Possible buyer chosen for Brown County General Another possible buyer is in play for the parent company of County General Brown Hospital. Falcon Investors LLC from Harrison, NY was the bidder recommended to the Brown Board of County Commissioners by the Brown County Hospital Board of Trustees. The hospital board chose Falcon at a meeting on July 6 and the commissioners voted to accept the recommendation on July 7. In a press release, Brown County Regional HealthCARE CEO Mike Patterson said that Falcon agreed to assume the hospital’s debt, contractual liabilities and capital leases pending completion of the due diligence process. The release also says that Falcon plans to invest “up to 15 million dollars for construction of two additional floors onto the current physical plant”.
Falcon will be joined in the effort by Transition Healthcare Company, LLC. In an exclusive interview with the Brown County Press, Executive Vice Falcon President for Special Opportunities Larry Krule called the the potential purchase of BCGH an “exciting opportunity”. “We’re happy to be the bid accepted by the Brown County Board of Commissioners”, Krule said. “We’re encouraged by the effort of the local community and hospital staff to keep the facility operational during hard times and we’re looking forward to using the skills and resources that we have to turn things around.” Krule and his company plan to get started right away. He said he and two members of his team will be in Brown County on Monday to begin the “due diligence” process. That will include an inspection of the facility, its finances and other factors that will help Falcon determine whether to
Trial date set in Hensley case

BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press The death penalty case against Joseph Hensley is moving forward. A trial date has been set for March 14, 2011 and a key witness will testify via deposition on July 29. Hensley is accused of killing John Carpenter of Aberdeen last April. Dallas Tincher of Mt. Orab is also facing the death penalty for allegedly hiring Hensley to kill Carpenter. A hearing was held on July 7 to determine whether the prosecution could depose Robert Short of Sardinia. Prosecution documents filed in the case say that Short sold Tincher the gun that Hensley used to kill Carpenter. Short is 80 years old and the prosecution wants to get his testimony on the record in case he is unable to testify due to health or other issues next March. Hensley attorneys Bruce Wallace and Nick Ring opposed the motion, but

Common Pleas Judge Scott Guswelier ruled in favor of the prosecution. “The deposition will take place, but I will not rule on availability (of Short) until it’s time for him to testify”, Gusweiler said during the hearing. If Short is ruled to be legally unavailable to testify during the trial, the deposition can be admitted as evidence. If Short is available, the deposition will not be used. Short is already scheduled to be deposed in the Tincher case on July 21. Other housekeeping and scheduling issues of the Hensley trial were worked out during the hearing. There will be another hearing to rule on more pre-trial matters on August 30, and a day long hearing is scheduled on September 16 to go through the approximately fifty motions that Wallace and Ring have filed on Hensley’s behalf. The cutoff date for discovery, evidence shared between the prosecution and defense, is January 1, 2011. After that, a hearing on the final questions to be asked of potential jurors is set for March 1, 2011. The trial itself is scheduled for eight days, beginning March 14. Should Hensley be found guilty of aggravated murder, the penalty phase of the trial would begin on March 28, where he could possibly be sentenced to death. Hensley’s girlfriend, Sarah Clemens, was sentenced to three years in jail on July 7. She pleaded guilty of Obstruction of Justice charges last month. She was originally charged with complicity to aggravated murder.

go through with the purchase. Krule said that Falcon has had success in the past turning around financially troubled hospitals. He pointed to MetroSouth Hospital in Blue Island, Il, as an example. The Falcon website (www.falconinvestors.com) lists MetroSouth as a company success story. Falcon purchased the former St. Francis Hospital and Health Center in 2008 when it was in financial trouble. The website says the company was able to achieve break-even status for the facility within six months. Krule said he expects the due diligence process to take about 60 days and they will use “all the information they can gather” to help them make their decision on whether to purchase Brown County Regional HealthCARE. Neither Krule or Brown County Board Of Commissioners President Margery Paeltz were willing to release the specific amount that Falcon bid for BCRHC.
“We’re moving forward in a positive direction to continue to provide quality health care for Brown County”, Paeltz said. Regarding bid details, Paeltz said “We would like to say more about that, but we are respecting state law and the wishes of Falcon during the due diligence process.” The Falcon proposal was accepted over another proposal with local ties. The local bidder, Eagle Legacy Partners, was represented at the bid opening on July 2 by Chamber of Commerce President Tim McKeown and Ripley Village Administrator Charles Ashmore. Neither of the mens employers have any involvement with Eagle Legacy Partners. In a telephone interview following the commission vote, McKeown said he was “disappointed that we (Eagle) were not selected to be the primary health care provider in Brown County.” CONTINUED ON PAGE 10

Mt Orab VFW Post in danger of closing By Wayne Boblitt The Brown County Press About 40 people attended a special Wilson Sroufe Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 9772 meeting on July 1 to discuss possible ways of keeping that Mt. Orab post open. No answers were found that night, however, although several possibilities were discussed. Some Post 9772 Ladies Auxiliary members also attended the special meeting at the Post at 115 W. Main St. as also did Ohio VFW District 4 Commander David Conley of Goshen. “I am your district commander,” Conley said at the beginning of the meeting and added, “If there is anything I can do for this post and everyone connected to it, feel free to call.” Post 9772 Adjutant Gen. Rick Rhoades had reported in late June the Post's future was “on the line” and it could close because of an inability to attract younger veterans of foreign wars. Rhoades also mentioned Post 9772 was having trouble
finding “vital funding needed to remain financially solvent”. He said while the Post has sponsored such fund-raising activities as fish fries and bingo in the past to keep itself operating, the number of people who attended those fundraisers gradually dwindled. He also said while the Post rents its facility to some interested parties, not enough people have sought to rent it lately to bring some money into its coffers. Several Ideas Discussed At the July 1 meeting, Post 9772 Quartermaster Jim Dillinger, who functions as a treasurer, said he had told Post 9772 Commander Art Isbill he would check with a bank on getting a “home equity” type loan on the Post's property. He said the Post could get a line of credit up to $10,000 per year with the interest rate at an estimated 5.25 percent, which he said wasn't bad, and closing costs estimated to be $600 to $1,000. Dillinger mentioned how three years of tax returns or financial statements indicated the Post's income is going down. The Post's bills for June
were reported as being $1,780. The quartermaster said the Post has to make sure it pays its property taxes and electric bills. He mentioned electric bills run $700 to $800 per month and sometimes $900 to $1,000 during the winter while insurance on the Post building runs $140 per month. Dillinger said the Post's Internet and cable connections were disconnected that day to save about $90 per month. He also mentioned the Post, when it holds fish fries to raise money, has to come up with the money up front to purchase the fish and other food for those fund-raisers. Conley later mentioned
BC Commissioners make funding change BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press The Brown County Commissioners are cashing in a building fund to pay for more pressing needs, including a $300,000 loan to Brown County Regional HealthCARE. The Commissioners sent a letter to County Auditor Doug Green requesting that the Courts Building fund be dissolved and that the 1,092,490 dollars in it be transferred to the County General Fund. From there, the money will go to three other places. 400,000 dollars will be transferred to a newly created Budget Stabilization Fund. Commission President Margery Paeltz said that money will be used as a carryover fund to pay for county commitments for the first couple of months of 2011 until additional tax funds are received. 392, 490 dollars will be transferred to the County Facilities Renovation Capital Projects Fund to pay for roofing and other repairs to county buildings. And 300,000 dollars will go to BCRHC to assist in operating the hospital while Falcon Investments, LLC completes a due diligence inspection in anticipation of possibly buying the hospital.
The commissioners received a letter on July 2 requesting the 300,000 dollars “for the operation of the hospital” following a motion to that effect by the hospital Board of Trustees. It was signed by Board Chairman Eric Sontag and BCRHC CEO Mike Patterson. Paeltz and Patterson both said in interviews that the 300,000 dollars in being considered a loan. Paeltz said the money would be included in financial discussions with Falcon. The Courts Building fund where the money came from has been a budget item since the late 1990’s when it was established. Paeltz said that the fund had been added to over the years, but it has become clear that “a million dollars isn’t enough to build a courthouse” and that the money is urgently needed in other areas as the county faces a very tight budget. Regarding the 392, 490 dollars transferred to the County Capital Improvement fund, Paeltz and Commissioner Ralph Jennings mentioned the need for a new roof on the Brown County Adult Detention Center and improvements to the Brown County Courthouse as possible projects to be paid for by the fund.
while the Post may be between “a rock and a hard place” needing money to buy the fish fry food in turn to raise money, he added Post 9772's fish fries had become “known all over”. Post Past Commander Rick Banyea said in e-mail correspondence he had with Mt. Orab Mayor Bruce Lunsford, the mayor had indicated the village possibly could be interested in purchasing the Post building. Banyea said he told Lunsford he couldn't discuss money issues with him; rather, it would take a committee of Post members to do so. CONTINUED ON PAGE 10

G’town electric rates set to increase 10 percent By Wayne Boblitt The Brown County Press Electric rates are anticipated to rise 10 percent for Georgetown customers later this summer, and water, sewer, and garbage collection rates may double for Georgetown customers who reside outside the village. At their regular meeting June 24, Georgetown Village Council members heard first reading of an ordinance establishing new rates for the village's electric customers. The council also authorized Village Solicitor Jay Cutrell to draw up an ordinance to present to them later that would charge out-of-village water, sewer and garbage collection customers twice the rate paid by in-village customers. In a telephone interview last week, Village Administrator Kelly Jones said the village hasn't had an electric rate increase in 16 years.
Jones said the rates of about a 10 percent increase established in the new ordinance are set to help ease customers into some new rates that definitely are scheduled for 2012 so the full impact of those increases isn't felt at one time. He also mentioned how the village's electric costs are going up 24 percent and added he wasn't certain whether Georgetown would pass all those costs on to electric customers. The proposed ordinance sets forth the following rates: - Net monthly winter rates (January through May and October through December): 7.469 cents per kilowatt-hour for the first 1000 kWh and 4.982 cents for each additional kWh with the minimum bill being $3.96. - Net monthly summer rate (June-September): all kWh at 7.469 cents per kWh with a minimum bill being $3.96.

