PRESS Report: Aberdeen shouldn’t build plant BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press An engineering firm is advising the Village of Aberdeen to abandon the idea of building a water plant. The village hired Jones and Henry of Cincinnati to conduct a feasibility study on the water plant issue earlier this year. The report was presented to council on July 1. The report takes into account the costs of both options and said either choice will raise the monthly water bills of residents, and lists the estimated cost of building a water plant at $2,964,400. According to the figures provided in the report, an average usage of 7756 gallons per month

would generate a water bill of $84.16 per month if a water plant is built in Aberdeen and $75.13 if the system is absorbed into the Brown County Rural Water Association. The report assumes that the bond funds borrowed to build the plant will be repaid in either case. That expense is listed as $221,600 per year. Contracting with the BCRWA would also cost the village $52,560 per month. The estimated water bill increase is broken down for the two options. If the village builds the water plant, the report estimates that water bills for residents will increase by $32.26 per month. That figure includes, the bond repayment, annual operating expenses and other

debts. The estimated monthly increase to residents if the village chooses the BCRWA is listed at $16.73. That includes the bond repayment and the payment to BCRWA, minus operating expenses. Village Council Member Billie Eitel made her choice clear following the meeting. “I have never supported the idea of a new water plant and I never will”, she said. Council Member Jay Castle disagreed. “I think it’s crazy to borrow millions of dollars, not get anything out of it and then have to pay it back anyway.”, he said. One issue not addressed in the report is the CONTINUED ON PAGE 10

Sheriff, Prosecutor sued for $500K BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press A former Brown County sheriff’s deputy is suing Brown County Sheriff Dwayne Wenninger and Brown County Prosecuting Attorney Jessica Little for $500,000. Both are being sued in their capacities as elected officials and individuals. Frank Lambros is claiming Abuse of Process and Fraud following his retirement from the Brown County Sheriff’s Office in July of 2011. In his complaint, filed June 28 in Brown County Common Pleas Court, Lambros claimed that he retired under the threat of being prosecuted for “theft in office”.

Lambros claims that the issue began in February of 2011 when he signed up for an auxiliary detail. Another deputy attempted to bump Lambros from the list, and the claim reads that Lambros attempted to print the duty logs for one day to prove his case for remaining on the detail, but “mistakenly printed duty logs for a significantly longer period of time, and the printed pages numbered in the hundreds.” The claim continues that Lambros “took the mistakenly printed pages, which only had print on one side, to his cruiser, intending to use the blank sides of the pages as note paper for his investigations.” The activity of Lam-

bros was noted on cameras in the sheriff’s office, and he was suspended one week later by Wenninger pending an investigation. Upon arriving home, the claim reads that Lambros noted that his home had been searched by “Deputies of Defendant Wenninger”. The claim then notes that Lambros was relayed a message from Brown County Sheriff’s Office Chief Deputy John Schadle that “if Plaintiff (Lambros) agreed to surrender his commission and never be a peace officer again in the state of Ohio, and released Defendant Wenninger and his office from all liability, then the issue of criminal charges would be dropped. Plaintiff was CONTINUED ON PAGE 10

Georgetown IGA could reopen BY Martha B. Jacob The Brown County Press Georgetown Village Solicitor Jay Cutrell told members of the Georgetown Village Council that an area businessman is trying to obtain a beer and wine license with plans to purchase and reopen the Provided/ The Brown CounTy Press

Georgetown IGA Grocery in Georgetown, (formerly Goessling’s IGA). The IGA Store closed it’s doors to the public earlier this year in April. Goessling tried to sell the business at that time but was unable to find a buyer. Cutrell explained to council, at its June 27 meet-

ing, that there are no liquor license’s available in Georgetown so the interested buyer is in the process of applying for a transfer of a liquor license from another municipality. “I’ve heard of this before,” Cutrell said. “When a municipality has more liquor licenses than they

can use, they can be transfered to another municipality. In the state’s point of view, it’s a watch over quotas in the state. So if he does obtain the license, council has to approve it.” Cutrell continued, “The mayor has to sign a letter addressed to the State of CONTINUED ON PAGE 10

Warren will be paid $3925.00 for his efforts by the Brown County Commissioners. The three principals, Wenninger, Varnau and Little, were in the same room once, on June 3, according to Warren’s bill. Wenninger said that he didn’t sign the agreement because he and his deputies were already following Ohio law. “My people are protected as long as we follow the law”, Wenninger said. “I am not going to sign an agreement that I feel could expose them to criminal charges if someone goes back on their word.” Wenninger was referring to state law that allows the coroner to file charges against anyone who interferes with a body at a death scene. Varnau said that she will follow the protocol whether Wenninger signs it or not. Responding to a request for comment via email, she wrote “At our CONTINUED ON PAGE 10

SSCC breaks ground in Mt. Orab BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press The long awaited groundbreaking ceremony for the Mt. Orab campus of Southern State Community College took place June 28. The new campus will be a 50,000 square foot, two story building. The total cost for the project is ap-

proximately 14 million dollars. State and local dignitaries, Southern State representatives and a crowd of about 100 all celebrated the event as critical to the future success of Brown County and southern Ohio. “This is a historic day that will change the dynamic in Brown County for

decades to come.”, said Mt. Orab Mayor Bruce Lunsford. “I’ve been to many groundbreakings and ribbon cuttings, but for the future of this part of Ohio, this is bigger than any of those.” Southern State President Dr. Kevin Boys echoed the sentiments of Lunsford,

saying the location of the new campus would be a key to its success. “When you look at all the traffic passing by us on (State Route) 32, that speaks largely to why we are here on this site. I think the people in Brown County and beyond will see this campus as an inviting CONTINUED ON PAGE 10

A special prosecutor hired by the Brown County Commissioners to create a written protocol between the Brown County Sheriff and Brown County Coroner for death investigations has said the effort did not work. C. David Warren, in a letter to the commissioners dated June 26, said that he had met with Brown County Sheriff Dwayne Wenninger, Brown County Coroner Dr. Judith Varnau and Brown County Prosecuting Attorney Jessica Little “on several occasions” during his effort. Warren wrote, “Even though I felt we were making excellent progress toward a protocol regarding death investigations, I unfortunately must inform you that no agreement could be reached. I am also of the opinion that any further attempts to reach an agreement would not be successful.”

THE BROWN COUNTY

Murder suspect back in county BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press Joe Trzeciak is in the Brown County Jail facing murder charges. Trzeciak appeared before Brown County Municipal Judge Joe Worley on July 1 and pleaded not guilty. Worley set bail for Trzeciak at half a million

dollars. He has another hearing in municipal court scheduled for July 17, when he is expected to appear with an attorney. Trzeciak was arrested in White Cloud, MI by Michigan State Police on June 9, following a shooting at the Hyde Park apartments in Mt. Orab on June 7. The victim in the shooting

was James Mootispaw. His brother Darrell identified Trzeciak on a 911 call as the shooter. Mt. Orab Police Chief Bryan Mount said that investigators from the Attorney General’s Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation were assisting his department with evidence gathering and analysis, as

well as rendering other assistance. In a press release issued June 10, Mount thanked Attorney General Mike DeWine, the Michigan State Police, the Ohio Highway Patrol, the Clermont and Brown county sheriff’s offices and the Mt. Orab Fire Department for their assistance in the case.

