Aberdeen halts water plant The village of Aberdeen has ordered that all work on a new water treatment plant be halted...possibly opening up the village to breach of contract lawsuits. If the plant is not built, the village could also find itself in the position of having to pay back 2.3 million dollars worth of bonds without having anything to show for the money. Councilwoman Billie Eitel said in a telephone interview that the four council members who voted for the stop-work order feel like they are justified in doing so. “There are still some issues that we need to look in
to in regard to where that plant is being built,” Eitel said. “First of all the right-ofway to the plant has never been considered. And exiting off of Rt. 52 could be a real problem and the size of the property is also something we need to review. “There will be very little room to add on to the plant in the future. This is a real concern for us. These are just some things we need to resolve before we can move forward.” Ed Kidston, president of Artesian of Pioneer, Inc., was hired by the Village of Aberdeen as consultant on its new water treatment plant which is currently underway. In the February 12, 2012 issue of the Brown County
Press, Kidston was quoted as saying ...“the plant should be up and running in about four or five months depending on the weather, and that everything on the project was going well.” But, following the regular Aberdeen Council meeting held Monday evening, April 9, when council voted to continue its plans to stop all work on the water treatment plant, Kidston changed his mind about his involvement in the project. On Tuesday, April 10, Kidston emailed the following letter to the Aberdeen mayor and council. The letter reads as follows: Dear Council and Mayor, As you know the village never signed the agreement
to hire Kidston Consultants as your consultant for your water treatment project. Thus far, we have been working for the village on good faith. We have not invoiced nor have you paid us any monies for all the work we have completed the past year and half. Therefore, technically this is not a letter of termination but rather simply a letter of information. As of this date, (April 10, 2012) Kidston Consultants will be severing ties with the Village of Aberdeen. It is apparent after last evening you no longer desire my counsel, that in fact 4 members of village council have become the consultant for the village CONTINUED ON PAGE 10

Man killed in tractor accident 73 year old Franklin Martin was killed when his tractor rolled over near his residence on Heaton Road near Sardinia on Wednesday, April 11. The Brown County Sheriff’s Office said Heaton was pronounced dead at the scene. The Sheriff’s Office also said that there was no rollover protection on Martin’s tractor and urges citizens to use caution during the agricultural and grass cutting season. The accident is still under investigation.
Joe Uecker wins vote recount, praises Paul Hall for positive race BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press Joe Uecker will be the next State Senator for the 14th district of Ohio. The district includes Brown county, as well as Clermont, Adams and Scioto counties. The district also includes part of Lawrence county. A recount of the March 6th Primary vote was ordered by the Ohio Secretary of State’s office after Uecker’s 179 vote margin of victory fell below one half of one percent of the total votes cast. Following the recount, Uecker gained one vote in Clermont County. Challenger Paul Hall lost one vote each in Clermont and Brown counties, making the final margin of Uecker’s victory 182 votes.

“I’m quite pleased that the campaign is over and I am looking forward to serving the people of the 14th Senate District”, Uecker said.

On April 11, another person died in Brown County of what will likely be ruled an accidental drug overdose. Those deaths are now happening about every two weeks. The drug problem in Brown County is bad...and getting worse. That is the consensus from every one of the public officials and professionals
charged with dealing with the problems created by addicts breaking the law to feed their drug habits. The statistics are sobering. Brown County had the highest accidental drug overdose death rate in the state in 2010 , and is flirting with the top spot again. Brown County Prosecutor Jessica Little said that two thirds of the crime in the county is drug related. Brown County Sheriff Dwayne Wenninger said that
eighty percent of home burglaries are drug related. Wenninger also said that all accidental overdoses must be investigated as homicides until proved otherwise. “That costs us a tremendous amount of tax dollars in investigator time, supplies and equipment and all the other factors that go into a major investigation”, Wenninger said. He added that when detectives are spending a large CONTINUED ON PAGE 12
Eastgate Jungle Jim’s still on track for grand opening in mid-Summer BY Kristin Bednarski The Brown County Press Details are coming together at Jungle Jim’s International Market in Eastgate, and as progress continues, the store is acquiring the “Jungle” flair that shoppers are anticipating. “The stadium is wrapping up nicely,” Phill Adams, director of development for Jungle Jim’s International Market, said about one of the surprises that awaits shoppers. “The castle is almost complete.” Adams teased some of the exciting details of the new
market, but wouldn’t give away too much as many of the decorations and features remain a secret. “There is a very unique fire truck for the hot sauce area,” Adams said. “But we couldn’t stop there, we had to have another feature that will blow people away.” Exciting sights and sounds are abundant at Jungle Jim’s and shoppers already travel to the original market in Fairfield just to be a part of the atmosphere. The Fairfield Jungle Jim’s grew from a roadside market, founded in 1974 by owner “Jungle” Jim Bonaminio, to
a store with more than 300,000 square feet and 150,000 products from more than 75 countries. The new Jungle Jim’s will offer similar selection in a 400,000 square foot store. Each area of the Eastgate store is distinct and colorcoded by paint on the ceiling. Just like the Fairfield location, the store will feature international food, american grocery, meat, produce and natural food sections as well as a deli, bakery, cheese shop, olive bar, seafood section and more. The store will also feature CONTINUED ON PAGE 12

Two killed, one injured in Route 32 crash Collision occurred at SR 32 and Dela Palma Road BY Kristin Bednarski The Brown County Press Two men were killed in a car crash on state Route 32 in Williamsburg April 9. The crash occurred at approximately 3:07 p.m. at the intersection of SR 32 and Dela Palma Road. Ernest Webb, 65, and Brian Ahrens, 43, both of Williamsburg, were pronounced dead at the scene. The Ohio State Highway Patrol, Williamsburg Township Emergency Services Department and other first responders reported to the scene after the crash, and eastbound Route 32 was closed for several hours.

On March 29, Georgetown Police K-9 Officer Shaun Inlow responded to State Route 32 at Route 62 at the request of the Ohio State Highway Patrol. A State Trooper had stopped a vehicle and suspected the occupants were involved in illegal Narcotics activities. Officer Inlow and his K-9 partner Gabber arrived and after obtaining a permission to search the vehicle was searched by Gabber. He alerted on the turn signal area on the driver’s side of the interior of the vehicle. A search of that area revealed two hypodermic needles hidden inside the fuse box. The used needles contained trace amounts of Heroin. Two subjects, a male and a female, were arrested by the patrol and transported to the Brown County Adult Detention
Center. The female subject was found to have four grams of heroin hidden on her. Two counts of Possession of Heroin, Possession of Drug Instruments and Possession of Paraphernalia were filed on the subjects. The four grams of heroin had a street value of $400.00 dollars.

The 2012 Health Fair at Southwest Regional Medical Center was a big success. “We had over 500 participants from the community come to us for a current snapshot of their health status”, said Southwest Regional Medical Center Chief Executive Officer Joan Phillips. For twenty dollars, participants received lab work for blood pressure, blood sugar, heel scans and oxyge n levels among other health information. There were also 48 local vendors present to discuss what the had to offer to help the public with their health care needs. Phillips said "The comments I received from the people coming in were very positive for the health fair and Southwest Regional. We’re very pleased that the community is showing us so much support."

Letters to the Editor
Myths on Gas Prices and Healthcare Dear Editor, I write to enlist your help by publishing the relevant and unbiased facts needed to enable your readers to understand and correctly assess the barrage of often false or misleading information regarding current issues, which pours daily from advertisements, politicized talk-show hosts and other poorly informed media sources. An immediate and prime example is the current and real concern regarding the unusually steep increase in the price of gasoline. We are not being told that prices in the USA are tied to prices throughout the world. In fact, gasoline consumption in the USA has decreased and re-
finers are exporting gasoline and other refined petroleum products to other countries in order to maximize utilization of refinery capacity and maintain profit margins. Strategis Advisers reports that Ed Yardeni, a respected financial analyst, found that as of February 14, 2012, speculators and traders (large banks, hedge funds and individuals, not airlines and other end-users) held over 44% of total US oil inventories, hoping that geopolitical concerns, such as the Iranian confrontation, would cause oil prices to escalate. In 2008, when oil prices climbed to nearly $150.00 per barrel, speculators were later confirmed as playing a
ceeded in blocking the inclusion of a public opinion. Given what appears to be a fairly even split of public opinion regarding the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, it is important that there is an accurate understanding of what will be lost if the law is struck down. Without the law, insurance companies can keep turning away people with pre-existing conditions or charging them higher premiums. They can maintain annual caps and restore lifetime caps on how much they spend on an individual policyholder. They will be able to stop paying the full cost of preventive services, including CONTINUED ON PAGE 5

That is an incredible amount of your tax dollars being spent every time a severe drug addiction finally reaches an end. If all these people were dying because of a serial killer, a gymnasium wouldn’t hold all of the people concerned about the issue. In a sense, the victims are being killed. It’s just happening in slow motion. In many ways you realize and in some ways you don’t, the drug problem is draining dollars from your pocket. If you want to find out how you can help, come to the meeting at Western Brown on Monday. Hopefully, enough people will show up that they’ll have to move the location to the gymnasium.

