THE BROWN COUNTY
Rick Eagan laid to rest in Ripley Family, friends and community said goodbye to County Commissioner Rick Eagan on May 12. The St. Michael Catholic Church in Ripley was filled to capacity as Eagan’s body arrived on a Ripley firetruck. Eagan was a member of the Ripley Fire Department when he passed away May 8. He was carried into the church by his fellow firefighters, with his family following behind. Once inside, a traditional Catholic funeral mass was performed as Eagan’s life was celebrated and remembered. “Rick spent his life going where most people don’t want to go. Where there was danger, where there was fear, where there was conflict...that’s where Rick went”, said Fr. Dohrman Byers . Byers pointed out that Eagan’s desire to serve
drove him to run for county commissioner, despite being nearly killed by a car in 2009. “He found another way to serve”, Byers said. Ripley Village Administrator Charles Ashmore, a longtime friend of Eagan, said via e-mail “I don’t think we could have ever done enough to honor a man who gave so much to so many. However, I feel that the ceremony was organized exceptionally well and caused those in attendance to reflect upon the things which were important to Rick and how much Rick meant to us. Rick’s daughter, Tiffany, gave one of the most eloquent and touching eulogies ever heard; she is truly a special person and her love for her father was evident. Rick would have been so proud of her. Father Byers expressed words from his heart regarding Rick that reflected the sentiments of those in attendance. Again, Rick would have been CONTINUED ON PAGE 23

Sen. Portman and Wenstrup visit Mt. Orab
BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press
BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press Ohio Senator Rob Portman and 2nd District congressional candidate Dr. Brad Wenstrup visited Brown County on May 11. The two addressed a crowd of local Republican officials and interested residents at the Lake Manor restaurant in Mt. Orab. Portman began the conversation by talking about some of the issues facing the country in Washington. “The Democrats in the Senate have not passed a budget in three years”, Portman said. “We need four more Republican Senators to change that.” Four more Republican Senators would give the GOP a majority in the Senate. He continued, “Republicans are offering real solutions to the very serious problems facing our country in regards to our fiscal problems, record deficits and debts and in regard to our historically weak economy," Portman said. "That's the reality, and the Democrats are not offering it, they're playing politics in-

degree felonies, which means that Boles will face time in prison. He will be sentenced next month. The charges were based on actions committed by Boles in the early 1990’s in Higginsport. In a press release, Brown County Prosecutor Jessica Little said “Through no fault of the victim, these offenses were not reported to authorities until many years after they occurred. The victim is now a grown woman, and has suffered severe emotional and mental trauma from adolescence through her entire adult life. Although the evil that was done to her cannot be undone, she has at last received justice.” Boles was indicted on the charges in March of 2011, with additional charges filed against him in July of that year.

U.S. Postal Service changes plans to close 3,700 rural post offices BY Martha B. Jacob The Brown County Press After fearing for the past six months that the Decatur Post Office was going to be closed down by the United States Postal Service, residents of the village can breath a sigh of relief...sort of. In September of 2011, residents of the Village of Decatur, met at the Byrd Township Building to express their concerns over the closing of their post office. U.S. Postal Service Review Coordinator Bob Redden and Andrew Glancy, Manager of Post Office Operations, answered questions about the closing for more than two hours. Residents also sent letters of complaint to the U.S. Postal Services for months protesting the closing. A couple weeks ago the U.S. Postal Service announced a new strategy that would keep the nation’s smallest
post offices open for business. Besides the Decatur Post Office, four other Brown County post offices were proposed for closing, including Bentonville, Feesburg, Higginsport and Russellville post offices. In a press release from David Van Allen, USPS Corporate Communications with the postal service, the new proposal would keep the existing post office in place, but with modified retail window hours to match customer use. Access to the retail lobby and to P.O. Boxes would remain unchanged and the town’s ZIP code and community identity would be retained. “Meeting the needs of postal customers is, and will always be, a top priority,” Postmaster General and CEO Patrick R., Donahoe said in a press release. “We continue to balance that by better aligning service options with CONTINUED ON PAGE 23

911 call by 5-year old saves mother’s life BY Martha B. Jacob The Brown County Press With his father thousands of miles away in southwest Asia in the U.S. Air Force, five-year-old Jacen Applegate, is doing a great job of taking care of things at home. On May 9, Jacen got up early to go into his mother’s
room to snuggle a little, like he often does, and he knew right away that something was wrong with his mother. Jacen’s mother Beth, a diabetic since the age of six, had forgotten to eat before she went to bed and her blood sugar count dropped dangerously low. Beth is a special education teacher at Russellville
Elementary school. “Even being a diabetic as long as I have,” Beth explained, “once and a while I just get busy doing things, then I get tired and go to bed without eating anything. “My husband Ray and I have practiced with Jacen on what to look for when my blood sugar drops. We’ve also talked to him about
what to do.” Apparently, the Applegate’s taught their son very well. When his mother wouldn’t respond to him, he immediately dialed 911 for help. He told the 911 operator what was going on and although he couldn’t exactly tell the operator where he CONTINUED ON PAGE 23

Memorial Day Services set in Fayetteville Jim McMullen, chair of the Fayetteville Village Council street committee, updated council on the cisterns in the village that have to be monitored by the Ohio Department of Transportation. “Two guys from ODOT came down a couple of weeks ago and put nails down in the blacktop over the cisterns they will be responsible for,” McMullen said. “Now they will be using their GPS equipment to quickly locate each of the seven cisterns they will be checking each year.” The seven cisterns ODOT is responsible for are located under US 50 and US 68 within the village. The other seven cisterns are located within the village of Fayet-
teville, which makes the responsibility of the village. “My understanding right now is, ODOT is trying to work out all the details on who will do the work, ODOT or a sub-contractor,” added McMullen. “It really could be a dangerous undertaking. If they send someone down in one of those cisterns they could be overcome with chemical fumes or a lack of oxygen. They better know what they’re doing.” McMullen also announced the upcoming Memorial Day services sponsored by Scanlon-Kelly VFW Post 5920 in Fayetteville. “This year we will be recognizing and remember local veterans Al Wolfer at Holy Ghost Cemetery, Ron Burton at St. Martin Cemetery and Raymond Demonge and Richard Murphy, at St.
Patrick Cemetery. “Services will be held at the St. Patrick Cemetery on Monday, May 28, Memorial Day, at the St. Patrick Cemetery beginning at 10 a.m.,” McMullen said. “We hope a lot of residents turn out for this celebration.” In other business, council discussed the upcoming Fireman’s Festival in the community which has been scheduled for September 2 and the annual ice cream social and cake raffle scheduled for September 15 on the Town Square. Village administrator Bob Campbell reported to council that he is continuing in his efforts to send out letters to residents who are delinquent on their utility payments. “Unfortunately it’s usually the same people all the time that we have problems getting our money from,”
Campbell said. “But for the most part the letters are working.” Council briefly discussed a new business that recently opened in Fayetteville called ‘Freemont Players Club.’ The business is located next to the Skyline Chili and the Family Dollar in Fayetteville. The club describes itself as a private, member’s only club which charges annual membership fees and a daily usage fee. Several games will be available for members including billiards, darts, Wii gaming and poker. Complimentary drinks and snacks will be available to members each day. Fremont Players Club is currently open on Thursday through Sundays. The next meeting of the Fayetteville Village Council will be at 7 p.m. on June 13.
The Sardinia Cemetery is one of the most beautiful cemeteries in the county. But for as long as 30 years, signs have been posted within the cemetery grounds prohibiting individual plantings of any kind. Unfortunately, through the years, many families have planted shrubs and flowers near the graves of their loved ones. “We understand why people planted these shrubs and flowers and small trees,” explained Sardinia Mayor Todd Bumbalough, “But the fact is, we have to hire the mowing to be done at the cemetery, and everything that slows that mowing down costs the village money.”
Seniors toThe meet Brown County Senior Citizens Club will hold their regular meeting on Wednesday, May 23. 2012 at the American Legion Hall in Georgetown. Potluck luncheon at l2:00 noon will be followed by an auction. Members are asked to bring items to support this endeavor. All are welcome.
Opry Classic Country Music Show in Buford

