Hensley confession heard in murder trial BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press The murder trial of Joseph Hensley began on August 22. Ten women and two men were selected for the jury on Monday, with three men as alternates. During her opening statement, Brown County Prosecuting Attorney Jessica Little referred to the case as a “Dirty Deed Done Dirt Cheap”. That is a reference to the approximately $900 and a four wheeler offered to Hensley by Dallas Tincher to allegedly murder John Carpenter in Aberdeen in April of 2010. Tincher was convicted of Conspiracy and Complicity to murder in January and sentenced to 28 years to life in prison. Little told the jury that the evidence will show that Hensley told Tincher that he would kill Carpenter, and that Hensley did so. She noted that Hensley allegedly told at least three people that he committed the crime and that he even confessed to the shooting to Brown County Detective Buddy Moore. Hensley Attorney Steve

Wenke said during his opening remarks that much of what jurors heard Little say would not be disputed. Wenke that Hensley did indeed confess to the murder...but that jurors would learn that he did it because he believed he was saving the life of his girlfriend, Sarah Clemens. Wenke also said there were elements of the case that raised questions and that “We are here because there is reasonable doubt” that Joseph Hensley murdered John Carpenter. On Tuesday, August 23, the first witness called was Lieutenant Donnie Wagner of the Brown County Sheriff’s Office. Wagner was the lead detective on the case. He testified about what he and other investigators did when that arrived at the scene of Carpenters murder on Stringtown Road. Wagner also talked about the call he received from Eric Dickerson which pointed authorities in the direction of Hensley. Wagner testified that he he met with Dickerson twice and gave him a recording device. Wagner discussed how

Dickerson then met with Sarah Clemens, and that search warrants were generated for the Hensley and Tincher residences as a result of that recording. Tincher was arrested on April 30. Hensley was in custody at the Brown County Jail on unrelated charges. On cross examination, Wenke asked Wagner if he pursued other leads and suspects after Dickerson became involved. Wagner replied that other leads had been followed up on, but that once Dickerson came forward, Hensley and Tincher became the focus of the case. Wenke brought up other names, including that of Joey Watson. Watson was seriously injured by Carpenter when he was hit by a car that Carpenter was driving. Carpenter went to prison for vehicular assault. Wenke said that Watson was known to have an “axe to grind” with Carpenter. Wenke also brought up another individual that was supposedly owed a drug debt by Carpenter. Wagner replied that those leads were followed up on, but

they became less important once the alleged involvement of Hensley became clear. On re-direct examination, Brown County Prosecutor Chris Van Harlingen asked Wagner, “Does it make sense to you to follow other leads when you have someone in custody that has already confessed?” Wagner replied “No.” Brown County Detective Lieutenant Carl Smith was next to testify. Smith testified about confirming that Hensley and Tincher purchased a gun from Robert Short of Sardinia. Smith also testified that Short identified both men from a lineup presented to him. Smith also discussed getting cell phone records that confirmed that Hensley called Tinchers cell phone repeatedly in the area of the murder and around the same time of the killing. On Wednesday, August 24, Brown County Detective Buddy Moore took the stand. Moore discussed how he and Smith worked to deceive Hensley into giving them more information on the murder. Moore said he was interCONTINUED ON PAGE 6

F’ville-Perry board signs 3-year contract with teachers, but not without hesitation By Martha Jacob The Brown County Press A majority of the Fayetteville-Perry Local School District Board of Education members expressed hesitancy in signing an agreement for a three-year contract with the teachers union. The tentative contract approved by the board called for a 3-year base freeze starting in the school year 2011-2012 through the 2013-2014 school year. Superintendent Raegan White read the contract aloud at the August 18 board meeting. The contract calls for a 3-

year base salary freeze, and the board will honor salary schedule and column and step increases for all three years. However in the 2011-2012 contract year, teachers receiving steps shall only net one-half of the total value of the step, payable beginning on the 13th payroll in that contract year. The salary of the 2012-2013 year reflects the total amount of the previous step and any additional steps the teacher is eligible to receive. Supplemental salary steps shall remain frozen during the three years of the collective bargaining agreement. All district employees shall be subject to

in July. That is down from 10.9 percent in June. The .3 percent drop is the second largest decline in the region. Only Clinton County had a larger drop, with the unemployment rate dropping .6 percent, going from 14.0 percent to 13.4 percent. Other counties in the area were essentially flat, with Adams County going from 12.8 percent in June to 12.9 percent in July. Clermont and Highland counties both saw their rate decline .1 percent, with Clermont County ending up with a 9.1 percent jobless rate in July. The rate in Highland County was 13.1 percent. The top jobless rate in the state continues to be found in Pike County, with July’s number coming in at 15.6 percent. The second highest rate is in Meigs County at 14.4 percent.

the amounts on the supplemental salary schedule while nondistrict employees will be compensated as per discretion of the board. After the reading of the contract, board member Angela Murphy said that she had something she wanted to say about the contract. “Before we vote on this contract, I’d like to say something about these negotiations regarding the teacher’s part,” Murphy began, “I want to make sure that the public understands that there is a freeze on the base, but they are still getting their steps, their increments and for their education salary steps.

And this part is not a complete freeze.” Murphy explained that the teachers are still getting a raise, per se, it’s just not a raise in their base. “I personally feel that there could have been a little more negotiating on their (the teachers) part for where we could have had a complete freeze,” she added. “The reason, right now, that we have a 5-year forecast that looks decent, is because we have laid people off and we have implemented the pay-toparticipate. We have had positions within our district that CONTINUED ON PAGE 11

Board of Elections certifies Nov. ballot BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press The Brown County Board of Elections certified petitions for candidates and issues to be placed on the November 8, 2011 ballot on August 22. One issue that has drawn attention is whether residents the village of St. Martin will dissolve their village. The Ohio Auditor of State recently declared St. Martin as “unauditable” and has given village officials 90 days to provide enough documentation to make an audit possible. Even if the village dissolves,

the Auditor’s office has stated that the audit must still take place. The village of Mt. Orab is also seeking additional 1.5 mills for the operation of the village police department and Lewis Township is seeking an additional 1.5 mills for five years for road repairs and maintenance. Four businesses are also seeking permission from voters to sell liquor. Here is the list of races for township, village and school board positions as well as issues that will be before CONTINUED ON PAGE 10

400K in road work done in Mount Orab

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

BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press Parents and other drivers on West Main Street in Mount Orab found more traffic and turn lanes as the new school year got underway. The West Main work and other projects cost $418,712, with the state contributing ninety percent. The village of Mount Orab contributed $41,871 dollars. Mayor Bruce Lunsford said the primary need for the project was safety. “The traffic is heavy out there all the time, but mornings and afternoons when school is in session, it’s a nightmare”, Lunsford said. In an effort to ease the traffic congestion, the road was widened to accommodate four lanes of traffic in front of the Western Brown campus. Right and left turn lanes were also added on Bronco Boulevard and Campus Drive to help traffic move out of the campus and onto the highway. Right and left turn lanes were also added on Boyd Road. “Before we did the work, it wasn’t uncommon to see ten or fifteen cars lined up behind

someone trying to turn left onto Main Street from Boyd Road”, Lunsford said. “Now, hopefully traffic will be able to move a little quicker with that dedicated left turn lane.”

Western Brown Superintendent Christopher Burrows couldn’t be happier about the work. “It’s a blessing to have”, he said. “We are moving our high

school traffic out of the campus five or ten minutes faster than last year and (the work) has really helped our traffic flow.” He also had praise for Lunsford. CONTINUED ON PAGE 12

The second year it could save the district up to $90,000, just by changing the way we do things in our buildings. “And even though we have contracted for four years, their services will not end.” Energy Education regional president, David Glessner spoke briefly about the plan and said his company now has more than 1,100 clients in 48 states. “There’s no downside to this program,” Glessner said. “The costs for the school will be made up within the next fours years in savings to energy costs.” The Energy Education company has earned the 2011 Energy Star Award for sus-

the two vans purchased by the school for transportation can be used by staff including coaches and that using the vans would cut down on costs of paying mileage. He also said that enrollment at Western Brown was up by 100 students over last year and that open enrollment ended at 223 last year and we’re at 207 right now and stated that he was pleased with the numbers. Jina Bohl, Western Brown Local Schools Director of Curriculum and Instruction, told the board that the community has been very active in donating book bags and school supplies for children in need in the district. “I don’t remember ever having this many things donated at the beginning of the school year,” Bohl said. “The kids really appreciate this stuff. It’s wonderful the way this community supports what we’re doing here, because we do have some needy kids.” She also reported that parents of Hamersville Elementary and Middle School students were notified by letters, of their options for supplementary education services and public school choice. The district will open a window of time within September when parents will be able to sign up for free tutoring services from Sylvan or any state provider a parent chooses. This year the district will be required to set aside 20 percent of Title 1 allocations ($137,472) for these two mandated programs. Bohl also went through the district’s state report card elements one by one and talked about ways to bring up math and science scores. The district as a whole is rated effective by the state. The high school and Mt. Orab Middle School are rated effective while Mt. Orab Elementary and Hamersville Elementary and Middle Schools are rated excellent. Bohl said she is looking into successful teaching processes and hopes to get all teachers together to learn from each other on specific subjects.

