‘Unanticipated Debts’ force BCGH job cuts Fifteen positions at Brown County General Hospital have been eliminated. Southwest Healthcare Chairman Paul Tuft termed the move “a regrettable but necessary action that will allow us to continue to provide quality healthcare to Brown County.” Tuft was in Brown County on Sept. 7 and 8 to assess the progress and financial status of the facility. “We’ve made great strides in patient satisfaction and improving quality”, Tuft said. “We’re very proud of that.” However, Tuft said the financial status of the hospital required some changes. “It turns out that things were in a little worse shape than we
thought at the outset”, Tuft said. “At the time of the closing, (on June 2) our debts to vendors and others appeared to be approximately three million dollars. Once we got in here and got going, they turned out to be closer to four and a half million.” Southwest agreed to assume approximately 10 million dollars of debt to purchase the hospital. An additional 1.5 million dollars would bring the total debt to 11.5 million. Tuft said Southwest has satisfied over a million dollars of debt in the past 90 days and has paid out 3.3 million dollars to employees in salaries and benefits. “We’re going to continue to do whatever is necessary to continue to provide quality
healthcare for the community and jobs for our employees”, Tuft said. “It hurts to have to tell people that they’ve lost their job, but we had to make some cuts to bring expenses closer to revenue.” Tuft added that “every penny that comes into the hospital, we re-invest into patient care. Our company has not taken a dime out of it.” Tuft said that other initiatives, both short and long term, were underway that are designed to improve the financial picture of the hospital and ensure its long term success. He added that if the amount of patient care at the hospital increases, revenue will increase as well. “That would allow us to posCONTINUED ON PAGE 11

Ripley man facing child porn Moler Raceway gets court victory, restrictions removed charges after stash discovered BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press
BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press
The restrictions on racing at Moler Raceway Park in Sterling Township have been lifted for the time being. The Ohio 12th District Court of Appeals has reversed a June 2010 decision by Judge W. Richard Walton to order restrictions on the racetrack after neighbors filed a civil suit based on noise and nuisance complaints. “We find that the trial court’s decision failed to make a determination as whether or not proof, to the degree required, established that a nuisance exists or is anticipated to exist. We therefore reverse the restrictions placed on Moler by the trial court.” Mike Cappel, attorney for the Moler’s, said his clients are pleased with the ruling. “We want to be good neighbors”, said Cappel. “We hope to put this issue behind us as we continue to operate the track in a way that is as considerate of our neighbors as possible.” Attorneys for the plaintiffs in the case had no comment. Walton originally ruled that the Moler Raceway may only allow racing on Friday nights and all racing must stop at midnight. Moler has been following those restrictions since the ruling while it was on appeal. The appeals court said in essence that Walton was not clear enough in how his restrictions could be measured or enforced. The court has asked Walton to refile a more specific ruling in the case. Walton “is to determine with clarity whether or not a nuisance exists or is anticipated to exist, what type it is and what restrictions are proper.” Presumably, either side in the case could then appeal the rul-
A Ripley man is facing numerous charges of child porn possession. 38 year old Eric Kratzer faces 19 counts of Pandering Obscenity Involving a Minor. He is also accused of Unlawful Sexual Contact with a Minor and Disseminating Matter Harmful to Juveniles. His alleged victim in those two charges is 14 years old. The alleged victim is not associated with the charges of Pandering Obscenity. Georgetown Police Chief Buddy Coburn said the case began when the mother of the victim noticed that her daughter had a strange cell phone that her parents had not purchased. Coburn said upon examining the phone, she found sexually suggestive texts that were allegedly sent by Kratzer. She also found a picture of

ing to the 12th District Court of Appeals. Walton’s original ruling said that “the running of the racetrack past midnight would constitute a private nuisance”. Other restrictions included requiring mufflers on all racing cars and limiting decibel levels to 75 decibels at 100 feet from
the track. The judge also ordered that all lights and speakers be aimed at the racetrack, not outward and that the cost of the lawsuit be “assessed equally between the plaintiffs and defendants”. The ruling also said it “shall run with the land and be binding CONTINUED ON PAGE 11

what police say are Kratzer’s genitals. That picture is the basis of the Disseminating Matter Harmful to Juveniles charge.
Kratzer is also accused of having direct sexual contact with the victim, which is the basis for the Unlawful Sexual Contact with a Minor charge. Coburn said a search warrant was obtained for Kratzer’s computer and cell phone. Upon further investigation, Coburn said he and his officers made a disturbing discovery. “We found a tremendous amount of child pornography on that computer”, Coburn said. “The vast majority of it depicted children that we estimate to be between four to eight years old.” Coburn added “The pictures were so upsetting, I was literally sick to my stomach.” Coburn is in the Brown County Jail on a $500,000 bond.

Dunn will be joining the Ohio Highway Patrol and will enroll in a patrol academy class soon. “Andrew has done a good job for us and we appreciate all his hard work”, said Brown County Commission President Ralph Jennings. “We wish him well as he joins the Ohio Highway Patrol and in his future endeavors.” Dunn’s resignation letter to the commissioners reads: “This letter is to notify you of my resignation as the Chief Dog Warden of Brown County. I am submitting my resignation due to a career change that is more suitable for my family as well as me. My last day as Chief Dog Warden will be Sept. 16, 2011.

reads: “As I make this career change, I would like to thank the current Brown County Commissioners, as well as former county commissioner Margery Paeltz, for affording me the opportunity to serve as the Chief Dog Warden of Brown County.” Jennings said that the commissioners were “discussing our options” in light of Dunn’s pending departure. The commissioners are still considering a proposal by the Brown County Humane Society for taking over operations of the animal shelter.

The staff at the Brown County Animal Shelter is excited to announce ‘Dogtoberfest” scheduled for October 8 at the shelter from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. “We’d like to invite everyone in the county to come out for this big event,” said James Massie, deputy dog warden. “This is an open house for the shelter, and Brown County residents can come in and see what a great facility we have here. “We’ll be grilling out and hopefully some of our residents will be adopted out at the same time.” The shelter is now open on most Saturdays from 10 a.m. until noon, for the convenience of residents. “I’ll be here on Saturdays on
my own time,” Massie said, “I’d love to have other volunteers come out and walk some of our dogs and just spend time socializing with them. It helps us learn more about the dogs and also helps us in finding just the right home for the dog.” The shelter is completely self sufficient and is funded entirely by dog license sales, kenned tag sales, late penalties, citations, adoptions, owner give ups, redemptions, microchipping, euthanization fees and donations. Donations of certain items are always needed and appreciated for shelter operations such as Clorox, dish soap, Windex, paper towels, dog food (both soft and dry), dog bones, worm medication, flea and tick treatment, dog leashes, collars and monetary donations are always helpful.

“I believe in God.” Most people have no hesitation in making that statement. In fact, recent polls say that nearly 90% of Americans believe in God. But what about Jesus? Was He really the Son of God? Was His mother really a virgin? Did He really come back to life after being executed? Is Jesus alive today? Can He do the same miracles now that He did then?

Much-needed grant means a brighter future for local efforts to feed homebound seniors ABCAP Senior Nutrition has been awarded $ 4,320.00 through a Walmart Foundation grant to the Meals On Wheels Association of America (MOWAA). The money provided the ABCAP Senior Program with a much-needed commercial range, which is critical to continue serving seniors. This financial support is desperately needed as many Meal s On Wheels programs across the country continue to struggle with skyrocketing gasoline costs and rising food prices. The Walmart Foundation-MOWAA “Building the Future” Impact Grants allowed ABCAP Senior Nutrition to buy equipment and help ensure sustainability while fostering long-term growth. “Thanks to the Walmart Foundation-MOWAA Building the Future Impact Grant, we now have a brighter future in our efforts to keep feeding seniors in our community,” said Denise Neu, Director, ABCAP
Senior Nutrition Program. ”This grant will help us provide the next meal to many of our clients in need and will truly make a difference for the seniors of Brown County. The Walmart Foundation recently announced a $5 million donation to MOWAA as part of a $2 billion commitment to support hunger relief efforts through 2015. Part of t hat $5 million donation will fund the “Building the Future” Impact Grants. The grants will help more than 100 local Meals On Wheels programs purchase stoves, refrigerators, trucks and other equipment needed in the fight to end senior hunger. The Walmart Foundation first became a partner of Meals On Wheels in 2008. A donation of $750,000 to MOWAA helped 80 struggling Member programs restore meal services th at had been reduced or were facing cuts. In late 2009, the Foundation donated an additional $2.2 million to MOWAA that helped 147 Member programs expand their meal services with new equipment. “We know that seniors are among those hardest hit by hunger in this country. Many are home-bound, and rely on neighbors and community
volunteer programs like Meals On Wheels to help put food on the table,” said Margaret M cKenna, president of the Walmart Foundation. “Through this $5 million grant, we hope to bring additional attention to senior hunger and help ensure our parents, grandparents and friends who have added so much to our lives have access to healthy and nutritious food.” “The Walmart Foundation continues to step up to the plate in the fight against senior hunger,” said Enid Borden, President and CEO of MOWAA. “T hey understand that joining Meals On Wheels in this battle is a moral imperative. The Walmart Foundation’s generous support helps ensure our programs sustain meal services well into the future. We can’t thank the Walmart Foundation enough for being such a powerful partner in our mission to end senior hunger in America by the year 2020.” Research sponsored by MOWAA reveals that more than six million seniors in America face the threat of hunger. The Walmart Foundation-MOWAA “Building the Future” Impact Grant program is intended to help combat the problem of senior hunger.