The show schedule for the Central Ohio Opry Classic Country Music Show to be held at the Old Buford School will be: • May 19, 2012 - Guest singers are Terri Barnett and Richard Martin • June 2, 2012 - Guest singers are Jennifer Bennington and Tim Villars • June 19, 2012 - Guest singers are Jenni Lyn and Rich Skaggs As always there will be refreshments and GREAT music by the Central Ohio Opry Band! Come out and enjoy the fun!!
Bumbalough said families who want to save or keep the shrubs and other plantings have until June 1 to remove them. Anything that is not attached to a headstone must be removed. Bumbalough said he and council understand the sentimental meaning in some of these plantings. “We have no intention of going in there and ripping these plantings out,” he added. “After June 1, anything that hasn’t been removed by the owners, we will take each of the plantings out and find new locations for them. We hope to place most of them somewhere back in the cemetery. Some of the plantings could also end up in the park.” For more information on the removal of the plantings from the Sardinia Cemetery,

“Disappointment is the gap that exists between expectation and reality.” This is a quote from one of my favorite authors, John Maxwell. As high school graduation is right around the corner the thought that weighs heavily on my heart is, “Are our students ready for the reality of the real world?” They have spent the last 1213 years of their life in school. This experience is supposed to have them ready to go out into society with the skills to successfully begin an employment career or further their educational endeavors. Are they ready? Do we as a society allow for them to be ready? What can be done to Christopher J. Burrows, close the skills gap? I do not have the exact numbers for the entire Superintendent Western Brown Local Schools county or even the state but I can share with you the statistics that have come from Western Brown Local Schools for the past 15 years. Year in and out we have approximately 30 percent of our students go on to higher education. Out of those 30% only about half of them end up with degrees. That leaves 85% of our graduating seniors each and every year looking for a career with simply a high school diploma. You see, when public education began the purpose was to provide a structure for discipline and basic skills that would help local industry. These skills were to be developed to the fullest so a young man or woman had the necessary skills to be employed locally. It was known during those times that the majority of students would end up working on their family farms or in the local manufacturing facilities. Schools were structured to support the needs of those times. Throughout time we have not been aggressive enough adjusting the expectations and the environments of our schools to meet the changing needs. Today our students must compete globally for employment opportunities. An interesting statistic that I recently read is that by 2015, 75% of all employers will require a college degree or some sort of skill and or technical training. In order for our schools to prepare our youngsters for this world we must change the way we do business. The message from Washington and Columbus is to increase the rigor in our classrooms and challenge students to critically think. They want us to teach our students how to think instead of what to think. I love this philosophy but it must begin with you and me. Yes, the community member, the parent, the grandparent, the relative, business owner, and all the people that touch the lives of our children. We must help young people identify their unique gifts. These gifts must be encouraged and allowed to develop without the fear of failure. We need to be extremely careful not to have them chase our dreams but yet the dreams that lie deep within them. When this happens we will quickly see their talents unwrap before our eyes. Colleges and business alike tell us that our students need to be able to communicate effectively, write proficiently, and collaborate with others in order to survive the “Real World.” Students must be challenged beyond their skill set and be encouraged to study in their areas of strength. We must destroy the perception that career and technical training is only for those that can’t survive the rigor of a comprehensive school. Let’s face it. If a person is a skilled carpenter that will show up to work, be honest, and produce quality work, he or she can do very well for themselves without racking up thousands of dollars in student loans. I have read about cases where the skilled laborer earns more over the lifetime of their career than a general surgeon. They can receive all the training they need free of charge while still in high school. If a child is academically gifted and knows they want to pursue schooling beyond high school they should have the ability to stay on the local HS campus and begin working towards the rigor of college. This can be a difficult transition at first but if supported by parents and our community, our students can be in an accelerated position to begin college. Believe it or not Western Brown Local Schools have the opportunities available to do all of the aforementioned. A student can come to us for their first two years of HS and then go to the Southern Hills Career Technical Center and be employable immediately after they walk off our graduation stage and often times before. The academically driven student has the opportunity to earn 45 college credit hours without ever leaving our campus. That translates to a college scholarship of over $10,000. Our goal is to be able to graduate 100% of students that are college and career ready. None of us knows the jobs our youth will have available to them in 10 years, but I can guarantee it will involve increased educational and or skills training. Challenge a youngster you know to begin planning their future. We have free opportunities that can be tailored to any college or career dream. Talk to your child about their future and let us know how we can help them achieve those dreams. They are only a conversation away from the rest of their lives. Western Brown Local Schools will do everything within our power to ensure your child has what they need to be successful!