Allowing more efficient trucks could drive economy Serious challenges face our aging interstate highway system. If we are going to reduce congestion and improve safety without increasing taxes or spending, we need to make our existing infrastructure more efficient. I was pleased to join Congressman Michael Michaud in introducing H.R. 763, the Safe and Efficient Transportation Act. Known as SETA, it would allow trucks that are more productive to use interstate highways – and that could boost economic growth. Generally, only trucks carrying 80,000 pounds or less are legally permitted on interstate highways. Federal weight standards have not been updated since 1982, and they are hurting both our environment and economy. The current weight limit forces many trucks to leave loading docks only partially full. This leads to more trucks on highways, more congestion, more wear and tear on roads, and wasted

Jean Schmidt fuel. SETA would help alleviate these problems by allowing states to raise weight limits from 80,000 pounds to 97,000 pounds – but only for singletrailer trucks equipped with six axles, and only on designated routes. The sixth axle on these trucks compensates for the additional weight by maintaining braking and handling standards – without making the vehicle any bigger or longer. One of the biggest misconceptions is that SETA would be bad for roads. It’s time to set the record straight. Enacting SETA would make our highways safer. The biggest contributor to accident rates is the vehicle miles that trucks travel – not the weight they haul. Since

vehicle weight limits of at least 97,000 pounds – putting the United States at a severe productivity disadvantage and complicating cross-border exchange. Finally, more efficient truck transportation also has clear environmental benefits. Six-axle trucks carrying 97,000 pounds get 17 percent more ton-miles per gallon than trucks currently on our interstates. SETA would reduce our carbon footprint and allow businesses across the country to immediately minimize their environmental impact. Kraft Foods, for example, would save more than 6 million gallons of fuel nationwide and annually eliminate 73,000 tons of carbon emissions. Six-axle trucks can safely ship more freight. And they are already in use around the globe. SETA is a safe way to get the most from our highways and promote economic growth at a time when we need it most.

What Do You Think? Have you ever completed a crossword puzzle?

Drive/Ride Sober OR Get Pulled Over! What would you say if I told you that every day, almost 30 people in the U.S. die in motor vehicle crashes which involve an alcoholimpaired driver—and this is about one death every 48 minutes? Would you believe me if I told you that the cost of alcohol-related crashes PER YEAR amounts to more than $51 billion? These are sad but true facts from the Centers for Disease Control’s Injury Prevention Center. And the upcoming Labor Day holiday period is one of the peak periods of the year for alcohol-related crashes. That’s why the Brown County Safe Communities Coalition and local law enforcement officials are reminding everyone to Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over and to designate a sober driver before the endof-summer celebrations begin. This National Alcohol Crackdown period

SuSan BaSta begins on August 19th and ends on September 5th, and Brown County law enforcement officers will join others from throughout the nation to keep drunk drivers off of our roads. Locally, there will also be extra coverage and vigilance during the Ohio Tobacco Festival. How does alcohol affect your ability to drive safely? Alcohol impairs your judgment, concentration, comprehension, coordination, sharpness of vision, and reaction time. Even driving “buzzed” is simply not worth the risk to you or the thousands of innocent victims who are hurt or killed each year by drunk drivers.

the United Kingdom raised its weight limit to 97,000 pounds for six-axle trucks in 2001, it has experienced exactly what we need in the United States. More freight has been shipped, but vehicle miles traveled have leveled off and the rate of fatal truck-related accidents has declined by 35 percent. SETA would also help grow our economy by making the shipment of goods more efficient and leveling the playing field for U.S. companies. One business example speaks volumes about the bill’s potential to have a positive impact. Under full implementation of SETA, MillerCoors would need 2,000 fewer trucks each week to meet current demand – eliminating more than 1 million weekly vehicle miles traveled. Additionally, the U.S. vehicle weight limit is the lowest of all our major trading partners. Canada, Mexico, and most European countries all have higher

While we’re talking about not drinking and driving, let’s also talk about not drinking and riding. According to the CDC, motorcyclists are one of three groups of motorists who are at greatest risk for an alcohol-related crash (the other two high-risk groups being young drivers and those with prior driving while impaired convictions). In 2009, among motorcyclists killed in crashes, almost two out of every three had blood alcohol concentration (BAC) levels which were higher than the legal limit (that is, levels at 0.08% or higher). And the Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) reports that almost half (46%) of all motorcyclists killed in crashes were using alcohol The MSF cites studies which show that having ANY alcohol in one’s body increases the chance of crashing by FIVE times—to put that another way, the Ohio Department of Public Safety and the University of Akron report that drinking increases a motorcyclist’s chance of a single-vehicle motorcycle crash being a fatal crash by 440%! Consider this--at a BAC of just 0.01 to 0.04%, good judgment begins to decrease, the drinker is less critical of his/her own actions, and the motorcyclist’s reaction time slows down. At a time of increased concern about impaired driving such as the Labor Day holiday, I think it bears repeating as to how to protect yourself and your family on the road by watching out for impaired drivers. According to the Ohio Department of Public Safety, a driver might be drunk or impaired by alco-

hol if he/she: sits through a cycle of the traffic light without moving; makes wide turns; drives at night without headlights on; straddles the center or edge lines on the road or keeps drifting onto the berm or over the center line; signals one way and then turns the other way; stops in the road without a cause; or makes moves that are either very slow and inaccurate or very fast and reckless. And as I’ve mentioned before, we ALL need to be particularly careful on the road at night, because the rate of alcohol impairment among drivers involved in fatal crashes in 2009 was four times higher at night than during the day. If you suspect a drunk driver on the road, call the local law enforcement right away so that the police can get this driver off the road! The Ohio State Highway Patrol maintains a toll free number for reporting suspected drunk drivers: 1-800GRAB DUI (1-800-4722384). Don’t let an alcohol-related crash ruin your end-ofthe-summer fun. Remember: Drive (or Ride) Sober or Get Pulled Over! For more information, please visit www.StopImpairedDriving. org.

Detective Buddy Moore testifies at the Hensley trial as Judge thomas Murre (left) listens.

Moore did say that before starting the recording he did show Hensley a booking sheet for Clemens and that Hensley was “shocked and upset that she was in jail.” Then Little played the confession for the jury. On the audio CD, Hensley said Tincher picked him up the morning of April 20 and drove him down to Aberdeen and dropped him off on Stringtown Road, near Carpenters trailer. “I walked down and knocked on the guys door”, Hensley told Moore. “He called me in. I stood there. I talked to him for about twenty minutes and then the news came on. It had kids on the news like 13 or 14 year old girls, dude. They were talking about flip flops being the in thing. And he looks at the TV. I looked at him and said ‘Dude, those are kids’. He said ‘I don’t care’. He said

“That’s a hot little ***** right there’. A 13 year old girl. I just shot him. The only thing I thought was that was my daughter he was looking at.” Moore asked “How many times did you shoot him, Joe?” “Once”, Hensley replied. “What did you do afterwards?”, Moore asked? “I picked up my shell casing off the floor and left.”, Hensley replied. “You walked out and went where?”, Moore asked. “I walked to the road, Dallas picked me up and I went home.”, Hensley replied. Hensley said that Tincher had promised him $920.00 and a four wheeler worth approximately four thousand dollars in exchange for the murder. Hensley said he planned to use the four wheeler as a down payment for a trailer for himself and girlfriend Sarah Clemens.

Later in the interview, Moore asked Hensley what he did with the money Tincher gave him. “I spent it on drugs because I couldn’t sleep after I had done it.”, Hensley answered. Moore then asked “If you could talk to (Carpenter) what would you say?” Hensley replied “I’d want to know if he was really molesting that girl, to know that I didn’t take somebody's life for no reason at all.” He added “I regret it every day. I’m really not a killer, dude”, and appeared to become upset. Moore’s voice was then heard ending the interview. During cross examination, Wenke asked Moore if he pressured Hensley while the recorder was off. He asked “Did you bring up the death penalty for her?” Moore replied that he didn’t recall. “Did you bring up the possibility of life in prison for her?”, Wenke asked. “It’s possible”, Moore replied. Wenke then said that Moore stated previously that the purpose of the pre-interview was to make Hensley comfortable. “In fact, the purpose was to put pressure on him to make him confess, it that right?”, Wenke asked. “My intention was to make him feel comfortable”, Moore said. “If it made him feel differently, I have no control over that.” Wenke replied “In other

words, going in, you didn’t want to make him say those things, you just wanted to make him relax?” Moore replied “My goal was not to get him upset, my goal was to get Joe Hensley to confess to the murder that he did.” Clemens was initially indicted on Aggravated Murder charges along with Hensley and Tincher. All three originally faced the death penalty. Clemens later made a deal in July of 2010 to testify against Tincher and Hensley in exchange for pleading guilty to Obstruction of Justice. Four other witnesses were