BY Carol Stivers John P. Parker Historical Society President The John P. Parker Park in Ripley was dedicated on Sunday, June 23, 2013. The dedication was opened and closed with musical numbers by the local dulcimer group called "Banks of the Ohio" playing and singing civil war and Patriotic songs. The introductions were given by Carol Stivers, President of the John P. Parker Historical Society. Board Members present were Wanda Taylor-Smith, Vice President, Roberta Platt, Secretary, Faye Popham, Treasurer, Betty Campbell, Caroline Miller, Lee Walters and Carol Stivers, President. The Park was constructed in 2012 after 7 years of planning. Funds for the Park came through a Brown Field HUD Grant, that was to transform a former industrial site into a Green Space. The Park Committee worked closely with the Village of Ripley while constructing the Park. The Village of Ripley was represented at the dedication by Ripley Council Members Roberta Sidwell and Linda South. Ron Roberts of Roberts Engineering was present and spoke of the planning and the symbolism that was put into the park. Such as, the curving and winding sidewalks represent the many and varied paths that escaping slaves took on their journey to freedom, The plantings of

feather reed grass on the mound at the edge of the Park represent the many obstacles that escaping slaves had to endue. Even the tree planting represent John Parker leading slaves to freedom. Eagle Scout, Ronnie Loebker was present. Ronnie's Eagle Scout project was making a base to display the Sugar Mill that John Parker manufactured in his Ripley foundry. The Sugar Mill is now being restored and will soon return to the Parker Park for permanent display on the concrete base that Ronnie Loebker has made possible. Steven Newman, Worldwalker, who is serving as the Honorary Chairman of the 2013 John P. Parker Annual Appeal, spoke of his admiration of John Parker and the work Parker did as an Underground Railroad Conductor in his effort to help slaves escape to freedom. As he has walked around the World he has found that it is the desire of all people to be free, but yet slavery is still going on in some parts of the World. At the close of the dedication refreshments were served. About 40 to 50 persons attended. As the day was very hot he dedication of the Park took place inside the Parker House Museum at 300 N.

tion. The program helps students set goals, complete a planning process and take action, develop positive relationships with family and friends, grow as leaders and improve communication skills. “As an adult learner,” Garrett continued, “I have continue to be interested in learning more about leadership. So, by volunteering to teach the personal growth and leadership development class at Eastern I will have the opportunity to share with teens some of the key concepts that I’ve learned.” Garrett said the curriculum for the class will focus on the work of the father and son duo, Stephen and Sean Covey, and their respective books, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens. “My goal for this course is to help empower these students to set and

achieve personal goals,” she continued, “while they learn to positively influence others. Over the years I have been motivated by a quote from Zig Ziglar which states...... ‘Your attitude, not your aptitude, will determine your altitude.’” Garrett stated that it is her desire for students to develop ‘can do” attitudes. “Throughout the course I plan to incorporate my collection of quotes from the book I wrote and selfpublished titled, “The Journey Continues.” The fee for the course will be $20 which pays local, state and national dues for FCCLA membership. Class schedule will be on Tuesdays and Thursdays, sixth period. For more information on this program contact Garrett at (937) 515-8738 or email joan.garrett@brown.k12.o h.us.

RAPTURE

Forget about what is going on in the Middle East as far as the ‘rapture’ is concerned. Be aware of the goings on in the Middle East as far as their salvation in concerned. Why? If they leave this world without Christ the Lord, then there is no hope for them. Tragic! There has never been two ways to go to the Father. Jesus is clear, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the father except through me.” (John 14:6) Jesus does not say, except the Jews who will have their own way some day after the ‘rapture.’ The word rapture means simply, ‘taken up’. There will be but one return of our Lord and Savior. Then we will be taken up. He will come and judge the world at that time. (Matthew 24:36-25:46; II Thessalonians 1:5-10) Eternal destinies will be determined. In fact, at our death our eternal destiny has been fixed. You cannot be bought out of Hell with earthly offerings as some teach. God does not want anyone to perish. Anyone! But he has set the standard that is the same for all. We must go through Jesus. It is a decision we must all make individually. No ‘collective’ salvation as some teach. It is an individual choice that has eternity in mind. We must repent of our sins. We must confess the Name of Jesus. We must be immersed for the remission of sins and gift of the Holy Spirit. Then, we must be faithful. (Acts 2:38; Galatians 3:26-7.) Not hard to understand is it, friends? Heaven awaits. That mansion is ours in Glory Land! (John 14:2. Love that verse!) We are indeed saved by grace through faith in this way. (Ephesians 2:8-9) Thank-

you Jesus! Consider: There will be no restoring of Israel. The destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple makes that pretty clear. God said (in AD 70) that the Old Testament ways of worship are gone. There is a Lord of Lords, King of Kings that we now follow and worship. No new Temple will be rebuilt. The new and final Priest has arrived! He is Christ the Lord! Consider: The Lord’s church was not some mistake or ‘stop-gap’ measure taken by God, as some suggest. Jesus died for his church. God made Jesus the head of his church. The church is therefore the New Israel. (Romans 2:28-29; 9:6-9; Galatians 3:7-9; I Peter 2:9-10; etc.) God says, this is it folks! Get on board the New Testament church for that is God’s final call for Heaven. He wants everyone with him there! Consider: Since the church is the spiritual fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies, then the church is a spiritual Temple. There will not be in the future a physical Temple built where sacrifices will again be performed. No need for blood Sacrifices. (Hebrews 10:1-18) We are called priest of God offering spiritual sacrifices. (Hebrews 13:15-16; I Peter 2:4-5) Consider: The kingdom of God exists in the form of the church. After the church age will come Heaven. Simple, isn’t it, friends. Don’t get all confused by man’s teachings. Find yourself approved of God through his words. Amen! “All the churches of Christ send greetings.” Romans 16:16

Honoring the sacrifices of our military heroes Each House session begins with the Pledge of Allegiance and a prayer from a guest pastor or minister. It is a time for reflection and contemplation about the many blessings that we enjoy as Americans. Last month, during what is called the Ohio Military Medal of Distinction ceremony, we were reminded once again about how fortunate we are that brave men and women are willing to fight for our country. Sadly, not all of them return home alive. The House and Senate gathered together for a joint session to honor the families that

DOUG GREEN have suffered the loss of loved ones while in uniform. It was the first time that I had been a part of the Medal of Distinction, which has been held annually since 2009. In all, the families of 16 men representing all branches of the military were on hand to accept the medal. As you can imagine, the

ple who put their bodies in harm’s way to preserve the same rights and liberties that previous generations had fought for. We should make it a part of our regular lives to occasionally stop and offer thanksgiving for the selfless sacrifices made by our fellow countrymen. Above all else, that was the message I took away from the ceremony. If you have not had the opportunity, I encourage you to watch the ceremony. It can be viewed online at http://www.ohiochannel.or g/MediaLibrary/Media.asp x?fileId=139074.