Reader praises Himes of SHCTC Dear Editor, What is a teacher? Webster’s dictionary defines a teacher as “Someone who gives a lesson or shows someone how to do something.” I’m certain, if we all think back, we can remember most of our teachers’ names, but is there that one special teacher that you will never forget? The one who REALLY made a difference in your life? Unfortunately, I don’t remember anyone like that in my life, but being a parent of 5 boys, I can say that I have met 2 teachers that fit that criteria, and I honestly believe my boys’ future successes in school and out of school will forever be impacted by what those teachers brought into the classroom. I speak to you now as a fellow educator, tax payer, and most important, a parent. We have a crisis on our hands. It seems that education is taking a
back seat to personal politics in our schools, in this case, at Southern Hills Career and Technical Center. The school has been receiving a lot of positive media lately, both on television and the newspapers, about a trio of boys from the Sports Medicine Program who have invented a new football helmet. This helmet started out as a school project for their senior class showcase, and since winning class and school wide competition, has soared into legal papers and a pending patent! The team went on to Columbus and won 1st place in the state HOSA competition and is now headed to the National competition this summer in Orlando, Fla. It is important to point out here that Southern Hills opened in 1975. This is the first team in the history of the school to win 1st place in the state HOSA competition. The Sports

major role in the ballooning oil prices and were using tactics such as leasing large oil tankers, to store and prevent oil reaching the market. The healthcare law is a second issue where much misunderstanding abounds. From the get-go, the effort to rationize healthcare in the USA was the focus of a multimillion dollar lobbying and advertising campaign to defeat it and it is now a focus of misinformation for political purposes. Given the ideological makeup of the Supreme Court, the odds makers are offering favorable bets that the individual mandate will be struck down. This would not be an issue if the Insurance Industry had not suc-

Medicine program is headed by instructor Greg Himes and has only been available to students four years. During this time, Mr. Himes and his students organize a community service project at the Brown County Fair, and a 5K run fundraising project for HOSA. The Sports Medicine students do job shadowing at home school sporting events and surrounding health care facilities. Several of the Sports Medicine graduates have gone on to higher levels of education. What is making this program so successful? To me, the program is successful because of the leadership shown by Greg Himes, the instructor. In order to be a successful leader, one must possess certain qualities such as Vision, Ability, Enthusiasm, selfconfidence, and most importantly, integrity. I have seen, first hand, how Mr. Himes
conducts his class. There is a mutual respect between him and his students. He is a firm believer that children learn through hands-on, meaningful experiences (Lab). He has taken 3 students, one of which is my son, who didn’t really like school, found it to be boring and uneventful, and sparked that “little” bit of interest in them, encouraged them, engaged them in the learning process, supports them, and now they are on their way to a National Competition and possibly marketing the biggest idea to come out of this area in years! Mr. Himes pushes these boys, and the rest of his class, everyday, to be the best people they can be. He encourages them to keep working because everything has room for improvement; you just have to be willing to find it. He tells them everyday

The drug problem in Brown County is getting worse. Law enforcement and drug treatment professionals are busier than ever, trying to deal with the effects and the aftermath of the drug problem. On Monday, April 16, a panel of local experts will hold a town meeting at Western Brown High School to discuss the issue of prescription drug and heroin addiction. The meeting will be in the Community Room at 6:30 p.m. The group will include Steve Dunkin, Executive Director of the Brown County Board of Alcohol, Drug Addiction and Mental Heath Board, Brown County Sheriff’s Office Chief Deputy John Schadle, Brown County Prosecutor Jessica Little, and representatives of the Brown County Health Department and Talbert House. Why should you care? Because two thirds of all crime in the county is drug related. Because eighty percent of the break-ins are drug related. Because Brown County

OPINION Myths on Gas Prices and Healthcare CONTINUED FROM PAGE 4 mammograms, flu shots and well-child visits. Young adults will no longer be guaranteed coverage on their parents’ plan until age 26. Absent the law, insurance companies will no longer be required to spend 80 cents of every premium dollar on medical claims. before the law, insurance companies often spent 25 to 30 percent of the money which they collected on administration and profits. Administrative costs for Humana include CEO pay of $3.72 million plus stock options exercised of $10.38 million and for United Healthcare, CEO pay of $4.81 million and stock options exercised for $43.54 million (all for calendar year 2010). Sucks up a lot of premium dollars! There are other lesser well known aspects of the Healthcare Law, such as the charge to the FDA to facilitate the development of “Biosimilars,” cheaper versions of drugs produced from living organisms, such as vaccines and gene therapies used to treat diseases from arthritis to cancer. These treatments are of growing importance and are often exceptionally expensive; man costing thousands of dollars per treatment. Other aspects of the law are focused to decreasing the frequency and cost of hospital acquired infections and improving care after discharge, thus decreasing complications, pain, and readmissions, hence driving down costs. The law is not perfect, but
I believe, as a work in progress, it merits the best efforts of people of all political persuasions to work to correct its defects. Should the law be struck down in its entirety, it may well be another generation before the political will to tackle the problem exists. Given the scientific tools available and the passionately interested and exceptionally bright minds working in the field, the technical complexity and capability of medical science will continue its rapid progress. I believe that the vast majority of the American people are greatly concerned about the growing cost of medical care and equally so because of its limited availability to so many individuals. When I started practice some 60 years ago, the limited effectiveness of medical science constrained the negative impact of limited availability and cost was hardly a problem. I have been fortunate to witness and participate in the evolution of medical science, but with growing concern for those who cannot access proper care and those who are bankrupted by its cost. This must change. One more thing - Rep. Ryan has proposed, among many other things, radically changing Medicare to provide seniors with a fixed payment, which would represent a return of Medicare tax, to apply toward purchase of medical insurance on the open market. This proposal merits serious consideration if and only if tied
to the provision of a public option. Without this, the costs of medical insurance will rapidly become prohibitive and seniors will be subjected to selective screening, leaving those with significant pre-existent illnesses unable to purchase insurance at all. i have worked in the insurance industry as a medical director and I can assure you that the proposition that seniors will benefit from competition between the insurance companies is a fantasy. The companies prefer to compete not on price, but by offering perks of limited or dubious value, such as wellness education, exercise programs, etc. The concept of Democracy assumes that each individual, having availed himself of the applicable facts, will make a rational decision based on his/her understanding of the consequence for his.her family. In this day of mega-funded opinion-molding efforts, driven by such master propagandists as Karl Rove and utilizing a drumbeat of words and images from print and electronic media, it is difficult for we average citizens to actually dig out the facts and weigh them amidst the din. It is a great opportunity for the newspaper to isolate the relevant facts concerning the important issues and provide a valuable service by doing its best to separate the wheat from the chaff. Please help. Gene F. Conway, MD, FACC, CMD Georgetown
Time to thank Girl Scout leaders CONTINUED FROM PAGE 4 their meeting room. They introduce them to careers, foreign lands, and education opportunities. They teach them how to preserve their world environmentally and socially by helping their neighbors, both locally and abroad. These individuals give of themselves not because they have to but because they want to. They wish to see these young women gain op-
portunities that may not be offered other than in the Girl Scouts. And despite the paperwork, the leftover cookies, the requirements of a ‘volunteer’; these peoples step up, take on the challenge and greet their troop….their girls….at every meeting with a smile, an enthusiasm, and a desire to learn what the girls can teach them today. Few individuals can volunteer their time to a youth

organization. But for the ones that do….especially for the Girl Scout Leaders, assistant leaders and volunteers, I wish to say THANK YOU. Though sometimes your tasks feel overwhelming, just always remember that you are making a difference. You are causing a change be it from the tiniest of Daisies learning to speak the Promise in front of a crowd with a smile and proud voice to witnessing an Cadette leading 2000 plus people effortlessly in a flag ceremony to watching a GS Ambassador tear up realizing that ‘her’ days as a ‘Girl’ Scout are drawing to a close and wanting to know how soon she can become a leader. You helped get her there. It counts. Thank you. Jennifer Stewart-Hamblen Grant Service Manager
Reader praises Himes of SHCTC CONTINUED FROM PAGE 4 that they have the potential to be anything they want to be and do anything they want to do when they get out of school. He tells them to never give up on their dreams. As a parent, I stand up and applaud Mr. Himes…I thank him everyday for making a difference in my child’s life. How often do we find teachers who come to work everyday because they want to make a difference in a child’s life? I am a teacher myself, and I proudly use Mr. Himes as an example for me. That is how I want my children to remember me, as someone who cared and made a difference. I think it’s a sad day for our school and education system when a teacher who exemplifies great leadership, who has built this program up to what it is today, is being considered for non-renewal. I ask why with all of the positive light brought to the Sports Medicine program and Southern Hills Ca-
reer and Technical Center by this teacher. I’m asking all you tax payers, parents, students, and even former students…Please take a stand. This school and our children will be done a great disservice if Mr. Himes is non-renewed. The school would not be getting all the attention it’s getting now if it wasn’t for this program and the person leading it. APRIL 25th is the board meeting. Mr. Himes needs our support. Please be there and tell the board how important it is to have a teacher like Greg in our school. APRIL 25th at
7pm at Southern hills Career and Technical Center. Stephanie Brown Teacher, Tax payer, Concerned Parent

