Hart free, to stay away from officials BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press Michael Hart is out of jail. Hart was arrested on July 21 after confronting Brown Commissioner County Ralph Jennings in the parking lot. Hart was indicted on third degree felony intimidation and third degree misdemeanor unlawful restraint charges. Hart is accused of arguing with Jennings while standing between Jennings and his car door, preventing Jennings from shutting the car door

and leaving. He was ordered held in July by Judge Alan Corbin pending a mental evaluation. At his competency hearing on Sept. 21, Corbin stated that Hart had met with mental health professionals on August 17, and that Dr. Gail Hellmann of Court Clinic Forensic Services had stated that Hart was mentally competent to stand trial. Corbin agreed, and ruled that Hart was competent to stand trial and assist in his defense. Corbin then set bail for Hart at 25 thousand dollars.

Corbin added that he had “concerns based on the findings” of the report on Hart and set certain conditions that Hart is to follow pending his trial. Among them, Hart is not to have any contact with Brown County Prosecutor Jessica Little, her staff or anyone who is entering or leaving her office. Corbin also extended that condition to Jennings and the other two Brown County Bill Commissioners, Geschwind and Margery Paeltz. Hart was also instructed to

use his attorney, George Montgomery, to contact individuals involved in any legal matters he is currently involved with. During the setting of the conditions, Corbin made it clear to Hart that he was innocent until proven guilty. As the conditions were set, Hart responded “I understand and will abide by that”. Corbin also sealed the mental evaluation of Hart from the public. Hart is scheduled to go to trail on the charges on January 12, 2011.

It is an event that never should have occurred and Ms. Hensley is responsible for the death of Jae Cho.” Hensley told police she went to Cho’s home for a private performance and fled when he touched her inappropriately. Hensley remains in the Butler County Jail. The case has made national and international headlines, with reports of the incident coming from as far away as London, England.

June of 2010, the unemployment rate in Brown County has been falling steadily since January of this year. The current rate is the lowest seen in the county since December of 2008. According to the numbers, 100 more Brown County residents found work in August. The downward trend continued in the surrounding area and the state as a whole as well. Adams County saw the jobless rate fall to 13.1 percent from 13.9, Clermont County’s rate dropped to 9.6 percent from 10.0. The last time the rate was lower than 9.6 percent in Clermont County was in May of 2009. Clinton and Highland counties both saw improvement as well, even though those two counties still rank numbers one and two respectively in the state for the highest jobless rate. Clinton County improved to a 15.6 jobless rate from 16.7 percent in July and Highland County improved to 15.0 percent from 15.7 percent. The rate for Clinton County is the best it has been since July of 2009. The Cincinnati CONTINUED ON PAGE 10

The sales tax in Brown County is going up...from 6.75 percent to seven percent. The 1/4 cent increase takes effect October 1 and is expected to add approximately fifty thousand dollars a month to the county coffers. Since the state of Ohio is typically two months behind on tax payments, the increase is expected to bring one payment to the county before the end of 2010. “It (the money) will help our carryover fund”, said County Commission President Margery Paeltz. “Right now, that fund is at about 400 thousand dollars and we need it to be closer to a million to get through the first three months of the year.” Paeltz added that the additional revenue will help make up for lower interest rates the county is receiving from investments. The carryover fund is necessary because the next large cash infusion for the county will be from the February property tax collection. Those funds are usually not dispersed until March, making it necessary for the county to carry over enough money from 2010 to operate for nearly three months.

The 159th Annual Brown County Fair, “The Little State Fair”, kicks off this Monday, Sept. 27, and runs through Saturday, Oct. 2, at the Brown County Fairgrounds in Georgetown. This year's fair whose theme is “The Brown County Fair - A Tradition Like No Other” will feature many of its past popular events including demolition derbies, truck and tractor pulls, horse shows, and Junior Fair exhibits and activities, Brown County Senior Fair Board President Orville Whalen reported. What's new this year, according to Whalen, are some physical improvements at the fairgrounds. Handicapped parking is now available in the Main Parking Lot in a gravel area next to the Admission Gate. A new Life Squad Building was under construction this past week for use by area life squads and is expected to be ready by the start of the Fair in case emergency medical technicians and paramedics need to attend to fair goers requiring medical attention. Whalen estimated in an interview following the 2009 Brown County Fair about 60,000 people attended that six-day festival. Depending on such factors as the weather, perhaps that many or more visitors will attend this year's celebration to take in its many sights, sounds and tastes. The fair will run 8 a.m.-11 p.m. each day.

Kristina Hensley of Higginsport is facing two counts of murder. Butler County Prosecutor Robin Piper announced that Hensley also faces charges of Aggravated Robbery, Failure to Stop After an Accident and Theft. Hensley reportedly worked for a company called “Naughty Bodies” which provides private “adult shows” from strippers. A press release from Piper’s office said “In the early morning hours of August 7, 2010, Hensley, a 35-year old woman from Higginsport, Ohio, was the driver of a vehicle which struck Monroe resident Jae Cho in front of his home. Cho was trapped under the vehicle and dragged for over a mile until Hensley came to a stop at a gas station. Cho suffered severe trauma and was pronounced dead at the scene. Hensley faces 15 to life on the Murder charges, 10 years for Aggravated Robbery, 5 years for Failure to Stop After Accident and 12 months on the Theft offense. The Theft offense pertains to a second victim, involving a different incident, which was uncovered during the police department’s investigation. The two counts of murder involve the same victim, Jae Cho, however, they are “felony murder” charges, each being premised on a different felony - one alleges the

Batavia man, woman each indicted on 10 burglary counts

B R O A D S H E E T www.browncountypress.com

A Brown County grand jury has indicted a Batavia couple on 10 second-degree felony burglary counts in connection with a string of Brown County burglaries they allegedly committed this past July and August. Gerald E. Sarver, 35, and Laverne Sarver, 29, also each were indicted on one felony attempt (burglary) count, seven felony theft counts and two misdemeanor counts of endangering children. Brown County Sheriff Dwayne Wenninger reported the Sarvers were arrested following Brown County Sheriff's deputies' response this past Aug. 23 to a call of a burglary in progress on Harker-Waits Road near Mt. Orab. Wenninger stated the victim of the attempted burglary was home at the time and called in a description of the suspects and the vehicle they were driving. The sheriff reported deputies located the suspects' vehicle upon searching the area and took two subjects into custody. He also reported Gerald Sarver and Laverne Sarver as being arrested. According to Wenninger, the suspects had items in their vehicle from a previous burglary they allegedly had committed on Eastwood Road in the Mt. Orab area. The suspects also reportedly had their two children, ages 4 and 5, with them while they were committing their alleged crimes. According to the sheriff, detectives conducting the investigation obtained confessions from both suspects, who also reportedly cooperated with the investigation by showing them other houses they had burglarized. The suspects also were reported to have agreed to cooperate with Clermont County authorities regarding crimes they allegedly had committed there. Wenninger stated the only items recovered from the Sarvers' alleged burglaries