What Do You Think?

Have you ever done Why trust in government is at an all time low anything you shouldn't In my youth, I always that “the buck stopped” planned, and largely un- have done with fireworks? had a strong faith in those constitutional fourth with them. who were chosen to lead. I felt confident in the character of Pope John Paul II and Ronald Reagan, as well as Sparky Anderson managing the Cincinnati Reds’ “Big Red Machine.” And while my faith was occasionally tested by events like Watergate, there was always a general confidence that our leaders were good people trying to do the right thing. But now, it’s no wonder Americans don’t trust their government anymore. Our Founders originally entrusted “we the people” to safeguard America’s newly established liberties. The Declaration of Independence says that “Laws of Nature and of Nature's God” entitle the people, not the government, the right to governance. As we see today, there’s a reason that the federal government and its army of bureaucrats were not granted this sacred responsibility.

DR. BRAD WENSTRUP US CONGRESS Don’t get me wrong, I came of age politically under the shadow of Watergate. Nixon’s misdeeds were a shocking breach of the public trust that vaulted many into a modern age of cynicism. It was a time when our core faith in public institutions was fundamentally challenged. Yet, even as a teenager in the 1970s, I recognized our leaders had done wrong. But just as importantly, I understood that those who did wrong were held responsible, and we witnessed a standard be set. Going forward, perhaps naively, I hoped government officials would be honest and therefore trustworthy. I hoped for leaders like Harry Truman who felt

Pledge of Allegiance and opening prayer seemed a little more special during this occasion. The men we were paying tribute to that day all made a commitment to our country to stand together and fight together so that we may maintain “liberty and justice for all.” Thousands more continue to make that same commitment every day. The United States is, and always has been, a special place. I think that it can be easy to live each day without taking time to recognize the things that make it so special, namely the peo-

that... “there is no economy for the county in the continued operation” of tourism, and further claim that tourism doesn’t bring revenue into Brown County. perhaps they didn’t have time to read state reports regarding this important source of revenue. The state completes a bi-annual study on the tourism industry and in the last report (issued for 2011), the economic impact to Brown County was $4.3 million. Despite the reasons for closing the tourism department, the commissioners will spend money on a contract with the Chamber of Commerce to provide...”economic development of tourism.” Why close one office, just to shift the responsibilities to another: Obviously, they believe tourism can be run from behind a desk. Tourism is much more detailed than answering a phone call or mailing out a brochure. Tourism is being active; marketing the region through personal contact and media contacts, attending state meetings for guidance on important new legislation and upcoming campaigns, participating in trade shows, representing our county locally and statewide, and always learning better ways to support the region. The people I know in Brown County certainly will not let our misguided commissioners stand in their way. They will continue to volunteer their time, pour their hearts and souls into their businesses and open their doors to travelers passing through. Skip Bollinger Georgetown

A decade later, President Reagan governed on the phrase “trust but verify.” This holds true to the Founders’ original design for our government, with three branches that act as a series of checks and balances on each other, working to safeguard the American people from the overreach or abuse of power by one branch. Now, it seems to be markedly different. Today, we are facing serious breaches of the public trust, each uniquely disarming. The IRS is targeting Americans for their political views and the Department of Justice is labeling journalists as co-conspirators, simply for exercising their First Amendment rights. We in southern and southwest Ohio take pride not only in hard work, but honest work. These current scandals fly in the face of the very principles and ethos we stand for and live our lives by. They insult the values of our military men and women, who take up arms to defend this country. We face a government so vast that those who are in charge now claim that full accountability is impossible. They claim that government is too vast to hold accountable! Every day, I am working to find ways to make government smaller, more efficient, more streamlined, and more responsive to hardworking taxpayers. But we cannot let the very people who support and promote the rampant growth of government to then abdicate any responsibility for scandals that are produced within this bureaucratic sprawl. We are at the point where an unannounced, un-

branch of government has taken root. Dominated by unelected bureaucrats, these federal departments and agencies are churning out rules and regulations at an unprecedented pace. According to one study, federal agencies finalized nearly 3,000 rules and over 60 major regulations in 2007. That same year, Congress enacted 138 public laws. To this end, one of the first bills I cosponsored upon being sworn in as a member of Congress was the REINS Act, H.R. 367. This bill increases accountability for and transparency in the federal regulatory process by requiring Congress to approve all new major regulations. No longer would bureaucrats in the fourth branch go unchecked, and the Constitutional balance our Founders deliberately drafted would be restored. These current scandals do not just challenge our right to a free press or a non-political tax code; they harm the very notion of our trust in government. These breaches in the public’s trust extend beyond the here and now: the IRS will never quite be trusted, journalists will have a heightened suspicion of the feds, and the public will second guess official narratives. Every coin and every bill we use bears the phrase “In God We Trust.” Sadly, today our trust tends to stop there; I don’t recall hearing “In Government We Trust” very often. We can never give up the constant vigilance required to safeguard our liberties and restore our trust in government. I will not give up on the goodness of the American citizen, and the possibility of responsibility and trust.

Dear Editor, Brown County is fortunate to have so many citizens who take pride in their community. These efforts are reflected in the events and projects that take place throughout the county. It’s a very special collection of activities, services, entertainment, lodging, restaurants and retail shopping. All of this helps to attract travelers into our region, who spend money in our stores, restaurants and establishments. Visitors who enjoy the hospitality of the county and meeting new people may even return, and perhaps decide to open their own business or reside here. It is what brought my family to the region. This is called tourism. Tourism is the primary motivation for traveling. It is also the world’s largest industry. Last month, Brown County Commissioners made the decision to close our Tourism Department and dissolve our Visitor’s Bureau. They also voted to repeal the county’s lodging tax, citing....”there is no necessity for the continuance of the tax.” Unfortunately, the lodging tax was never enforced and the county was never able to feel the real impact it could have made. What bothers me most is that these important decisions were made without input from the director of tourism, the visitors bureau board of trustees or public input. If any notice of a public meeting or hearing was made, it was not published with proper notice. I have talked with many people who would have attended, myself included. The commissioners cited

