Duke Energy files complaint against S. Bryer Cable By Martha Jacob The Brown County Press Duke Energy has filed a complaint in the Brown County Court of Common Pleas against S. Bryer Cable T.V. Corporation, of Cochranton PA. Bryer allegedly has failed to pay pole attachment rental fees owed to Duke Energy as a location in Brown County. Duke has charged Bryer in one count of breach of contract and one count of unjust

enrichment. On October 13, 2006 Duke Energy entered into a master license agreement with Bryer. Duke Energy permitted Bryer to have cable television facilities on utility poles in the village of Mt. Orab. The agreement provided for an initial pole attachment fee of $4.25 per total number of attachments on the pole, including monthly interest on any unpaid portion. The annual fee has now increased

to $6.40 per attachment. Duke Energy invoiced Bryer on January 18, 2008, January 26, 2009, January 20, 2010 and January 25, 2011. The agreement made between the two said that Bryer agreed to pay all billings within 30 days. According to the complaint, in 2008, Bryer complained that the number of attachments invoiced were incorrect, but failed to follow the dispute notification procedure and failed to pay the

disputed invoices of the agreement. However, Duke Energy evaluated the dispute and found that the invoices were accurate. On April 28, 2011 Duke Energy gave written notice to Bryer that it was in default since Bryer failed to pay the invoices for pole attachment rental fees. Count one, breach of contract states that Bryer has a contractual obligation and agreement to pay the annual pole attachment rental fees

within 30 days of invoicing. Bryer has failed to pay the invoices totaling $22,842.15 and has breached the agreement. Bryer is liable for the full amount of the invoices plus late fees at 10 percent per annum under the agreement. Count 2 is for unjust enrichment. According to the complaint Bryer has occupied Duke Energy’s utility poles from the inception of the agreement and benefitted from its use. Bryer was fully

aware of the terms and conditions of the agreement. Duke Energy Ohio, Inc., demands judgment against Bryer Cable T.V. Corp in the amount of $22,842.15 together with interest and costs and any and all other relief to which Duke Energy may be entitled either in law or in equity. A hearing has been scheduled for 1:30 p.m., September 8, 2011 at the Brown County Court of Common Pleas.

Brown County unemployment rates increase .7 percent By Martha Jacob The Brown County Press The unemployment rate in Brown County went up .7 points for the month of June, according to the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services. The jobless rate in Brown County was 10.3 percent in the month of May and now stands at 11.0 percent.

According to Deborah Plymail, director of the Adams-Brown Workforce Connections, the new figures should not be considered a drastic change. “There could be a lot of reasons for this increase in unemployment in Brown County,” Plymail said. “There were some employees let go when the Brown County General Hospital sold, plus a

lot of people who have been on unemployment have simply stopped looking for jobs. “There are many factors that effect those numbers.” Plymail also said that Adams County unemployment went up a full point to 13.0 percent. “The statewide numbers are currently 8.5 percent,” she added. “But we shouldn’t look CONTINUED ON PAGE 10

Around June 23, 2011, Pedigo knowingly sold or offered to sell heroin, a felony of the fifth

degree and did knowingly make, obtain, possess or use drug abuse instruments, a second degree misdemeanor; • Penny Adkins, 41, Aberdeen, was indicted on one count of conspiracy (illegal manufacture of drugs) a felony of the second degree.

Ripley prepared for 2012 bicentennial, upcoming breast cancer awareness run The Brown County Press/MARTHA B. JACOB

A yellow caution tape encircles the First Presbyterian Church in Ripley forcing its members to temporarily meet at the Masonic Lodge in Ripley after large colonies of bats were discovered living in the loft of the building.

Congregation of Civil War Era church moves temporarily By Martha Jacob The Brown County Press The First Presbyterian Church of Ripley has survived the elements since the end of the Civil War. It has stood proudly on a plot of ground which President George Washington gave to the engineer he hired to survey the beautiful land next to the Ohio River. But now, the old church building is facing a different kind of challenge with the discovery of a huge colony of bats in the loft of the church.

Nathan and Thelma Poff have been members of the First Presbyterian Church for over 50 years and have witnessed many changes throughout the years. But nothing has effected the small congregation quite like the effects of this tiny mammal. “Our church holds so much history,” said Thelma Poff. “This structure has been standing in the same spot since 1867, but the Presbytery have met at the same location since organizing in 1816. “It is one of ten churches

event which benefits the Susan G. Komen for the Cure fund. “This is a breast cancer awareness event,” Germann began, “I am looking for sponsors and donations for this. We will have at least 500 tee shirts for the event and would like to offer logo’s for the shirt to businesses and other organiza-

tions.” Germann told council that $200 would buy a large logo for the shirt, $100 would buy a small logo and a $50 donation would purchase the name placed on the front of the shirt. “We are working with Police Chief Harvey Bowman as well

built in the mid 1800’s. It was built from bricks made right here in Ripley.” Poff speaks of her church with the utmost respect and love, and fears for it’s future with the recent discovery of the bat infiltration. “Some of the old original gas lights can still be seen in the church, as well as the old coal bin once used for the coal-burning furnace,” Poff said. “Through the years we’ve made some improvements.

The cast and crew filming Revelation Trail will be coming to Mt. Orab, on Aug. 3 - 5. This movie will shoot in multiple locations with The Old West Festival permanent village in Mt. Orab being the Ohio location and they are looking for some extras, ‘Zombies’ that is. The village was built to look like Dodge City in 1878 and will work perfectly for this movie. Revelation Trail is the col-

laborative effort of filmmakers, artist and web talent from around the country, each contributing their own experiences and strengths to tell the story of the undead rising in late 19th century America. There is death, blood and action. But most importantly, there is a glimpse at the human condition with each of the characters in Revelation Trail.