Letters to the Editor
What Do You Think?
The Elephant in the Womb: A Mother's Day Reflection On Babies
Do you believe the proposed ban in Ohio on cell phone use while driving will be enforceable?
Dear Editor, Mother's Day came and went and, as I usually do, I spent a good bit of time last Sunday thinking about my mother and my children. I thought about my childhood, my pregnancies, the birth of my children and the many paths that being a daughter and a mother have led me down. This caused me to wonder (bear with me because I do have a point that you may find interesting): when did I first become a mother? When did I become my own mother's daughter? When does life begin? That is supposed to be the big question that will determine when, if at all, abortion is ethical. This is a terribly challenging question to answer and one that medical ethicists, physicians, politicians, activists, and theologians have been debating in this country for decades, if not longer. If we are brutally honest with ourselves, the answer should be clear. Most Americans would agree that once a baby is born, it is alive. While there are a few who do not support that claim, such as those who believe that the product of a failed abortion should not be provided with medical intervention,
most Americans would probably agree that once born, a baby is alive. (Just for clarity, the English translation of that last sentence is: if an abortionist accidentally does not kill a baby during an abortion procedure, that baby should be left to die.) This agreement does little to clarify the debate, though, because we know that babies are often born significantly earlier than expected and still survive, sometimes with little or no medical assistance. If these preterm babies can survive, then it stands to reason that those who are delivered full term or later were also alive at the same stage of development as those born prematurely. So, most Americans again would probably agree that whether in the womb or outside the womb, babies who could, in theory, survive outside the womb, are probably alive. It is odd, though, that in many states our laws support killing these "viable" babies if it would endanger the life of the mother to continue to be pregnant: wouldn't it make more sense to deliver the baby and try to save it, while saving the life of the mother, too? Of course that is not really the point;
The Brown County Press
sometimes I digress. The tough part of this debate has always hinged on the time between conception and "viability". That would be the time when many women find out for the first time that they are pregnant. Most women, when they find out they are pregnant are very excited and call those most important in their lives to share the news. They are congratulated. They cannot wait to get to the doctor to hear the heart beat for the first time and to see ultrasound images of their little one and learn what their due date is projected to be. Some begin to worry at that point: "Oh no, I did not know I was pregnant and I had too much wine that one time," or, "I went in the hot tub," or I would never had done many things, "If only I had known." Others say things later such as, "See that Christmas photo? You were in it, we just didn't that know yet." Clearly, these women have determined that they were pregnant with a life that needed protecting or celebrating even before they knew they were pregnant. This is the point at which we must admit that not only does life begin at conception, but we know it begins then and we have always known it, we just have not acknowledged that fact in the
format of the debate of Life vs. Abortion. If we were to acknowledge what the majority of us clearly know to be true (as evidenced by our behavior when we experience, or help to celebrate, a wanted pregnancy) we would have to acknowledge that we know the truth but choose to act contrary to that truth. We are willing to acknowledge the life of those we want, but to deny the life of those we do not want. We want the government to either stay out of the discussion completely, or to give us permission to only keep alive those whom we want. This may not bother some Americans. They may have no problem with picking and choosing who lives and who dies based on the desirability of certain people: I want to be pregnant, so this baby is precious. I do not want to be pregnant, so this life is disposable. A pregnant mother was murdered, so we will charge the killer with two counts of homicide. That abortionist needs to be given police protection so that she can safely get to work and continue to perform abortions. I hate non-Aryans, so they can be killed (oh, wait, that was not the American psyche, but Hitler's, sorry...). Jo DeFosse Russellville

No, they'll never be able to enforce it, money talks and anyone with power will be able to stop it. Brenda Donahue, Mt. Orab
Well, I think it should be enforced, but it should be fair to everyone to have the same consequences for all. Cindy Call, Fayetteville

Reader surprised at judge ruling on Moler Dear Editor, I must say I am surprised at the judge's ruling on removing the limits on the Moler Raceway. I live on route 286 which is 4 1/2 miles away from the raceway and the music is extremely loud in my backyard on the weekends. There are some nights I would have to turn my television so loud to hear it because of the noise from the cars. Last summer was really noisy. This summer
has been much better with not so much noise from the cars and speakers all day and into the evening. Obviously, living near a race track there is going to be noise, racing is a noisy business, but at the same time I feel there needs to be regulations for those living nearby. I do hope the Moler Raceway continues to keep control of the noise. Jean Johnson

THE ADVERSARY In Luke 22:31 we find a warning that Jesus gave to Peter. I believe that we also can gain some advise from this warning. It states: “And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat.” Satan wanted Peter! Do you think that he still wants people today? I do not think Satan has changed. His desire to sift people is still in affect. He would like to have you, to deceive you, to control you, and eventually destroy you. Satan wants your soul! In the book of I Peter, Peter gives us basically the same warning. Verse 8 tells us: “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:” Peter calls him our adversary. Satan is referred to by several different names and terms in the Bible. Where did he come from; who is he? Some have said that he is a fallen angel. The Bible describes him in the book of Ezekiel as the anointed cherub that covereth. This creation of God, who rebelled against God, became Satan. God did not create him as he is today. He was once a holy cherub. God created only 5 cherubs, no more, just 5. The Bible talks about millions of millions of angels, but only 5 cherubs. So no, he is not a fallen angel, nor is he a seraphim. Four cherubs are found in the Bible surrounding the throne of God. In Revelation they are described as beasts because of their appearance. They each have 4 faces: the face of a man, the face of an eagle, the face of a lion, and the face of a calf or ox. They are more fully described in the book of Ezekiel chapter 1, verses 1-11. In Revelation each of the 4 beasts, or cherubs, is described by the face which is in the view of the observer. If you are looking directly into a mirror you mainly see your front view. These beasts are in a circle around the throne, therefore, each displaying different sides of their head. They have 4 wings, however, their wings are joined together as they surround the throne making each one have 6 wings “about” them, not 6 wings each. It was one of these 5 creatures which rebelled against God. They are very important, powerful creatures. In fact, we find cherubs in Genesis 3:24 being placed at the east of the garden of Eden to keep the way of the tree of life. There are still 4 holy cherubs.
DR. CHARLES SMITH MT. ORAB BIBLE BAPTIST CHURCH WWW.BBMTORAB.COM There is only one unholy, his name is Satan. In Revelation 12:9 he is described as the great dragon, that old serpent, called the Devil. He is also described as the 7 headed dragon because he represents 7 of the world powers beginning with Nimrod and going all the way through the final revived Roman empire. We find him in Job boasting to God that he has been going to and fro in the earth, and walking up and down in it. In other words he was telling God that he was having his way with God’s creation. God allowed Satan to sift Job. We all know the end of that story. Job is twice blessed for his faithfulness to God even though Satan used Job’s health, his possessions, and even his wife and friends to discourage him. Satan is real. In Job 41 Satan is called leviathan. In Matthew 12:24 he is called Beelzebub the prince of the devils. He is described as subtil in Genesis 3:1, as a murderer and a liar in John 8:44. In John 12:31 he is called the prince of this world. He is a deceiver and there is no truth in him. But is he a victor? Absolutely not!!! In the end he is thrown into the lake of fire, there to remain for all eternity. The tragedy is that he will deceive many into going with him. Cherubim, seraphim, angels, and human all have one thing in common, they all have eternal souls. Hell was created for Satan and his angels, not for people. However, if you allow Satan to trick you into believing a lie, he will take you directly to Hell with him. In John 14:6 Jesus said: “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” Do you want to go to heaven? Don’t let Satan deceive you. You can not work your way there; you can not be good enough. Jesus said He is the only way; do you believe Him or Satan?

On Sunday, May 20, 2012, Mt. Nebo United Methodist Church invites the community to join them to celebrate the completion of their new church building. The project adds space that will enable the church to offer a better welcome to guests than the previous building allowed. The main part of the older facility, which was built in 1892, served as a wonderful tool for ministry for many years and will continue to be utilized for other ministry purposes. However, the new building will provide for greater seating and parking capacity. Worship services for the May 20th Celebration Sunday will be offered at 9 and 11 a.m. A reception and tours will be offered starting at 10:15 a.m. The Mt. Nebo congregation would be honored to have the community join them for this joyful occasion. The church is located at 11693 State Route 774 just three miles north of Hamersville.