Ripley music store, ROCKS, offers everything for musicians including recording studio BY Martha B. Jacob The Brown County Press Sardinia resident Bill Robinson decided in 2011 to open a music store in Ripley. He and wife Darcy named it ‘Red Oak Creek Kollaborative Studio’. The name, however was later abbreviated to ROCKS. “I used to travel to Maysville as a child to visit a favorite aunt,” Robinson said. “I always loved traveling through Ripley and always thought of settling here some day. “We moved to the Sardinia area, but I opened ROCKS on Third Street in downtown Ripley. This is a really nice village.” ROCKS Music Store is operated by Bill and his friend Will Baker. ROCKS is a distributor for Jim Dunlop and Line 6 amps. Robinson said he will soon carry Ibanez guitars. The store also offers ESP/LTD guitars, Shure microphones and a full range of accessories from Ernie Ball, D’Addario, Elixir, Korg, Martin, ProMark, Vic Firth, Evans, Remo, Planet Waves and a variety of others. “We also offer lessons, sales and service and repairs on all brands,” Robinson added. “We have drum heads by Remo and Evans and sticks, picks, straps, cords and pedal boards.” But among the things Robinson is most proud of is the live sound production and PA rentals the store has available. “We have our own digital recording studio right here on the premises,” he added. “We offer full production services from start to finish, mixed and mastered.” Robinson said he just recently recorded a Connie Durham CD (Daydreams About Heaven by Connie Durham). Since 2012, the ROCKS studio has recorded many other recordings including several gospel groups as well

as a heavy metal band. “By September of this year we will have all our new digital equipment hooked up and our studio will be top-of-the line,” he added. “Most of our customers, of course, are musicians. We have over 1,700 followers on our facebook account and work with musicians all over the country. We are listed on craigslist as well as ebay.” Robinson said he opened ROCKS because he saw a need in the Brown County area for a good music store and recording studio. He wanted to supply products to musicians who didn’t want to drive to the city to buy. “If we don’t have it on hand here at ROCKS,” Robinson said with a smile, “I can get it.” When asked why he got into the music store business his response was... “I am a bass player myself and know first hand, how important is to have good equipment.” Robinson is a member of The 505’s Band along with other local musicians including:

Mt. Orab resident says ‘bye-bye birdie’ to visiting homing pigeon who lost his way Several weeks ago, Carol Vance of Mt. Orab watched a beautiful pigeon as it walked around her garage. He was thin and she feared that the bird might be hurt and unable to fly. “I watched him walking around and he seemed to be lost,” Vance said. “He let me walk right up on him, and I was able to put him in a large cage that I had. I was afraid a cat would get him. He was a be autiful pigeon and not at all afraid of me. He seemed quite at home in the cage.” Vance said that she didn’t quite know what to do with the bird so she called the police department who told her to bring the bird up to their office. “I met with Mayor Bruce Lunsford and the zoning commissioner, Adrian Shaw,” she said. “He took the bird overnight to see if he could find out more about the pigeon from the information on the two bands on his legs.” Shaw read the information on the pigeons band and immediately contacted his son Bruce, in Florida. “My son got on line and found out who actually owned the bird, Richard Clayton, who lived in Maryland,” Shaw said, “He talked to Mr. Clayton for about 15 or 20 minutes. “He told us that the bird, who’s name is ‘Homey,’ had been dropped off in Indianopolis a couple weeks ago, along with 19 other pigeons, during a homing pigeon race.” Clayton is a member of

the American Racing Pigeon Union. His group is called the Capital City Racing Pigeons. According to Shaw Clayton was happy to hear that his pigeon was still alive. He said that when the bird landed at Mrs. Vance’s house, he was probably looking for water from her pool and something to eat. “Mr. Clayton said that Homey was one of 20 birds released near Indianopolis. Only seven of the birds had returned,”Shaw said. “He said that Homey had lost his way and didn’t have the strength to fly on home.” Shaw was also told by the owner of the bird to release him just west of the village, and hopefully he would catch the western winds and head for Maryland. The bird was eventually turned loose by Shaw at the girls soft ball field in Mt. Orab, but jus t a few minutes later, arrived safely back at the Vance home. Shaw said the birds owner told him that if Mrs. Vance would feed and water the bird well for a few days, eventually he would travel on home to Maryland. Carol Vance did that very thing for several more days and watched as the bird put on weight and was moving around more actively. “I didn’t close him in the cage,” Vance said. “Whenever I was outside where I could watch for cats, I would just open his cage and he walked freely around the yard. He was a delight to watch. I would really like to keep him, but

Carol Vance, Mt. Orab resident is shown with Homey, a lost homing pigeon. Homey stayed with Vance for a couple of weeks before flying home to Maryland on Monday, June 24.

I knew he wanted to go home.” Vance decided that on Saturday, she would drive Homey to West Union and turn him loose hoping he would find his way home. So, on Saturday morning, she was cleaning her pool and watching Homey walk around the yard, making plan s to release him in West Union. “I looked down at Homey and said, ‘come on up here pretty boy’ and instantly he hopped up on the side of the pool, looked right at me a couple minutes, as if he were trying to thank me, then he just flew away, as quickly as he had arrived three weeks earlier. I had such mixed emotions, I was happy to see him fly towards home, but at the same time sad to know I’d probably never see him agin. On Monday, June 24,

Mr. Clayton notified Shaw that Homey had arrived safely at his home in Maryland. Carol Vance described the event as an experience she will never forget.

PACIFIERS The devil has a lot of pacifiers! I am sure you have seen a baby with a pacifier in its’ mouth. It is sucking away but it does not get one bit of nourishment. It is the same with the devil’s pacifiers. In contrast to the devil’s pacifier, Jesus is the satisfier! Anything that the devil gives you is nothing more than a temporary satisfaction. You can mark that down. You can cheat, steal, lie, and still all you are going to get is a pacifier from him. Go with me to Galatians 5 and beginning in verse 19 we will find some of the devil’s pacifiers that he wants you to satisfy yourself with: “Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, (20) Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, (21) Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like:...” It is in the works of the flesh that Satan has, more generally, his greatest success. There is a story that goes like this: the devil had a yard sale and in his yard sale he had all these things listed at bargain prices. They were all in great shape except the thing at the end of the row. It was really worn. When asked how much he wanted for that one he said: I want a lot of money for that one! Why, the man asked. It is all worn. The devil said: Of course it is, it is called discouragement. That is what helps me sell all of the rest of my things! Discouragement, there is quite a bit of that around these days and Satan uses it to his advantage. Reread the list of pacifiers. Do they sound familiar? Adultery, fornication, lasciviousness (which is extreme lust), murders, drunkenness, strife, witchcraft, heresies (which is the violation of sound Bible doctrine), and all the rest; they are rampant in the world today! Not only that, we have our priorities mixed up today. Do you know that America spends 52 billion dollars a year on pet food? Fifty two billion dollars a year far, far exceeds all the money given in the whole United States of America to missions in a year! For shame, for shame; we stand and pledge allegiance to the flag and ask God to bless a country that gives more to pets than it does to God! I love America! But