FIRST COMMUNION SERVICE The number 13 is the number of the Antichrist and Satan so it is no wonder that we find him in the 13th chapter of the Gospel of John. The Antichrist is the devil incarnate, the devil man. We will also find him in Isaiah 14:12; 1516 which states: “How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!... Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms...” This is the devil man, the Antichrist, the devil incarnate! The devil will have his trinity. There is a man who is Satan incarnate. We are going to find this devil man, this Satan incarnate, in the book of John chapter 13 toward the end of what we call the Lord’s last supper. It was also an ending of an era. The era began when Moses was told by God to take a lamb and prepare a Passover on that last night in Egypt before he was to lead them out of bondage. They were to take the blood of the lamb and put it on their door posts and lintel to protect the firstborn of that household from death. God has told Moses that when He saw the blood He would pass over that home and spare the firstborn. The Jews were to celebrate this Passover feast for generations to come. It was a Passover feast that Jesus had attended with His disciples in the book of John. Jesus took this Passover and converted it to the communion service. Instead of the blood of a four legged lamb, Jesus, the Lamb of God, would shed His blood to protect us from eternal death (John 1:29); “...and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin” (First John 1:7). Now to typify the blood of Jesus and to represent His broken body Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it and gave it to the disciples. Then He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them to drink (Matthew 26:1728). It was a representation not transubstantiation! The Bible says He took bread and the fruit of the vine. In Deuteronomy 32:14 it is called the pure blood of the grape. That is what Jesus gave them to
DR. CHARLES SMITH MT. ORAB BIBLE BAPTIST CHURCH drink to represent His blood, it was grape juice, the pure blood of the grape, not fermented! Look up the word pure! Now, John 13:2: “And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray him”. For sake of time, look at verses 26-27: “Jesus answered, He it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when I have dipped it. And when he had dipped the sop, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon. And after the sop Satan entered into him...” Judas Iscariot is the only man in the entire Bible whom Satan actually entered into! Judas became Satan in a human body, Satan incarnate! And according to verse 28 no man at the table even knew what had taken place. But after Judas left there was a total change in the pattern of the meeting. Read for yourself what conversation followed. In fact, Judas does not come into the picture again until the beginning of chapter 18, although Jesus speaks of him as the son of perdition in verse 12 of chapter 17. The son of perdition is the Antichrist, the beast, Satan incarnate! He was, he wasn’t, and he will be again in the Great Tribulation period. Judas had the audacity to kiss Jesus as he betrayed Him! Look at Psalm 2:12. The old Hebrew word kiss meant to worship! How hypocritical was Judas’s kiss (Luke 22:48)! Guess what tribe Judas is from. He is from Judah. What tribe is Jesus from? It is Judah! Jesus is God incarnate, Judas is Satan incarnate. Jesus was resurrected; Judas will be resurrected from the bottomless pit (Rev 17:8) and he sets himself up as God (II Thessalonians 2:4). He counterfeits Christ in every way he can. But in the end Christ is victorious! Are you on the winning side? You can be if you will accept Christ as your Saviour!

BY Martha B. Jacob The Brown County Press During the April 10 meeting of the Ripley Village Council, resident Judith Gray asked to speak to council regarding the recent report that the village water supply contained large amounts of manganese. Gray had sent an article about the effects of manganese on humans to village Administrator, Charles Ashmore, expressing her concern. “I read in the paper that the village has ordered special filters to remove the manganese,” Gray began, “How long has there been this problem and why are filters just now being purchased?” Ashmore told Gray that he had read the article that she was referring to and told her that there was an error in the article which has recently been corrected on the internet.
“The EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) has a standard set for manganese in water concentrate which is .05, not .5,” Ashmore explained. “I know it all sounds a little scary, but our water is monitored very closely and does not exceed a safe amount of manganese.” Ashmore said that iron and manganese are minerals found in drinking water, but they are not harmful. “The worst thing manganese can do is cause water to have a reddish-brown tint or leave black stains on clothes or household fixtures,” Ashmore said. “Manganese and iron are both considered secondary contaminant's. That means they can cause an offensive taste or color or odor but they have no direct affect on health.” “This new process of using Greensand in our filters will eliminate the problem. The Greensand has already been ordered and
should be in place in a couple of weeks.” In other business, council received and opened four submissions for the creation of a new Ripley logo which will be used not only for the upcoming bicentennial celebration in August, but also become the logo for the village. Of the four submissions, council particularly liked a beautiful hand designed and painted picture which included the Ohio River, a field of tobacco and a paddle boat on the river. “This one is really beautiful,” said Councilwoman Roberta Sidwell about the colorful picture. The picture was submitted by resident Beth Fulton, who was present at the meeting. Another submission from June McKinney was also considered. It had a tag line that all the council members agreed was also worthy of winning the logo contest. McKinney’s tag line
Georgetown Police arrest two individual on drug related charges At approximately 4:30 p.m. on April 3rd, the Georgetown Police made an arrest in an undercover narcotics investigation. Ptl. Vicky Coburn had developed information on an individual who was allegedly selling prescription pain pills in Georgetown. Ptl. Coburn and Sgt. Bobby Gifford set up a sting operation and were able to purchase several prescription pain pills from the suspect. Johnny Cox, 45, of Georgetown, Oh., was arrested at his home by Georgetown Police Officers without incident. He is currently being housed in the Brown County Adult Detention Center and is charged with Felony Trafficking in Drugs with minors present. Additional charges are expected against at least two other individuals pending completion of the investigation. The vehicle Cox used to allegedly transport the prescription pills and sell them
from was seized for Forfeiture by the department also. At approximately 11:30 p.m. on April 3rd, Georgetown K-9 Officer Shaun Inlow and his partner Gabber were involved in a traffic stop on East State Street. When Ptl. Inlow approached the vehicle he noticed the odor of marijuana coming from it. When he asked the individuals about the odor, they all said they had just come from a house where marijuana was being smoked. Inlow did a K-9 walk around the vehicle and gabber indicated on the right rear passenger’s door. Inlow and Sgt. Gifford asked the occupants to exit the vehicle and obtained a permission to search the vehicle. Gabber alerted on the right rear seat and on the passenger who had been sitting there. Shannon Bowman, 43, of Winchester was found to have in her permission fifty-one Oxycodone Hydrochloride
tablets. She was charged with Possession of Marijuana, Possession of a Schedule II Narcotic, Possession of Drug Paraphernalia, Tampering with Evidence and Illegal Conveyance of Narcotics. The charges range from Misdemeanors to Felony Three’s. Bowman wa transported to the Brown County Adult Detention Center.

The tag line will be added to the bottom of the banners. Both women are winners of a $50 savings bond. In other business at the meeting, in the absence of Mayor Tom Leonard, council elected Sidwell to preside over the meeting. Also absent from the meeting were council members Daniel Dragoo and Charles Poole. Ashmore gave council a copy of a chart that he had prepared which explained how $25,000 would be used to repair several streets in the village. “Several of our streets need immediate attention,” Ashmore said. “I’ve prioritized them by need, and I’ve received estimates on the repairs. For $24,574 we should

be able to get a lot done on Victoria Street, Locust Street, Church Alley, the unpaved portion, Hemp Hill Road and a couple others. If it’s okay with council I will proceed to getting contracts with the pavers.” Ashmore also told council that he was looking into the possibility in having the
American Stern Wheelers Association stopping by Ripley the weekend before the bicentennial celebration. “That is quite an array of sternwheelers,” Ashmore said. “I believe it would be quite a draw for our village.” The next Ripley Council meeting will be held on April 24.

At the April 11 Fayetteville Village Council meeting, an issue that was discussed at the March 14 meeting, regarding a traffic light that had been hit by a piece of machinery and broken was resolved. When a piece of farm machinery was being hauled through the village, it hit the traffic light and broke it. Mayor Bernie Vilvens contacted the Ohio Department of Transportation and was told that fixing the light was the responsibility of the village. “It was going to cost us about $2,460 for parts and lights,” Vilvens said, “and possibly another $500 for a certain kind of part.” Vilvens said that when the farmer was contacted, he was extremely courteous and said he believed his insurance would take care of it. In other business, council member Jim McMullen, chair of the street committee, told council that all the storm drains had been cleaned out and a lot of weed-eating was being done by workers.
He also reported that an area of a street in Fayetteville would be closed off temporarily so that ODOT could check out the condition of an old cistern under the street. Ed Coleman, chair of the parks committee reported that on Saturday, May 19, a bicycle club had requested use of the park and he believed they would supply their own Porta-John for the event. Coleman said he would contact the knothole and softball teams and let them know about the event in case they had a practice planned at the park. Village Clerk Barb Riley told the mayor that the financial statement for the village is looking good. She also reported that she was looking into the costs to place pea gravel or wood chips under the playground equipment at the park. Mayor Vilvens asked council to approve hiring ‘Perfect Tree Care’ to remove a large tree that was rotten located in an alley. The cost to remove the tree was $450. council approved the request. During a report from Chief of Police Randy Carson, he asked council to

consider the purchase of a new cruiser for the village. “We just got back one of our cruisers that needed some front-end work,” Chief Carson said. “It needed a new battery too, but it seems to be doing really well. And we got new tires on another of our cruisers. “One of our cruisers in a 1999, and it is in rough shape and needs to be taken out of service. I got information today that Owensville is buying a new cruiser and they offered us their older one, a 2005 Crown Victoria for five or six thousand dollars.” Carson said he could probably only get five or six hundred dollars for the 1999 vehicle. He told council that the 2005 was completely equipped and was worth the money, but they didn’t have to make a decision yet. “Owensville won’t be getting their new cruiser until June or July,” Carson explained, “So we’ve got some time.” He added that they would only have to replace the radio in the new cruiser. In other business, council declared the month of May at ‘Motorcycle Awareness Month in Ohio’ which promotes motorcycle safety.
Residents of the
Village of Fayetteville are advised that the week of April 16 through April 20, 2012 the village will be flushing hydrants. There will be some discoloration in the water, therefore, residents should let their water run to clear the line for a few minutes to make sure the water is clean.