heard on Wednesday, including Eric Dickerson, Eric Whitby who testified that Tincher originally approached him to “take care” of Carpenter and that he told Hensley. Testimony wrapped up with Brown County Sheriff’s Office Evidence Technician Wayne Bingaman testifying about procedures he followed at the crime scene while collecting evidence. The jury was also shown photographs and video tape shot at the crime scene. Testimony was continuing at press time, with the trial scheduled to continue through Wednesday, August 31.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 viewing Hensley on another case when Smith came into the room and said that Dallas Tincher was on hold for Moore. Moore then gave Hensley phone cards and told him to use them to find out information on the other case, while actually hoping that Hensley would use them to talk about the murder. Inmate telephone conversations at the Brown County Sheriffs Office are recorded. Little then played two calls between Hensley and Clemens for the jury. In one exchange, Hensley tells Clemens “Talk to the old man and see what’s going on. That’s got me worried.” In another conversation, Tincher apparently arrives at Clemen’s home while she’s on the phone with Hensley. Clemens said that Tincher denied calling the sheriff’s office. Hensley replied “Let’s keep it that way.” Tincher is then heard saying “That’s the way it’s going to stay, you don’t have to worry about me.” After the phone calls, the search warrants were executed. Moore then testified about the confession of Hensley and the 20 minute pre-interview that proceeded it. Moore told Van Harlingen that Hensley had signed a form waiving his Miranda rights and asserting that he had not been pressured or coerced into confessing.

James ‘Donald’ DeClaire, 84, Sardinia, died Wednesday, August 17, 2011. ‘Donald’ was born on Oct. 29, 1926 the second child born to the late Jesse and Ruvia (Stivers) DeClaire in Fincastle. In addition to his parents he was also preceded in death by his sister, Carol J. Eyre and his devoted wife of 53 years, Dorothy. He graduated from Eagle Township High School in 1944. On Nov. 26, 1949 he married Dorothy Marie Steinman and they set up housekeeping in Sardinia, where he lived until his death. During World War II Donald was stationed in Panama with the United States Army. he was a charter member of the Roy Wilson American Legion Post 694 in Mowrystown. Donald worked at Globe Wernicke on the night shift and in 1954 started selling insurance during the day. In 1956 insurance became his full time profession. later, in 1962, he added real estate sales to his business. He was the owner operator until he sold the insurance business to his two sons in 1989. He retired from the real estate business in 2002. In the winter of 2005 Donald was awarded the ‘Lifetime Achievement Award’ by the Brown County Chamber of Commerce.

FATHER OF LIARS All through the New Testament Jesus has said that God was His Father. His relationship with God the Father is different from our relationship with God the Father. Jesus is not only a son of God but He is God the Son. Most people in Jesus’ day refused to believe that He was God the Son. They believed that He was just another child of God. Isn’t it something how history keeps repeating itself? There are some today that still believe that every person in the world is a child of God. In fact, it is very widely taught. but that is not what the Bible teaches. Look with me at a discussion Jesus had with some of the Jewish people. It is found in John chapter 8. Let’s go to verse 42 when Jesus said: “If God were your Father, ye would love me: ...” Jesus said: “If God were your Father...” Pay attention to the word “If”. Jesus was saying that there was a good possibility that God was not their Father because they did not love Him. Truth to tell, they didn’t even like Him. And guess what; you can not have one without the other. I John 2:23 states: “Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father...” So if you want God to be your Father you have to take His Son. Here is something else to consider. Do you like freedom? It is Jesus the Son who can obtain that for you. He will set you free from your sin. Look at verse 36: “If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.” Just because you live in America, the land of the free, does not mean that everyone here is free. The prisons of America are full of people who are not free. But a jail house is not the only prison. There are many prisons without bars. If you are a heroin addict, no matter where you live, you are a slave to that drug. You are not free. No matter what addiction you have, you are a slave to that addiction. And if you are not free from sin, then you are still in bonds. You are a slave and prisoner to sin. However, Jesus died for the sin of all mankind. Only He can set you free. He died on the cross, shed His blood, and arose again on the third day for that express purpose. But, unless you believe in His death, burial, and resurrection and have faith in Him then you can not be saved from the sin

DR. CHARLES SMITH MT. ORAB BIBLE BAPTIST CHURCH www.bbcmtorab.com which would take you to hell. Not only must you believe in Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, but you must also act on that belief by receiving Him as your Saviour. You must pray, admit you are a sinner, and ask forgiveness of your sin. The Bible says that whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Can sin still control you once you are saved? Yes it can. You can still be a prisoner of the habit of sin because you are not utilizing the power of the Holy Spirit in your life. Now, I would think that everyone would want to be free. But you know what, if you are a prisoner of sin it just might be your own fault. The Bible tells us that if we will draw nigh unto God, He will draw nigh unto us. Yes, you can be free from going to hell and yes, you can be free from the controlling power of sin. And glory to God someday, if you are saved, you will be free from the presence of sin. That is truly free indeed and it is the Son who will set you free! Now on the other hand you might never be free because the truth is that not everyone is a child of God. Look at verse 44: “Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own; for he is a liar, and the father of it.” Well, it does not sound like everyone is a child of God. Jesus said that because they did not love Him and would not listen to His word that the devil was their father. They had rejected Jesus and by rejecting Jesus they were rejecting God as their Father. Are you rejecting Jesus? If so we don’t have to guess who your father is; do we? Jesus said: “Ye are of your father the devil...”

Hotshots have success with their fundraising events BY JW Curtis Huntington Hotshots 4H On July 4th the Huntington Hotshots held their annual Baby Show which was a huge success. Over 90 contestants entered the show and competed for the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place trophies. We also had the Little Mister and Miss Contest in which they competed for the Crown and the title of Little

Mister and Miss Aberdeen in which they will ride in the Brown County Fair Parade. The Huntington Hotshots 4-H Club will receive the proceeds from the Baby show to use for the different activities which the club does throughout the year. This year was the first time our club tried our hand at selling drinks at the Abrdeen's Picnic in the Park Fourth of July Festival. Everyone worked

hard and done a great job which is why it turned out to be a successful event. We would like to especially thank Renee Weatherspoon for donating the ice to keep our drinks cold. With out her help we couldn't have made it a successful event. Thanks to everyone who showed up to pull together and work. and a thanks to Aberdeen's Festival Committee for letting us sell the drinks.

That isn’t true, the reality is it’s for the final months of life. Other myths include choosing hospice means giving up all medical treatment, everyone dies in a hospital and hospice is expensive.

they will get the full amount. But again, we know what would happen if we try to change this, it would cost us even more money and that’s just what we don’t want to do.” Murphy said that making the decision to say yes on the threeyear contract was very hard for her to do, and she would only do it because it is the taxpayers money. Board member Jim Holden had similar feelings and also expressed them at the meeting. “I just want to say that I am very grateful to our staff, our district and everyone,” Holden said. “My dad went to school here, I and my siblings went to school here and now my kids go to school here. So I can speak from experience. I believe we have an outstanding, very dedicated staff. However, in light of the numerous recent rifs (Reductions In Force) that we’ve had, and with the instituting of programs like pay-to-participate in sports and certain activities, based on our 5-year forecast, I have concerns over our ability to meet all these expenses without future rifs. Therefore, my vote on this agreement will be no.” Board member Garry Luke said he felt that the concessions made by the teachers were not deep enough and he felt that they could have helped the board out more and as for the business side, he said his first interest was to look out for the children, which he felt was the most important thing. “My vote is yes,” Luke said shaking his head. Likewise, board member Kathleen Johnson told the board that she reiterated everything that Ms. Murphy had said and that she also agreed with Mr. Holden, but for the sake of good business for the district, she would have to vote yes.