Letters to the Editor
Reader says turn to God to save country Dear Editor, Do you feel like you’ve been kept in the dark and fed a bunch of manure? Do you feel like a mushroom? Have you started to get a sickening feeling in you gut, when your leaders, both of the government and of your church, tell you “Everything is good, just trust me?” Have you begun to get that feeling that this is not the America that your parents and grandparents grew up in: Do you have an overcoming sense of dread when it comes to our future, not only on a family level, but also on a level that covers every man, woman and child on this planet? From the pitiful condition of our economy, (brought on by Democrats and Republicans), to the rapidly degenerating morality of this once great “Christian” Nation, (brought on by individuals, and the so called “church leaders”, turning away from God Almighty)...America is rotting away and unless we, as a people, do not turn back to the Almighty God of Israel, and the “Christian-Judea” principles that this nation was founded upon, then America, much like the Roman Empire, will soon fall! We have gone from being the world’s leading economic and military power, during and after the 1940’s and have now become the world’s greatest “debtor Nation”, and a vastly weakened military power, at least in the area of “Conventional Warfare”. The government tells us that ‘the recession’ is over. I say that’s just another dose of manure and darkness! As the “common man” is drastically cutting back on his everyday way of living, juggling which bills to hold off on paying, even facing bill collectors, and foreclosures...the nation’s banks, investment groups, oil giants and more are reporting record breaking profits! Yes, the ‘recession’ s over, but only for those who have found favor in the federal government and those corporate giants who are ‘too big to fail.’ The solution, to the many problems that this nation faces, given to us by the federal government, are even more regulations and laws which serve to kill economic growth, and strip the American people of their rights, which are guaranteed by the Constitution of the
United States. Did the Tea Party, Republicans and Democrats that loudly proclaim, ‘we are here to serve you’, stop the Obama Health Care Plan? Did they enact a prudent and honest play to make America the economical giant that it once was? Have they stopped the unreasonable searches of children at our airports and instead focused their attentions upon those who are supposed to have brought about this decade of terrorism, in other words, the Muslims? Have they made America ‘energy independent by safely and prudently drilling for oil in the Gulf of Mexico, the Eastern and Western seaboards, northern Alaska and the Rockie Mountains? Did they enact a plan that would have had the best scientific minds come up with a way to burn coal more efficiently, and with less pollutants? (This act alone would open our coal fields, place hundreds of thousands back to work and break the hold that the middle-east has upon America!) The answer to these questions and many more is...more manure and darkness! But what about our religious leaders, what are they doing and saying? Joel Osteen, on July 24, on his Sunday morning show on channel 9, proclaimed that ‘2011 will be a great year!’ What a relief it is that he did not proclaim that ‘we are in deep kaka,’ for if this is ‘a great year,’ I shudder to think what a terribly bad year would be like! Many ‘False’ religious leaders are proclaiming ‘peace and prosperity,’ much like the false prophets of Israel, written of in the book of Jeremiah 23:1-40 (KJV). These false teachers/pastors/prophets seek only what they can gain in power and finances, while all along totally ignoring what the Word of God Almighty explicitly states. Dennis J. Varnau, caught my attention with what he stated in his letter to this newspaper, June 12, 2011, where he wrote of ‘Christian denomination doctrines, as in Baptist, Church of Christ, Roman Catholic, etc., being false doctrine teachings.’ I agree whole heartedly with this, although I do not agree with his belief of “Paul’s Gospel.” I say here, to those who will hear, that there is only one church/congregation/assembly cho-
sen, called, redeemed and favored by the Almighty God of Israel and that is ‘the Children of Israel.’ I’ll give only a few references of scripture here from the King James Bible, although the N.I.V. is suitable also: Matthew 24:1-31, Acts 7: 37,38, Matthew 10:1-6, Matthew 15:21-28, Matthew 1:21, Matthew 2:1-6, Romans 9:1-33, Romans 10:1-21, Romans 11:1-36, Ephesians 2:8-22 (pay attention to verses 2:11-13, Ephesians 3:6, Ephesians 4:1-6, Isaiah 41:8-29, Isaiah 43:1-28, Isaiah 44:1-28, Isaiah 45:4-25, Revelations 12:14, Revelations 20:1-15, Revelations 22:1-15, Jeremiah 30:1-24 and Daniel 12:1-3. Contrary to the popular belief, that the Almighty God of Israel has broken his covenant promises with his children, the Twelve Tribes of Israel, and given them to the
“Gentiles”...the word of God Almighty proves that those ministers that teach this, are at the least, Biblically illiterate and at the worst, blaspheming liars! But one must open their eyes and mind, when they read the preceding scriptures and the many more which pertain to Israel (the Children of Israel, the Commonwealth of Israel, the House of Israel, even when the Lord says “My People”, for they will soon learn that they have been lied to by their false prophets and their false teachers. You may wonder how this is related to the manure being fed to us from the government? It is basically the same thing, they demand the tithes and offerings from you, while they violate Hebrews 7:5 and Matthew 25:31-46, which are only two of a great many scriptures con-

Be kind to your pet by spaying and neutering Dear Editor, Recently, I ran into a friend who lives in one of the apartment complexes in Georgetown. She was very upset because people had been dumping cats (some were expecting) in front of the apartment complex. She told me that one of the female cats had her kittens out in the woods behind the buildings and and apparently had brought her kittens up to the apartments in hopes of getting fed and her kittens getting fed as well. The people who own these particular apartments will not allow the tenants to feed the starving cats, as they do not want the tenants to have animals in the apartments, which is understandable. The tenants are afraid of being evicted if caught feeding them, a fact that these “dumpers” probably do not know. It is sad that the tenants have to turn a blind eye to the situa-
tion. I surmise that those who dump the cats think that the tenants will take the animals in when in fact the cats are being left in the wild to fend for themselves and eventually getting hit on the road. I realize that because of the crippled state of our economy that there are those that cannot afford to keep their pets. But dumping your animal along the side of the road and making it someone elses' problem is never the right thing to do and is the epitome of cruelty. Being a cat lover, it breaks my heart to know that this kind of thing is happening. Spaying and neutering your animals is the only answer to this problem. Those who are thinking of dumping your pet please think twice about what you are doing. The side of the road is not a suitable home for your pet. Deborah Whisman Hamersville
Dear Editor, Warning to all ADT customers. You may not know this because they don’t tell you, but unless you tell ADT to put it in your file that whenever you call to ask you for your safe word, because they might not. According to ADT they do not have to even if your alarm goes off or if the panic button gets pushed. All they have to do is call your house and the cops. And if they don’t reach you on your home phone they don’t call anyone on your call list. I found that out the hard way. I first got my ADT after my house was broken into. Being a single mom it was the only thing I could think of to help me feel secure in my own house and protect my sons. So instead of buying a gun I pay $45.00 a month for peace of mind. I never thought I would use the panic button but it made me feel secure if the worst would happen. With a push of a button ‘help’ would be there and I would be rescued and my safe word is my backup! That’s what I was told until the worst did happen and I found out differently. I was forced into a bad situation that I had to push the panic button. ADT did call the cops and tried calling the house but my phones were taken apart so I didn’t get that call to allow me to use my safe word. The Sheriff did come out but I was unable to answer the
door or give any sign of distress. It took me an hour, but I was able to convince the perpetrator that if I did not call ADT they would continue to send cops out. I was so relieved that this horrific night would be over. I never thought saying one word (of course it wouldn’t be my safe word) would make me so happy. I was using my cell phone and it was on speaker so he would know that I was keeping to his script. After telling the woman at ADT the story, my heart was pounding so hard, waiting for her to ask what was my safe word but to my dismay all she said was ‘okay and have a good night’, click! OMG I almost got sick. “Have a good night!?!” Wow! Four hours later of being held hostage I was able to piece together a phone and dial 911. I really want to thank the Sheriff’s Department and all the officers for acting so quickly and efficiently. So if you have or know anybody that has ADT please call ADT and make it MUST that they ask for your safe word whenever you call. I don’t want you to go through what I did. ADT Security didn’t come to my rescue but I want them to come to yours. Call them today so if they ever tell you ‘have a good night’, you will! Terri Reid, Mt. Orab
What Do You Think? After 10 years since 9/11, do you feel America is safer from terrorist attacks?
Yes, I do feel safer, I think 9-11 was a wake-up call and security in America has been beefed up. Ben Jeffery, Georgetown
I do feel safer today, because the people who are responsible for our safety have been pro-active, and nothing has happened since 9-11. Grant Cahall, Mt Orab
I think we're doing better here in America, but I still don't feel safe. Rebecca Long, Mt. Orab
No, I don't feel any safer, in fact I feel even more vulnerable. Christy Buller, Sardinia

don’t want my U.S. Post Office to close. Who do you say that to? Well, in Brown County you say it to Jean Schmidt our U.S. Congresswoman her number is 1800-784-6366. Jean’s our gal. Make sure you call her office and while your on the phone tell our U.S. Senators from Ohio: Rob Portman, 513-684-3265 and Sherrod Brown 1-888-896-6446. In a gallop poll taken in March, 2010, 86 percent of U.S. citizens do not want their U.S. Post Offices to close. The last time I looked 86 percent was still a majority but if you don’t make your voices heard then it looks to me like the other 24 percent will have it their way. What most of us forget, me too, is that if “we the people” voice our opinions we are the biggest lobby group. Why is the post office in such a fix? According to Postal Regulatory Commission Chairman Ruth Goldway, “Commission analysis has found that the Postal Service’ financial crisis derives from an overly ambitious requirement for the Postal Service to pre-fund its future retiree health benefit premiums. Over the past four years, the Postal service has paid $21.9 billion to pre-fund these benefits.. All oth-
ers things being equal, the Postal Service would have achieved a small net profit over that time, except for the pre-funding requirement - rather than losses exceeding $20 billion. The Commission’s objective analysis shows that the Postal Service has essentially over paid as much at $55 billion into the Civil Service Retirement System, and those funds could be used to help address the current crisis.” The requirement to pre-fund the healthcare benefits of future retirees was mandated by the Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act of 2006, and is unique to the Postal Service. It should be noted that the U.S. Post Office is not run on tax payers money but on retail sales. Why is the Post Master General targeting 3,700 communities with three quarters of them being rural for possible closure of their post offices? This is a good question according to the Postal Regulatory Commission if the Post Master General were to get rid of all rural post offices it would only account for .07 percent of the U.S. Post Offices budget.

