturing and engineering, machines are sold for as much as $2 million and the company manufactures around 400 to 500 machines a year. Vanzant also said the company was heavy on big machine sales this year. With increased growth also comes the need for additional employees. Milacron is not only hiring at their Ohio facilities, but the company is also looking to become involved with local colleges, to help train students for a career in a different type of manufacturing. “We can and will build a world class company in Ohio,” Lawrence said. “Our other mission is to return the company to the level of prominence it deserves.”

Messer sentenced to seven years in prison and hit both of us”, Fetters said. Messer’s truck hit the Sheriff’s cruisers and became disabled. He then jumped out and fled on foot, where he was caught a short time later by a K9 unit from the Brown County Sheriff’s Department. Messer was sentenced to five years on the Failure to Comply charge by Common Pleas Judge Scott Gusweiler, and one year each on the Vandalism and Receiving Stolen Property charges. All the sentences will run consecutively.

Jerrod Messer has been sentenced to seven years in prison. Messer, 21, was found guilty by a jury on May 4 on Failure to Comply, Vandalism and Receiving Stolen Property charges after a three day trial. The convictions stem from an incident last November, when property stolen by Messer was spotted from the air at a Clermont County home. The airplane was being used by Highland County Sheriff Ron Ward’s office after an investigation that pointed to Messer. According to investigators, Messer took off from the house in a stolen truck, leading police on a two hour chase through parts of Clermont, Clinton and Brown counties. According to trial testimony, speeds during the chase topped ninety miles per hour. The chase ended when Messer was pinned down behind a barn by Brown County Deputies John Fetters and Tim Hubbard. Last November, Fetters

recounted how Messer came at him and Hubbard with the truck. “He emerged from behind that barn at a high rate of speed
The Failure to Comply charge means that Messer did not stop when signaled to by the law enforcement officers that were chasing him. When Gusweiler asked Messer if he had anything to say before sentencing, Messer replied that he realized that he had made a serious mistake and that he “hoped he could get some help in dealing with his drug addiction and become a productive citizen again.” Messer faces similar charges based on the pursuit in Clermont County.

Solomon Creek Dam to be Removed, Little Miami to be Restored Ohio EPA has awarded the Ursulines of Brown County $380,777 to help remove a low head dam and restore approximately 2,400 linear feet of
Solomon Run. The grant is one of 10 totaling $2.8 million awarded by Ohio EPA to help communities restore Ohio waterways impaired by nonpoint source pollution. Nonpoint source pollution is the leading cause of water quality impairment in Ohio. It is caused by rain or snowmelt moving over and through the ground, picking up natural and human-made pollutants and depositing them in lakes, rivers, wetlands and other waterways. Other forms of nonpoint source pollution include modifications to natural stream flow, habitat alteration and nutrients. Polluted runoff can have harmful effects on drinking water supplies, recreation, fisheries and wildlife. In 1987, the federal Clean Water Act created a national grant program to control nonpoint source pollution. In addition to the dam removal, this project will: • remove and apply to the land 17,000 cubic yards of sediment and debris from the dam pool; • restore 2,400 feet of stream channel and bank using regrading, recontouring and bio-engineering; • install two in-stream habitat structures; • plant 10 acres of native grasses in the riparian area; • plant five acres of trees, shrubs and or live stakes in the riparian area; • acquire 40 acres of conservation easements; and • conduct public outreach including website links, signage, display, news releases, public meetings, tours and newsletters.

Ohio Governor John Kasich visited West Union High School, May 31 to talk to students from the high school, as well as students from Manchester Schools and Ohio Valley Career and Technical Center. The purpose of his visit was to talk about prescription drug abuse in Adams County and sign a resolution to officially proclaim June as ‘Prescription Drug Abuse Prevention Month’. Before signing the resolution Governor Kasich told the students that they should have hopes and dreams for the future. “I’m just going to let the Lord put the words in my mouth here,” Kasich began, “Having character, and good principles is the way to be in this life. Some people say that if you say words like that, somehow you have to be perfect. Well, I’m not a perfect person, but if we don’t shoot for our hopes and dreams we’re never going to fly very high.” Kasich continued, “Don’t let anyone tell you what to do. I’ve never let anybody tell me what I could or could not achieve. I came from a school smaller than this one, and now I’m the governor. Every time you kids turn around, someone is putting something in front of you that could take you down and take away your dreams. Don’t listen to them.” As the students listened intently Kasich continued to tell them that he had heard of parties where 15, 16, 17 and 18 year old kids would walk into a room and see a bowl on a table filled with all kinds of pills. Everyone at the party would take a pill from the bowl, not knowing what it was, and swallow it, all for fun. “Kids, don’t ever just do what your peers tell you to do,” he said. “Be in control of your own life. “I want you to all have a great summer. I want you to have a lot of fun. But I’m asking you to stay away from prescription drugs. “I came down here today because I love this area. I love Adams County. In politics, a lot of times, there’s this thing called compromise, and that’s not a bad thing. And every once in a while in life, we have to make compromises. Drugs in this county are killing our families and our communities. With drugs we can’t compromise. You are all engaged in the battle now along