Farmer’s Market begins June 7 in Georgetown, seven concerts planned Georgetown Mayor Dale Cahall opened the May 10 village council meeting by asking for a moment of silence in honor of Brown County Commissioner Rick Eagan who died unexpectedly May 8. Cahall also expressed his condolences to the Eagan family. As the meeting continued, Georgetown resident Susan Bean addressed council in regard to the courthouse square Open Air Farm Market. “As everyone may or may not know, the Open Air Farm Market decided not to have the farm market any more,” Bean began, “because of a lack of participation and a lack of consumers.” She continued, “I’ve talked to another group, the Rural Catholic Life Conference, which is involved with local farmers, and I been in touch with the Brown County Farmer’s Market, Incorporated, which organized in Ripley.” Bean said she is very interested in continuing the farm market in Georgetown because it was a good thing for the residents and the local farmers. “I went to some meetings and it looked like we were going to have a market at the St. George’s Church on Thursdays from 3 to 7 p.m.,” Bean said. “We thought we would catch a better audience at that hour. But for what reason I don’t know, the Archdiocese turned us down. They said they didn’t want people making a profit in their parking lot. They might lose their tax-exempt status.” Bean said she then received a call about the possibility of using the ‘Bob Lot’ (the lot on Main Street across from the Methodist Church in Georgetown). Bean said she felt the lot would be the perfect location for a farmer’s market to be

held on Thursdays from 3 to 7 p.m., if it could be approved by council. She added that the same group would be sponsoring a farmers market in Mt. Orab on Tuesdays and Saturdays. She said they are serious farmers who take operation of the market serious. The market would operate from June 7 until November 17. Council unanimously approved the location and Mayor Cahall wished the venture well. Residents Carol Myers and Kim Scheffler, members of the Courthouse Square Association, Inc., also spoke to council in regard to upcoming activities in the village. “We have seven concerts scheduled, three movie nights and a wood-carver's day,” Myers stated. Myers said the group is running on limited funds and asked council if it could help finance one of the events. Council promptly voted to sponsor one of the concerts and donated $1,000. More information on the events can be found by visiting georgetownohiospecialevents on facebook. In other business, council had the second reading of an ordinance establishing new rates and charges for the collection and disposal of garbage and refuse in the vil-
lage of Georgetown. Kelly Jones, Georgetown Village Administrator, told council that the work on the Possum Run project is continuing and the contractor is preparing the site for the large crane that will be brought in to build the new 750,000 gallon tank. He also said that the design plans for the Town Run Project should be ready
some time in June. He will be working closely with the EPA on the project and obtain its approval before the job can be bid out. “We have received the invoices from DUKE Energy on the purchase of the Villa/Georgetown Station infrastructure,” Jones told council, “And we should be able to schedule the changeover soon.”

decline in residential property values. So I thought our course was plotted. Ripley Schools’ operating millage is at 20 mill floor. After researching, we found that Ripley is just at the 20 mill floor, there’s no reduction in the millage that hasn’t been made up.” Green went on to discuss how as the values declines, the millage will be adjusted up. So there is foreseeably no net loss. He did however tell the board that he had just received information about people living in the farming community could be receiving a 2% to a 500% increase in CAUV (Current Agricul-
tural Use Value) assessment, depending on soil types. He added that because of the increase that the local farmers might receive, it could level out residential decreases. In other business at the meeting the following actions were taken following an executive session. The board agreed to: • offer a one year contract to acting superintendent Patrick Kimble effective August 1; • advertise for the lease/purchase of one new school bus; • travel out of state to Greenup County High Scholl, KY, for the girl’s basketball team;
• an agreement with Brown County Educational Services Center for services in the amount of $224,405 for fiscal year 2013; • approve three waiver days; • approve 2-hour delays or early dismissals; • approve the 2012 graduates list; • approve multiple out of state trips; • approve list of supplemental contracts for the 2012-2012 school year; • approve fine arts/extracurricular supplemental

Sardinia council approved purchase of police cruiser BY Martha B. Jacob The Brown County Press
Thank You for Donations, Volunteering, etc.

Martha B. Jacob/THE BROWN COUNTY PRESS
Todd Bumbalough, mayor of the Village of Sardinia, opened the May 14 council meeting with a moment of silence in memory of Brown County Commissioner, Rick Eagan, and Gladys Kelch, the oldest resident of Sardinia, both of whom recently passed away. Following the moment of silence, Bumbalough offered a special prayer on behalf of the families of Eagan and Kelch. Sardinia Police Chief Jim Lewis reported to council that his department had written 40 tickets with 43 violations. He added that four felony charges have been filed on one adult and one juvenile for thefts in the village. “We recovered some of the property, but not all of it,” Chief Lewis said. “We’re working hard to find out where they pawned the rest of the items.” Lewis also told council that the motor in a 2002 Ford police cruiser in his department had locked up and he had inquired about purchasing a 2007 Ford from Camp’s Safety Equipment. Later in the meeting after suspending the three reading rule, council voted to purchase the 2007 Ford at a cost of $10,400 on a four year bond, costing the village $2,600 a year. The department currently has only one cruiser which runs every day and according to Lewis, is running down quickly. Sardinia Fire Chief Chris Shoemaker presented council with his monthly report from his new computer program recently purchased for his department. He said his department had a total of 16
runs, eight of which included vehicle accidents with injuries. He also reported that the department covered one structure fire which only had $40 in damages. He said the new system in his computer was working out very well and he was learning something new about it every day. In other business council discussed the fluctuating water bill for the village. Village Administrator Tim Mock told council he was a little closer to figuring out the problem. Mock also introduced the village’s newest employee, Ray Doss, to council. Doss filled the position of part time village worker and meter reader. Mock also reported that he had been busy at the sewer plant cleaning the collectors. He explained that the catch basins had to be drained and cleaned out. They contained dirt, silt, rags and other items. “We found a hole in one of the screens in the collectors,” Mock said. “And we don’t know how long its been that way. We’re cleaning it all out, but it’s a really nasty job, that has to be done. “There are also checkvalves in each tank that were worn out.” Mock told council that he was currently waiting for the EPA to approve permits to land-apply the sludge produced by the plant. “We installed a meter at the sewer plant about a month ago,” Mock continued, “And our first reading for the first 24 hours was 10,500 gallons daily going through that plant. But since we’ve taken that screen down, it’s been about 1,200 gallons a day.” Mock said he is hoping to find a way that the EPA would allow the village to use the discharge water coming out of the plant, to wash the screens down on a regular basis, once the screen has been repaired, saving the plant 10,000 gallons of water a day. “I’ve been struggling for months,” Mock told council, “trying to find out where we’re losing water because no one has reported any water pressure being lost.

