Court sides with Sheriff in Varnau suit The Ohio 12th District Court of Appeals has struck down the efforts of Dennis Varnau to remove Brown County Sheriff Dwayne Wenninger from office. In an opinion dated August 8, 2011, the court ruled that “Varnau has failed to present any evidence that would establish or create a genuine issue of material fact as to Wenninger’s qualification to run for or hold the office of Sheriff...for the 2008 election.” The ruling continues, saying “Varnau has not demonstrated that Wenninger is presently holding and exercising the office of Brown County Sheriff unlawfully. Therefore, he is not entitled to

a writ of Quo Warranto ousting Wenninger from office.” A writ of Quo Warranto is the legal procedure used to remove elected officials from
office. While the ruling is a setback, the case is not over according to Varnau’s attorney. Thomas Eagle of Lebanon, Ohio, said “We’re still looking at the ruling. We have some disagreements with it and we do plan to appeal to the State Supreme Court.” Varnau did not return phone calls seeking comment. Regarding the ruling, Wenninger said “I was confident about the outcome. I knew that all the proper procedures had been followed and that I was qualified then and I’m qualified now to hold the office.” Regarding Varnau, Wenninger said “This man ran against me and lost. He tried to reverse the will of the voters and lost again. This
man has been harassing me for years and it’s just unfortunate that he put my family through that.” Wenninger also said that he was “sad that the case took too much time away from my job” and that he intends to run for another term in 2012. He added that he was looking forward to serving the people of Brown County for another four years. The case began when Varnau ran against Wenninger as an independent candidate for Sheriff in 2008. Prior to the election, Varnau filed a protest with the Brown County Board of Elections, claiming that Wenninger was not eligible to hold the office. Varnau contended that Wenninger did not meet the educational credentials to
hold the office of sheriff when originally elected in 2001. Varnau’s argument continued that since Wenninger was not eligible in 2001, his service in office was not valid. A four year break in law enforcement service invalidates an Ohio Peace Officer Certificate. Therefore, Varnau contended, Wenninger was not eligible to serve after 2005 because his peace officer certificate was invalid. The Brown County Board of Elections denied the protest because it was not filed by a member of the appropriate political party because Varnau ran as an independent. Wenninger won the 2008 election with 62.92 percent of the vote. Varnau filed a complaint
with the Brown County Court of Common Pleas to compel the board of elections to accept his protest, but the court dismissed the complaint. In February of 2009 Varnau filed a complaint for a writ of Quo Warranto, which was denied by the 12th District Court of Appeals in August of 2010. Part of the 12th District’s ruling was based on the decision of the Brown County Board of Elections. Varnau appealed that ruling to the Ohio Supreme Court, which reversed the decision. The Ohio Supreme Court said that the appeals court must rule on the merits of the case rather than rely on the decision of the Brown County Board of Elections as a basis CONTINUED ON PAGE 12
Money for jobs coming to county BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press More federal money is on the way to Brown County for flood relief. The State of Ohio will be receiving $16 million from the Department of Labor to pay workers to help clean up damage left behind by spring storms. The National Emergency Grant will create 1,144 temporary jobs in Ohio for dislocated workers to help raze demolished buildings, repair structures and clear streets of debris. At press time, the amount
of money coming to Brown County and when it would arrive was unknown. Details on how individuals can apply for jobs paid for by the federal funds will be published in the Brown County Press and at www.browncountypress.com as they become available. Twenty-one Ohio counties were declared eligible for federal disaster aid by President Obama. The Federal Emergency Management Agency will be funding an expected three million dollars in cleanup and repair efforts in Brown County.

St. Martin’s fate to depend on ballot box By Martha Jacob The Brown County Press The Village of St. Martin has now placed the future of its existence in the hands of the residents of the village. Village solicitor Jay Cutrell drafted a petition on placing the question of dissolution of the village on the November 8
ballot. “The village needed at least 40 percent of the electors to sign the petition to place this issue of dissolving the village on the November ballot,” Cutrell said. “That’s about 20 signatures. Residents of St. Martin have a lot of pride in their village, but because it is just so small they don’t have
enough money in its general fund to pay for state mandated audits. Those audits can cost anywhere from $5 thousand to $8 thousand.” Cutrell added, “I think it was a hard decision for the residents of St. Martin, and now they will let the people decide.” Cutrell said that if the resi-
dents vote against surrendering their village, they will have to find new ways of generating funds such as enacting an income tax. During a special July 18 meeting at Perry Township Hall near the Village of St. Martin, called by Brown County Prosecutor Jessica CONTINUED ON PAGE 12

Grant funds could pay 75 percent of cost of new fire boat for the Village of Ripley By Martha Jacob The Brown County Press Ripley Village Council voted 3-3 to apply for a 75/25 matching funds maritime grant for the purchase of a special fire boat for the Ripley Fire Department.

ing a presentation from Brown County Commissioner Rick Eagan, who was speaking on behalf of the Ripley Fire Department. “I attended a meeting in Cincinnati of a Maritime Security Meeting,” Eagan began, “I wanted to see about getting money for the Ripley Fire Department since we are on the river. The Cincinnati Port maritime had $252,000 turned back in to them that wasn’t used, and those grant funds have to be spent by July next year. That’s why I’ve come here tonight on such short notice. The grant application must be applied for by August 12, that’s this Friday.” Eagan went on to say that the fire department needed a good rescue boat, and that the current 16 foot jon boat used by the department was not safe. The fire boat the department would like to purchase is a 21.5 foot Lake Assault Fire Rescue Boat with twin 115 HP engines, complete with water pump. The cost of the fire boat is $121,500. The 25 percent match from the department would be $30,375. “I need the blessing from council before I apply for this grant,” Eagan stated. According to Village Administrator Charles Ashmore, he believed the Ripley Lifesquad would probably put $5,000 towards the boat since they were willing to do so the last time the issue came up. “The fire department will be able to pay back the $30,375 to the village,” Ashmore added, “So the village will just be ‘up-fronting’ the money.” Councilwoman Roberta Sidwell questioned if the Fire Department Association could help with the cost and she asked about any added costs on insurance. Ashmore assured her the boat would be covered through the village fleet policy. Rick Eagan stressed to council that the grant money was there and ready to be applied for. He added that grant money was going to dry

up in the next couple of years, and a 25 percent share was a great opportunity for the village. At that point, councilman Daniel Dragoo expressed his hesitation on spending so much money for the boat. “I’m looking here at some statistics from the last 31 years, and I see that there have only been 10 drowning victims on the river in all those years,” Dragoo said. “That’s one death ever three years. “I understand the jon boat isn’t what we need, but I’m not sure if we need a $121,000 boat for one drowning in three years. I think we could probably get by with a $20,000 fire boat or even a $15,000 fire boat.” To that comment, councilman Scott Eagan responded, “And we could find one of those boats, where?” “I’m just saying we don’t need a boat like they do in the New York”, Dragoo responded. Then Dragoo asked council if they could back out of the deal before July 1 next year if they couldn’t come up with the funds. “Well, I’ll tell you right now,” Rick Eagan said, “If you intend to back out of this deal, I’m not going to apply for this grant.” Fiscal officer Lesley Myers told council that the funds could be moved around in the general fund to cover the first $15,000. Following the discussion, Mayor Leonard called for a motion to apply for the grant and find the 25 percent match in the village budget. After a vote was called for
council members Charles Poole, Scott Eagan and Nowana Bingaman all voted yes while Judy Brooks, Roberta Sidwell and Daniel Dragoo all voted no on the motion. Mayor Leonard voted yes, which carried the motion. Rick Eagan said he would get started on the application right away. In other business at the meeting Mark Spiller, vice president of the Ohio Tobacco Festival requested permission from council to use the village water and electricity again for this years festival. A motion was made and approved by all council members. In other business council had a third reading of an ordinance to place a stop sign at the intersection of Alex and Center Street.

By Martha Jacob The Brown County Press With the sale of Brown County General Hospital to Southwest Healthcare now complete, members of the board of trustees are wrapping up details before the board is officially dissolved later this year. According to Chairman Eric Sontag, the board met in regular session on July 28 to discuss, among other issues, the Tyler Memorial Trust. “We are pleased to present the Brown County Hospital Foundation with a check from the Tyler Memorial Trust in the amount of $300,000,” Sontag announced at the meeting.
“This money will be used to memorialize Dr. George P. Tyler, Jr and his wife Junia K, in the formation of a fund to be named in their honor for everything they have done for the hospital.” Dr. George Tyler, Jr. was a physician who was a driving force behind the creation of Brown County General Hospital. He passed away in 1961. The purpose of the funds will be to provide educational grants and scholarships related to the medical field, preferably for Brown County residents. “This donation is a result of negotiations with the five entities that were designated to receive an equal portion from the trust,” Sontag said.
“The amount has been removed from the total trust amount prior to the remainder being divided equally among the beneficiaries.” Sontag explained that the negotiations also included a requirement that the money is placed in an account and a restriction that only the interest earned on that account is to be used to fund the grants and scholarships awarded The principal is to remain untouched. Erika Ackley, member of the Brown County Hospital Board of Trustees, stated that a motion was made at the meeting to erect a granite bust of Dr. Tyler and his wife in front of the hospital at a later date. “There has only been a
motion to have this bust made,” Ackley said. “We are in the very early stages of this endeavor and basically nothing can be done until the funds actually come through to the foundation.” Ackley said no preliminary sketches have been made, but when the project begins, the work will be done by Jim Hessler at the Georgetown Marble and Granite Company. The board also met with Steve Purtell, from the Brown County Prosecutor’s office to obtain the signatures of the board members on a deed of one-half undivided interested property on Free Soil Road which could be deeded to the Commissioners.