were those taken from the Eastwood Road burglary. He reported the suspects had stolen jewelry and cash from residences, and the jewelry was taken to various pawn shops in the Greater Cincinnati Area. The dates of the 10 incidents for which each suspects were indicted for seconddegree burglary were between July 11 and 17; on or about July 27; on or about July 28; on or about Aug. 7; on or about Aug. 10; between Aug. 10 and 11; on or about Aug. 12; on or about Aug. 16; and on or about Aug. 23 (the date for two alleged burglaries). The indictment identified the names of the 10 alleged victims as well. The two were also were charged with one count of grand theft, a fourth-degree felony, for allegedly depriving one victim on or about Aug. 12 of personal property worth between $5,000 and $100,000. They each also were charged with three counts of theft from an elderly person or disabled adult, two of which are fourth-degree felonies and one of which is a fifth-degree felony. The Sarvers also were indicted on three fifth-degree theft counts in connection with the alleged burglaries that occurred between July 11 and 17 and on or about Aug. 16 and one of the two alleged burglaries on Aug. 23. The Sarvers also were charged with two counts each of endangering children, a first-degree misdemeanor. The Sarvers allegedly on or about Aug. 23 violated a duty

of care, protection, or support for those two children or created a substantial risk to their health or safety. A pretrial hearing for Laverne Sarver on her counts has been set for noon Friday, Oct. 8, in Brown County Common Pleas Court in Georgetown. A pretrial hearing for Gerald E. Sarver on his counts has been set for 8:30 a.m. Thursday, Oct. 14, in Brown County Common Pleas Court. The two suspects were still lodged in the Brown County Adult Detention Center in Georgetown the evening of Sept. 21. Bond for each was set at $100,000 or 10 percent cash. An indictment means a grand jury found that enough evidence exists that an accused person likely committed the crime(s) with which he or she is charged. An indictment by itself, however, does not mean the person is guilty of a specific crime or crimes or that he or she actually committed a specific crime or crimes.

Walk For Life raises about $2,400 for Brown Co. PRC An estimated 40 to 50 people participated in the Pregnancy Resource Center of Brown County's 17th Annual Walk For Life Sept. 18 in Mt. Orab. The event raised about $2,400 for PRC, whose main office is in Georgetown with a second office open one day per week in Mt. Orab. Participants walked along a route of about 2 miles in Mt. Orab. They departed St. Michael's Catholic Church on South High Street and headed northward on that street and returned the same route, and money was raised through pledges from supporters. PRC Executive Director Tamma Plymesser called this year's effort a success in a Sept. 21 telephone interview. “Every time a donation is made for the Center, it is a success,” Plymesser noted. She said the smaller number of walkers and donations this year “seems to be a sign of the economy”. PRC's mission includes the providing of education and services to people struggling with issues arising out of unplanned pregnancies. In some cases PRC workers strive to persuade pregnant women who are considering abortions to continue with their pregnancies and give birth to their babies. PRC also provides baby care supplies to some new mothers in need. Before the 2010 Walk For Life commenced, a short devotional and prayer program was held at St. Michael's Church Fellowship Hall. The Rev. John Bender, chairman of the PRC Board of Directors, talked about how God in both the Old Testament and the New Testament is described as the creator of all, the sustainer of all, and a God who gives strength to the weak and weary. “When men try to act in

their own strength and not seek the strength of God, they stumble and fall,” Bender said. In a prayer he offered, Bender acknowledged God as “the only one who can produce life and say when life can end” and mentioned how 50 million babies killed through abortion in the United States (since the United States Supreme Court's Roe vs. Wade decision of 1973) were not allowed to be born and carry out the will God had for their lives. The minister also prayed that people would realize only God could get them through the hard times everyone is experiencing today. Following this year's Walk For Life, a few participants commented about why they walked. Linda Mulvaney of Lake simply said, Waynoka “Because I believe in life.” David Sharp of Sterling Township said he supports the pro-life statement that abortion is wrong. “It's killing children.” Ron Dvorachek of Georgetown said he is very much a supporter of Brown County PRC and the pro-life message is totally in life with his theology. Dvorachek said he doesn't believe there truly is a constitutional right to abortion and added he thinks America's “grassroots” really is pro-life. One of the younger marchers, Sara Morris, 16, of Sardinia, said she walked because she is against abortion and thinks it's wrong. “I think all children deserve to live.” Awards were presented at the Fellowship Hall for the biggest Walk For Life fundraisers in specific categories and for some poster winners listed by category. Fund-raising winners included: Youths Kindergarten to Sixth-Grade: Brett Bellamy, first; Brianna Bellamy, sec-

ond. Youths Seventh-12th Grades: Morris, first. Adult Male: Sharp, first; Bender, second. Female: Kay Adult Davenport, first; Geri Cahall, second.

Poster winners included: Youths K-6th: Brett Bellamy and Brianna Bellamy, tied for first. Youths 7th-12th: Shlayna Conover and Jessica Brunk (who did a poster together). Adult: Sharon Wilson.

Plymesser said she expects another Walk For Life to be held in 2011. PRC's main office is at Suite B, 852 Mt. Orab Pike, Georgetown. Its normal hours are 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Mondays and Thursdays, 10 a.m.-8 p.m. Tuesdays, and 2-6 p.m.

Wednesdays and may be reached by calling (937) 3786853. PRC also has an office open 2-6 p.m. Wednesdays at Mt. Orab Church of Christ, 400 Smith Ave., Mt. Orab. That office may be reached by calling (937) 444-2721.

Strengthening Ohio’s rural communities Half of Ohio is farmland, where our farmers not only provide feed for farms, but also put food on tables and fill the tanks of cars and trucks around the world. A quarter of Ohioans live in rural areas, where raw materials are harvested to make everything from air craft engines to clay pots and pans. Throughout our history, small towns like Portsmouth, my hometown of Mansfield, and rural communities like Athens and New Philadelphia have been keys to our state’s economic prosperity. Yet for far too long, Ohio’s small towns and rural communities have been overlooked. Along the highways and back roads where trucks transport our goods and products, millions of Ohioans live miles away from workplaces, schools, and hospitals. We cannot strengthen Ohio’s economy without strengthening our rural communities and small towns. This month, I’ve been traveling across our state on a “Made in Ohio Tour,” meeting with Ohioans who are rebuilding our hometowns, small businesses, and family farms to become, once again, the engine of our national economic success. Last week, I was at Hocking College Energy Institute meeting with students who are taking courses in advanced hybrid energy technology. They’re preparing for the jobs that will drive the 21st century economy. In that roundtable, local college professors, students, and community leaders told me about the work they’re doing to position Ohio as a national hub for clean energy manufacturing. In Athens, I was honored to meet a 24-year-old volunteer firefighter named Eric from Meigs