Reader says turn to God to save country CONTINUED FROM PAGE 4 cerning the tithe, offerings, the sick and the poor. These false ministers and prophets seek the same thing as the government...money and power over the people! Out of complete ignorance or a deliberate lie, they support the false Sunday Sabbath as taught by the early Catholic Church, they’ve turned the Passover into a weekly communion, they’ve cast away the commanded Holy Days (Leviticus 23:1-44, I Corinthians 5:1-13, Acts 20:16 and instituted pagan ‘holidays’ in their place. They teach of a ‘pre-tribulation rapture;, while ignoring Matthew 24:1-30, II Thessalonians 2:1-4, Revelations 13:1-18, Revelations 14:1-20, Jeremiah 30:1-24, Revelations 1:1-21 and again these are only a few of many many scriptures which speak of what is soon to come upon not only the saved, chosen, called Redeemed, the Elect, the Saints, the Church, the Children of Israel...but also upon the entire world. Very soon, neither the government of man, nor the churches of man will have productive answers to the ever increasing earthquakes, violent weather, terrorism, war, famine, drought, disease, immorality, nor the loss of love and compassion for one another. All of these, and many more are the direct result of turning away from the Lord God of Israel and his Covenant of the Ten Commandments! (Exodus 31:12-17, Exodus 34:27-29, Deuteronomy 9:10,11, Exodus 20:1-17, Matthew
22:35-40, Deuteronomy 4:1-45, I John 3:4-24, Matthew 5:17-20, I Kings 8:1-60, Romans 6:1-23, Romans 2:11-131, I John 2:1-5, Hebrews 8:6-13, Revelations 22:13,14 and again, these preceding scriptures are only a few of a great many which speak of the Ten Commandments Covenant. Read in the book of Deuteronomy chapters 28 through chapter 33 for an accurate description of what is happening to America...this is the result of turning away from God Almighty! This ‘turning away’ applies to ‘the government of man’, and to ‘the churches of man...in other words, the producers of more manure and more darkness. What can one do about these things? In the physical world, elect those people who can ‘stick to their work’, and quickly remove from office those who do not. In the spiritual world, read the entire Bible and become very familiar with it, do not take any teaching as ‘the truth,’ unless it can be verified by the Word of the Lord God for guidance, wisdom and knowledge of his way. I say here, that a time of trouble, of tribulation, of the most unimaginable horror ever known by mankind, will soon be upon us, and yet the government and the churches keep treating those that they should be caring for and leading...just like mushrooms David DeBord Hamersville
passage of Issue 2, according to John C. (Jack) Fisher, Farm Bureau's executive vice president. Provisions of the issue are consistent with the policies established by Farm Bureau's grassroots membership. "If we are to preserve jobs and services, local governments need flexibility to manage ever increasing labor costs. Issue 2 allows public employees to collectively bargain for hours, salaries, terms and conditions, just like they have for more than 25 years," Fisher said. "But now, taxpayers have equal footing when it comes to the negotiating process." With the private sector losing jobs and generating less tax revenue, and with salaries, health
care and retirement benefits accounting for as much as 80 percent of local budgets, local governments must be able to manage their finances in ways that are fair for their public employees while also being accountable to taxpayers. For example, public sector employees currently pay less than 9 percent of the cost of their health care on average and many pay nothing into their own pensions. Private sector employees pay 31 percent of their health care costs on average and often get no pension. Passage of Issue 2 would bring public employees closer to what private sector employees pay. "Ohio's tax burden, driven mostly by the costs of local gov-
What can we do to save our Post Office? CONTINUED FROM PAGE 4 ting rid of “brick and mortar” (ours is just wood) post offices isn’t making any dint in their bottom line, nor is the proposed consolidating of post offices, but these measures would sure reek havoc with our mail service. So our value isn’t in our “brick and mortar”. Our value is in our voices. Who knew? What are our rights? Postal code 39: “The Postal Service shall have as its basic function the obligation to provide postal services to bind the nation together through the personal, educational, literacy and business correspondence of the people. It shall provide prompt, reliable and efficient service to patrons in all areas and shall render postal services to all communities.” Can we lose our rights? You bet ya, on Wednesday, Sept 14, at 11a.m. there is a proposal before the Postal Regulatory Commission considering a request form the Postal Service to prepare an Advisory Opinion on its plan to sys-
tematically review 3,653 postal offices for possible closure or consolidation. Chairman Goldman states “I encourage everyone to review the information posted in Docket N2011-1 to follow the proceedings and to contact us with their thoughts and comments. This is an important filing that may result in significant changes for the mailing public.” Again, get on the phone and call the Postal Regulatory Commission 1-202-789-6846 tell them you are against the closing of Rural U.S. Post Offices. If you’re real ambitious read the docket. You won’t like what you read. Write them a letter and make them explain why they want to close rural post offices. In February, Peter Funt of The Herald News wrote: “With basically the lowest first-class postage rate of any nation on the globe, the U.S. Mail gets delivered on time or in many cases faster than promisedwith incredible consistency.” Kay Fry, Decatur
ernment, is the 16th highest in the nation. Factory workers, office workers, farmers and anyone else with a nongovernment job can't afford to just keep paying more," Fisher said. During its deliberations, Farm Bureau met with representatives of both Issue 2 campaigns, studied various reports, listened to member input and hosted the first debate between the campaigns on its weekly public affairs radio program Town Hall Ohio. Both sides made compelling arguments, Fisher said. However, opponents to Issue 2 were unable to convince the organization that many of their concerns were valid. "We believe passage of Issue 2 will actually preserve public sector jobs and services," Fisher said. "It gives school boards, city councils and other local authorities more options to control costs other than layoffs or firings." OFBF will provide its members and the public with materials that will allow them to closely examine the issue and arrive at an informed conclusion. The
organization will encourage Ohioans to carefully study the details of both sides’ arguments. “This is too important for voters to base their decisions on simple campaign slogans,” according to Fisher. Ohio's 360,000 public employees who teach our children and protect our communities deserve to be fairly treated, according to Fisher, but so too do the 4.3 million private sector workers plus farmers, retirees, small business owners and others who pay the costs of local government. "Issue 2 returns balance to the collective bargaining process. Taxpayers will no longer be at a disadvantage while negotiating with their valued public employees," Fisher said. “Ohio cannot get past its current fiscal challenges without addressing the reality that government costs too much,” he added. “Issue 2 is crucial to moving Ohio forward, which is why Ohio Farm Bureau is encouraging a ‘Yes’ vote on Issue 2."

Youth archery deer hunt drawing at Deer Creek State Park The Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Division of Parks and Recreation in cooperation with the Division of Wildlife will hold a public drawing on Saturday, Sept. 17, 2011 for a chance for youth hunters to archery hunt for deer within a specially designated area of Deer Creek State Park. The hunt will occur during the regular Archery Deer Season on Saturday, Oct. 15 and Sunday, Oct. 16, 2011. All youths age 17 and under are eligible to participate in the archery deer hunt. The drawing will take place at the Deer Creek State Park Office located at 20635 State Park Road 20; approximately 6 miles south of Mt. Sterling. Registration begins at 9 a.m. and the drawing will be held at 9:30 a.m. Youth are not required to register or be present at the drawing to participate in the hunt. Instead, a properly licensed non-hunting adult (18 years of age or older) must be present to register and enter the drawing. Each licensed non-hunting adult may enter the drawing only once. In order to enter
the drawing, the non-hunting adult must present both a valid 2011 Ohio Hunting License and 2011 Ohio Deer Permit. The names of 10 licensed non-hunting adults will be drawn and each successful applicant will receive a Deer Creek State Park Youth Archery Deer Hunting Permit that is valid for October 16 and 17, 2011 (2 days). Successful applicants may take a maximum of two youth hunters on this two-day hunt. While hunting, each youth hunter must possess a valid Youth Hunting License or Youth Apprentice Hunting License and a Youth Deer Hunting Permit. Youth hunters must be accompanied at all times by the licensed non-hunting adult (18 years of age or older). Drawing participants are reminded that Hunting Licenses and Deer Permits will not be available for sale at the Deer Creek State Park Office and that all applicable licenses and permits should be purchased before the day of the drawing.
The list of records or near records could also include very high cull cow prices. The demand for beef exports is really high, too. All of this at the same time we are seeing a terrible drought in the Southern Plains, which is a region of the US that produces a large percentage of our beef. Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas are right in the heart of this drought. This will continue to impact beef prices at the market for some time to come. When I say market, I mean the market for beef producers, but I could have also meant the grocery stores or restaurants. The beef supplies are low. Several cows were sold earlier this year due to really high cull cow prices and some farms being converted to growing more grain with the high corn and soybean prices. Now you consider the liquidation of herds in the drought stricken areas, we have seen the number of momma cows decrease significantly in the past few months. This has happened during a time when we were already looking at very low cow numbers. The numbers that I heard thrown around over the past couple of years, when talking about the National Cow Herd numbers, were that they were as low the numbers in the 1950s. The demand for beef has grown since the 1950s here in the US, but the exports have grown much more. With that said, it takes time to expand a cow herd. Cows reproduce with one calf a year. Chances are you will be lucky if you have a calf crop of somewhere in the 80% to 90% range when you consider some calf death losses, cows that did not breed back, and in cases like this July, they may have bred back, but lost the fetus due to the extreme heat. Even if you are lucky enough to have a 90% calf crop, only half of those will be females. Those females that are nursing their mothers now will not produce a calf that is ready for slaughter