The Eastern Local School District Board of Education at its regular meeting on June 29 adopted a Fiscal Year 2010-11 Budget that appropriates more than $27.1 million. While that budget is higher than the budget of more than $21.1 million adopted for FY 2009-10, which ended June 30, it is less when the Classroom Facilities Fund money is extracted. The new fiscal year's budget appropriates $11,181,305 for the Classroom Facilities Fund and $27,125,411.74 altogether. Budget appropriations the Classroom outside Facilities Fund total $15,944,106.74. The budget at the beginning of FY 2009-10 appropriated $21,103,659.59 including $4,572,000 in its Classroom Facilities Fund with budget appropriations outside that fund totaling $16,531,659.59.

Final FY 2009-10 appropriations, which also were approved on June 29, totaled $21,551,115.93 including the same amount - $4,572,000 – in the District's Classroom Facilities Fund. Final budget appropriations outside that fund for last fiscal year totaled $16,979,115.93. The Classroom Facilities Fund includes money designated for new classroom facilities in the district and not other non-related expenditures. After a new Eastern Local High School and a new Sardinia Elementary School opened this past year, the district also is looking at getting a new Eastern Local Middle School constructed in the Macon area. District Treasurer Kevin Kendall said the state will pay 86 percent of the new middle school's cost with the Eastern District contributing the remaining 14 percent. The biggest fund in the new year's budget is the General Fund, for which $11.7 million have been appropriated, the same amount as that appropriated at the beginning of FY 2009-10. Final FY 2009-10 appropriations in the General Fund totaled $11.9 million, but Kendall said appropriations in a fund do not always indicate all that money has been or will be spent. Eastern Board members voted 3-2 at their regular meeting on March 16 to cut $703,840 from the General Fund for FY 2010-11. District Superintendent Alan Simmons mentioned then how the district was receiving fewer federal, state and local funds as a result of the current recession.

The Aberdeen Police Department anticipates having a K-9 Unit soon to help with its fight against drug trafficking and other crimes in that village. Aberdeen Village Council members voted unanimously at their regular meeting July 6 for APD to obtain a police dog and receive subsequent training with that dog. Their vote followed a pres-
posal. Police Chief Clark Gast mentioned he and Newman had discussed the idea previously. Newman said APD had a K-9 Unit in the past and reported how Aberdeen still has problems with thefts and narcotics offenses. The sergeant said Aberdeen police officers had made three drug trafficking busts during the previous three months and mentioned how they had

pills. Newman said a K-9 Unit would help Aberdeen police officers with their fight against illegal drugs. He estimated the cost associated with the new K-9 Unit as being $10,500. Aberdeen resident Jody Shelton, who was in the council meeting audience, said she would donate the dog. The dog selected to aid Aberdeen police officers will have to meet state K-9 specifications and qualifications. Gast said he would like to see if the K-9 Unit startup costs could be paid with grants APD possibly may obtain and with donations, and he mentioned the village possibly could set up a line item in its budget to receive monetary donations for the K9 Unit. Gast said the training Newman would receive as the dog's handler would take place in Brown County so overnight lodging expenses wouldn't result. Newman said the training would take about six weeks. Councilwoman Billie Eitel asked whether Newman would take the dog home, and Newman said he would as long as his landlord agrees. He said he thought a police dog should live with his or her handler. He also reported someone in the village had donated a cage in which to house the dog while the animal rides along in a police cruiser. Councilman Jay Castle said just prior to the vote how there definitely was a problem with drugs in Aberdeen and “we need to protect the kids”. Later in the meeting, audience member Greg Darnell took $20 up to Aberdeen Fiscal Officer Rhonda
Jack Hafner receives two-year prison sentence Brown County Court of Common Pleas Judge, Scott T. Gusweiler, sentenced Jack E. Hafner to two years prison on June 29. Hafner, of Russellville, was indicted by a Grand Jury in April on one count of Illegal Assembly or Possession of Chemicals for the Manufacture of Methamphetamine and one count of Illegal Manufacture of Methamphetamine. Judge Gusweiler accepted Hafner’s plea of guilty to Assembly or Illegal
Possession of Chemicals for Manufacture of the Methamphetamine. The remaining charge was dismissed upon a motion by the state. Judge Gusweiler sentenced Hafner to two years prison. Judge Gusweiler also suspended Hafner’s license to drive for six months. Judge Gusweiler notified Hafner that he could be subject to three years post release control by the Adult Parole Authority upon his release from prison.
how something needed to be done about the stealing and drugs in the village. Toby Bowman, another member of the audience, donated $20 that night as well. Anyone interested in donating toward the K-9 Unit may bring money by the Aberdeen Village Offices during their regular operating hours. Further information is available by calling (937) 795-2212. Council members at their meeting this past Tuesday also received a summary of APD activities from Jan. 1 through that date. Aberdeen police officers cleared 1,580 of 1,584 reported incidents. Incidents for which 10 or more reports were filed during the first six months of 2010 include: - Business checks, 246. - Investigations or followups, 96. - Thefts, 76. - Foot patrols. 58. - Traffic details, 31. - Complaint investigations, 30. - 911 hangups, 29. - Suspicious activities, 24. - Suspicious persons, 23. - Threats or harassments, 22. - Suspicious activities, 21. - Traffic complaints, 20. - Checks about welfare, 19. - Business alarm drops, 17. - Court appearances, 17. - Prowlers, 16. - Narcotics complaints, 13. - Civil complaints, 12.

Carmella Reeves, volleyball coach. Angie Bunn and Ed Bunn, cross country coaches. Jason Hauck, golf coach. Sara Layton, cheerleading advisor. Board members also voted to award Christy McCann an extended service contract, to be paid for by a state grant, to serve as director of the Eastern District Alternative School for 20 days. The board also accepted the resignation for retirement purposes of Richard Kiser, a SES physical education teacher who had opted last year for the retire/rehire option and received a five-year limited contract. Kiser apparently decided, however, this past year was going to be his last as a teacher, ELHS girls basketball coach and ELMS athletic director. Kiser coached Eastern High girls basketball teams to more than 600 victories during his career with the Lady Warriors and reached the 600 milestone this past season. His prestigious accomplishments included coaching the 1999-2000, 2000-01 and 2001-02 Lady Warriors' teams all the way to the Ohio State Division III Girls Basketball Tournament in Columbus with the 2000-01 players bringing home that season's State Division III Girls Basketball Tournament Runner-Up Trophy. The three girls' teams Kiser coached who played in the state tournament posted undefeated regular season records during those years and suffered their lone loss in each of those three years in a state tournament game. The ELSD Board of Education will not hold a regular meeting in July. The board's next regularly scheduled meeting will be at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 17, at the District Administrative Office on U.S. 62 south of Macon.

Conversations with my kids Mine always happen late at night when I’m half asleep.

