Opiate Task Force prepares for kick-off By Martha Jacob The Brown County Press During a brief but productive third meeting of the Brown County Opiate Task Force, August 3, with 18 people in attendance, a date of September 14 was set as kick-off date for the drug abuse prevention campaign in the county. Those attending included several law enforcement officers, Brown County Prosecutor, representative from the state auditor’s office, the health commissioner, representatives from Children Services, Job and Family Services and Family and Children First. Steve Dunkin, executive director of the Brown County Board of Alcohol, Drug Addiction and Mental Health Services, coordinated the meeting. Dunkin recently received grant money to be used towards the efforts of the task force. “This is our third meeting,” Dunkin began, “I just wanted

us to get together to try and get our task force against Opiate use organized in Brown County. We have grant money now to help us with our efforts. We are one of 10 counties to receive this grant. “One thing that is required by us, according to the grant, is that we have some sort of kickoff date of our plan of action. They need to know what we will be doing.” Dunkin told the group that the more members of the task force that could be inducted, the stronger the group would be. He said that the attorney generals office would also be heading up a state-wide initiative along with other states. “I plan on meeting with the Brown County Commissioners to have the month of September proclaimed ‘Drug Abuse Prevention Month,” Dunkin added. “I also plan on involving all the schools in the county and providing them with banners and other information. “We’ll be placing banners

strategically around the county. The Brown County Recovery Services as well as the Brown County Sheriff’s Department will have booths set up at the fair and they are going to let us place some of our materials at their booths.” The recent ‘National TakeBack Day’ was briefly discussed as being a huge success and it was reported that over 44 pounds of old prescription medications were dropped off at the Mt. Orab Kroger Pharmacy and Pimida Store in the Georgetown. Because of it’s success, another take-back day will be scheduled for some time in October. Brown County Prosecutor, Jessica Little told the group that during the first take-back event, local law enforcement officers should be notified a little sooner about the event, to prevent any confusion. Dunkin went on to say that what the Opiate Task Force was CONTINUED ON PAGE 10

2011 OVAM show Aug. 11-14 By Martha Jacob The Brown County Press For four days, Thursday, August 11 through Sunday, August 14, thousands of visitors will attend and enjoy the 2011 Ohio Valley Antique Machinery (OVAM) Show which will be held at the OVAM Showground, 8803 Winfield Road in Georgetown (Intersection of St. Rt. 125 and Winfield). This years show will feature J.I. Case steam engines, tractors, garden tractors and equipment plus Maytag gas engines. The Grand Marshals for this years show will be Ralph Spires and Delbert Parker. According to Jay Hanselman, secretary for the organization, a few changes in this year’s show should draw even more attendees to the show. “Sunday of this years event will be a little different than last year,” Hanselman began. “Instead of ending the weekend with an antique car show, we will be offering an antique fire equipment show. “Fire departments from

around the county will be showing off their antique fire tankers, trucks and engines and anything else that shows fire equipment from the past. We believe this is a real addition to our annual show.” Hanselman also said that the

Liberty Band will be playing on Saturday morning at 11 a.m. He also stated that a second band will be playing on Saturday afternoon. Entertainment for the event includes: CONTINUED ON PAGE 10

Three for One!

The Twelfth District Court of Appeals has affirmed the conviction of Jonathan Cain, 25, Lynchburg, for one count of gross sexual imposition. Cain was arrested after he stayed at his friend’s house, in Brown County, for a few days and had sexual contact with his friend’s four-year-old daughter. The child refused to testify so the trial court allowed the child’s parents to testify about what their daughter had told to them about Cain’s sexual contact with her. Cain’s first trial ended in a mistrial when a state’s witness inadvertently discussed the polygraph that Cain took and failed. A jury convicted Cain after a second trial. Brown County Prosecutor, Jessica D. Little, said she was satisfied that the jury had made a fair verdict.

“The little girl was too young to testify to what had happened to her,” Little explained. “So CONTINUED ON PAGE 10

After reading the article in the paper regarding the Gist Marker that was stolen from the Old Methodist Church Cemetery in Eagle Township on Five Points Fincastle Road, Mike Donohoo, Georgetown Branch Manager of First State Bank contacted Peggy Warner a descendent of the Samuel Gist freed slaves to start a fundraiser to replace the marker. The marker was placed at the cemetery on Five Points Fincastle Road in 2009, near a historic settlement that was once home to over 300 freed slaves. Samuel Gist, an English immigrant who lived in Hanover, Va., inherited his business partner's fortune which included a number of slaves at a farm he had never laid eyes on in Virginia. Upon Gist's death in 1815, he declared in his will that the 350 slaves were to be set free. He also provided funds for them to purchase their own land and establish their own schools. Gist's executors located three settlements in

Pets of the Week Animal Shelter looking for volunteers By Martha Jacob The Brown County Press Check out all the dogs now residing at the Brown County Animal Shelter by visiting its site on facebook or petfinders.com. “As soon as we get a dog into the shelter,” said Deputy Dog Warden James Massie, “we try to get its picture on facebook, just in case someone is looking for it. So people who have a missing dog should check there first then give us a call right away.” Massie said the shelter is always in need of bleach, dish detergent, windex, paper towels, dog food (soft and dry), dog leashes, collars and monetary donations.

“The shelter is always on the look-out for volunteers,” he added. “We need people to just spend a little time with these dogs. Take them for walks, talk to them, or just pet them. It helps us determine what kind of family situation a dog should be placed in.” The Brown County Animal Shelter is completely self-sufficient and is fund-

ed entirely by dog license sales, kennel tag sales, late penalties, citations, adoptions, owner give ups, redemptions, microchipping, euthanization fees and donations. The shelter is located at 100 Veterans Blvd. (next to the Ohio Veterans Home in Georgetown) and may be contacted at (937) 378-3457.

Election deadline approaching The deadline to file candidates petitions, questions and issues (which includes resolutions, referendums, initiatives and local options) is August 10, 2011 by 4:00 p.m. If there are questions, you may call the Brown County Board of Elections at 937-378-3008.