Make the dollar-for-dollar rule permanent Congress and the president have finally agreed to raise the nation’s $14.3 trillion debt limit, along with spending cuts of an equal or greater amount. There are many points of view about the final agreement, but here’s a positive aspect of the underlying principle: If we pledge to hold all future debtlimit increases to the same “dollar-for-dollar” standard, we can balance the budget within a decade. Increases in the debt limit used to be routine. In fact, for many years the House of Representatives did not even take a stand-alone vote to raise the debt limit, but rather employed the so-called Gephardt Rule to “deem” the necessary increase every time they passed a budget expanding the debt. As a result, the past decade saw the national debt soar from $5.6 trillion to $14.3 trillion with no significant deficit-reduction bills attached to any of its 10 debtlimit increases. That era is over. With this latest debt limit increase, Congress—at the wise suggestion of House Speaker John Boehner—adopted a new standard: that the bill raising the debt limit must also cut an
ROB PORTMAN equal amount of spending over the following decade. In this instance, rather than accede to President Obama’s demand as recently as this spring for a “clean” debt-limit increase, Congress matched a $2.4 trillion increase with at least $2.4 trillion in spending savings over the decade. My hope is that Congress and the president will make further structural spending reforms to respond to the fiscal crisis. But at a minimum, lawmakers should commit to making the “dollar-for-dollar” rule a permanent debt-limit policy. Using Congressional Budget Office data, I have calculated that if we apply this every time we reach the debt limit over the next 10 years, we will balance the budget by 2021 without raising tax rates over current rates. That’s more than $5 trillion in spending cuts over the decade. And because many of these spending reforms would
like Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid must also be modernized and reformed to aid 77 million retiring baby boomers and yet ensure solvency for future generations. Repealing the new health-care law would save hundreds of billions of dollars, while providing a second chance to get health reform right. Wasteful spending must be eliminated, and Washington must right-size the federal budget to fit the new realities. The right tax reform can also reduce the deficit. The current tax code is so large and complex that Americans are forced to spend a combined 8 billion hours complying with it annually. Worse yet, the tax code discourages the working, saving, investing and entrepreneurship that are vital to growth and prosperity. We should create a tax code that’s fair for everyone, not just those who can manipulate it. Fixing the code can bring in new revenues not by raising taxes, but by creating economic growth, jobs and higher incomes. These spending and deficit reforms are vital to encouraging economic growth and job creation. An April 2008 study CONTINUED ON PAGE 5
other sites, the company spokeswoman told me. The fate of teachers, police officers and firefighters/paramedics whose salaries depend on Duke taxes is unclear, but layoffs are possible. Estimates indicate Pierce Township could lose more than $766,000 annually, I was told by a township official. New Richmond, which has about 2,400 residents, could lose about $350,000 annually – not counting the income taxes now paid by Duke workers, a village official told me. The New Richmond School District, which employs about 350 full-time workers and 150 part-timers, could lose about $2 million annually – nearly 10 percent of its operating budget, I was told by a school official. The district serves about 2,500 children from the villages of New Richmond and Moscow and the townships of Pierce, Monroe, Ohio and Washington. For people in Washington, D.C., where trillions of dollars are tossed around these days, $2 million doesn’t get the kind of respect it used to command. But to residents of Southwest Ohio, it still looks like a fortune. The people who end up paying for the revenue lost because of the EPA’s regulations will be the students whose schools are not as well equipped as they should be, the teachers who lose jobs or are not paid what they deserve, and the parents who have to dig deeper into their pockets to cover tax increases that these localities could be prompted to seek.

Letters to the Editor
Reader vows to keep Decauter Post Office Dear Editor, A letter writing meeting to support the Decatur Post Office is scheduled for Monday, Aug. 15 at 7 p.m. in the Community Room of the Decatur Community Center on state Route 125. Anyone interested in helping write letters to elected officials or postal officials to keep the Decatur Post office open is encouraged to attend. Earlier this month Post Master General Patrick Donahoe targeted approximately 3,700 small rural post offices to be studied for possible closure - Decatur, Ohio was on the list. Every effort is being made by our community to relay our opposition to this proposal.
Petitions are being signed, calls are being made, emails are being sent and letters are being written. Community members gathered last Sunday afternoon to review what a closure would mean for residents who are elderly, handicapped, out of work, do not drive or are farmers and small business people who’s livlihood rarely takes them outside of Byrd Township and who depend on the Decatur Post office for stamps, mail, money orders or to mail bills or letters and packages. Russellville is the next closest post office which is 6.5 miles away. This is a short distance by car but quite a walk and if you don’t have the money or don’t have enough time then

necessarily carry over past 2021, the savings in the following decade would be even larger. If this framework were followed, starting in 2021 budget surpluses would end the era of debt-limit increases. Granted, cutting more than $5 trillion over the next decade will be challenging. But that is out of the $46 trillion in projected spending which increases the annual budget by 57%. So there is room to cut. With this agreement, Congress has already begun a process to cut the first $2.4 trillion with nearly $1 trillion of those savings up front. I’ve identified more than $2.8 trillion in possible spending reductions that have received bipartisan support through either Vice President Biden’s working group, the Gang of Six, or other bipartisan legislative or public pronouncements. Any of those proposed cuts that do not make it into this current two-step reform should be applied to the next round. All spending should be on the table. Discretionary spending—both defense and nondefense—has surged in recent years and cannot be excluded from responsible spending reforms. Entitlement programs

this is a burden. The other obvious concern was what if Decatur loses it’s zip code? In 1998 after the Eastern School Board took the elementary school out of Decatur the community fought to keep the school as a community center to keep the community together and keep Decatur alive. A few years later the screen at the Drive In blew down and a fund raiser was organized by the community to keep the drive in going. In 2005 Doug and Missy Day steppe dup and saved the little store. In 2006 a rash of thefts was going on in the community, residents got together and took classes to protect the community as Citizens On Patrol. In 1983 the community got together and started the Byrd Township Volunteer Fire Department and auxiliary, located on Mulberry Street in Decatur, after a resident’s house burned down. In 2009 Decatur resident Annie Staggs started the ‘We Can Help Food Bank’ to assist people who are victims of this lousy economy. the Food bank is supported by anyone who wants to donate. So after trying so long and working so hard to keep this little town vital, if Decatur loses it’s zip code, does it exist? Well way back in 1801 when Decatur was founded by John Coburn and Basil Duke there was no post office. The town was called St. Clairsville until a Post Office was applied for and it was learned that the county seat of Belmont County, Oh., was also named St. Clairsville. After this discovery, the town was called Hard Scrabble for a few years during the first
depression in Adams County beginning in 1816. This year was known as ‘The Year Without Summer’, (and here we are in the same mess but in ‘The Year With Too Much Summer’). The Decatur Post Office was established April 2, 1817 in Adams County (Brown County History 1993). By an act of the State Legislature the town was renamed Decatur around the time Brown County was established in 1818, in honor of the hero of Lake Erie in the War of 1812, Stephen decatur. There are 17 towns in the United States named Decatur. Decatur was the first town established within the limits of what was to become brown County and was registered as a town two years before Ohio became a state. At its inception in 1801 it was part of the Virginia Military District of the Northwest Territory. On August 10, 2011, Decatur turned 210 years old. In 2001 during Decatur’s Bicentennial Celebration an Ohio Historic marker was placed in the Decatur Park. We are proud of our town and our history and we would really like to keep our U.S. Post Office our zip code and our name. if anyone out there has any influence with the big wigs in Washington we sure could use some help, or if you just want to shout at Washington with us, well the more the merrier!

In its zeal to protect us, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency might inadvertently cost scores of jobs in Greater Cincinnati and affect the quality of education for about 2,500 students. New regulations have prompted Duke Energy to announce it will pull the plug on the part of the Beckjord power plant in Clermont County that relies on coal-fired generators to produce electricity. The EPA thinks the plant will cause more air pollution than allowed by agency rules that take effect in 2015. Duke Energy couldn’t justify investing hundreds of millions of dollars to bring the 60-year-old power plant into compliance with the new standards. Duke also plans to close one of its units at the Miami Fort generating plant in Hamilton County, which provides electricity to Kentucky. Again, the reason is it would cost too much to upgrade that plant near North Bend to comply with the new EPA standards. It makes more economic sense for Duke to buy electricity on the wholesale market and resell it to local customers. It’s too soon to say whether customers will see increases in utility bills, a Duke spokeswoman told me. Four oil-fired generators at the Clermont County plant, which is in New Richmond and Pierce Township, could continue to operate past the deadline. But the net effect will be to export an important part of Clermont County’s tax base to wherever Duke Energy has to go to buy electricity. This is not something that we need. Closing part of Beckjord will cause harm to the community. The plant employs about 120 people. Duke will try to redeploy as many workers as possible to

Sardinia Village Council trying to have railroad crossing signs removed, to purchase new cruiser

cost was $399 and it’s already been fixed and is back in service.” Naylor also said he is still working with a new software system in his office which will help him get caught up on all the paperwork which has to be filed with the state. He recommended he be allowed to do away with two cell phones owned and used by the department which cost $26 a month. He said everyone in the department has their own phones. “I would also like council to know that we had to make some major repairs on the rescue truck,” he added. “That truck has a very large alternator, which is necessary because of all the emergency lights that operate off it. “The rear lights were not working well at all, and believe me, when your sitting out on route 32 at the scene of an accident, you want all those lights to work.” Naylor added that the wiring was in bad shape in the truck. He told council that the work needed was going to be over $2,000. Council discussed the costs of upgrading all village radios to narrow banding which will be mandatory by January, 2012.
Currently only one mobile radio can be upgraded and the rest will have to be replaced. Chief Naylor told council that the village had applied for a grant along with Adams County and Highland County to help pay for new radios, but they had been turned down. As the meeting continued, the owner of a new tire business, Dustin Puckett, approached council to introduce himself. “I just wanted to tell everyone about my new business, here in Sardinia, Puckett’s Tire and Lube,” Puckett began, “I’ll be doing the basic services, tires, oil changes, brake jobs and other light work. I am located in the old Sears building. I will be able to offer police tires at state bid prices. All my prices will be reasonable.” Mayor Bumbalough thanked Puckett for coming to the meeting and welcomed him to the community. Sardinia Police Chief Jim Lewis told council he would like to purchase a 2006 police cruiser at a cost of $9,800. Tim Mock, village administrator told council that he had already talked to First State Bank in Winchester and details had been worked out to make the purchase.