Letters to the Editor
One Father (and Mother) Too Many Dear Editor: We shouldn’t be surprised that our country’s morals and values are changing before our eyes. Michelle Obama warned this would happen over a year ago. She told us that when her husband was elected he’d make changes. (I just didn’t think change would come so fast, cost so much, and be so antiChristian.) One troubling change supported by our Republic’s chief executive is his “two daddies” and “two mommies” initiative. Sadly, he is doing it at the expense of our most vulnerable, the rising ranks of fatherless children. The president, using an otherwise noble initiative designed to raise awareness of, and offer solutions for, father absence, gave a political nod of approval to supporters of homosexual parenting. His approval came on June
20, the 100th anniversary of Father’s Day, within the White House proclamation. Cleverly, the president couched two words in a single sentence that undermines the unique and complementary roles of mothers and fathers. The president’s proclamation said, “Nurturing families come in many forms, and children may be raised by a father and mother, a single father, two fathers, a step father, a grandfather, or caring guardian.” In a similar Oval Office announcement on the occasion of Mother’s Day, only last month, the president offered a similar approval to lesbians by adding “two mothers” to the many traditional parenting options. Of course, literally speaking, the president is right. Children can be, and often are, raised by numerous combinations of relatives of various sexual orienta-
rent administration would be wise to follow the example and counsel of God’s Messiah. Two “daddies” and two “mommies” are not better than one parent of each. So instead of expending precious energy and resources on selling the merits of twofather or two-mother families, the president would be wise to invest part of his trillion dollar stimulus to encourage the loving presence of both a mom and a dad—God’s original version of family. Edmund Burke spoke a principle 250 years ago that is still true today: “All that is necessary for evil to prevail in the world is that good men do nothing.” Perhaps the continuing assault by President Obama on Judeo-Christian values is the clarion call needed for citizens of this Republic to rise up and vote in November. Sincerely, Doug Carter
July is Parent Bereavement Month Dear Editor: For most families, the summer means fun and great family times. But for some, summer is also a difficult time as they put their lives together after the premature death of a child. Sadly, two children drown and four die
in car accidents each day— many of these tragedies occur during the summer months. July is Parents Bereavement Month. It’s a time for all of us to be sensitive to the heartache of parents or caregivers who have lost a child. If you know someone in this situation, offer them
heartfelt support. Reach out through letters, phone calls and words of encouragement. One of the best things you can do is to be present and listen. For those who have suffered the loss of a child and continue to feel pain, isolation and sadness, there are grief recovery

Vincent: “Really Mom…it’s not that hard to see the comparison.” Me: “I think you might be right…seriously.” Vincent: “Um, yeah.” Next: Me: “What do you want to be when you grow up?” Drew: “A cowboy detective
with a huge mustache or an actor.”. Vincent: “I’m going to make something…make people think my need it when they really don’t, like cell phones or ipods and sell millions of them, and be a billionaire.” Me: “Drew, that sounds great and I think you could be an actor and play that type of character with Tom Selleck as your mentor and Vincent….you scare me with your intelligence.” We also have random conversations reading how airplanes fly, whether things in movies can happen in real life, why are zombies so stupid, but vampires so smart , how many different shades of green there are, why do we drink cow’s milk, has a squirrel ever eaten another animal or just nuts, how life would be different without modern conveniences, and my personal favorite what if God were a homeless man? These conversations lead me to believe I am raising smart, funny, caring, and awesome children. They are the best part of every day of my life and I only hope we continue these conversations for the rest of our lives. One day maybe they can explain some things to me. :)

Celebrating our history this 4th of July SENATOR SHERROD BROWN Last weekend, we celebrated the 234th anniversary of Thomas Jefferson’s Declaration of Independence, preserved in the Constitution that George Washington first swore to uphold and defend. In doing so, we reflected on the sacrifice of those who make our independence possible. To all the men and women of our armed services, our veterans, and all of our military families – we owe you our gratitude and thanks. And as Ohioans showed during family barbeques and community parades and fireworks, we celebrated all Americans who have told the story of our nation – whether on battlefields
in foreign lands, in factories and firehouses in our communities, or in sculpture and paint in the U.S. Capitol. Their names may not be remembered in the same vein as Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, or George Washington, but Ohioans Hiram Powers, William Henry Powell, and Howard Chandler Christy each played a role in telling the story of our nation’s history. Hiram Powers’ eight-foot high statue of Benjamin Franklin has stood a few feet from the entrance of the U.S. Senate Chamber for nearly 150 years. Directly across from this towering statue is another work-of-art crafted by an Ohioan. William Henry Powell’s 16 foot by 26 foot painting, “The Battle of Lake Erie,” depicts a pivotal moment during the War of 1812. It captures the moment when a U.S. victory protected the Great Lakes and our state from British

tions. But the inclusion of the reference to “two fathers” and “two mothers” is clearly a deliberate “fine print” decision (predicted by his wife) against the sanctity of biblical marriage and family: one man and one woman. Two thousand years ago, our current chief executive would have fit right into a group of progressives (they were known as Pharisees) who posed a similar question about marriage and divorce to the King of kings. He answered their ruse by giving them God’s original plan: “Haven’t you read in the Bible that the Creator originally made man and woman for each other, male and female” (Genesis 2:27; Matthew 19:4). The Prince of Peace pointed them (and us) to God’s Word because biblical principles always provide true direction for “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” Perhaps the cur-

invasion. It was at the end of this battle when Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry notified General William Henry Harrison, future Ohio Senator and U.S. President, that “we have met the enemy and they are ours.” Both Powers and Powell were from Cincinnati. On the other side of the Capitol, just a few feet from the entrance to the floor of the House of Representatives, our Presidents have passed by Powers’ statue of Thomas Jefferson. Directly across the statue is a painting by another Ohioan, Morgan County’s Howard Chandler Christy. His 18 foot by 26 foot “Scene at the Signing of the Constitution of the United States” depicts George Washington, James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, among other founding fathers, enumerating the laws of our Constitution in Independence Hall in Philadelphia 1787. We know there are challenges confronting our state and our nation – an economy to rebuild, national security to protect, an oil spill to be contained. But last weekend’s celebrations embody the vibrant American spirit and rock solid patriotism that have carried our nation forward since that day in Philadelphia. As it has done throughout our nation’s history, Ohio’s talented workforce is building the cars and appliances of the 21st Century. Ohio workers are building the infrastructure – ports and bridges and highways and railways – that will connect our shores and expand our commerce. Ohio’s manufacturers, farmers, small businesses, and entrepreneurs pushed the boundaries of ingenuity and innovation to help turn our nation into an economic superpower. Workers’ wages
climbed as productivity increased and the ticket to the middle class – a stable, wellpaying manufacturing job – built prosperous communities around the state. Today, we are re-tooling our manufacturers to compete in the 21st Century clean energy economy – and rebuilding our middle class communities along the way. The entrepreneurial spirit of our great state sent humankind into flight and space. It built the cannonballs and tanks to defend our nation. It helped navigate our winding rivers and cultivate our vast fields. And it will once again lead our nation toward a path for economic prosperity. And throughout our nation’s history, that path has always come through Ohio. Marietta was the first official town in the newly established Northwest Territory. The official public celebration occurred on Independence Day 1788, marking our state’s role as a gateway to westward expansion. For the more than 200 years since Thomas Jefferson granted our statehood, our state’s history has helped tell the story of our nation’s history. One is reminded of this walking past Hiram Power’s sculptures or the paintings of William Henry Powell and Howard Chandler Christy. And I am reminded of it as I meet Ohioans across our state, knowing that our nation and Ohio’s history have been, and will continue to be, shaped by everyday heroes in our communities. It’s an honor serving as your U.S. Senator and I thank you for being active participants in the story of our state and upholding the ideals and limitless promise of our nation. I hope you and your family had a safe 4th of July holiday.

Ripley, Aberdeen celebrate 4th of July Anyone wanting to celebrate the Fourth of July Weekend at a festival could enjoy a variety of activities at both Ripley and Aberdeen. The Ripley Lions Club's July Festival featured a new Battle of The Bands on July 2 and a new Hot Dog Eating Contest on July 4 among its events. The Aberdeen Fourth of July Celebration In The Park featured a variety of competitions as well including Talent, Lip Sync and Pizza Eating contests. Ripley Lions Club President Jim Arnold said he thought this year's July Festival ended up being a “fantastic” success at Ripley Lions Club Park in downtown Ripley. The Battle of the Bands on July 2 kicked off the events while activities on Saturday, July 3, included a Kids' Fishing Contest, a Baby Show, a Pie and Cake Contest and Auction, a Chili Cook-Off, and a Cornhole Tournament. Bands performing that day included Double Vision and Blue Country. Activities that actually took place on the Fourth of July included a Hot Dog Eating Contest, a Pet Show, a Tug-ofWar Competition, and music by the Upfront Band. Kid's games and activities, poker tables, and the Big Wheel were in operation on both July 3 and 4. The festival concluded at dark the night of July Fourth with the Great Fireworks Display by Starfire
Productions with those fireworks being set off across the Ohio River in Kentucky. There were big turnouts at most events, including the Pet Show and the Baby Show, the club president reported, and he added participation was good as well in the Pie and Cake Contest and the Chili Cook-Off. A'deen Festival Successful Organizer Kay Marshall said the Aberdeen Fourth of July Celebration In The Park on July 3 and 4 was a success this year. She said attendance was way up this year compared to that of 2009 and mentioned vendors who participated in the festival “were very happy” with their sales. Activities on July 3 included a Baby Show, a Little Mr. and Miss Pageant, a Junior Miss Pageant, a Basketball Free Throw Contest, a Pet Show, Talent and Lip Sync Contests, and live music. The Baby Show was quite successful with 97 contestants reported in all categories, Marshall mentioned. Activities that actually took place on the Fourth of July included gospel singing and other live music, a Baking Contest and Auction, a Cornhole Tournament, a Kids' Patriotic Bike and All Terrain Vehicle Parade, Children's Games, a Pizza Eating Contest, and a Cruise-In sponsored by Big Boys Toys of Aberdeen. Marshall said a lot of antique cars participated in the Cruise-In. Karaoke Contests were held on both July 3 and 4, and those attending had the opportunity
Agreement Validates Ohio Livestock Care Standards Board The Ohio Farm Bureau Federation (OFBF) has announced its support for the agreement announced today between the Ohioans for Livestock Care coalition and the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS). The agreement validates Ohio voters’ decision last fall to pass State Issue 2, which established the Ohio Livestock Care Standards Board as the appropriate venue for defining acceptable farm animal care practices. “One of animal agriculture’s most vocal critics has agreed that the Livestock Care Standards Board is the proper authority to handle difficult questions about farm animal care,” said Jack Fisher, OFBF executive vice president. “This is truly a milestone and confirms Ohio’s position as a national leader in farm animal care.” Fisher also praised Gov. Ted Strickland for his efforts to create an agreement that will be good for Ohio farmers and consumers. OFBF cited additional reasons for supporting the agreement. Farmers now have certainty for an extended period of time regarding housing regulations. The livestock industry will be less vulnerable to emotional video used to sway public opinion on farm
animal care. Farmers, their organizations and allies will not be forced into a multi-million dollar media battle. Importantly, the agreement helps farmers live up to the promises they made during the Issue 2 campaign. “We will be able to continue producing safe, local, affordable food for Ohio’s consumers,” Fisher explained. He added that the provisions of the agreement will protect jobs throughout the food industry. Fisher complimented the Ohio agricultural organizations that have led the Ohioans for Livestock Care coalition. Farmer-leaders of Ohio’s beef, corn, dairy, pork, poultry and soybean organizations along with Farm Bureau “have been united in their commitment to do what’s best for farmers and consumers,” according to Fisher. Their unanimous acceptance of this agreement signals continued unity among all the groups. “When farmers proposed the Care Board, we envisioned veterinarians, farmers, consumer advocates, animal specialists and other Ohioans making informed, transparent decisions on farm animal care issues,” Fisher said. “With this agreement, we have assured that the Board will have ample time to prove its value.”