Holden and Betty Rowlands presented Hill with a beautiful throw featuring pictures of the new and the old Fayetteville-Perry school buildings. In other business at the meeting the final report for fiscal year 2011 was approved by the board, as was the SETBAL Program for closing the fiscal year 2012. A contract with the Ohio State Auditors office for ‘GAAP’ Audit for one year was approved at an annual cost of $4,800. “Last year and for the past three years this GAAP Audit has cost us $7,700,” explained board treasurer, Jo Anna Carraher. “It’s good that we were able to negotiate down. “So all total, we will be saving $11,400 this year and next year we will take another look at it.” The board heard a legislative Report from Hill who gave an update on Stan Heffner being named the Ohio State Superintendent of Public Instruction. He also stated that the repeal of Senate Bill 5 has received enough signatures to be placed on the November ballot. During the public participa-

tion portion of the meeting, Jess Milligan, a resident of Fayetteville approached the board about an issue he was concerned with in regard to the way board meetings were operated. “I’ve been coming to these board meetings and you advertise that you want public participation,” Milligan began, “Well, I sit here and hear you all going through the business and I’m sure it’s routine business to you, but we don’t know what you’re talking about. “And my suggestion is, you do a power-point presentation so we can see what it is that you see, and what you’re approving and make it a lot more interesting and informative and a whole lot more transparent.” Milligan asked that the board consider his proposal because the public doesn’t know the specifics. “I don’t know what you’re approving,” he continued. “I very seldom hear anybody disapprove, so that makes me wonder sometimes, what is going on. It would be much nicer and more informative for everyone to see what the business of the board is.” Milligan thanked the board for hearing what he had to say. The board entered into an executive session to hear from several other members of the community and one teacher. The executive session lasted approximately one and a half hours. Following the executive session during the superintendent’s report Hill told the board that his time at Fayetteville-Perry Local Schools had been a positive

experience in his life. He also told the board that he had accepted a position with the Hamilton County Educational Service Center as a Race to the Top Coordinator for specified schools in Southwest Ohio. Hill also reminded the board that three board of education seats were open and that the deadline for returning petitions to the board of elections was August 10. White updated the board on the scoreboard advertising project and that the anchoring of the concession stand has been inspected and approved by Clermont County and that the bleacher installation for the complex is set to be completed by September 7 this year. The board took a short recess to thank Mr. Hill for his years of service, providing refreshments and presenting Hill with a gift blanket. Following a second executive session, the board took the following actions: • professional day requests were approved; • approved continuation of reduction in force of Barbara Dye, due to a reduction of Title Funds; • approved continuation of reduction in force of Bridget Finkbeiner and Jackie Holden due to reduction in Title Funds; • approve re-employment of

The Apportionment Board, established by Article 11 of the Ohio Constitution, consists of the governor, secretary of state, auditor of state and two additional members, one appointed by the majority party and one appointed by the minority party of the

Ohio General Assembly. *** Kasich signs HB 78 Recently Gov. John R. Kasich signed House Bill 78 (Uecker, Roegner) into law. The bill prohibits abortions after the viability of an unborn child is confirmed and requires physicians to test fetuses for viability at 20 weeks into pregnancy or

later. If viability is confirmed, an abortion cannot be performed except in the case of a medical emergency or if the mother has a serious health condition. “Life is a gift from God and one way that we express our ongoing gratitude for it is by respecting it. This bill does that in a very fundamental way and I’m proud to have signed it into law.”

Georgetown Exempted Schools prepare for 2011-2012 school year, introduces new principal Dr. Jennifer Wilcox attended her first Georgetown Exempted Village School District Board of Education Meeting, July 20, after recently being named the new Georgetown Elementary School Principal. Wilcox brings with her seven years experience as a special education teacher at Kettering City Schools. She has also been an interpreter in several schools for students who were deaf. “I am looking for an apartment right now,” Wilcox told the board Wednesday night, “I am getting excited about the new school year.” Wilcox has been involved with several leadership programs including the Buckeye Association of School Administrator’s Emerging Leaders Institute, as well as a district leadership program, Leaders Emerging and Developing (LEAD). She has also received two teaching awards, the Kettering Outstanding Teacher Award and the Franklin B. Walter Educator Award. “I will be able to provide formal and informal consultations for students with behavioral issues and special needs,” Wilcox added. She received a Ph.D from Capella University in January 2011. In other business at the meeting Superintendent Tom Durbin told the board that

each year the Race to the Top team must submit a report to the board. “Each year the team has to do a ‘Scope of Work’ which outlines budgets, activities, how funds are spent and what the team’s plans for the future are,” Durbin began, “In their second year the team had to submit this information to the department, and it was approved on the first round. That’s really something, because not everybody’s report gets approved on the first go-round.” Durbin reported that preparation on the school buildings for the upcoming school year were right on schedule as far as waxing floors and cleaning the buildings.

He also said he had received a letter in regards to schools times, and he was currently holding interviews for a first grade position. “I am getting ready for the approval or denial for open enrollment students,” Durbin said. “With the numbers we set for class size limits, I have to make a tough decision. “In first grade, which has three sessions, class sizes with open enrollment is 26, without open enrollment, 25 students. Same for second grade. Third grade 31 students in the class with open enrollment and 28 students without it. “The numbers up to sixth grade range from 26 to 32 students per class room. “What I’ve decided to do, if it’s okay with the board, is approve everyone who attended last year and not approve any new students. That will amount to about eight new students total. Board president, Ralph Sininger brought up the fact that the school would lose approximately $6,000 on each of those students turned away. However, Durbin said the board had set the limit on students and his plan was the only way to stick to the class room limitations. Board member Ray Virost stated that a lot could change with those numbers with another month before school begins. During board treasurer, Eric Toole’s report the final financial report for fiscal year 2011 was presented and approved by the board show-

“Hey Lady...ever heard of a bib?”

B R O A D S H E E T E V E N

Ohio has no shortage of potential employees It’s hard to believe that even during challenging economic times, there are numerous employers across our state with vacant jobs that they can’t fill. According to the State of Ohio, there are as many as 70,000 open positions for which Ohio companies are unable to find qualified workers. America has a unique opportunity to address the skills gap that prevents hardworking Americans from finding good jobs and prohibits eager-to-grow companies from hiring the skilled workers needed to expand. Many of these employers are in high-growth industries like

SHERROD BROWN biotechnology, clean energy, information systems, and advanced manufacturing. The skills gap denies workers new opportunities and undermines our nation’s economic competitiveness. How can we close the skills gap? We can start by going directly to the source of Ohio’s economic might: our skilled workers and innovative businesses.