until at least late in the year of 2014. In addition to all of this, keep in mind that our hay crop in Southern Ohio in 2011 is not great. From all of the hay that we have sampled, very little of the first cutting should be considered good quality. The numbers show that the nutritional value is lacking even on the hay that appears to be have been cut early, once the rain finally slowed down. So, low quality hay will need supplemented with high dollar supplements to produce healthy calves in the coming calf crop. Another expense, but one that must be assumed or you will end up with inferior calves to market. In many cases producers also report the quantity is less than normal, too. Low quantity will result in purchasing additional hay. In the past when our hay supply has been low, hay has been purchased from out west. Remember what I said about a drought in the Southern Plains, hay is being shipped there, and has been for months. So the hay supply is most likely going to become tight. We all know how that works, when the supply is down and the demand is up, the price is high. The other factors in building the herd is the fact that you have record, or near record, cull cow prices it is less likely that farmers would retain marginal cows, especially when faced with record, or near record, feed prices. Oh, and with record or near record feeder calf prices and high feed costs, it is difficult to keep those young females that will not produce a calf ready for slaughter until late in 2014, too. At some point the cow numbers will begin to expand again, but when? Farm Science Review The dates for the Farm Science Review in 2011 are September 20-22.

Shrimp Harvests Soon As I type this article on Tuesday morning, the Highland Co. Fair in progress and the shrimps harvest are coming up soon. The temperatures are making the Highland Co. Fair a little different than normal, but the temperatures might be causing shrimp farms some problems soon if it stays this cool for very long. The critical temperature for the shrimp is in the high 50’s. It seemed really close to that early this morning. The Labor Day Weekend was from one extreme to the other. The temperature was near, if not into, triple digits on Saturday and barely into the 60’s on Monday. We did get some much needed rain, but the forecast for the week does not call for temperatures to reach the 70’s unless there are a few periods of sunshine. A four or five day stretch of temperatures like this could cool the water down to the point that shrimp farmers might begin to get a little nervous. There are two farms that I know of that have shrimp harvests scheduled for the next few Saturdays. The Ratliff farm located near the Adams and Brown Co. line on John Wood Road, which connects US 62 and SR 32 will have two days open to the public. The dates are September 10 and 17. The other farm is the Davis

NO MONEY IN ETERNITY Matthew 16:26: “For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?” One morning I was looking at the business section of the paper and it was telling me of the CEO’s in Cincinnati who were, on the average, making one to five million dollars a year in salary. One CEO in particular said that business was so good that he was to receive a 13% bonus this year. His normal salary was five million a year so that would be a half a million dollars or there about. But if these CEO’s making this kind of money are not saved, what is going to profit them? The Bible asks the question: if a man should gain the whole world and lose his own soul, what does it profit him? It was Jesus asking the question concerning very rich people. Now there is nothing wrong with making money or having profits from a business. That is not what I am talking about. I am not at all against that! However, I do not think that hoarding is such a good idea. King David made sure that the people who stayed behind to guard the camp got the same amount of spoil as the men who went to war. That principle is still in effect today. But the subject that I want to discuss concerns the soul. Jesus asked two questions in the same verse: what shall it profit a man if he shall gain the whole world but lose his soul, or what shall he give in exchange for his soul. Your soul is a very important part of you but most of the time people think more of taking care of the body than they do the soul. When we go to the refrigerator to get food, even if we call it soul food, we are not usually thinking of our souls! Amen? If you really want soul food you will find it right there in your Bible, the Authorized King James Version of course! However, I have a feeling that if we could survive solely on soul food there would not be too many obese people in this world. Would you agree? We really need to feed our soul. That is why Jesus was making the comparison with the world and finance and profitability which a man can make. Now, let’s go back to Genesis 2 to find out about this soul business. Look at verse 7: “And the LORD God
DR. CHARLES SMITH MT. ORAB BIBLE BAPTIST CHURCH www.bbcmtorab.com formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.” Notice that the body was formed but it did not have a soul or a spirit. Until God breathed into his nostrils the breath of life then, and only then, did he become a living soul with a spirit. Let’s back up to chapter 1 and verse 27. “So God created man in his own image...” God did not just make man out of the dust of the ground. He created a soul while He made a body. Then He repeats: “...in the image of God created he him;...” That created part is important! What a pattern God used to create you and me! He created us after the pattern of Himself! And look, there is no inferiority here. “...male and female created he them.” He made us a body but He created us. We are a never dying soul, or if you prefer, an ever living soul. Our body will die but not our soul. It will be forever in existence. It will either be in Heaven or in Hell for all eternity. Our time on earth is relatively short. Even if you lived to be 100 it is not much time in comparison with eternity. Therefore, what will it profit you if you spend all your time here trying to get rich and leave no time for caring for your soul? Jesus is showing that money is not going to guarantee your soul. That does not mean that a rich man can’t go to heaven; it simply means that more are concerned with this world than they are the next. That is what Jesus was talking about in Matthew 19:23-24 when He said: “...Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven. And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.”

Creature Feature Focus on senior pet care BY DR. DAN MEAKIN Did you know your pets’ senior years start at age seven? Frequently asked vet questions: My pet’s always been healthy. Why should I worry now that they’re a little older? • Just like people, your cat’s or dog’s health will change as it ages. And because pets age faster than people, major health changes can happen quickly. Especially for senior pets, early detection and treatment can help them live longer, healthier lives. Regular checkups can uncover hidden disease before it is clinically apparent. Many infectious diseases show few signs during initial infection. As disease progresses and signs become visible, it may be harder for senior pets to fight infection. What particular risks does my senior pet face? • Similar to people in their “golden years,” senior pets have an increased risk of diabetes, heart and endocrine disease, and cancer. Because these diseases show few signs in early stages, preventive health care and routine blood work are very important. Issues with mobility often affect pets as they become older. Arthritis or stiffness in the joints can be painful and lead to decreased exercise and activity levels, or make simple tasks like climbing stairs more difficult. Pets with mobility issues often face additional risks associated with a medication for pain/inflammation (NSAI Ds). Without monitoring,
DAN MEAKIN CREATURE FEATURE
NSAI Ds can affect the kidneys and liver over time. Regular blood work will ensure your pet stays healthy and pain free. Also like aging people, senior pets have a greater risk of gaining excess weight because of changes in metabolism, exercise levels and more. As a pet’s weight increases, so does their risk for developing heart and liver disease. What can I do to help? • Schedule an annual
wellness visit for your pet. Regular checkups can help your veterinarian detect disease sooner, even if your pet shows no signs of being sick. Watch for changes in your pet’s health. Tell your veterinarian immediately if you notice any changes in behavior, diet, exercise/activity level or mobility. Help your pet live a healthy lifestyle. Nutrition and exercise can help your pet live longer and healthier, so make sure they eat right and play often. Dr. Dan Meakin is the owner of All Creatures Animal Hospital, 1894 Ohio Pike in Amelia.

“Armed Forces” stamp on driver’s license could give veterans a retail discount Ohio veterans can get an “Armed Forces” designation stamped on their driver’s license or state ID the next time they renew/update their driver’s license. The stamp, placed on the lower right of the license or ID, provides veterans with recognition of their military service. The stamp is provided at no additional cost when requested at the time a license or ID is renewed, but normal driver’s license fees still apply. “The ‘Armed Forces’ designation on the Ohio driver’s license and/or ID card recognizes the service of our military men, women and veterans,” said Ohio Department of Public Safety Director Thomas Charles. “We are proud to offer this no-cost way of recognizing those who have served.” One of the advantages of his program is that the specially labeled license may be honored by Ohio merchants who give military members or veterans a discount. Whether a discount is granted, however, is solely dependent upon each individ-
ual retailer’s policy. A number of retailers in Ohio will offer a military or veterans discount, either periodically during major holidays, or at all times. Retailers generally require that some form of photo ID is produced to receive the discount, either a current military active duty or retired ID card, an ID from the National Guard or Reserve, or an ID showing enrollment in health care from the U.S. Department of Veterans’ Affairs (VA). But veterans who served limited terms of service are generally not issued such documentation. The “Armed Forces” stamp, which has been in existence since December 2009, enables these veterans to have a photo ID as a sign of their service. To be eligible to receive the stamp, at no extra cost, veterans must provide to the Bureau of Motor Vehicles a copy of their DD 214 or DD 215 when they renew their driver’s license or military ID. Other forms of identification acceptable to receive the stamp include a VA
ID, a current military ID, a leave and earnings statement, or a copy of orders. “I strongly encourage all veterans to get the ‘Armed Forces’ stamp when they renew their license,” said Ohio Department of Veterans Services Director Tom Moe. “Our department’s principal goal is to connect veterans to their benefits, and this will help us identify our veterans while possibly providing them with a very helpful benefit.” The Directors of Public Safety and Veterans Services emphasized that a military or veterans discount is not available from all retailers, or if so, perhaps not year-round. Whether or not a retailer provides a discount or accepts the “Armed Forces” stamp as proof of service to receive a discount is up to the policy for each individual retailer. However, the minimal time and effort expended to obtain the “Armed Forces” stamp, at no additional cost, could add up to real money saved next time they shop.