Preventative care for your dog BY DR. DAN MEAKIN Performing preventative care on any animal can save owners from costly vet bills in the long run. Here are some essential preventative measures. First and foremost an annual physical exam by your veterinarian is the most important preventative measure for your trusted companion. A thorough physical exam will alert you to conditions before they become problems, and assure you that your pet is healthy enough to respond properly to the vaccinations. While receiving an exam, your pet can have it’s toenails trimmed for no extra charge. Pets will hide their illnesses, so physical exams are important. There are several canine vaccinations available. DHLP-P is a five in one vaccine which protects against Canine Distemper, hepatitis, leptospirosis, parainfluenza, and parvovirus. It is required for all hospitalized, boarded, or groomed dogs. Puppies between the ages of six and 18 weeks should receive boosters every three weeks. Puppies are more susceptible to these diseases than an adult. Once a puppy is finished with a series of boosters, annual boosters are given. Adult dogs receive a yearly DHLP-P vaccination. An adult unvaccinated dog receives two vaccines three to four weeks apart. Rabies vaccinations are required by law for all dogs over four months. Puppies receive one year rabies vaccine at three to four months of age. Adult dogs receive a rabies vaccine every three years after the initial vaccine. Bordatella, or kennel cough, vaccinations is recommended for all dogs. The cough is highly contagious from dog to dog. Vaccination is required when boarding your pet and when enrolling in an obedience class. Semi-annual boosters may be necessary for higher exposure. Lyme’s disease vaccination is recommended for dogs that travel to the northeast or the Wisconsin and Minnesota area. It is carried by deer ticks and only sporadically present in Ohio.
Giardia vaccination is recommended for outdoor dogs that frequently swim and drink from ponds, lakes, and streams. The disease also has the potential to infect humans. While vaccinations will prevent a number of problems with the family dog. Intestinal parasites such as roundworms, tapeworms and hookworms cause sickness and problems with growth and digestion. Parasites require a microscopic examination of a fecal specimen to detect. Semi-annual fecal examinations are recommended. Fleas are a common problem for outside dogs. It is easier to prevent fleas than to treat an infestation. Do not waste money on over-the-counter flea products. The best preventative options include Frontline, Program, Advantage, and Revolution. Program will prevent flea reproduction. Frontline and advantage kill adult fleas. Top spots is the most convenient and is applied as a small amount of liquid over the shoulder monthly. Some additional things to remember about fleas are, if swallowed fleas can transmit tapeworms. The pet’s environment must be treated with a premise spray. Heartworm disease is a serious parasite that infects dogs’ hearts and lungs. It is common in our area and transmitted by mosquitoes. Occult infections make it difficult to notice a problem, but symptoms include coughing, weakness and weight loss. Young puppies six-monthsold and younger should be started on heartworm preventative. Dogs six months and older require a blood test before starting on monthly heartworm preventative. Preventatives are given year round and an annual blood test for heartworm recommended. The best preventative care measure you can do for your pet is to have it spayed or neutered. The procedure is safe, we use same anesthetics used with people. It decreases likelihood of cancers and uterine infections. The process prevents undesirable behaviors such as urine marking, wandering, aggression, and
hyperactivity. We discourage breeding your animal as the pet overpopulation problem is far too great to justify bringing more into the world. The surgery can be done at any age, but it is best to have it done between three and six months of age. Proper dental care is one of the most neglected pet health care needs. Periodontal disease causes bad breath, and serious oral infections. We recommend beginning dental hygiene immediately so that the puppy may become accustom to it. Use pet specific toothpaste. There are also special diets available to clean teeth. A dental exam can determine whether your pet needs preventative dental care such as scaling, polishing, and antibiotics. Grooming and ear cleaning is one of the many responsibility of pet ownership and grooming services are available at our facility. Bathing and brushing reduces itching and skin infections, while
routine clips may help with parasite control. Proper grooming makes your pets more comfortable. Ear cleaning is recommended at two to four week intervals to prevent infections and our hospital staff can instruct you on a scheduled pet grooming program. A balanced diet is vital to your pet’s health. Feed your dog a good quality food such as ProPlan, Iams, or Science Diet. You get what you pay for. Puppies should be fed three to four times a day and they should be given all they will eat within 15 minutes. Do not leave the food out all the time. A correctly sized crate will keep pets out of danger and it is the easiest way to house train the dog. Purchase an airline shipping crate or a metal crate. Keep puppies in a crate when they cannot be under your direct supervision. For more information on crates refer to our house training hints handout.

The “Red, White and Blue” Homecoming celebration held July 3 in Russellville was successful, organizer Sandy Edmisten reported. Edmisten and Lucille Gelter co-chaired the annual festival. Both are members of Community Russellville Action Planners, which sponsored the celebration. While this year's crowd may have been down from previous years, some Edmisten said the crowd still was good, and mentioned fund-raising food sales were successful. Activities began about 8 a.m. with the Fourth Annual Joe Myers Memorial 5Kilometer Run and Walk, which started and ended at the Rambler Center (see separate story). Edmisten reported one of the festival's most popular events, the Fourth of July Parade, was quite successful. “I think the Parade was the biggest we have had.” The procession began at Elementary Russellville School and continued eastward along Main Street (State Route 125).

community with such groups as the Russellville Life Squad and the Russellville Presbyterian Church. A short program followed the Parade in Hope Hall, the Rambler Center's gymnasium. The program was held in the gymnasium for a second straight year because of air conditioning being available. Previous programs had been held outside the Rambler Center, which housed the former Russellville-Jefferson High School. Edmisten mentioned how the gymnasium's air conditioning and new windows, doors, and heating units in the Rambler Center had been made possible by a donation by the late Hope Woods Gano, a 1945 alumna of RJHS for whom Hope Hall is named. She said a plaque honoring Gano will be placed in the gym in the future. The Rev. Bill Kirby, pastor of Faith In God Fellowship near Russellville, offered an invocation and mentioned how those gathered were thankful they could celebrate another Independence Day. Kirby also addressed God in his prayer, “We know you are the source and power behind our independence.” Russellville Mayor Veronica Gelter then led those gathered in the Pledge of Allegiance and spoke briefly about the special holiday they were celebrating that weekend. “This Fourth of July, America will be celebrating 234 years,” Mayor Gelter said. “Two hundred thirty-four years ago, 56 Founding Fathers pledged their lives,

G’town electric rates set to increase CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 - Net monthly rate for energy charge: 8.509 cents per kWh for the first 6,000 kWh with 3.354 cents per kWh charged for the next 300 kWh times kilowatt (demand) and with additional kWhs charged at 2.741 cents each. Minimum charges include $6.06 for single phase, $12.44 for three phases and $124.34 for primary metering. - Net monthly rate for demand charge: no charge for the first 15 kilowatts of demand and $10.95 per kilowatt for each additional kilo-
watt of demand. The ordinance either may receive a reading at each of two upcoming council meetings or may be adopted on its next reading if council members choose to suspend the rules so a third reading won't be necessary. If a third reading is given, council members then may vote whether to adopt the ordinance. It is designed as an emergency ordinance to go into effect immediately upon passage rather than 30 days after passage. Regarding the out-of-vil-
lage water, sewer and garbage collection rate ordinance Cutrell has been authorized to draw up, council members mentioned in discussion one reason for the proposal was to encourage the out-of-village customers to seek annexation into Georgetown. Some out-of-village residents including those currently receiving water, sewer and garbage collection services live in “islands”, which are described as being areas completed surrounded by the village of Georgetown without being located in Georgetown themselves.