Since 2007, I have convened more than 170 roundtable discussions at small businesses, manufacturing plants, schools, houses of worship, and community centers in all of Ohio’s 88 counties. During these listening sessions, I’ve heard about local challenges and possible solutions from community and business leaders, workers, and entrepreneurs on ways to strengthen Ohio’s economy. With guidance from local communities, I’m working to pass legislation to fill the gap between available jobs and our nation’s workforce. It starts by tailoring local workforce development efforts to meet the needs of local busi-

nesses in a regional cluster. Look at the economic development generated around Massachusetts Route 128, which is now a haven for high-tech businesses. California’s Silicon Valley is another success story. In each of these places, businesses were able to take advantage of a locally-based and highlytrained workforce. Over time, these areas have only continued to leverage existing resources to attract more businesses and employees. The Strengthening Employment Clusters to Organize Regional Success (SECTORS) Act would use existing federal funds to proCONTINUED ON PAGE 5

Letters to the Editor Reader questions Sardinia Founders Day situation Dear Editor, After reading the front page of The Brown County Press, June 12, 2011 issue I had to read it a few more times. I've had a few family members and some friends discuss the statements made by Mr. Greg Cassidy, the current Chairman of Sardinias Founders Day Festival that was canceled this year due to lack of funding for such a annual event. When I read one particular statement that's when my wheels started spinning again and I let some people get to me and urge me to write this letter, which I'm doing to voice my opinion. Mr. Cassidy said that the 2010 Founders Day was one of the best ever, but was still $3500.00 in debt a year later. This is my reason for saying that in my own personal way

of thinking that I feel that the few remaining members of the current Founders Day Committee should step down before they cause Founders Day to become a thing of the past completely. The excuses that were stated were too easy to come by when the complete problem was all in the committee's hands and been being taken care of and solved. The committee from years before Mr. Cassidy's committee overcame se veral hardships and kept having an annual Founders Day every year and that was even with several thousands of dollars being stolen from the committee. They didn't make excuses! They just got more organized and found ways of solving the problems. The present committee started with several members, but for some rea-

son several dropped out. Must have been some kind of problem that was never solved? Reading on in that article and it's stated that there was no Founders Day in 2005, but I can't find anyone who agrees with that? The bustling community part I'll agree with, but it hasn't been bustling for years and Founders Day still went on. I don't remember three pharmacies either??? The $5000.00 check from a local car dealer may not been as local as thought either from what I was told. Mr. Cassidy said that they tried to have some fundraisers, but where and when were they? I seen the car show advertised when it got rained on, but it didn't have a lot of a chance anyway because

Hillsboro and Ceasars Creek both had one the same day with plenty of advertisement. In October of 2010 they had a supposed to be Haunted House in the old school. Once again, no advertisements getting out to the public and if you came to the center of town and followed the sign you'd end up in Mt. Orab. Mr. Cassidy's last paragraph says that he and other members will continue to have faith, but it's going to take a lot more than faith and doing nothing to get Founders Day revived again. Let your record speak. One year and $3500.00 in debt and the second year being canceled? It's time for a complete new start as I can see it !!! This is just my opinion. Patrick T. Cahall, Sr. Sardinia

I’m looking forward to covering the Brown County Fair. I’ve heard nothing but good things about it. I covered the Highland County Fair for many years and have some great memories of my experiences. However, some of my memories are not as good as others. The paper I worked for at the time always had a booth set up where people could pick up old pictures that had appeared in our paper and had been left there. I could usually be found sitting at our booth. I especially enjoy peoplewatching. I have to chuckle at some of the hairdos the young people wear and wonder if they’ve actually looked in a mirror. But then my mind drifts back to when I shaved off one side of my own hair in protest of the Vietnam War back in 1969. What was I thinking? I remember one afternoon I got to the fairgrounds early to get my booth all set up for the noon traffic. Afterwards I walked around the fairgrounds trying to decide what my first “fair-food-feast” was going to be. So many choices, so little time. I finally went with the barbecued pork sandwich from J.T’s Barbecue Pit, a fair favorite of everyone. And, I got some deep-fried pickles

PLAIN & SIMPLE MARTHA JACOB and a bottle of water, an excellent choice, I must say. I spent the day walking around taking pictures of goats, cows, chickens and rabbits. I love catching kids off guard and snapping their pictures for the paper. The unposed photos are the best photos. I enjoy talking to passerby’s. Our booth was located in a very busy part of the fairgrounds, so I got to visit with a lot of the business owners and county employees. I like seeing how people act when they are out of their element. It allows me to view them in a different light. Some people are the same no matter where you meet them, while others show a different side when they are away from their jobs. In election years I liked watching local candidates mingle among the people as they plead their case to any voter who will listen. I made the rounds all over the fairgrounds that day, snapping pictures, chatting with old friends, meeting new ones and enjoying the food. At around 7 o’clock that CONTINUED ON PAGE 5

What Do You Think? Ohio schools have enhanced its lunch menus to make them more nutritious, adding more fruits and vegetables. Should individual schools have control over what a students packs from home?

No, I believe we need to have some control over our children's lives and our own. Carol LaPlante, Lake Waynoka

Not really, that should be left up to the parents to decide. Eleanor Sparks, Mt. Orab

You know what I think? Parents should be in charge of their kids and what they take for lunch. Jeanine Anderson, Russellville

I used to work at a day care, and that can be a problem when parents just pack chips and cookies and nothing else. Maybe schools should have some control over it. Stephanie Shoemaker, Mt. Orab

No, that decision should be up to the parents. Jennifer Harcourt, Georgetown

What a student brings from home to eat is not the schools responsibility. Ashley Neille, Mt. Orab

The Pregnancy Resource Center announces its 19th annual Walk-for-Life on Saturday, September 17, 2011 at the St. Michael’s Catholic Church in Mt. Orab. The PRC Walk-for-Life serves a two-fold purpose. One—it raises the community’s awareness of the effects of abortion on all involved: mother, father, child and the entire extended family. Two—it serves as a fund-raiser to provide needed funds to continue providing services for the families of infants and toddlers in Brown County and surrounding communities. Participants in the walk will receive prizes for participating, prizes will also be awarded to those who collect the most money in youth, teen, adult male & adult female categories. The PRC also sponsors a Poster Contest. Prizes are awarded based up on pro-life message and walk theme. You may contact the PRC (937-378-6853) for more details on the Poster Contest. The Pregnancy Resource Center is a non-profit life affirming organization that provides services for women in the midst of unplanned pregnancies. The mission of the PRC is to provide the opportunity for women to keep and parent their baby. Services available include free pregnancy tests, information regarding fetal development and choices available for women and families in the midst of unexpected pregnancies. Families are given an opportunity to earn items such as a car seat, crib, blankets, a “shopping trip” at our Baby

Boutique and many other needed supplies and baby equipment. Services are available to all expectant mothers and families with infants and toddlers in Brown County and surrounding communities. Families may come to the PRC to receive emergency supplies of diapers, wipes, formula and baby food. Also available is clothing for size Newborn to 4 Toddler. Both mothers and fathers are invited to take advantage of PRC services, as are grandparents and others who may have custody of infants and toddlers. Clients who participate in and complete our “Sweet Dreams” Program will receive a new crib, mattress and bedding for their baby.