Now is the time to take a walk in your yard BY Faye Mahaffey The Master Gardner I have been enjoying the cooler temperatures in the mornings and have enjoyed walking around the yard with a cup of coffee. It’s time to put some markers out in the flower beds to remind me what needs to be moved or divided in the fall. The Magic lilies have almost finished blooming. I always smile when I see the pink blooms and think of my “Grammy” and her special name for these flowers – Naked Ladies. She always had a little twinkle in her eye whenever she talked about these amazing flowers. This seems to be one flower in my landscape that all my critters leave alone. This week’s Buckeye Yard and Garden Line explains that the Resurrection Lily can be seen blooming in many parts of Ohio right now. These lilies thrive in sunny to partially sunny areas. They grow best in loose, moist soil with good organic matter. These lilies are members of the Amaryllis Family, which includes other well-known bulbs such as common amaryllis, daylilies, daffodils, and snowdrops. These lilies are easy to grow and naturalize readily. Magic lilies have strap-like leaves that emerge in spring and die down by mid-summer. No leaves are present during summer months or when the blooms arise (hence the name Naked Lady). Resurrection lilies are called surprise or magic lilies because in late summer, flowers appear

almost magically since there is no foliage to indicate where the bulb is planted. Leafless stems emerge and quickly grow 12-24 inches tall or more before being topped by 8-inch clusters of tubular flowers. These lilies make excellent cut flowers as well as beautiful garden plants. I noticed that most of the leaves on the milkweed plants have been consumed by hungry caterpillars. I found a furry caterpillar on one of the leaves and later identified it as the milkweed tussock moth caterpillar. I find it interesting that the milkweed down by the vegetable garden has barely been touched by any hungry caterpillars. They seem to like the crop in the front yard better! My cucumber vines are still blooming and producing. They look a bit rough, but the cucumbers are nice and tasty. The Buckeye trees have lost their leaves and the buckeyes are still pretty soft inside their shells. My Beautyberry shrubs are blooming and will soon be full of amazing little purple berries that are a key source of food for birds. Whenever there is a strong breeze the Black Walnut leaves tumble to the ground. I have already grown tired of sweeping leaves off the deck. This past week’s strong winds brought down walnuts on the roof. Poor Kitty was terrified of the loud thumps. As I was cleaning up the deck, I noticed that some of the large pots are in need of a few new plants. Fall is always a fun time to try some new ideas for containers. Brussels Sprouts, Swiss Chard, Ornamental Kale and Cabbage are just a few of the cool weather plants that can add a spark of color to your containers. I have a partial packet of leaf lettuce that I am going to scatter in one of the pots. Last fall I planted some Sedum in a large brown planter and was surprised to see that it had survived the winter. Sadly, the deer have discovered the sedum and have “pruned” it enough this summer that it won’t have a chance to bloom. The ornamental grasses in my Wind Garden have been spectacular this year. The Northern Sea Oats have seed heads that sway with the summer breezes. You can snip the seed stalks for a vase. The great thing about this grass is that it grows in full sun or part shade. The Pampas Grass must be 14 feet tall this year! The Japanese Blood Grass is a beautiful blend of crimson and green. Grasses are a fun way to play with different shades of colors and textures. My Bluestem Grass was just a small transplant last year, but is now an important part of the color scheme, along with the Bunny Grass and Blue Fescue. One of my favorite fall blooming perennials is the Blackberry
lily. The most recent issue of Ohio Gardener profiles this colorful, low-maintenance perennial. Bright green leaves in flat, 2-foot fans contrast well with other perennial foliage throughout the first months of summer. In midto-late summer, 2-inch deeporange flowers spotted with red appear on wiry 3-foot stems. In September the flowers turn into green pods, which split open to reveal show blackberry-like seed clusters. The seed clusters, which give the plant its common name, aren’t edible, but they are great additions to cut arrangements. The foliage turns a dramatic yellow in October. They thrive in full sun, but will tolerate partial shade. As it is with any gardener, I have a couple of spots in my landscape that need my attention. After planting some English Ivy about 17 years ago (I heard you gasp with shock), I realize that I have English Ivy headed up several trees and encroaching on the Hosta beds close to the house. I have been reading the book, “Native Alternatives to Invasive Plants” and hope to replace the English Ivy with a native plant. What is a native plant? The book explains that the Federal Plant Conservation Alliance defines a native plant species as one that occurs naturally in a particular region, ecosystem, and/or habitat without direct or indirect human intervention. Gardeners should always consider using regional native plants in their landscapes as a way of preserving the natural character of your area. The native plants are more apt to survive without needed special care from you. I’m all for anything that takes less water and attention – how about you?
So enjoy this weather and take a walk in your yard and see what you discover!

Nonresident landowners now required to purchase licenses and permits The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR), Division of Wildlife reminds nonresident landowners that they are legally required to purchase nonresident licenses to hunt, trap or fish in Ohio. The new law went into effect on July 1, 2011 and requires a nonresident owner of land in Ohio and the owner’s children and grandchildren, if applicable, to purchase a nonresident hunting license, deer or wild turkey permit, fur taker permit, or nonresident fishing license. Prior to July 1, Ohio landowners with residency status somewhere other than Ohio did not have to purchase licenses or permits to hunt, trap or fish on land they own.
Landowner license exemptions will only apply to Ohio residents. This change in Ohio law nullifies a reciprocal agreement with Indiana, which means that Ohio residents with land holdings in Indiana are required to purchase a nonresident hunting license, deer or wild turkey permit, fur taker permit, or nonresident fishing license. Similarly, children and grandchildren of a nonresident landowner must purchase hunting, fishing, and trapping licenses and permits. In Ohio, a resident is considered, by law, a person who has resided in the state of Ohio for the past six consecutive months. In Indiana, a
resident is considered, by law, a person whose true fixed and permanent home and principal residence has been in Indiana for 60 consecutive days prior to purchasing a license or permit and who does not claim residency for hunting, trapping or fishing in another state or country other than the U.S. All others are nonresidents. For questions or clarification contact the Division of Wildlife at 1-800-WILDLIFE or visit our website at www.wildohio.com. The ODNR ensures a balance between wise use and protection of our natural resources for the benefit of all. Visit the ODNR Web site at ohiodnr.com.

‘Unanticipated debts’ force BCGH cuts sibly offer some of those people their jobs back”, Tuft said. Eric Sontag, Chairman of the Brown County Hospital Board of Trustees during the sale process, was more direct about the link between residents choosing to use the hospital and its financial condition. “People need to use the hospital if they want to keep it”, Sontag said. He also had a message for those still critical of Southwest Healthcare. “I think they saved the hospital”, he said. “It’s time for everyone to step back and let them do what they need to do to make it work.” Brown County General
Hospital CEO Joan Phillips said steps are underway to continue to improve quality and patient care. “We have engaged a consulting firm to review our physician agreements and physician practices”, she said. “We’re hoping that this will allow us to improve our patient care procedures and reduce our expenses.” Phillips said that “every admission and every patient” makes a difference, both in the financial picture for the hospital and in how resources within the hospital are used. She also pointed to a sharp in crease in patient satisfaction scores in the three months since Southwest took over operations at BCGH. “Those scores jumped eight
or nine points in a three month period. That’s almost unheard of in the healthcare industry”, Phillips said. She added that some of the changes implemented within the hospital include hourly rounds by staff and regular visits to patients by supervisors...and in some cases by Phill ips herself. “I go out on rounds regularly”, she said. “Patients and families are always pleased to see the CEO of the hospital show an interest in their care.” Phillips said she’s had people tell her that their current stay in the hospital was a “mind-changer” for them and that they said they would use the hospital again when they needed medical care. A final point of pride for
Phillips was the fact that D epartment of Health and other inspectors have all told her that they have noted improvements to the hospital as well. As to the future, Phillips said one of her projects was employee morale. “Morale isn’t where I’d like it to be right now”, she said. “Some employees are still worried about the future of the hospital, but we’re doing everything we can to put those concerns to rest.” Regarding the employees that we re laid off, Phillips echoed the thoughts of Tuft. “As soon as our financial picture improves, one of the first things I’d like to do is be able to bring those jobs back”, she said.