On March 2, 2012, Brown County Court of Common Pleas Judge Scott T. Gusweiler accepted a plea of guilty to count one driving while under the influence. Judge Gusweiler sentenced McKibben to prison for a three year term on count one. McKibben was also ordered to pay court costs and public defender fees. Judge Gusweiler further ordered three years post release control at the discretion of the Adult Parole Authority upon McKibbens’ release from prison.
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 concerning this project. My exit does not change the fact that you have signed four valid contracts, namely, the bond for the project, engineering contract with Bell Engineering, Well drilling contract with Moody’s of Dayton and a general contract with Shinn Brothers Construction. In addition you have an option agreement with Ms. Annette Mineer for land the OEPA has approved for the project but you continue to question....” Kidston ended his email by reminding council that all the above mentioned contracts have been approved, signed and in place since last year. He added that he found their actions to be extremely unethical by allowing the contractors to work the project for four months, then refuse to pay them. He said that his company has spent over 40 years building a reputation of honesty and trust and he cannot be a part of such deceitful behavior, especially by public officials who are sworn to uphold the law of the land. This unusual action taken by Kidston follows a long line of unusual actions happening in the Village of Aberdeen. The saga began in early November 2010 when council made the decision to place an issue on the ballot asking residents to vote yes or no to sell the village water system to the highest bidder. Brown County Rural Water Company was one of four that offered proposals on what they would pay for the water system. But Councilman Jerry Applegate protested vigorously against selling the water system because he felt it was a moneymaker for the village. However, after the issue was put on the ballot, and voters voted in favor of selling the water system 294 yes votes and 233 no votes, Aberdeen Village Solicitor Tresa Gossett told council that it was unlawful to sell the water system because there were outstanding loans on the system. Gossett said the water system should not and could not legally be sold. That turned the plans to sell the water system upside down and at the November 28 council meeting council repealed the citizens decision to sell. Councilwoman Billie Eitel was the only vote against repealing the citizens decision. Then at the December 12, 2011 meeting at least three engineering firms were invited to the meeting and offer bids on building a new water treatment plant for the
village which included digging two new wells, mandated by the EPA. Council also began the process of obtaining the funds to build the new plant. At the January 9, 2011 meeting council approved the purchase of a plot of land, for $10,000, where the two new wells would be dug. Eitel again was against the purchase of the land until the EPA approved the site. At the January 23 meeting, council was informed that the EPA would not approve the land purchased because it did not meet EPA standards. At that same meeting Ed Kidston was hired as a consultant on the project. Council went ahead and awarded contracts to Bell Engineering, Moody’s, and Shinn Brothers Construction. Council also located another piece of property where the wells could be dug and a treatment plant built. The village exercised an “option to buy” agreement with the late Louis Bramel for a 13 acre piece of property at $1,500 per acre. Even though the original owner of the property had passed away, he left everything to local resident Annette Mineer, who made it very clear to council that she planned on honoring the option agreement made by council. At the April 9 meeting, Mineer was in attendance, with the deed in her hand to present to council. She had informed them that she would be at the meeting with the deed. But in a meeting that lasted well over two hours, Ms. Mineer was never once asked to speak nor was she consulted during the meeting. In fact, when fiscal officer Nathan Pfeffer told council he had thousands of dollars that needed to be paid on the project, council told him not to pay them according to the ‘stop-work’ order they had put in place. Councilman Joe Sprague stated that he did not want to pay out anything until he knew the property was in the village’s name. At that point in the meeting, Councilman Jerry Applegate pointed to Mineer and said, “She’s sitting right there....ask her about the deed.” During the long meeting several members of the audience (more than 45 residents) continued to blurt out-of-order comments directed at Applegate and Councilman Jay Castle, who were both against the stopwork order. As order continued to deteriorate in the meeting, Ap-

Once he takes office, Uecker said he will continue to work to bring jobs to the 14th Senate District, just as he has in the Ohio House. “Jobs are an urgent matter, especially in the eastern part of the district”, Uecker said. “We have some strengths in the district, like training opportunities and good transportation options....we just need to bring some employers in and keep the government out of their way”, he added. Uecker said he recognizes that the vast majority of his support came from his home county of Clermont, but he intends to immediately reach out to the rest of the district. “I plan on getting to know people and building support to get things done in the eastern part of the district”, Uecker said. “I don’t want to be known as the ‘Clermont County’ Senator...I will work hard to represent the
interests of the entire district.” Hall said he was pleased that the election process worked as it should, even if he didn’t come out on top. “Out of fifty thousand votes cast, we had a three vote difference in the recount. That tells me that the system and people we have in place to count the votes have the integrity that people can trust”, Hall said. Hall said he would like to thank those who supported his election effort...and didn’t rule out another crack at public office down the road. “I’ll keep an eye out for any political opportunities that may arise in the future, but right now, I plan to keep trying to keep our community a great place to live and work.” Another recount that involves Brown County was also finalized this week. Pike County truck driver William Smith will represent the Democrat party against Republican Brad Wenstrup in the November General Election. Smith led opponent David Krikorian by 50 votes after the March 6th Primary. His lead grew to sixty votes after the recount. Smith received 10, 176 votes to Krikorian’s 10, 116.
plegate reminded those present that it was indeed a ‘Council Meeting’ and not an audience participation meeting. Following the meeting, Mineer stated that she has assured council that she would honor Mr. Bramel’s agreement to sell the village the property. “Actually, even before Mr. Bramel died, the property has already been put in my name, that’s public record,” Mineer said. “It is my land to sell. I was shocked at the last meeting when they talked as if there was some problem in purchasing the land. There was no problem and I assured them of that.” The next Aberdeen village council meeting is scheduled for May 7.

Ripley Bicentennial Celebration set for August 3-5, 2012 CMYK
BY Martha B. Jacob The Brown County Press All throughout the Village of Ripley, visitors can see historical markers, describing all the rich history in the beautiful village nestled next to the Ohio River. Many of the markers were put in place during the village’s centennial celebration in 1912. And this year, the village will celebrate its bicentennial. Ripley resident Betty Campbell, chair of the Ripley Bicentennial Committee, said the committee has been making plans for its 200th anniversary since the middle of last year. “This area of Ohio is part of the Virginia Military District, which was part of the Northwest Territory,” Campbell explained. “Marietta was the first permanent settlement under the ordinance in 1788, but it wasn’t until about 1794 that settlers began to arrive in our area.” Campbell said that Ripley held a grand celebration during its centennial in 1912 and this year’s celebration, a hundred years later, will be held on Friday, August 3 through Sunday, August 5. “We’re planning a few events that will be held in July,” Campbell said, “We plan on having a run/walk event, a 3 on 3 basketball tournament and a cornhole tournament at that time. We haven’t worked out all the details on these events yet, but we wanted to make sure even the young people could enjoy our bicentennial celebration. “Then on Thursday night, August 2nd, we will have the crowning of ‘Miss Ripley Bicentennial’ which should be fun for everyone. Jackie Kabler-Hansen is the chair of that committee. She will be releasing the details on this event in the very near future. That crowning will be held at the Ripley Elementary School.” Campbell continued, “On Friday, of course, we will have our opening ceremony at the Methodist Church at the corner of Market and Second Streets. The Community Bicentennial Choir will perform and the dependents of the founders of Ripley Colonel James Poage, and the key note address will be given by Judge Thomas Zachman, a local native who still lives in Ripley. Campbell said that Saturday, August 4 will also be a day of events for the village which will include a very large quilt show, a pet show and a historical scavenger hunt for children. There will also be a baby show, antique car show and a huge parade which will begin at 2 p.m. Co-chair for these events include Shirley and Gary Moran and Greg and Elizabeth Moran. Also on Saturday, the

evening will end with an open street dance with a live band. “We’re not finished yet making our plans,” Campbell said with a smile, “We’re still holding meetings each third Tuesday of the month at the library. We meet at 7 p.m. and we want anyone and everyone from the community who has fresh ideas of what they would like to have at the bicentennial to come to these meetings and share their ideas.” She said the events will conclude on Sunday, August 6, with the opening of the time capsule which was placed at the Liberty Monument at the corner of Front and Main Street during the 1912 centennial celebration. “On Sunday, we will be placing a new time capsule at the base of the Liberty Monument,” she added, “And we will be opening the time capsule that’s there now to see what's in it. It will be very exciting for everyone.” Campbell said the village will also be visited by the Mayor of Staunton, Virginia. Staunton is Ripley's sister city. She said 50 years ago during the sesquicentennial, Ripley was also host to the mayor of Staunton that year. The bicentennial committee has also organized many old fashioned games for children during the event. “We’ve planned a very

special ‘old fashioned baseball’ game with members of the Ohio Historical Society Muffins team and a local Ripley team” Campbell added. “We anticipate that game being a lot of fun. They will be playing by 1890’s rules and even wearing the uniforms of that time.” The bicentennial committee has held several fundraisers including selling cook books and baskets. They will also be selling tee-shirts and totes at the public library.

He said the have designed the store already knowing what worked and what didn’t work at their Fairfield market. “Jungle knows what he wants and has been able to come up with stuff quickly,” Adams said about interior details of the market. “We’re after little details to make not only the customer, but the employees’ time comfortable.” Adams said it has been interested creating the new

market because they are doing everything at one time. He said the Fairfield location expanded gradually to be what it is today. “Over the years in Fairfield it was a slow process,” Adams said. “Coming into this we have been able to go more quickly.” Adams said they are also working on making sure everything runs smoothly outside the store. “I think traffic is going to be the biggest challenge,” Adams said. Adams said they are currently re-working access to Jungle Jim’s coming in from

Eastgate South Drive and are finalizing changes to the front entrance. “We are changing the way you get into and out of the property,” Adams said. “It should make for a cleaner traffic flow.” He said he is also working with owners of surrounding businesses, as well as Union Township trustees, to prepare for potential traffic and parking concerns on opening day. “We’re working on how we’re going to open,” Adams said. Adams said they will not give an exact date of the grand opening until four to
six weeks prior, but he believes they will open before noon on a Tuesday sometime this summer. “Mid-summer sounds like forever to a lot of people,” Adams said about the grand opening. “But it feels like tomorrow for me.” Adams said once they do open, many customers won’t want to come in ready to tackle their grocery list, but rather will want to come in to see what all of the hype is about. “It’s kind of like an open house,” Adams said about the grand opening. “This is not your typical grocery.”
Town hall meeting about drugs set for Mt. Orab CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 amount of time on drug overdose cases, other cases are piling up on their desks. “I know people get frustrated with how long it takes to work their cases sometimes, but we only have so many deputies and so many hours in the day”, Wenninger said. Wenninger and Little will be two of the participants in a town hall meeting on the drug problem that is set for Monday, April 16 at 6:30 p.m., at Western Brown High School. The meeting will be held in the community room. Also attending will be Steve Dunkin, Director of the Brown County Board of Alcohol, Drug Addiction and Mental Health Board. “This problem is truly an epidemic and it’s very important to raise awareness about it in the community”, Dunkin said. He added that if someone feels that the issue doesn’t affect them in some way, they are mistaken. “It’s rare to find someone who hasn’t had someone they know deal with drug addiction”, Dunkin said. “Even if they haven’t dealt with it on a personal level, or they haven’t had their home broken into, their tax dollars are going to fight a problem that is only going to get
E V E N
worse.” Dunkin said he would like to see the Community Room at Western Brown High School filled to capacity. “Standing on the sidelines is really not an option anymore. We need to educate everyone on how to help law enforcement fight the problem and what to do if it strikes their own family.” Dunkin said there is no such thing as a “typical” addict anymore. “We see people from teenagers to grandparents. Homeless people to professionals. Many times, people’s lives are unraveling behind closed doors and sometimes it’s too late to save them”, Dunkin said. Wenninger said that while prescription drug abuse is a huge problem, heroin is also an issue. “Heroin is now cheaper than Oxy or other prescription drugs”, Wenninger said. “We’ve seen it sold at as low as $15 a hit.” Cheaper heroin causes a multitude of problems. Many times addicts build up a tolerance to the drug and require more heroin to get high. Then they get a purer than expected batch and then die from an overdose. Addicts are also notorious for sharing needles, which can lead to the spread of Hepatitis C, AIDS and other blood diseases.