America is badly backslidden! And God is not happy with America. We have seen more record storms and disasters lately than ever before and it is not mother nature! Listen, Satan is a great deceiver and the world is eagerly accepting his pacifiers. We are in a society so sick in sexual sin it is pitiful. The Bible says as it was in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah and Sodom and Gomorrah were full of homosexuality! It is sad to say but they had nothing over on us! The homosexuals are fighting to get married and the rest of the population don’t want to get married. They just want to shack up together! Something is dreadfully wrong! Satan himself is a master disguiser, a liar, and a deceiver! Not only does he disguise himself but he can and does make his pacifiers look so very appealing. I plead with you; please do not be deceived by him. He will destroy your life and your family and your soul. However, he is not the victor! His reign is coming to an end. The victor is Jesus! His reign is forever! Jesus does not give temporary pacifiers; He gives long-lasting satisfiers! Verses 22-23 of Galatians 5 tells us: “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, (23) Meekness, temperance...” He will satisfy your soul. Psalm 63:5 states: “My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness...”. Psalm 81:16: “He should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with honey out of the rock should I have satisfied thee.” Psalm 90:14: “O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.” Young people ask God to satisfy you early in your life and stay away from Satan’s pacifiers! Psalm 107:9: “For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.” Jesus satisfies!

Tobacco Diseases and Insects The amount of money it takes to produce a crop continues to rise. The cost of growing or buying plants, fuel for most field operations, fertilizer and pesticides, not to mention labor, are all part of a growing budget when it comes to producing tobacco. With that said, many producers do not want to entertain using something more to produce the crop. However, there are things that in most cases will pay for themselves and then some. The first season for tobacco of course is the growing season, with the second season being the curing season. We can do some things that will improve the second season, but we are limited by the weather probably more during curing than we are in the growing season. The growing season provides us with many options. During the past few years the amount of fertilizer used to produce the crop has been the basis for some of our local, on-farm, research plots. Of course a soil test is probably some of the best money spent when you consider the cost of fertilizer. Applying phosphorus, for example, when it is not needed is not the best use of the money. The nitrogen that it takes to produce the crop has been the main thing that we have looked at here locally. The recommendations are now less than they were a decade or so ago. If you are growing tobacco

DAVID DUGAN OSU EXTENSION SERVING ADAMS, BROWN AND HIGHLAND CO. and applying much more than 225 lbs. of actual nitrogen to the acre, you are most likely applying fertilizer dollars that could be used elsewhere. OK, I have discussed a couple ways to cut some costs on fertilizer so I am ready to spend that money. Yes, I know it is always easier to spend someone else’s money, so here goes. Most pesticides are going to perform better when applied before you have the problem. Prevention is cheaper and more effective than rescue treatments. I realize that some products are cheaper to apply as a rescue than the prevention, but how much damage has taken place before the rescue application is made? First we can look at a simple one, weed control. The use of herbicides for tobacco production need to be applied either before the crop is set or very shortly after transplanting for the most part. When weed control is later, the crop suffers from the competition from the weeds. It depends on how big the weeds get and how many weeds there are if you want to determine how much of your yield might be lost. Most tobacco will be cultivated a few times, but does it need to be

3rd Annual Turn & Burn for St. Jude set On Saturday, July 13, 2013 the Brown County Fairgrounds in Georgetown, will be filled with fun and speed. The Brown County Horseman’s Association is hosting the third annual Turn & Burn for St. Jude, an equestrian speed show in which all proceeds go to St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital. There are twelve events that include barrel racing and pole bending for all ages, with $50 added money in the Open Barrels and Open Poles. Other events are the Rescue race, where one rider races down the arena, and picks up another rider and races back , and the Jackpot Dash in which the fastest one to go down the arena and back

will split all the entry fees of that class with St. Jude’s. “The last two years has been so much fun, that now I couldn’t imagine a summer without the Turn & Burn” says Heather McKeown, BCHA director and show manager of the Turn & Burn. “It hasn’t always been a large crowd, but it’s been a fun crowd and we’ve had everything from the ones with all the speed to the show horses using this as arena time.” The show starts at 5 p.m. on July 13th, with exhibition barrels. The Brown County Rangers 4-H club will be providing food on the grounds. “The Turn & Burn is about fun and St. Jude” says McKeown.

done as much as it is? The answer is probably not. Most cultivation is probably done as a method of weed control. Your time and the fuel is another cost that might be offset by the herbicides. Then there is the hoe. If you can’t control the weeds with cultivation, you will need to walk over the crop and cut the weeds out with a hoe. Again, how much of the yield might be lost by competition? Herbicides are not the end all answer to weeds in tobacco, but they may be less costly in the long run. The weed control is probably easier to see from the windshield or the tractor seat than the diseases or insects. However the yield losses may be significant, or even greater from diseases and insects. Often insects and diseases will go unnoticed until damage is beyond the point of just getting started. Here are a few things that MUST be considered for growing tobacco: The use of resistant varieties will help. Unless it is total resistance it will still have issues. For example if you have known black shank in the field using a variety that has a 5 or 6 will only give you limited protection. That means you could still lose 40 to 50% of the crop. The use of a fungicide will give you even greater protection. The combination of resistant varieties and the use of a preventative fungicide is your best bet if you have to use ground with a known problem. In this case, the use of Ridomil is an option that should be considered. This product now has a 24c label for use in the setter water using anywhere from 4 to 8 ounces per acre. If you have known black shank, use the heavier rate. If the cost of Ridomil is about $120 per pint, that is about $60 per acre. How many stalks would it take to pay for the Ridomil? If you have dealt with black shank in the past, or if it is showing up this year, take a look at this. Remember, you need to calibrate to get the best application. The same can be said for aphids that suck several pounds out of an acre of tobacco, or worms like hornworms and budworms. There are products that can be used once the problem is found, or there are preventatives that can be added to the setter water. Admire has been available for a long time for season long aphid

control. There are now generics that will do the job, and the cost is much less. Coragen will give extended control for worms in the setter water, too. I wrote about some of these products a couple of weeks ago, including the use of Quadris once the tobacco gets some size to it to prevent leaf diseases like blue mold, frogeye, and target spot. You can check out previous articles on the county web page by typing in the name of the county followed by .osu.edu. This is not an article for “I told you so”, but an article that is written after the tobacco has been set in a year when some of the diseases and insects are showing up and doing considerable damage. These products are like insurance, the real value is only realized when things go wrong. If things are going wrong in your crop, now might to a good time to consider how much tobacco is lost, and how much some of these products cost, or how much of a value they might be in the future. Poison Hemlock Everywhere Poison Hemlock seems to be spreading at alarming rates. This is the weed that had white flowers about a week or two ago that are now turning brown. The plant is probably 5 to 8 foot tall and if you look closely the stalk is green with purple on part of it. The number of seeds is unreal. Now is not the time to kill it, but now is a good time to make a mental note, or if you are like me you better write it down, as to where you have patches of this problem weed. Then go to the calendar and pull up the month of November. The last half of November or early December is a good time to plan your attack. The plant will be green while most things are done for the year after a few

frosts. Products like 2,4D or Crossbow do a good job. Dates to Remember SOACDF Meetings - July 9 at Southern Hills Career Center at 2:00 p.m.; and July 11 at USDA in Lucasville at 6:30 p.m. Adams County Fair - July 14-20 Pesticide License Testing - 0Private and commercial