Although all services are provided free of charge, clients participate in parenting and relationship classes in order to earn the items needed. This gives them the knowledge that they earned what they received and they also receive important parenting skills. The PRC receives no government funds: city, state or federal. It is funded entirely with private donations, and fundraisers. Donations of cash as well as baby supplies such as diapers, wipes, formula, baby shampoo, lotion & wash are always welcome. New or gently used baby equipment such as infant and toddler car seats, strollers, swings, etc. are also appreciated. The PRC is locat-

ed at 852 Mt. Orab Pike in Georgetown, Ohio. It is open on Mondays and Thursdays from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM; Tuesdays from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM and Wednesdays from 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM. Clients may call for an appointment (937-378-6853) during regular office hours. Walk-ins are also welcome, but those with an appointment take priority. Members of the Brown County communities are invited to join the PRC in supporting the needs of expectant mothers and families with infants and toddlers. You may call the PRC to receive information about how to join the Walk-for-Life.

Hey Lady CONTINUED FROM PAGE 4 evening, my daughter showed up with my three grandsons to keep me company at my booth. My daughter sat down beside me and started to ask me where I wanted to eat supper. She looked over at me rather strangely, squinted her eyes and said, “What do you have all over you face, mom?” I dug through my purse for a mirror and there...in all its glory...was barbeque sauce all around my mouth, in my eyebrow and strung all through my hairline where I had pushed my hair off my face. All day, since noon, I had been walking around the fairgrounds with dried barbeque sauce all over my face. Did all those people I talked to all day not see garbage on my face? Did they now once consider telling me that I looked like a two-year old? Apparently not! I struggled to remember who I had talked to that day. Well I recalled two of the commissioners, one state representative from the area, at least five candidates running for one office or another and my preacher. What a day. Then, when I got home, my husband asked me if I had a good time and got some good pictures. As I began to tell him about my horrible day, he interrupted me and said, “Hey, Babe, did you know your blouse is buttoned up wrong? I hope it hasn’t been that way all day.” “It would matter,” I said, collapsing on the couch, “trust me, no one noticed my blouse.”

development. These are successful clusters that build around a skilled labor force. Ohio can be just as strategic in pursuing new economic development opportunities and providing new workforce skills training. And the results will help to improve our state’s infrastructure and create new jobs. According to a multi-year, random assignment impact study conducted by a nonpartisan and nonprofit public interest research group, participants in sector‐based training programs had higher earnings compared to other workers. According to the report, sector-based workers averaged 18.3 percent higher earnings – about $4,500 more than a control group during the 24-month period of the study. Ohio has no shortage of eager, hardworking potential employees. The SECTORS Act creates partnerships between educators, industry, and workforce training boards to ensure that workers have the right skills to get hired in high-tech, good-paying jobs. And by ensuring a skilled, local workforce, we can attract employers in high-growth industries.

U.S. Senator Rob Portman (R-Ohio) had a chance to meet with Tessa Pinkerton on Tuesday, July 26, 2011, one of only two children chosen nationally to lay a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknowns yesterday morning as part of the Professional Landcare Networks’ “Renewal and Remembrance” annual beautification project in Washington, DC. Tessa, an eleven-year old native of Mt. Orab, Ohio, was selected based on an essay she wrote on the national importance of Arlington National Cemetery. “I’m glad to see Tessa take an interest in our nation’s rich history and participate in the ceremony for the Tomb of the Unknowns,” said Portman. “To be one of only two individuals selected is a distinct honor, and she has made both her hometown and the state of Ohio proud.”

From Tessa’s winning essay: “I feel Arlington Cemetery is important to our country because the people who are in the military spend time away from their families just to help our country. My great grandfather fought in World War I and another great grandfather served in World War II. My grandfather also served in Vietnam, so many of their friends are probably buried there.” The rest of Tessa’s essay can be found here. Portman has made it a priority in the Senate to make his office open and accessible for constituents wishing to visit and voice their concerns, hosting weekly coffees with constituents while the Senate is in session.

At this point in the growing season, some gardeners may have stopped taking a daily walk around their landscape and Vegetable garden. I have to admit that sometimes the only daily inspection of flower beds takes place on the way to the mailbox and back! Several species of Butterflies are enjoying the Coneflowers, Butterfly Bushes and Catmint. I have only seen a few Japanese Beetles so far, and the bees are buzzing everywhere. In the latest edition of the Ohio State Extension’s Buckeye Yard and Garden Line, we are reminded to check for the dreaded Bagworm (Thyridopteryx ephemeraeformis). Undetected bagworm populations are beginning to severely damage host plants upon which they are feeding. This is especially true on hosts such as arborvitae, juniper and spruce. Even though the bagworms are still relatively small, their feeding activity is causing needle death, thinning of canopies, and browning of entire portions of plants. The severity of these symptoms is dependent on the size of the bagworm populations on the host plants. The bagworms are relatively small at the current time and are still easily killed with a multitude of different products, so get out there and search those sensitive plants before damage gets any worse! As always, be sure to read the label and follow are directions carefully. A few years ago we received a frantic phone call from a homeowner that was being “dive-bombed” by huge, unidentified wasps. What were they? Cicada killer wasps! These giant wasps are considered beneficial since they are the nemesis of the Annual Dog-Day Cicadas. These are the largest wasps found in Ohio, measuring 1.125 – 1.625 inches in length. The wasps have black bodies that are marked with yellow to white patches on the first three abdominal segments. The head, thorax and legs are rusty-red and the wings russet-yellow. As with all hymenoptera (wasps, bees, etc), only the female possess stingers (ovipositors); however, they are not aggressive. The females spend their time digging and provisioning burrows with paralyzed cicada-prey. The males spend their time establishing and defending territories that encompass females. They will aggressively buzz any transgressor who dares to enter their territory; including people. The females prefer to dig their brood burrows in sandy, bare, well-drained soil that is exposed to full sunlight. Although the wasps are considered solitary, they all practice the same nesting behavior. Thus, it is not unusual for there to be numerous burrows, and wasps, in relatively small areas. The males are notoriously territorial and will chase after other males as well as picnickers, golfer, volleyball enthusiasts, and gardeners. Fortunately, it’s all a ruse since the males lack stingers. Cultural practices that promote a thick growth of turfgrass usually eliminate a cicada killer infestation in a lawn in one or two seasons. Landscape infestations may be reduced by mulching or by adding plants to hade the soil. Since this is a beneficial insect, there are no insecticide recommendations specific to controlling these wasps. I encountered my first Cicada killer about 15 years ago in my vegetable garden. After being “buzzed” while I was trying to hoe weeds, I grabbed the can of wasp spray. After talking with my friend who had a landscaping business, I sadly admitted that I didn’t know what this giant wasp