with moms and dads, law enforcement, everyone. It’s up to you to finalize this war.” At that point the governor introduced State Representative Danny Bubp who spoke to the students about House Bill 93, legislation recently put into law to help fight and deter prescription drug abuse. Bubp took the microphone just long enough to introduce Adams County Sheriff Kenny Rogers to the students. Rogers was responsible for bringing the prescription drug abuse problem the attention of to Representative Bubp. As Sheriff Rogers spoke he walked around the gymnasium addressing students on both sides of the room. “How many of you here believe that Adams County is the only county in Ohio with a prescription drug problem?” Rogers began, “In every county in the state of Ohio more people died of prescription drug abuse than died of heroine, methamphetamine and cocaine combined.” He told the students, “Last year in Ohio more people died from prescription drug abuse than died of automobile accidents.” “That’s how bad this problem of prescription drug abuse is. And this isn’t about me or the sheriff’s office, this is about you. We are the generation that let this problem get completely out of control, because we haven’t done our job.” “You,” he said pointing to the students, “You are the generation to help with this problem. We all need your help to solve
this problem.” Rogers stated that money is the real problem at this point in time. “We know what the problem is,” he said. “And we know what the answer is. The answer is drug prevention. I’ll make a promise to you kids, and my promise is, if you never use drugs, you’ll never have a drug problem.” Dr. Terry Johnson also addressed the students. Johnson is Ohio State Representative of the 89th District, which takes in the eastern half of Adams County. Johnson is also a colonel in the Ohio National Guard and served three tours in Iraq. “I want you kids to all be happy and healthy,” he began, “I have four boys of my own, and this continuing problem with prescription drug abuse is huge, it’s ugly and it’s evil. Please don’t feed into this problem.” He told the students that things will get complicated in their lives when they start doing what they’re not supposed to do, but advised that when things did start to get complicated, to step back and make it simple. “This isn’t an issue about being good,” he said. “It’s about staying away from the bad. “You all have the potential to solve any problem. Don’t take drugs kids, live is hard enough. You don’t need anything to make it any harder.” Johnson did however, say that he felt the county was moving in the right direction. Kasich later stated that the focus of the war on prescription drug abuse started in Scioto
County, but that Adams County had more prescription drug abuse deaths, per capita, than any of the other 87 counties in Ohio. He also said that this is a real serious problem in Adams County and that out of every 100 people who abuse prescription drugs only 20 percent have a chance to get out. Accompanying Governor Kasich was Orman Hall, director of the Ohio Department of Alcohol and Drug Addiction Services and former executive director of Fairfield County ADAMHS Board and served as chairman of the Fairfield County Opiate Task Force. “This is not a theater, a TV show or a hip-hop song, kids,” he began, “this is reality. “Since 1997 there has been a 900 percent increase in prescription drug abuse and prescriptions for opiates like Percoset and Oxytocin have increased by nine times.” Hall then introduced Beth Dunlap, a former drug addict who admitted to the students that she had been clean of drugs for over two and a half years but that every day was a new battle. She stated that she was once a teacher, and had actually stolen money from students backpacks to support her drug habit. The principal of West Union High School Tim Davis said he remembered dealing with marijuana in the school, but dealing with prescription drug abuse was much more difficult. He responded to the governors visit that it was an honor to have him there.