Unofficial numbers show Western Brown scores well on state report card, enrollment numbers down By Martha Jacob The Brown County Press Chris Burrows, superintendent of Western Brown Local School District met with members of the board of education, at 8 a.m. on the morning on July 21. He told the board that he wanted to collectively focus on what is important to the district. “Unofficially, it appears that we gained four indicators this year on the state report card,” Burrows said. “This takes us from 17 of 26 possible points to 21 of 26. Also, our preliminary performance index climbed from 94.3 to 96.4. “All of our building data, with the exception of one, is showing that we met AYP (adequate yearly progress). There is still a chance through ‘value added’ that our other building may meet the AYP as well.” Burrows added that he was hopeful that the other school does meet the AYP because it would free up $137,500 that has been set aside for school improvement. He told the board that enrollment numbers were down by approximately 50 students this year, and that letters have been sent to each of the students, inviting them

back, as well as making a personal phone call to each of the students. “Everyone, here at the office assures me that this is typical to have several students waiting until the last minute to enroll,” he added. “I hope this is the case.” Burrows said at least 50 flyers and letters inviting students back were also sent to students completing virtual schooling (online classes) somewhere else. Each student who returns equals $5,732 brought back to Western Brown Local Schools. Burrows reported to the board that the district will be combining Hamersville and Mt. Orab Middle School football teams for the upcoming school year. Shuttle bus service will be provided to athletes. Burrows also recommended to the board that high school students arrive to school around 7:35 a.m., while middle school students have a tardy bell at 7:45 to be in the breakfast rooms, which means middle school students should arrive at the building by 7:40 a.m. (Editor’s Note: The above paragraph were comments made at a meeting, please see official class start times in a story by Superintendent

Christopher Burrows in this Brown County Press). He told the board that he had met with Energy Education concerning conserving energy at the school and learned that the district could save as much as $2.2 million over a 10-year period, making a few changes. In other business at the meeting the following actions were taken by the board: • employ Angela Jenkins as MOES kindergarten teacher (recall position); • employ Rhonda Malblanc as WBHS summer OGT tutoring; • employ substitute bus drivers/bus aides, Christine Farley, Scherry Pitman and John Layman; • employ several substitute aides/substitute food services; • employ Mary Hartman as HEMS athletic director, Blaine Wallace as MOMS athletic director and Jeffrey Herrmann as WBHS assistant athletic director; • hire Jamie Hurley as MOMS grade eight math (recall position); • hire Jason Ashworth as WBHS health/MOES physical education teacher • hire Andrew Brunsman as volunteer assistant varsity football coach, Shelley

O’Hara and Ashley Silvis as WBHS assistant girls soccer coaches; • employ Joe Spurlock as WBHS chemistry teacher (1/2 day); • employ Hayley Bogan as WBHS volunteer assistant girls soccer coach. The board also approved the following items: • overnight participation by Chad Sexton in the OHSAA state track meet in Columbus; • St. Louis (Owensville) transportation agreement; • school bus routes; • school bus drivers handbook; • Ohio School Boards Association Delegate and Alternate; • addendums to administrators contracts for medical premiums; • bus bid purchase; • non-union employees medical premiums equal certified employees; • athletic admission prices; • transportation lease with Southern Hills Career and Technical Center; • athletic handbooks; • appropriation and revenue modification; • Certificate of Estimate Resources and Certificate of Total Amount from all Sources dated 7/7/2011.

Western Brown makes changes in dress code and bell schedules for upcoming school year

CMYK

By Christopher Burrows WB Superintendent For the 2011-2012 school year, students at Western Brown Local Schools, will get to sleep in just a little bit longer than in the past. Once they do arrive they will notice that there is a point of emphasis on creating a safe and nurturing environment free from distractions. At Western Brown we want to create an environment where all students want to come and learn, all teachers want to come work and where all parents want to send their children. In order to accomplish this we must have student learning as our ultimate focus. For the most part the start times for our schools have been bumped back 25-30 minutes. Teachers will arrive to school at the same time as normal. They all made the personal commitment to arrive at that time for the benefit of our students. Teachers will be meeting as grade levels, subject areas and sometimes as whole groups to analyze student achievement and to make immediate changes in instruction to better serve the needs of our diverse learners. If you get an opportunity please thank a Western Brown teacher because they have made huge sacrifices in order to better serve the Western Brown Local School District. Below you will see these times for individual buildings. You will notice that WBHS and MOMS start times are the same. The students of MOMS will be eating breakfast in their classrooms from 7:45-7:55 a.m. while WBHS students will begin their first academic period at that time. If a WBHS student wishes to eat breakfast they will need to be at school by 7:35 a.m. At MOMS, attendance will be

taken during breakfast time, so students arriving to classrooms after 7:45 a.m. will be counted as tardy.

Please notice that our dress code has changed as well. We encourage everyone to read through our new policy before you do your back to school shopping. If you should have any questions please call or email us. We are very excited to get started with another school year. Over the summer we have made adjustments to policies, procedures, educational goals and staff. All of which will help us continue our climb towards excellence. Please visit our website at http://www.wb.k12.oh.us for more information about our district and buildings. I want to thank all of our stakeholders, in advance, for

the support, encouragement and dedication that you give Western Brown Local Schools day in and day out. Together we can make Western Brown a great place to learn and work! New hours are: MOES/HEMS 8:50 a.m. 3:30 p.m.; MOMS 7:45 a.m. - 2:40 p.m. WBHS 7:45 a.m. - 2:30 p.m.

Schmidt: debt-ceiling deal an imperfect fix, but necessary

E v E n

Sen. Brown says ‘Remember Ohio’s Veterans’ A veteran in Cincinnati recently wrote to me that, “it is good to know we are not forgotten.” There are more than 930,000 veterans in Ohio who have made tremendous sacrifices for our country. Members of the Armed Forces leave their families, endure great stress, and put their lives on the line for us. And, they do not ask for much in return – just the benefits they have earned and deserve. Yet, too many young veterans are leaving the service without job prospects. With the

Sherrod Brown unemployment rate for young veterans at a staggering 27 percent, we have a responsibility to connect skilled veterans with good-paying jobs. That is why legislation I recently introduced, the Hiring Heroes Act of 2011, is supported by the Veterans of Foreign Wars, the American Legion,

Disabled American Veterans, Military Officers Association of America, and the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America. This first-of-its-kind jobs bill aims to reduce unemployment among veterans returning to civilian life by ensuring that every service member attends a transition assistance program, to help them find employment. Our veterans just want a fair shot at getting a good job, a quality education, and an opportunity to live out the American dream.