And many of these addicts will end up on Medicaid, straining an already tight state budget. “Unfortunately, we’ve seen our funding go down at precisely the time that the problem is getting worse”, Dunkin said. Little said she hoped that as many people as possible could attend the town hall meeting. “We all need to get involved to help defeat this epidemic”, she said. Dunkin echoed her concerns. “This may sound harsh, but the way things are getting now, if you aren’t part of the solution, you are part of the problem. We need people to come to the meeting to find out just how bad things are right now.” Once again, the meeting is at the Western Brown High School Community Room at 6:30 p.m. on Monday, April 16.
Raydean Gulley sentenced to prison In January 2012, a two count indictment was filed against Raydean Gulley. The indictment charged count one Illegal Manufacture of Drugs with specification being in the vicinity of a juvenile a felony of the first degree with a maximum penalty of 11 years in prison and count two Engaging in a Pattern of Corrupt Activity with specification one being a 350CC ATV, which is an instrumentality/ proceeds that was used in the commission of a felony and specification two that a Red Honda generator which is an instrumentality/ proceeds that was used in the commission of a felony, this being a felony of the first degree with a maximum penalty of 11 years in prison. On April 9, Brown County Court of Common Pleas Judge Scott T. Gusweiler accepted a plea of guilty to count one Illegal Manufacture of Methamphetamine with the Juvenile specification as well as all other forfeiture specifications stipulated and agreed to. Upon a motion by the State, count two Engaging in a Pattern of Corrupt Activity was dismissed. Judge Gusweiler sentenced Gulley to prison for a 4 year term in which a 3 year prison term is mandatory for a felony of the first degree and suspended his Ohio driver’s license for one year. Gulley was also ordered to pay court costs and public defender fees. Judge Gusweiler further ordered a mandatory five years of post-release control upon Gulleys’ release from prison.

Senator Brown meets Moscow officials Federal resources still available for residents
CMYK
BY Kristin Bednarski The Brown County Press United States Senator Sherrod Brown and Marie Johns, deputy administrator for the Small Business Administration, visited the village of Moscow April 3, a month after it was devastated by a tornado, to outline federal assistance that is still available for residents. “Our hearts go out to this community,” Johns said during a brief press conference in the village. “We have been here and we will be back. There is a continued need in Moscow.” Brown and Johns met in Moscow with village officials including mayor Tim Suter, and administrator Sandra Ashba to discuss loan opportunities for residents and how to better assist residents in the community. “There are things the government can do better, and we worked on that today,” Brown said about providing assistance to residents in Moscow. Last month, the SBA announced federal disaster loans were available to Brown, Clermont, Clinton, Hamilton and Warren County residents and business owners that were affected by the storms and tornados that ripped through the southern part of the state March 2. Homeowners can apply for loans up $200,000 to repair or replace damaged real
estate, and renters and homeowners can apply for loans up to $40,000 to repair or replace damaged personal property. In addition, businesses and non-profit organizations can apply for loans up to $2 million to repair or replace damaged or destroyed real estate, equipment, inventory and other assets. Brown said roughly half of the residents affected by the tornado in Moscow have applied for assistance, and while SBA officials were available to assist with loan information, he felt residents needed someone from the SBA in the village. “SBA was originally in Washington Township,” Brown said. “Some people just couldn’t get there. We will have someone in the community that can help process applications.” Brown said he thinks having someone closer will make a big difference in assisting residents who have not already applied for federal loans. Tim Suter, mayor of the village, discussed how important the loans are for residents in the community who are trying to get back on their feet after the tornado. “The benefit is going to be for people who didn’t have insurance or people who are renting homes and are now displaced,” Suter said. “It gives them an opportunity to re-build their life.” Suter said the outpouring
of help for residents in the village has been fabulous the past month, and the village has come a long way already. He said just cleaning up the debris from the storm has made a huge difference in the village. “We’re definitely moving in the right direction,” Suter said about what is being
done. Suter said the biggest need in the near future is to make sure residents whose homes were damaged or destroyed are able to rebuild and stay in the village. Johns said they hope to have representatives from the SBA in the village as soon as possible. Residents will be
able to obtain loan applications from officials and officials will be able to answer questions about the application process. She said the deadline for homeowners and renters to apply for assistance is May 14. Applications can be mailed to US Small Business Administration Processing and Disbursement Center, 14925 Kingsport Road, Fort Worth, Texas 76155. For more information about loan applications resi-
dents can call the SBA customer service center at 800659-2955 or disastercustomerservice@sba .gov. In addition to federal disaster loans through the SBA, short-term assistance from the state of Ohio is available to Clermont County residents affected by the severe weather.

Lady Rockets’ two out rally caps comeback BY Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press
B R O A D S H E E T E V E N
BATAVIA-- All it took for the Fayetteville softball team to finally get going on Monday evening was a little pressure. Facing an 8-3 deficit to host Batavia in the top of the last inning, the young Lady Rockets -- who started a lineup consisting mostly of freshman and sophomores -- went to work. Fayetteville scored seven runs with two outs in their final at-bat thanks to some timely hitting as well as a few key Lady Bulldog errors en route to a come from behind 10-9 non-conference victory. “We put the bat on the ball. They went up there with confidence,” Fayetteville coach Carmen Carson said after the game. “They knew that this was it. It’s now or never. I think they showed a lot of confidence. I think they grew up a lot in this game.” Batavia jumped ahead early with three runs in the first inning and two more in the second as they seemingly seized control early and weren’t going to let go. Once they added three insurance runs in the fifth inning thanks to run scoring singles from Alli Nickley and Haley Kilgore, it looked as if they Lady Bulldogs were going to roll to a victory as they entered the seventh inning with the five run lead. Lady Bulldogs pitcher Lexi Lipps pitched a solid game up to the seventh inning as she was able to escape most of the trouble she faced. And the seventh inning got off to a pretty good start as Lipps got Kaitlyn Feck to ground out to second base to start the inning. She then gave up an innocent enough double to the Lady Rockets number nine hitter, Riley Wolf, with one out. Though Lipps got the next batter, Ashley Moore, to line out to shorts top for the second out, Carson thought Wolf’s double was the wake up call. “We had a huge hit from our freshman,” she said. “The big double came from our ninth batter, freshman Riley Wolf. I think it, kind of, urged the rest of them on.” After Tori Huber

worked a walk, Lipps got Claire Carson to lift a pop up behind second baseman Morgan Leach in shallow right field. Leach seemed to have a bead on the ball but with a stiff wind pushing the ball out a little bit, and turning Leach around, it dropped. The drop allowed Wolf to score as Carson reached first base safely. Lipps then got the next batter, McKenna Hammons, to hit a grounder towards the shortstop. However, Kilgore couldn’t come up with it cleanly as Huber scored to make it an 8-5 game. Either of the plays could have been the game’s final out. “I went out to the mound and told them, ‘Relax. This is still an 8-5 ballgame. We just need one out,’” Batavia coach Tim Morrow said. “And we couldn’t get the one out.” The Lady Rockets quickly tied the game at eight on a Whitney Boothby two run double to right center field and a Carrie Smith single to left field. And the Lady Rockets weren’t done yet. They continued to put pressure on the Lady Bulldogs and it paid off. Emma A llen hit a ground ball to third base that third baseman Andi Otten threw wide of first base. The error allowed Smith to score to give Fayetteville a 9-8 lead, their first of the game. With Feck back at the plate, Allen scored on a wild pitch to cap off a wild top of the seventh for the

Lady Rockets as they took a 10-8 lead. “Too many errors. Too many mistakes in the seventh inning,” Morrow said. He added, “Gi ve all the credit to Fayetteville, they never quit. They played well and they played to the end. We got complacent because we were ahead and thought we had the game in the bag. They turned around and put a seven spot on us.” Despite what happened in the top of the inning, the Lady Bulldogs didn’t just pack it in.
After Boothby -- the Lady Rockets pitcher -got an out to start the inning, Leach hit a hard grou nder that Carson couldn’t corral for an infield single. An out later, Erica Bourque put a charge into a ball that went into the right center field gap. Leach sped around the bases to score and make it a 10-9 game but that would be the final run scored as the Lady Rockets caught Bourque trying to stretch her hit to a triple to end what turned out to be a big
win for Fayetteville. As a young team with just a few seniors, Carson felt a win like this could be very important in the scheme of things for the Lady Rockets (7-0). “It’ll give them the confidence,” she said. “I told them I heard girls, when we went out to the bottom of the seventh and took the field, I heard girls cheering for each other that I hadn’t heard all season. If nothing else that was an accomplishment, a major accomplishment.”