Letters to the Editor Local Pastor says just beliving in Jesus is not enough Dear Editor, On April 3rd, Dr. Charles Smith of the Mt. Orab Bible Baptist Church posted an article entitled “Little Child.” Within the article, Dr. Smith misrepresented the truth regarding what the Bible teaches on the Salvation of mankind. As a preacher of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, I felt it my moral obligation to respond to this article. Dr. Smith said and I quote: “I hear people saying all the time that you have to do this or you have to do that in order to be saved. They think that something must be added to God’s simple plan of salvation. His plan simply states that you must believe in the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ His Son, repent, and ask for forgiveness of your sins. That is all there is to it.” Some of what Dr. Smith says is true according to the Bible. He teaches belief and repentance as does the Word of God. However, he omits Baptism, Confessing Christ to others and remaining Faithful until death. Three things the Bible makes clear again and again throughout the New Testament. According to the Bible, for a man to be saved, he must: Believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God (Mark 16:16). “He who Believes and is Baptized will be Saved; but he who does not believe will be
condemned.” He must Repent of his sins (Acts 3:19) Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord.” He must Confess that Jesus Christ is the Lord (Romans 10:9) “that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” He must be Baptized (Acts 3:21) “Corresponding to that, Baptism now saves you - not the removal of dirt from the flesh, but an appeal to God for a good conscience-through the resurrection of Jesus Christ.” He must then remain Faithful until death (I John 2:24-25) Therefore let that abide in you which you heard from the beginning. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, you also will abide in the Son and in the Father. 25 And this is the promise that He has promised us - eternal life. There are several examples of Conversions in the Bible, all of which include these things. These examples include the conversion of the Ethiopian Eunuch (Acts 8:26-38), the Jailer (Acts 16:25-34), the conversion of Lydia (Acts 16:13-15), and the 3000 saved at Pentecost (Acts 2:38-41). So many denominations today teach that all you have to do to be saved is believe
and/or accept Jesus Christ as your personal savior. Others teach that an infant’s soul will go to hell if it does not receive a sprinkle baptism before it dies. Both of these practices are not according to the Bible. As you will come to find, much of the controversy centers on the subject of baptism. Does one have to be baptized to be saved? We have already seen from the scriptural teachings and examples in the p aragraph above, that the answer to this question is a resounding “Yes.” When and how does a person get baptized according to the Bible? According to the Bible, a person is baptized when they come of age and realize they are in sin. There is no set age limit on this, however most people start to comprehend their sin in and/or around their teens. Every obvious example of a person being baptized in the Bible was that of a willing adult. Regarding how one is Baptised, Romans 6:4 is the best explanation for that question. Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. According to Biblical example, historical evidence, and the original Greek meaning of the word baptism, the practice of baptism during the 1st Century Church was that of full immer-
sion in water, which represented that of a burial of the old self and a new birth into Christ Jesus. When a person believes in Jesus Christ, is willing to repent (turn away) from their sins and confess Jesus Christ as Lord, they are then baptized for the remission of their sins. (Acts 2:36-38) “Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ.” 37 Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Men and brethren, what shall we do?” Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins.” In closing this article, it is not my intention to hurt people’s feelings or to be offensive regarding these comments. Quite to the contrary, it is my longing and desire that each one who reads this article would open their Bible and see if what I speak is the truth! (1st Peter 4:11) And if so, make the necessary changes in your life to be right with God. May God bless each one of us to come to the appropriate understanding of His inspired word that we might all live with Him e ternally some day. Scott Wyatt New Richmond Church of Christ
The people of Brown County showed their heart and soul last week when Seth Blevins came home. I drove down to Russellville about 11:00 on Tuesday morning. Seth’s body had just arrived at Lunken airport and wouldn’t arrive for another couple of hours. As I passed the 68/125 intersection heading south, the yellow ribbons began. Then a couple of signs appeared. I turned left on 125 and saw a couple of people in a car at the end of their driveway. Two hours early. Brian Elliott and Heather Frye at MAX FM offered me the privilege of reporting on the event in Russellville with Brad Renchen on the radio, and Brad and I headed the rest of the way into Russellville. As we pulled into town, more signs were visible. Topping the hill, two ladder trucks from the Ripley and Georgetown Fire Departments were extended in the air with a huge American Flag hung between them. People were already gathering in the 90 degree heat. All to honor the sacrifice of a brave 21 year old man who gave his life for them. I talked to 89 year old Charles Moore, who told me he was a World War II veteran who served a year as a prisoner of war after being shot down by the Germans. He called Seth Blevins a hero. I talked to 15 year old Emily Neu, who teared up as she talked about how Seth’s death was affecting his sister Paige. And the next day, I had a chance to talk to Seth’s father. Steve Blevins told me on the telephone that the trip he made with his son from the airport to the funeral home

WAYNE GATES, EDITOR was both painful and touching. He wanted me to tell everyone how much he appreciated them turning out to show their respect and love for his son, even if they didn’t know him. Blevins said he was especially touched by the presence of the children in front of Russellville Elementary School as the procession drove by. He also wanted to thank them for praying for him and his family. So if you turned out on Tuesday, rest assured that your presence was noticed and appreciated. You have helped the Blevins family in their time of grief and loss. Here is what is going to stick with me about Seth Blevins going forward. I never met the young man, but I do know that he walked into an Army recruiting office and volunteered to fight. He knew full well that Americans were dying every day over there, and he still raised his right hand and went to war. And he died at the hands of a coward who hid a bomb by the side of the road. But for the efforts of Seth Blevins and others like him, that same coward and others like him could be over here. We are free to go shopping or to church without fear of someone hiding a bomb somewhere to kill us because Seth Blevins volunteered to stand tall and fight them on their own turf. That’s why he’s a hero to me.

Parent questions spending decisions by schools I love how public schools have turned into the modern Mafia by squeezing money out of the local community by force. In one district they are charging parents $500.00 for every day of school their child misses above the allotted nine days of absences per semester. Seriously? Then another school has decided to "punish" the students by taking away their hot lunches and making the entire class eat peanut butter and
jelly sandwiches if they do not "behave properly" that day. More like they did the math on how much money they will save by doing this - I wouldn't be surprised if your children end up eating peanut butter and jelly for the rest of their school days because I'm sure the school can find some kind of "misbehavior" everyday and they will quickly become addicted to the extra income. If I'm sending my kid to school with $2+ a day for lunch I better be getting my
money's worth - not helping to fund your teacher and administrative yearly raises, exorbitant benefits, pensions, and bonuses so (God forbid) you have to get a second job during your 12 weeks of summer vacation. I already dish out about $150 a month in straight up school taxes (on a mere $35,000 income) and I am sick of hearing it's "not enough". Especially when I recently found out high schoolers in Ohio can apply for thousand dollar college scholarships for
things such as being a natural redhead and being left handed! This is seriously beginning to get comical. Somebody needs to start standing up to the public school mafia - but every politician knows it's political suicide not to give the schools whatever they demand because he/she will then be slandered and demonized as being "against our children" and "stealing their future" etc... It's so sad. It's so outrageous!! It's straight up evil. Mandy Matti