Veterans’ service to our country doesn’t stop when they leave the military and our government’s commitment to them shouldn’t end when they return home as valuable members of our society. We can honor their service by providing job skills training to help connect America’s veterans with stable, good-paying jobs. At Youngstown State University, I recently met with a student-veteran – Sergeant Paul Hageman – who discussed with me the need to improve and strengthen career CONTINUED ON PAGE 5

ments on the debt and paying for other priorities – such as Social Security and Medicare benefits plus the salaries of members of our armed services. But, we wouldn’t have had enough money left to pay for the FBI, the Transportation Security Administration that safeguards our airports and other modes of transit, or myriad other federal programs upon which people rely every day. Failure to increase the debt ceiling also could have worsened our weak economy. Many said that a failure to approve an increase would have caused our credit rating to be downgraded and prompted precipitous drops in the financial markets. The president even argued it could have led to a depression. In response to the call to increase the debt ceiling, the House of Representatives passed three separate bills. Although each was similar, the first two were rejected by President Obama and the Senate. But on July 31, a Sunday night, Democrat and Republican leaders agreed on a package of changes. A final version was approved the next day by the House and on Aug. 2 by the Senate. For the first time, an increase in the debt limit has been tied to a decrease in government spending. Under the bill signed into law by the president, federal spending will be cut immediCONTINUED ON PAGE 5

Letters to the Editor

Ripley Presbyterian Church Trustees clarify church building, services Dear Editor, There have been many articles in the local papers concerning the Ripley Presbyterian Church. The purpose of this letter is to clarify what has happened to the church and what is being done to repair it. The church has not been condemned; the organ has not been moved to another location; we have not moved out

of the church because of the bats. We are addressing the bat problem. The first indication of problems was when a piece of the trim fell from the ceiling, upon further inspection it was noticed that a lot of the other trim was broken in several places and some of the trusses appeared to have moved. The trustees then contacted a structural engineer to come

and inspect the church to identify the problem. The structural engineer found that some of the trusses had moved and the outside walls had bowed outward. The engineer recommended that the church be shored up to keep the trusses from moving any further. The church has been shored up on the ground floor as well as in the sanctuary and a fur-

ther evaluation is being done by the structural engineer to determine what actions need to be taken. The church services are currently being held in the Masonic Lodge. Any questions concerning the church call any of the following Trustees. Cecil Black Barney Daulton Tom Martin

Write says people attempt to justify their actions Dear Editor, Often it becomes rather perplexing when people attempt to justify their actions for committing the unthinkable. I’ve heard it all: from rape and murder to the physical and sexual abuse of a child. How anybody can excuse themselves for some things is pure lunacy, and yet probably everyone has the capacity to do so -- especially when their back is against the wall. We see this in our court system and correctional system continually. Somebody murders his/her

significant other and pleads temporary insanity -- “I was not myself when I knifed her sixty times in the heart, I wasn’t in my right mind!” (Okay, so which time during the stabbing incident did you snap out of it and realize, “Oops...I think I overdid it a bit?!”). It’s easy to become cynical when you’re a counselor (or a minister) and you’re dealing with any one of a number of cases in which the subject begins to throw off his/her actions due to circumstances outside himself/herself, refus-

ing to own what took place at his/her hands. I remember one case of child sexual abuse where someone told me that the little three year old girl he molested “wanted it to happen” and “enticed him” to act it out! (He had no control over his actions because a child was asking for it to happen?! He didn’t possess the clarity of mind to ask himself, “Wait a minute, what’s wrong with this picture?!”) Yeah, I’ve heard it all. However, this brings me to my point: humankind is not inherently sweet and nice and loving and empathetic and wholesome acting. Humankind was conceived in sin -- thank God some have a better grasp on it but it’s there all the same. That shadow side of us is there somewhere, waiting to be loosed, lurking way down, deep inside. And the crap that this part of us thinks up is depraved and totally hideous. How else can you explain the way we treat one another? How else can you explain the human atrocities of any one of a huge number of nations around the world? How else can you explain genocide, war crimes, rape, murder, child and spousal abuse, sexual slavery or anything else dark and tainted? If not but for the grace of God, anyone of us could be either the victim or even the victimizer in anyone of these situations-- depending on the

circumstances involved. All of us are capable of a plunge into the depths of darkness. All of us are capable of sin and all of us are in need of redemption -- and redemption can only be accomplished through a relationship with Jesus Christ. (Sorry humanists, your way isn’t good enough.) No, humankind cannot redeem itself -- we’re too tainted! We are very much in need of something, or someone, outside of ourselves to put us back on the right track. May we come to this realization soon. Rev. Sam Talley

What Do You Think? Do you think cat owners should have to buy license tags for their cats?

No, I don't think cats should be licensed, people usually have a lot more cats than they do dogs. Becky Campbell, Mt. Orab

People drop cats off at my house all the time, and I take care of them. I don't think cats should be licensed. Gretchen Centers, Mt. Orab

No, cats don't need to be licensed they're not as hard to take care of as dogs are. Donna Orme, Mt. Orab

Cats usually stay indoors, and can be productive and catch mice. I don't think they should be licensed. Bill Chain, Bethel

Yes, I do think cat owners should have to license their cats, it's only fair, if dog owners have to. Linda Hayden, Georgetown

Yes, I have dogs, and they have to be licensed, and the cat population is out of control. Mary Anne Page, Sardinia

The recent debate about increasing our nation’s debt ceiling certainly wasn’t pretty. While I’m sure everyone involved had America’s best interests at heart, coming to agreement on how to stop this ridiculous spending of tax dollars tested the patience of not only members of Congress but also the public. What we settled on isn’t a quick or perfect fix, but it’s a necessary one. The good news is it won’t raise taxes. Unfortunately, given the state of our federal budget and our debt of more than $14 trillion, there was no easy way to address the need to increase the debt ceiling. What it boiled down to was this: We had to borrow money to pay the bills for things the federal government had already bought. In the past, increasing our nation’s debt limit has been a rather simple exercise. It has been so easy, in fact, that Congress has increased it seven times since March 2006 – when our federal debt totaled about $8.3 trillion. In the five years since, our debt has increased by some $6 trillion – and our annual deficits are routinely in excess of $1 trillion. Figuring out how to cope with that proved difficult and divisive. President Obama and Secretary Tim Treasury Geithner had each claimed that if the debt ceiling was not raised by Aug. 2, the United States would default on its obligations. That wasn’t quite correct. Even if the debt ceiling hadn’t been raised, the government takes in enough revenues for about twothirds of scheduled federal payments. We could have limped along, making interest pay-

Sardinia resident, Gladys Kelch, turns 99, and has no plans on slowing down, enjoys birthday party What keeps 99 year old Gladys Kelch young and vibrant? If you ask her she’d tell you the love of her family, first and foremost, then she would add, ‘working hard all my life, eating plenty of lard growing up and drinking fresh milk straight from the cow!’ Gladys, affectionately called “Mammy,” recently celebrated her birthday, surrounded by her family. She received over 95 cards from friends and well-wishers. She is a fixture in the village of Sardinia and has lived there all but seven years of her life. She lived on a farm on Hamer Road as a child. “I stopped driving about three years ago,” Gladys said, shaking her head. “I always drove myself to church and to the beauty shop and the grocery store.” Gladys smiles a lot and says she is just about as happy as anyone could be, with very few regrets in her life. She was married for over 65 years to her husband, Lloyd Kelch who sadly passed away in February of 2001. When asked how things in Sardinia have changed in the past 90 years, she said, “Well, I’d have to say that the people have changed. You used to know your neighbors, all of them. But today, people seem to move in and out a lot and there’s no time to get to know anyone.

twins and great-great-grandchildren of Gladys Kelch, Nathan and Hanna Hopkins, share a kiss with their ‘Mammy’, at her 99th birthday party celebrated June 16, 2011 at her residence in Sardinia.