Ohio Department of Commerce, Division of Liquor Control saying that council approves this.” Cutrell said he had the letter prepared and that the village has done this kind of action in the past. Council approved the action. In other business, following an executive session, council adopted a resolution to declare it a necessity to levy a tax for the benefit of the municipality for the purpose of providing adequate funds for police protection at a rate of 1.0 mills for a five year period of time. This levy will be an additional levy. The resolution is a request to the auditor to certify certain matters in connection with the tax levy. Also at the council meeting, Bill Neal, representative for the Brown County Fair Board approached members of Georgetown Council, again regarding an alternative idea to a previous request to place an LED revolving sign near the entrance of the fairgrounds. “ I’ve been here before,” Neal began, “I’ve brought a picture this time that is similar to the sign the Fair Board would like to place in front of the fairgrounds. The picture of the digital sign I’ve shown you is approximately 2 ft by 6 ft. and the one we’re propos-

ing is 3 ft. by 8 ft., but will look very similar. I know you’ve had some opposition to this being in the historical district, but it’s also a business end of town. And we’d like more business at the fairgrounds.” He added that there are currently many commercial signs already in place in that area and the new proposed sign is nice looking and will be an advantage to the village and the fairgrounds. Several council members stated that they did not have a problem with the

sign being placed in front of the fairgrounds and that they had not heard any complaints from anyone in that neighborhood. Following a brief discussion by council it was decided that it would be a good idea to make sure drivers of semi’s in that area could see around the sign. Mayor Dale Cahall recommended sending it back to the community development committee, but committee members Sarah Eagan, Raelena Morrison and Dennis White said that they approved of the sign.

Report: Aberdeen shouldn’t build plant CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 civil judgement in favor of Shinn Brothers, Inc. in a lawsuit against the Village of Aberdeen on May 29. If the plant is not built, the damages assessed to the village could be significant. When asked about the consequences of a judgement of hundreds of thousands of dollars against the village if the water plant isn’t built, Eitel said “We’ll probably go bankrupt.” Common Pleas Judge Scott Gusweiler did not award damages in the case, setting aside a date in midOctober to determine the amount that the Village of Aberdeen would have to pay the company. The amount of damages could depend on whether the village decides to move forward with the construction of the plant. Shinn Brothers filed the lawsuit last July against the village, seeking $828,000 in damages for materials purchased and lost profits. The company submitted a settlement offer for $692,000 via a letter to the court appointed mediator in November of 2012. Shinn Brothers Attorney Timothy Heather also noted in the letter that ”Shinn

Brothers would consider moving forward with the contract and building Aberdeen’s water treatment plant, providing Aberdeen also reimbursed Shinn Brothers for the legal fees and other expenses it has incurred to date as a result of Aberdeen’s breach of the contract.” The Internal Revenue Service is also paying 45 percent of the interest on the bonds because they were issued against federal stimulus funds. The cost at the end of 2013 to pay back the IRS will be $223,666.86. The village signed the contract to build the water plant in December of 2010. On March 19, 2012, Mayor Harry Foxworthy notified the company that the village council was suspending work on the plant. In other action at council, Aberdeen Mobile Home Park owner Annette Mineer approached council about annexing her property into the village. Council voted 3-2 to deny the request. Mineer expressed frustration with the decision saying “I am offering them an opportunity for me to pay taxes on my rental income and they would get the benefits of a one percent sales tax on

almost 200 people”. During the meeting, Aberdeen Police Chief Greg Caudle expressed support for the idea, saying that if the land were annexed into the village it would make patrolling the mobile home park easier for village officers and more difficult for criminals to hide from them. Mineer said that 90 percent of the mobile home park is in Brown County, rather than the village. That requires the Brown County Sheriff’s Office to respond to calls there. Regarding the additional tax revenue that would be possible, Aberdeen Fiscal Officer Nathan Pfeffer said “We need all the money we can get.” After some discussion of a survey of the property being necessary, Mineer offered to pay for it. Council then voted the request down with council members Billie Eitel, Jim Perraut and Jason Phillips voting “no”. Council members Castle and Jerry Applegate voted “yes”. After the vote, Castle said that the results of the vote showed that “Personal feelings are interfering with common sense.” The next meeting for the Aberdeen Village Council is set for August 5.

Council unanimously approved the erection of the sign, which should be in place before opening day of the 2013 fair. In other actions by council, Georgetown resident Roger Parker of Parker’s Pizzeria had requested a name change for Short Street. He asked that the street be renamed Parker Way, or something similar and provided council with a signed petition from all involved parties in the neighborhood who approved the name change. Council promptly approved the change, and asked Solicitor Cutrell to draw up an ordinance. Georgetown resident, Dave Gunther, who lives very near the Georgetown skate park, addressed council regarding the noise that comes from the skate park, sometimes well past 10 p.m. The gentleman explained that he felt the police department was doing

campus and a building that Brown County and Southern State can be proud of.” Boys added that SSCC was already looking to future development into other areas. “Our hope is that the minute we open the doors it will be jam packed with students attending Southern State. In the future, we’ll be looking to expand not only on this site, but also into Adams County.”, he said. Boys said that education is extremely important because it is linked with income and quality of life for many people. “The more education one gets, the better position they have for a better job. Come back to school. Get that certificate or that associate degree that will put you in a better job.”, Boys said. He added that Southern State was working with four year colleges to possibly bring four year bachelor pro-

grams to the Southern State campus. In a telephone interview, Southern State Board of Trustees Member Paul Hall also drew attention to the importance of the location for the new campus. “This property and this area of the county will leave us poised for substantial growth in the future”, Hall said. “We will be able to expand as needed as the expected demand continues to grow.” During the ceremony, Lunsford continued to link job growth and education. “Vocational education is going to be very important now and in the future if you are going to be able to recruit manufacturing jobs.”, he said. “Manufacturers in the past have asked where they can get training for workers. In the past, we showed them on a map. Now we can just drive them out here to Southern State.”