SHERROD BROWN County who enrolled in Hocking College’s Energy Institute because he felt a clean energy job would be the best bet for a job in the future. He also wanted to stay in his small hometown and make a living through a homegrown job. William, a paper mill worker from Logan County, was recently laid off because unfair trade practices closed the doors of the mill. He received trade adjustment assistance, which is provided to workers who lose their jobs because of unfair trade, to go back to school. He’s training for clean energy jobs because he wants a job that will not be shipped overseas and where he can make a difference – for his small town community and for our nation. At roundtable discussions in places like Logan, and at Barium & Chemicals in Steubenville and at the Corporation for Ohio Appalachian Development Annual Convention in Marietta, mayors, city planners, and representatives from Appalachian development agencies discussed how to connect their small towns and rural communities with critical public and private economic development resources. Here’s what I’ve heard during the tour: one way Ohioans are hard at work increasing rural economic competiveness and our public health programs is by investing in

rural broadband. Access to broadband will modernize the way small communities work, promoting job creation, expanding markets, and stimulating the economy in rural Ohio. Broadband bridges the digital gap that too often disadvantages rural Ohio – undermining business development and compromising timely access to basic public services like fire, police, and health care. Just this month, the U.S. Departments of Agriculture and Commerce announced that Ohio’s Middle Mile Consortium (OMMC), a public-private statewide partnership, will receive more than $141 million in funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act for broadband expansion. This includes more than $66 million to fund the Connecting Appalachia Broadband Plan which expands broadband into 34 Ohio Appalachian and rural counties. These funds will not only secure expanded broadband access, they are projected to create more than 500 jobs and spur economic development in traditionally underserved areas throughout the region. Next week during a roundtable with dairy farmers and processors and other agriculture leaders in Wooster, we’ll discuss how agriculture remains Ohio’s number one industry, contributing nearly $80 billion to our economy each year and supporting one out of every six Ohio jobs. And as they harness investment in heritage tourism and strengthen the local food movement, our farmers, entrepreneurs, and educators are also preparing our rural workforce for new opportunities in the clean energy economy that Ohio is poised to lead.

Broadband access is part of that equation. We can also strengthen rural Ohio’s economy by modernizing its aging water infrastructure. Because of cost and difficult maintenance, rural water systems are more than twice as likely to violate drinking water standards compared to their urban counterparts. It can cost up to four times more for smaller communities to maintain and update their wastewater systems, a particularly daunting challenge in this difficult budget environment. Our small towns and villages are making strides to meet safe drinking water standards, but we can do more. All Ohioans deserve access to clean water, but too many communities are struggling to afford costly, but necessary, upgrades to sewer systems. That’s why Senator Voinovich and I wrote the Clean Water Affordability Act last year to update the EPA clean water affordability policy to provide for a full and accurate representation of the financial impacts clean water investment programs place on communities struggling to meet federal regulations for improving water infrastructure. As public servants and workers like Eric and William explained, and as our small town mayors and Appalachian leaders know, strong rural communities are essential to Ohio’s economic prosperity and serve as a barometer for our economy’s health. By expanding the role of the rural workforce in the clean energy economy and investing in water and broadband infrastructure, Ohio small towns and rural communities can and will play a pivotal role in our state’s economic recovery.

The 23rd annual Brown County Veterans Recognition night will be held at the Brown County Fairgrounds Thursday, Sept. 30. All veterans, veteran organizations, current military personnel and Brown County’s two Jr. R.O.T.C. detachments are cordially invited to participate in this year’s event.

Reader says take care of your heart Dear Editor, Sept. 26 is World Heart Day – a day to recognize the importance of keeping your heart healthy. But what do you do if your heart feels broken? For some people who have lost a family member or close friend, the sensation of a broken heart isn’t their imagination. It’s called broken heart syndrome, and it’s caused by a rush of stress hormones and it feels like a heart attack. For others, feelings of depression and hopelessness as they’re grieving can actually increase the risk of heart attacks and heart disease, according to a study done by John Hopkins

Hospital. As World Heart Day approaches, it’s a good time to take simple steps to take care of your heart. Working through the grief process can be as hard on your body as it is on your spirit. The wise advice about paying attention to what you eat and maintaining some form of moderate exercise is especially important now. In all cases, what’s healthy for your heart is also healthy for your mind. Mike Strick Bereavement Coordinator Crossroads Hospice, Cincinnati

The students, school faculty members and other employees, and several invited guests participated in the Constitution/Citizenship Day assembly in the RULH Middle School Gymnasium. Principal Michael Kennedy began the program by commenting, “We are here to celebrate what it means to be a citizen in this great country of ours.” The principal said the program aimed to show the students how to participate in their communities in a positive way and added, “I am proud of the students at RULH Middle School.” He urged all the students to do what they can to make their communities better. seventh-graders Seven then led their listeners in the Pledge of Allegiance to the American Flag after a Color Guard had brought that Flag and also the U.S. Marine Corps Flag forward. The Color Guard was from the U.S. Marine Corps-affiliated Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps Program at RULH High School in Ripley, whose cadets all attended the assembly. Lt. Col. Rick Klinker, their senior Marine instructor, talked briefly about the Pledge of Allegiance's history and how the words “the Flag of the United States of America” were added in 1923 and “under God” were added in 1954. He mentioned proper Pledge of Allegiance etiquette is to stand facing the American Flag with one's right hand over his or her heart. Teacher Phil Ashcraft then recognized more than two dozen honored guests who were attending from all over the RULH District and outside there as well. Ashcraft told his listeners it was important people learn what rights they have under the U.S. Constitution and mentioned how there have been too many other times when some people want to take out of the Constitution sections they don't like.

RULH Middle observes Constitution/Citizenship Day

The Brown County Press/WAYNE BOBLITT

Ripley-Union-Lewis-Huntington Middle School seventh-grade representatives lead the Pledge of Allegiance to the American Flag as a Color Guard, right, from the RULH High School Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps displays the American Flag and the U.S. Marine Corps Flag during the Constitution/Citizenship Day assembly Sept. 17 in the RULH Middle School Gymnasium.

“Know your Constitution,” Ashcraft urged. “Remember it applies to everyone.” Several fifth-graders from Kathy Harding's class talked briefly about their thoughts on freedom and asked different faculty members to stand during their talks. RULH Middle School art teacher James Gilkison then played the piano and sang Elton John's “United We Stand, Divided We Fall” and Toby Keith's “American Soldier”. Several fifth-graders, with no prompting from adults, began waving the small U.S. flags they had been presented at the start of the assembly while they listened to “American Soldier”. Michele Steinman's eighth-graders stood where they were located in the bleachers and recited the U.S. Constitution's Preamble. In what undoubtedly was

one of the most humorous moments during the assembly, seven eighth-graders rode makeshift “horses” out to a table as if they were riding horses to a meeting during the American Revolutionary War era, and they read the Bill of Rights, the first 10 amendments to the U.S. Constitution. The RULH Middle School choir and band, directed by Michele VanSickle, sang and played the well-known patriotic song “America”. Kokensparger then talked about the playing of “Taps” on a bugle as the final salute to a fallen veteran. He also said military personnel saluted a fallen comrade not with a firing squad but with a firing detail that discharged three volleys from their guns. VanSickle and teacher Holli Cain then played “Taps” as those at the assembly stood in respect, and a

Moment of Silence followed to conclude the special program.