9/11 Memorial in A’deen ‘Flag of Honor’ CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 tect working on a design for the display right now, and he is donating his time and talents.” Following the flag presentation, council members as well as audience members applauded. Newman told council that 4 x 6 inch bricks will be sold for $50 each and 8 x 8 inch bricks will be sold for $100, which will be part of the construction of the memorial. In other business at the meeting Applegate told council that since funds had increased in the village from mayors court and other sources, he stated that the police department was in dire need of newer police cruisers. “Our cruisers are in pretty hard shape,” Applegate began, “Two of our cruisers have well over 100,000 miles on them and are in constant need of repairs. “Right now we have an opportunity to purchase two Crown Victoria cruisers, a 2007 with 67,000 miles and a 2008 with about 69,000 miles on it for only $12,000 dollars, and I think we should take advantage of it.” Police officer Jacob Goodman told council that the company selling the vehicles is in Chicago and has a good reputation and has been checked out with the Better Business Bureau. “These two vehicles are worth a lot more than $6,000 a piece,” Goodman commented. “We have 90 percent of all the equipment we need to equip
them and we can do the work ourselves. The insurance payout is about $3,000 more than what we’re paying for them.” Applegate told council that with the upcoming sale of several old cruisers, the village would only have to come up with about $4,500 and the police department would cover the rest. Goodman said he and one other officer could take a Greyhound bus to Chicago for about $35 apiece and drive the vehicles back. Councilman Robert Hutchison asked for comments from Bobby Meadows, owner of Meadows Garage who was in attendance of the meeting. According to Applegate, who welcomed Meadow’s remarks, Mr. Meadows has been keeping the village cruisers on the road for many years and has donated all labor costs to the village. Meadows said he too felt like the purchase of the two Crown Victorias would be a good investment. Council voted to appropriated the $12,000 for the purchase of both vehicles, with approximately $7,500 reimbursement coming from the police department, pending the sale of two older vehicles. Emily Henderson, village administrator told council that there was still $450 left in grant funds which has to be used by December 31, or forfeited. Applegate said he would still like to see the word “Aberdeen” placed on the bank of the Ohio River which would
Moler Raceway gets win, no restrictions CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 upon the current and future owners and operation of activities upon the premises”. Determining what type of nuisance the racetrack is to the plaintiffs, if any, is critical to the case. The law requires different responses for nuisances that are private, public and what is known as “per se”, or absolute nuisance. An absolute nuisance is one “consisting of an unreasonable interference with the use and enjoyment of the property of another.” The law also allows a judge to set restrictions if they issue a ruling that says a nuisance is “anticipated to exist” based on the actions of the defendants. The ruling says that “The degree of proof required before
a court will enjoin (legally prevent) an anticipated or threatened nuisance must be clear and convincing.” Regarding the restrictions put in place by Walton, the court said that his order “did not include necessary details regarding the implementation of those orders.” The appeals court continued in their ruling, stating “The trial court erred by issuing restrictions without first establishing a clear determination of the nuisance allegedly in existence and the reasons for finding the various restrictions are necessary.” The appeals court ruling also mentions that Sterling Township, where the racetrack is located, does not have a noise ordinance. Walton will reissue his ruling at a later date.

be visible to everyone crossing the bridge from Kentucky into Ohio right in Aberdeen. Also, according to Henderson the EPA is very close to signing off on final approval of a new wastewater treatment plant in the village and construction could begin as early as two weeks. Council also approved erection of a 12 inch by 18 inch sign in the village park which states, ‘For the Health of Our Kids, Please do not use Tobacco Products in the Park.’ Approved too, was a proposal by Keith O’Dell, water superintendent, to purchase a sludge removal kit for the village at a cost of $9,862, which should save the village up the $17,000 the first year. The plan is part of several mandates from the EPA. Brown County Commissioner Rick Eagan, also approached council, just
before they entered into executive session. “We (the commissioners), have a federal FEMA, EMA Grant that was applied for by another township in the county, that for whatever reason, whey are not going to be able to come up with their match,” Eagan began. “This is a $6,000 EMA Grant which requires matching funds. It is for emergency sirens which are narrow banding compatible for the 2013 mandate.” Eagan said only Aberdeen, Fayetteville, Russellville and Higginsport were qualified, and since Aberdeen has the biggest population of the four, the grant was offered to that village. All council members agreed that the village needed a new siren it voted unanimously to suspend the rules and apply for the funds.

Early mistakes prove costly in Broncos loss to visiting Franklin By Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press

for a nearly 20 yard run a Wildcats defender came up from behind and popped the ball out as Woodyard fought for extra yardage. With the recovery, Franklin took over on the Western Brown 43 yard line. This time the Wildcats drove methodically down the field. The 11 play drive saw the Wildcats convert two third downs and a fourth down. When all was said and done, the Wildcats cashed in the Broncos second mistake on a Hymer 1-yard touchdown run -- his second of the quarter. “It was the worst start that we could think of,” Dreyer said. After the Wildcats added a 35-yard field goal on another long drive, the Broncos looked to be putting a drive together to score. Taking over at their own 31 yard line, the Broncos went big on the first play. Nick
Woodyard found receiver Mike Lindsey for a 44-yard gain. After a penalty, Jake Lawson took a pass from Nick Woodyard 17 yards. Once again turnovers reared their ugly head. Gunner Woodyard took a handoff and has he was fighting for extra yards in the pile when Franklin’s Kelly LeForce stripped the ball for him and took off the other way. “Turnovers we harped on since the Hillsboro game,” Dreyer said. “The last week we harped on them. One of them, the interception, our quarterback kind of had a lapse right there. The fumbles (were) kind of one of those things were (when) it rains it pours. Nick fumbles on a 4th and 1 on an 18-yard gain and Gunner fumbles when he’s running hard. Both of those turnovers were kind of them just being them-
Lady Rockets earn hard fought victory over good Cincy Country Day team looks. The Lady Rocket defense held up through all the offensive attacks and didn’t allow so much as a decent shot on goal in the entire 18 minutes. Given how well the team played, with the emphasis on team, Schmidt is very happy with his team at this stage of the season. “I love way the team’s playing,” he said. The win moved the Lady Rockets to 7-1 (4-0 Southern Hills League) on the season. On Saturday afternoon, the Lady Rockets will host Columbus St. Francis DeSales at 3:00 p.m.
By Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press There wasn’t much that was nice outside in Fayetteville last Tuesday night. It was cloudy, grey, rainy and, at times, downright chilly for early September. Yet the soccer being played on the field between the Fayetteville girls soccer team and Cincinnati Country Day was quite the opposite. Both teams attacked offensively, defended well and got strong performances from their respective goalkeepers. Despite being a tightly contested match, the Lady Rockets found a way to get a goal about halfway through the second half to beat the visiting Lady Indians 1-0. “It’s just a great, great win against good competition,” Lady Rockets coach Jim Schmidt said. “CCD is a great program, well respected in the city. 1-0 is a great game of soccer and it could have gone either way.” Neither team were able to do much offensively in the first half of the match because of the other. Both teams played strong defense and didn’t even allow many good looks for one another. Each team had one or two good looks that they weren’t able to get much of a shot off at. In the beginning of the second half, it was much of the same. The teams would attack some into the others half of the field, but before they could get much going in attacking the net, the other’s defense would step up and clear the ball. That was the case until the Lady Rockets had a couple of players step up and make a play.
some positives going from that.” And it looked like there were going to be quite a few more positives after the Broncos recovered a Wildcat fumble on the ensuing kickoff and had the ball once again. But this time the Broncos drive stalled and all the momentum they had built up quickly disappeared. “When we got that kickoff recovery and we didn’t put it in, it kind of killed us,” Dreyer said. “But at the same time, we have to have players make plays in their red zones.” For the remainder of the fourth quarter, it was all Franklin as the Broncos were forced to pass the ball and go for it on fourth down to get back in the game. When they weren’t able to pick up first downs, the Wildcats took advantage of short fields to add two late touchdowns. Though there were things
he didn’t like, Dreyer did like some of the things he saw Friday night. He said he thought -- if you took away the Wildcats three big running plays -- that the Broncos defense played well. Moving forward to their game this Friday against Waverly, Dreyer said his team needs to work on a couple things -- most notably holding on to the ball. “We need to be more physical at the point of attack, especially on the O-line,” he said. “We’ve just got to get back to work with our offense, working on not making turnovers. On defense (when) they’re running the football, making sure they’re are no big plays.” Offensively, the Broncos were led by Lawson. He ran the ball six times for 77 yards. Nick Woodyard was 12-28 for 137 yards and two interceptions.

Eastern uses strong start, team play to get victory over Ripley By Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press The Eastern volleyball team started really well last Thursday night at Southern Hills Conference rival Ripley. The visiting Lady Warriors rolled to a 25-5 first game victory behind a strong serving performance and held off the resurgent Lady Blue Jays in next two games to go back to Sardinia with a 3-0 match victory. They won game two 25-16 and game three 25-22. “I’m very happy,” Eastern coach Carmela Reeves said of
the win. “It was a concerted team effort tonight. They did great with their communication, I think that’s key to the game. And we had some tremendous serving out of our individuals.” Though her team lost, Ripley coach Aimee Carpenter was pleased with her team’s effort. She said they just gave the Lady Warriors too many opportunities. “I thought it was a good effort by the girls,” Carpenter said. “I think the problem today was that we kept setting CONTINUED ON PAGE 15

Much like the teams match, this pursuit for a loose ball is tightly contested. The Lady Rockets came away with a hard fought 1-0 win over visiting Cincinnati Country Day last Tuesday night.
With about 22 and a half minutes left in the game, the Lady Rockets got a free kick 10 or so yard outside the 18 yard box. Amanda O’Donnell took the kick for the Lady Rockets and lifted a really nice cross to the front of the goal and in the direction of teammate Tori Huber. Huber, meanwhile, got inside position on the CCD defender trying to keep her away from the net. As the ball settled, Huber was able to get control of the ball and had a clear shot on goal. She nailed a shot that went high into the net above the Lady Indians keeper to give the home team a 1-0 lead.
“Tori did her job,” Schmidt said. With the Lady Rockets on the board and the clock quickly moving towards zero, CCD went to work. For much of the rest of the game following the goal, the ball stayed in the Lady Rockets half with the Lady Indians continually attacking. “They had on us on the ropes the last 18 minutes,” Schmidt said. “They were throwing everything at us. They were probably throwing nine out of the 11 players down, trying to score.” Despite their aggressive action and continual attacks in the Lady Rockets half, the Lady Indians didn’t really get many