Board president Betty Rolands made no comments and voted yes on the contract. In a phone interview with the teacher’s association president, Kim Wiederhold, she said that both parties, the teachers union and the board of education left the bargaining table feeling that everyone had given something up. “In this economic climate,” she said, “any negotiations can be difficult. And the fact that both the board and our association feel like we have both made compromises is a good thing. We will continue to collaborate with the board and effectively work together to make this school all it can be. Two years ago when so many of our staff were let go, it was heartbreaking, but we’ve continued to work short staffed. We have an excellent staff.” Murphy later added that she wanted to clear up rumors that she had heard that teachers at Fayetteville-Perry Schools were the lowest paid in the county. “Our teachers are not the lowest paid teachers in the county,” she said, “And people need to know that.” The teachers contract also stated that employees would be paying a small percentage of their health care. Beginning with the 2011-2012 school year employees will pay 4 percent, 2012-2013 they will bump up to 8 percent and for the 2013-2014 school year they will pay 12.5 percent. A tentative classified agreement was also approved with a vote of 4-1, with Holden again voting no on the contract. In other business at the meeting a third-party administrator, Sheakley Uniserve, was named to handle all unemployment claims and any workers comp claims, a mandated policy at a

fee of $450. Superintendent White presented his legislative report and stated that HB 194 which has been signed by Governor Kasich moves the presidential primary from March to May, and shortens the time frame for absentee voting to 21 days days prior to the election. Fayetteville resident Jesse Millikan has agreed to try to obtain two American Flags for the schools which have flown over the capital building. He also asked the board again about making their monthly meetings more visitor friendly. During the principal’s report, Greg Barlow, principal of the elementary school, stated that the open house at the school

was well attended and briefly discussed the grades of 3rd, 4th and 5th grade students. Principal of the high school and the middle school, David Tatman, discussed the open enrollment at Fayetteville Perry

Schools and said that 1 out of 5 kindergarten students were now from open enrollment and said most student who begin at Fayetteville Perry graduate from the school.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 have chosen to retire and have been left vacant to save even more money. When it came down to looking at both sided of this contract and whether to vote yea or nay on it, I looked at the business part and then I looked at the personal part. Personally, I don’t think we should go with this agreement, but business wise, which is what we do on the board of education, it’s going to cost us more money if we try and fight this contract.” An emotional Murphy stated that she just wanted to make sure that people in the district understand that with his offer, teachers are not agreeing to a complete freeze on the steps and that act is going to cost the district quite a bit of money. “This year it’s saving approximately $25,000,” she continued, “But since they are only taking half that step. If it were a complete freeze, and a teacher was on step 12, when the teachers come back in three years, they would still be at step 12. But the way it is now, the steps will continue, so when they come back in three years

The trend of flat numbers also applies to the Cincinnati Metropolitan Statistical Area and the state. The Cincinnati MSA includes Hamilton, Butler, Warren Clermont and Brown Counties. In June the jobless rate was 9.1 percent, rising to 9.2 percent in July. The July unemployment rate for the state of Ohio remained at 9.2 percent in July, unchanged from June. While double digit unemployment rates in Brown County may seem discouraging, numbers earlier this spring were actually flirting with three year lows.

The last time unemployment was in single digits in Brown County was in December of 2008 at 9.5 percent. The numbers spiked sharply the next month, rising to a high of 14.8 percent in February of 2010. They then fell to a three year low of 10.2 percent that October. Put another way, the jobless rate in July of 2009 was 12.1 percent, falling to 11.3 percent in July of 2010 and then to 10.6 percent last month. The lowest unemployment rates in Ohio are found in Geauga and Mercer counties, both at 6.5 percent. Number three is Delaware County at 6.6. The fourth and fifth lowest jobless rates in the state are in Holmes County at 6.9 percent and Lake County at 7.3 percent.

400K in road work done in Mount Orab CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 “The mayor is always great at taking care of the school and he’s come through again”, Burrows said. Lunsford said the West Main work is “the most visible” road construction in the village, but it’s not the only project. “We’re also going to do some work on Brooks-Mallot and Boyd roads as well as six to eight other streets”, he said. The money is coming from the State Capital Improvement Program, sometimes referred to as “Issue 1” or “Issue 2” money. The money is raised from bond sales and is used to help local governments with improvement projects. The bond issue was last renewed by Ohio voters in 2005. Lunsford said he is still working to get other work done on West Main Street to help keep traffic bottlenecks to a minimum. “We wanted to make some more turn lanes heading west (on West Main) but we got our funding cut for that”, Lunsford said. “Hopefully we’ll be able to

Orab and Williamsburg just off St. Rt. 32 The permanent old west town is educational and fun for the entire family. Store fronts include antique, westernthemed and hand-made crafts. Period interpreters walk the streets, posing for photos or saying howdy. Cold beer, sarsaparilla, soft drinks and food are served in the Long Branch Saloon. Young ‘uns can pan for gold; watch puppet shows; participate in a family sing-along to period music like ‘Coming Round the Mountain’; and even get sworn in as deputies, that is if they take the official oath. It

they choose, they’ll travel the frontier in covered wagons, on ponies or horses; riding the 19th century steam locomotive inspired Sante Fe Deadline, or visiting the pioneer village.

The Ohio fall hunting seasons starts on Sept. 1 with squirrel season. It will open on Sept. 1 and runs through Jan. 31, hunters will be able to take up to six squirrels a day. It will be closed during the Ohio gun season for deer, and also during the muzzleloader deer season. Hunting for squirrels have been a long time tradition for many Ohio hunters and still is. I would say that if you talked to any seasoned Ohio hunter you would find they cut their teeth on squirrel hunting, and have a lot of great memories and stories to share. Some of the stories will be of a morning hunt that took place in the fog before school or work, or of a cool evening hunt that lasted to the last glimmer of the sun for that day was gone. I can remember tagging along with my dad and uncle when they would go squirrel hunting. I would try and be as quite as possible but I somehow always found that stick to step on and break with a loud crack, that dad or my uncle stepped over without even looking

All of these stories and memories are valuable part of Ohio’s hunting history that need to be remembered and shared. Squirrel hunting is a great way to introduce young and new hunters to the hunting world. During squirrel season you can teach them about the woods, like the different types of hardwood trees that produce nuts that squirrels and other game forage on. This is also a good time to teach them how to scout for the upcoming deer season. Most of all show them how to enjoy the outdoors and to take in all the sights and sounds and just to relax.

Warriors get out of Fayetteville with conference win By Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press There is no doubt that the Fayetteville and Eastern boys soccer team are conference rivals. At least there was no doubt on Wednesday night. Using a solid all around game, the visiting Warriors came out on top 3-2 for a well earned victory at the

Rockets new field. “Great to get a win,” Eastern coach Dylan Fain said. “It was hard fought. I told the boys, up 2-0 at half, that we could lose 42 if we didn’t come back out there and play. And we didn’t play for 10 minutes and they proved they could beat us 4-2 real quick.” Despite finding themselves on the wrong side of

the scoreboard, Fayetteville coach Craig Smucker felt like his team played better for most of the night. “Nothing quite like outplaying a team, outshooting them three to one and losing the game,” he said. Eastern struck first early in the game. With 27:53 left in the half, the Warriors Landon Hauke made a nice move across his body and got it past the Fayetteville keeper for an early 1-0 lead. They were able to pad onto their lead with a little over two minutes left in the half. Eastern’s CJ Knight took a free kick just outside the 18 yard box of Fayetteville. His teammate, freshman Nathan Schmidt, got his head on the ball and got it into the back of the net for the Warriors second goal of the half. “Bloodied his nose on the play,” Fain said of Schmidt’s goal. “A freshman. I put him in there and told him to get me three minutes. He got me a goal instead.” While Eastern was taking advantage of its chances, the Rockets

weren’t able to in the half. “We played well in the first half, we just didn’t score,” Smucker said. That changed quickly after the break. Trevor Clark got the home team on the board with a nice run up the field from his defensive position to get a shot from just the corner of the 18 yard box to go. His goal got the Rockets within 2-1. Four minutes later, with 33:16 left in the game, the Rockets knotted the game at two. D.J. Iles crossed the ball to E.J. Aubry in the goal box and Aubry put the ball into the back of the net to tie the game. “We passed the ball well,” Smucker said. It seemed after the Rockets had tied the game up that it might well end up as a tie. But the Warriors had other ideas. With a little over 15 and a half minutes left, Eastern’s Chase Lawson made a play for the visitors. Lawson ran to a ball that was free in front of the net and hooked in a nice shot to give the Warriors a 3-2 lead and, eventually, the

win. With the win -- and their 2-1 win over Fairfield on Tuesday night -- the Warriors have improved to 2-0 (1-0 Southern Hills League) on the season. Fain was happy to get out of Fayetteville with a win. “I’m ecstatic about it,” he said. “It’s a win at

Fayetteville. Those don’t happen very often.” Though his team started the season with a loss to a conference foe, Smucker is still confident his team will end up where it should in the end. “We’re a good team,” he said. “People are going to have to deal with us. We’ll be there in the end.”

One mistake proves costly for Broncos in season opening loss By Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press Soccer is the only game where if you play bad for 30 seconds of an 80 minute game you can lose. One mistake taken advantage of by the opposition can give a win to the team that

was seemingly outplayed. And that’s exactly what happened to the Western Brown boy soccer team on Tuesday night in its 1-0 loss to the visiting Clinton Massie Falcons at Kibler Stadium. Despite taking more shot s on goal and finding itself with quite a few more chances than

the Falcons, the Broncos were unable to find the back of the net. “I’m real proud of our effort,” Broncos coach Kyle Fender said. “Everything but the finishing was there. But unfortunately that’s the only true stat we keep.” After the first 15 minutes or so of the game the Broncos were in control of the game, particularly in the second half. However, the Falcons were able to take advantage of their one early chance. A little over two minutes into the game the Falcons

took advantage of a mishandle by Broncos goalie Ben Lamb. Lamb dove to his right to stop a ball but he didn’t come up clean with the ball. As the ball sat there on the ground, just feet away from the goal, a Clinton Massie player was able to get his foot on the ball to nudge the ball into the net with 37:52 left in the first half. The score ended up holding up over the final nearly 78 minutes of the game because the Broncos weren’t able to take advantage of their chances after the Falcons did

theirs. “It comes down to chances,” Fender said. “They had three chances on goal and put one of them away. We had seven chances on goal, I think it was 12 total shots, and we didn’t put one in. They were on e for three, we were 0 for seven.” Coming out of halftime, the Broncos were on the offensive looking for the equalizer. Despite putting a strong effort into getting that tying goal, the Broncos just weren’t able to find the back of the net despite having some pretty good looks throughout the

second half. However, it just wasn’t the Broncos night. Sometimes in a soccer game you can dominate but come up short on the scoreboard or you get dominated and come out on top. Unfortunately for the Broncos, Tuesday night’s game turned out to the former. “I’ve been on both sides of it,” Fender said, “and it hurts being on this side of it.” The Broncos (0-1) will be back in action on Thursday evening at Southern Buckeye Conference foe New Richmond at 7:00 p.m.