Lunsford closed his remarks by remembering the late Ben Houser, former Southern State board member and Mt. Orab fixture. “This is one project I know Ben was very very proud of. He was a big part of it and as far as I’m concerned, he still is a part of it.” State Senator Joe Uecker and State Representative Doug Green were also in attendance. “I serve on the Manufacturing and Workforce Development Committee in the Ohio Legislature. Southern State is one of the tools that we have identified to help fill the new jobs that we are expecting to see in the short term.”, Green said. “We are looking at a skilled workforce that’s aging that we don’t have trained replacements for. Employers are telling us that they have jobs going unfilled because they don’t have the trained replacements for them.” Green and Uecker pre-

towers, grain bins and other elevated structures as well as over steep embankments and bridges. He added that it would hold up to 2,500 pounds. “The patient can be securely fastened into the basket and either lowered or raised to the awaiting EMS crew,” Rocky said proudly, “We now have the capability to secure a rescuer with the patient as they are moved to safety as well. “I wanted to show this piece of equipment to council tonight. This is a huge step for us and we’re proud of it. Its safer for everyone.” Council spoke briefly about the Community Reinvestment Area in Georgetown and handed out a map designating that roughly showed the area that will be involved. Administrator Jeremy Germann told council that he has been busy gathering information about each of the homeowners in that designated area. He told council that a public hearing will be scheduled as soon as all the information is gathered and then it would be submitted to the state. Solicitor Jay Cutrell said he had drawn up an ordinance for council to pass designating boundaries of the community Reinvestment Area, designate a housing officer and create a community reinvestment housing council and a tax incentive review council. Mayor Cahall placed the matter in the community development committee for more discussion. The next meeting of the Georgetown Village Council was scheduled for Thursday, July 25 at 7:30 p.m.

a wonderful job patrolling the park more than ever before but that they can’t be there all the time. “The real issue, at least with me, is the question of when is dusk?” Gunther explained. “Everyone has their own idea of when dusk is. It is very annoying to hear that constant banging of those skate-boards on the blacktop. It is extremely loud. I know that there are no noise ordinances in the village.” Gunther said something needs to be done to explain dawn to dusk. He asked if specific hours could be posted or perhaps the park be locked up at a certain hour each evening. Gunther made it quite clear to council that the kids are not to blame. The park is there for their use and that’s all they’re doing, but there needs to be a cutoff time. Mayor Cahall placed the issue back in the park committee for further discussion. Next on the agenda, Georgetown Fire Chief Joe Rockey showed off the latest rescue tool added to his department. Rockey brought with him a specially designed rescue sled/basket. “We purchased this equipment partially with tax money,” Rockey said, “the remaining costs came from fundraisers held by the firefighters. “We routinely train on the skills needed in everyday situations, but we also try and grow our equipment and skills each year to become a more well rounded department.” Rockey added that the new equipment, coupled with the existing ladder truck will give his department the ability to safely perform rescues from roof tops, scaffolding, water

sented Boys with a commendation from the Ohio Legislature, congratulating the college on the groundbreaking. Sherri Carbo with Governor John Kasich’s office also presented Boys with congratulations from the governor. Kasich’s letter read in part, “Ohio’s success depends on a skilled workforce, and that starts with a quality education. This expansion will have a profound impact on economic development in the community, but more importantly, open the door for thousands of future students across southern Ohio.” Southern State hopes to have construction of the new campus complete in the Summer of 2014 in time for classes to begin for the Fall semester.

for theft in office, Plaintiff would have lost all accumulated pension benefits as well as his commission and right to be a peace officer in the state of Ohio.” Lambros signed the release in late June, retiring on July 2, 2011. Lambros claims that “the charges against Plaintiff were swiftly perverted to accomplish a different ulterior purpose, i.e., Plaintiff’s retirement and signing of the release.” The claim wraps up by making the assertion that

the “knowingly empty threats”, forced him to sign the release. Lambros is also seeking to have the release that he signed in 2011 be declared void. Neither Wenninger or Little would comment on the specifics of Lambros’ claims, citing pending litigation. Both expressed in general terms that they would be vindicated once the full facts of the case are made public.

Coroner/Sheriff agreement dead CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 only meeting between Sheriff Wenninger, Prosecutor Little, myself, and Special Prosecutor Dave Warren, on Monday, June 3, 2013, I thought the protocol mutually worked out had been totally agreed upon by all involved at that time. Now, I understand that Sheriff Wenninger is unwilling to sign the agreed upon protocol which was ready to be submitted to (Common Pleas) Judge (Scott) Gusweiler for his approval. I will continue to abide by that protocol. It outlined more specifically the legal duties, interaction, and communications to be expected between each office - how things were to be accomplished here in Brown County.”

Varnau provided a copy of the protocol to The Brown County Press. It was drawn up to be a Journal Entry and Consent Order and to be signed by Gusweiler. The five page document set forth specific rules governing notification procedures of the coroner, conduct of investigators at death scenes, cooperation and evidence collection protocols and other issues. The protocol describes the area that the coroner will be in charge of at a death scene as “the area reasonably within the control of the body, typically defines as within the normal reach of the body.” Unlawfully disturbing a body is a fourth degree misdemeanor.

BY Faye Mahaffey Master Gardner Volunteer Easy to grow prairie plants are among nature’s most spectacular flowers, producing waist-high blooms of brilliant yellow, flaming crimson and soft lavender. Because of their extensive root systems, prairie plants can be the answer to problem garden spots; and once established they require little maintenance. Small patches of prairie grow throughout much of Ohio. They are relics of a time 4,000 – 6,000 years ago when a sustained warm, dry period caused the expansion of drought-resistant western plants eastward through Ohio to western Pennsylvania. When the rain and cooler summers eventually returned, the eastern edge of the prairie again gave way to forest except for pockets of land where erosion, shallow dry soils or prolonged seasonal flooding prevented tree seedlings from developing. Other prairies disappeared with the introduction of the John Deere plow. The once-abandoned hard lands became farmable with the introduction of the steel plow. Today, there’s a movement to restore these prairie habitats in parks, preserves, and backyard landscapes as people recognize their beauty and appreciate the wildlife attracted to the diverse environment. Prairie plants grow best in a site with daylong sunlight, although many plants thrive in a half-day’s sunlight. The plants grow in a variety of soil textures and tolerate a range of fertility and pH levels. I visited a 22 acre prairie planted by Guy Denny, retired chief of Ohio’s Natural Areas and Preserves last summer. Indiangrass, Big Bluestem, Purple coneflower, yellow coreopsis, red royal catchfly, and 140 other

prairie species were a colorful feast for the eyes. Guy shared a few tips for growing a prairie. First, invest time in eliminating invasive species with a herbicide. Select grass and wildflower seeds native to your area or adaptable to your zone. Check with state prairie associations or prairie nurseries for recommendations. Instead of a wildflower seed mix, purchase single varieties, then handsow a matrix of grasses interspersed with patches of wildflowers. Many prairie plants can become thugs when unleashed on the home landscape. The Ohio Department of Natural Resources suggest using the following plants with caution: Purple coneflower (Echinacea purpurea), Royal catchfly (Silene regia), Rattlesnake-master (Eryngium yuccifolium), Shooting stars (Dodecatheon meadia), Ohio spiderwort (Tradescantia ohiensis), Wild hyacinth (Camassia scilloides), New England aster (Symphyotrichum novae-angliae), Stiff goldenrod (Solidago rigida), Wild bee balm (Monarda fistulosa), Sundrops (Oenothera friticosa), Black-eyed Susan (Rudbeckia hirta) and Rough gayfeather (Liatris aspera). Guy Denny urges patience in prairie gardening. By the third and fourth years you can enjoy the “show”Pink shooting stars and blue phlox in April, full-peak color in midsummer, goldenrod and purple asters in fall, and snow-covered grasses and forbs in winter. The biggest challenge is controlling weeds during the first two or three years. Prairie plants spend the first years of their life rooting while Eurasian weed species put all their energy above the ground, crowding out prairie seedlings. Weed control can be accomplished through a variety of means such as herbicides, mulching or hand