Students show patriotism Dear Editor, On May 31, 2011, students at Russellville Elementary learned about something more than reading, writing, and arithmetic. They were taught a lesson in patriotism, honor, respect and love. As the procession bringing PFC Seth Blevins passed Russellville Elementary, solemn faced students stood silently with their right hands covering their hearts. Not a sound was heard as these students witnessed the return of a true American hero. As in past years, many of these students celebrated Memorial Day with family
and friends. They knew that they did not have school on Monday due to the holiday. But this year there was something more. One of our own community members gave his life to ensure that our children grow up free from oppression and fear of terrorism. It was only right that these same children that PFC Seth Blevins gave his life to protect were able to show their respect and appreciation as he made his way home. I thank Russellville Elementary principal, Mrs. Paeltz, for granting her students this privilege. Jackie Schussler Lake Waynoka

Joe Myers 5K Classic set to run July 4 at Rambler Center, 10 Eastern seniors receive $1,000 scholarships By Martha Jacob The Brown County Press In 1961 a young 24 year old Brown County Deputy Sheriff named Joseph Myers of Russellville, went for a swim with some friends. It was a trip that would change his life forever. The group of friends was diving off a bridge located on old Route 125 near Georgetown, Joe hit the water wrong which severed his spinal cord. The fall left him a paraplegic, unable to move his lower extremities. He was wheel-chair bound for the rest of his life, until his death in 2011 at the age of 70. But living the majority of his

life in a wheel chair did not keep Joe from being extremely active in supporting the basketball program at Eastern High School. According to lifelong friend Bobbie Tibbe and her daughter Jill, Joe Myers attended over 600 basketball games through the years while in his wheel chair. “He was such a basketball fan, it was his passion,” Bobbie Tibbe said. “He was just a wonderful guy and after his death, we wanted to do something in his name and his honor. “So in 2008 we started the Joe Myers Memorial 5K Run/Walk, now called the Joe Myers 5K Classic.” Tibbe said that first year, two $650 college scholarships were given to two seniors at Eastern High School who had played basketball all four years of high school. “We held a Joe Myers Sports Festival early on and raised $12,000,” she added, “now we depend on this 5K Classic to raise the funds we need for scholarship. “This year the fund gave out 10 scholarships to 10 senior basketball players, seven girls and three boys.” Recipients from Eastern High School who played basketball for four consecutive years included seniors: • Clint Black • Mitchell Sharp • John York • Shayla Black • Christina Burns • Haley Malott • Andrea Neu • Leeza Rickey • Emily Tatman • Amber Yockey “This is the first year we’ve added boy basketball players to the list,” she added, “before that it was just for girls.

PERFECTLY SINLESS Something To Think about TOM MEGIE DIRECTOR
CHILDREN AFTER FUNERAL A child should be allowed to remain even if there has been a tragic loss in the family. Of course, when someone in the family dies, everyone else has to pitch in and assume some of the tasks and responsibilities that the deceased once had. However, don’t make a ten-year-old or even a fourteenyear-old be the “mommy” or the “man of the house”. They should know that more is expected of them in terms of household chores, but they should know that it is okay to be ten or fourteen. The experience will have helped them mature a lot, anyway. Don’t force it further by denying them the opportunity to still be a child. Don’t be afraid to talk about the deceased with your child, and let them share memories. Let children know that it is good to remember people after death, that we can treasure the lessons and joy they
brought us for all our lives. Even the process of sharing these insights will foster a closer relationship among the survivors.

In John 12 Jesus is revealing the future to His disciples. They have no idea that He is going to die on the cross. At this point they do not know about His coming resurrection. In fact, they assume that He is going to set up the kingdom and they are going to be part of His staff. Let’s look at verses 23-24: “And Jesus answered them, saying, the hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified. Verily, verily, I say unto you, except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.” Jesus was using the analogy of a kernel of wheat. We all know that if it is planted in the ground and grows to maturity, it will produce a lot more than the kernel you put into the ground. Here Jesus is referring to Himself as a kernel of wheat that is going to die, rise up, and thereby produce many more Christians. That includes you and me. Think about it; He died for you and for me! However, His disciples at that time did not understand about His dying. Jesus continued speaking, saying: “He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.” He said: “...where I am, there shall also my servant be.” do you know where Jesus would be today if He were here on earth in a physical body? He would be in church at every service. Are you His servant? He said: “...there shall also my servant be.” Surely you don’t think that on a Sunday He would be at a ballgame or golfing, do you? Now look at verse 27: “Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from his hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour.” He said that He could ask His Father to save him from dying on the cross, but the reason He came was to die on the cross. He was to be that kernel of wheat which must die in order to produce much fruit. He could have saved His life. He did not have to die! He died for the express reason of you and me and everyone in between. In Hebrews 5:8-9 it tells us: “Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered; And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation
DR. CHARLES SMITH MT. ORAB BIBLE BAPTIST CHURCH www.bbcmtorab.com unto all them that obey him;” When I first considered verse 8 I thought that it could not be. How could He learn anything since He is God and knows everything? Hold on now! Listen to this. There is one thing that God did not know. God did not know what it was like to live in a human body before He became a human. Now He does. We know what it is like to live in a human body. We know the temptations; we know the pitfalls. He had to know before He could understand. We know these bodies are hard to control; He knows that too. Our souls are in this body and our souls do not want to do some of the things that our bodies want to do. But the body will fight you to do what it wants to do! Sometimes it wins. In Romans 7:15 Paul states: “For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.” In verse 24 he said: “O wretched man that I am! Who shall deliver me from the body of this death?” Read chapter 7 of the book of Romans. That is what the apostle Paul said! The flesh will fight the spriit all the time. But in Jesus’ case, He never gave in to His body. He overcame His flesh. He learned to have perfect and total control over all the fleshly desires and temptations that men, women, and children face. Christ is perfection personified. II Corinthians 5:21 says: “...who knew no sin...”. He was perfectly sinless! No one else can say that, not you and not me. The Bible tells us that all have sinned and came short of the glory of God. We must believe in the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. We must repent of our sins. We must call upon the name of the Lord. He understands our temptations and our troubles. But we must act on our faith, no matter how small it is, and call upon His name for salvation from hell.