The Fayetteville girls soccer team wanted to come out against Eastern and play well in every aspect of the game. It seemed as if they had manage to accomplish that feat in their 7-0 win over the visiting Lady Warriors on Wednesday night at their new field. “We talked about it yesterday at practice that the things we had to do as a team to be successful were time of possession, control of the game pace, controlling the clock management and winning the 50/50s,” Lady Rockets coach Jim Schmidt said. “We talked about every aspect of the game of soccer is what you have to win to be successful in this league.” Meanwhile, on the other sideline it didn’t feel like much went right for the Lady Warriors. While the Lady Rockets played a strong game, the Lady Warriors were trying to overcome some things that were putting them in a disadvantaged position. “We had a couple of injuries that were pretty crucial,” Lady Warriors coach Sarah Koehler said. “They’re a good team. You can’t take anything away from them. They’re talented and they have a lot of girls and they were just running numbers. They wore us out.” The Lady Rockets got on the board first with 32:00 minutes left in the first half when Tori Huber scored the first of her two goals on the night. Twelve minutes later

Abbey Rowe got into the action with her own goal minutes later and helped the Lady Rockets take a 4-0 lead, and control of the game, into the halftime break. Bree Plapp and Carrie Smith got into the action in the second half with goals of their own while Rowe added her second. All those added up to the final tally of seven goals for the home team who were pumped to play their first game on their new field and the first ever soccer games under the lights in

Fayetteville. And though the Lady Warriors weren’t able to match the Lady Rockets on the scoreboard, they put up a good fight. They had some good looks, and shots, on the Fayetteville goal but all were set back because of the excellent play of Lady Rockets keeper Cheyenne Ramey. Ramey sent back several of the Courtney Belmont’s shots with very nice saves. “My goalie, you can’t say enough good about her tonight,” Schmidt said. “To me she verified she deserves to be looked at, voted at as All League.” With the win the Lady Rockets moved to 1-1 on the young season. With a win over their Southern Hills League rival, the Lady Rockets are one step closer to their goal. “I’ve still got everyone else in the SHL,” Schmidt said. “This is step one out of seven steps.” Meanwhile, the Lady Warriors -- who are now 1-2 on the season -- will look to regroup, get healthy and get through their busy first week that by the end will include five games. “We’ve had some nagging injuries so far that have kind of put a damper on some of our girls,” Koehler said. “In our first week, this is our third game already and we just had a game last night, so they were already tired. We’re trying to take it one day at a time and show what we really are.”

Led by Wright, Lady Broncos take home SBC tourney title By Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press Led by senior No. 1 singles player Morgan Wright, the Western Brown girls tennis team used a strong all around performance to win the Southern Buckeye Conference tournament that took place in Blanchester last Saturday and last Monday. Wright won her second straight singles title at the event and her Lady Broncos teammates all played well to secure the victory. Lady Broncos coach Max Vavilov was pleased with his teams performance. He added that even when his team did lose, it was to some of the league’s better players. “When we lost it was due to good competition,” Vavilov said. “Considering the youth of some of the players, I thought they played really well.” Though every player but one won at least one match, the Lady Broncos were led by the play of Wright. Despite some struggles on Saturday, she willed her way to another SBC tournament title. “She struggled some on Saturday and we changed a couple things for Monday,” Vavilov said. “(She had) very nice offensive attacks and defensive play. She played very well. I was very proud of her.” After a first round bye, Wright started her Saturday off with a 6-0, 6-0 win over Batavia’s Amanda Harbettle and finished the day with a 64, 6-2 win over Blanchester’s Brianna Mudd. On Monday Wright had to get through Amelia’s top two players for the title. She easily beat Holly Bulen in the semifinal by a score of 6-0, 60.

In the finals, Wright got past Amelia's Hannah Fulks 6-2, 6-1 to wrap up the title. The Lady Broncos No. 2 and No. 3 singles players, Hannah Wiesenhahn and Anna Yockey respectively, both were knocked out of the tourney by Bethel Tate’s Clare Schaljo. Wiesenhahn got two wins before falling to Schaljo while Yockey was knocked out by her in the first round. Each of the Lady Broncos doubles teams got one win before losing. No. 1 doubles team of Taylor Hopkins and Jessica Young beat the Bethel Tate doubles team before losing to the Blanchester team while the No. 2 doubles team of Megan Puckett and Morgan Fischer beat the doubles team from Goshen before losing to the other doubles team from Bethel Tate.

Given the competition, the fact the Lady Broncos came out as the overall champion -with 24 points to second place Amelia’s 23 -- was a good sign to Vavilov. “I think it was a good showing,” he said. “The overall league with Bethel and Amelia, they have strong players. It’s nice to play when there is not a favorite and you have to fight for it.” After getting the league tourney win, the Lady Broncos improved their overall record to 3-0 with a win over Goshen on Tuesday afternoon by a score of 5-0. Wright won her match 6-1, 6-1, Wiesenhahn won hers 61, 3-6, 6-0 and Yockey won hers 6-0, 6-0. In the doubles, Hopkins and Young won 6-0, 6-0 and Fischer and Hannah Keller won their match 6-0, 6-0.

By Mike Goins Contributor In the 5th Annual Victor ‘Ike’ Moler event at Moler Raceway Park (MRP), it was the ‘Verona Vandal’ Jerry Rice taking the $5,000 and the eight foot tall Southern Trophy in his Brooks Electric, Valvoline Oil sponsored Warrior Race Car. The night started with qualification and it was the ‘Rattler’ Justin Ratliff taking the quick time honors with a 12.577 lap. In heat race action it was Chad Stapleton, Ratliff and Scott James taking the wins while Tim Prince claimed the B-main event. In the feature it was Stapleton and James leading the field to the green flag with Stapleton leading the first three laps before James would quickly take over the top spot. James was definitely the car to beat out front but around lap 25 the left rear of the car began showing signs of a problem as the car entered the corners. O n lap 30 the left rear wheel would break off the car while going through turn three, ending the night for the ‘Silver Shark’. On the restart it was Stapleton out front with Rice and Ratliff in pursuit. Five laps later it was more trouble for the leader as Stapleton would spin out off of turn four. On the restart it was Rice out front with Eddie Carrier Jr. and Jason Jameson in pur-

In the Mt Orab Ford Modified division, Randy Wash, Weasel Rhodes and Dave McWilliams would start the night as winners in the heat race action and set the lineup for the feature. In the feature event it was McWilliams jumping to the lead at the start but the drivers in the modified division had a tough time with the fast and tacky track as they kept spinning out which brought out the caution. With five cautions sprinkled in the first ten laps of the feature, it was turning into a marathon event. While McWilliams led, Randy Wash was in second until he would have trouble and go pitside at the halfway mark. The batt le was between

Devin Gilpin, Weasel Rhodes, Matt Hamilton and Doug Adkins all battling for the second position. At the end of the race it was McWilliams in victory lane in his Time Auto Sale machine while Hamilton would claim second spot with Adkins, Rhodes and Mike Marischen rounding out the top five. In the Holman Motors Chevettes, it was Derrick Davis claiming his first ever Chevette division win at MRP as he passed both Rusty Yarger and Miles Tarvin in the middle of the race to take the win in his Holman GMC sponsored machine.

The Western Brown girls soccer team struggled in their season opening 4-1 loss to visiting Clinton Massie on Tuesday night at Kibler Stadium. Though it was a loss, new Lady Broncos coach Dan Silvis said he wasn’t disappointed in the team. “I’m not really disappointed,” he said. “It wasn’t a league game. This is something we can build on and go from there.” While the final score may not indicate it, the Lady Broncos came out strong. For the first 20 or so minutes of the game they kept the ball almost entirely in the Lady Falcons half of the field. “Actually the 20-25 minutes of the game we dominated the game on their half,” Sivlis said. “I think when they scored the goal it kind of pumped them up and put it down us a little bit.” It was right near the end of that first 20 minutes wh en the Lady Falcons scored the goal Sivlis referred to. That goal, which hit the top of the crossbar and was out of the reach of Lady

Broncos junior keeper Alyssa Moore, started a barrage. By time it was over, a little more than 10 minutes later when the Clinton Massie goal was scored with 9:10 left in the first half, the visitors had claimed control over the game and had a 3-0 lead. However, the Lady Broncos s till kept fighting. Lady Broncos freshman Shelby Spaulding made a nice play to get the Broncos on the board with 5:26 left in the half. She dribbled towards the goal and put a nice shot on goal passed the Clinton Massie keeper who had come out after her. “She made a beautiful,

slotted pass into the net,” Silvis said. “You see a lot of players when they’ve got that 1 v. 1 with the keeper, all they do is wind up (and) kick the ball as hard as they can. She made a nice slotted pass into the net. That was a great shot.” The Lady Broncos weren’t able to take back any momentum and weren’t able to get anything to go in the net in the second half. They will look to get back on track on Thursday evening when they travel to New Richmond to take on their Southern Buckeye Conference foe. Kickoff is slated for 5:00 p.m.