“I think that’s sad.” Gladys said she remembers her dad once had a Model A and she said she got her first car after she was married. It was a 1936 Buick Roadster. She and husband Lloyd had two daughters, Marlyn and Mary who also reside in Sardinia. She brags on her four grandchildren and eight great grandchildren. But her pride and joy are her two twin great-great-grandchildren, Ethan and Hanna. Gladys says she looks forward to attending one of her

great grandchildren’s graduation in 2012. “They may have to carry me in,” she said with a chuckle, “but I’ll be there if I can. I’ve also been told by other great grandchildren that I must attend their graduations too, in 2014 and 2015. “I think I’m up to it, and I look forward to it.” Gladys said she feels like she has had a good, happy life, and the only thing she would have done differently was pay more attention to her husband’s health, when it

Tailer says ‘One sweet sting’ There is a time to do everything, if only time would allow, but it seemed that I was running short on time, and so I rushed to get my job done. The first honey of the year should really come off of the hives at the end of June. By then the bees have gathered the sweet spring nectar and fanned it with their wings to draw off the moisture and turned it into light spring honey. But June came and went as did all of July. Planting was late due to the spring rains, and then I was weeding and barely keeping ahead of all the unwanted greenery that sprouted up between my garden rows. And then it got so hot! I could not imagine putting on my bee suit, veil, and long gloves, when the weather was ninety plus degrees. Each day I figured that I'd wait until evening. It was bound to cool off a bit, but when it did not cool, I figured that I'd wait one more day, and then suddenly it was the last day of July. No more time to wait. I had to get the honey off of the hives. Now you might wonder why I was in a rush to get off the honey and why I did not want to wait until the fall. It all has to do with the dry days of summer's end. As we all

StraiGHt creeK Valley FarM

cHriStiNe tailer know, August is typically a hot, dry month. The wild flowers are no longer in such abundance, and the bees are no fools. Rather that fly out into the hot, arid air in search of what little nectar there is, they choose to stay inside their cool dark hives, fanning themselves and dining on their honey stores. I, however, did not want them to eat up everything they had gathered during the past several months. I wanted to rob them of their hard work so that my friends and family could enjoy the sweet fruits of their labor. I knew that I should have put bee excluders on the hives, between the deeps, where the bees live, and the supers, where they store their extra honey. The excluders are like small one way gates allowing the bees to squeeze through to exit the supers, but pinching shut so that they cannot return. But the bee excluders need to be on the hives for three days for all the

A special committee tasked with finding an additional $1.2 trillion in cuts was established. And, the bill requires that both the House and Senate vote on a balanced-budget amendment to the Constitution. I wish the agreement required cutting more spend-

But, in the final analysis, the Budget Control Act was a step in the right direction. And it likely prevented serious economic harm to businesses and families.

bees to exit, and I was in a rush. The weather had turned hot and dry and I wanted to get the honey off, today! It seemed blissfully cool this morning, only in the seventies, but the second the sun came up over the hill and burned through the creek valley fog, I felt as though my bee suit was an inferno. My white cotton shirt clung to my back like a wet second skin. Even my leather gloves were soaked through in no time, but my plan was a simple one. I could not remove the entire nine framed super, as it was packed not only with honey, but hundreds, if not thousands, of bees. So I carefully lifted each frame out of the super and brushed off the bees. I then handed the beeless frame of honey to my trusty assistant, Greg, who placed it in a covered bee box in the wagon we had hitched to the back of the small Ford tractor. As soon as he placed each frame in the box, he quickly covered it up. It does not take long for bees to find their stolen honey. I thought that all was going amazingly well. I was moving slowly. Greg was moving slowly, and the bees seemed quite calm. I moved deeper into the first hive, down to the second super, and the bees suddenly became distressed. They flew out and pinged madly against my veil. They dove into my wet shirt and against my jeans. In less time that it took to say "ouch" I had been stung seven times. Stay calm, I told myself. I slowly walked away from the frantic hive. Greg stood back and watched as I walked down the hill to the barn, a cloud of bees surrounding me. There was nothing that he could do. As I walked, the pinging lessened, and the last bee finally left as I got to the bottom of the hill. I walked back up to the hives, patient husband waiting. I was wetter than I thought possible. Nine more hives to go, but as I began to finish up the disturbed hive, I realized that they had calmed down. I do not know why. Perhaps the day had just gotten too hot for them to expend so much angry energy, but those first seven stings were also my last. I was not stung again, even as I dug deep and robbed the honey from our nine remaining hives. So lesson learned. There is a time for everything, and even if running late, do not rush. Take the time to do it right. Next year I promise. I will put on those bee excluders. But for now I'll just dab a bit more of that anti itch medicine on my seven stings.

George Hale sentenced to ten years in prison In March, a grand jury indicted George Hale, 52, on one count of Gross Sexual Imposition. In June, a Bill of Information was filed against Hale on an additional charge of Gross Sexual Imposition involving a second victim. The charges state that both victims were under the age of thirteen and Hale had a previous conviction of Rape in 1999. Judge Gusweiler accepted Hale’s plea of guilty to Gross Sexual Imposition in both cases on June 28. On July 28, Judge Gusweiler sentenced Hale to five years in prison on each case. The sentences will run consecutively. Judge Gusweiler also classified Hale as Tier II sexual offender. Upon his release from prison, Hale will be required to register with the local sheriff’s office for a period of twentyfive years. Hale will also be subject to five years of postrelease control by the Adult Parole authority upon his release from prison.