Army Pvt. Mathew C. Gross has deployed to Iraq to serve in support of Operation New Dawn, the formerly named Operation Iraqi Freedom. This transition signifies a formal end to U.S. military combat operations in Iraq. Operation New Dawn shifts the U.S. emphasis from predominantly military to predominately civilian as the U.S. officials assist Iraqis in accordance with the Strategic Framework Agreement. The three primary missions of U.S. Forces include advising, assisting, and training the Iraqi Security Forces; conducting partnered coun-
terterrorism operations; and providing support to provincial reconstruction teams and civilian partners as they help build Iraq's civil capacity. Gross is an M1A2 armor crewman regularly assigned to the 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division at Fort Hood, Killeen, Texas. He is the son of Brian Gross, Ripley. His foster parents, Brad and Tabatha Hallman, reside in Rosebud, Mont. The private second class graduated in 2010 from Rosebud High School. The Brown County Press would like to thank Army Pvt. Mathew C. Gross for serving our country.
On Saturday, May 21 about 25 students, teachers, parents and other volunteers worked hard to put in an outdoor habitat at Fayetteville Middle School.

The outdoor habitat includes elements such as a variety of flowers, trees and a bird bath. In the future, the Science Club would like to extend the project by including bird houses, more sitting areas for classrooms and signage. A big thank you goes out to all the volunteers and local businesses that helped support this project!

Pet poisonings from human medications happen and they can be serious. Below is a list of the top 10 human medications pets most frequently ingest. 1. NSAIDs (e.g., ibuprofen, naproxen)—Topping our list are the common household medications called non-steroidal antiinflammatory (NSAIDs), which include common names such as ibuprofen (e.g., Advil and some types of Motrin) and naproxen (e.g., Aleve). Even one pill may develop serious stomach and intestinal ulcers as well as kidney failure. 2. Acetaminophen—When it comes to pain medications, acetaminophen (e.g., Tylenol) is popular.One regular strength tablet of acetaminophen may cause damage to a cat’s red blood cells, limiting their ability to carry oxygen. In dogs, acetaminophen leads to liver failure. 3. Antidepressants (e.g., Effexor, Cymbalta, Prozac, Lexapro)—While these and other antidepressant drugs are occasionally used in pets, overdoses can lead to serious neurological problems such as sedation, in coordination, tremors and seizures. Unfortunately, just one pill can cause serious poisoning. 4. ADD and ADHD medications (e.g., Concerta, Adderall, Ritalin)— Medications used to treat Attention Deficit Disorder and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder contain potent stimulants such as amphetamines and methylphenidate. Even minimal ingestions of these medications by pets can cause life-threatening tremors, seizures, elevated body temperatures, and heart problems. 5. Benzodiazepines and sleep aids (e.g., Xanax, Klonopin, Ambien, Lunesta)—These medica-
DAN MEAKIN CREATURE FEATURE
tions are designed to reduce anxiety and help people sleep better. However, in pets, they may have the opposite effect. About half of dogs that ingest sleep aids become agitated instead of sedate. In addition, these drugs may cause severe lethargy, in coordination (including walking “drunk”), and slowed breathing in pets. In cats, some forms of benzodiazepines can cause liver failure when ingested. 6. Birth control (e.g., estrogen, estradiol, progesterone) Birth control pills
come in packages that dogs find irresistible. Large ingestions of estrogen can cause bone marrow suppression. 7. ACE Inhibitors (e.g., Zestril, Altace)— Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors are commonly used to treat high blood pressure in people and, occasionally pets. Though overdoses can cause low blood pressure, dizziness, and weakness, this category of medication is typically safe. Pets ingesting small amounts of this medication can potentially be monitored at home, unless they have kidney failure or heart disease.