The Brown County Press - Sunday, April 15, 2012 - Page 15

It has been successful season so far for the Western Brown boys tennis team. The Broncos reeled off seven straight wins to start the season and currently sit at 8-1 after bouncing back from their first setback of the season, a 3-2 loss to Blanchester on Tuesday afternoon, with a 3-2 win at Hillsboro on Wednesday afternoon. While it has been a solid season to date, Broncos coach Tom Ball still feels his team has some room for improvement. “To tell you the truth, we’re not in shape,” he said. “We’re winning but we’re not in shape...Oh yeah, (we’ve got) plenty of room to improve.” On a sunny but chilly and very windy Tuesday afternoon, the Broncos just couldn’t get their game on track against visiting Blanchester. Their top two singles players, Mcree Kidwell and Chase Latham, and top doubles team, Nathan Creech and Jordan Hilton, had off days as Blanchester handed the Broncos their first loss of the season. “We just couldn’t hit it over,” Ball said. “I told them you have to concentrate and take nobody lightly.” With the strong wind and chilly weather surely playing a factor, Kidwell lost his No. 1 singles match 4-6, 4-6 while Latham lost 1-6, 3-6.
The Fayetteville baseball team was in position to pick up a solid non-conference win last Friday night against Wilmington. With freshman hurler Stephen Burroughs pitching well enough to keep the Hurricane hitters off balance, all the Rockets needed to do was make the plays behind him. While the Rockets did make most of the plays, two misplays on routine fly balls to the outfield proved costly as the Hurricanes scored a combined four runs off the two plays en route to a 6-4 win over the Rockets on a sunny but very windy evening. “The thing is it’s still early in the season,” Fayetteville coach Tim Carlier said. “Some of these guys are going to learn from their mistakes, their experiences. But (Wilmington’s a) bigger school. That’s why we play these guys, it’s more competitive. We have three losses against bigger schools than us. But that’s no excuse for making errors. We have to make plays. We make plays, we win that ballgame.” The first of the Rockets two big misplays happened with the Hurricanes holding on to 1-0 lead in the top of the third inning. Chad Roberts led off the inning by working a walk off of Burroughs on a 3-2 pitch before teammate Jacob Sheaf singled to center. Burroughs quickly recovered to get Kyle Davis to pop out in the infield and Garrett Scott to fly out to center for two quick outs. After walking Adrian Young to load the bases, however, a Burroughs’ wild pitch during Luke Meyer’s at-bat allowed Roberts to score and give Wilmington a 2-0 lead. It looked as if Burroughs would get out of the inning with no more damage done as he got Meyer to lift a routine fly ball to right field. Rockets right fielder Derek Peters, who was looking up straight into the sun, couldn’t find the ball and it dropped in front of him, allowing Sheaf and Young to score and make it 4-0 game. Though Burroughs pitched a complete game and gave up all six runs, he didn’t pitch that bad. “He’s consistent,” Carlier said. “People hit him but they’re playable balls for our defense. And like I said, he gets the ‘W’ today if we make our plays as

Western Brown tennis player Brandon Elliot follows through on a spike at the net as his doubles partner Nathan Rymer looks on Wednesday evening. The duo won their doubles match against Blanchester.
The Broncos No. 1 doubles team of Creech and Hilton won the first set 6-2 before falling 5-7, 1-6 as they suffered their second loss of the season. However, there were a couple of bright spots in the loss to the Wildcats. Jeremy Black, Western Brown’s No. 3 singles player, picked up his fifth win of the season in a 6-1, 6-2 straight set win. Additionally, the Broncos No. 2 doubles team continued its undefeated season. The No. 2 duo of

Mcree Kidwell prepares to return a shot during his No. 1 singles match against Blanchester on Tuesday evening.
Nathan Rymer and Brandon Elliot earned a hard fought 7-5, 3-6, 6-4 win. Though Ball has rotated some players through the second spot of the No. 2 doubles, Rymer has been the constant. The senior has played in each match this season -mostly with Elliot -- at No. 2 doubles and has came away with a victory in each. “Usually when I pull someone out to play another spot it’s Elliot because (Rymer’s) an experienced guy,” Ball said. That turned out to be the case in the Broncos bounce back win over Hillsboro on Wednesday afternoon. Rymer and Quaid Kidwell, who took Elliot’s spot as he subbed in at No. 2 singles for Latham, had the clinching victory in the 3-2 win. “Rymer and Quaid Kidwell carried us through,” Ball said of the Hillsboro win. “(It wasn’t) close but we had to have it.” The duo won in straight sets 6-1, 6-2. Also picking up personal victories to help secure the win were Black at No. 3 singles and Creech and Hilton at No. 1 doubles. Black won 6-3, 6-3 while Creech and Hilton won 62, 6-1.

Brown County Chamber of Commerce Night a success The second night of the 2012 race season at Moler Raceway Park was a big success despite the cold weather as a great field of cars and a nice crowd was on hand. The Mt. Orab Ford Late Models Division led off as 18 cars were on hand. The heat races saw Sardinia’s Barry Doss take the first race over Brian Gray while Jason Jameson made a late pass on Chad Stapleton to take heat number two. In the feature event, Jameson rolled to the victory with Doss, Chamberlain, Wayne Chinn and Mike Meyers rounding out top five spots. Up next was the Holman Motors Modified Division. Goshen’s Dustin Webber took the win over Batavia’s Derrick Davis in the first heat race while it was Devin Gilpin taking the second over Scotty Kincaid. In final heat race, Bethel’s Larry Pickelheimer Jr took the win over Jimmy Lennex Jr. The B-main event saw Sardinia’s Mark Kaetzel pick up the 12 lap checkered flag. Pickelheimer jumped out front for the first lap in the feature but Gilpin would charge to the front and take the lead on lap number two. Behind those two it was some great racing as Doug Adkins, Webber, Kincaid and Jeff Babcock all put on a great show battling back and forth. With five laps to go Pickelheimer seemed to find a fast lane off of turn four and closed the gap. He even

usual.” Nick Helmers -- who is back after being cleared to return from an injury -- got the Rockets on the board in the bottom of the fourth when he singled in Cody Shaw to make it 4-1. The Rockets continued to rally in the sixth. Still facing a 4-1 deficit, Stephan Pappas worked a walk to lead off the inning. After Sheaf, who pitched for the Hurricanes, struck out the next two batters, the Rockets took advantage of a couple of mistakes. Scottie Mullis stole second base and advanced to third on a passed ball before ultimately scoring on another passed ball during E.J. Aubry’s at-bat to make it 4-2. Burroughs then ignited a two out rally with a fly ball that got over Wilmington center fielder Kyle Miller’s head for a single. Helmers followed with his second single of the day to right. On the play Burroughs raced around to third as Young bobbled the ball in right field. Helmers then stole second base and, as the catcher’s throw got past the second baseman into center field, Burroughs scurried home to cut the Hurricane lead to 4-3. “That’s the plus,” Carlier
said of the Rockets fighting spirit. “We were down a decent number to a competitive team and kept on battling.” With Burroughs still on the mound in the seventh inning after retiring nine of the last 10 batters, another misplay -- albeit a very tough play -- helped the Hurricanes add two very important insurance runs. After Burroughs got a ground out to start the inning, he got Roberts to lift a fly ball down the third base line in shallow left field. Luke Allen seemed to have the ball in his sights but the wind pushed the ball all around and, despite a diving effort from Allen, it fell for a hit. Wilmington pounced on the extra opportunity as Sheaf hit a run scoring double and Davis hit a run scoring single to push the Hurricanes lead to 6-3. “It’s a learning experience,” Carlier said. “All players need to learn how to play the wind. “It should have been a catchable ball but not today.” Taylor Smucker singled in the bottom of the seventh and eventually came around to score but the Rockets could get no closer as they fell for the third time on the young season.

passed Gilpin to take the top spot only to have a caution come out just as he was behind the leaders, allowing Gilpin to retake the lead on the restart. Gilpin was able to change his line and actually pull away from the field to take his second consecutive feature victory. Pickelheimer would come home second with Adkins, Babcock and Webber rounding out the top five positions. Another nice field filled up the Holman Motors Chevettes Division as 17 cars were on hand. In heat race action it was Rusty Yarger holding off Miles Tarvin to take the first heat win while Davis was able to hold off Jeff Watson in the second. Yarger jumped out front in the feature but it only took three laps for Tarvin to come to the top of the field. Throughout the middle of the race it was Tarvin, Yarger and Davis in a three car battle for the top spot,
and with five laps to go it looked like Davis was going to claim his first victory of the season. However, as Davis came for the white flag he got tangled with a lapped car and allowed Tarvin to get by and take his second consecutive victory. Davis recovered for second position with Josh Francis, Yarger and Watson rounding out the top five. In the Crazy Compact Races, it was Jerry Gibson Jr. winning the heat race but in the feature he and his son switched cars due to some mechanical issues. At the drop of the green flag, it was Michael Skeens from Washington Court House, OH out front with Jerry Gibson III in pursuit. With two laps to go, Gibson III broke a wheel coming off of turn four, ending his race. Skeens would go on to claim his first ever feature victory with Doug Back, in his first ever race, coming home in second.
Thanks to strong team and individual efforts, the Western Brown boys and girls track field teams each led the way for the continent of three Brown County teams who took part in the New Richmond Invitational last Wednesday and Thursday evenings. The Broncos boys team -who were missing some key athletes to injury -- finished in second place out of the 18 teams that took part with 76 points. Meanwhile, the Georgetown boys finished in a solid seventh place finish while Eastern came home in 16th. It was the Lady Broncos who paced the local girls teams participating in the meet with a sixth place finish. The Lady G-Men came home 13th while the Lady Warriors finished 15th of the 17 teams partaking. Several local athletes won their competition at the two day event that saw the first day feature preliminary action while the second day featured the finals. Western Brown’s Mach Tudor took home the discus and shot put titles. For the second straight meet, Tudor broke his own school record in the shot put as he threw the weighted ball 62 feet. He had some local competition in the shot put as Georgetown’s Jess Adamson finished second with a throw of 55 ft., 8 in. In the discus, Tudor again come home victorious with a
throw of 171 feet while Adamson finished third and his G-Men teammate Bannon Swartz was fourth. Bronco Chase Latham was champion in the pole vault as he was the lone competitor to clear 12 feet. Georgetown runner Nick McAfee took home the 1600meter run title by beating the field by over 15 seconds as he ran it in 4:35.06 before he helped the G-Men 4x800 meter relay team also featuring Jake Cropper, Logan Lucas and Kyle Dame beat second place Cooper by over eight seconds with a time of 8:54.01. Conner Purdin had the top finish for the Warriors as he was fourth in the high jump. He cleared the pole at 5-4.00 to secure his placing. No local girl competitor won her competition at New Richmond but several had top four finishes. Lady Bronco Samantha Clark was the top girl finisher in any event as her eight foot pole vault was good for second place. Georgetown’s top finisher was Kylie Watson’s fourth place finish in the 3200-meter run with a time of 12:39.63 while Lady Warrior Katie Chaney’s long jump of 1311.5 was good for sixth.