Though its offense was able to put up over 40 points in its season opening win, the Western Brown football team had areas that needed work as they looked towards their second game against Franklin. Chief among their areas of concern were turnovers. In their win over Hillsboro, the Broncos turned the ball over seven times. And while they didn’t turn the ball over quite that much against the visiting Wildcats, the Broncos were plagued by costly early turnovers that led to their 30-6 loss last Friday night at Kibler Stadium despite a strong rally in the third quarter. “It was a game of us making mistakes,” Broncos coach Evan Dreyer said. “They barely made any mistakes.” The mistakes started early on in a first quarter the Broncos will likely try to quickly forget. Just three plays into the game Broncos quarterback Nick Woodyard was intercepted by Franklin’s Scott Dwyer. After a short return, the Wildcats were set up nicely at the Broncos 29 yard line. It didn’t take long for the Wildcats to take advantage of the Broncos turnover. On their second play, Chris Hymer took a pitch to the outside and sprinted 33 yards for a touchdown. Just like that, the Broncos found themselves down 7-0 less than two minutes into the game. When the Broncos got the ball back, disaster struck again. This time, on the fourth play on the drive, Woodyard took off running. He busted a run and had space in front of him but just as it looked as if he was going be taken down
selves and playing to the whistle.” The second fumble ended the Broncos possibility of scoring in the half and the teams went to the break with Franklin on top 17-0. When the teams came out of the locker room, the Broncos had much better luck. The Broncos defense got a big three and out on the Wildcats first possession of the half and followed that up - after the Broncos offense had driven the ball into Wildcat territory but turned the ball over on downs -- by forcing the Wildcats to turn the ball over on downs. Then the Broncos offense finally got their own big play. On a first down play from their own 40, Nick Woodyard took the snap and started to his left on the option play. At the last second he pitched the ball to Lawson who proceeded to burst through a hole and down the sideline. By the time a Wildcat defender could force him out of bounds, he had run 57 yards and gotten the Broncos inside the five yard line. And after a Gunner Woodyard carry, the Broncos got on the board with the help of some luck and being in the right place at the right time. Nick Woodyard took off from the 3 yard line and as he was running towards the end zone the ball was jarred loose. Thankfully for the Broncos, senior offensive lineman Coty Weiss was there to back up his teammate and he quickly jumped on the loose ball in the end zone for the touchdown. After a blocked extra point, the Broncos were within 17-6 and on the comeback trail. “We made a game out of it, 17-6, in the third quarter,” Dreyer said. “We some took

top of their game and did just that. Eastern senior Emily Meese got the Lady Warriors some breathing room on her service turn and got the Lady Warriors a 24-22 lead after being down most of the game one or two points. Fittingly, the Lady Warriors got the winning point on a set by Andrea Tracy after she had been set up by her teammates. That team oriented play was the big reason Eastern was able to come away with the victory. Using good communication all night long, the Lady Warriors were consistently able to set one another up to score points. They had very few missed shots and errors. “There was just a lot of good interchange between them,” Reeves said of team’s play. “They just stepped up, filled in where it was needed. They did a great job.” With the win, the Lady Warriors improved to 2-2 (20 SHL) on the season. They had lost to Western Brown and Batavia in a tri-match August 27 and beaten North Adams 3-2 in a hard fought SHL match on August 30. Meanwhile, the Lady Blue Jays fell to 0-2 (0-2 SHL) on the young season. They had previously lost to Fairfield on August 30.
Southeastern uses its speed, with some help from the heat, to get by the Rockets
CMYK
By Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press Sometimes there are things that are simply too much to overcome in one game. The Fayetteville football team found out just how true that was last Friday night in Chillicothe against Southeastern. The combination of Southeastern’s speed and Friday night’s heat proved to be just a bit too much to overcome as the Rockets lost to the host Panthers 4114. “All in all, we’re pretty pleased,” Rockets coach Harley McCullough said. “Things are just not quite there yet.” Right off the bat the Rockets saw the speed they would have to deal with for the rest of the evening as Southeastern’s Steven Hall - who qualified for the state track and field meet as a sprinter last year -- ran the opening kickoff back. However, the Rockets were able to respond, and play with, the Panthers for the rest of the half. And with about three minutes left in the half, the Rockets found themselves tied 14-14. They had gotten there because of two solid scoring drives in the second quarter. Much like the Rockets first game against Portsmouth Notre Dame,
they were once again able to move the ball in a fashion they wanted. Using a steady offense predicated on using multiple plays to score, the Rockets did just that. One of the scores was a 45-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Tanner Williams to receiver Luke Allen. The other was a 5yard scoring run by Williams. Williams had another nice game as he went 7-18 passing the ball for 108 yards and one touchdown. Coming off of a 43 point loss to Notre Dame, McCullough was pleased with the way his team had improved. For the most part. “We played a much better first half,” he said. “Defense was playing pretty good. We just couldn’t hold the speed in. The kid was good, he was fast.” The kid McCullough was referring to was Hall, the same person who returned the opening kickoff for a touchdown. Hall used his speed in the final three minutes of the first half -- after the Rockets had tied the score -- to help the Panther take control. He lead his team to two quick touchdowns and a 28-14 halftime lead. When the teams came back out in the second half, heat began to become a factor -- particularly for the Rockets.
While the Panthers were able to rotate kids in and out, the Rockets weren’t afforded that luxury and began to tire. That helped the Panthers add two more touchdowns to the board and for them to take a 41-14 lead after three quarters. “We were tired,” McCullough said. “That was just an unbelievable night. They started subbing...They were fresh. Our guys were just (gassed). It drained people Friday night, it was hot.” Though it wasn’t the result he wanted, McCullough is seeing what he would like to from his young team. “We’re in the direction we want to go,” he said. “(We’ve) got to be ready this week, we’ve got a tough one.” The Rockets will take on Willamsburg, who is 1-1 on the season. They are coming off a 49-6 win against Paint Valley. There will be quite a bit of buzz around the game this week as it will be the first game the Rockets will have hosted at their new football complex after playing their games last season -- their first varsity season -- at Goshen. “For us it’s a big game,” McCullough said. “It’s (the) first home, home game. We’re looking forward to it.”

Lady Broncos remain undefeated on season with win at North Adams By Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press The Western Brown volleyball team started quickly last Saturday morning against North Adams. Though they got off to that good start, the Lady Broncos had to sustain a couple of Lady Devil rallies before they ultimately were able to finish off their hosts by a score of 30. They won 25-14, 25-12 and 25-22. “We started off strong then kind of backed off,” Lady Broncos coach Carla Fite said. “Then they came back and picked it back up. That’s what we needed to do.” In the first game, the Lady Broncos rolled to a victory thanks, in part, to Leah Leist. The sophomore setter took the ball to serve with her Lady Broncos up 4-3. By the time the Lady Devils were finally able to break her serve, the visitors found themselves up 17-4 and well on their way to a first game victory. Leist served well but also had plenty of help keeping her serve. Her Lady Bronco teammates, and Leist as well, were able to save a couple of balls that looked like they would be points for the Lady Devils, including one where the ball nearly hit the ceiling. However, the most noticeable advantage the Lady Broncos had all match long began to show itself in the first game. Using a combination of Kylie Garrett, Alli Morgan and Mackaela Fischer, the
Lady Broncos controlled the net all morning long. Garrett and Morgan, both outside hitters, got several points for the Lady Broncos throughout the match by taking advantage of their skills at the net but the duo was particularly big in the team’s second game victory. Garrett was continually able to turn setups from her teammates into points. Morgan, who played well at the net, was the service star of the second game when she scored six straight points, with three aces, to break the game wide open for the Lady Broncos. “Alli had a lot of good hits,” Fite said. “She’s a very strong server.” While her two teammates controlled the outside, Fischer was a force in the middle for the Lady Broncos. She used her height to disrupt several Lady Devil attacks and got a couple of key points in the third game that was back and forth. With the score tied at 13, Fischer helped the Lady Broncos score four straight points that opened the game up enough for them to ultimately pull away for three point game, and ultimately match, victory. “She’s a freshman,” Fite said of Fischer, “so she really stepped up in that game.” While they had to withstand some Lady Devil charges, Fite was pleased with how her team was able to continually respond and simply play their game throughout. “I’m just happy that they continued to play consistent-
ly,” she said. “They talked, they kept moving their feet (and) played their game throughout the whole match.” The win improved the Lady Broncos to 5-0 (2-0 Southern Buckeye Conference) on the season. And the Lady Broncos added to their win total on Tuesday night when they beat Goshen 3-1. They won by scores of 25-16, 25-27, 25-22 and 25-22. The win improved the team to 6-0 (3-0 SBC).

Using a strong serving performance from senior Heather Bayer, the Lady Warriors easily took game one. Bayer got the ball with Eastern up 9-3 and by the time the Lady Blue Jays were able to break her serve, they found themselves down 22-4. “I think they come out and it’s very defeating to have a score like that,” Carpenter said of Eastern’s first game. “I thought they did a good job of coming back. I told them they just had to put it behind them and they had to start fresh.” And the Lady Blue Jays did come out strong in the second game. Despite that, the Lady Warriors were able to stay ahead most of the game and get the second game victory. However, in the third game the Lady Blue Jays gave Eastern all they could handle. They were neck and neck the entire game but the Lady

The Lady Rockets finally pulled away in the final game when seniors Lydia Tissandier and Kathryn Fitzpatrick delivered back to back points to end the game and the match. The duo was big at the net all night for the Lady Rockets as Tissandier led the team with 14 kills and 46 attacks while Fitzpatrick added 8 kills and 29 attacks. Sydney Sheets set up her teammates all night to the tune of a school record 36 assists.