Everyone knows kids need to be vaccinated regularly, in fact they can’t even get into school without proof that their vaccinations are up to date. Did you know that adults should also get regular vaccinations? Today we’ll take a look at one of those vaccines, the DPT. The DPT is actually a single shot that covers three different diseases. The D stands for diphtheria, the P for pertussis, and the T for tetanus. Because of the success of America’s vaccination program, diphtheria has almost been eradicated in this country. Between 2000 and 2007 there were only 3 cases of diphtheria in this country. Pertussis is another name for what is commonly called whooping cough because of the characteristic whoop noise made when the person tries to inhale after the cough. It is also sometimes called the 100 day cough because the cough last 6 to 10 weeks. The coughing can be so severe that it can actually cause broken ribs in some cases. Unlike diphtheria pertussis is not nearly eradicated, in fact, there were nearly 17,000 cases of pertussis in 2009 according to the CDC. It is now recommended that adults get a pertussis vaccine with their tetanus vaccine especially if they are going to be around infants. Pertussis can be deadly for infants. It can cause them to stop breathing. The final member of our trio is tetanus, which is also known as lockjaw. Tetanus is a disease that leads to severe muscle spasms. When I say severe, I mean spasms bad enough to tear the muscle or break the bone the
HEALTH MATTERS TOM CALLAHAN, RPH muscle is attached to. If not treated, tetanus can be fatal in one out of four cases. A tetanus shot is what the doctor is talking about when he asks, “When was the last time you had a booster shot?” Tetanus is caused by a bacterium that is present in soil. It is present in a dormant form called a spore. As a spore the bacteria is protected from the outside environment and can survive for years. A common misperception is that tetanus is caused by something being rusty. That isn’t the case. What is true is that rusty nails are a perfect vehicle for tetanus. The nail is outside exposed to the environ-
ment and the rust makes a rough surface so the spores can stick to it. Second the nail makes a deep puncture wound, placing the spores deep under the skin where they thrive and produce the toxins that cause the muscle spasms. In other words, any deep puncture wound especially one that happens outside can lead to tetanus. So when was you last booster shot? Can’t remember? Has it been more than 10 years? I’d say it’s time for a shot. Even if you don’t have a family physician you can get a tetanus shot (or Tdap) at Pamida pharmacy or at the Health Dept. (378-6892 or 866-867-6892). If you have a question you’d like me to address, stop in and see me at Pamida pharmacy, call me at (937) 378-6849, or send an email to PRXM093@Pamida.com.

“But when it’s over ninety degrees outside, fans can only do so much”. As he was speaking, the thermometer in the radio/reception area of the Sheriff’s Office stood at 82 degrees at about 11 a.m. Schadle said it was a bit more difficult to cool down the jail area. “Obviously we can’t just throw doors and windows open in the jail area.”, Schadle said. “We’re working with fans and other ways to try and keep the inmates as comfortable as possible under the conditions we’re faced with.” Jennings said the matter is complicated by the fact that the replacement part has to be
manufactured from scratch in Japan...and then shipped to the United States. Jennings said getting that news was kind of a “double punch to the gut”. “First they tell us it’ll cost $25 thousand dollars and then they tell us it’ll take a month and a half to get here. Needless to say, we weren’t pleased”, Jennings said. According to the supplier, the delay in manufacturing and shipping is due in part to the earthquake that devastated Japan on March 13. Jennings said the commissioners have been aware of the issue since late April, and have been working to resolve it by talking to contractors, parts suppliers and others.

think they deserve some credit.” Former County Commission President Margery Paeltz said she was pleased to see the process come to a successful conclusion. “It’s wonderful to see people come together in order to provide a good future for health care in Brown County.” Paeltz also said there was one more important element to the transaction that people need to keep in mind. “Now that we have a buyer for the hospital, we need to use it so we can keep it. The people of Brown County need to use the resources they have here at home so they won’t have to drive an hour down the road to get good health care.” Southwest has committed in the Asset Purchase Agreement to keep health care in Brown County. The agreement reads in part “Buyer confirms that (i) it intends to continue to operate the Hospital as an acute care hospital; (ii) it has no plans to eliminate any material services
currently offered by the Hospital; (iii) it plans to extend the continuum of health care services in Brown County; (iv) it intends to assess the feasibility of providing the full continuum of health care services either through the ownership of the necessary assets or through partnering with other providers; (v) it intends to expand health care services in Brown County (subject to its ability to recruit necessary physicians and other personnel); (vi) it will work with local physicians and civic leaders to determine the other hospital services most needed in the community; (vii) it intends to reduce the out-migration of Brown County residents for healthcare by recruiting additional physicians to the Hospital; (viii) it intends to focus initially on recruiting primary care physicians and targeted specialists and sub-specialists.” Phillips said that an open house was planned for the hospital in “the near future” once Southwest gets policies and procedures in place.

The cupola at Browns Motel in Aberdeen
Brown County travel and tourism update National Tourism Week was May 7 – 15. The Ohio Tourism Division announced Ohio’s tourism economy grew by 7 percent in 2010 and generated $38 billion in total sales, up from 36 billion in 2009. “About 1 in every 11 jobs or 8.7 percent of Ohio’s jobs in 2010 were sustained by Ohio’s tourism industry,” said Amir Eylon, State Tourism Director. “Tourism is a resilient industry with ability to quickly add new jobs to meet increased demand, which puts it at the forefront of economic recovery.” The latest statistics tell us that in 2010 94 percent of travelers planned their trip online. In 2007 that figure was 50 percent. The Brown County tourism website, www.browncountytourism.com, had 71,959 page views in 2010. The number one page viewed was the Old West Festival followed by covered bridges, Brown County Fair, Moler Raceway, Ohio Valley Antique Machinery Show,
White Oak Marina, MerandaNixon Winery and A&M Orchards. There are a total of 237 listings with some of those being one time events. The numbers show that this website is being used. Events can be submitted for the site if they are of interest to tourist. You will also find lodging, recreation, restaurants and shopping that would appeal to tourists. Most brochures are listed to be downloaded. The Quilt Barn Trail through Brown County is high on the list of pages viewed. This is a project that continues with new blocks being added. During National Tourism Week Brown’s Motel in Aberdeen received 6, 4 foot by four foot quilt blocks. The blocks were hung around the cupola.