was, but I was sure he was going to sting me! Every year since, I have a population of Cicada killer wasps that enjoy the sand in my vegetable garden without any fear of “death by spray”. The last thing to check is your tomato plants! Tomato Hornworms and Tobacco Hornworms are beginning to appear on tomato plants in southern Ohio. Both hornworms will feed on tomatoes as well as several other closely related plants in the Solanacea family including eggplants, peppers, potatoes, tobacco, and certain weeds. Backyard vegetable gardeners need to be alert for the symptoms of feeding activity by these luminous green caterpillars which includes missing leaves and stems, hunks bitten out of developing fruit, and black barrel-shaped excrement droppings (frass) on leaves and the ground beneath infested plants. Tomato and tobacco hornworm caterpillars are the larvae of hawk or sphinx moths. Indeed, tomato hornworms eventually grow up to become the 5-Spotted Hawk moth. The caterpillars are called “hornworms” because of the prominent horn-like projection rising from the upper surface at the end of their abdomen. They can grow to a truly impressive size of 4 inches in length, and 5/8 inches in diameter. However, despite their size, these cleverly camouflaged caterpillars may go undiscovered for weeks owing that to their coloration and white markings. Both hornworms have white diagonal lines along their sides. The tobacco hornworms have a series of white diagonal lines while the lines on tomato hornworms appear as a series of white sideway “V’s”. The caterpillars can be controlled through hand-picking. (This method sometimes “freaks” a novice gardener, but most “seasoned” gardeners find this method most satisfying.) Both caterpillars are also subject to the depredations of several predators and parasitoids. Paper wasps, yellow jackets, and other wasps will grab them, chew them up, and take the remains to their

nests to feed their larvae. The tiny parasitoid wasp, inserts its eggs into the caterpillars and the resulting wasp larvae consume the hornworms from the inside out. (Sounds gruesome….doesn’t it?) Just before the hornworms die, the full grown wasp larvae erupt through the upper epidermis to form oval, white, silk pupal cases. Rows of these white cocoons sprouting from tobacco and tomato hornworms are a well-known and a welcomed sight to home gardeners. Of course, the parasitized caterpillars should be left alone. They will do little to no feeding, and the wasp cocoons represent the potential future demise of numerous other hornworms. One day my husband asked me who I was talking to in the garden. I smiled, and explained that I had found a parasitized caterpillar on a tomato plant and simply said to it, “Tick tock, tick tock Mr. Caterpillar….your days are numbered!” My husband just shook his head and walked away. I’m sure he thinks I have gone off the deep end! Don’t forget to e-mail your gardening questions to Mike Hannah, Brown County Master Gardener Volunteer at mhannah2@msn.com. Keep ahead of those weeds in the garden!

NEW LEAF OR A NEW LIFE John 3 begins: “There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.” I want to stop here in verse two to consider this man Nicodemus. First of all we know that he was a Pharisee, a ruler of the Jews, which means he was also a member of the Sanhedrin. The Sanhedrin was a supreme council and highest ecclesiastical and judicial tribunal of the Jewish nation. It had 71 members. So Nicodemus was a man of great authority and was highly respected. He believed in God and admitted that he believed that Jesus was a teacher sent from God; but just how much did he believe in God? He came to Jesus by night, he was religious, and he was curious about the miracles Jesus performed. This man was of high position, high respect, and most probably was what he would call a good man. But that did not make him a saved man. All of his qualifications could not get him into heaven. Now watch, when he came to Jesus, Jesus began to show him just that. Verse 3: “Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say into thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” We know that Nicodemus was not saved because he did not know what Jesus was talking about. We have talked about being born again so much that every president of the United States since Nixon, has claimed to be born again. It is popular now on the national level to be born again. You hear people talking about having a born-again experience, meaning that they turned over a new leaf. You hear things like: “I was saved out of a fire and it was just like I was bornagain!” Well honey that is not what Jesus was talking about. Listen to what Nicodemus said: “How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born?” He was thinking of a second physical birth. It was similar to the line of thought concerning reincarnation. We Christians do not believe in that. According to the Bible when animals die they have no memory or future. Animals were given to us by God for our pleasure and well being. That does not mean that you should mistreat them. When an

DR. CHARLES SMITH MT. ORAB BIBLE BAPTIST CHURCH www.bbcmtorab.com animal’s life comes to an end, it is the end. We are not an animal. We have a similar body but we are not animals. We are human beings created in God’s own image. We are a trinity. We have a body, a spirit, and we are a soul. The unsaved person’s spirit is dead. The Bible tells us in Ephesians 2:1: “And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;” Your spirit is dead but is revived when you get saved. That is what Jesus is talking about in John chapter 3 when he states that you must be born again. Nicodemus was spiritually dead. Corinthians 2:14 states: “But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.” It must have sounded like foolishness to Nicodemus when Jesus told him: “Except a man be born again he cannot see the kingdom of God”; otherwise he would not had asked “can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born?” The things of God are spiritually discerned. Your spirit is quickened when you get saved and then the things of God become clearer. Jesus said in verse 5: “Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water” that is a physical birth. A baby is surrounded by water when in the womb and when the water breaks the baby is born. The verse goes on to say “and of the Spirit, he can not enter into the kingdom of God.” The physical birth is necessary of course in order to have a spiritual birth. Verse 6: “That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit it is spirit.” The spirit is reborn of God’s Holy Spirit when a person accepts Christ as their Saviour. All people are born of the flesh but few are born of the flesh and the Spirit. Are you born of the flesh and the Spirit, or only of the flesh?