During the May 14 Village of Sardinia Council meeting, council approved the purchase of a 2007 Ford police cruiser at a cost of $10,400. Shown from left, Administrator Tim Mock, Mayor Todd Bumbalough and Solicitor Jay Cutrell.
We’ve checked all the lines. We’ve checked everything.” If the EPA will work with the village on the matter and allow it to use the runoff water, which goes into the creek anyhow, it could eliminate all the issues at the plant. Mock also reported to council that he had received an estimate from Unger Construction to take care of the problem the village is having with man hole covers. “We’ve gone through and prioritized the problems and he has itemized a proposal,” Mock said, “which will take care of about three-fourths of the man-holes for $29,998. And he’s willing to break it down into two phases.” Mock explained that Unger could do the first phase for around $25,000, then council could look at its budget to see where to go from there. He said at least 61 man hole covers have issues, but the first phase would take care of 34 of the worst cases. Mock will oversee the entire project. Council approved the initial phase of the project. Mayor Bumbalough passed out a copy of the three-year budget comparison for the first quarter for the village. The sheet compared expenses, revenue and the difference from 2010, 2011 and 2012. “Well, I’m pretty happy with these numbers,” Bumbalough told council. “We are still at minus 4.69% under, for the quarter for expenses and 3.85 % over for

Sponsored by Danny Bubp (R-Lake Waynoka) and State Representatives Terry Johnson (R-McDermott), House Bill 334 would require retailers and distributors of the drugs to participate in an electronic tracking system of the products through the National Precursor Log Exchange. It also allows the state’s attorney general to enter into an agreement with National Association of Drug Diversion Investigators, which administers the exchange, so that the information can be used by state and local law enforcement to identify and address drug-seeking

behaviors. “The National Precursor Log Exchange is the next step in fighting against illegal drug activity in Ohio,” Representative Johnson said. “It will not only strengthen law enforcement, but also alert the retailer if a person would be going over the maximum daily or monthly purchase limit on the stimulants, in which case the sale would not go forward.” The United States Combat Methamphetamine Epidemic Act of 2005 requires that retail sales of pseudoephedrine and ephedrine be regulated, including setting limits on the purchase in a single transaction of the drugs to no more than 3.6 grams per day. HB 334 applies the same limit to state law and also regulates the sale of ephedrine in the same manner already set for pseudoephedrine in state law. “If we are going put a stop to the persistent problem of illegal drug use in Ohio, including the misuse of drugs that are intended for good, it’s extremely important that we have strong oversight of what is being distributed,” Representative Bubp said. “This bill does precisely that.” The unanimous passage of HB 334 marks a continuation of efforts to halt the illegal misuse of drugs in Ohio. Last year, House Bill 93—also sponsored by Representative Johnson— was passed and signed into law to eliminate prescription drug abuse, shut down pill mills and enhance the Ohio Automated Rx Review System. HB 334 builds off of those efforts and will now move to the Ohio Senate for further consideration.

Lady Broncos capture sectional title Lady Broncos capitalize on miscues to earn fourth sectional title in seven years BY Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press

E V E N
DEER PARK-- It didn’t seem to matter what had happened to the Western Brown softball team for the first three innings in the Southwest District Division II sectional championship game against Talawanda because when the Lady Broncos got their first opportunity on Tuesday night they seized upon it. Having been overmatched their first three trips to plate against Lady Braves pitcher Caitlyn Calhoun -- she struck out the first seven Western Brown batters and eight of the first nine -- the No. 2 seed Lady Broncos began to find their way in the fourth inning when they put two runs on the board to break a scoreless tie and reversed their fortunes. The Lady Broncos, from that point on, executed their small ball approach at the plate and took advantage of

each Lady Brave miscue en route to a 7-2 win that clinched their fourth sectional title in seven years at Deer Park High School. “We took advantage of mistakes they made (especially) passed balls,” Western Brown coach Blaine Wallace said. “They didn’t field the bunt real well and we took advantage of it. I had seen them play once and knew that. Any chance we got to be in that situa-
tion, we were going to bunt.” After watching his team strike out seven times in the first two innings, Wallace talked to his team before they headed to the plate in the bottom of the third inning. Though they still weren’t able to get a hit, they finally began to make contact against Calhoun. The most notable was a long fly ball to dead center field that
nearly got out by No. 8 hitter Kristen York. The fly ball by York seemed to be the wake up call the Lady Broncos (225) needed as they went to work in the fourth. Lindsey Harvey was hit on the first pitch of the inning and advanced to second on Morgan Nickell’s sacrifice bunt. Then sophomore third baseman Josie McElroy came up with the Lady

Broncos first hit of the game and it was a big one. Her fly ball down the right field line fell in for a hit and Harvey sped around from second and beat the relay throw to give the Lady Broncos a 1-0 lead. A Lady Braves miscue kept the rally going when the next Lady Bronco hitter, Brittany Palmer, hit a grounder Calhoun snared. Instead of going to first for the out, however, she unsuccessfully tried to get McElroy at third.
Freshman catcher Morgan Fischer then came up and delivered another big hit as she beat out a grounder into the hole between second and third for an infield single as McElroy scored to give Western Brown a 2-0 lead. “We got the bunts down when we should get them down,” Wallace said of his team’s execution on offense. “We didn’t miss the bunts. Like I said, we took advantage of the mistakes they made.” The Lady Broncos added to their lead in the fifth -with plenty of help from the Lady Braves. After Bri Stacy and Harvey each reached safely on infield singles with one out, the Lady Braves battery fell apart. Despite Calhoun striking out the next three batters, two reached on passed ball third strikes. The second passed ball, on a third strike swing and miss by Palmer, allowed Stacy to score and give the Lady Broncos a 30 lead. Though Calhoun racked up the strikeouts --she ended up with 15 of them-her Lady Bronco counterpart, Nickell, may have been pitching better as she had shut the Lady Braves out the first five innings. In the sixth, however, Nickell ran into some two out trouble thanks in large part to Calhoun. Just as it seemed Nickell was rolling along towards a shutout victory, Calhoun came up with two outs and hit a home run to left center to get the Lady Braves on the board and make it 31. It seemed to rattle Nickell some as the next three Talawanda hitters singled to bring in another run and suddenly make it 3-2 before she got Francesca Lindley to strike out to end the inning. But that was all Nickell would give up. She gave up just the two runs and struck out eight batters in picking up the win. “She doesn’t strike out a lot but we’ve a really good defense and she uses it,” Wallace said of Nickell. “She throws a heavy ball.” The Lady Broncos put it out of reach in the bottom of the sixth. Their first four batters in the inning reached on dribblers or bunts right in front of the plate before passed balls scored Hope Jamison and then York to make it 5-2. A RBI ground out from Nickell and another runscoring hit from McElroy closed out the scoring as the Lady Broncos secured the win. “I’m real happy,” Wallace said of the win. “I just hope the kids aren’t satisfied. I’m not yet. We want to keep going.” To keep going the Lady Broncos will have to get past Benjamin Logan on Saturday at West Carrollton High School in the Southwest District final. Game time is set for 1 p.m.