Lady Broncos look to continue Lady Rockets aim for winning ways with new coach Southern Hills three-peat Fite running the show By Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press

By Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press The Western Brown volleyball team has quite the tradition of winning, particularly in the Southern Buckeye Conference. And despite being the new Lady Broncos coach, Carla Fite expects to continue that tradition. “I expect that we’ll be very successful again in the SBC as well as (in) our non-conference games, too, just because of their work ethic,” Fite said. “They’re determined to be successful.” Though she is new to the program as a coach, Fite is not new to Western Brown volleyball. She is a Western Brown grad and a former Lady Bronco volleyball player. Given that, Fite said the transition back to her alma mater has been smooth. It has been helped along by her players embracing her. “It’s actually been a pretty

easy transition for me,” she said. “Part of it was because I went to high school here and it already feels like home. They’ve been a very welcoming bunch of girls.” As far as how the Lady Broncos will fare on the court, Fite will look to her four seniors to guide the team. The four -- Taylor Patten, Ashleigh Huiet, Elizabeth Carter and Alli Morgan -- will use their experience to guide the younger Lady Broncos on the court. “Our four seniors are very knowledgeable and have a lot of experience,” Fite said. “They talk a lot on the court, keep the team energy up and they give the underclassman a lot of guidance.” Fite also mentioned that juniors Kylie Garrett (outside hitter) and Becca DeBord

(middle hitter) would play a big role in the Lady Broncos success this season. In order to keep up their strong tradition on the court, Fite said the Lady Broncos will have to find a way to continue to play at a high level throughout the year. “(They) pretty much just have to work hard consistently from point one to point 25,” she said. “They do that really good. They play really good as a team together.” The Lady Broncos are: Seniors: Taylor Patten, Ashleigh Huiet, Elizabeth Carter and Alli Morgan. Juniors: Abby Hall, Kylie Garrett, Becca DeBord, Hannah Nuhn and Dominique Hunter. Sophomores: Leah Leist and Shelby Cummins. Freshman: Mackaela Fischer. They open the season Saturday morning when they host Eastern and Batavia for a tri-match. The Lady Broncos will play Batavia at 9 a.m. and Eastern at 11 a.m.

Though the Fayetteville volleyball team had a strong 20-2 season last year, they lost three very talented seniors. Gone is three time Southern Hills League player Shelby Sheets and SHL All League player from a year ago Emily Stahl. Though both will be missed, Lady Rockets coach Sharon Sheets is confident in this years volleyball team. Buoyed by five seniors -including returning SHL All League player Lydia Tissandiar and Katie Fitzpatrick -- the rest of the Lady Rockets varsity roster will be composed of sophomores and freshman. And while her team will be young, Sheets has no doubt in their ability. Neither do the players. “They’re very, very confident in themselves,” Sheets said of her underclassman. “That shows on the court. They play well together, good teamwork.” With the departures of two

long term players in Shelby Sheets and Stahl, Sharon Sheets will look to Tissandiar and Fitzpatrick to help fill their roles. “(Tissandiar) was actually All League last year as a junior,” Sheets said. “I looking for her to fill that void, to fill that hitting position that Shelby had last year. I also am looking at another big senior hitter, she’ll be my middle hitter (and) that’s Katie Fitzpatrick. Katie is strong as the net, as Lydia is, but she brings different aspect to the net game. Lydia is a big time hitter. Katie is a good hitter but she also reads the opponents defense a lot and can get those blocks.” Sheets said her team will need to pass and hit well while also being quick and concentrating in order for them to reach their goal. That goal is to be SHL champions for the third

straight year. “Their goal is to repeat as league champions,” Sheets said. “We have been league champions for the last two years so they want a threepeat. Another thing that they have created as a goal is to do well in our tournament. We had the No. 1 seed in our tournament last year and we just fell apart. I want to make a tournament run.” The Lady Rockets are: Seniors: Katie Fitzpatrick, Toni Caldwell, Lydia Tissandiar, Kaitlyn James and Tiffany Mountain. Juniors: Morgan Hizar and Samantha Julian. Sophomores: Sydney Sheets, Tirzah Thompson, Gabby Valentine, Claire Carson, Heidi Holmes, Sydney Wolfer, Whitney Boothby, Tessa Cofrancesco, Aurora Boler and McKenna Hammons. Freshman: Emma Allen, Carly Burroughs, Emily Burroughs, Allyson Schaefer and Mariah Hazelbaker. They open the season Monday, August 29 against Blanchester.

Lady G-Men look to seniors Young Lady Blue Jays to lead them this season By Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press The Georgetown volleyball team may only have three seniors but they will mean a lot to the Lady G-Men this year. With all three playing different roles, they will have their hand in nearly every aspect of the team’s game. “The seniors need to show leadership,” Georgetown coach Donna Devries said. “They need to keep the team together, not only push their teammates physically, but keep the team together mentally.” Seniors Emily Pittman (outside hitter), Cecelia Schwartz (setter) and Whitney Kistler (defensive specialist) all have games that compliment one another and will help keep the team’s game balanced. Also returning from last years team that finished second in the Southern Buckeye Conference National Division and made it to the sectional semifinals are juniors Jesse Kidwell (middle hitter) and Kaylin Jordan (outside hitter).

“The two juniors need to continue working hard and improving their skills to become dominating hitters,” Devries added. Even with the five returning players, the Lady G-Men will be a relatively young team.

Sophomore Meranda Sullivan and freshman Morgan Gast will be apart of the varsity team and the several freshman are waiting in the wings on the junior varsity. With such a young team, the Lady G-Men aimed to improve themselves over the summer. And they did just that. In the middle of July the team went to a camp at the University of Kentucky where they were assigned a personal coach who helped them work on various parts of their game, particularly their defense and hitting skills.

Devries said that experience was a big plus for the team. “We advanced our game this summer,” she said. “We can do set plays now because we’ve got more skills.” With all the work put in through the summer and the experience the team has to lean back on, Devries hopes to see a consistent team show up each night. “My expectations for this year is to play our best every match,” she said, “that will lead us to contend for the league title.” The Lady G-Men are: Seniors: Emily Pittman, Cecelia Schwartz and Whitney Kistler. Juniors: Jesse Kidwell, Kaylin Jordan, Abbi West, Paige Luck and Brittany Neff. Sophomores: Meranda Sullivan, Allie Kistler and Hannah Lillich. Freshman: Morgan Gast, Kenedy Ecker, Megan Williams, Jessie Mootz, Carlee Ellis, Ally Down, Tori Crouse, Darien Doss and Morgan Fletcher. They open the season this Saturday at Mariemont.

look to work together By Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press It seems as if the Ripley volleyball team is starting from scratch. The Lady Blue Jays have a new coach and no seniors on their roster. Yet there will still be some continuity within the team. Aimee Carpenter is the new coach but knows her team very well as she was the junior varsity coach, and helped with the varsity, the past four years. She takes over for Susie Skinner after she took the Ripley High School principal job. And despite having no seniors, Carpenter will lean on her five juniors -- Kody Gilkerson, Morgan Wright, Kaleigh Eastwood, Olivia Kendrick and Brooke Horton -- two of whom were starters last year and two who saw limited action on the varsity level. Eastwood played on junior varsity last season. Gilkerson will return as setter, a position she held on last year’s senior laden team that performed as well as any Ripley volleyball team had in a couple of years.

Wright also returns as a starter from last year’s team. Her play, along with that of her classmates Kendrick and Horton, will be important to the Lady Blue Jays success.