By Martha Jacob The Brown County Press The downtown area of Mt. Orab continues to grow with the recent opening of Noah’s Ark Pet Supplies located at 104 North High Street. Owned and operated by Mt. Orab residents Sarah and Andrew Tabor, the business officially opened its doors to the public July 1. “Growing up I had every kind of animal there is,” Sarah Tabor said with a chuckle. “I had rabbits, reptiles of all kinds, sugar-gliders, rats, hamsters, even a pot-bellied pig. “But the thing I remember the most is having to travel so far to buy supplies for all my pets. That’s the number one reason I opened my own pet supply store. “I grew up here and graduated from Western Brown, and I know a lot of people in this area who also own pets and now they won’t have to travel so far to get what they need for their pets.” Noah’s Ark Pet Supplies has just about anything a pet owner could need including special premium foods for dogs and cats, such as Blue Buffalo and Wellness Foods. “I plan on carrying all kinds of small animals including rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets, hamsters, mice and gerbils,” she added. “I also carry a nice variety of birds. “I have a good variety of fish with more arriving weekly. I have reptiles including snakes and a bearded-dragon. And if a customer comes in with a request, I’ll do everything I can to accommodate them.”

The Brown County Press/MARtHA B. JAcoB

Sarah and Andrew tabor own and operate a new business in Mt. orab called Noah’s Ark Pet Supplies and offers a full line of items for dogs, cats, birds, fish, reptiles and any other pet a family might own.

The Tabor’s said so far, they’ve had only one complaint with their facility, they don’t carry dogs or cats. “I don’t have anything against dog breeders,” Sarah added, “I just feel like there are so many wonderful dogs in shelters, right now, that need homes, I just don’t want to compete against the shelters.” Sarah said future plans include adding dog grooming to her services and she would also like to board dogs at her home in Mt. Orab. “It’s hard to find a good safe place to board a pet,” she

said. “And no one wants to leave their dog to begin with, so at least they should be able to feel like their pet is being sheltered in a caring atmosphere.” Sarah worked at an area animal hospital in rehabilitation and has cared for injured animals such as raccoons and squirrels. She said she feels a genuine connection with all animals. Currently Noah’s Ark Pet supplies is located in the front of her building but has the capacity to add two more rooms. “Eventually I would like to

move my store to my own free-standing facility with the capacity to offer day-care services for my customers,” she added. Sarah and Andrew are the parents of 3-year-old Addyson. They would like to invite everyone to stop by and check out their shop which is open Monday through Saturday 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. with Wednesday hours 2 to 7 p.m. The store is closed on Sunday.

State Representatives Joe Uecker (R-Loveland) and Kristina Roegner (RHudson) attended Governor Kasich’s signing of House Bill 78 on July 20, which will protect the lives of unborn babies after the viability of the child is confirmed. “So many bills are measured in economic impact, measured in dollars. House Bill 78 will be measured in lives,” said Roegner, who was joined at the bill signing by her three daughters: Katherine, age ten; Kaitlyn, age eight; and Kristine, age five. “This law saves the lives of hundreds of babies each year—babies that will contribute to society and could become future doctors, teachers, nurses, or engineers. They could become mothers and fathers themselves someday. It was truly a blessing to be a part of this historic day.” “Ohio took an important step in protecting our most vulnerable citizens, our unborn,” Uecker said. “With this legislation that received bipartisan support being signed into law, it will save hundreds of babies each year.

WHAT IS YOUR LIFE? John 14:1-6: “Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would not have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” Ladies and gentlemen, I want to talk to you today about the way. Proverbs 16:25 states: “There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.” There are a lot of ways to live your life and a lot of choices to make along the way. Some people choose to live their life completely for themselves. For example the rich young ruler in Luke 18 who came to Jesus and said: “...what shall I do to inherit eternal life? Jesus knew this man’s life was tied up with material things so He responded: “...sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.” This man wasn’t about to do that because his life was all about his own comfort. You can live your life all about yourself, all about others, all about God, or a little of all three. It is really up to you which way you live your life. But you know, if you will give your life over to God you will never regret it. It is one thing to get saved and another to give your life to Christ. Matthew 10:39 tells us: “He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.” People who get saved but never turn their lives over to Christ never really find that fullness of joy that could have been theirs. The man Job is a perfect example of how a person should live a godly life. He stood for God in the good times and the bad. He did not have a superficial faith nor a superficial religion even though his friends had accused him of such. The Bible describes him as an upright man who feared God and eschewed evil. He never cursed God nor charged God foolishly. We would be wise to follow his example because we have a future to look

DR. CHARLES SMITH MT. ORAB BIBLE BAPTIST CHURCH www.bbcmtorab.com forward to that does not pertain to this earth. In fact in I Corinthians 15:19 Paul states: “If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.” However, our hope in Christ does extend beyond this life. He is the only way to heaven. He Himself said: “I am the way...” Furthermore He said that He was the truth. People want to talk about a lot of different ways to go to heaven but there is only one way and one truth about that way and that is through Jesus! People tell me that we are all going the same direction on the same road. That is not what Matthew 7:13-14 states. It says: “Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat; Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.” So you see the majority are the ones on the wrong road and the minority are the ones on the right one. It is strait and narrow only because there is only one way, one gate. You can not go over, around, or under the gate. You must go through it and the name of the gate is Jesus. In John 18:38 Pilate asked: “...What is truth?...” Well, Jesus had already answered that in John 14:6. He is truth! His word is truth! In fact, in John 1:1 Jesus is called the Word! “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” Verse 14: “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father) full of grace and truth.” Revelation 19:13 says: “...and his name is called The Word of God.” He said: “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” So why do you think that you have to add anything else?

They are strong partnerships of people, governments and communities who work

ODOT seeking public comments for upcoming projects As part of the Ohio Department of Transportation – District 9’s Planning & Engineering Department, the Environmental Office is seeking public input on several upcoming projects. Adams-73-13.06 – The proposed project is the realignment of C.R. 18H (Jaybird Road) with S.R. 73 in Franklin Township of Adams County. The modified alignment will not require the removal of any homes or businesses. The intersection point between the two roadways will remain at the same approximate location, with an alteration to the geometrics of C.R. 18H. Also, a

westbound turn lane will be added to S.R. 73. Brown-221-2.38 - The proposed project is to replace the existing metal pipe arch culvert on S.R. 221 over Cane Run with a precast reinforced concrete three-sided flat topped culvert. Brown-286-3.42 – The proposed project calls for the replacement of a single-span steel beam bridge with a singlespan concrete box beam bridge on S.R. 286. The project will also include approach roadway reconstruction with pavement and shoulder widening, resurfacing, guardrail replacement and roadside grading.