The U.S Grant Homestead Association is proud to bring President Abraham Lincoln, portrayed by Mr. Fritz Klein, back to the Georgetown in an exciting new show. Mr. Klein is the country’s premier Lincoln impersonator. He has performed before amazed audiences across the country. Now you can see President Lincoln by coming to Floral Hall, Brown County Fairgrounds, Friday, April 27 at 7:30 pm. Why Abraham Lincoln in Georgetown? Well that is very simple. President Lincoln and Brown County’s General Ulysses S. Grant probably had the best working relationship of any Commander in Chief and Army Commander in the history of the United States. President Lincoln said of Grant, “I can’t spare this man, he fights!” General Grant’s respect for Lincoln is seen by his efforts to fulfill Mr. Lincoln’s plans for Reconstruction. As General of the Army and later as the 18th President, Ulysses Grant instituted and administered many of President Lincoln’s policies. President Lincoln outlined his expec-

I reported that the Pork Producers used 50,000 lbs. of pork the week of the fair. After checking with Mitch Erwin it was 8,500 pound. I wish to retract the amount but I still feel the Brown County Pork Producers have the greatest sandwich and you just have to try it. You can get an early chance to try one at our Whoopie Grand National Tractor Pull on July 6 and 7 at the Brown County Fair Grounds. Last fall at the Fair we had the Giant Pumpkin Contest again. As you entered the fairgrounds from the parking lot, you saw 8 or 9 large pumpkins exhibited. Trupointe has agreed to sponsor the contest again this year.

Recognizing Ephemerals
CMYK
BY Faye Mahaffey The Master Gardner Ephemerals? Have you heard someone speak about spring ephemerals and wonder what they were referring to? Welcome to the club! Ephemerals last for only a short time each spring. I used to refer to the wildflowers that appear each spring as simply that – wildflowers. Now I realize that I need to be more specific and describe these wildflowers as springtime ephemerals! We have a favorite trail that we hike close to Cowan Lake each spring that bursts with blooms of my favorite spring wildflowers. My husband has finally learned that he needs to slow down for this hike so that I can enjoy the scenery and take photographs. This year I neglected to refresh my memory by looking through the pages of my favorite reference book, Wildflowers of Ohio, authored by Stan Tekiela. This book is handy to carry and groups wildflowers by color and then within each color section, the flowers are arranged by the size of the flower, or flower cluster from small to large. As we headed down the trail, I realized that my book was at home on the counter, but at least we had a camera! To my surprise, the first wildflowers that we spotted were Mayapples! Most of the leaves were up and uncurled, but there were no flowers blooming. Some people use the blooming of Mayapples as an indicator of when to start looking for the elusive Morel mushroom. As we walked we spotted masses of Yellow Trout Lilies. The
common name “Trout” comes from its mottled leaves, which resemble the coloring of a Brown Trout. The Yellow Trout Lily reproduces mostly by underground bulbs. It may take up to seven years for a plant to be mature enough to flower. Further up the trail we discovered Large-Flowered Bellwort. This 10 – 20 inch single-stemmed plant has one to three drooping yellow flowers per stem. When the flowers are mature, they look wrinkled and droopy. Tucked under these larger plants were Toadshade Trilliums! The single maroon red flower poised directly on top of the whorl of leaves makes this an easy trillium to identify. This is only one of the eight species of trillium in Ohio. Then we came upon a mystery! I couldn’t decide whether we had discovered Dutchman’s Breeches or Squirrel-corn! I’m sure that you are all thinking…”well that isn’t a mystery…one bloom resembles upsidedown pants”. The mystery was…what does the Squirrelcorn flower resemble? When I looked both wildflowers up in my reference book, I was relieved to find that Squirrelcorn is often confused with Dutchman’s Breeches, which grows in a similar habitat and often side-by-side. The leaves of the two plants are nearly identical, but Squirrel-corn’s flowers are heart-shaped. With the strange heat wave that we experienced in March, we found that most of the Bloodroot flowers were fading. One of the earliest plants, it emerges from nearly frozen soil, flowering well before trees leaf out. Its flowers open on sunny days, clos-
ing tightly at night. Leaves unroll in full sun, curling up around the flower stalk at night and on cloudy days. These flowers lack nectar, quickly dropping petals after pollination, leaving a large, pointed, pod-like capsule that splits to reveal many brown seeds. As we admired these early spring ephemerals, I realized that the Buckeye trees close by were blooming! What a strange spring we have had so far. The one springtime ephemeral on my “wish” list that we didn’t see? Jack-inthe-Pulpit! I did get to see them emerging this week at the Governor’s Residence, along with Pawpaw trees in full bloom. Don’t forget that we are starting Helpline Tuesdays from 10:30 a.m. - 1 p.m. on April 10 and April 17. A Master Gardener will be at the Brown County OSUE office to answer gardening questions. You can also submit your Helpline questions to Master Gardener Mike Hannah at mhannah2@msn.com. Mark your calendars for the two remaining workshops being presented at the Fincastle campus of Southern State College. April 19 the workshop will be “Herbs” and the May 17 session will be “Planting in Containers”. All workshops are free to the public and are held in the library starting at 6 p.m. Have you planted your cabbage, lettuce, Swiss Chard, and other cool weather crops? The rabbits haven’t figured out a way to get inside the cabbage patch yet. Keep your fingers crossed for me!

Estate planning program dates are scheduled Recently I had some information about estate planning and the article from the Ohio Farm Manager Newsletter. I discussed that I was working toward putting together a program to help get you started toward the process. The process includes things like your Will or a Trust. There are different kinds of Trusts, which one might be right for your situation? What is an LLC? How do I know what to do? You will most likely need an attorney to help you through this process. Financial planners and/or your tax professionals may also be part of the process. OK, so if you have an attorney and financial planner they should have all of the answers, right? As good as some of these people are, the answer is NO! Let’s think about this for a minute. How well do these people know your family, or in a farm or business situation, how well do they know the operation? Even close family friends may not have an understanding of how things would best fit your situation. The plan is to offer a program that will get you started. This is an opportunity for families to attend and hear about the foundations for an Estate Plan. Yes, I said families. If everyone hears about it, they can better share their ideas about what might work best for everyone involved. Regardless if you are dealing with an estate that consists of a home and assets, a family business with assets, or a possibly a family farm that includes land, livestock, equipment, and so on, this program is designed to help you better understand the different options. If you have not started, trust me when I tell you that this can be complicated. So the more you know when you start the process the better prepared you will be to make decisions that will best fit your situation. Plus, the more you know, the less time it will take. Time is money. This program is designed to help you be better prepared and save you time and money in developing your Estate Plan. The dates for the program have been confirmed. The program will start on June 28, 2012, at 6:00 p.m. The program will be three successive sessions all starting at 6:00 p.m. at the Southern State Community College in Fincastle. The classes are spread out over 2 to 3 months so you can have some time to get some things started and then come back to the next session with questions. The second session will be on July 26, and the third will be September 13. The registration information will be in next week’s article. This information will include the cost and other information about the class. Safe Disposal of Pesticide Containers This second week of April has seen a long run of weather that has been tempting to get started planting. Several acres have been planted and things are getting busy around many farms in Southern Ohio. As we are busy with planting and applying pesticides, keep in
DAVID DUGAN mind that you need to dispose of all containers safely. The first thing that you need to do is read the directions on the pesticide label. The label will include directions on how to safely dispose of the containers once empty. If you have a large number of containers and would like to recycle them, there is an organization that does just that. This is a free program for farmers. The web address is http://www.acrecycle.org/ If you do not have web access, the phone number is a toll free number, 877-9522272. Plant Exchange is April 28 The Adams Co. Master Gardener Plant Exchange will be on Saturday, April 28 in Seaman at the Community Park. Plants need to be in place by 1:30 p.m. and the exchange begins at 2:00 p.m. and will end when plants are gone. Taking Care of the Cows As we hit the second week of April, many cow/calf operations are nearly done calving, and some may be done. On the other hand, some past years of dealing with mud in March has pushed some operators to think April may be better, so these producers may just starting their calving season. In either of the above cases some extra management might be necessary in 2012. The grass growth started earlier than normal, and in some cases the hay supply was running thin. The need to keep cows in the right direction, managing the feed supply and eventual intake is very important. This time of year for fall calving cows is the time that they need the fewest nutrients. They are at mid gestation and their nutrient demands are at the lowest. For those cows that have a 2 to 3 month old calf at their side are also getting close to breeding season. The cows in this group, as well as cows with younger calves or about ready to give birth are all at a time when they need more high quality feed. If the cows have not been put out on pasture, the hope is that they are now receiving your best quality hay and maybe some supplemental grain. The cow’s ability to have enough milk for a growing calf and be in good body condition at breeding time is critical for a successful breeding season. Conception rates will be much higher if the cow is given the nutrients she needs to do the job you want her to do. Feed costs this spring are not cheap. Before you cut too many corners trying to save some money, consider 10% less calves at market time next year. How much feed savings is worth that? Feeding just 3 pounds of a concentrate will do wonders. The amount of energy and protein in that feed may be enough to increase your calf crop. Ten percent was just a number. If you have
20 cows and 2 more cows conceive and produce a calf that more than pays for the feed. Just think it might be 3 more calves out of 20 cows. Don’t forget the other things, like a good mineral program. This is also a critical part in the cow nutrition program and essential for peak performance. The conditions for Grass Tetany are in the forecast. We have had rapid growth and the forecast calls for cooler temperatures. Also, be cautious about turning out on forages when they are wet. The risk for bloat is higher. Frosted forages are also risky at times. We will be talking about minerals at the upcoming cattle program next Monday about Anaplasmosis. Details are listed below. Dates to Remember Anaplasmosis Program An educational class for cattle producers about this fatal disease that was confirmed in herds in Adams, Brown and Highland Counties in 2011. The program will be held at Eastern Brown HS starting at 7:30 p.m. on April 16. Food will be available at 7 p.m. if you call and RSVP by noon on April 16. Call the Adams Co. Ext.