“Morgan and Kaleigh and Brooke are going to have to step up,” Carpenter said. “Morgan is a good hitter and very strong server. Brooke and Olivia, all three are going to have to step it up this year playing more aggressive and having a role in the offense.” While the other juniors play will be key, as will the rest of a young squad that will include two freshmen -Morgan Bahnsen and Bethany Perkins -- Gilkerson will be at the center of it all. Along with sophomore Kelci Bowling, Gilkerson will find herself at the setter position once again. Carpenter looks at the position as the key to the team. “(Bowling) and Kody need

to step up and take charge,” she said. “They work well together. Just as far as taking charge, I just think that is the setters job, they tend to run the offense when they’re on the court.” With the departure of seven seniors from last year’s squad, Carpenter said the key for the team’s success will be to simply talk to one another on the court. “I honestly just think it’s the girls talking together, working as a team,” she said. “Even just calling out on a play so they know who’s going to get the ball, getting it to the setter. Just teamwork.” The Lady Blue Jays are: Juniors: Kody Gilkerson, Kaleigh Eastwood, Morgan Wright, Brooke Horton and Olivia Kendrick. Sophomores: Kelci Bowling, Alexis McCray, Kimi Fizer and Krystiana Hutchinson. Freshman: Morgan Bahnsen, Bethany Perkins, Sierra Berry, Mallory Smith, Julia Hyden, Myrtle Strange and Carly Setty. The open the season Tuesday, August 30 against Fairfield.

Despite youth Blue Jays off to nice start of the links Lady Warriors have the With only one senior on his roster, Ripley golf coach Mike Scanlan is using this season to look towards the future. His lineup of golfers will likely consist of two juniors, two sophomores and two freshman. In fact, the entire Ripley roster is, mainly, composed of underclassman. The Blue Jays have two juniors: Justin Cluxton and Dylan Arnett; two sophomores: Jared Cluxton and Bryce Hill; and several freshman: Ryan Poole, Christian Wallace, Jon Dunn, Jordan Carpenter and Daniel Campbell. The team also has one senior, Alexander Mussinan. “The idea is get the younger kids some experience, especially those freshman,” Scanlan said. “Those freshman won’t play in all the matches. In a way it’s kind of nice to not have a lot of seniors. The idea is to build to the future.” And so far on the young season, the Blue Jays have gotten contributions from everyone as they’ve jumped out to an early 3-1 record against only Southern Hills League opponents. After a season opening win against Eastern, the Blue Jays

dropped their only match of the year so far to Whiteoak at the Hillsboro Elks Golf Course on August 16 by a score of 200-213. Jared Cluxton shot a team low 49 while his brother Justin shot a 52. Poole added a 55, Hill a 57, Arnett a 59 and Mussinan a 68. The Blue Jays have bounced back from that loss with two straight wins. Last Thursday the Blue Jays beat Manchester at Hilltop Golf Course by a score of 197-217. The Blue Jays overcame a medalist performance from Manchester’s Malachi Evans, he shot a 39, to win. Justin Cluxton and Poole shot team low 47s while Arnett added a 51. Jared Cluxton and Hill added 52s while Jordan Carpenter shot a 57. Justin Cluxton has posted some of the lowest scores on the team so far on the young season, something Scanlan thought would happen for his No. 1 golfer. “He works real hard,” he said of Justin Cluxton. “He spends a lot of time working on his game.” But Scanlan also predicted big things for the rest of his young squad. “I have high expectations for (Justin) and his brother,” Scanlan continued. “Bryce is coming back as a sophomore,

but he’s just got to juggle his time with soccer. And then Ryan Poole, the freshman. I have a lot of expectations for him, too.” Hill showed why Scanlan expected so much of him as he led the Blue Jays to win over Lynchburg Monday afternoon at Buttermilk Falls Golf Course. Ripley won by a score of 199-219. Shooting the low round of the day, Hill took home medalists honors with a 46. Jordan Mitchell added a 48 while Justin Cluxton chipped in with a 51, Poole a 54 and Jared Cluxton a 56. With his team jumping out to a strong start, with all the matches coming against conference opponents, it looks as though the team should meet Scanlan’s expectations. The SHL only has one team that most of the coaches can get a read on, West Union, so the rest of the spots are up for grabs. Scanlan hoped that his team could improve upon last season’s eighth place finish. “I hope that we can be in the top five in the league,” he said. “I’d like to think we can be in the top five. I don’t think we’ll be down near the bottom. I hope we’re more competitive in our sectional as well. Now that we’re Division III I think our kids are going to more comfortable at that level.”

experience to be successful By Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press Despite coming off of a season that was a bit tough, Eastern volleyball coach Carmela Reeves is confident heading into her second go around. She is confident because of the veterans her Lady Warriors squad has to lean on. “I’m optimistic we’ll have a successful year,” she said. “I think we have quite a bit of experience and our bench is pretty deep. I think we’ll be able to handle anything that’s thrown our way, like injuries.” Last season, Reeves first as head coach of the Lady Warriors, was a bit difficult for a couple of reasons. Injuries to one of her seniors played a part but so did the team’s play as the season went on. “We started off strong then we had some readjusting to do and we really didn’t get back up on our feet until it was too late,” she said. Even though they scuffled some, the Lady Warriors were able to finish 4-9 in the Southern

Hills League and win a game in the sectional against Piketon. And a vast majority of last year ’s team returns this year with plenty of expe-

rience. The Lady Warriors return 10 players from a season ago, including six seniors. The seniors are Heather Bayer, Taylor Doss, Jordanna Downing, Hannah Fetters, Emily Meese and Andrea Tracy. Combined with the returning juniors and a few talented underclassman, Reeves thinks the play of her seniors will be a plus. “We’ll have strong leadership and that’ll be one of our advantages,” she said. “All of my seniors played last year (and) four were starters.” Reeves said the key for the team to be successful

will acquiring and maintaining the serve. And though she pointed out that her seniors experience will be a plus for the team, she said the team doesn’t have any particular players it will have to rely upon. “I really stress the team concept,” she said. “As we get started there may be someone that will really step up and it will be evident.” The Lady Warriors are: Seniors: Heather Bayer, Taylor Doss, Jordanna Downing, Hannah Fetters, Emily Meese and Andrea Tracy. Juniors: Jennifer Durbin, Maria Johnson, Kali Spires and Emily Turner. Sophomores: Carina Reeves, Vanessa Balas, Logan Hauke and Savannah Newman. Freshman: Shelby Cowdrey, Kansas Castle, Angela Cox, Jordan Dawson, Desiree Dietmeyer and Hannah Dotson. They open the season on Saturday, August 27 with a tri-match at Western Brown with Batavia. The Lady Warriors will play Batavia at 10:00 a.m. and Western Brown at 11:00 a.m.

Creature Feature Pet nutrition is very important One aspect of canine care and keeping that is the most misunderstood is that of proper nutrition. Years ago, dogs were fed exclusively from the table and many of them seemed to thrive. Those were actually the ones who were lucky enough to receive, by chance, the proper ratio of protein, fat, carbohydrates, fiber, and minerals. People remember those dogs that lived to a ripe old age and tend to forget the extremely high puppy death rate and that many dogs died young due to nutrition-related problems. With the coming of modern food processing techniques and research into nutrition, we have available many complete, prepackaged diets in a variety of forms. We no longer need to feed our pets in a haphazard manner from the table! Many people feel that dogs need some variety to their diet, but the fact is that dogs thrive on monotony in their diets. Variety in the diet is entirely unnecessary, and is in fact how a number of feeding-related behavior problems arise. Among these problems are begging (especially from the table,) extreme hyperness, and obesity, which is probably the most common nutritional problem seen in pet dogs and cats. The source of the problem is simple to discern – the dog is receiving too many calories for its energy needs. A dog of normal weight can often be expected to outlive its obese counterpart by as much as 40 percent. Feeding good quality dog food will enhance your pet's health and longevity. There are dozens of types and brands of dog food to choose from, and trying to choose the right one can be overwhelming. Here are some tips to help you choose the best food one for your dog: • Choose the food that is formulated for your pet’s life stage (puppy, senior, adult) and type (small breed, giant breed). From three weeks of age up to 20 weeks, your puppy's growth rate is astronomical, and his food intake must keep up. Giant breed puppies pose a special problem. For puppies of large or giant breeds, look for special foods of lower nutrient density. With these dogs, rapid growth can exacerbate degenerative hip problems or joint disease. Although hip dysplasia is a genetic problem, overfeeding at a young age can contribute to it. These breeds are prone to skeletal problems if not fed properly during their growing phase. Senior pet foods usually supply important ingredients such as glucosamine for joint health and contain fewer calories to compensate for less active pet and higher-quality proteins for easier digestion. Read the label. As with human food labels, pet food

DAN MEAKIN CREATURE FEATURE

labels are regulated by the federal government, the Food and Drug Administration and the Department of Agriculture. The list of ingredients must be in descending order. This means that the most prevalent part of the diet is listed first and then followed by each ingredient in order by weight. How the product is listed on the label is also strictly regulated. In order to call something "Beef for Dogs," at least 95 percent of the product must be the named meat. If the name has a combination of meats, such as "Chicken and Liver," the two products together must be 95 percent of the product with the first ingredient listed more prevalent. If the amount of the meat is over 25 percent but less than 95 percent, a qualifier must be added. The word dinner is a commonly added qualifier but platter, entrée, nuggets and formula are also common. Another rule regarding product name is the use of "with." In pet food such as "Dog Food with Chicken," since the word "chicken" follows "with," that food must have at least three percent of the food as chicken. This wording can fool some people. "Beef Dog Food" is very different than "Dog Food with Beef." The first has 95 percent

beef. The second only has three percent beef. To make matters even more confusing is everything on the side of a bag can only be compared on a “Dry matter basis”. What this means is if you take all the water away what is left is the dry matter basis of the food. Canned food (with 50% water) can appear a lot different unless comparisons are made on a dry matter basis. Feed the best quality food you can afford. The saying “You get what you pay for” is very true in pet food. Good ingredients cost money, no way around it. The feeding requirements are less for a quality food, so it’s not as expensive as it seems. Most dry dog food is soybean, corn or rice based. Non-meat products in dog food tend to pass right through the dog, creating more waste in the form of loose stools than when a quality dog food is fed. Less waste to clean up from the yard is always a good thing for dog owners! Higher quality dry dog food has meat, chicken or fishmeal listed as the main ingredients. Some dry dog food eliminates grains all together or is completely organic. Check with your veterinarian for their specific preference for your individual dog. All Creatures Animal Hospital sells a full line of great quality pet foods! Stop in today to check out our store!