With tears brimming in his eyes, Johnson said “It’s tough on all of us when it hits this close to home. I was honored to know such a gentleman and a man.” Johnson said the death of Blevins is especially hard on a smaller community. “When you watch a kid grow up and you know he’s serving his country for our freedoms and he doesn’t come home the way you want him to it just makes it real hard.” Blevins was laid to rest in the Lutheran Cemetery in Arnheim on June 2 following a visitation and funeral at Eastern High School.

G’Town’s Adamson aims to take WB’s Tudor home state Div. III Shot Put title looks to break through at State Track Meet By Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press
B R O A D S H E E T
For the second time in as many tries in his young high school career, Georgetown sophomore Jess Adamson is headed back to the State Track and Field Championships to compete in the shot put at Jesse Owens Stadium at Ohio State University in Columbus. Last year as a freshman, Adamson made it to state for the shot put and didn’t have his best performance. Georgetown track coach Jarett Young said he thought then that Adamson was a bit too hard on himself after his throws. “I told him after the meet, he was kind of down on himself, that (his performance) was him just being so young and he would have years to come back and do (better),” he said. But it didn’t take years for Adamson to return to the state meet, It only took one more season. Adamson arrives at state this year as someone who has a chance to walk away with the shot put title. Young said he consistently placed first or second at most of the G-Men’s meets this season in the shot put. That trend continued into
the postseason as Adamson won the shot put at both the New Richmond District meet and at the Troy Regional meet. He won each by throwing at least three feet further than his closest competitor. He has become such a strong and consistent thrower because of a work ethic that Young said is unparalleled. Young said he not only puts work in at the gym and track but he also watches tapes of his performances and of other throwers, including fellow state qualifier Mack Tudor of Western Brown. “Jess is by one of the hardest workers on the team, or of any sport because I also coach basketball,” Young said. Adamson threw 54 ft., 10.75 in. to get to state, and Young said he will most likely have to throw a little better to win the title. He said Adamson will have to throw closer to his season best throw of a little more than 57 feet to win. It’s something that Young thinks he can very well do. “If he has a good day he’s right up there with the best of them,” he said. “Nobody can stop him but himself.” Adamson will throw on Friday, June 3 at 12:00 pm.

Western Brown Junior Mack Tudor continued his stellar season by qualifying for the State Track and Field Championships at Jesse Owens Stadium at Ohio State University in Columbus in both the discus and shot put. He is the only thrower from the Cincinnati area to qualify for the state meet in both events. Making it to state in both events was what Tudor had worked all year on accomplishing. “It has been a personal goal of mine to make state in both events,” he said. “I spent a lot of hours in the weight room and at the track working out and preparing myself. Now it’s great to see all that hard work paying off.” Tudor made it to state by finishing third in the discus and fourth in the shot put at the regional meet in Dayton. He threw the discus 171 ft., 7 in. He threw the shot put 56 ft, 3.5 in. This will be the third consecutive year Tudor has reached state in the discus. Last year he finished eighth in

the discus at state. It is the first year he qualified for state in the shot put. Western Brown boys track coach Chad Sexton said Tudor threw pretty well at regionals. “His discus throw was down a little bit,” Sexton said. “He didn’t quite hit it and he fouled on his best throw. Shot put was pretty much on line with what he threw all year.” Sexton said Tudor will have to throw the discus well to improve upon his eighth place finish from last year but he knows Tudor has it in him. He said he will most likely have to throw 180 feet to reach the finals in the discus. “He’s going to have to have a better than average day,” Sexton said. One reason Sexton may believe Tudor can reach beyond his average throw is because of the familiarity Tudor has with the throwing pits at Jesse Owens Stadium. Not only will he have his past two years at the state meet to look back on, Tudor will have the experience of competing at the same throwing pits earlier this season. On May 7 the Western Brown track team participated at the Jesse Owens Classic at Jesse Owens Stadium. Tudor won the discus at the meet with a season best throw of just over 178 feet. Sexton said being familiar with the pit can only help ease some of the anxiety away. “One of the reasons we scheduled that event was so he could throw in that pit and get a better feel for it,” he said. “If nothing else, it can make him more comfortable with the place. That way it’s not such a big shock when he gets there.” Tudor will be in action on Saturday, June 4. He will throw shot put at 12:00 p.m. and then the discus at 3:00 p.m.

Three Western Brown seniors recently signed letter of intent’s to continue their athletic careers in college. Volleyball player Danika Ratcliff, baseball player Tory Bauer and wrestler Justin Dillinger each committed to play their respective sports at the next level. Ratcliff signed to play volleyball at Urbana University in Urbana, OH. Ratcliff was a middle hitter and played on the back line last season for the Lady Broncos volleyball team that won the Southern Buckeye Conference (SBC) American Division. She was named first team All-SBC American Division for her play. Ratcliff suffered an injury to her ankle during basketball
season and had to work hard to get back to full strength in order to work out for Urbana and get the opportunity to continue her career. “I want to give special thanks to Dr. Mark Day and Coach Cooper,” Ratcliff said. “Dr. Day helped me rehab my ankle during basketball when I tore two of the three main ligaments.” Bauer signed to play baseball at the University of the Cumberlands in Williamsburg, KY. He was a key cog for the Broncos baseball team this spring, and he helped them to a runner-up finish in the SBC American Division. For his efforts, Bauer was named to the All-SBC American Division first team as well as being named to the East-West All-Star Game. He wasn’t sure what position he would be playing in
college after playing several this season for the Broncos. Joining Bauer at the University of the Cumberlands will be his former wrestling teammate Dillinger. He will wrestle for the Patriots. Dillinger had a very successful season on the mats for the Broncos. He was named first team All-SBC at the 152 lb. weight class he wrestled at. During tournament play, Dillinger stepped up as well. He finished third at the Division I sectional at Western Brown, which was good enough to qualify for district. His fourth place finish at the district meet allowed him to qualify for the state meet. He did not place at the state meet. He said he wasn’t sure what weight class he would wrestle at in college but said it may be at 165 lbs.