Regression to the mean and what that has to do with you Let me apologize up front that I’m doing another math and statistics column here. The rea-
Dollarfor-dollar CONTINUED FROM PAGE 4 by economists Carmen Reinhart and Kenneth Rogoff shows that when a nation’s debt exceeds 90% of the size of its economy—which ours passed last year—growth is reduced by one-to-two percentage points. For the U.S., that means one million fewer jobs today. Over 25 years, continuing this fiscal irresponsibility would leave the economy onefifth smaller than otherwise. But by committing to the “dollar-for-dollar” rule that keeps spending cuts in balance with any debt-ceiling increases we could actually begin paying down the national debt, to strengthen our economic outlook and to save future generations from inheriting this unconscionable burden. Sen. Portman is a Republican from Ohio and a former director of the Office of Management and Budget.
HEALTH MATTERS TOM CALLAHAN, RPH soning behind it is that the field of medicine is full of math and statistics, and we should have at least a basic understanding of them. Let’s face it, if your doctor told you that you had a life threatening illness -- like cancer – one of the first things you’d want to know is: what are my chances? On to the topic du jour -regression to the mean. Regression to the mean is a statistical phenomenon that occurs whenever you have a nonrandom sample from a population and two measures that are imperfectly correlated. Now stay with me, I just threw that in to show you how this stuff can be made to sound complicated, but this is the kind of thing that can be shown easily enough by using examples. Regression to the mean is what happens when the experimenter selectively takes his or her sample from the extreme end(s) of the curve, the next time you test them they will move towards the center of the curve. Here’s an example, let’s
say a school gives a math test to all of its students and takes the bottom 5 percent who got a 60 or worse and puts them through a “new math” course then retests those students. Can they really claim the program is a success if the average score goes from a 57 to a 67? Because they only chose the students who did poorly, we would expect some of them to improve the next time they took the test whether they had some “new math” course or not. Think of it this way, if we gave the test on Monday and again on Wednesday, then looked at the 10 students that did the worst on both days, chances are that not all 10 will be the same on both days. Someone will do better and another person will do worse. You will have those kids that are really bad at math on both lists, but then there are other students who just had a bad day. Regression to the mean simply means that when you retest, the students having a bad day will do better the second time around. Regression to the mean is a statistical phenomenon that happens when dealing with groups. Let’s look at one more example, you have 100 people take 20 free-throws each, then you select the 10 best. Two or three of those people will be people
TJ’s Fishing Lakes
who have practiced long and hard on free-throws, but others will be people that just had a good day. If you retest that group of ten the average number of baskets for the group will fall. That doesn’t mean that someone may do even better than they did the first time, but the average for the group will drop. So what does this have to do with medicine? Let’s look at one circumstance for instance. Let’s say a new treatment comes out for XYZ disease, who will doctors want to try it on first? The patients who are the most sick. When they come back six months later and look at their patients that have used this new treatment they are bound to see improvement simply because of regression to the mean. This leads the doctors to view the new treatment as being much better than it really is and will tend to overuse it. I hope I haven’t bored you to death with more math than you’ve had since high school, but I thought it was an interesting phenomenon and wanted to share it with you. If you have a question you’d like me to address, stop in and see me at Pamida pharmacy, call me at 378-6849, or send an email to PRXM093@Pamida.com.

Sardinia Village Council and Sardinia Mayor Todd Bumbalough are working to have two railroad crossing signs removed by Norfolk-Southern Railroad because there are no longer tracks at the sites. “At one time we had three consecutive sets of railroad tracks in our village,” Bumbalough explained, “But now the tracks are gone and the road has been blacktopped. “But because the signs are still there, our school busses have to stop at all three sites, which frankly, is silly and annoying for the drivers.” Bumbalough also stated that he has been in ongoing negotiations with the railroad company about cleaning up the area around the tracks that run through Sardinia. “I called the president of Norfolk and talked to someone in the office about getting that area by the tracks cleaned up,” the mayor stated. “I was finally able to reach the vice president of the company, Robert Chatman and as everyone can see they have done a good job of cleaning that area up. I took pictures of it and sent to them and they were on it, right away. However, they did ask up to move our recycling bins off their property, so we need to find a new place for them.” Bumbalough said hopefully before the next council meeting, he could find a new location for the recycle bins. Several possible locations were recommended by council members. In other business at the meeting Sardinia Fire Chief Lee Naylor reported that the brakes on one of the fire department’s old tankers had been fixed. “I took the tanker to Charlie's Repair and he found that one of the seals was leaking on a back tire,” Chief Naylor said. “The
Following a motion to approve the purchase, council agreed to pay $4,500 this year and another $4,500 by the end of next year. Council voted unanimously to approve the purchase. Mock told council that he had not received any bids on the 1987 utility truck, which has been out of commission for many years. He said that local resident Roger Barber offered him $500 for the truck just the way it sits. Council agreed to the offer and told Mock to sell it to Barber. Mayor Bumbalough told council that Dave McMillan and Bob Fender had requested closing a portion of Pleasant Street that dead ends in the cemetery. “It’s only about a 200 foot portion of road,” Bumbalough said. “There’s only gravel there and it’s covered in grass.” Jay Cutrell, solicitor for the village, said he will write up an ordinance to close the road and have it ready by the next meeting. The mayor said he is still working on trying to find a cable or satellite provider for the village and that five-day letters to owners of property in the village had been mailed out. The letters give the property owners five days to clean up their properties. It was recommended to council that a speed limit sign of 25 mph be placed at the corner of Fairview and Charles Street. Council approved a .25 cent raise per hour for Chief Lewis who has been with the department for one year. Two ordinances received third readings at the meeting including an ordinance to regulate weed control and litter within the village and an ordinance to enact general provisions within the utilities department of the village.

According to the National Cervical Cancer Coalition, about 11,000 women are diagnosed with cervical cancer in the United States each year and nearly 4,000 women die from the disease. But a group of concerned citizens from Brown County, all members of the Jaymie Jamison Foundation and a multitude of friends have vowed to keep their community aware of the danger. The Jaymie Jamison Foundation was organized after Jaymie’s death due to cervical cancer. She passes away earlier this year at the age of 34. She left behind her husband Jon, daughters Kristen Hope, 14, Alexie Lynn, 12 and Madison Gwen 7, and one son. four year old Jonathan Eric Thomas. Jon Jamison, Jennifer Patrick, Cheryl Saylor, Angela Shepard and Monica Baker are all board members of the Jaymie Jamison Foundation are all are active in finding ways to raise money for the cause. Foundation funds are used locally get the work out about the disease and will eventual-
ly be used to help women with little to no insurance. Evonne Daugherty, Jon Jamison’s mother, is active in helping the foundation get the word out and spends many hours volunteering her time to the foundations fundraisers. “A few months ago, I was in Cincinnati down by Newport on the Levee with my granddaughter Hope,” Daugherty said. “All of a sudden she looked over at the Purple People Bridge and said, ‘Why don’t we have a fundraiser using the purple bridge like they do with breast cancer, bras across the bridge?’” “Well, that was all it took, and the ball was in motion. She even suggested the theme ‘Panties across the Bridge.’” Daugherty said everything just fell into place, and after contacting representatives from the Kentucky side of the bridge, they were able to rent the bridge for July 16, to hold the first ever ‘Panties across the Bridge,’ to help raise cervical cancer awareness. During the weeks before the event, the Foundation managed to rally together over 40 volunteers to help with the overwhelming task of making Panties across the