Mt. Orab man sentenced to 10 years for felonious assault BY Wayne Boblitt The Brown County Press A Mt. Orab man has been sentenced to 10 years in prison after pleading guilty Sept. 14 in Brown County Common Pleas Court to felonious assault on a police officer with a firearm specification. John H. Pringle, 55, also pleaded guilty to a seconddegree misdemeanor count of domestic violence. Seven felony counts involving a firearm specification were dismissed as part of Pringle's plea. In a press release issued April 28, Brown County Sheriff Dwayne Wenninger reported the Brown County Sheriff's Office had been dispatched to 15282 Bodman Road, Mt. Orab, to a domestic violence call involving a weapon. A BCSO deputy arrived at 8:13 p.m. at that residence with a Mt. Orab police officer as a backup. Upon their arrival, Pringle reportedly shot at both officers with a 12-gauge semiautomatic shotgun with discharged pellets hitting both their cruisers. Neither officer was injured. According to Wenninger, Pringle and his wife had been having a verbal argument, and

he came back into a room with a shotgun. The wife then fled to her mother's room, which was occupied by her mother and a male subject. They heard a gunshot, according to the sheriff, and Pringle entered the mother's room shortly afterward with the gun. The other male subject reportedly grabbed the suspect and held him down until deputies took him into custody. Deputies reportedly found one round had been discharged through the living room window facing the driveway, evidentially from where he had shot at the police officers. Another round had been discharged in a bedroom and had gone completely through the wall. Pringle was transported to the Brown County Adult Detention Center in Georgetown. He pleaded guilty earlier this month to the second of his 10 counts, felonious assault with a firearm specification, which stated Pringle on or about this past Aug. 26 knowingly caused or attempted to cause physical harm to BCSO Deputy Jerry Crawford by means of a shotgun. Brown County Common Pleas Court Judge Scott Gusweiler sentenced Pringle

to seven years in prison on the felonious assault count to which he had pleaded guilty plus added three mandatory consecutive years for the firearms specification making Pringle's total prison term 10 years. He also sentenced Pringle to 90 days in jail on the domestic violence count with that sentence to be served concurrently with the 10years sentence. Gusweiler also fined Pringle $20,000 on the felonious assault count and $750 on the domestic violence count and ordered him also to pay court costs plus a $250 public defender's fee.

Helping you age better What is the AAA7?? AAA7. You may have seen this acronym or perhaps have heard about it, but what exactly does it stand for? What does it mean? Although one version of the acronym “AAA” covers automobiles and traveling, the AAA7 stands for the Area Agency on Aging District 7, a non-profit corporation designated by the State of Ohio to be the planning, coordinating and administrative agency for federal and state programs in Adams, Brown, Gallia, Highland, Jackson, Lawrence, Pike, Ross, Scioto and Vinton counties in Ohio. The programs coordinated by the AAA7 are available to help older adults and those with disabilities live safely and independently in their own homes through services paid for by Medicare, Veterans Medicaid, Administration, other federal and state resources, as well as private pay. These services include, but are not limited to: information, referral and assistance; personal care and homemaking; respite care; adult day care; assisted living; caregiver support; case management; home repair; transportation; home-delivered meals; community-center meal programs; legal assistance; and linkage to community services. In short, the AAA7 provides services that enable older adults and individuals with disabilities to remain in the one place their

call their own…home. Choice – Independence – Quality. The AAA7 strives each day to make this available to those individuals in our district who need our assistance. In order to support this, our Agency’s slogan, “Helping You Age Better”, was developed to promote positivity and assistance as a part of the aging process. Aging is experienced by everyone, but no one should go through it alone or without assistance. Each and every one of us deserves to experience choice, independence and quality, and the AAA7 is here to provide this to seniors and those with disabilities in our district. Individuals who feel they could benefit, or know of someone who could benefit from the services the AAA7 provides are encouraged to call our toll-free number at 1800-582-7277 (TTY 1-888270-1550). You will have the opportunity to speak directly with a nurse or social worker who will assist you with information surrounding the programs and services that are available to best serve your needs. Our caring and competent staff works side-byside with older adults and their families to arrange longterm care consultations, inhome services and a number of other programs that promote safe and independent living at home. Let us help you “age better.”

WHO’S TIME? John 11:5: “Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.” This verse is speaking of Martha and her sister Mary and their brother Lazarus. Now ladies and gentlemen, Jesus felt brotherly love toward this family. They were close friends. In John 11:11 when Jesus is speaking He said: “Our friend Lazarus sleepeth...” The Bible tells us in Proverbs 18:24: “A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.” Martha, Mary, and Lazarus had a friend that sticketh closer than a brother. That friend was Jesus. Now these three are clearly mentioned in this chapter as being the focus of the love of our Saviour. He had stopped at their house on different occasions. As we know, Mary and Martha were as different as night and day; just as a lot of siblings are. And that is good because God needs people with different personalities and different talents. If everybody in the church were carpenters the only thing that would be done is carpentry. But leaving that let’s look at one of the differences between Mary and Martha. Look with me in Luke chapter 10 beginning in verse 38. “Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house. And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus’ feet, and heard his word. But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me.” In these verses you can begin to see just how different these sisters were. Verse 41: “And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.” Jesus was saying: Martha you are doing a great job; Martha you are cumbered about many things; but Martha there is one thing which is absolutely necessary. There are some things which you can get along without and some things that you can not. Martha, the thing which Mary has chosen is that very necessary thing. Martha was doing a little bit of complaining and apparently she felt like she had a legitimate complaint. She told Jesus that her sister was just setting there listening to His words while she was doing all the work. She

DR. CHARLES SMITH MT. ORAB BIBLE BAPTIST CHURCH www.bbcmtorab.com said to tell her to come and help. She was probably wanting everything to be just so for her friend Jesus and was getting a little frustrated because she had so much to do. But Jesus said: Martha, Martha, you have to take time in your life to be holy. I have been knocking on doors since 1953 and I have met so many people in so many homes that have said to me: Preacher, I do not have time to go to church. I work six days a week and Sunday is my only day. The Bible says: “Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work...” He said no work on His day! In the Old Testament they served God on the last day of the week. In the New Testament we are to serve God on the first day of the week. After that the rest is yours. It is still six to one no matter how you slice it. When people say that it is their only day, what they are doing is claiming God’s day for their own. If they want to steal God’s day that is up to them. But let me tell you something; when they meet God, and they will, they will find out who is right about this business of doing their work on their own time, not God’s! And furthermore, I will not be ashamed to stand there when they ask Him! In Malachi 3:8 it states: “Will a man rob God? yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings. Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me...” You might say that that is talking about tithes, and it is, but you can also steal His time. When you are supposed to be working for your employer, but instead you are goofing off, you are stealing his time which he is paying you for! When God says it is His day and you use it for yourself, you are stealing His time. It is absolutely necessary to take time to be holy. Martha was so busy that she had forgotten that; have you?

Former SES now houses social services business While the former Sardinia Elementary School building on College Avenue in Sardinia may not house public school classes any longer, it isn't empty. The public is invited to view the business now located in the former SES and also see space available to house other businesses during an Open House planned 5-7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 8. The former school is now home to G & D Alternative Living Inc., a social services business. The Eastern Local School District Board of Education voted on May 10 to sell the old SES Building to G & D for $112,000. G & D owners Gordon and Diana Fitzpatrick moved their business office to the new school from 121 Charles St. in Sardinia and its day programs for developmentally disabled adults from a Williamsburg building that encompasses about 3,000 square feet. Former SES Has New Name Gordon Fitzpatrick said the former SES has been renamed the Chad D. Heckler Building in honor of his wife's son who died from a brain tumor at age 16. With approximately 43,000 square feet, it has vastly more room to serve its 35 or so clients than the former Williamsburg location had

offered. Fitzpatrick noted each former SES classroom by itself has 900 to 1,000 square feet to serve G & D clients. The former SES has so much room, in fact, Fitzpatrick said he is seeking some businesses or offices who would like to rent space in sections of the building G & D is not using. He said any businesses or offices who rent space can be partitioned off from G & D. G & D Director of Operations Keith Crothers said that social services business opened in its new location on Sept. 7. The business has five staff members serving G & D clients in addition to Crothers and the Fitzpatricks, who oversee all its operations. Crothers said he has worked in the developmentally disabled field about 22 years and with the Fitzpatricks the last five years. He said G & D aims to teach its clients such skills as writing their names, addresses, and phone numbers and computer usage. Fitzpatrick, who said he has been working at his business since 1979, also mentioned it operates seven group homes in Brown County and an eighth such home in Clermont County. Facilities May Be Rented Crothers said the large gymnasium as well as some other portions of the Chad D.