KINGS MILLS-- There seemingly wasn’t a way that the Fayetteville baseball team could have possibly had a worse opening to their Southwest District Division IV sectional championship game than the one that unfolded during an achingly long first inning against Seven Hills on Wednesday evening. After Seven Hills hurler Ryan Ferrell struck out the side in the top of the first inning, he and his teammates went to work against Fayetteville starter Derek Peters. And what work they did against the Rockets ace. The Stingers sent 16 batters to the plate and scored 11 runs -- eight off of Peters before he was lifted after pitching just 2/3 of an inning -- in the bottom of the first inning as they quickly took all doubt out of the outcome. Despite a scrappy effort from the Rockets, they simply couldn’t recover from such a deficit and fell 13-2 in five innings to the Stingers at Kings High School. It was the Rockets second consecutive loss to Seven Hills in the sectional championship game. “He wasn’t on his game today for the most part. Like any other pitcher you have your days that you’re hot and days that you’re off,” Carlier said of Peters and the first inning. “They just hit the ball. They smoked the ball, honestly. They hit in the right spots.
They hit in the gap no matter where (the pitch) was.” The first inning got off to an auspicious start for Peters after he walked the Stingers leadoff hitter Brandon Malofsky on four pitches. An out later he gave up an infield single to Ferrell to put two on with one out. That was when Peters trouble really started. He gave up a run-scoring double to Harrison Addy that gave Seven Hills a 1-0 lead before he walked Matthew Montieth to load the bases with just one out. Back-to-back doubles brought in a combined four runs to make it 5-0 in favor of the Stingers before Peters got the second out of the inning on a ground out to shortstop Tanner Williams. But run-scoring hits from Malofsky and Brian Goertemoeller made it 8-0 and Peters day was done. Carlier brought on freshman hurler Scottie Mullis in relief of Peters and he gave up a run-scoring triple to Ferrell when his deep fly ball to center safely fell in over Rocket center fielder Dion Barber’s head to make it 9-0. An error and a single helped the Stingers add two more runs to make it 11-0 before Mullis struck out Jeff Dedeker looking to end what became a nightmare of an inning. Needless to say the inning took the proverbial wind out of the Rockets sails. “That’s a downer for the most part,” Carlier said of

the first inning. “You take out that first inning, we’ve got a ballgame.” As Carlier said, however, the Rockets continued to battle, despite the deficit, as they tried to mount a comeback. That was helped in a big way by the performance of Mullis over the final four innings. Despite giving up two more runs, Mullis pitched very well in a tough spot against a hot swinging team. “We tried him out against Cincinnati Christian -- that’s another big team in the Cincinnati area -- and he did real well against them so we decided to put him (in),” Carlier said. “He deserved to be on the mound today.” Though Mullis kept the score essentially where it was when he came in, the Rockets batters didn’t have much luck against Ferrell. The big right hander quieted the Rockets bats for much of his five innings on the mound as he racked up 10 strikeouts. But in the top of the fifth the Rockets showed a bit of life after Nick Helmers led off with a bloop fly ball that fell in shallow left for a hit. Down to their final out

two batters later, E.J. Aubry struck out but the ball got away from Seven Hills catcher Chris Brenning. His throw to first to complete the strikeout was too high for Montieth and Aubry reached safely as Helmers came around to score the first Rockets run. Taylor Smucker then punched one into right for a hit before Luke Allen beat out a high chopper over the mound for an infield single as Aubry scored. But that was all the Rockets would get as their season would come to an end thanks mostly to one bad inning. Though their 16-12 record may not show it, the Rockets had a pretty good season. They won the Southern Hills League Division II title with a 12-1 record for the second year in a row and advanced to the sectional championship for the second year in a row. “It’s above .500. It’s great. It’s not as great but as I said we played Division II, Division III schools,” Carlier said. “I’m not making excuses for losses but, for the most part, that was my plan to play better competition to win big games.”

The Eastern softball team advanced to the Southeast District Division III semi-finals with a 6-3 win over Huntington last Friday night in the sectional championship game. Eastern jumped out in front in the first inning 3-0 but visiting Huntington rallied back to tie it a 3-3 in the sixth. But that’s when the Lady Warriors (21-4) responded. Shelby Mullins hit a home run in the sixth inning to give the Lady Warriors the lead back and her teammates added two more runs to secure the win. Though it was probably a little bit of a tougher game than expected, the Lady Warriors did what they needed to do. “Like I told the girls, it’s a game of survival and we survived,” Eastern coach
Dennis Forsythe said. Forsythe also felt the Lady Warriors may have been a little rusty after not playing in over a week. The sectional championship win propelled the Lady Warriors onto the district semi-finals where they will face a familiar foe, Wheelersburg, on Thursday evening at Unioto High School in Chillicothe. The two teams met at the end of April at Symmes Valley High School in the Valley of Thunder. Wheelersburg won the first matchup 8-7 after they jumped on the Lady Warriors early for a big lead. Despite having already lost to Wheelersburg once this season, Forsythe is confident the Lady Warriors can come out on top. “I think we’ve got a good chance,” he said.

trying different grooves looking for a fast line. Despite a couple of restarts for minor spins, Whitney was in the lead throughout the event. As the two leaders would take the white flag there was some heavy traffic directly in front of them and Whitney would get boxed in heading down the backstretch for the final time. That allowed Jameson to rocket past to take the lead as he headed into turn three. Things got really interesting off of turn four coming for the checkered as the lapped car of Oberson and Jameson would make contact sending him into the front stretch wall and high into the air before rolling over and stopping just past the finish line while Jameson would cross the line and take his third feature win of the season. Whitney would come home in second position with Magner, Barry Doss and Stapleton rounding out the top five spots. The Holman Motors Modified Division had 35 cars on hand trying to make
the 20 car starting line-up and the talk was, ‘Who Can Beat Devin Gilpin?’ After winning the first five feature events of the season, it looked good for number six as Kid Dasco was able to win his heat race. Also winning heats were Doug Adkins, David McWilliams and Joe Godsey. Chris Kreutzkamp and Matt Westfall each took home a B-main event. The twenty lap feature event was one of the best seen in a long time as McWilliams and Adkins would race side-by-side for the lead with Godsey, Gilpin and Matt Hamilton in pursuit. McWilliams would lead the first seven laps before Adkins would take over but all eyes were on Gilpin and Hamilton, who were charging forward. Hamilton would get to second by lap 10 and five laps later he would take over the top spot and set sail for his first victory of the season at MRP. Adkins would come home in second with McWilliams, Gilpin and Godsey rounding out the top five positions.

Two new boating classes are being offered this summer through the Ohio Department of Natural Resources’ (ODNR) Division of Watercraft. The first class is a newly developed power boating basics course, providing novice and inexperienced boaters with the basic skills needed to properly and safely operate a power boat. The eight-hour, interactive skills course is open to the public and will be offered through September at multiple locations statewide beginning May 20 at the Division’s Alum Creek area office in Delaware County. The power boating skills course will include: * Proper on/off trailer launching and retrieval of a boat at a boat launch ramp; * On-water approach and departure from a dock procedures; * Man overboard drill, how to rescue a person in the water; * Mooring and knottying techniques; * Proper anchoring procedures; and * On-water power boat operating basics. The second class offered by the Division of Watercraft is a Close Quarters Boat Handling Course. This course is designed to teach boat operators how to effectively and safely operate their powerboats in
close quarter environments such as around docking piers and marinas. This specialized course offers various skill development activities for operators of medium-sized recreational powerboats, including how to navigate in tight spaces during variable water conditions, how to steer, stop and rotate the operational direction of a boat and how to maintain a proper lookout. The course is adapted from a similar program utilized by professional boat operators including state, local and federal marine officers. While not a certification program, the Division’s course is intended to improve the basic boat handling skills needed for safe operations in small on-water areas, especially those associated with fixed objects and other watercraft. Class size for these courses is limited. The training cost for each class is $47. Participants must be at least 18 years of age, have a valid driver’s license and be able to show proof that they have completed a boater safety education course approved by the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators. For more information on either course and to register for a class, visit www.ohiodnr.com/watercraft/.