Brown-221-1.25 – A slip repair project along S.R. 221 in Lewis Township in Brown County. The area to be repaired does not contain any homes or businesses, but several trees will be removed in order to repair the slope. Brown-41-1.00 – A project to replace guardrail and repair the shoulder within a 1.49-mile section of S.R. 41 in Brown County. Additional information regarding these projects, including a complete project description, maps and plans sheets, is available online via ODOT District 9’s web site at http://www.dot.state.oh.us/dis-

together to meet the unique and diverse health conditions of the community. Although health centers rely on a portion of federal funding, they are not a bureaucracy. In fact, they are run from the bottom up, by a patient-majority governing board who guides how limited resources can be effectively directed to meet the health care needs of the community. One of the bright spots in America’s health care system, health centers provide a health care home to over 23 million people at 8,000 sites nationwide. Locally, HealthSource of Ohio provides care to 55,000 patients at their 13 sites. The health center model of care was rated as one of the most effective programs by thenPresident George W. Bush’s Office of Management and Budget. Indeed, presidents from both parties and Members of Congress on both sides of the aisle have long-recognized the value of health centers and supported their expansion. Health centers are on track to expand their care to 40 million people over the next five years. With more health care homes in communities, we can reduce health care costs and unnecessary hospitalizations and visits to the hospital emergency rooms. According to the National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC), there are 60 million people in the country with limited or no access to primary care providers – a trend that shows no sign of improving with the economic recession. “Every day in our waiting rooms I witness the value of having a health care home,” said Kim Patton, CEO. “When people have a place to go for regular care, they use it and

stay healthier. We provide a range of services onsite – primary care services, pediatrics, pharmacy, dentistry, even mental health services. Our patients not only get the care they need under one roof, but they are treated as individuals, with dignity and respect. This is what health care should be, and what we celebrate during National Health Center Week.” Now more than ever public support is needed for health centers as Congress attempts to reduce the budget deficit with spending cuts to the program and changes to Medicaid that could further reduce access to preventive care for millions of people.

“We do have the money there in the general fund. We have $59,275 in the general fund. The street fund has $84,000, so we have this money. So when I read these numbers I don’t want people to groan. This is what the money is for.” Applegate made the following appropriations to the 2011 budget: • move an additional $14,000 to the police fund; • move $3,275 from enforcement in education to other; • $1,000 from municipal sales tax to other; • appropriate $9,264 to state highway other; • transfer $11,294 from water to other water, salaries and benefits and transfer $11,297 from sewer to other, sewer salaries and benefits. Following a brief explanation on the appropriations, the council voted to suspend the three reading rule and approved the appropriations. Applegate also told council that the village had begun to clean the clogged storm drains throughout the village. “Those drains are a mess,” he commented. “ They are just full of every-

Court affirms conviction of Lynchburg man for gross sexual imposition CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 the courts allowed the parents to each testify to what their daughter had told them directly. “It can be hard to win in cases like this but it can be done. Cain got three years in prison and will have to register as a sex offender when he is released.” Cain appealed his conviction and argued that the trial court improperly allowed the child’s

parents to testify regarding what their daughter told them. Writing for a unanimous court, Judge Robin N. Piper found that the trial court did not err in allowing the parents to testify. Presiding Judge Robert A. Hendrickson and Judge Rachel A. Hutzel concurred in the opinion. The decision of the Twelfth District Court of Appeals affirmed Cain’s conviction.

$10,000 then $50 per hour after that. “We’ve got to do more of these kinds of things ourselves rather than hiring them out,” he added. “I think that’s the best way to save the village money.” Chief Gast stated that he would like to thank the Village of Ripley for helping with the project by loaning Aberdeen a special ventilation system meter needed while working in the drains. All of council agreed to have Emily Henderson, village administrator, inquire on the cost of purchasing one of the ventilation meters for the village. Councilman Jay Castle added that Aberdeen can’t always be at the mercy of another town to help, and that the village needs to continue to purchase equipment necessary to do their own work in the village. Henderson told council that she had met with Brown County Engineer, Todd Cluxton in regard to the flood issues at the cemetery. Cluxton suggested replacing the pipe at Stivers Road with either 42 inch corrugated metal or 36 inch concrete pipe. Henderson plans to obtain prices for both. Henderson also presented a local resident of Aberdeen, Kay Marshall, with a certificate of thanks for all the hard work she has done for the Village of Aberdeen. Chief Gast advised council that Fire Chief Shawn Newman would be leaving Tuesday morning (August 2) for New York City to retrieve the village’s portion of the World Trade Center. He also asked council to help Newman with the costs of the trip, including motel and travel expenses. Council approved paying for the trip. Gast said a decision would have to be made on where and how the artifact would be displayed in the village.

Fayetteville senior quintet help to establish young football team

B R O A D S H E E T

cMyK

E v E n

Despite being relatively new, the Fayetteville football program has had to rise up and try to get past various hurdles that have popped up as the program tries to settle in for the long haul. The latest is an uncertain coaching situation that has left the Rockets with an interim coach in charge as they took the field for fall practice this past week. Yet despite all of this, the five Rocket senior football players--quarterback Tanner Williams, receiver Luke Allen, fullback David Kranz, offensive lineman Joey Burwinkel and tailback Jarrod Lindsey--are still confident that this team can be successful. So much so that one has set some lofty goals for the Rockets to reach this, their second varsity, season. “My goal is the playoffs,” Williams said, “and I expect

nothing less.” If the Rockets do reach the playoffs, it would be just the next item on a long list of firsts for this small group of seniors. They were among the first to play junior high football in eighth grade and will be the first group to play all four years for the Rocket high school football program. The milestones hold special meaning for the players. “We’ll always be known as the first to ever go through (all four years) Fayetteville to play football,” Williams said. But as Allen said, “There’s been a lot of obstacles.” The latest of those that they will have to overcome is the resignation of their now former coach, Ben Brisker. Brisker, who coached the Rockets through their first full season of varsity football last year, left in late July because he needed to take care of immediate family issues. The seniors, and (interim) coach, don’t feel like the

coaching change will have much effect on the season. “I don’t think we’ve ever really looked at it, the coaching situation, as anything outside of the field,” Williams said. “We’ve always looked at it as ‘We have football and we’re going to play it no matter what’.” Added Allen, “Our goals in football haven’t changed, just the staff.” Interim coach Harley McCullough--who is awaiting word on a final decision as to whether a new head coach or new assistant coaches would be hired (candidates were interviewed this past Wednesday)--is staying focused on the present. He, too, thinks there won’t be much trouble resulting from the abrupt coaching change. “We’re not changing what we’re doing,” McCullough said. “We already have things in and we’re running the same offense and same defense. We didn’t want (the players) to have to change again.” All the while working to overcome their obstacles, the Rockets seniors are trying to help the young program set itself up for the future. Coming off a 2-8 first full season of varsity football, the Rockets seniors are working hard to become a winning program that continually makes the playoffs. However, there are other factors that drive them to be so determined to succeed. Although they acknowledge they have plenty of support in getting the young pro-