James Robert Connor, who some people referred to as “Groundhog”, was involved individually or with others making improvements at the fairgrounds during the past 13 years including work on constructing the 4-H Horse Show Tower and Fence, the new 4H Horse Barn and stalls, and portable ticket booths, to name only some improvements. Mr. Connor also was a big promoter of the Fair's Junior Fair activities and had served as treasurer of the Brown County Pork Producers, an organization with which Mrs. Connor also is involved.

also being held on an outstanding warrant for a theft charge. The State Highway Patrol received anonymous tips which led them to Reese's residence on Colthar Road in Brown County where Reese was located along with a white 1999 Pontiac Montana minivan, which troopers say she was operating at the time of the crash. According to the highway patrol, James Trammell, 66, of Inez Avenue, Bethel was westbound on state Route 125 just east of Bethel between Bethel-Tate High School and St. Mary's Church at about 8:14 p.m. when he was struck from behind and ejected from his Schwinn bicycle. The Clermont County Coroner declared Trammell dead at the scene and he was

transported to the Hamilton County Morgue. Evidence at the scene led investigators to search for a white vehicle. According to the state highway patrol Trammell was wearing dark clothing and had no reflectors or lights on his bicycle. A drug screen for Trammell has been ordered but not yet completed. State law requires all cyclists riding after dark to have flashing lights on the front and rear of their vehicle. Reese had also been charged with operating a vehicle without a license in Union Township in 2004 however the charge was dismissed when she pleaded guilty to failure to stay within marked lanes. The crash remains under investigation and Reese could face additional charges.

Sales tax in Brown County to increase on October 1st CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 two months behind in sales tax reimbursements, that means that Brown County can expect three, possibly four, payments before local property taxes arrive in March. Over four payments, the additional tax revenue will be approximately two hundred thousand dollars. The increase marks the end of a process that began eleven months ago, when county commissioners first approved the increase on October 28, 2009. Commissioners Ralph Jennings and Bill Geschwind voted for the increase and Commissioner Margery Paeltz voted against it. The tax was originally intended to go into effect on January 1, 2010, raising an additional five to six hundred thousand dollars throughout

the year. That schedule changed when a petition drive to put the tax increase on the ballot was successful. State law requires that any tax increases subject to a pending vote be suspended pending the outcome, so the increase was not put into place. Brown County voters narrowly upheld the increase on May 4, allowing it to take effect...but state law intervened again. A 65 day waiting period is required before any new taxes can be collected. That pushed the date to July 8...however the state also requires that collections begin on the first day of a quarter. Since the timeline missed the beginning of the third quarter, July 1, by a week, that pushed the collection date to October 1.

Mt. Orab Library begins new club

The Taliaferro Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution met on Sept. 11, 2010 at the Parkview Country Inn in Augusta, Ky. After a delicious buffet luncheon, Jessie Little introduced our guest Retired Marine Col. Danny Bubp. The members had an enjoyable informal discussion with Col Bubp. Our regent, Margaret Pollard opened the business meeting and led us in the DAR Ritual and the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag. Merry Ann Wright is NADAR’s new General. Her President administration’s theme is “Preserve the Past, Enhance the Present, Invest in the Future”. She reminds us in her message to celebrate Constitution Week starting Sep 17th and remember and teach that those who wrote the Constitution believed that no government can create freedom, but that government must guard freedom rather than encroaching upon the freedoms of its people. A nation’s people can remain free only by being responsible citizens who are willing to learn about the rights of each arm of government and require that each is accountable for its own function.

Have your hostas hijacked your garden? Is your yard overrun by daylilies? Would you like to divide your perennials before next spring but don’t have any more room in your yard or garden to relocate them? Chatfield College has a solution! The college has recently re-designed several areas throughout the campus, and is looking for perennials to help landscape these new, green territories. “We have re-claimed some former driveways and turned them into pedestrian walkways” explained Chuck Gray, Chatfield’s Physical Plant Manager. “Several new adjacent flower beds are tilled, mulched and ready for plant-

ing. When completed, this will surely be a popular place for students and instructors to mingle and relax.” Anyone wishing to divide and donate perennials to Chatfield can bring them to the campus on Saturday, Oct. 16 from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. during the college’s first ever Homecoming Celebration. The all-day event will include a welcome reception, a procession to the Ursuline Cemetery, a student variety show, a student and faculty art show, cornhole and tennis tournaments, a Catholic Mass in the Sacred Heart Chapel, and food and entertainment. All Homecoming activities are free and open to the community.

SSCC library uses technology to reach out to high schools

In today's tough economic climate, it's difficult for schools to fund travel for students. But technology can bridge that gap between high schools and higher education. Louis Mays, librarian at Southern State Community College, has been using technology to reach out to local high school students participating in the college's dual enrollment option which allows them to earn college credit while still in high school. Such students taking English composition at Zane Trace High School in Ross County communicate regularly with Louis using a virtual chat, conference and video platform known as Pronto from the software company Wimba. "It's wonderful to know that the students taking part in the Southern State program will be able to access college and library resources without leaving the confines of their own school," said Laurel Marion, media specialist at Zane Trace. "Louis is able to guide our students through Southern State and OhioLINK research databases. Individual guidance, through 'Ask a Librarian,' is also offered through email and Pronto chat. Our high school students have valuable exposure to the technology unlike most incoming college freshmen. This will allow them a successful transition into college."

A collaboration between Southern State Community College, Shawnee State University, and college-bound seniors at Manchester High School in Adams County, is also provided virtually using Wimba Classroom. The Manchester students have been provided instruction on college-level research and using the INFOhio project calculator. "When I first approached college librarians in our area, my goal was to find one important piece of information, that is, to find out what college librarians want students from my library to already know when they arrive at the college library," said Ted Gifford, school librarian for Manchester H.S. "After consulting Louis at Southern State, it became apparent that rather than taking students to the college library or having him visit our school in person, the ideal way to have him and other college officials talk to my students was by using Wimba, a web-based virtual classroom platform provided by Southern State," he said. "This was a big hit with the students, who were actively engaged in the conversations with the presenters and were excited by the idea that we were in Manchester, one presenter was working from home, and one presenter was at a high school in Cleveland. It was quite exciting to see their reactions," Gifford concluded.

Following an eTech Conference presentation that demonstrated an example of collaboration between the schools using this technology, Dawson Little, a senior at Manchester, was especially moved by the experience. "That was great!" he said. "Hard to believe that people in three places can get together on the Internet like that. When are we doing this again?" Information about preparing Ohio learners for success as they transition to college can be found at this INFOhio i t e : s www.infohio.org/PreparingO hioLearners.html. INFOhio is a network supporting school

libraries in Ohio. "As more colleges are teaching dual enrollment courses on the home school site, this example of using technology to bridge the gap between college-level and high school classes will help these high school students make a smoother transition to college," said Mays. "We are collaborating through technology with other schools in our area as well." For more information about transitioning to college, or collaboration between K12 and higher education, contact Mays at (937) 695-0307, ext. 3580, or drop him a line at lmays@sscc.edu.