Bridge a reality. The event included stretching 4,000 pairs of panties, each clipped to a rope, across the bridge from the Kentucky side to the Ohio side, back to the Kentucky side, back to the Ohio side and nearly back to the Kentucky side. “It was really something to see all those pairs of panties that had been donated hanging on that bridge,” Daugherty
Schmidt cleared after probe by House Ethics Committee The House Ethics Committee announced Friday a unanimous decision clearing Representative Jean Schmidt of any wrongdoing regarding legal expenses associated with an ongoing court case and related matters involving a former political opponent. “I welcome the news,” Schmidt said. “The report vindicates what I have been saying all along: I have worked cooperatively with the Committee to ensure that I pay these bill s in an ethical way. I hope this will be the end of a sideshow created by
my political opponents.” Members of the Ethics Committee voted unanimously “to release a public report finding that Representative Schmidt did not knowingly violate any provision of the Code of Official Conduct or any law, rule, regulation, or other standard of conduct with respect to the receipt of gifts,” according to the Friday state ment of the chairman, Representative Jo Bonner of Alabama, and ranking member, Linda T. Sanchez of California. The Ethics Committee also authorized Schmidt, who
lives in Miami Township and represents Ohio’s 2nd Congressional District, to create and use a legal expense trust to pay bills involving a defamation lawsuit she filed last year in Clermont County Common Pleas Court against her former opponent. The trus t also can be used to pay legal bills that resulted from a complaint Schmidt filed against the former opponent with the Ohio Elections Commission, which reported in 2009 that there was clear and convincing evidence that the opponent had made false statements about her with
Lung sentenced to nine years in prison In January, a grand jury indicted Joseph Lung, 46, on five counts of Kidnapping with a specification that he was in possession of a firearm while committing the offenses, one misdemeanor count of Domestic Violence, and one count of Having Weapons While Under Disability. Judge Gusweiler accepted Lung’s plea of guilty to count one Kidnapping with the
specification that he was in the possession of a firearm while committing the offenses and count three Kidnapping. The remaining counts and the firearms specification on count three were dismissed upon a motion by the state. On July 28, Judge Gusweiler sentenced Lung to three years in prison on count one Kidnapping plus an addi-
tional three years in prison for the firearm specification and three years in prison for count three Kidnapping. The sentences will run consecutively for a total of nine years. Judge Gusweiler also ordered Lung to pay court costs and public defender fees. Lung will be subject to three years of post-release control by the Adult Parole authority upon his release from prison.
malice. If any damages are awarded to Schmidt as a result of the defamation case, the money must first be used for lawyer fees and expens es, and then to repay donors to the Jean Schmidt Legal Expense Trust. Any leftover money must be donated to charity. Schmidt said she will receive no direct or indirect financial benefit from the suit. It’s been nearly two years since Schmidt requested the Ethics Committee’s guidance on the legal bills. Her former opponent claimed Schmidt appeared to be accepting free legal services, which he alleged might be an improper gift under House rules. “As I’ve stated publicly before, I neither sought nor intended to accept free legal services,” Schmidt said. “I have been waiting for the Ethics Committee’s advice as to the best way to pay these bills. Now that I have that advice, I look forward to continuing to work cooperatively with the Committee to ensure that these bills are paid appropriately.”
Wright helps Ripley’s Loebker on his path to Eagle Scout Allan Wright, State Wildlife Officer recently took time out of his schedule to hold two meetings with Ronnie Loebker. During the meetings Officer Wright explained how the State Wildlife Laws came to be and how the laws benefit all the citizens of the community and the state. Loebker asked questions about Ohio’s poaching and trespassing laws and how people benefited from breaking these laws. Officer Wright took the time to explain these laws in detail, how they are currently enforced and how hunted animals and their parts are exploited for profit by poachers and trespassers. These meetings are a requirement for Boy Scouts to earn the Citizenship in the
Community Merit Badge. The Citizenship in the Community Merit Badge is one of the merit badges required to reach the rank of Eagle Scout in the Boy Scouts of America, which is the highest rank a scout can achieve. To achieve the rank of Eagle Scout the Scout must earn a total of 21 Merit Badges, 12 Eagle required and 9 electives, and complete an “Eagle Project” before their 18th birthday. Ronnie Loebker lives in Ripley, Ohio and is the rank of Star Scout in Boy Scouts of America Troop 221 in Maysville, Ky. This badge will complete the requirements for the rank of Life Scout and Ronnie will then be working on his final rank of Eagle Submitted Photo Scout.

Rumpke is inviting the public to its Brown County Landfill at 9427 Beyers Road, on Saturday, Aug. 27 from 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. for its third annual open house. The event will feature: • Tours of Rumpke’s operations at 10:45 a.m., 11:45 a.m. and 12:45 p.m. • Garbage trucks and heavy equipment on display • A controlled rock blasting demonstration • Games and crafts for kids • Free food “We want to make this a fun family event,” said Jim Hext, landfill manager. “Each year, we try to add something new, so visitors can better understand our business. This year, we wanted the public to gain a better understanding on how we prepare the landfill for the trash, so we are starting at the
very beginning, by showcasing how we excavate the area.” The controlled blast will occur at noon. Visitors who want to watch the blast should plan on attending the 11:45 a.m. landfill tour. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle The Adams Brown Recycling Center and the Brown County Soil and Water District will also be at the event to demonstrate some of the ways residents can reduce the amount of waste they put at the curb each week. “While landfills are the best available technology to handle waste, it is important that the public learn about waste reduction programs,” Hext said. Fun Activities When visitors are done talking trash, they can try
their hand at some of the activities, including a dunking booth. Representatives from the Georgetown Village Council, Georgetown Fire Department and Rumpke will take turns in the dunking booth to help raise money for the Georgetown Fire Department.

LARGE MONEY Today I want to talk to you about the big lie found in Matthew 28. I will begin in verse 5. “And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.” Why do you think the angel wants the women to go quickly? I believe, ladies and gentlemen, that it is because there is urgency about the business of spreading the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. There is urgency about the matter of salvation. We do not know what tomorrow will bring. Verses 8-9: “And they departed quickly from the sepulcher with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word. And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him.” I want to stop here a minute because we do not have all the details in one gospel. We have to compare all four gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John to get all the details of what happened that day. In John 20 it tells us about Mary Magdalene. Verse 1 states: “The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulcher, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulcher.” Verse 17 tells us: “Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.” This is what I want you to see here before I move on. Jesus was on a holy mission. He had already shed His blood on the cross. He had been in the tomb for three days. Now He, as our high priest and with His resurrected body, was going to take His blood, the only acceptable offering for our sin, and offer it in the temple in heaven. Only He, as our high priest, could sprinkle it on the alter behind the veil in Holy of Holies. We find this temple in Revelation 11:19 and again in Revelation 15. He offered it once and for all forever for all who will come unto Him. This wondrous event happened between the time He told Mary to
DR. CHARLES SMITH MT. ORAB BIBLE BAPTIST CHURCH www.bbcmtorab.com touch Him not and the time in Matthew 28:9 when the women came and held Him by the feet and worshipped Him. He had a physical resurrected body and so will we someday. The speed in which He traveled to heaven and back is incomprehensible to us. Don’t miss this ascension. It is of utmost importance! Now, think about this. How long will it take us to get to heaven when the Lord comes for us in the Rapture. I Corinthians 15:52 states: “In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye...” And that is how fast it took Him! Now let’s resume in Matthew 28:10: “Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me. Now when they were going, behold, some of the watch came into the city, and shewed unto the chief priests all the things that were done. And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave large money unto the soldiers, Saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept. And if this come to the governor’s ears, we will persuade him, and secure you. So they took the money, and they did as they were taught: and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day.” What a lie that was! And many were and are deceived. Don’t you be. Jesus died, was buried, and arose that day, went to heaven to offer His precious blood as a sacrifice for sin, once and for all, and returned back again for a short while. Someday He is coming in the clouds to gather His saints together to be with Him forever. Will you be left behind? If you die before the Rapture will you be in Heaven or Hell. The Bible is true, salvation is sure, God does not lie. Believe, repent, and ask Him to save your never dying soul, and He will.

Navy Seaman Recruit Brandon S. Scheek, son of Kristie S. Scheek of Ripley, recently completed U.S. Navy basic training at Recruit Training Command, Great Lakes, Ill. During the eight-week program, Scheek completed a variety of training which included classroom study and practical instruction on naval customs, first aid, firefighting, water safety and survival, and shipboard and aircraft safety. An emphasis was also placed on physical fitness.
The capstone event of boot camp is "Battle Stations". This exercise gives recruits the skills and confidence they need to succeed in the fleet. "Battle Stations" is designed to galvanize the basic warrior attributes of sacrifice, dedication, teamwork and endurance in each recruit through the practical application of basic Navy skills and the core val-
ues of Honor, Courage and Commitment. Its distinctly ''Navy'' flavor was designed to take into account what it means to be a Sailor. Scheek is a 2010 graduate of Willow Canyon High School of Surprise, Ariz. The Brown County Press would like to thank Navy Seaman Recruit Scheek for serving our country.

Retirement reception set for Mary Ayres McClain receives scholarship from Kiwanis Mary Ayres, the manager of the South Campus Learning Resources Center (LRC), is retiring effective Aug. 31, 2011, after serving Southern State Community College for 30 years. The college will honor Mary 2-4 p.m. Monday, Aug. 29, at the South Campus LRC. This event is open to the public. Known to her colleagues and friends as the ‘Queen,’ Mary came to Southern State in 1979 as a CETA worker. After a year and a half of training, she was officially hired by Southern State. She was a library aide and later was promoted to library technician. In 1995 she became the manager of the South Campus LRC and library. An outspoken advocate for library support staff, Mary has been an active member of the Ohio Library Support Staff Institute (OLSSI) and the Support Staff Interest Group (SSIG) of the Academic Library Association of Ohio (ALAO). She served as camp counselor for OLSSI and chaired SSIG several times. Mary is also a member of the American Library Association. Through her leadership, these organizations have grown over the years and now represent library support staff in most of Ohio’s libraries. When you’ve worked at a

place for over 30 years, you leave a legacy behind. Mary’s legacy is her ability to coordinate social events. She started the annual Women’s Tea and heads a team of library staff each year planning events for National Library Week. Because of Mary’s inspiration and hard work, SSCC is known far and wide every April for innovative activities and programs during National Library Week. In fact, her expertise on progra mming in the library has led to numerous speaking engagements at various conferences in Ohio. Mary was awarded the prestigious SWON Libraries Support Staff of the Year Award in 2011. She was also
awarded the Award of Appreciation from ALAO in 2009. Mary completed the associate of business degree from the Portsmouth Interstate Business College. Mary is an active member of her community in West Union. She is a member of the Adams County Women’s Club and the Ladies Christian Service. She is very involved at the Church of Christ where she serves as youth sponsor, small group leader, the ministry of discipleship, Sunday school teacher, and the Praise Team. Mary has served the college community as ACT Site Supervisor for 20 years. “We will miss Mary’s enthusiasm and her ability to program events for the library,” says SSC C librarian Louis Mays. “When you work with someone over 30 years, and they are not there anymore, it’s quite an adjustment.” Mary plans to enjoy her retirement by taking care of her husband of 31 years, Virgil ‘Blue’ Ayres. She is also writing her autobiography and plans to publish it in early 2012. She plans to spend time with her children and grandchildren and make frequent trips to her favorite city, Chicago. She also plans to write various inspirational articles at her home.