Colonoscopies save lives, know the facts FAMILY MEDICINE® COLUMN By Martha A. Simpson, D.O., M.B.A. Associate Professor of Family Medicine Ohio University College of Osteopathic Medicine Question: My 58-year-old brother just had a colonoscopy, and he said the doctor removed some precancerous polyps. This concerns me because our father died from colon cancer. Is there anything my brother and I can do to help prevent it? Answer: Colon cancer does not get the public attention it warrants. Most people do not know that more people die from colon cancer each year than from breast cancer and AIDS combined. It is estimated that more than 102,000 new cases of colon cancer will be diagnosed in the United States in 2010. About 50,000 will likely result in death. Luckily, you have already taken the first step toward preventing colon cancer: informing yourself. Colon cancer forms in the large intestines, and it begins as small benign polyps, like what your brother had. These polyps are precancerous, meaning that they will turn into cancer if left to grow. Had the doctors not removed your brother’s polyps, he would have developed colon cancer. Unfortunately, colon cancer
seems to be genetic, so your family history does increase your risk. Colon cancer is more common in people over the age of 50, but it can also occur at a younger age. People who suffer from a chronic colon disease, such as ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s Disease, are more likely to develop colon cancer. The good news is that there are lifestyle choices you can make to lower your chances of developing this disease. Some are dietary: increasing your intake of fiber and limiting your intake of fat both help. If you smoke, quitting now can reduce your risk. So can moderating your alcohol intake. Diabetes and obesity are associated with higher rates of colon cancer, but fortunately, exercising and eating right are the most important treatment plans for these conditions, as well. As you and your brother well know, an early diagnosis can save your life. Pay attention to any sudden, persistent changes in your bowel habits, especially if your bowels have always been regular before. Examples of such changes include diarrhea or constipation for more than a week, blood in the stool and lasting abdominal pain with gas and bloating. Unfortunately, many people either have no early symptoms, or their symptoms are too mild to seem impor-
tant. This is why one of the most effective ways to prevent colon cancer is to get a colonoscopy when you turn 50. This routine cancer screening typically takes place in a hospital or outpatient surgery facility. You will be instructed to take laxatives and stick to a clear liquid diet the day before the screening in order to empty your intestinal tract. For the screening itself, you will be given a mild sedative, and a very small fiber optic camera will be passed into your colon. If no polyps are found, your next colonoscopy can wait about ten years. If a polyp is found, it can be removed immediately, and then you should talk to your family physician about a schedule for regular colonoscopies. Colon cancer may not be a pleasant thing to talk about, but it is very important to get
the facts about the risks of colon cancer overall and about your personal health. A colonoscopy may not be your idea of a good 50th birthday present, but it will increase your chances of celebrating many more birthdays to come. Family Medicine® is a weekly column.

FINDING GOLD John 5:39: “Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.” Jesus was speaking to the Jewish people and in this verse He gives them a simple instruction. He said: “Search the scriptures...” I have heard people say that they have read the Bible but did not understand it. Well, reading and searching are not the same thing. In the Bible there is an illustration of a woman who lost a coin. She searched everywhere for the coin. She swept the floor, she moved the furniture, and when she found it she told her neighbors to rejoice with her. She did not just casually look through her house. She thoroughly searched it until she found what she was looking for. Although Jesus was speaking to the Jewish people in this passage, it is also good instruction for all of us today. “Search the scriptures...”, the scriptures are the Bible. Therefore, search the Bible. Some people know a little bit about the Bible but usually is just enough to get them in trouble. From time to time I have them trying to correct me. I don’t mind that at all when they are really trying to search the Bible. But occasionally somebody who thinks that they really know what they’re talking about, but don’t will try to correct me when they are as far off as the East is from the West. If you disagree with me or see something there and want to discuss it, that is fine. I enjoy it. But if you’re not exactly right I’ll catch you that quick. I have studied and searched this Bible for well over 50 years. I think of searching the Bible as you would think of a man searching for gold. Men have spent their lives searching for gold but has never once opened a Bible. “Search the scriptures...” for there is something there which is far more precious than gold. Jesus said: “...for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.” He was telling them that because they think that eternal life comes from the scriptures that they should search them because it is the scriptures which testify Him. You see, the life is not in the scriptures; the life is in the person of Jesus Christ who is revealed in the scriptures. The scriptures completely reveal the will of God and the person of Jesus. I under-
B R O A D S H E E T
DR. CHARLES SMITH MT. ORAB BIBLE BAPTIST CHURCH www.bbcmtorab.com stand that Jesus is the living Word and you cannot separate the two. But Jesus Himself is telling them to search the scriptures to find Him. A lot of times we will search but just not thoroughly. I have been married for many years and I depend on my wife a lot; probably more than I should. I will ask her where something is and she will tell me. Then wherever she tells me it is I will go and take a quick look. Of course, I usually don’t find it. She’ll go over and look in the exact same place that I just looked and say: it’s right here. It was right there in front of me and I completely looked over it. “Search the scriptures... they are they which testify of me.” Search the scriptures thoroughly; do not just flip through them. If my wife was not there to find something for me, no doubt, I would search much more thoroughly. But I must admit, it is a lot easier if she gets it for me. And sometimes I think a lot of people do the same thing with the scriptures. They do not want to search; they just want to be told exactly where it is. The only problem with that is that you miss a lot of things that you would have found if you had been doing the searching yourself. How many times have you read the Bible and read right past something then the next time you read it, or even several times after reading it, you will find something that you did not see before? That is why Jesus said to search the scriptures for in them you will find Him. You will even find Him all the way back in the book of Genesis. He is all through the Bible! It is in Him that you will find eternal life and that is far more precious than gold. He said in John 14:6: “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”

Elden Oney, of Hamersville, recently hosted a 50-year reunion with two fellow airmen he met during basic training at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas in 1960. Following basic training, they were transferred to Geiger Air Force Base in Spokane, Washington, serving together there. After locating and communicating with each other over the internet, it was decided that they should reunite to celebrate 50 years of memories. Jerry Stoy, from Montpelier, Ohio, and Gene Straussman, from Seymour, Connecticut, traveled to the Oney home in Hamersville from June 21 to June 23 where the trio enjoyed many hours of reminiscing about military service and shared their lives after service in the Air Force.

Adam Holbrook tackles dual role at Southern State New position combines athletic director and academic adviser As the newest member of the Southern State Community College team, Adam Holbrook will tackle a dual role as athletic director and academic advisor. This newly created position will allow Holbrook to help student-athletes balance their college experience. “I’ll be working to make sure that students are not only successful on the courts and fields, but also in the classroom,” said Holbrook. “And that’s really where the advising component comes in. The plan is to siphon student-athletes to me for advising. I can stay with them and know how they’re doing in their coursework, if they’re having any problems or need advice.” A graduate of Wilmington College with a bachelor’s degree in both sports management and communication arts, Holbrook has worked as an assistant basketball coach for Greeneview Local Schools and media center manager for Wilmington College.

This is really the dream job for me.” Southern State offers scholarship opportunities to student-athletes in men’s and women’s basketball, men’s soccer, baseball, softball and women’s volleyball. The college is a member of the United States Collegiate Association Athletic (USCAA) and the Ohio Athletic Collegiate Conference (OCAC). In Holbrook’s new position at Southern State, he will report jointly to the vice president of student affairs and enrollment management and to the director of advising and retention services. In the past year, Southern State opened the new Advising and Retention Services main office on the college’s Central Campus in Hillsboro, with satellite offices on Fayette Campus in Washington C.H., North
Campus in Wilmington and South Campus in Sardinia. Primary services include assisting students with selection of classes; providing information about academic programs and courses; helping students understand and deal with academic warning and probation; and guiding students in exploring, declaring or changing a major. “Personally, I hold the athletes to a higher standard,” said Holbrook. “I want to see as many academic AllAmericans as athletic AllAmericans.” Originally from Frankfort, Holbrook lives in Wilmington with his wife Emily, a teacher at Sabina Elementary School.

Phantom Regiment's streak of 35 consecutive Drum Corps International championship finals appearances (a record shared with the Concord Blue Devils) is second only to Santa Clara Vanguard out of California. It was also in 1989 that their score of 98.4 was the highest score never to win a World Championship title at that time. SCV won that year with a 98.8, the highest score ever at that time. The corp will be rehearsing at Western Brown High

Learn and Serve alive and well at Eastern The Agricultural Education students taught by Mr. Luke Rhonemus organized a composting and landscaping project for the Eastern District. Beginning in March students began to research and discuss composting – what is composting, how do you compost, what types of composts can be built, what are the benefits of composting; these are just a few of the topics the students researched. Then the students put down the books and picked up the tools. This
class made 5 different model composts, each compost was a different type and had benefits and weaknesses. On June 28 the students then took the classroom to the community by hosting a composting seminar. Participants learned about the different factors of composting and how to get started. The 5 model composts were given away to the participants as door prizes! The Brown County Soil and Water Conservation District also participated in this event
by provided guidance and support. Danielle Thompson also presented a small compost that would be good for beginners that is made of a plastic tote. This event was well received by the community and the students were proud to share their information with everyone for the benefit of our environment. During the 2010-2011 school year, these students will be maintaining a compost the grounds of Eastern High School. The project did not stop there. This class also decided to incorporate landscaping
into the project. The students traveled to Good Seed Farm in Peebles to learn about the steps necessary for beginning a successful landscape project. The students became part of the design process, selected plants and landscaped the front of the new Eastern High School. Both of the projects were funded by Eastern’s Learn and Serve Project GIVE (Greater Instruction Through Volunteer Efforts). The Learn and Serve Grant is a competitive grant through the Ohio Department of Education.