gram established, they seem to be driven to prove their doubters wrong. “We know that there are a lot of people out there that are rooting for us but we just hear the bad side of things,” Allen said. “We know that most people are rooting for us but we still hear the negative side.” The Rockets first varsity season had its peaks and valleys. Though the seniors said it seemed like a normal season because they had played half a varsity schedule two years ago, McCullough said he could see things weren’t quite normal for the entire team. “Were we sometimes a little timid, maybe?,” he said. “Maybe. Some of our kids were like ‘Oh, wow!’ It’s coming at them a lot faster than reserve did. The play is so much faster.” The record wasn’t quite what the team had hoped for and they, quite honestly, felt disappointed that they didn’t get a couple of more wins they thought they might have been able to. But the team has put last season behind them and is looking forward to the coming year, despite recent events. For one thing, McCullough said that more guys came out for the team this year. After having about 26 players last season, he said they are at 32 now. Another thing McCullough is really excited about is that most of his skill positions on offense--quarterback, running back and receiver--are filled

by this year’s group of seniors. He thinks that will make them a dynamic team with the ability to win but, with everything in mind, he has set a simple goal. “Well, we’d like to win all 10,” McCullough said. “That’s kind of like our goal but (we want) to just have a good season and improve. Hey, we would love to have a winning record. Winning

two games (our) first year as a varsity team, that wasn’t bad. Now lets improve upon that.” While this group of seniors wants to win and make the playoffs this year, they also want to leave the program they helped launch in better shape when all is said and done. With the coaching situation unsure, the seniors said McCullough has placed some CONTINUED ON PAGE 15

Coming off record setting season, WB’s Woodyard looks to will the Broncos to win By Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press This time last year Nick Woodyard was beginning to transform himself into a playmaking wide receiver for the Western Brown football team. Fast forward a year and that same playmaking mantra is attached to Woodyard’s name. Only now, when he looks to make plays, it will have an effect on the entire Broncos offense. After a year that saw him forced into action at quarterback due to the injury of starter Matt Corcoran, Woodyard is right where he wants to be. “I’ve played quarterback my whole life, since I was six,” he said. And quarterback is the spot that the senior holds on to now as the Broncos opened fall practice Monday morning. He is firmly entrenched as the Broncos signal caller following a record breaking junior season. Though he started at quarterback for just eight games, Woodyard--an athletic quarterback with the ability to stay in the pocket and pass or take off and run--led the Broncos to a 6-2 record while passing for a school record 2,256 yards and 26 touchdowns while adding 733 yards on the ground and five more touchdowns. His play earned him Southern Buckeye Conference (SBC) American Division Player of the Year as well as Division II Third Team All-State. Not bad for someone who had never played quarterback in a spread offense before his first start against Waverly on September 10. With the team already riddled with injuries after just two weeks, and who had

dropped its first two games, Woodyard could have caved in to the pressure against Waverly on the road. But he didn’t. His play helped lead the Broncos to a 21-7 win over the Tigers, their first of the season. “Under the circumstances, he played very well,” Broncos head coach Evan Dreyer said. Though he had played quarterback for most of his life, playing the position in Dreyer’s spread offense was new to Woodyard. Not to mention he had gotten so good as a receiver that Dreyer said of his play at the position, “one-on-one Nick will not be guarded as a slot receiver.” The transition was a bit difficult initially. “Just reading coverages on defense was new to me because, like I said, we were just handing the ball off my whole life when I was a quar-

terback,” Woodyard said. “At the beginning of the season I was a receiver the whole time. I was just used to catching the ball and not really throwing the ball at all. It just hit me out of nowhere. I wasn’t expecting Matty (Corcoran) to get hurt.” Though there was an adjustment, Woodyard had plenty of people helping him to ease through. Dreyer played a large part in helping him adjust as did the other Bronco offensive assistants coaches. His Bronco teammates chipped in as well. The Broncos two senior receivers a year ago, Brad Rhodes and Jake Banfil, helped on two different fronts. Both were big time receivers who wanted the ball so it eased Woodyard because he knew that they would get to their spots and be open. Then all he had to do was get CONTINUED ON PAGE 15

Coming off record setting season, WB’s Woodyard looks to will the Broncos to win CONTINUED FROM PAGE 14 the ball to them. And the duo would let him know when they were open on plays, but didn’t get the ball, so Woodyard would be ready the next time. Additionally, his time spent at receiver ended up being invaluable, too. While Woodyard was a receiver for just a short amount of time, it still helped him get some ideas on how to read a defense from the quarterback position. “From a receivers perspective, I knew that if it was a Cover 2, and (I) was running a fade, I would sit right in the middle (of the field),” he said. “So as a quarterback I knew what he was doing right away.” Even with the initial rocky start, it didn’t take long for Woodyard long to start to feel comfortable in the pocket. He started to feel it during the Waverly game. By the Broncos next game, a tough loss to eventual SBC American champ New Richmond, he was right at home. His play was one of the reasons the Broncos were able to overcome the multiple injuries, and 0-2 start, to finish a respectable 6-4. With one season under center under his belt, Woodyard is confident heading into this season. He is also determined to push the Broncos toward their goals. “Nick’s dedicated, he wants to win,” Dreyer said. “His will to win is bigger than anybody on the team. That that level. “We’ve just got to be confident,” Woodyard said. “We’re a smaller team so we’ve got to be more aggressive. We’re fast. We have to take that as an advantage that we have.” As the quarterback, long known as a position of leadership, and one of that level. “We’ve just got to be confident,” Woodyard said. “We’re a smaller team so we’ve got to be more aggres-

sive. We’re fast. We have to take that as an advantage that we have.” As the quarterback, long known as a position of leadership, and one of the six selected captains for the season, Woodyard knows that he needs to help guide his teammates in improving on the field and off. “When I see someone walking on the field I try to tell them to hustle,” he said. “(Tell them) to not screw around when they’re not getting in the play. Just talk to them about the game.” This year, Dreyer said, the Broncos will ask more of Woodyard than to just be the playmaking quarterback. He will be working with a new group of receivers and taking on a new role on defense. “This time he has to not only be a leader but he also has to play defense,” Dreyer said. “He has to do more things this year than last year.” Woodyard and the

Broncos continue to work towards the start of the regular season as they continued to go through two-a-day practices this week. Next week the Broncos will play two scrimmages including a home date against Glen Este on Tuesday.