SSCC’s Patri-Tots repeats 100-percent compliance rating The Patri-Tots Learning Center at Southern State Community College in Wilmington has once again received a 100-percent compliance rating on its state licensing inspection. This is the third perfect rating in the past two years, with the previous ones being February 2010 and January 2011. Licensed child learning centers are subject to two inspections by the state licensing agency eac h year. One is announced and the other is unannounced. The visit on Aug. 1 was unannounced. Therefore, attaining a 100-percent rating at that inspection is an especially wonderful achievement. “I would like to thank the teachers for their dedication to our children and families; and for working so hard to make the Patri-Tots the high quality program that it is,” said Karee Shaw, site administrator. “We recognize that the support of our families, the community and the Patri-Tots staff at the Hillsboro campus has helped us achieve this goal. To them, we say, thank you!” Southern State houses Patri-Tots Learning Centers at Central Campus in Hillsboro and North Campus in Wilmington. Both child learning centers are licensed by the ODJFS and are open five days a week, 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., serving community members an d college students, faculty and staff. The

I would like to do some demonstration plots this fall in the 3 county area. I am interested in a one day field day in late August and another in October when the forage will be about ready to graze. We may want to take another look in the spring around the first of April. What we hope to do with these forages is shorten the time we need to feed hay on both ends of the winter feeding time. If you are interested in participating in hosting a demonstration field let me know. At last year’s Grazing School one of our speakers was Rory Lewandowski. Here is a recent article from Rory about Stockpiling. This article appeared in the Beef Cattle Letter. It's time for my annual reminder that early to midAugust is a good time to set aside some pasture paddocks to stockpile growth for winter grazing. On many farms the actual implementation of stockpiling can be traced back to management decisions in June and July as pasture paddock rotations were adjusted to set up this practice. Tall fescue is the forage of choice to stockpile for winter grazing. Compared to other cool season grass species tall fescue produces more fall growth and does the best job of maintaining forage quality throughout the winter period. Tall fescue also accumulates high levels of non-structural carbohydrates and has improved palatability when grown under cool as compared to warm or hot weather conditions. In addition, we have a high percentage of endophyte infected fescue in our area. The toxic alkaloids associated with infected fescue reduce forage palatability and depress animal performance over the summer months. However, research done in Missouri has shown that those alkaloids decrease significantly by about midJanuary in stockpiled fescue. This provides another reason why fescue should be stockpiled and used for winter grazing rather than trying to force cattle to graze it during August and September. After the initial decision is
DAVID DUGAN made to stockpile, the next decision is whether or not nitrogen fertilizer should be applied. The application of nitrogen will increase the dry matter (DM) yield of stockpiled fescue as well as the quality of the stockpiled forage. If a paddock has a uniform 30% legume percentage it may not be necessary to add supplemental nitrogen. If legumes are not uniform throughout the field or are less than 30% of the stand then supplemental nitrogen can be beneficial. Field trials done in southeastern Ohio compared the effect of nitrogen fertilization versus no nitrogen fertilization on stockpiled fescue yield. In that work, 46 lbs of nitrogen/acre applied on August 20 produced an additional 1400 lbs of DM per acre compared to a stockpiled plot with no nitrogen application. In that same study, when nitrogen application was delayed a month to September 20 there was still a yield response, but it was decreased with the fertilized plot accumulating an additional 980 lbs of DM/acre compared to the unfertilized plot. A 3-year study in Kentucky showed a yield increase, on average, of an additional 1100 lbs of DM/acre when stockpiled fescue was fertilized with 46 lbs/acre of nitrogen in midAugust compared to stockpiled fescue without any additional nitrogen fertilizer. With regard to forage quality, crude protein (CP) content is increased when nitrogen is applied to stockpiled forage. In southeastern Ohio field trials the effect of date of nitrogen fertilization was examined. Stockpiled plots received 46 lbs of nitrogen/acre on either August 20 or September 24. The plots receiving nitrogen in August averaged over 14% CP on November 3 and over 10% CP on February 11. The plots receiving nitrogen in September averaged over 17% CP on November 3 and close to 12% CP on February 11. On some farms, especially those where the stocking rate is closely matched to the pasture acreage, stockpiling paddocks for winter grazing may be linked to a decision to feed hay during the stockpiling period. This may end up being a wise decision for a couple of reasons. First, it may be the best use of low quality hay. Second, it leverages the use of low quality hay for the production and use of higher quality stockpiled forage. This stockpiled forage is more likely to match up with the nutrient requirements of pregnant cows during the winter than low quality first cutting hay. The decision to stockpile is not without risk. We have experienced dry falls the last several years. Stockpiling is dependent upon some rainfall for grass growth. Up to this point in late July, we have continued to get timely rains and soil moisture levels are good in many pastures. Grazing and clipping management decisions can
enhance the rainfall we have received and conserve soil moisture. Those paddocks that have been managed to insure that there is always at least a 4 inch residue are more likely to allow all rainfall to penetrate into the soil profile and to provide an environment where less soil moisture is lost from evaporation. Clip or graze high on those paddocks that will be stockpiled. There is nothing wrong with clipping off any seedheads and leaving a 5 to 6 inch residue to begin stockpiling. Think of it as a risk management decision. Parasite Control in Small Ruminants For those interested in raising sheep and goats, you know that parasite control is very important. There will be some online seminars and a field day in the coming weeks. The program is put together by OSU Extension. The sessions that will be available online are on August 4, 18, and 25. The following link has information about the opportunities with this program: http://vet.osu.edu/extension/sar e/parasite_control Tobacco Field Day Set The date for the Tobacco Field Day will be Aug. 24 and we will visit two locations. Last year we visited more locations and seemed to be on the road more than we were in the field so I hope we can see as much or more than we did last year in less time. The locations will be in both Adams and Brown Counties. The cooperating farms will be the Raines Farm on Nichols Ridge just northeast of SR 770 and Hall/Ring Farm just south of Georgetown. We will start out at the Raines Farm at 5 p.m. We will look at sucker control using several products that will help reduce residues. We will have different varieties to look at as well. At the Hall/Ring location we will again look at sucker control, fungicides for controlling target spot, insecticide trials and varieties plots. Please call the local OSU Extension Office so we know how many to prepare for. The light meal for the program is sponsored by Chemtura. In addition to the chemical reps that are assisting with these trials we have two University of Kentucky Tobacco Specialist that have been working with me on these plots. Crop Situation Having been on vacation for a few days, it is amazing how many things that you can get into as you attempt to catch up on a few things around the farm. There is always something that needs done from working calves, to repairing fences, to moving in round bales, to mowing pastures again, to hauling manure that did not get done earlier because of the wet spring, and the list goes on and on. Speaking of the wet spring and how much did not get done because of it that brings another thought to mind. The crops that were put in the ground much later than planned are looking pretty good for most of the area. Some areas have seen some stressed periods with the rains being spaced out a little too far, but most of the area has seen timely rains that has kept
the crops going and even the pastures are continuing to grow. While the crops and pastures continue to produce, the weeds seem to keep growing, too. In some cases, your list of things that seems to just go on and on should maybe include checking on any ground that ended up not being planted. This ground may have weeds that are thriving, and as a friend once told me that her daddy always told her was “no seeds, no weeds”. With that thought in mind, the weeds in some preventative planting fields may be getting close to producing seeds, or may already be there. An herbicide might be an option, but in most cases you may be looking at using products that could have some danger of moving to other crops, in order to do a good job on weeds that size. Another option might be to bushhog them down. If you are looking at a shortage of forages, which some people are, you may even want to work the ground and plant some type of forage. My understanding is that you simply can’t take a crop from the fields prior to November 1st. There are several options for grazing or even baling if you are set up to wet bale. Dry baling forages would be a challenge in November. Dates to Remember Aug. 16 Southwest Corn Growers Field Day in Washington C.H.

wouldn’t be so easy to be hunted down, with men with guns and dogs, like an animal.” Corman went on to talk about Reverend John Rankin a Presbyterian minister and educator who devoted his life to the antislavery movement. “We all know that all men are created equal,” he continued, “And they have the same rights to freedom as anyone, no matter what level of society they come from.” Corman thanked everyone for all their years of hard work and determination to restore both the Rankin House and the John P. Parker House. Also speaking at the event was Burt Logan from the Ohio Historical Society. “The preservation of this wonderful history is important,” he began, “and with people like these members of
the Ripley Heritage and the John Parker House Historical Society, this part of history has been preserved forever. These museums are historical landmarks.” Carol Stivers, president of the John P. Parker Historical Society, explained to visitors that the group worked from 1996 until 2002 to restore the John P. Parker House. “We applied for grants and held all kinds of fundraisers,” she said, “We were finally able to finish the restoration efforts and now our museum is open to the public and our displays are always changing.” Corman stated that the certificates were especially appropriate with the current 150 anniversary of the Civil War.