McKeown said ELP “was trying to raise funds up until the last minute, but the clock ran out.” Speaking for ELP, McKeown said “The physical and economic health of Brown County depends on the health of the hospital. We congratulate Falcon and hope that they provide quality health care for years and years to come.” He added “We will do whatever we can to help Falcon make it work”. Paeltz praised the individuals involved in the ELP bid, saying “We’re glad we had people that were willing to step up and try to make a positive difference for healthcare
in Brown County.” The commission voted on July 7 to loan BCRHC 300,000 dollars to assist in operational expenses this week. Details on that are in a separate story in today’s Press. In a related matter, the effort to loan BCRHC 750,000 dollars from the Brown County Solid Waste Board through the Mt. Orab Port Authority is on hold while opinions on the legality of the potential transaction are sought from the Ohio Attorney General’s office. Brown County Prosecutor Jessica Little and Port Authority Attorney Rick Goettke have both submitted questions on whether the loan
is legal and how procedures for securing the loan can be made. A bill authorizing the transaction was signed by Governor Ted Strickland on June 21. House Bill 393 requires that the loan be made within 90 days and paid back within 180 days after being disbursed. That means that if the loan is not made by September 18, it will not be legal after that time, regardless of any opinion by the Ohio Attorney General. Falcon Investments would also presumably have a stake in the process as well, because if the company purchases BCRHC, it would also purchase its debts.

Meeting held to discuss saving VFW Post CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 The Post, if it sold its building, could rent the facility for meetings without having to pay for its constant upkeep and overhead. Conley mentioned the VFW post in Loveland had sold its building to the Loveland Firefighters Association and still used that building to hold fund-raising bingo a couple of nights per week, adding that post is still viable. Dillinger mentioned someone with the Western Brown High School Touchdown Club had approached him about the possibility of providing the post some proceeds from bingo games that group possibly may start up to raise funds. $2,000 Needed Per Month During discussion, Post Past Commander Bill Cornetet
said the Post basically was looking at raising about $2,000 per month for its expenses and commented, “That's only to keep our head out of water up to the chin.” Isbill mentioned how Post 9772 and Ladies' Auxiliary members had received many ideas about saving the Post and said they need to think about them. He said the matter would be discussed further at Post 9772's next regular meeting, which is scheduled at 7 p.m. this Wednesday, July 14. “It's your choice what the Post does in the future,” the current commander said as the special meeting ended. “I will carry out what you request. We will do it together.” Post Serves Community Post 9772 has been at its current location in downtown Mt. Orab since 1952. After its
founding in 1948, it previously had been housed in the 100 Block of North High Street in downtown Mt. Orab. Post 9772 is involved in different activities each year including the Memorial Day Parade and Mt. Orab Cemetery Ceremony, Veterans Recognition Night at the Brown County Fair, some Veterans Day programs at Brown County high schools, and a Santa Claus Night in December in which children in attendance receive goody bags. “In the past we have helped the community; now we need the community to help us,” Isbill said in a July 8 telephone interview. He invited anyone who had any ideas on how to save Post 9772 to contact him at (937) 444-2884 or Rhoades at (513) 722-3830.

The Brown County Press/RITCHIE BUTLER
Eastern’s Amber Yockey blocks a shot during the Lady Warriors annual summer shootout last week.
The Eastern Lady Warriors hosted their annual summer shootout last Wednesday. “Summer shootouts are a chance for everyone to get together and play some games,” said Eastern coach John Burrows. “It gives us an opportunity to give the kids a chance to try some things. It also gives us an idea of combinations and what we can do that might work.” Seven teams participated in the varsity shootout, which ran from 11 a.m. until 6 p.m. The high school and junior high school gyms were utilized throughout the day. Eastern finished the event with a 3-1 record, losing to Georgetown, who finished the day undefeated. Blanchester and Lynchburg-Clay finished 2-1, Ripley won one game and dropped two, while Western Brown and North Adams both went 0-3 for the shootout. “Overall, the shootout was well-played and the kids played hard,” said Burrows. The first-year Eastern varsity coach also added that the Lady Warriors have hosted shootouts this summer for all different age groups lin the program.

number of participants was less than 100 this year. She said the participation number may have been affected by the fact the Run and Walk took place on a Saturday of the Fourth of July Weekend. The Run and Walk was the kickoff event for Russellville's “Red, White and Blue” Homecoming festival that celebrated the Fourth of July one day early this year since the Fourth fell on a Sunday. The event is held in memory of former Russellville-area resident Joe Myers, who was popularly known as the “Biggest Fan” of the Eastern Local High School Lady Warriors Basketball Program. The Run and Walk is among events held each year to raise money for a Scholarship Fund in Myers' memory, and those $1,000 scholarships are awarded each year to graduating EHS senior girls who participated four years in that school's basketball program. Tibbe said two scholarships were awarded this year as well as in 2007 and 2009 while three were awarded in 2008. She reported this year's Walk and Run raised a little more than $1,000, and in addition to the proceeds from that event itself, she mentioned some of those attending donated additional money toward the scholarships. In the Run, which took place along a predetermined course that covered an estimated 3.1 miles, Nathan Hauke of Eagle Township and Nick McAfee of Georgetown received plaques for being the First-Place Finisher and Second-Place Finisher, respectively, among Male Runners Younger Than 40 while Rocky Mitchell of Mt. Orab and Troy Moon of
Sardinia received plaques for being the First-Place Finisher and Second-Place Finisher, respectively, among Male Runners 40 and Older. Hauke had the fastest overall time among all male runners and overall at 15:47. Christine Moon of Sardinia and Emily Thompson of North Bend received plaques for being the First-Place Finisher and Second-Place Finisher, respectively, among Female Runners Younger Than 40 while Mary Jablonski of Green Township and Bonnie of Georgetown Daniel received plaques for being the First-Place Finisher and Second-Place Finisher, respectively, among Female Runners 40 and Older.

The Annual River Sweep on June 19 was a success in Ripley, Higginsport and four Adams County sites, according to Area Coordinator Sam Perin. Scores of volunteers participate in the annual event held at sites along Ohio River banks in the six states that border that river: Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, West Virginia and Pennsylvania. It is organized by the Cincinnati-based Ohio River Valley Water Sanitation Commission. Volunteers remove trash from along Ohio River banks in an effort to make them more attractive and cleaner. Perin, an education specialist with Adams Brown Station in Recycling Georgetown, said about 100
bags for storing trash were handed out to volunteers in Ripley and about 50 were distributed in Higginsport, and a lot of trash was collected in those bags. Some collected items, however, definitely were too large for the bags such as a mattress and an automobile gasoline tank in Ripley and tires at both Ripley and Higginsport. The River Sweep was scheduled to run 9 a.m. to noon that Saturday, but there was a slight delay because of a rain storm. Perin said that storm may have affected the number of volunteers who showed up. He also said volunteers worked in the rain and despite of that precipitation when they knew they could do so safely. Red Oak Ranchers 4-H Club Advisor Vicki Bixler served as Ripley site coordinator and reported about 95 vol-
unteers participated including members of her club, some Huntington Hot Shots 4-H Club members and other community volunteers. Bixler said there was a slight delay in beginning the River Sweep to make sure lightning wasn't in the area. She said the Ripley site effort was “very much so” a success and mentioned there were no glitches other than one youth who cut a finger on a piece of glass. A representative from the Higginsport site couldn't be reached for comment about the efforts that went on there. “I couldn't be more proud of the Brown County participants as well as Adams County,” Perin said of this year's River Sweep efforts. He said the Adams County sites chosen for the River Sweep were Manchester, Wrightsville, the Brush Creek
Campground and Marina, and Rome. While Aberdeen, which is Brown County's other Ohio River village in addition to Ripley and Higginsport, also normally is a cleanup site during the Annual River Sweep, volunteers didn't participate there on June 20. Perin mentioned some cleanup was taking place at that time in Aberdeen's greenspace and park areas near the Ohio River where strong straight winds had caused damage on June 15, and Aberdeen River Sweep personnel as a result had requested for a later date to be selected to clean up the Ohio River's banks there. Perin also acknowledged and thanked Domino's Pizza of Georgetown for providing 50 pizzas to feed River Sweep workers at different sites.