The Holman Motor Chevette Division was the featured class at Moler Raceway Park for their Annual Hillbilly National Race on May 11. With 19 cars on hand, it was Batavia’s Derrick Davis and Georgetown’s Sean Jones who took the preliminary race titles and set the field for the 25 lap feature paying $1,000 to the winner. At the drop of the green, Davis shot out front in the Holman Motor sponsored machine leading while fifth starting Rusty Yarger made the hard charge to the second position. Throughout the race it was Davis was in front with Yarger right on his back bumper. But that was as close as he could get as Davis would claim his second feature win of the season with Yarger, Jeff Watson, Josh Francis and Jones rounding out the top five. In the Mt. Orab Ford Late Model Division, Chad Oberson and Chad Stapleton claimed heat race wins and earned front row starting spots. The feature event saw Oberson and Stapleton make slight contact on the initial start with Stapleton spinning in front of the field. Oberson would go pit side for some quick repairs and return to the tail of the field for the restart. On the restart it was Alan Magner ahead on the first lap but fifth starting John Whitney would take over the top position on lap two. It looked like Jason Jameson would take the lead on lap three but the caution would wave and the field reverted back to last completed lap with Whitney the leader and Jameson right behind him
Creature Feature Prevention is the best practice during heartworm season Heartworms are blood parasites that are transmitted by mosquitoes in much the same way malaria is spread in people. The adult worms can be 10 to 14 inches long and live inside the heart and pulmonary arteries. They cause a restriction in blood flow leading to lung disease and congestive heart failure. Heartworm disease is diagnosed in all 50 United States, with endemic areas along the Atlantic and Gulf coast and along the Mississippi river. Treatment of infection can be relatively straightforward if the disease is caught very early, or it can be very risky if the patient has advanced symptoms. Preventive medication is the safest and easiest way to avoid heartworm infection. Adult heartworms bear live young called microfilariae. They circulate in the bloodstream where they are picked up by mosquitoes taking a blood meal from the infected animal. Microfilariae can be seen in whole blood under the microscope; however, their numbers are dependent on the number of mating pairs of adults in the heart. A negative test for microfilariae does not mean that the animal does not have heartworms. An occult heartworm infection is one where no microfilariae are present. Microfilariae cannot develop into adult worms without first living inside the salivary glands of the mosquito and then being transmitted back into a host animal. Once the host is infected, over the next 6 months, they will migrate through tissue to reach the pulmonary arteries and the right side of the heart. The adult worms may live up to 7 years inside the infected animal. Dogs infected with heartworms may at first exhibit very mild and intermittent symptoms of the disease. As more adult worms invade the heart and pulmonary arteries, and as the disease progresses, coughing, exercise intolerance, inappetence (refusal to eat), and lethargy will become more and more persistent. It is common for an infected dog to have more than 30 adult worms inside the heart. Eventually, an untreated dog will succumb to heart failure. Cats are aberrant hosts of heartworms, meaning that the parasite does not typically infect them, but for some reason infection has occurred.
DAN MEAKIN CREATURE FEATURE
Immunosuppressed cats, such as those with Feline Leukemia, may be more susceptible to heartworms. Symptoms in cats are sometimes mistaken for other feline respiratory diseases such as asthma. Coughing, gagging, rapid open-mouth breathing, and weight loss are common symptoms. In many cases, cats may have fewer than 3 adult heartworms that cause debilitating disease. The treatment for heartworm disease is currently only approved for use in dogs. There is no protocol for the treatment of cats other than supportive care. Cats may be prescribed bronchodilators and corticosteroids to control symptoms. Before treatment, a blood chemistry panel is performed to check for kidney and liver problems that may delay or preclude the use of an adulticide, the drug that kills adult heartworms. Also chest x-rays are taken to assess changes in the lungs, vessels, and heart. Severity of the changes and symptoms determines whether a single treatment or a split treatment will be used
to kill the adult worms. The only drug approved is called melarsomine. It is an organically bound arsenical compound that is given by injection in the lumbar muscles of the back. One injection is administered, followed by a second one 24 hours later if the patient tolerates the medication well. In a split treatment, the dog is given the first injection followed by the series of two injections 4 to 6 weeks later. In either case, the dog must be kept confined for several weeks after the injections to avoid complications from treatment. Complications can include respiratory distress, coughing up blood, liver or kidney inflammation, lethargy, inappetence (refusal to eat), vomiting, and diarrhea. During the treatment, the doctor may prescribe an antibiotic like doxycycline and an NSAID for pain, since the patient’s back may be sore after the deep muscle injections. Medications for other specific symptoms may also be needed. Prevention is the best way to avoid heartworm disease and the risk involved with treatment (not to mention the expense). There are a number of safe heartworm preventive medications that your veterinarian can prescribe for your pet. Dr. Dan Meakin is the owner of All Creatures Animal Hospital, 1894 Ohio Pike in Amelia.

to assist those that serve. Coups for Troops’ goal is to help make the lives of soldiers and their families a little easier by shipping coupons right to their door. The only available store for the soldiers to shop in is the commissary on base, and there are no off brands to buy, only name brands. The coupons sent to them do not expire until six months after the expiration date which also enables them to use the ones that others would throw away. The Study Skills class has taken it one step further and has become pen pals with the mother of the Great Britain family. She has responded with individual letters to questions from each of the students. The students now understand the culture, lifestyle, music, fashion, and history of Great Britain. Junior student Priscilla Wagner said, “I now know more about Great Britain and their capital, London. I can’t wait to visit someday.” The family has sent the students treats from Great Britain so they can experience the noticeable difference in candy. The students have really enjoyed this project and hope to continue contact with these families next year. It has been a very successful project that has impacted so many lives.

Hamersville Elementary prepare for O.A.A. testing (Above, left) In light of the upcoming O.A.A. tests, Hamersville students decided to encourage one another this year. Students in grades 3-8 at the Hamersville School Building are required to participate in these important tests each year for the state of Ohio. Students wanted to encourage the hard work of other grade levels by writing letters. Students in grades k-8 wrote letters of encouragement to another student in a different grade level. The letters were exchanged last week. It was a nice way to encourage and recognize all the hard work of every student in our school. Pictured above left are Lacey Patten (kindergarten) and Maddie Comberger (8th grade). (Above, right) Students were also treated to a pep rally on the Monday before testing began to remind them of all they have done to get ready this year. They were entertained by Mrs. McKinney, Ms. Pride, and most of their teachers while being reminded of good test taking skills. Good luck to all students who are taking the O.A.A. these couple of weeks! Pictured above right are Mindy Pride (asst. principal) and Peggy McKinney (principal).

spoke about how he was “saved by the belt” this past December when his truck was struck in the side and totaled by a roll-back tow truck. Dr. Lodwick, who walked away from the crash without injury, said that his crash was a perfect example of why it’s a good idea to buckle up even if you’re “just going down the street” or “only driving a few minutes from your home”. Safe Communities recognized Dr. Lodwick as “Saved by the Belt” with a commemorative certificate and a ringing of the county’s Bicentennial Bell.