Advanced equipment added to SSCC’s health sciences programs Students in Southern State Community College’s health sciences programs will gain an increasingly realistic lab experience thanks to the addition of new state-of-the-art equipment. The SSCC Foundation Executive Committee recently voted to allocate necessary capital from the Elmer and Helen Reed Fund for the purchase of a virtual IV simulator, two medication dispensing units, and an additional human patient simulator. “I am excited to see the use of this fund for enhanced experiences for our students in the health professions,” said Dr. Kevin Boys, SSCC President. “Our college continues to benefit from the generous gift of the Reed family.” In 2005, Elmer and Helen Reed bequeathed $1.57 million to the college’s nursing program. Mr. Reed had served as one of the first trustees of Southern State Community College, representing Fayette County from 1976 to 1988. The Reeds were highly supportive of the progress of Southern State and were particularly interested in the development of quality nursing programs. Their interest was clearly demonstrated as they left a major portion of their estate to support those programs in whatever way the college deemed appropriate. The Elmer and Helen Reed Fund has been utilized in the past to support the nursing program as a leading-edge offering at Southern State. As part of the recent renovation and expansion of Fayette Campus in Washington C.H., the fund supported new chemistry and biology laboratory spaces. Located

on the college’s Central Campus in Hillsboro, the Reed Simulation Lab was created to house three different types of simulators for students—the Human Patient Simulator (HPS), the BabySIM, and the PediaSIM. “Use of simulation in the health sciences programs has increased greatly over the past few years,” said Bruce Fugate, SSCC nursing instructor and simulation lab coordinator. “The addition of this equipment will allow us to continue to meet the needs of our students and expand simulation availability

to other Southern State campuses.” The most recent allocation will afford the purchase of an additional HPS, as well as a virtual IV simulator (comprehensive, fully interactive, selfdirected learning system for training intravenous catheterization) and two medication dispensing units (automated dispensing systems supporting medication management and featuring barcode scanning to help ensure accurate medication dispensing). “The nursing faculty and I are

excited to be able to utilize the technology to assist the students in developing skills to prepare for their clinical experiences and future nursing practice,” said Dr. Julianne Krebs, director of the SSCC nursing program. “We are extremely fortunate to be the beneficiary of the Reeds’ philanthropy and to have the support of the community and the SSCC Foundation.” To learn more, please call 1800-628-7722, email info@sscc.edu or visit www.sscc.edu.

Ripley prepared for 2012 bicentennial, upcoming breast cancer awareness run a village apartment complex. “The owner said she will send us a check right away, and asked if we would clean it up,” Leonard said. “She’s done that before, whenever someone moves out and leaves a mess.” In the absence of Village Administrator Charles Ashmore, council members reviewed his report during the meeting. “We have three people who have volunteered for our new property maintenance committee,” Leonard said. “Now we need to look at what their responsibilities will be.” Councilman Scott Eagan stated that he believed a scope of work and a timeline should be in place before a chairperson for the committee was appointed. “These volunteers need to know exactly what their role in the village will be and what they will be doing,” Eagan said. Council agreed to discuss the issue more at the next meeting. Jay Cutrell, village solicitor said in the meantime, he will find out a little more

The Komen for the Cure program has been around for 28 years. Funds raised by the event is used for breast cancer research and local community programs supporting education, screening and treatment. Nearly every major advance in the fight against breast cancer in the last 28 years has been impacted by a Komen for the Cure grant. The event will be held on September 10 in Ripley. In other business during the July 26 meeting, Mayor Tom Leonard told council that he had received some complaints about trash and junk piled up at

about how the volunteer program is working in Georgetown. Council had its second reading of an ordinance regulating traffic at the intersection of Alexander Street and Center Street in the village. Councilwoman Roberta Sidwell gave a brief report on ongoing plans for the Village of Ripley bicentennial celebration scheduled for 2012. Sidwell said the council would be involved in the burial of the time capsule. She said coordinator of the event, Carol Stivers, has been busy and the results of her efforts will be exciting for the village. In other business, the bad shape of many of the street signs was discussed by council. For whatever reason, the street signs are fading and are difficult to read. Mayor Leonard advised that it would probably be just as cheap to order new ones as it would be to fix the existing signs. Leonard plans on researching the costs and possibly buy better signs that would last longer.

new choir loft and some time later, Time Magazine did a feature story on our choir. We’ve still got copies of the article at the church.” Poff said signs of bat droppings had recently appeared in the sanctuary on the organ and on the organist chair, so the trustees hired an inspector to come in a month ago and check out just how bad the situation was. She said no one had been up in the loft since at least 1960. Upon investigating the loft, the inspector found one of the largest colonies of bats he had ever seen, along with piles of droppings, dead bats and dead pigeons which had accumulated for years and years. But the bat situation wasn’t the only problem found by the inspector. “There are eight arches in the church that actually hold the structure together,” Poff continued. “And five of the arches were seriously cracked. “The arches were in such bad shape, we were ordered out of the sanctuary until repairs were made.” Poff said that, to date, the cracked arches have been pulled together and stabilized until a plan is drawn up on making permanent repairs. “I know this is only a building,” Poff said in a shaky voice, ‘but it is so precious to me, our members and this community. This is very difficult for all of us.” The congregation of approximately 30 members is facing a huge expense in making the necessary repairs. When asked how the funds could be found for potentially large construction costs, the tone of Poff’s voice changed dramatically. “Well,” she began, “The Lord takes away, but the Lord provides. “We recently learned that our church was named as one of several beneficiaries of the estate of Dr. George Tyler and

his wife who passed away several years ago. “We knew years ago that our church was among the beneficiaries, but we didn’t know when we might receive the funds or how much it would be. “I’d call that a miracle, and the timing is perfect.” The congregation was invited by the Ripley Masonic Lodge, to hold it’s services at their hall for as long as necessary. Recently, after finding a bat in their own home, the Poff’s had to contact a company called Bat Exclusion to deal with her bat issues. “I’ve learned a lot about bats,” Thelma Poff said, “More than I ever wanted to know. They told me a bat can get through a tiny hole, not much bigger than a dime. That was discouraging to learn. “I’ve also learned that federal laws state that nesting areas of bats can not be disturbed between April 15 and

August 15. So it looks like nothing is going to happen at the church building until after August 15.” She explained that all the holes in the loft will eventually be filled in with the exception of one. That hole will be an exit-only hole in the building. After leaving, the bats will be unable to return. But Poff said the problems will not end for the congregation with the elimination of the bats. “Once the bats are gone,” she said hesitantly, “then the clean-up begins. And the real issue is, how sturdy is the floor where all those droppings are. Who knows how many years that floor has been deteriorating.” Poff said they haven’t been told how much removal of the droppings is going to cost. “But, whatever happens, I am optimistic that this will all turn out for the best,” she added. “The Lord will guide us through all this.”