Broncos drop Southern Buckeye opener to Lions drive at the Broncos’ 46. The Lions marched 46 yards in nine plays, scoring a touchdown when Nick Hill took a pitch right and ran five yards. Zach Ritter made the PAT, giving New Richmond a 7-0 lead with 6:52 left in the first frame. The Bronco defense looked to have the Lions stopped after three plays, but an offsides against Western on fourth-and-3 kept the drive alive for New Richmond. Western wasted no time in responding with a score of its own. After Kendal Klinginsmith recovered a pooch kick by the Lions, the Broncos began their scoring drive on their own 44 yard line. The big play came when

The Western Broncos dropped their Southern Buckeye Conference opener to the New Richmond Lions last Friday, falling by a score of 34-21. “We improved this week and played hard enough to win,” said Western coach Evan Dreyer. “If you take away penalties, an interception and the fake punt, we are right there.” The Broncos took the opening kickoff and promptly went three-and-out, punting the ball to the Lions. After a short return, New Richmond started its first

Western’s Jake Bering makes a tackle for a loss during the Broncos’ loss to New Richmond.

Nick Woodyard hit Gunner Woodyard with a 21-yard gain, moving the ball to the New Richmond 25. After a roughing the passer call against the Lions moved the ball to the 10 yard line, Woodyard found Brad Rhodes in the corner of the end zone with a 10-yard strike. Rhodes made the PAT, tying the score at 7-7 with 5:36 left in the first. The Lions’ next possession ended with an interception by Klinginsmith, setting up a short field for the Broncos at New Richmond’s 29. The drive stalled, resulting in a turnover on downs for the Broncos. New Richmond embarked on an 18-play drive that ate eight minutes and 39 seconds off the clock. This time the Lions punched it in from fiveyards away when Hill scored on a pitch left. Ritter nailed the PAT, putting the Lions on top 14-7 with 5:40 left in the half. Western’s next try ended when Nick Woodyard was picked off by Hill on a shot down field, giving the ball back to the Lions at their own 21 yard line. New Richmond coughed it up to the Broncos when quarterback Garrett Myers fumbled. The ball was recovered by Western’s Justin Dillinger at the Lions’ 40 yard line. The Broncos quickly capitalized, scoring four plays later when Nick Woodyard found Gunner Woodyard with a 25-yard touchdown pass. Rhodes split the uprights with his PAT, tying the count at 14-

14 with 1:07 left in the half. The Lions got a nice return from Hill on the ensuing kickoff as he sprinted 45 yards to Western’s 25 yard line. A muffed pitch and an incomplete pass ended the drive and the half. The two SBC rivals went to the locker rooms tied at 14-14. New Richmond took the second-half kickoff and began a drive at its own 45. Six plays from scrimmage later, Hill went 11 yards for his third touchdown of the night. Ritter added the PAT, giving the Lions a 21-14 lead with 8:48 remaining in the third. Gunner Woodyard returned the kickoff 19 yards and the Broncos looked poised to strike back. But after a 28yard pass from Nick Woodyard to Jake Lawson was called back, the Western quarterback fumbled on the next play. New Richmond recovered at the Broncos’ 18 yard line. The Lions twice fumbled on their possession, but twice they recovered. Myers hit Nick Williams with a six-yard touchdown pass on third-andgoal. Ritter made the extra point, giving New Richmond a 28-14 edge with 5:35 left in the third quarter. The Broncos benefitted from a personal foul call against the Lions on the kickoff, starting their drive at their own 35. Nine plays later, Nick Woodyard connected with Rhodes for a 27-yard touchdown. Rhodes made the PAT, pulling the Broncos to within seven, at 28-21, with 3:41 left in the third.

The next two New Richmond drives ended with turnovers on downs, as did one possession for the Broncos. With 5:35 left in the game, Western had good field position, starting at its own 40. After a hook-and-ladder play and a 5-yard pass to Gunner Woodyard moved the ball into Lion territory, Nick Woodyard’s was intercepted and returned to the Broncos’ five yard line. Three plays later, Myers kept it for a seven-yard touchdown run. A bad snap foiled the PAT, but the Lions grabbed a 34-21 advantage with 3:29 remaining. Western put together three nice pass plays, moving the ball to the New Richmond 24. But Nick Woodyard was picked off near the goal line

with 56 ticks remaining, sealing the Broncos’ fate. New Richmond ran two sneaks and then kneeled on the ball, preserving the 34-21 win. “Our defense played hard tonight and forced some mistakes,” said Dreyer. “But we missed some assignments and some opportunities. We will get better before next week.” Nick Woodyard finished with 22 completions good for 187 yards. He also ran 11 times for 33 yards. Rhodes led the receivers with eight catches and 80 yards. Jake Banfil added six catches for 50 yards. The Broncos allowed 256 yards rushing and 57 yards passing on the night. The loss drops the Broncos to 1-3 overall, 0-1 in SBC play.

The Fayetteville Lady Rockets downed the Lynchburg Lady Mustangs in the annual “Volley for the

Cure” match held last week at Fayetteville High School. “At various times our defense collapsed,” said Fayetteville coach Sharon Sheets. “We had to regroup and remind the girls to stay

low and play hard. That’s what they did.” The Lady Rockets were on their game early. Fayetteville combined a strong service game with some nice hitting at the net, disposing of the Lady

Mustangs in game one by a score of 25-14. Kathryn Fitzpatrick and Gabby Valentine led the Lady Rockets from behind the service line. Fitzpatrick made good on four-straight points and Valentine served the final five points of the game. Game two saw the Southern Hills League rivals go backand-forth throughout. The game saw 10 ties and seven lead changes. Tied at 9-9, it looked as though the Lady Rockets might push ahead when Valentine served three consecutive aces. But after a brief timeout, Lynchburg came back and tied the count at 14-14. The final tie of the game came at 24-24, but Lynchburg claimed the final two points, getting the 26-24 win and knotting the match score at 11. Lydia Tissandier and Shelby Sheets went to work in game three, smashing several kills and leading the Lady Rockets to a 25-16 victory. “It was a terrific night for hitting,” said Sheets. “Our defense got focused and made many great passes to Emily

(Stahl), who made some wonderful sets.” In the final game of the match, strong serves were the story once again. Fitzpatrick had three aces in the game. Valentine added two and Stahl chipped in one ace. Fayetteville’s net play was also good in game four, pushing the Lady Rockets to a 2520 win. Fayetteville served up 20 aces on the night, against only seven service errors. Sheets had 16 kills in the match. Tissandier added seven. Valentine chipped in five and Kaitlin James finished with three. The win lifted Fayetteville to 8-1 overall and 5-0 in SHL play. On the evening, Fayetteville raised $418 through a basket raffle and bake sale for the Susan G. Komen for a Cure Foundation. “We would like to thank the Fayetteville community, staff and students for help making the event such a success,” said Sheets. “Many businesses helped out by allowing us to put donations jars in their

Eastern defeats Fayetteville in Southern Hills League showdown By Ritchie Butler The Brown County Press

Eastern’s Allison Prine boots a shot past Fayetteville’s Betsy Wiederhold during the Lady Warriors’ win.