BSC Vipers Cincinnati United Soccer League champions for the fourth time in five years The BSC Vipers finished their 2011 spring season in the Cincinnati United Soccer League as Champions. The Vipers, based out of Mt Orab and playing for Beechmont Soccer Club, went 4-0-3 on the season in Girls U12 Division 2. This was their fourth time, in five seasons, to finish as undefeated league champions. Five seasons ago the Vipers started playing select soccer in CUSL Division 7 with a desire to improve and advance as far as their talents and skills would allow. Each seasonal championship brought promotion for the Vipers to a higher playing level, a higher level of competition and a higher level of skill. During those five seasons the Vipers have lost only one league match. After claiming the top spot in Division 2 this season, the BSC Vipers have earned their promotion to 1st Division for next season. The effort, the dedication and the desire of the Vipers to become a top notch team is second to none. The promotion of these fine young athletes to play premier level soccer next season is well deserved. Well done ladies and good luck next season. Go Vipers! Georgetown SAY Soccer

Since May 30, 1948, the newly organized Mt. Orab VFW, under the command of 1st Commander Wilson Sroufe conducted the first Memorial Day program held at the Green Township Cemetery, according to current post Adj. General of VFW #9772, Rick Rhoades. “Since that first Memorial Day ceremony,” Rhoades told a crowd of over 200 people, “Never has this post failed to assemble here on this special day to pay tribute to those who have honorably served in the armed forces of the United States.” Brown County Auditor, Doug Green opened the ceremony with the singing of the National Anthem. Emcee for the Memorial Day event was Bill Cornetet, veteran of the Korean Theater who served in the U.S. Army. Cornetet stood proudly behind the podium and spoke briefly to those in attendance of the ceremony which followed a parade through the village to the cemetery. “We all know what Memorial Day is about, right?” he asked, “The Indianapolis 500, the family getting together, grilling out, having a few beers, an extra day off from work, and lets not forget the great Memorial Day sales at the shopping center! Okay, I’m kidding. Those of you who are here today know that Memorial Day is a day of remembrance and a day of thanks. It’s a day that has been set aside to remember the sacrifices of hundreds of thousands of men and women who have died while serving their country.” Cornetet went on to talk about how near and dear the day is to all veterans who made it home and especially to members of the Mt. Orab VFW. “Since 1948 nothing has cancelled this service, not rain not thunder or lightening, nothing has deterred us from performing our duty of honor-
ing our soldiers, our sailors, our marines and our airmen who died in battle,” he added. “Our duty is to keep alive their memories and the reasons why they had to pay the price they did. “Today, right now, as we stand here, thousands are serving in Iraq, Afghanistan and many other nameless outposts far away from the comfort of their homes so that we can meet here today to pay tribute to those who have given their all.” Cornetet spoke briefly about the loss of 21 year old Pvt. Seth Blevins and ended his presentation with a quote from General McCarther which he described as summing it all up very concisely. ‘Duty, honor, country. those three hallowed words reverently dictate what you ought to be, what you can be and what you will be.’ Danny Bubp, State Representative of the 88th District was also a guest speaker at the event and opened his remarks with a prayer, asking God to remember the Seth Blevins family in their time of sorrow. “It’s great to be an American,” Bubp said in a loud voice. “And we’re lucky to be in America. God has blessed us abundantly. Ever since September 11, every young person that has stood and raised their right hand and sworn to defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic, knew tat the probability is, that they will be deployed to a combat zone. ‘We have forces extended all over the world, but we couldn’t do that if it wasn’t for the great American youth we have.” Bubp pointed out members of the Western Brown JROTC Cadet Corp, standing at attention during the ceremony after marching in the parade. “I am so proud of these young people,” he said in an emotional tone. “And I’m proud of what they stand for in their uniforms in this heat. Thank you, cadets.”
Bubp went on the thank the members of the Western Brown High School Band who had also marched in the parade. “It’s a wonderful day,” he began, “but these are dangerous times we live in. If it weren’t for our military, we wouldn’t be speaking English.” At that point, Bubp asked that every veteran in attendance of the service come up and introduce themselves so that the audience could thank them personally. After they arranged themselves, Bubp said, “We are here to honor these men and women, and to always remember them. That’s what’s important, and it is critical that we remember them.” Bubp said that it was just his opinion, but that Americans do no remember their veterans enough. At the conclusion of the ceremony, hundreds of red white and blue balloons were released in remembrance of all those who died defending their country.