Little, the future of the village was discussed. In attendance of the meeting was Brown County Auditor Doug Green, who stated that St. Martin currently had no elected officials in office. He said there was no mayor nor council members running the village, only concerned citizens doing what they could. “The problem came when this was all brought to the attention of the budget commission,” Green said, (Green is a member of the budget commission along with Little and Connie Patrick, county treasurer). According to Kathy Jones with the Brown County Board of Elections, residents of the village submitted its petition to her office and signatures have been
validated. The resolution which will appear on the ballot reads: A resolution calling a special election for the question of the surrender of corporate powers of the Village of St. Martin, Ohio and declaring an emergency.
The ballot to be cast at the election will contain the words, ‘For Surrender’ or ‘Against Surrender.’ A majority of the voters is necessary for passage of the resolution. St. Martin is located in Perry Township. Perry Township Trustee, Louis Johnson stated that the Village of St. Martin is now in control of its own destiny. “What ever they decide to do, the township trustees will deal with,” Johnson said. “If they dissolve the village, it will come back under the jurisdiction of the township and have to follow the same zoning rules as every one else.”
Court sides with Sheriff in Varnau suit CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 for their ruling. The case was sent back to the 12th District for review. A large part of the 12th district ruling is based on the principle that Varnau cannot claim to be entitled to a term of office that has already expired. Varnau did not run against Wenninger in 2000 or 2004. The ruling says “A person other than the attorney general or a prosecuting attorney can bring a Quo Warranto action, as a private citizen, only when that person is personally claiming title to a public office. Further, the individual must be claiming title to a current public office as a Quo Warranto action is rendered moot by the expiration of a term of office.

and can be viewed through paintings and items found at the site. After being sold to an elderly doctor at the age of eight, the doctor taught the Parker to read and write. Eventually Parker was able to buy his freedom at the age of 18. He later established a successful foundry in Ripley. He is well known for delivering hundreds of slaves trying to escape to John Rankin, another conductor in Ripley who harbored the fugitive slaves. The John P. Parker House stands proudly next to the beautiful Ohio River on Front Street in Ripley. The Rankin House is also located in Ripley. To visit and tour the restored home of John P. Parker or the Rankin House the society can be contacted at (937) 392-4188.
“Moot” is a legal term which means that something is not legally relevant. The ruling continues that “Wenninger is currently holding a four year term of office as a result of winning the sheriff’s race in the 2008 election. Accordingly, the court can only examine his qualifications and right to hold office pursuant to the 2008 election. Wenninger’s qualifications, or alleged lack thereof, for the 2000 election and the 2004 election are moot as (those) terms as sheriff have long since expired.” The court then continued, saying that Wenninger’s time in office from 2001 as a supervisor and peace officer qualified him as a candidate in the 2008 election.

Fayetteville grad Mark Williams to play organized professional baseball for Milwaukee Brewers organization By Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press There couldn’t have been a better place for Mark Williams to find out the news that he had hoped for his entire life. Williams, a former Fayetteville baseball standout who graduated in 2007, had just finished throwing his sixth straight scoreless outing for the Washington Wild Things on the road against the Florence Freedom, who play just an hour away from his hometown. With the game so close to home, nearly 60 family members and friends came to Florence to watch Williams pitch in a professional baseball game as well as to celebrate his father’s birthday. But after the game, Williams’ family and friends had another reason to celebrate. He had just signed a contract with the Milwaukee Brewers, a Major League Baseball (MLB) team. Needless to say Williams, and his family, were excited. And he was still pumped up about it on Monday afternoon when he was reached by phone. “It’s a blast,” he said of signing with the Brewers. “I’ve always dreamed of play-
ing professional baseball...Especially coming from, as they say, little ‘ole Fayetteville.” After starring for the Rockets baseball team in high school, Williams went on to play college baseball at Marietta College in southeast Ohio. His college career culminated this past spring, his senior season, when he helped lead the Pioneers to the Division III College World Series title in May. Williams stellar senior season, one in which he finished 8-1 with a 1.59 earned run average (ERA) and 97 strikeouts in 79 innings on the mound as a starter and late inning reliever, caught the attention of Brewers scout Roger Janeway. Though he had liked Williams, Janeway wasn’t able to get the Brewers to draft him during the MLB June Amateur Draft likely because they either didn’t have the room or the money. However, Williams was selected to participate in the invitation only try-out for the Wild Things a week after his college season had ended. At the suggestion of Janeway, the Wild Things signed Williams three days later. He had been with the team since June 20.
The signing marked the first time a Fayetteville graduate had played a sport professionally. Though Williams was excited for the opportunity to continue playing baseball, he initially struggled with the Wild Things. “It was really awesome,” he said of his time with the Wild Things. “I started off really rough. My first few outings had skyrocketed my ERA to about 14. Three weeks after that, I settled in and had six scoreless outings in a row--(covering) 5 1/3 innings while striking out 13 and giving up no runs. I think it was nerves and getting used to a new place and new level of baseball. I finally got settled in and trusted my stuff.” Though his final line for the Wild Things, who are located in Washington, PA, wasn’t great (1-1, 7.54 ERA), his last six outings had made him a desirable candidate for a couple of different MLB teams. In fact, after the reliever had threw the scoreless, two strikeout inning against Florence last Friday night he was pulled aside by Wild Things manager Darin Everson as he entered the clubhouse after the game. Everson, who was on the
phone with the Florida Marlins, told him he was about to be signed to play organized professional baseball (meaning affiliated with a MLB team). A couple minutes later, Janeway had Williams sign his contract with the Brewers. “I was happy and on cloud nine (my family and friends) were all there and that I threw well,” Williams said. “(Everson) was on the phone with another major league team about me but the Brewers pulled the trigger. I’m still a little nervous about it but excited.” Williams was set to fly to Appleton, WI on Tuesday to join his new team, the Brewers Single-A affiliate-the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers. The Timber Rattlers season ends on September 5 but Williams said he may be selected to play in the Brewers Instructional League after that. Ironically, Williams organized professional career will begin where his college career ended with a championship, at Fox Cities Stadium in Appleton. “It’s pretty exciting to go back to the field where I celebrated my last college win.” he said.

Broncos host Glen Este for football scrimmage as season approaches By Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press
The Brown County Press/ANDREW WYDER
The Western Brown defense meets at the ball carrier during the Broncos scrimmage with Glen Este last Tuesday morning at Kibler Stadium.
The Western Brown football team got its first chance to hit somebody wearing another colored jersey on Monday morning when they scrimmaged Glen Este at Kibler Stadium. For two hours, the teams got to run plays against one another, play in game situations and practice their kicking games. The scrimmage was set up so that each team was given four possessions (two for the
first teams, two for the second teams) where they had a set number of plays to try to score. Then on the final two possessions the first teams came back on to the field to play in game like situations where they had to get first downs to stay on the field. Given it was the first scrimmage of the year, it was a bit sloppy. Both teams have average days on both sides of the ball. Glen Este was able to get the only score on the board during their third time with the ball. Their second team
offense scored on the Broncos second team defense. Neither first team offense was able to push the ball across the goal line despite moving the ball down the field. Broncos coach Evan Dreyer said the scrimmage will help them as they move towards the regular season. “It’s better for us to know we have to get better,” he said. The Broncos will get another opportunity to just that when they travel to Milford on Saturday morning for another scrimmage.

Mix of experience and Despite youth and youth hope to carry inexperience, WB Broncos on the links tennis team confident By Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press
B R O A D S H E E T
As the Western Brown golf team gets its season underway this week, it will look to its three seniors as they prepare for a tough battle for the Southern Buckeye Conference championship. Seniors Dakota Pack, Mcree Kidwell and Justin Nickell will lead coach Dave Bickett’s 12th Bronco squad on the links. All three players have the experience necessary to lead an otherwise young team. “They’ve all been through the adversity of playing in the SBC so they know what’s expected of them,” Bickett said. “They know they’re going to have to carry the major load for this team if we expect to try and finish in the top, to win the SBC.” The trio will play in the top three, of the six on the varsity golf team, spots for the Broncos. Bickett said there isn’t a set lineup yet but those three will always make up the top three positions in some combi-
nation. And as the only three returners from last season’s SBC American Division runner-up team, they will have to play consistent all year long for the Broncos to have a chance for a league title. “They’re going to need to shoot in the low 40’s for us to compete in the SBC,” Bickett said. However, even though the Broncos are young and somewhat inexperienced, there have been a few pleasant surprises as they have prepared to get ready for the season. Junior Brad Hamblin has been chief among them. Hamblin has placed himself in a position to follow the three seniors and play in the fourth spot in the Broncos top six. His improved play could go a long way in helping the Broncos compete in the league. “He’s been a surprise,” Bickett said. “I knew he was going to improve but I didn’t expect him to improve the way he has. It looks like I’ve got my fourth golfer. If he keeps going