Escrow company ripped off Ohioans Attorney General seeks restitution for Ohioans who lost thousands An Illinois-based company defrauded Ohioans out of thousands of dollars and Ohio Attorney General Richard Cordray is seeking restitution and civil penalties in Franklin County Common Pleas Court. Cordray said that the company and its owners, Derek C. Lurie and Steven Lurie, claimed that they would provide "escrow" services for their customers to pay property taxes or homeowner insurance but collected the money from consumers and never made the payments on their behalf. "Ohioans who contracted with this company lost thousands of dollars that they had set aside to pay taxes and insurance premiums," said Cordray. "In the end, not only were their taxes and premiums not paid, but they had to come up with additional
money out-of-pocket." According to the lawsuit, American Escrow entered into contracts with consumers to provide escrow services and to pay for property taxes and/or homeowner's insurance each year. They divided the approximate annual amount by 12 payments, which they then collected each month from consumers. Consumers were charged a one-time set up fee of up to $250 and a monthly service charge up to $6.50. The lawsuit alleges that the company stopped making payments for some customers in the fall of 2008 but continued to collect money through March 2009. The Attorney General's office has received 89 complaints to date against American Escrow from Ohioans who said they lost
money. Cordray charged American Escrow and its principals with multiple violations of Ohio's Consumer Sales Practices Act, including failure to deliver and unfair and deceptive consumer sales practices. He is also seeking permanent injunctive relief, restitution and civil penalties. Consumers who feel that they are victims of unfair or deceptive business practices should file complaints with Attorney General Cordray's office at www.SpeakOutOhio.gov or (800) 282-0515.

USDA Rural Development Agency State Director Tony Logan today announced that two Ohio regions have been selected to participate in a major initiative aimed at promoting economic development across county borders as part of the USDA’s “Strengthening Economies Together (SET) program. The regions selected include “Buckeye-Foresite”, a region encompassing 23 contiguous counties in Southeastern Ohio. The award will entitle these regions to receive training and technical assistance at no cost from OSU Extension, focusing on developing a regionwide economic development strategy that identifies the region’s key economic assets. Those strategies will then be promoted nationally and internationally, in conjunction with local businesses, nongovernmental organizations, academia, and state and federal agencies. “Ohio was one of only eight states nationally to participate in this pilot project for
a major USDA regional initiative,” said Rural Development State Director Logan. “We are particularly gratified to have these two regions selected because they have already shown a willingness to collaborate across county and political boundaries for the greater good of the region. The days of counties pitted against one another chasing smokestacks are hopefully coming to an end.” Buckeye Foresite includes the counties of Brown, Highland, Ross, Hocking, Perry, Adams, Scioto, Pike, Jackson, Lawrence, Gallia, Vinton, Meigs, Hocking, Athens, Morgan, Washington, Noble, Belmont, Guernsey, Muskingum, Athens and Monroe. Led by the Voinovich School of Leadership and Public Affairs at Ohio University, Buckeye Foresite stakeholders include the Ohio Valley Regional Development Commission, Buckeye HillsHocking Valley Regional Development District, the Southeast Ohio Economic
Development Partnership, the Office of Governor’s American Appalachia, Electric Power Ohio, the Ohio Department of Natural Resources and numerous others in the region. USDA Rural Development's mission is to deliver programs in a way that will support increasing ecoopportunity and nomic improve the quality of life of rural residents. Rural Development provides equity and technical assistance to finance and foster growth in home ownership, business development, and critical community and technology infrastructure. For further information on the SET initiative, contact Debbie Rausch at 614-2552425.

Court freezes Ohio bank accounts of USNVA At the request of Ohio Attorney General Richard Cordray, a judge in Franklin County has issued temporary restraining orders to freeze the Ohio bank accounts of the U.S. Navy Veterans Association (USNVA) and the accounts of those individuals alleged to be affiliated with the organization. An investigation by the Attorney General's Charitable Law section found false and misleading information in the USNVA's registration documents including the names of association officers who appear to be fictional. Records indicate
the organization has collected close to $1.9 million in donations from Ohioans since 2003. "We will continue to take the necessary and appropriate legal steps to ensure that this organization cannot conduct business in Ohio," said Attorney General Cordray. "While they were soliciting contributions with the promise of helping veterans, there appears to be very little evidence that the money was spent on veterans or their families." Earlier this week, courts in Hamilton and Fairfield coun-
O D D
ties granted temporary restraining orders that prohibit the USNVA from soliciting contributions in Ohio or removing any of the contents of two UPS mailboxes located in those two counties and used by the organization as collection points for contributions. Copies of the temporary restraining orders issued by Franklin County Common Pleas Court Judge Kimberly Cocroft and additional background materials are available a t www.OhioAttorneyGeneral.go v/USNavyVetsMaterials.

B R O A D S H E E T E V E N
I recently went through the various tobacco plots that I have out throughout the area. The crop does not look too bad in most areas that have not had standing water. I did see some problems with black shank and fusarium wilt in some areas. I also found some insect damage. Flea Beetles were pretty heavy in some areas, so I thought this reminder from the Kentucky Pest News and Dr. Lee Townsend, UK Tobacco Specialist. Most transplant insecticide applications for tobacco provide excellent control of tobacco flea beetles for the first 3 to 4 weeks that the crop is in the field. After several years of using these treatments, it is easy to forget what can happen if preventive control is not used and the crop is not checked for damage for some time. Tobacco flea beetles hit this crop severely in several areas of a field causing substantial damage before the infestation was detected. Watch for budworm and tobacco hornworm infestations, especially in the earliest set fields. These are the ones generally selected by female moths for egg laying. Both species spend the winter deep in the ground as pupae so they are not affected by the severity of winter weather and survival often is good. There are many options for worm control on tobacco but infestations need to be caught early for best results. Check randomly-selected plants scattered over the field. Budworms will be in the tops of plant, chewing small round holes in leaves and leaving coarse pepper-like droppings. An average of 5 live worms per 50 plants is enough to justify control. Avoid treating when high temperatures cause upper leaves to curl to protect plant buds, and the feeding budworms. The same 5 live worms per 50 plants are used for determining the need for hornworm treatments. These caterpillars will be found in the upper third of the plant. Safety and Health Concerns Harvesting Wheat I realize that this will not be read until after July 4th in most papers, and several acres of wheat will have already been harvested with the weather forecast for the July 4th weekend. On the other hand several farmers are so far behind due to

Why vomitoxin is harmful and how toxic is it? Vomitoxin research on humans is prohibited for legal and moral reasons, but we do know the effects of vomitoxin on animals with similar body systems to humans (such as pigs and primates). Low levels of vomitoxin (0.05 to 0.1 mg/kg body weight) can cause vomiting in pigs – this would be similar to exposing a 175lb personn to 0.0003 ounces of vomitoxin (a VERY small amount!). In humans, scabby grain has been associated with food poisoning symptoms (nausea, abdominal pain, dizziness and fever) 30 minutes after consumption. Long-term and continuous exposure to even lower levels of vomitoxin may cause dangerous reduction in appetite, weight loss, and damage to the gastro-intestinal tract and impair the immune system. Does vomitoxin cause cancer? Vomitoxin has not been reported to cause cancer. However, scabby wheat (and moldy corn) may contain other toxins that are just as harmful as or even more harmful to humans and animals than vomitoxin. Some of these other toxins do cause cancer.

How do I know if I am being affected by vomitoxin? Quite often scabby grain will contain multiple molds and toxins. As such, symptoms of mycotoxicosis (disease caused by mycotoxins in humans and animals) usually result from the combined effects of these toxins, and are often due to the ingestion of contaminated food products. Skin and eye irritations are definitely topical symptoms of overexposure, but for more serious concerns, laboratory exams and a medical doctor’s opinion will be needed. Some symptoms can be confused with allergic reactions. What about inhaling vomitoxin? Vomitoxin is not found “freely floating” in the air. However, it is present in dust particles from wheat chaff and grain present in elevators, bins, seed houses, grinding facilities, etc. A dust mask should be worn whenever handling contaminated grain. There is more information about Dust Mask Protection from Wheat Dust in the C.O.R.N newsletter, with information on the health effects associated with the inhalation of dust particles. You can access the C.O.R.N. newsletter online, or stop by your local OSU Extension Office. In Brown Co. we are located on the fairgrounds, or call me at (937) 3786716. Handling scabby grain with bare hands? Although mycotoxins are of greatest concern when ingested with contaminated food products, some toxins, including vomitoxin, can be

What are the precautions for harvesting grain with scab? An air-conditioned combine cab with appropriate filters cuts down exposure to dust, and consequently, vomitoxin at harvest. It is important to note that the chaff and other parts of the wheat head contain much higher levels of vomitoxin than the grain itself. The scab fungus infects and spreads through these tissues first as the grain is developing in the field. Dust from chaff containing vomitoxin may be more harmful than dust from ground grain. Do I still need to use gloves and masks in the seed house? Yes. It would seem reasonable to think that the problem will decrease once you leave the field, since lots of scabby kernels and most of the contaminated chaff, straw, and dust are left out there. However, if we consider the time spent in the seed house handling scabby grain, the exposure to mold and vomitoxin may be just as high, if not higher.