For anyone wanting a fun, festive night out, St. Mary Catholic School in Hillsboro will hold a quarter auction and spaghetti dinner at the school on Tuesday, April 24, starting at 5:30 p.m. “With plenty of great food and the excitement of a quarter auction, this will certainly be an enjoyable evening for everyone,” said Principal Mary Stanforth. According to Stanforth, quarter auctions are a type of raffle in which people bid on items using quarters and a pre-paid paddle. Anyone who wants to bid on an item will be able to put quarters in a bucket, and when all bidding is complete, a winner will be drawn at random. The winner, however, must be holding a paddle up in order to win the item, and the more paddles you purchase at the door, the more chances you have to win. “This is a terrific fund raiser for the school, and we have many great items that have been donated from several different vendors and businesses, so you will want to come with plenty of quarters,” added Stanforth. In addition to the auctions, raffle tickets will be available for two other items which have been donated to the school: a Peace Star quilt handcrafted by the Crazy Quilters, and an antique Hoosier-style cabinet donated by Ayres Antiques. Instant game tickets will also be for sale, and proceeds from

dopamine. Why would almost winning be so rewarding? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s believed to be another adaptation strategy, helping us to learn new things. Say youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re learning to play soccer and get that dopamine kick even though you miss the goal but come close. It encourages us to keep trying, that near miss is almost as exciting as a goal. This helps us to learn new skills, since we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get discouraged when we fail. Parkinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s patients who are taking these newer drugs have brains that are being flooded with a dopamine like chemical, making them very susceptible to that extra kick we get when we almost win. When the slot machine almost comes up cherries, or they almost win the football pool, their brain tells them next time they can do it, just one more chance, and the death spiral has begun. The hope now is if they can find drugs that make people become compulsive gamblers, perhaps there is a drug that can make others stop gambling. Unfortunately the mind is a complicated thing and often when we try to fix one part we end up breaking something else, but we can always hope. *** CHEMOBRAIN Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to figure out how the hinge joint in the knee or the ball in socket joint in the shoulder work â&#x20AC;&#x201D; we can look at a skeleton and see the mechanics of the joints. What has eluded us is just how the brain works. We are able to infer things by seeing what parts of the brain receive more blood flow when we are doing certain tasks, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just not possible to see it in action like a joint or muscle. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what makes todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s subject of chemobrain so difficult. Chemobrain refers to the problem cancer patients have especially after receiving chemotherapy in being able to remember things like names, dates or even a word. They also seem to have trouble concentrating and especially trying to multi-task. Since these same memory problems can be caused by fatigue, pain medications, pain, anxiety, stress and lack of sleep â&#x20AC;&#x201D; all things most cancer patients face â&#x20AC;&#x201D; figuring out the cause of chemobrain is not easy.

HEALTH MATTERS
going chemotherapy experiences chemobrain, the most common occurrence seems to be in breast cancer patients and patients who receive high dose chemotherapy. Chemobrain is also observed in some cancer patients who did not undergo chemotherapy. All of this leads to confusion as to what causes chemobrain and what can be done to prevent it. Since there is not one standardized test for chemobrain, tests done by one researcher do not correlate well with a different test done by another researcher. Also, although the tests results come in within normal limits, patients with chemobrain report having more trouble with the tests. I came across one report of twins, one of whom had chemotherapy for cancer the other didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any cancer. They had MRI scans of their brain while they were taking part in a memory activity. The twin that had chemotherapy showed on the MRI to be using much more of her brain than the twin that was healthy. In other words, even if the results that researchers are getting seem normal, these patients have to work much harder to get the same results. What should you do if you have, or think you have, chemobrain? First, tell someone: tell your family members, your colleagues and your doctors. Chemobrain is not something to be ashamed of anymore than cancer is something to be ashamed of. Family and friends are usually more than willing to cut you some slack and give you extra reminders if they think it will help. Take a family member or friend with you when you go to the doctor and ask them to take notes for you. Second, write things down. Write down things you need to do in a daily planner, then get used to looking at the planner regularly. Try to keep notes on when you have the most trouble with remembering things. The more information you have, like what time it was or what else was happening, may help you to avoid problems. Third, give yourself more time to get things done. Multitasking will just lead to trouble, so try to devote more time to one task at a time. Being rushed, and the pressure of being behind, will ultimately lead to even more problems. Finally, learning to accept a problem can help you deal with it. My daughter passed away from cancer but her motto throughout was â&#x20AC;&#x153;Smiles and laughter heal more than tears.â&#x20AC;? For the most part, chemobrain tends to fade away over time and most symptoms are gone in four to five years. If you have a question youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like me to address, stop in and see me at Pamida pharmacy, call me at 378-6849, or send an to email tomhealthmatters@gmail.com.

What could cause normal everyday individuals to suddenly become pathologic compulsive gamblers, or engage in hypersexual behavior? Believe it or not it could be their medications. These strange side effects have been seen with the newer Parkinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s drugs instead of the old stand-by of carbidopa/levodopa (if that sounds familiar, see the Blood Brain Barrier column). The newer drugs are actually dopamine agonists (see the agonist/antagonist column), and are very active in a part of the brain that is responsible for emotionally motivated memories. For instance, fear conditioning, which is where person (or animal) learns that a tone is followed by a shock they learn to fear the tone. Conversely, a tone that is followed by a reward, leads to anticipation of the reward after hearing the tone. First, a disclaimer, the rest of this will be supposition. There is no way to watch the brain as it works, so what follows is the current best guess of whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on. Compulsive gamblers, as well as other compulsive behaviors are thought to be associated with a large release of dopamine in the brain. This rush of dopamine makes you feel good so you want more. This system was not put in place to turn us into a bunch of compulsive animals, rather it is a survival mechanism. There is a good reason why we crave chocolates (or other sweets) because they are high in calories and for millennium surviving meant having enough to eat. And the more calorie dense the food was, the less we would need to eat just to survive. Another time this dopamine system gets turned on is during an orgasm. Seems pretty straight forward. The more pleasurable sex is, the more likely a species is to reproduce and spread across the globe. Although we would like to think of ourselves as a highly developed species, nature didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bother to reinvent the wheel. Our whole make-up is built upon whatever worked, and then expanding on that. Our brains have remnants of reptilian brain, the part that reacts without thinking. But how could someone become addicted to gambling? It sure wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be the winning. If they were winning there wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be a problem of ruining your family by gambling away all their resources. It sure canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be losing â&#x20AC;&#x201D; no one likes to lose. So what could it be? New research shows that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s almost winning that is so addictive: Watching the slot machine and seeing it just miss a winning spin, kicks loose the

ABCAP Senior Nutrition held it Mayors For Meals Day as a part of its March for Meals campaign. Brown County Commissioners William Geschwind and Ralph Jennings, as well as Georgetown Mayor Dale Cahall and Mt.

This was the third year that Mr. Jennings delivered meals to our senior and his continued support is greatly appreciated.” Mr. Jennings said, “I was very pleased to deliver meals to our homebound seniors. Meals on Wheels is a valuable service that provides a vital safety net for the elderly in our county.” Mr. Geschwind stated, “It was an eye opening experience to see first-hand the needs of our most vulnerable residents, the seniors. Their appreciation of these meals was a humbling experience.” This was Mayor Cahall’s second year and he said, “While helping with the delivery it was so welcoming

inclusion of Senior Nutrition Programs in the Older Americans Act (OAA). The OAA is the primary piece of federal legislation that authorizes and supports vital nutrition services, both congregate and Meals On Wheels, to Americans age 60 and older. “We thank these local leaders for stepping up to the plate and joining our mission to end senior hunger in America by the year 2020,” said MOWAA President and CEO Enid Borden. “Meals On Wheels programs are on the front lines of our battle and need support from elected leaders to continue

providing the nutritious meals and human contact that our seniors so desperately depend on.” Senior nutrition programs across the United States, like ABCAP Senior Nutrition promote March For Meals in their local communities through public events, partnerships with local businesses, volunteer recruitment and fundraising initiatives. Mayors For Meals Day is a component
of March For Meals that utilizes the involvement of local Mayors and other local elected officials. Denise Neu went on to state, “ABCAP Senior Nutrition is delighted with the response we have received from our local leaders and the community during our March for Meals campaign.