weeding. Planting a groundcover crop like oats or annual rye the first summer will take up space so weeds cannot crowd out the prairie plants. Since they only live one year, they will allow prairie plants room to expand the second year. Mowing and raking every spring also helps control weeds a promote growth. You should mow in late June with the blade set about 5 – 8 inches high. This will cut back early growing annual weeds but not affect slowergrowing prairie plants. By the third year, there is little for the prairie gardener to do but enjoy their colorful landscape. They require no covering, no pruning, no spraying, little if any fertilizing and no irrigating-saving prairie gardeners hundreds of dollars in maintenance costs and hours of labor. My Compass plant (Silphium laciniatum) has survived my husband’s weed-eater and is growing taller. The flower stalk can reach as high as 8 feet! Interested in learning more about prairies? A few recommended references include: The Prairie Garden; 70 Native Plants You Can Grow in Town or Country, TallGrass Prairie Wildflowers, and Prairie In Your Pocket (A Guide to Plants of the TallGrass Prairie). FIRECRACKERS AND FIREFLIES These past hot and humid days have reminded me of my dad. He would always exclaim, “It’s hotter than a firecracker outside!” Anyone who knew my dad would quickly remember that he always dressed in bib overalls and long sleeve cotton shirts! I, on the other hand, can’t stand more than a pair of shorts and a sleeveless top made out of wicking material when the thermometer hits 80 plus degrees. I do wear a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen and bug spray. I have already fallen victim to the dreaded

chiggers and now I spray diligently every time I head out the door to the garden. Watering has been at the top of my list the past week. I actually got out the drip buckets for several of my newly planted trees, and haul water in cat litter containers to thirsty plants too far away to drench with the hose. We have been spending some time down at the cabin in the evenings when it cools down a bit. The fireflies have been treating us to a spectacular light show after the sun goes down. Fireflies, also called Lightning Bugs, are neither bugs nor flies. They are beetles (Order Coleoptera). There are about 170 species of fireflies in the United States and Canada; most are found east of the Mississippi River. Why do fireflies give off light? There are several reasons why they blink their lights on summer nights. The first reason is that the flashing is used to locate a mate. The ones that are flying around are the males, and the females sit in the brush and respond by flash-

ing their lights. The second reason for the light is to warn predators that fireflies aren’t good to eat. Like the orange color of a monarch butterfly, or the yellow stripes on a wasp, the light on the end of a firefly lets predators know to avoid eating them. The chemicals that make the light are bitter. Even birds don’t like to eat them! Predator insects begin eating the head and work their way back and drop the abdomen. A third reason why fireflies light up is to warn other fireflies of danger. The flashing light can be used as a distress signal to other fireflies. If fireflies are caught in a

spider web they will begin distress flashing to warn others. A fourth reason for the light display is to obtain a meal. There is a species of firefly that is a predator, called the femme fatale. This predator firefly can mimic the flash of other species of fireflies, and when a male responds, and comes toward her to mate, she eats him instead!

Stout field of cars visit as AMS Modifieds come to MRP Summit Racing Equipment AMS Modifieds made their annual visit to Moler Raceway Park on June 21 and a strong field of 34 cars from all over the country were on hand. In QuickCar qualifications, it was series points leader Bryan Barber toping the charts with a 13.975 lap. Barber would go on to win the first heat race while Joey Kramer would win the second heat, Trent Young the third and Kyle Strickler the fourth, and final, heat. Todd Robinson and Taylor Cook gained transfers in the first B-main race while Brandon Green and Weasel Rhodes transfered from the second B-main. Barber and Young brought the 24 car feature race field to the green flag for the 30-lap feature event. Following a caution on lap two, the field would be reset with Barber still out front but with Kramer up to second with Devin Gilpin right with him. On the restart, it was still Barber out front but an exciting race ensued behind him as Kramer and Gilpin would battle for the next 10 laps for second spot. Gilpin would take over second spot and set his sights on the leader but to no avail as Barber would go on to claim his second AMS feature of the year. Gilpin would come home second with Young, Kramer and Zach Fair rounding out the top five spots. The Late Models division feature saw two complete restarts following

Chad Stapleton won the Late Model Division feature at Moler Raceway Park on June 21.

Adam McCabe spin outs but once the first lap was completed it was greencheckers with no cautions interrupting the action as Chad Stapleton would roar to yet another feature win at the ¼ mile speed plant. Sheets would come home second with Marty Oneal, Ethan Burgess and John Whitney rounding out the top five spots. A nice field of 18 Crazy Compacts were on hand on June 21 and, at the green flag, it was ‘The King’ Willie Butler leading the field to the green flag with Michael Hensley on the outside of row one. Butler would snatch the lead at the outset, with Ashley Landrum in second, but a caution came out almost immediately when Bubba Gibson made some heavy contact in turn two. Butler kept the lead on the restart, with Landrum in second and Hensley in third spot. Things got interesting on lap five when

Kevin Stamper would work his was up to third before he made contact with Landrum going into turn three, bringing out the caution once again. Once under green again there was no stopping Butler, who, despite some serious pain from a shoulder injury, would cruise to the victory. Michael Hensley would claim the second spot over Landrum with Justin Dalton and Michael Sand rounding out the top five. Josh Francis, of West Union, took home his first win of the season in the Chevette Division. It was not an easy win, however, as Francis powered around Miles Tarvin on lap two but would be pressured heavily throughout the race. Tarvin would come home second while Rusty Yarger, Spensor Watson, and Sean Jones would round out top five spots.

Western Brown Jr. High wrestler Brandon Lucas earned a spot on the USA-Ohio Schoolboy National team in June. He competed well in a national wrestling tournament in Indianapolis.

Lucas competes in national tournament Brandon Lucas, a member of the Western Brown Jr. High wrestling team, recently competed on the USA-Ohio Schoolboy National team. He was one of the best 24 Jr. high-aged wrestlers in the state of Ohio to compete on the team. Lucas was a member of

both the Greco-Roman and Freestyle team. The USA-Ohio Schoolboy National team recently competed in a tournament at Warren Central High School in Indianapolis, Ind. during the second week of June. Team Ohio competed against 34 teams from around the USA.

Lucas was chosen as cocaptain of this year’s team and finished with a 10-6 record against some of the best wrestlers in the country. His individual success helped guide the GrecoRoman team to an eighth place finish and the Freestyle team to a 12th place finish.