the way he’s going, it puts us right in there with everybody else.” Four players will be in the mix for the final two spots as the fifth and sixth golfers. Junior Dustin Canter, sophomores Cain Schneider and Caleb Taylor as well as freshman Akio Purdin will compete for the final two spots throughout the season. The Broncos will have have their work cut out for them if they will be able to take home the SBC American Division title. All the teams, which include New Richmond, Amelia, Bethel, Clermont Northeastern and Goshen, will field strong teams this year. Bethel has edged out the Broncos for the title the past two seasons while New Richmond and Amelia will field very strong teams this season as will CNE and Goshen. The Broncos do have a winning tradition to fall back upon despite the lack of experience as they have finished first or second in the league in each of the past nine seasons. “The kids know what it takes to repeat,” Bickett said. “It’s just going to be a little harder this year to try get up there because the competition in the league. It’s about the strongest it’s been in a while.” The Broncos opened their season on Wednesday morning when they played in the Bethel at Friendly Invitational Meadows Golf Course. Unfortunately, the Broncos didn’t get the season off to the best start as they struggled during the 18 holes and finished fourth out of the seven teams who took part. “Our top four kids struggled,” Bickett said. “Whether it was first match jitters or some other reason, we did not play as good as we should have.”
By Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press The Western Brown girls tennis team will be young and inexperienced when it steps on the court Monday to kick off its 2011 season. But that doesn’t mean that the Lady Broncos won’t be successful. Though not having a lot of expectations coming into the start of practice, Lady Broncos coach Max Vavilov said he has been pleasantly surprised how well the newcomers have played so far in practice and has high hopes for the team this year. “Like I said, I was expecting our team to be a lot weaker this year with all the seniors we lost,” he said. “I was pleasantly surprised with the girls who came out. They’ve been coming to open courts all summer and some of the girls took lessons. Really for the first time picking up rackets they’re doing really, really well.” The newcomers to this years squad are juniors Hannah Wiesenhahn and Katie Young as well as freshmen Hannah Keller and Katie Young. Despite not having a lot of experience in the sport, the newcomers have come in and challenged the returning players for spots, which Vavilov won’t name until right before their first match. He said they have performed well so far. “The rookies that we’ve got are actually very athletic and leaning really quick so I’ve got a lot of hope,” he said. “Of course they’re all going to get their first test on Monday.” When they step on the court Monday morning, they will have five returning players. They include seniors
Morgan Wright and Taylor Hopkins as well as juniors Jessica Young, Anna Yockey and Megan Puckett. Wright will lead the way for the Lady Broncos as she did last year. She will be back in the No. 1 singles position, the only spot Vavilov said is locked up at this moment, for the second straight year. He said he expects a lot of out Wright this year coming off her big junior campaign that saw her named Southern Buckeye Conference American Division Player of the Year. “She had a pretty incredible season last year,” Vavilov said. “I think, in the league, she only lost once. She has pretty good goals for her season.

She’s matured a lot. Like I said she’s got a lot more experience, she’s been playing all summer long. So I have high expectations for her.” After seeing what he has, Vavilov has lofty expectations for the team this year. Especially after last year, where they lost only twice-both to SBC American Division champ Amelia. “We took second in the league by losing to Amelia in our last match,” he said. “Our goal is to be first in the league. I think that anything less (and) we’d just be repeating what we did last year.” The Lady Broncos kick off their season next Monday at home against Clinton-Massie at 10 a.m.

Big Red Book Summer Nationals at MRP By Thomas Moler Contributor It was another hot and humid southern Ohio summer night Friday, July 29 at Moler Raceway Park (MRP) for the Big Red Book Summer Nationals. The Sunesis Construction Late Models were the featured class paying $2,500 to win, and the increased purse attracted some tough competitors from around the region. The evening would begin with one lap of qualifying and it was Crosslanes, WV’s Zack Dohm setting fast time with a lap of 12.858 to secure the pole in heat one. Following Invocation, Bethany Moler, on her 12th birthday, drove a Chevette around for the parade laps with the American Flag during the National Anthem as the crowd cheered her on. In the first heat race, Dohm was charged with the caution after getting together with Steve Casebolt in turn four which sent Casebolt to the win. In heat two, it was “The Rattler” Jason Ratliff of Campblesville, KY taking the win with track points leader Chad Stapleton securing heat three to set the lineup for the feature. Casebolt would jump to the lead early with Ratliff, Stapleton and “Insane” Duane Chamberlain in hot pursuit. The four of them would go three, and sometimes four, wide as they battled furiously for the top four spots as Casebolt leading the first half of the race. After Ratliff left for the pits, as he was running second at the halfway point, it would set up Chamberlain to take on Casebolt for the lead. After two laps in second he would make the pass and set sail for the win in his Sheltra Motorsports number 23.

Casebolt would hang onto second with Greg Johnson coming home third followed by Stapleton and Barry Doss to round out the top five. It was another fine field of Mt. Orab Ford UMP Modifieds on hand with 26 cars making the call. It would be the familiar faces of Weasel Rhodes, Matt Hamilton and Doug Adkins, all multiple feature winners at MRP, taking the checkers in the preliminary races. In the feature it was all Hamilton, though, as he jumped to a large lead from the pole early and would lead all 20 laps to take his second straight victory at MRP. Rhodes would come home second with Adkins taking third to maintain the season points lead. Dave Baldwin and Randy Wash rounded out the top five. The Holman Motors Chevettes would bring some heat on this night as well with another hotly contested AMain. Rusty Yarger would jump to the lead early but Derrick Davis would overtake him after two laps for the lead. The man on the move was Miles Tarvin, from his sixth starting
position, and he was able to overtake Davis on lap 11 for the lead and, despite heavy pressure, would hang on for the win. Davis, Yarger, Branden Elam and Jeff Waton in the top five. Yarger and Davis took heat race victories. The Big Red Book Street Stock division has been a tight points battle all year between defending track champion Jeremie Bretz and Bub Balsley. Last week, after Balsley took the win, he moved into sole possession of first in the track points standings after being tied. Those two would battle it out once again on this night with Balsely leading every lap of the heat while Bretz worked his way through the field to secure second. In the feature it was a different story as Bretz jumped to the lead from the outside and never looked back as he led every lap to take another win, but Balsley would maintain the points lead with a second place finish. Shannon Enoch, Todd Anstaett and Paul Baker would finish out the top five. Friday, August 5th will be Late Models, Modifieds, Street Stocks Chevettes and Mechanics races.

UC Clermont Volleyball team expects big things for this season A restocked and rejuvenated UC Clermont volleyball team is back in the gym and preparing for a promising 2011 season. Coming off a 2010 campaign in which the Cougars captured their seventh consecutive conference championship including a second consecutive Ohio Collegiate Athletic Conference (OCAC) crown, they won the OCAC post-season tournament and advanced to the Elite Eight of the United States Collegiate Athletic Association (USCAA) national championship tournament (their fifth consecutive trip) and the 2011 squad is looking to further enhance the great tradition of the Clermont volleyball program. The 2011 Cougars feature a good mix of talent and experience. Eight returning players from last year’s team are joined by six newcomers who comprise one of the best recruiting classes in the history of the program. The squad will also have outstanding depth in all positions. “I’m very excited about this team,” said UC Clermont head coach Joe Harpring. “We have so many experienced players returning from a 2010 squad which had to really struggle for everything they achieved. They are battle-tested. The incoming freshmen and transfers add some outstanding speed and power. We have height, depth, good floor defense and many offensive weapons – all key ingredients.” The UC Clermont roster features two seniors – 5’4”defensive specialist Cindy Votel (Bellevue H.S.), a Second Team All-Conference selection in 2010, and 5’8”setter/outside hitter Lauren Bradford (Norwood), a USCAA First Team All-American and reigning OCAC Player of the Year. Three juniors further enhance the experience the 2011 Cougars feature. Rachel Hays (Amelia) earned First Team All-Conference honors as a 5’11”middle hitter and 5’8” setter Courtney Davis (Western Brown) was named Second Team All-Conference in 2010. The 5’7” defensive specialist Rachel Ferguson (Norwood) adds veteran leadership to the group. Three sophomores who saw

The 2011 UC Clermont volleyball team looks to improve on its strong 2010 season. Team members pictured first row, lr: Courtney Davis, Lauren Bradford, Cindy Votel, Becca Walton, Rachel Ferguson, Harley Morris and Courtney Maier. Pictured second row, l-r: Haley Weber, Rachel Mullins, Rachel Hays, Emily Rogers-Fightmaster, Kaitlyn Miller, Aja Pettit and Katie Sipe.
significant playing time in 2010 also return. Becca Walton 5’3” (Mother of Mercy) will switch to a setter role for the coming campaign. Emily RogersFightmaster, at 6’1”, will return to the middle hitter position and 5’10” Haley Weber (Mariemont) will fill both outside and right side hitter slots. The incoming class is deep and talented. This class includes 6’1” middle/right side hitter and redshirt freshman Rachel Mullins (Eastern Brown), 5’7” outside hitter Katie Sipe (St. Bernard), 5’7” outside hitter Harley Morris (Simon Kenton), 5’3” defensive specialist Courtney Maier (Newport Central Catholic), 5’9” outside hitter Kaitlyn Miller (Sycamore) and 5’8” outside/middle hitter Aja Pettit (Goshen and transfer from Notre Dame College). Harpring will be at the helm for his eighth year as head coach and 11th year with the Clermont program. He is joined on his staff by one returnee and one newcomer. Former player, and UC Clermont Hall of Fame inductee, Meagan Ooten starts her sixth season as a Cougar coach. Tom Regensberger begins his first season as an assistant coach. Regensberger is a veteran high school and club volleyball coach – working formerly in the Anderson and Mount Notre Dame high school programs and currently on staff with the Cincy Peppers volleyball club. The Cougars will face another interesting and challenging season in conference play. The
2010 OCAC title race went to the wire with four teams in contention up to the last week. Ohio Christian and Southern State both featured young teams in 2010 and should benefit from the experience gained by these players. Both Ohio State-Marion and Clark State lost some outstanding players to graduation but should still be quite strong with talented incoming freshmen added to their respective rosters. UC Clermont kicks off the 2011 campaign with a conference road match at Southern State on August 23. The Cougars open the home portion of their schedule with an oldfashioned baseball-style doubleheader against West Virginia University-Parkersburg on Saturday, September 3 at 12 p.m. The home slate of contests for 2011 also includes the annual Cougar Classic tri-match on Sunday, September 18, as well as the Tailgate Party and Senior Night. Among many challenging road contests, the team will travel to Pittsburgh for the Penn State-Beaver Invitational in late August. “I’d like to encourage people to come see this team,” said Harpring. “They will be fun to watch. I’ve enjoyed the level of play and energy they have already shown in training sessions. These kids will definitely turn some heads.” For more information about the team and the 2011 schedule visit: http://www.ucclermont.edu/ath letics/WomensVolleyball.html.