After a scoreless first half between the Southern Hills League’s two leading girls soccer teams, the Eastern Lady Warriors scored twice in the second stanza, defeating the Fayetteville Lady Rockets by a score of 2-0. “Congratulations to Eastern on a good win in a great game,” said Fayetteville coach Jim Schmidt. “We had our chances, but weren’t able to convert shots into goals.” Both teams played excellent defense in the first half. Fayetteville and Eastern each had a handful of good shots, but were unable to find the net. The second half started much like the first, with neither team able to penetrate the opponent’s defense. With 12:20 remaining in the game, the scoreless tie was broken when Allison Prine knocked in a shot off a chip ahead by Megan Simpson. The Lady Warriors added to their 1-0 lead two minutes later when Prine scored again, this time on a break away from the left side. Fayetteville went on the attack, firing several shots at the goal during the final 10 minutes.

Broncos, Russell making strides on and off the gridiron By Ritchie Butler The Brown County Press Too often in football we care about who won the game, who scored the touchdowns or who made the most tackles. But sometimes, just playing the game makes all the difference in the world. For Tyler Russell, having the opportunity to play football for the Western Broncos fulfills a lifelong dream. “Football makes me happy and I really enjoy it,” said Tyler. “I am lucky that the coaches gave me an opportunity. I feel fine about playing and they expect the same things out of me as they expect out of the other players.” Tyler, an 18-year-old senior at Western, is playing his first season as a Bronco. Any player’s first season is special, but for Russell it is even more so because he is hearing impaired. In fact, Russell is completely deaf. “I took Tyler to a football game and we sat in the stands,” said Intervention Specialist Mark Abbinante. “He didn’t like sitting in the stands that well, but when I took him on the field it was a different story.”

It wasn’t long after, Tyler started asking if he could play football for Western. After discussing Tyler’s request with parents, doctors, teachers, coaches and anybody else associated with the issue, Tyler’s lifelong dream of playing football became a reality. “It’s been a collaborative effort,” said Western Director of Special Education Jenny Bohrer. “It’s also good that two of our coaches are Intervention Specialists.” Tyler, a defensive lineman, has really taken to playing the game. Western’s offensive and defensive signals are visual, which made it easier for him to pick up on plays. Since it is his first year, Tyler sees action on Saturdays during the junior varsity games and dresses for the varsity team on Fridays. The story doesn’t end with Tyler being part of the team. Playing with the Broncos has led to better things for him and for his school. “We’ve created an interaction between Tyler and the students in general education,” said Bohrer. “The other students now know how to approach him, forming new friendships.” “Tyler is now advocating

Now, when Tyler walks down the hall, his friends can sign words to him.” Tyler will also tell you that he has changed since playing football became part of his life. “I have completely changed my attitude toward school,” said Tyler. “I taught my teammates some sign language and they are my friends. They spell words to me and I can communicate with them.” Tyler requires an interpreter and Phyllis Campbell fills that

role for him in the classroom and on the sidelines. “We were blessed that Phyllis was able to be with him during the day and at practices and games,” said Bohrer. “It made his transition to football easier because he was already familiar with the way Phyllis signed,” added Ward. “He really loves and follows the game. Now, he teaches us about football.” The Western administration and staff couldn’t be more pleased with the results. “I am so proud of the collaborative effort we put together,” said Bohrer. “The

school and the community have been so supportive.” “Tyler’s parents (Tracy and Ernest Russell) have also been really supportive,” said Ward. “They come to all the games and bring Tyler’s siblings.” Tyler’s younger brother, Travis, is a junior at Western and is also hearing impaired. Soon, it will become easier for students to communicate with Tyler. Western High School is now offering American Sign Language as a foreign language credit and hopes to expand the program to include adult classes. “The response has been great,” said Bohrer. “When I asked about offering adult classes as well, I must have received 50 calls. This all started because Tyler wanted to play football.” Tyler is currently working on his senior project for graduation. You guessed it, the origin and history of football. “Football makes me happy,” added Tyler.

Lady Rockets down Lynchburg in ‘Volley for the Cure’ match

Page 16 - The Brown County Press - Sunday, September 26, 2010

In a rare non-league matchup, Southern Buckeye Conference division leaders, Western and Williamsburg squared off on the volleyball court Monday. The Lady Broncos played well, downing the rival Lady Wildcats by a 30 match score. “This is always a good

game as a friendly rival,” said Western coach Heather Cooper. “Williamsburg runs a lot of off-speed at us and we did a nice job with our runthroughs tonight.” Western controlled the action early, jumping out to a 9-2 lead behind the strong service of Ashleigh Huiet and Danika Ratcliff. The Lady Broncos kept pressure on the net both offensively and

defensively in game one, cruising to a 25-17 win. Williamsburg turned the tables in the second game, racing to a 5-0 lead. Behind the blocking of Ratcliff and strong hitting from Mariah Carroll, Alli Morgan and Becca DeBord, Western climbed back in the game, tying the score at 18-18. The seesaw battle ended with Carroll making good on a serve, giving the Lady Broncos a 25-23 victory and a 2-0 match lead. “Our service receive and defense was on from the start,” said Cooper. “Danika came out ready to play. She was on the net and played well. Becca also had some nice blocks and shots.” Western pulled away in game three, getting strong service games from Elizabeth Carter and Taylor Patten. The Lady Broncos also dominated action at the net in game three, leading by as many as 10 points. Carroll finished off the Lady Wildcats from the service line, scoring on threestraight serves at the end, securing the 25-16 game three win. The loss dropped Williamsburg to 8-2 overall. The Lady Wildcats remain unbeaten in SBC play. Western improved to 10-4 overall. The Lady Broncos are 5-0 in the league.

G-Men outlast Broncos, 3-2 By Ritchie Butler The Brown County Press The Georgetown G-Men traveled 12 miles north and outlasted the Western Broncos in a non-league soccer matchup on Tuesday, 3-2. “We are similar teams, both young and building,” said Georgetown coach Brian Dietrick. “We made some changes tonight and it paid off.” “We got off to a slow start, and that was the difference in the game,” said Western coach Kyle Fender. “We’ve gotten better from day one, we just need to get our goal to shot ratio up.” The G-Men got on the board early when Kyle Damen knocked in a shot off a rebound with 37:35 left in the first frame, giving Georgetown a 1-0 edge. One of the changes mentioned by coach Dietrick came into play when D.J. Latham, who was moved up front, took a pass from Damen and converted it into a goal with 32:49 remaining in the half. Western cut the lead to 2-1 when Jon Hayes

Blue Jays soar over Warriors By Rob Roberts The Brown County Press In what Ripley's Head Soccer Coach Gabe Scott called his teams most complete game of the year, the Blue Jays held on for a 4-2 victory at Eastern on Saturday. Ripley got the scoring started early as senior Jarrin Taul scored on a rebound in the 5th minute to give the Jays an early 1-0 lead. Ripley extended the lead to 2-0 as Alan Guerrero found

the back of the net in the 26th minute. But the celebration wouldn't last long as just 30 seconds later it was Eastern's junior captain Jordan Payne cutting the Ripley lead to 2-1. Then just before the half ended, the Blue Jays tacked on another goal as this time it was Ravye Williams knocking in the header off the corner kick to give Ripley a 3-1 lead at the half.