For the first time on the season, the Lady Rockets struggled throughout the
night. “We just couldn’t seem to get in a groove,” Fayetteville coach Sharon Sheets said. “The true test of a team is how they battle back after a setback.” The Lady Rockets now sit at 4-1 (2-1) on the season. Girls Tennis Western Brown remains undefeated at halfway point of season With their 4-1 victory over Felicity on Tuesday afternoon, the Lady Broncos moved to 9-0 on the season. Last week, the Lady Broncos had a very impressive week as they defeated defending Southern Buckeye Conference American Division champ Amelia and this years conference favorite Bethel by identical 3-2 scores.

Nick McAfee, of Georgetown, pushes down the stretch at the Western Brown Invitational on Wednesday night. McAfee won the race in a time of 16:53.
It may have been chilly and it may have been raining but it would have been hard to tell by how the well the runners ran at the Western Brown Cross Country Invitational on Wednesday night. Several local teams -including all five Brown County schools -- competed at the event that looped Western Brown High School and the Mt. Orab Elementary School before finishing inside Kibler Stadium. Despite a ll the obstacles, the event went off smoothly. “Considering everything, the weather and all, it went off well,” Western Brown cross country coach Jim Neu said. Given the weather, Neu said they completely changed the course. They were originally going to have it end on the football field but with the muddy conditions outside, it was decided against that. After the junior high races completed, the high school girls k icked things off. Bethel-Tate’s Andi Lanigan set the pace the entire way and took home first place with a time of 21:12. Western Brown’s Heather Liming and Kelsa Gruber, who finished fifth with a time of 22:28 and seventh with a time of 22:49 respectively, led the Lady Broncos to a second place team finish. They finished behind champion Glen Este by five points. “It was by far the best we’ve run,” Neu said. “I’m reall y pleased with them.” Fayetteville finished fifth while Ripley came in eighth. Megan Eyre led the way for the Lady Rockets as she
crossed the finish line in 15th place with a time of 23:27. Teammate Amanda O’Donnell finished 27th with 23:57. The Lady Blue Jays were led by Samara Hawkins, who finished 23rd with a time of 24:30. Eastern and Georgetown also participated but didn’t have full girl squads. The Lady Warriors top finisher was Makayla Purdy, who finished in a time of 26:18, good for 43rd, while the Lady G-Men were paced by Karley Miller, who came in 25th with a time of 24:51. Right after the girls finished, the boys race kicked off. Much like the girls race, there was a lot of good running going on despite the weather. Georgetown’s Nick McAfee set the pace and went on to win the race pretty easily w ith a time of 16:53. “He had a really good summer,” Georgetown cross country coach Chad Sexton said. “He ran 680 miles this summer, so he is really prepared.” With the help of teammates Kyle Damen (who finished eighth with a time of 18:36), Jordan Kattine (12th, 18:58) and Jake Cropper (30th, 20:01), McAfee help lead the G-Men to a third place finish. The Western Brown boys team finished in fifth place bec ause of a strong team finish that saw Gage Perkins (who finished in 20:00), P.J. Seng, Tony Sharp, Rick Pride and Lane Day (who finished in 20:24) all finish between 29th place and 39th place. Eastern finished in seventh place. They were led by fifth place finisher Layne Pickerell, who crossed the

line in 18:28. Josh Boudreau (20:17) and Connor Patrick (20:18) finished in 37th and 38th places respectively. E ven with wet, muddy and chilly conditions, Eastern coach Tom Glasscock said his team ran well. “Everybody but Layne had personal bests today,” he said. Meanwhile, Fayetteville
wasn’t far behind as they came in ninth place. There were led by DJ Iles (19:24) and Cory Lykins (19:26), who finished in 20th and 21st place. Though they didn’t compete in the team portion, Ripley was led by Josh Mallot (25:19), who finished 88th.

Rockets battle Cincinnati Country Day before falling 4-0
CMYK
The Fayetteville boys soccer team played with Cincinnati County Day for most of the game last Tuesday night. But as the night wore on and the weather got colder and nastier, the visiting Indians, ranked No. 4 in the Division III coaches poll in the Cincinnati Enquirer, got warmer. And the Indians depth and ability wore down the Rockets as the night went on and they claimed a 4-0 victory. “We played with them, really, for the first 50 maybe even 60 minutes,” Rockets coach Craig Smucker said. “The one goal they got we made a mistake and they capitalized and we didn’t capitalize early in the game. We could have had a 2-0 lead...But they’re a good team.” For most of the first half, the
teams played relatively evenly. Each team was able to get some runs against the other but neither were able to get any shots down. Each also had a couple of really good opportunities in front of the goals that they weren’t able to cash in. The Rockets had two really good chances for goals in the first half but didn’t get either. One opportunity found the Rockets with the ball right in front of the net with a shot but the kick deflected off the top of the goal and kicked out of bounds. Meanwhile, the Indians had a couple of chances to get one in. One in particular had them with an open goal after Rockets goalkeeper Kasey Fitzpatrick went out to get a ball but wasn’t able to. He was saved by his teammate Taylor Smucker. Smucker got in front of the goal and kicked the Indians shot attempt out and kept the game scoreless, which is how

the teams stayed as they went into the break. While the Rockets were able to avoid a big mistake in the first half, they found themselves in a hole quickly in the second half because of one. Instead of sending one of their corner opportunities to the goal, the Indians dropped it off short. Though the shot they got off that play didn’t go in, the Indians were able to get a couple of players in close to the net and one kicked the rebound in to give the Indians a 1-0 lead less than five minutes i nto the half. “You just can’t make a mistake against a quality team like this,” Smucker said. “A real top five, Southwest (region) team will bury if you make a mistake.” Though the Rockets looked to be trying to get the equalizer, an unfortunate accident happened. As the Rockets were making a run towards the Indians goal, one of the CCD players tried to stop to kick the ball. As he did he twisted or cra cked something in his leg in a very serious manner. An ambulance was called to take him to the hospital. After the lengthy 15 or so minute break, the teams resumed play. It seemed as if the intensity of the game had been let out because the Rockets were never able to recover. The Indians quickly added two more goals in the next three minutes and the game was quickly out of reach. “That injury took a little air
out of the game,” Smucker said. “We didn’t need to sit around in this weather.” Though they weren’t able to pick up the win, Smucker was able to find plenty of positives about it.
“We’re never going to get better if we don’t play teams like this,” he said. “You don’t get better playing the weak teams out there. Taylor Smucker had a great game (defensively). Nick
Durham had most of a great game back there.” The loss dropped the Rockets to 3-3 (2-2 Southern Hills League) on the season.

CHRISTINE TAILER I used the large hour glass shaped pitcher to make six large cups of morning brew. I set the breakfast cereal out on the side deck table and cranked down the awning as the sun broke through the morning mist. Soon the sleepers were wakened, not by the animals, but by the heat of their tents. We sat around the table, lingering over breakfast and coffee, talking. Then they washed off their travel, marveling in the novelty of the solar heated outside shower. We walked the creek, almost dry in some places. We talked as we walked. We picked herbs and vegetables from the garden, still sharing adventures and talking. We sat on the deck and ate our meals at the large picnic table. The conversation never lagged. The stars came out at night and still we talked, and I was
thankful that there was no rain. The next day we looked through the barn, rooting through the boxes I had packed up from the city house before we sold it. I watched as they happily packed things into their cars to take to their city homes, still thankful that the rain held off. They rode tractors. They played soccer with the dog, rubbed the pigs belly, laughed at the chickens, and marveled at all the rabbits. Then we woke to the sound of Monday morning rain, a gentle pitter patter, not a down pour. After breakfast inside the cabin, snugly seated around the small table that Greg built, they filled their cars with bags of vegetables and herbs, jars of creek honey and maple syrup, and then, back seats overflowing with barn treasures and vegetables, they drove off through the gentle rain. I was right not to worry. The weather had done what it had done, and it had been a perfect weekend.

The weather called for much needed rain all weekend. I sighed. Two of our now grown children, were coming to spend three days at the farm, to introduce us to their significant others and to introduce the significant others to our way of farm life. We needed the rain. The fields were thirsty, the ground either packed tight and cracked, or dusty with loose top soil, but the young'uns would be sleeping in our guest rooms, tents pitched by the windmill shower tower. I should not bother to worry, though. The weather would simply do what it would do. They arrived late Friday night, two cars from two far away cities. Twice I heard the gravel crunch and saw the flash of headlights cross the cabin's back wall. Two sets of quick introductions and hugs as I ushered them to their fine farm accommodations. I fell back asleep, thankful that they were able to settle in without any rain. I woke just at sunrise to the rooster's call and the cackle of the chickens. The day was grey, but there was still no rain. We usually do not let the birds out of their mobile coop until after breakfast, when we do all of the animal chores. But as I thought of our sleeping city children and guests, I thought it best to get right up and let the birds out before I even made our coffee. Their cackling seemed so loud as I listened with ears tuned to my guests. I walked out to the coop. The birds got really excited and set to making quite a racket. The goats saw me from their yard, and they joined the chorus, excitedly calling for an early breakfast. And then the pig began to run in circles, snorting that she was hungry too. So much for a quiet morning, but I was thankful that it was not raining. I let the birds out. They ran down the coop's ramp and right up to the first tent. I had set it squarely in the middle of their path to the goat yard, their first scratching ground of the day. They gathered round the tent. "What have we here?" They loudly cackled their curiosity. No sounds from within. I quietly shooed them off to the goats. I tossed the goats and pig some hay to quiet them down and then returned to the cabin to make coffee.