The Western Brown Touchdown Club and Football Program would like to announce their partnership in Operation Buckeye Guard, along with other Ohio high schools. We are proud to be one of the Ohio football teams that want to recognize our state’s service members, especially in the light of the 10 year anniversary of 9-11 this September. This operation was first started as a grassroots movement for all Ohio high school football teams to wear the 37th unit patch. In the Spring of 2011, the Mohawk High School Football team ‘adopted’ Charlie Company, 1-148th Infantry, 37th Infantry Brigade Combat Team. After that, an upwelling of support from organizations such as the OHSAA, OHSFCA (Ohio High School Football Coaches Association) and the Ohio Army National Guard grew into Operation Buckeye Guard. Their first goal was to have every high school football team player in the state show their support for the 37th IBCT by displaying the unit patch, along with the American flag, as a decal on the backs of their helmets. It is a small gesture to show them that we support them, along with their families, during this time. If you look at the helmets this year our high school Bronco players will wear these decals with pride. The second goal was to heighten awareness so every unit that is part of the IBCT (pending deploying to Afghanistan) has at least one school ‘adopt’ them. Adoption would include the possibility of dedicating a home game to the IBCT or even offering the school’s facilities for the unit to have their Call to Duty and

The arts helping the arts – that’s the goal of the second annual Art Paint-Out auction to be held Saturday, Aug. 20, during the Lake Waynoka Art Festival slated for the weekend of Aug. 19-21. Doors will open at 5:30 p.m. Saturday with dinner and a wine reception preceding the auction. Proceeds from the auction go toward the Lake Waynoka Civic Club and Ohio Plein Air Society Art Scholarship for students of Southern State Community College. “During the weekend, some of the best artists in the tri-state will be painting fresh ‘plein air’ art at Lake Waynoka, as well as throughout the area of Adams, Brown and Highland counties and Mason and Bracken counties in Kentucky,” said Joanne Edwards, festival coordinator. Plein air—a French term meaning “in the open air”—is a style of painting that is produced outdoors in real time with natural lighting. Artists will arrive Friday to begin painting and will continue through Saturday afternoon. Tickets for Saturday evening’s event at the Lake Waynoka Lodge are $20 and include dinner with a wine reception, and the ticket price can be credited toward the purchase of a work of art. On Sunday, an art exhibit and sale will be held from 12 noon to 3 p.m. at the front lawn of the Lake Waynoka Lounge (or inside the lodge in case of inclement weather). All artwork will be juried by nationally known artists. “The auction will feature the fresh ‘plein air’ works and attendees will be able to purchase these paintings for well below the artists’ usual prices,” said Edwards. “The proceeds benefit art scholar-

Creature Feature Body language and pets If you and your dog landed anywhere on earth and were greeted by a local person and his dog, it would take mere seconds before the two dogs understood each other. You, however, would be left to wonder if you used the proper greeting, the right etiquette, and would probably have a difficult time communicating anything to the other person. A dog’s proficiency in reading body language should come as no surprise since, as pack members, they communicate through signals and watch for the actions and reactions of the other pack member. When two dogs meet, they carry out a series of very meaningful actions. They circle and sniff each other, gathering and exchanging information. Dogs learn body language from their mothers during the first eight weeks of their lives. If a dog misses out on such training, he will have trouble communicating with other dogs throughout life. There is no teacher for doghuman interaction, but you can be sure that if you present unclear messages to a dog, you will make him anxious, bewildered, and less likely to obey you. A pacifying posture is used when a dog acknowledges another's higher social ranking or to inhibit another's aggression. This is the cringing, low to the ground, slinking, tongue protruding, ears folded back, paw lifted, squinty-eyed dog that has been left uncrated at home, done something naughty, and is now trying to make himself as small as possible to appease his leader – YOU! Most people take this posture to mean that the dog “knows” he has done something wrong. The dog does not feel guilt – he's just trying to keep you happy by acknowledging your leadership as you loom over him. Being higher than another dog is a signal of dominance. When people tower over a dog, the message is similar. The opposite message is conveyed if a person lies on the floor next to a dog, allows the dog to sit next to him on a couch, or permits the dog to sit on his lap. In these instances, the message is one of social equality or deference. With respect to lap sitters, remember the implications by asking yourself, “In this situation, who is the king and who is the throne?” A direct, full-frontal approach shows confidence and intention to challenge. You should never walk directly toward a dog you don't know in case he's dominant, particularly if he happens to be eating, resting, or chewing on a bone. Also, you should never walk directly toward a dog that is fearful of people, as your approach will be viewed as a threat. A fearful dog should always be approached indirectly using a curved trajectory, as this is how dogs approach each other when they’re first meeting. A dog's instinct is to look away from another dog's eyes to avoid challenging him. Dogs will naturally tend to look away from us, unless they are challenging us or we have trained them to make eye contact. If we stare at them, the signal we
DAN MEAKIN CREATURE FEATURE
transmit is one of confrontation. A dominant dog will stare back, growl, and escalate aggressive behavior until the other party backs down, whereas a very submissive dog will squat or roll and urinate to show deference when stared at. Hugging a dog around the neck is likewise viewed as a threatening or challenging gesture. The muzzle and nape of the neck are sensitive areas for dogs. They are sites at which the dog's mother would deliver messages of chastisement, admonishment and reminders about her leadership. The most common human offenders of this type of contact are children, who naturally lack authority because of their small size and inferior status within the family “pack”. Equally worth of examination is the body language of cats. Ever seen your cat doing a little dance, involving lifting and shaking each paw in turn while its tail quivers? This cat is showing disgust about something! Every cat owner has also seen “the grimace.” The cat’s mouth is slightly open, with the nose and upper lip drawn upward. The mouth is open slightly and the nose is barely wrinkled. The cat has a faraway look, and what he's actually doing is savoring certain pheromonal odors on the breeze. A cat rubbing its body along an arm or leg of its human is not only a way in which to attract attention and possibly a bit of food; it is also a way of “marking” its human as its own using scent glands located around its mouth.
One of the most confusing aspects of feline body language is the cat who lies with his stomach and chest exposed. This conveys happiness, trust, and comfort (or an overweight cat, as it is more comfortable for them); however, this cat may also be presenting himself this way in order to defend himself in an instant with all four sets of claws. The cat’s tail is one of the best indicators of his mood. A still, raised tail means a friendly greeting. A sudden whip of the tail shows a threat of attack. The tip of a tail moving means dissatisfaction or impatience. A cat with tail held high and twitching shows excitement, but this is often mistaken for anger. The position of the whiskers also says a great deal. When a cat is excited, tense and ready to act, the whiskers will be pointed forward and fanned out. On a calm or comfortable cat, the whiskers point outward and are less spread apart. A cat that is hunting prey will thrust its whiskers forward. The shy, timid or reserved cat will bunch the whiskers together and flatten them out to the side of the face, signifying fright. Ears pointed forward can convey friendly interest. Ears that are pricked up and turned slightly backward indicate a warning that an attack is contemplated. Ears fully erect but turned toward the back of the head indicate anger. A frightened cat lays the ears down flat (he is folding his ears down to protect them from the harm that he feels is imminent.) A cat playing or hunting will hold the ears open, erect and slightly forward. Please be aware and understand the body language of your pet! Talk to your veterinarian about any behavior your unfamiliar with!

Groundbreaking at Mt. Nebo United Methodist On Sunday, July 24, the congregation of Mt. Nebo United Methodist Church gathered on the north part of the property to break ground for a new church building. Many of those in attendance helped pull a one bottom horse drawn plow through the soil. The 10:30 a.m. ceremony marked the beginning of a project to build a larger church building which will better accommodate the church’s growing ministries. Mt. Nebo presently has seating for only one hundred and has been offering three Sunday morning worship opportunities to provide the needed space. However, the new building will enable them to welcome nearly three hundred people to worship services. It will also include a large and welcoming entry area, better space for children, youth and adult ministries, and a warming kitchen. The present church building and administration building will remain in use and the addition of offices and other ministry space is planned for future expansion. A video of the ground breaking can be accessed through a link on the Mt. Nebo’s website: mtneboumcoh.com

Pictured above are Bob and Judy Neu and grandson Ryan on their beautifully restored Massey Harris, which was in last year's classic tractor drive sponsored by the Brown County Institute for the Enhancement of Education. Their tractor pulled a wagon that was equipped with seating for the leisurely ride along the back roads of Brown County where they were able to enjoy the scenery at a slower pace. To be able to have so much fun while also helping Brown County children made it a great day. Tractors will leave the Ohio Valley Machinery Show grounds on Saturday, Aug. 20, at 2 pm. for the two hour escorted drive before returning to the showgrounds. Tractors must be 30 years old or older, be able to travel at 8 to 10 mph, on rubber (no duals), with an SMV sign. Assistance will be available in case of breakdowns and bringing a chain in a good idea. Entry fee will be $40.00 on the day of the drive, save $10 by preregistering during the OVAM show. For more information call (937) 239-8234 or visit us at the OVAM show.