They want to instill a winning tradition at Fayetteville and teach the underclassmen to play the right way not only for this year but for the future of the program. “We’re trying to motivate these younger guys so we make their senior year better,” Allen said. “So they take it more seriously. They don’t understand it yet.”

Williams added, “I want to leave them with a team that everybody expects to be good. I want them to live up to those expectations.” As the Rockets continue to work towards the season and towards adding a winning season and a playoff appearance to their list of firsts, the seniors are excited about something that is already going to happen for the first time this season. When the Rockets host Williamsburg on September 9, they will not be doing so at

Goshen, as they did last year, they will be playing at a brand new football complex at Fayetteville High School. Williams said playing a home game at their own field will be more exciting than it was being apart of their first full varsity football season. And they hope their supporters will be right there with them. “If the first home game is not completely packed,” Allen said, “I’m going to be disappointed.”

Wright finishes runner-up at local tennis tournament Morgan Wright, a senior at Western Brown High School, finished runner-up in the Robbie Slack Memorial Tennis Tournament, a USTA Event, at Mercy Health Plex in Anderson Township last weekend, July 29-30. She defeated Page Thoreson of Highland Heights, KY in the semifinal match 6-0, 6-1. She was beaten in the championship match by Rachel Littman of Indian Hill by a score of 6-2, 6-2. Wright, last year’s Player of the Year in the Southern Buckeye Conference, and the rest of the Lady Broncos begin their season on August 15, at home, against Clinton Massie.

Slackers, Bryan Back’s Greenbush Baptist team and Jared Jones’ After Shock team all emerged from bracket play with two wins and no losses. After completion of bracket play, and after waiting three hours for the diamonds to dry out, play switched to one and out elimination. Second and third place bracket teams played each other trying for wins that would allow them to take on the three undefeated bracket winners. Two rounds of frenzied competition gave way to surprises as the upsets begin. Ashley Silva’s Musketeers, who lost both games in bracket play, came on strong with two wins and defeated Greenbush Baptist to move to the finals. Brad Perry’s Swagger team, who won one and lost one in bracket play, knocked off Sluggers + Slackers to move into the semifinals where they lost 10-1 to After Shock. The championship game, completed at 9:30 p.m. by some very tired players, saw After Shock continue their heavy hitting to beat the Musketeers 15-5 in five innings. Tournament award T-shirts were presented to the 2011 champions After Shock, second place Musketeers and third place Swagger. Sponsors of the tournament are very grateful for the support that has made the tournament a success over the years. A special thanks goes out to the Ogden Family for providing a facility and doing all they do in making the tournament possible. Great thanks also goes out to the participating teams,

umpires, cash contributors, newspapers and to the many volunteers who help in so many ways. Proceeds resulting from all of these contributors continue to be added to the Becky

Menard Scholarship Fun and make it possible to annually award a $5,000 scholarship to a Western Brown High School senior female scholar-athlete to be used in starting her college career.

throughout the county has proven to be a major challenge for many of our students, especially those taking online courses. I support the merger because it addresses the lack of broadband in our communities and will expand opportunities for better health care, educational opportunities, and economic growth.” Lynn Harden, Executive Director of the Brown County Public Library, also recognizes the economic and business benefits of broadband and its many educational and medical benefits. “Broadband can usher in many innovations such as distance learning, digital learning tools, tele-medicine, and enhanced work force training. These kinds of applications contribute to our quality of life.” Earlier this year, AT&T announced its intent to acquire TMobile USA from German owned Deutsche Telekom in a $39 billion deal. The transaction has generated a great deal of support from elected officials, community leaders, and various organizations, but it must ultimately be approved by the FCC and the Department of Justice. The approval process is expected to take about 12 months.

completed its first session of classes with a great success and benefit to those riders it serves! The Thursday night class consists of 4 autistic riders, 14 Volunteers, 1 Certified NARHA Riding Instructor and 4 great horses. Classes are held at the Cherry Ridge Stables in Georgetown, OH. Riders participate in grooming, tacking up, and riding horses with the help of many volunteers to ensure safety throughout the class. All share the goal of independent riding for our riders when their skills are developed and ready. There are many benefits to therapeutic horseback riding and differs between disabilities. Benefits have already been shared with the program by the parents. One parent stated “Mac is 6 yrs. old and this is the first time I have seen him excited and engaged not only with the horses but with the responsi-

bilities of caring for the equipment before during and after. He seems to really

ing and fulfilling highlight of his week. Prior to this Mac was really disengaged from animals but OTHP has help bring Mac to a connection that has helped him bridge his fear of animals and appreciate the related relationships with those around him in the program and of course his horse...Little Girl”. Another parent stated “Sammi not only connects with Whisper...her horse...but now asks for help with everything she draws especially spelling the captions of her pictures of course always centered around Whisper. Prior to the class she did some coloring and really had no interest inspelling or writing but the class has brought out her creative side and a new inspiration to learn, we are just having trouble trying to explain that Whisper can't come swimming in the pool.”. The national governing body

Horsemanship) fromerly known as NAHRA (North American Riding for the Handicap Association) uses the “power of the horse to change lives” and OTH is proud that it’s program is able to work with riders in the surrounding area to live up to this organizations goal! This program hopes to grow to provide more services to Brown and surrounding counties. To do so there are many volunteers needed to help the program succeed in the areas of class spotters (volunteers), rider sponsors, and fundraisers. The program is a 501c3 non-profit and support/donations from our residence and businesses are tax deductable.

Many individuals and organizations across the nation are calling upon the Federal Communications Commission to support the rural expansion of high speed wireless broadband service that would result from the merger of AT&T and TMobile. With the merger of the two wireless companies AT&T will extend the next generation of wireless broadband, called 4G LTE, to over 97% of the U.S. population. This expansion will cover many rural areas of Ohio, including Brown County. “This is important for our community and our ability to be competitive in the global economy” said Tim McKeown of McKeown Insurance Service and Chairman of the Board at the Brown County Chamber of Commerce. “It’s critical that we let the FCC know we want the same kind of services, applications, and benefits that customers in large cities enjoy.” In a letter to the FCC, Louis Mays, Professor and Librarian at State Community Southern College, expressed his support of the merger. “I explained to the FCC that the lack of reliable, high-speed wireless broadband coverage