Brisker leaves Fayetteville football Longtime assistant By Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press

B R O A D S H E E T E V E N

With the football season just days away, the young Fayetteville football program finds itself without a head coach after Ben Brisker’s resignation was accepted at the July 21 Fayetteville Board of Education meeting. Brisker, who spent the past two years as a coach for the Rockets--including last year as head coach, resigned because of immediate family issues. When reached over the phone, Brisker said he didn’t want to leave the team but he said it was the thing he needed to do for his family at this time. “I loved the team,” he said. “I enjoyed working at Fayetteville. (I) Hate leaving but it’s just the best thing for my family at this time.” Brisker is heading back to his hometown of Circleville, where he will teach, but not coach, for Zane Trace Schools. Given the timing, with fall practices starting on August 1, the school is trying to find a quick resolution. For the time being, assistant coach Harley McCullough has been put in place as the interim head coach. McCullough, who served as offensive and defensive line coach for the Rockets last season, will run the team

as close to usual as possible when fall practice begins next week. As a returning assistant coach, he is familiar with the team and its personnel. Dave Tatman, Fayetteville Jr. and Sr. High School principal and outgoing athletic director, said that the junior high football coaches will help McCullough to fill the void left as they move to find a permanent solution. He said that the school would be taking applications for the head coaching position this week (July 25-29), as it had been posted all week, and they hoped to began interviewing candidates next week. Tatman said he was not sure whether or not McCullough would be interested, or in consideration, for the position. With the Rockets football team going in to just its second year as a varsity program, and coming off a 2-8 first season in the varsity ranks, the coaching change, and timing, were not ideal. However, Tatman thinks the the team will be able to eventually get past the abrupt change but it will be a bit of trip up for the program. “Anytime you have a head coaching change, it is at least a speed bump,” he said. “It’s not what we’d like. It’s definitely a setback but not the end of our program by any means.”

Former Fayetteville football coach Ben Brisker counsels a player during a preseason scrimmage before last season. He resigned after one year as Rockets coach last week due to a family issue.

He added that the team will continue on regardless. “We’ll move on with what we have,” he said. The team will take the field for fall practice on Monday morning and will

continue on as planned while the coaching situation is ironed out.

Eastern to host alumni soccer game The PFC Seth Blevins Memorial Alumni Soccer Game will take place on Sunday, August 7 at the Eastern High School soccer fields. Guys will play at 4 p.m. while the girls will follow and play at 5:30.

Longtime Ripley assistant boys basketball coach Marty Adams will take over the top spot for the Blue Jays this winter as he steps in for the departed Mike Kennedy. Adams, who was named head coach during the Ripley Board of Education Meeting on July 19, has been with the Blue Jays for the past 14 seasons, first as a volunteer assistant then as the freshman coach and the last three years as junior varsity coach. It will be his first varsity head coaching job. He takes over for Kennedy, who Adams coached under at the school for the past 12 years, after he left for a principals job out of state. As a Ripley native and former Blue Jays basketball player, Adams is excited to take over the program and feels this is a good point to take the program over. “If coach (Kennedy) doesn’t move on I was happy where I was but I thought this is a good time to take over the program,” he said. With as much time as he has spent as a coach with the Blue Jays program, and coaching the current group, Adams said he thinks it will be a smooth transition. He said he will use some of the same philosophies that Kennedy employed, particularly on defense, but there will be differences. This group of Blue Jay players will help make the transition even easier, however. “It’s a good position for a new coach to be in with

them coming in,” Adams said. “It’s a good group for any coach to walk into.” Heading into the season with this group, Adams feels good about the team’s chances. The team has six seniors coming back, including three starters, from last year’s squad that finished 19-3. “We should be in the thick of things when all is said and done,” Adams said. While he prepares for the upcoming season, Adams is also planning for what he would like to do as he begins to set up his program for the future. His goal is to begin installing his philosophies into the Ripley youth programs. He wants to get into the younger levels of youth ball so that they can begin teaching the fundamentals of the way he would like the Blue Jays to play. And he said the youth coaches are already interested in doing it. “I can look all the way down to second grade and see that Ripley has a lot of good players coming,” Adams said. “If we can get in there now, it makes all the coaches jobs easier. If we get some of the youth coaches to run the same stuff we do, maybe not in so hard a fashion-and break it down--I think we’ll be in good shape when they get to the junior high level and on up.”

Lady Rockets win Olentangy Shootout On the weekend of July 1617 the Fayetteville varsity girls basketball team participated in a shootout at Olentangy High School in Columbus and came away champions. The Lady Rockets were perfect in three games on both Saturday and Sunday to take home the title against a lot of tough competition. The 48 participating schools were divided up into 12 pools consisting of four teams per pool. In the Lady Rockets pool was Canal Winchester, Ridgedale and Olentangy Liberty. They went 3-0 on Saturday verses these teams, a feat that they had only previously matched one time when they won pool play last year. Sunday’s games were matched up with all pool play places playing in a tournament format against matching

pool play places. For example, all first place teams play each other while all second place winners play each other and third vs. third and fourth vs. fourth. All teams get three games Sunday, win or lose, but winners keep advancing to play other winning teams. Last year, the Lady Rockets lost all three games on Sunday but all were within five points or less. This year, however, the Lady Rockets won all three games and claimed the championship for the first time since they began going to this shootout. They finished with a 6-0 record. Their Sunday opponents were Fredrickstown, Mentor and Leipsic, all of whom were undefeated going in to the games. Fayetteville has been going to this shootout for 15 years now, and the competition is

very stiff. The Lady Rockets return five players from their nine player rotation from last season. Graduated are Shelby Sheets (playing for Capital University), Desiree Dutro (playing for UC Clermont), Emily Stahl and Jill Ryan. Returning is senior Brianna Plapp, juniors Ashley Scoogins and Cheyenne Ramey, sophomores Makayla Rosselot and Megan Eyre and incoming freshman Carly Burroughs. Rounding out the roster are seniors Amanda O'Donnell and Mariah Dutro. "We have had an exceptional summer of basketball,” Lady Rockets coach Toby Sheets said. “After graduating four starters you would expect some rebuilding but the cupboard certainly is not bare." Look for the Lady Rockets to compete at a high level in 2011-2012.