BY Faye Mahaffey OSUE Brown County Master Gardener Volunteer â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t my tomatoes turning red?â&#x20AC;? asked a discouraged firsttime gardener last week. Did you know that temperature plays a very important part in the ripening process? Lycopene, the pigment that gives ripe tomatoes their red color, is only produced at ambient temperatures of between 50 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit. The optimum temperature for lycopene productions is 68 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 77 degrees Fahrenheit. Any great deviation from these temperature ranges will mean that tomatoes wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t turn red. Sometimes when it gets quite hot, tomatoes on the vine may have a yellowish orange look. If practical for the size of your operation, it might be better to pick your tomatoes in the pink stage and let them ripen indoors in cooler temperatures. Tomatoes need warmth, not light, to ripen, so thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no need to put them in direct sunlight. Place them out of direct sunlight where the temperature is 65 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why are the leaves on my tomato plants rolling up?â&#x20AC;? was a helpline question this week. Leaf roll on tomatoes is a temporary disorder resulting from excessively wet soil, especially after heavy rains. The good news is that leaf roll does not slow the plantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s growth, and a normal crop of fruit is produced. Within a few days, as the soil dries, the symptoms disappear and the plants return to normal. Some varieties are affected more often than others. Be sure to plant your tomatoes in well-drained soil, where this problem is least likely to occur. Water regularly so that the soil is neither excessively wet nor dry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I killed your squash plants!â&#x20AC;? was the message from our daughter who was tending to the garden while we were gone for a few days. She explained that she had watered the plants daily, but they continued to wither away. I quickly explained that she had been watering plants that had met their demise from the dreaded squash vine borers or possibly had been a victim of Bacterial Wilt. If you want to be a detective and solve the â&#x20AC;&#x153;murderâ&#x20AC;? case you need to examine the plants and think about the symptoms that you observed. Did the squash vines suddenly wilt? Were there holes in the stems that are filled with a green or tan sawdust-like material that spills out of the holes? Did you see any fat, white worms, up to 1 inch long, in the affected vines when the stems were slit open lengthwise? Then your squash was probably the victim of the Squash Vine Borer! I usually pull the vines and get them out of the garden! What if a few of the leaves wilt and dry? Wilted leaves often recover at night but then wilt again on sunny days and then finally die. The fruit shrivels. To test for bacteria, cut a wilted stem near the base of the plant and squeeze out the sap, looking for a milky white substance. Touch a knife to the sap and withdraw it slowly. Look for a white ooze that strings out in a fine thread as you withdraw the knife. Not many gardeners would like to take time to investigate a dying plant so carefully. Most of us just give the sick plant a quick yank and head to a different part of the garden. But it is important to know what is causing the problem, so that you can apply the correct treat-

ment! Bacterial wilt, a plant disease caused by a bacterium, is more prevalent on cucumbers and muskmelons than on pumpkins and squash. Watermelons are not affected. The bacteria are carried by striped or spotted cucumber beetles and are spread to plants when the beetles feed in early spring. No chemicals control bacterial wilt. Remove and discard all infected plants promptly. Control cucumber beetles with an insecticide. As always, read the label, and follow all directions carefully. Being gone from my garden for ten days took its toll. The weeds have grown quickly. I am always amazed at the new weeds that quickly replace the ones I have pulled. The butterfly bushes are full of blooms and butterflies. The milkweed leaves have been heavily chewed by caterpillars. My bluestem grass is starting to bloom and the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hens and Chicksâ&#x20AC;? have grown by leaps and bounds. Have you noticed ragweed in your landscape? This summer annual weed has flowers that are green and inconspicuous at the end of each stem. Because the plant is wind pollinated, the flowers produce copious amounts of pollen â&#x20AC;&#x201C; causing it to be one of the primary contributors to hay fever. Mature plants will reach 1 to 2 feet in height, but can easily grow to 4 feet or larger under favorable conditions. Leaves are twice compound, giving them a fern-like appearance. The upper surface of the leaves is also covered with very small hairs, making the overall appearance of the plant soft and fern-like. It has been a great year for growing weedsâ&#x20AC;Śdonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you agree? I have tried to make weeding an educational experience, by identifying the weed as I pull it. At this point, I think the variety of weeds outnumbers the varieties of perennials in my beds! Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget to submit your helpline questions to Mike Hannah at " mhannah2@msn.com. Helpline Tuesdays - from 9:00 a.m. to noon, a Master Gardener will be at the Brown County OSUE office to answer gardening questions. I am headed to the kitchen to cut up cucumbers and onions and make my Grammyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s famous cucumber salad. Enjoy the fruits of your labor! Where did sumer go? It is hard to believe that Autumn is just around the corner! I spent a few hours in the gardens at the Ohio Veterans Home in Georgetown weeding with Art Puckett last week. Art shared that the recent high temperatures had been tough on the vegetables, especially the zucchini plants. A second crop of green beans looks ready to bloom any day now, and Art and

his son picked enough beans to â&#x20AC;&#x153;put upâ&#x20AC;? 12 quarts for the winter. The turnips are coming along nicely and the strawberry plants provide a few sweet berries every few days. The jalapeno pepper plants are bending over with the weight of all those peppers. Randall Pattonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sunflower is pretty big, but he was hoping for something larger. Paul Mitchell has planted some mums for fall color in his raised beds. Paul is still harvesting tomatoes, peppers and a few onions. We took some tomatoes and a rather large cucumber into the kitchen. As Art and I spent some quality time pulling weeds, we talked about what needed to be done in the gardens before planting time next spring. How can it be that we are already talking about next year? I think that most gardeners always look forward to the new growing season with a sense of optimism, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you? Now is the time to chart what crops you planted, where they were located, what grew well, what didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work, what varieties were your favorites, and what changes you would like to make next year. As we find ourselves in the last week of August, it is time to check Septemberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s list of gardening tasks. Our list of tasks includes: â&#x20AC;˘ Continue watering your garden as needed during dry weather â&#x20AC;˘ Continue collecting seeds for next yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s garden â&#x20AC;˘ Continue checking regularly for signs of pests and diseases â&#x20AC;˘ Continue weeding your beds â&#x20AC;˘ Cover water gardens with netting to catch any falling leaves â&#x20AC;˘ Water newly planted trees and shrubs once a week â&#x20AC;˘ Cut back ragged-looking perennials â&#x20AC;˘ Divide perennials â&#x20AC;˘ Divide peonies â&#x20AC;˘ Plant tulips â&#x20AC;˘ Continue direct-seeding lettuce, endive and spinach â&#x20AC;˘ Harvest the last of your basil before frost â&#x20AC;˘ Dig up and pot rosemary to overwinter indoors â&#x20AC;˘ Clean up areas of the vegetable garden that have finished producing â&#x20AC;˘ Move indoors any houseplants that have summered outdoors. Be sure to check for signs of insects as you bring them in. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget about e-mailing your gardening questions to Brown County Master Gardener, Mike Hannah, at mhannah2@msn.com. Helpline Tuesdays â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m., a Master Gardener will be at the Brown County OSUE office to answer gardening questions. I counted jars in the canning closet and we are almost out of Chili Sauce -a serious matter in the Mahaffey household! Looks like I will picking tomatoes tomorrow and canning in the evening.

As many Ohio students head back to school this week, a field trip to the Supreme Court of Ohio will be more affordable for 100 financially pinched schools this school year. The Ohio Judicial Center Foundation has set aside $30,000 for 100 grants to help schools defray the transportation costs of visiting the Ohio Judicial Center, home of the Supreme Court. All Ohio schools that receive state funds may apply. Grants will be awarded to those schools with the highest percentage of students enrolled in the freeand reduced-cost lunch program. Schools will be eligible to receive one grant for students in fourth grade and above. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our hope that students who have never been to the Supreme Court will be able to tour the building, including our education center, and learn about the judiciary through this program,â&#x20AC;? said Chief Justice Maureen Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connor. The 100 grants will be awarded based on the oneway distance from the school to the Ohio Judicial Center. Schools less than 50 miles