the award for the Best Overall Seat Belt Program Intervention. Sue Basta, Safe Communities Project Director, also thanked and recognized the donors who made these awards possible: Brown County Motors LLC, First State Bank, John Wood Insurance Agency, County Prosecutor Jessica Little, Dwight Marriott and Paula Gray, Paul Hall & Associates, Ron Kallam Insurance and Realty, and Seip’s Auto Parts and Service LLC. Brown County’s current seat belt use rate is 80%, and the Safe Communities Coalition’s goal is to raise that to at least 85% this summer. So to
conclude the ceremony & to promote buckling up, Brown County Commissioners Ralph Jennings and Bill Geschwind presented a Click It Or Ticket Seat Belt Proclamation for Brown County. If you don’t already have the habit of always fastening your seat belt, this would be a good time to start this lifesaving habit. Set a good example for your kids and grandkids, too. Please have a safe Memorial Day holiday and summer, and buckle up every time, every ride. Remember—Click It Or Ticket! Brown County Safe Communities (BCSC) is a participant in the Ohio Safe
Communities program, which was developed through the Ohio Department of Public Safety to establish and expand community partnerships to create safer, healthier communities throughout Ohio. Funded by the U.S. Dept. of Transportation/National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Ohio Dept. of Public Safety/Office of Criminal Justice Services-Traffic Safety Section, BCSC is administered by HEALTHUC and the University of Cincinnati AHEC Program. HEALTH-UC’s office is located at 114 East State Street, Georgetown, OH.

According to the Ohio Department of Public Safety, failure to buckle up is a factor in more fatal crashes than any other traffic safety-related behavior. May 14th through June 3rd is this year’s Click It Or Ticket (CIOT) seat belt campaign period in Ohio, and the Brown County Safe Communities Coalition held its CIOT campaign kickoff on May 16th at the office of the Brown County Commissioners. The event began with introductions followed by a moment of silence in honor of the late County Commissioner Rick Eagan, who was a Coalition member himself and who had dedicated many years of his life to public safety in Brown County. Lt. Randy McElfresh, Commander of the Georgetown Post of the Ohio State Patrol, stressed how important seat belts are for reducing fatal and serious injuries in traffic crashes. He stated that OSP troopers and other law enforcement officials will be out during the Click It Or Ticket mobilization period around the clock this year to convince drivers that it’s important to buckle up day AND night.

Portman and Eagan laid to rest in Ripley Wenstrup visit Democrat Senator Sherrod Brown this year. Portman said that many good bills are coming out of the Republican-led House of Representatives only to be stopped in the Senate. "The house has passed over 40 pieces of legislation that the Senate won't pick up, and the house is the Republican part of the three branches, out of the House, Senate and the Presidency. The Democrats have two of the three, and what are they doing to help improve the economy?" Portman then introduced Wenstrup, who talked about his background and his desire to enter public service. In 1998, Wenstrup said he joined the Army reserve, finally deploying to Iraq in 2005. "In 1998 at 39 years old, I saw our country being attacked again and again. I thought if they ever need to call up reserves, I want to be a part of it," Wenstrup said. "In 2005 I was called up and for one year I was in Iraq. I was the chief of surgery at a combat support hospital." Wenstrup said he decided to become active with the Republican party after he returned from Iraq, and ran for Mayor of Cincinnati in 2009. Wenstrup lost, received 46 percent of the vote. Wenstrup then took time to honor Jean Schmidt, the current 2nd Congressional District Representative, and promised action on the jobs front in the district. "I think Jean did a good job for us over the years and I know she made great relationships here in this county, and I intend to do the same," Wenstrup said. "I look at our district and I'm going to build a logo that has route 50, route 32, route 52 and the river and says "we're open for business" because I intend to be
an ambassador for this county." Portman then spoke again, taking a moment to honor County Commissioner Rick Eagan, who died May 8. “There are a lot of good friends of Rick Eagan in this room. What a great guy and public servant. Our hearts and our prayers go out to his family.” Portman then asked for a moment of silence in memory of Eagan. Earlier in the meeting, Brown County Republican Party Chairman Paul Hall said that the party would not fill Eagan’s seat on the county commission “for a few weeks out of respect to Eagan and his family.” Hall said that anyone interested in serving out the remainder of Eagans term needed to get an application from the Brown County GOP and return it prior to noon on May 31. “The executive committee will screen those applications and interview the candidates on June 7 at the party meeting and a decision will be made that night”, Hall said. The candidate would be appointed on June 8 to serve until January of 2013. The seat will be contested by the GOP and Democrat parties in November, with the winner completing the remainder of Eagan’s term, which ends in January of 2014. Following the meeting, Portman and Wenstrup met briefly with The Brown County Press. Both men expressed the importance of local economic development and promised to continue to work in congress to develop further opportunities for jobs in the region. Portman also referred to efforts he is making in the Senate to have better communication between doctors and pharmacies across state lines to help prevent prescription drug abuse.
U.S. Postal Service changes plans CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 customer demand and reducing the cost to serve. We’ve listened to our customers in rural America and we’ve heard them loud and clear...they want to keep their post office open. We believe today’s announcement will serve our customers’ needs and allow us to achieve real savings to help the postal service return to long-term financial stability.” Originally the U.S. Postal Service planned to close 3,700 rural post offices by next week, but because of the massive number of rural residents complaints, they came up with the new proposal. The new proposal would
cut the operating hours as follows: • Decatur from open 8 hours a day to 2 hours; • Bentonville from 6 hours to 2 hours; • Feesburg from 8 hours to 2 hours; • Higginsport from 8 hours to 4 hours; • Russellville from 8 hours to 6 hours. The new strategy would be implemented over a twoyear, multi-phased approach and would not be completed until September 2014 according to the press release. If the proposal is approved and implemented, the postal service estimates savings of a half billion dollars annually.
Fire Department meant so much to Rick and again he would have been proud. Rick will be sorely missed by more people than he realized. I will miss Rick for
the rest of my life but I was honored to be involved in a ceremony giving tribute to the shortened life of a true American Hero and a GREAT friend.”
Eagan was taken to Maplewood Cemetery in Ripley, passing under two firetrucks and a large American flag that was erected as a tribute.

He’s a very good boy.” The Sardinia Life Squad was the first to respond to the 911 call. Because of the quick thinking of Jacen, Rob Wilson, of the Brown County Communication’s Center presented Jacen with a
plaque of appreciation acknowledging his quick thinking and staying calm. Jacen was presented with the plaque during a special ceremony held at his school on May 14. His father was also able to watch the event by way of Skype. He took the opportunity to thank his son for his actions. Brown County Sheriff Dwayne Wenninger also attended the event and presented Jacen with a plaque and referred to Jacen as a hero for knowing what to do in an emergency situation. Jacen said that he takes care of his mommy and his mommie takes care of him. “I am very proud of my Jacen,” Beth said with an emotional voice. “He is my hero.”