made a penalty kick with 16:06 to go in the first after a handball on Georgetown in the box. The score remained 2-1 at the break, as both teams defense took over the final 15 minutes of the half. “We are starting five first-year players, but the are beginning to come into their own,” added Dietrick. Nine minutes into the second stanza, Latham found the net off a rebound, giving him a second goal and the G-Men a 3-1 advantage. Less than a minute later, Western’s Avery York scored off an ill-advised back pass by the G-Men, making the score 3-2 in favor of Georgetown. Despite every effort by the Broncos in the final 30 minutes, the Georgetown defense held, preserving the 3-2 win. “Both teams worked hard, as the score indicates,” said Fender. “We outshot them, but we just couldn’t find the net. If we keep working, the bounces will start to go our way.” Georgetown goalie Zach Hardyman unofficially finished with 19 saves on the night. “With the type of defense we play, we have to have an aggressive keeper,” added Dietrick. “Zach made some good decisions and committed to them tonight.” The win lifted Georgetown to 3-8 on the year while Western fell to 2-8.

favor of the Lady Warriors in the 25th minute. Then moments later, it was Yockey getting her second tally of the game with help from Allison Prine, giving Eastern a 3-0 lead at the half. At the half, Eastern head coach Sarah Koehler challenged her girls to finish the game. And that’s exactly what they did as just five minutes into the second half it was Brooke Lawson knocking in the header to make it 4-0 Eastern. The Lady Warriors still weren't done as Prine finished off the scoring to give Eastern a 5-0 victory and improve their record to 8-0 on the season. After the game coach Koehler was quick to point out the effort of the defense as one of the main reasons for Eastern's success. Besides solid goal keeping from Kaylee Purdy, coach Koehler was full of praise for Hannah Granger, who anchors the back of the defense and "puts the players where they need to be."

Georgetown, Western play to tie By Ritchie Butler The Brown County Press In a game that started fast and furious, the Georgetown Lady G-Men and the Western Lady Broncos settled into a 1-1 tie in a nonleague soccer contest on Tuesday. “We started flat,” said Georgetown coach Mark Pack. “Our defense and goalie took a beating tonight. Western dominated the first half and we were much more aggressive in the second.” “I am frustrated with our play tonight,” said Western coach Anna Howell. “We had the ball and the shots and dominated the first half. But we were completely stagnant in the second half.” The Lady Broncos wasted no time finding the net. Just three minutes and 25 seconds into the game, Allyson Hile took a pass from Calleigh Olsen and scored from right of the goal. But for the rest of the half, Western’s kicks were stopped by Georgetown’s Hannah Jones

in goal or sailed high and wide. The Lady G-Men evened the count with just over 11 minutes left in the first when Jen Workman got in front of the Western defense and tapped in a shot. In the second half, time of possession was close to equal as Georgetown saw some more scoring opportunities and the Lady Broncos got off some shots as well. Neither squad was able to find the net over the final 40 minutes and the Brown County rivals played to a 1-1 tie. “We had a couple of good runs in the second half, but couldn’t get it into the net,” said Pack. “Jen really worked the offense and Madison (Pack) got some things started on the front line.” “We have some young talent, but we need some confidence,” said Howell. “We are battling some injuries and maybe the heat got to us a little. I had some girls asking to come out.” With the tie, Georgetown stands at 2-7-2 while Western has an overall mark of 3-4-2.

contributed items for the raffle, and all who came out and played. A special thanks is extended to Wood Insurance, the hole-in-one sponsor.

On a daily basis, I see and treat obese pets. Obesity exists when body weight exceeds the optimum for the individual pet by 15 % or more. Obesity is the most common nutritional disease in the dog and cat. It is estimated that as many as 44 % of all dogs and at least 15 % of all cats are overweight. Overfed pets become overweight pets, and this is a persistent medical issue in veterinary medicine. With Americans diets becoming worse in recent history, it’s no surprise that similar feeding habits have caused our pets to become overweight and obese with their owners. Obesity is more common with advancing age and occurs more often in females than males. It often occurs more frequently in neutered pets. If you’re not sure what your pet’s optimum weight is the most practical way of evaluating your pet is to check the amount of fat over his or her rib cage. Place your hands on your pet’s rib cage with your thumbs on his back. If the ribs are easily felt, your pet is considered to be normal weight. If you can feel fat between the ribs and skin or the ribs are difficult to feel, your pet is overweight. If the ribs cannot be felt, your pet is obese. In some pets, particularly cats, a large abdomen that hangs down or protrudes to the sides, indicates obesity. Your veterinarian should confirm this judgment of your pet’s weight status. Your veterinarian will rule out other medical conditions that might look like obesity, such as hypothyroidism. It is important to confirm that your pet is really overweight and not just showing signs of heart, kidney, or glandular disease. The funny things is that no animals except maybe misbehaving ones, feed themselves – its take an owner to put out the pets food. Because of this we can control obesity in pets by only providing them with their dietary requirements. Overfeeding and lack of exercise cause obesity, so controlling our pet’s caloric intake to match its lifestyle can prevent it. In particular with cats, leaving food out all the time leads to obesity. Bored animals tend

to graze all day long when in reality they may only need to eat once daily. Heavy animals are sometimes not recognized as carrying too many pounds until your veterinarian points it out. You may not notice that your pet is putting on weight on a day-today basis, but over a period of time this can add up. Veterinarians and their staff are trained to be able to advise owners of what to feed, how much to feed, and how often to maintain your animals’ ideal weight. In this day and age there are some excellent formulated diets available that contain all the protein, calories, minerals and vitamins your pet needs for maximum performance or laying around. If your pet needs to lose weight, consult with your veterinarian before starting your pet’s new diet. Being overweight may cause many problems such as heart disorders, arthritis, diabetes, some skin diseases, and a lazy pet. Obese dogs and cats have a higher incidence of skeletal and cardiac problems, diabetes, impaired reproductive efficien-

cy and risks associated with anesthesia and surgery. Most studies in human beings and animals support the concept that obesity shortens life. Sometimes cutting out all the treats may be enough, depending on how overweight your pet is. Some animals are more susceptible to gaining weight than others; this includes pets that have been neutered, older pets and certain individuals with a genetic tendency towards obesity. Pets belonging to older people are frequently overfed, as they are the center of their attention. It is more difficult to achieve weight loss when the animal has gained the extra pounds. By reducing or eliminating table scraps, monitoring serving size, and increasing the amount of exercise your pet intakes may help achieve this goal. With the help of your veterinarian, make a new years resolution to design a weight loss program for your pet’s individual needs and shed those extra pounds. Dr. Dan Meakin is the owner of All Creatures Animal Hospital, 1894 Ohio Pike in Amelia. Call (513) 797-PETS.

Pet Nutrition One aspect of canine care that is the most misunderstood is that of proper nutrition. • Feeding good quality dog food will enhance your pet's health and longevity. • Choose the food that is formulated for your pet’s life stage (puppy, senior, adult) and type (small breed, giant breed). Here are some tips to help you choose the best food one for your dog: • Read the label. The list of ingredients must be in descending order. This means that the most prevalent part of the diet is listed first and then followed by each ingredient in order by weight. • Feed the best quality food you can afford. The saying really applies to pet food, you get what you pay for.

Check with your veterinarian for their specific preference for your dog. All Creatures Great Amelia,