absorbed through the skin. And remember, vomitoxin may not be the only toxin present in moldy grain. Gloves (preferably latex/nitrile) should be worn and handlers should wash hands and other exposed skin thoroughly after handling molds grain. The biggest danger is bringing hands that have touched scabby grain to your mouth. What about straw from scabby fields, will it contain mycotoxins? Yes. Straw from scabby fields does contain vomitoxin and other mycotoxins. Results from studies done at the University of Illinois (with laboratory tests done at North Dakota State University) confirmed that vomitoxin levels may exceed 2 ppm in wheat straw, even in field treated with fungicide. As a result, the same caution exercised when handling and feeding scabby grain should be exercised with dealing with moldy straw. Get the straw tested before using it for silage or bedding. The risk of contamination is much lower when straw is used for bedding; however, you should still avoid straw with very high levels of vomitoxin, since it is impossible to tell how much the animals will munch on the straw.

the rainy May and June, that some may not have harvested a single grain yet. This is information I wish I could have put in your hands sooner. For those of you who use e-mail, you may have seen this a few days ago in the C.O.R.N. newsletter. It was written by Pierce Paul, Katelyn Willyerd. If you have e-mail, and would like to be added to mailing lists that would give you updates on issues like this, simply send me a request to be added to the mailing list. My e-mail address is dugan.46@osu.edu Ohio’s wheat harvest is in full swing and concerns about vomitoxin are being raised, especially in areas hit by head scab. Data from our field survey showed that this year’s scab incidence ranged from 3 to 60%, so fields with the highest incidence will likely be the ones with the highest levels of vomitoxin. However, scab levels in the field are not always the best predictor of toxin levels in harvested grain. Vomitoxin can only be determined by appropriate sampling and testing. Harvesting, sampling, and testing expose combine operators and grain handlers to moldy grain and vomitoxin. Early reports coming in from across the state indicate that in some of the worst areas, vomitoxin levels are as high as 9 ppm, and close to 3 ppm in less affected areas. The following Questions and Answers explain the risk of vomitoxin to humans and highlights safety precautions.

Ohio EMS Launches State Fire Awards Program The Division of Emergency Medical Services’ (EMS) Office of Fire Services is seeking nominations for the Ohio Fire Awards Program, a newly established state awards program to recognize outstanding achievements in Ohio’s fire community and honor those whose accomplishments rise above the day-to-day excellence in fire training, education and safety. “Each day in Ohio, firefighters save lives and perform countless noteworthy acts to their community,” said Ohio EMS Executive Director Richard Rucker. “These awards are a tribute to those individuals and organizations whose overall contributions go beyond their basic duties and responsi-
bilities and who represent the finest traditions of our profession.” Categories for the state awards include: Ohio Volunteer Fire Department of the Year/Ohio Fire Officer of the Year/Ohio Fire Educator Lifetime Achievement, Ohio Fire Service Instructor of the Year; and, Ohio Fire Prevention Educator of the Year. Award criteria, eligibility rules and nomination instructions are described at www.ems.ohio.gov under the Applications and Forms section. Deadline for nominations is August 13, 2010. The Division of EMS will honor award recipients during National Fire Prevention Week, October 3-9, 2010.
Low sodium levels can leave you weak Question: Last week I felt unusually tired after exercising in the heat. I went to the emergency department, and they said my salt levels were too low. They gave me IVs, and I feel fine now. They said I should drink more when I exercise but they didn’t say what to drink. How did this happen? Answer: What you are describing, low salt or sodium, is called hyponatremia. Sodium is actually an electrolyte in your body that helps to regulate the amount of water in your system. Interestingly, if you drink too much water, your sodium levels can actually drop. This is why many sports drinks advertise the electrolytes in their product. If you have a history with hyponatremia, I would definitely recommend you consume a sports drink before or during your work out, especially in the heat. There are three types of hyponatremia that differ in terms of water level. Hypervolemic hyponatremia occurs when too much water in the blood dilutes the concentration of salt. Often liver or kidney problems contribute to this. In euvolemic hyponatremia, water levels are normal, but
sodium is low, often due to certain medications or chronic health conditions. Finally, hypovolemic hyponatremia is characterized by a deficiency in both sodium and water in the blood. This last one may be what you suffered from, as it often occurs when people exercise without replenishing their fluid electrolytes. Low sodium levels can cause the cells in your body to swell, especially those in the brain, which can set off more serious medical problems. One of the first symptoms of hyponatremia is mental confusion or a similar rapid change in your mental status. You can also become weak, as you mentioned. Patients with hyponatremia frequently report muscle cramps and severe nausea, sometimes to the point of vomiting. Besides exercise, a number of factors can cause or complicate hyponatremia. Medications, like antidepressants, diuretics and some seizure medications are one. Low levels of thyroid hormones can also reduce sodium levels, as can liver and kidney problems. Other conditions, such as severe burns and exces-
sive vomiting and diarrhea can result in electrolyte imbalances. Typically, when you go to the doctor with symptoms of low sodium, your physician will conduct laboratory tests to detect the levels of sodium in your system. Most often, blood and/or urine specimens are obtained to check sodium levels. Treatment in the emergency department involves replacing your sodium through intravenous therapy, as you described. Of course, anyone who’s taken a trip to the emergency room over this knows that prevention is always the best way to treat hyponatremia. If you have a low thyroid hormone levels or a similar condition that could lead to hyponatremia, or if you take medications that have been associated with hyponatremia, you should discuss your exercise habits and fluid requirements with your family physician. If you are prescribed medications in the future, always ask your doctor or pharmacist whether or not they might cause hyponatremia. When you exercise, as stated earlier, try not to over-replace your fluid loss with water alone.
Shingles not contagious for most Question: Recently my 15year-old daughter got shingles while we were on vacation visiting relatives. Everyone was worried about catching it; they thought every bug bite was the beginning of shingles. We were forced to return home early, because no one wanted to be around us. No one else got shingles, and my child is fine now. Did we do the right thing by leaving early to keep the grandparents and others from getting shingles? Answer: Although your family’s concern was doubtlessly well-intended, the only people potentially at risk at your family gathering would have been any children who have never had chickenpox and never been vaccinated against chickenpox -- not the grandparents. The herpes zoster virus that causes shingles is related to chickenpox, or the varicella zoster virus (VZV). Though shingles is not contagious to people who have had chickenpox before, it does originate in people –- usually adults -- who have had chickenpox. That is because the VZV permanently
stays in your system after you recover from the chickenpox, typically in a dormant stage that does not make you sick. When the VZV reactivates, it causes shingles. It is not known what stimulates the virus to reactivate, but it is most likely to occur in people over the age of 50, and in people whose immune system is weakened by either chronic disease or chemotherapy. There is also a remote possibility that the tendency to develop shingles runs in families. Shingles is not, itself, contagious. However, someone who has never had chickenpox and never received the chickenpox vaccine may catch chickenpox from a person with active shingles. The virus can spread through airborne droplets either from the rash itself or from sneezing or coughing, much like any viral illness. Shingles does not usually start as a rash, but it is when the rash appears that most people go to the doctor. Like many viral illnesses, the person becomes ill and can spread the virus before they notice any specific symptoms. Shingles
usually starts out with mild flulike symptoms: headache, fatigue and sometimes a mild fever. Pain or abnormal sensations usually precede the appearance of the rash by a day or so. The rash is most common on the trunk and is limited to one side of the body, however, the rash can appear anywhere on the body. If begun early enough, antiviral medication can help the rash heal more quickly than it would without any treatment. However, medication is not very helpful when started more than 72 hours after the appearance of symptoms. There is a vaccine on the market to help prevent shingles, and it is recommended for people over the age of 60. Once someone gets shingles, they should avoid unvaccinated children who have never had chickenpox. If children are around, keep the rash covered and follow the rules regarding the spread of any virus: cover your mouth when you sneeze, and frequently wash your hands to help prevent the virus from spreading to a chickenpox-susceptible person.

Some very happy folks have been seen leaving the Magic Waters Theatre parking area following performances of “Sherlock Holmes’ American Cousin in the Adventure of the Walking Corpse,” because they are heading home with some very nice prizes. (Folks who figure out “whodunit” get their choice of many great gifts). Unlike other such promotions, the Magic Waters’ audience actually gets to take their pick of the available prizes, so they are not going home with some gaudy figurine, etc., but with something that they really want. There are prizes for all age groups, too. (Often the
kids are better detectives than their parents). July 9, 10 and 11 are the final performances of this very clever murder mystery by Tony Copper. The Friday and Saturday shows start at 8 p.m. and the Sunday show starts at 7 p.m. with pre-show magic performed by Boonie the Magician for nearly an hour prior. Folks who order pre-show picnic dinners also need to arrive one hour before show time to have time to enjoy them before the show starts. Upcoming at Magic Waters, starting July 16 will be Tony Copper’s “Hansel & Gretel and the Book of
Spells,” an updated version of the family favorite, now with Hansel and Gretel turning the tables and becoming witchhunters. This children’s show will play July 16, 17, 18, 23, 24, 25, 30, 31 and Aug. 1. The season will close with two weekends of William Shakespeare’s “Hamlet,” adapted to the Magic Waters’ stage by Tony Copper. Hamlet runs Aug. 13, 14, 15, 20, 21, 22, 27, 28 and 29. For more information or to order pre-show dinners, call (937) 365-1388. A visit to the web page is also recommended at www.highlandohio.com/magicwaters.