Mulch fundraiser successful for WB football team

On one of the hottest and muggiest days of the year, the racing action was hot at Moler Raceway Park (MRP). With a special visit by the AMSA Mini-Sprints starting the night off, it was Greenfield, OH’s Kevin Roberts Jr ending up in victory lane in his family owned and operated machine. Ryan Broughton started eighth and challenged Roberts but to no avail as he would lead all 20 laps en route to his victory. Broughton would come home second followed by Rod Henning in third. In the Sunesis Construction Late Models, the night started with Chad Stapleton and Chris Streeval winning the heat races and setting the starting line-up for the A-main event. In the feature event it was Stapleton jumping out front and running the high side of the racetrack but Middletown, OH’s Lil' John Whitney would find a lane on the bottom of the racetrack in his Berry Motorsports, Masterbuilt chassis machine and take over the top spot from Stapleton and set sail towards his second feature win of the season in his Stephan Heating and Cooling, Amaze-A-Stitch Embroidery, Barker Fab and Machine sponsored car. Stapleton would come home second followed by Streeval, Allan Magner, and Barry Doss (who went to a back-up car early in the evening and

In the preliminary races it was Dave McWilliams, Matt Hamilton and Shane Mugavin taking the checkered flags while Spencer Watson would claim his first victory of the season in the B-main event. In the feature it was all Matt Hamilton as he had his Diamond Race car shining on this night as he would jump out to the lead at the beginning of the race and would never be challenged in his A1 Landscaping and Lawn Service, Gildays Auto, Schmoes Collision sponsored machine. Behind Hamilton at the checkers was McWilliams followed by Doug Adkins, Randy Wash and Rick Curtin. In the Big Red Book Street Stocks it was a smaller than normal field of cars but some great racing action as Bruce Gray Jr and Bub Balsley

would race side-by-side for the lead for the first 2/3 of the race while Jeremie Bretz,Jeremie Scott and Shannon Enoch raced side by side for the third position. With about five laps to go, it was Balsley pulling away in his Detmer Racing Engines number 77 machine while Gray would have to battle to hold on to second position over Bretz, Scott and Enoch. In the Holman Motor Chevette Division it was Miles Tarvin with his new machine repaired and back at the track taking the win in the fifteen lap feature event in his Lykins Oil, Carrington Farm Supply, P&G Farms, Ron Storer Commercial sponsored machine.

New state map enhanced with QR code link to real-time traffic info To kick-off opening day of the 2011 Ohio State Fair, the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) revealed the new Ohio State Highway Map, which for the first time includes a QR code that allows smartphone and mobile device users instant access to real-time traffic information. “This new map not only highlights many of Ohio’s destinations, but gives motorists a helpful tool to get them to their destinations quickly and safely,” said ODOT Director Jerry Wray, who was on hand for the occasion. “Distributing the map at the fair has been a long standing tradition, and it is appropriate the new map should make its debut here.” State-issued highway maps began in Ohio in 1912, when the first copies were made available through the then Departme nt of Highways. Since then the distribution of the map has become a regular and popular service to the general public.

“There were no interstates or expressways when the first maps were published,” noted Wray. “The automobile was just starting to change the lives of everyday people, and a map of roadways beyond your own neighborhood or city was becoming a necessity.” Since 1991, the design of the map has been handled inhouse by ODOT. This recent edition was published by an Ohio contractor, reflecting Governor Kasich’s belief in the importance of the map as a true state product helping to support the economy. Copies of the map are available at the ODOT exhibit, located in the Marketplace Building, throughout the run of the fair, through August 7 in Columbus. Copies of the new map also can be obtained throughout th e state at interstate rest areas, Ohio’s Travel Information Centers, and at local state offices, like the local Bureau of Motor Vehicles.

Cincinnati area Social Security offices to close 30 minutes early Effective Aug. 15, 2011, the Social Security offices in Hamilton, Butler, Warren and Clermont counties will be open to the public Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. – a reduction of 30 minutes each weekday. While agency employees will continue to work their regular hours, this shorter public window will allow them to complete face-to-face service with the visiting public without incurring overtime costs. Congress provided Social Security with nearly $1 billion less than the President requested for the budget this fiscal year, which makes it impossible for the agency to provide the amount of overtime needed to handle service to the public as we have in the past. Most Social Security services do not require a visit to an office. For example, anyone wishing to apply for benefits, replace a Medicare card, obtain a proof of income let-

ter, or inform us of a change of address should visit www.socialsecurity.gov or call 1-800-772-1213. People who are deaf or hard of hearing may call our TTY number, 1-800-325-0778.

Creature Feature Flea allergy dermatitis may be the cause of your pet’s scratching At All Creatures Animal Hospital our veterinarians hear it every day, “My pet won’t stop itching, but I can’t find any fleas!” These exasperated clients come to us in hopes we will give them a diagnosis – any diagnosis – that will help relieve their pets’ itchy skin. Many of our clients, even those who use year-round parasite preventives on their pets, are reluctant to accept the fact that flea allergy dermatitis (FAD) could actually be causing the problem. That’s because they don’t understand how fleas affect their pet. Many pet owners believe that because they’ve administered preventive products fleas can’t get to their pet at all. What they need to realize is that while preventive products do kill fleas, there’s a bit of a delay before it happens. And that delay is long enough for a flea to sink its teeth in your pet’s skin. Veterinarian prescribed flea products work well for the average patient, but when pets go outside, fleas are hatching and jumping on them from the yard, and the products don’t kill the fleas instantly. No matter when the product was applied to the pet, you’re always going to have that little delay. Once bitten by a flea, dogs and cats react with skin allergies from the saliva of the flea and exhibit uncontrollable itching. Wild animals in your yard can harbor dog and cat fleas as well, and frequently do pass them on to your pets. When a pet presents with itchy skin, we must always keep in mind that fleas are one of the most common causes, even if you can’t see a single flea. Sometimes fleas are hard to spot, they’re very quick. Cats lick and swallow them, and the thick coats of some dogs make them hard to see.

DAN MEAKIN CREATURE FEATURE

If a dog is itching constantly around its tail base, hind legs, and groin, or if a cat scratches constantly around its neck or licks to the point of removing hair, FAD could likely be the cause and the client needs to bring the pet in for an examination. FAD is actually a good diagnosis because it can be controlled. It’s all about educating clients and using the

products we have to eliminate your pets’ fleas, but understanding the limitations of those products. As new parasite preventive products emerge, the fight against fleas will continue to evolve. So stay on top of the newest products from your veterinarian and know how to spot the signs of flea allergy dermatitis. Owners can always trust the products purchased from their veterinarian are going to better, guaranteed, and safer than over the counter flea products.
