IGA in Georgetown to reopen BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press The IGA store in Georgetown will soon be open again. New owner Eric Rabe said that the store will be open for business again in mid to late August, and will employ approximately fifty full and part time employees. “A lot of the associates that were here before have enthusiastically filled out applications to come back, and we are looking forward to welcoming back as many former employees as we can.”, Rabe said. “Many of them told us that they can’t wait to get back and see their customers, so people can expect to see some familiar faces when we open.” Rabe said that shoppers can also expect competitive
prices. “I have a strong belief that we have to be competitive every day with our prices. I don’t want someone to have to drive outside of Georgetown to shop because someone else has lower prices. We will also have weekly specials as well.” Rabe said that the store will have plenty of options for shoppers. “We will have a very high quality perishable department and all the meat will be cut fresh daily in the store, not prepackaged. We will also have a full service deli and bakery with doughnuts made fresh daily right in the store.” Rabe said setup will begin at the store on August 12 and take approximately two weeks. He also operates IGA stores in Vevay and VerCONTINUED ON PAGE 10

Court papers filed to force R-U-L-H school board to place water plant construction BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press The battle over building a water plant in Aberdeen has intensified. A motion was filed in Brown County Common Pleas Court on July 18 to compel the Aberdeen Village Council to honor previous resolutions and to move forward on the plant. The move came one day after a special village council meeting where the first reading of an ordnance not to authorize construction of the plant was held.

Feds charge man with child porn On July 17, 2013 Erick Kratzer pled guilty in Federal Court in Cincinnati on a case the Georgetown Police Department had investigated in August of 2011. Kratzer had been charged with Unlawful Sexual Conduct with a Minor and Pandering Sexually Oriented Matter involving Juveniles by Brown County Prosecutor Jessica Little. On November 14, 2011 Kratzer pled guilty to one count of Unlawful Sexual Conduct with a Minor and was sentenced to one year in prison by Common Pleas Judge Scott Gusweiller.
Through the investigation by the Georgetown Police Department and a search warrant executed by BCI&I on Kratzer’s computer, information was gathered that implicated Kratzer’s involvement in Child Pornography. Prosecutor Little, Chief Coburn and investigating officer Sgt. Bobby Gifford felt these charges would be best prosecuted in the Federal Court System. The Federal System has much more stringent sentencing guidelines than the State in these types of cases. All of Georgetown PD information was turned over to CONTINUED ON PAGE 10

levy on November ballot BY Martha B. Jacob The Brown County Press During its July 16 meeting, members of the board of education at Ripley-UnionLewis-Huntington Local School District approved a resolution to the Brown County Auditor declaring it a necessity to levy a 2.6 mill general permanent improvement, five-year levy, to be
placed on the November ballot. The board discussed the matter at length during the meeting and struggled with the issue of making it a 3mills or 2.6 mills levy, eventually deciding on the smaller amount. According to Superintendent Patrick Kimble and board treasurer Adam Zink, the district currently has two
bond levies that will expire at the end of 2013. One is for 1.9 mills, the other 1.1 mills. According to Jill Hall, Brown County Auditor, for a $100,000 property, taxpayers will pay $796.25, with the exception of those homeowners under the homestead act). To a property valued at $50,000 the tax would add $398.13 annually, with the CONTINUED ON PAGE 10
Man sues to unseal case file from 2003 Sheriff election trial BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press A Felicity man has filed a motion to unseal the 2003 trial record of Brown County Sheriff Dwayne Wenninger. Joe Podolsky, acting as his own attorney, filed the motion in Brown County Common Pleas Court on June 12.
He is asking Common Pleas Judge Scott Gusweiler to unseal the record from the October 2003 trial where Wenninger was found not guilty of submitting false documents to run for Sheriff in the 2000 election. “He was found not guilty of knowingly filing false documents, which means there were false documents.”, Podolsky said.
“Judge Gusweiler needs to unseal the case and let the truth be known that Wenninger is not the Sheriff. If he doesn’t unseal it, he’s as guilty as the Sheriff in committing fraud.” The court record was sealed by Judge Robert Ringland in 2003 following the trial.

Students at G’town schools can expect tighter reigns absences, tardiness “We cannot teach our children... if they’re not in the classroom.” Those are the words of Christopher Burrows, superintendent of Georgetown Exempted Village School District. Burrows has been working to change school policy in Georgetown schools regarding the high rates of student tardiness and absentees. The issue was first brought by Burrows to the attention of the members of the board of education in March when reviewed the district’s policies on absences. At the July 10 meeting he presented the board with recommendations for policy changes regarding attendance which were adopted. “When I first came aboard at Georgetown Exempted Schools,” Burrows began, “I took a good look at staff attendance and also at student attendance especially in a district where I see people working hard.” Burrows said he started by having conversations with teachers, in February, looking for the root to the problem. He said he could see it was not because of bad teachers, there had to be another reason. “I started looking for those barriers to learning,” Burrows said. “and absenteeism kept coming up. These students who weren’t passing achievement tests, the students who are achieving at low levels have attendance problems, whether it be tardiness or just excessive ab-

sences. At that time I didn’t know what our school policy said, so that’s when I began to review how it’s written.” Burrows added that after reviewing the policy, he found that the current way it was written, a student could actually miss 36 days of school a year, 9 each quarter, with a parental note, which is all the student needed. “In the world that we’re in today,” he said, “we’re expected to educate these kids at high levels, but they have to be here for us to teach them. My goal is to make Georgetown a place where a student can get a world class education, and a place where the student wants to be. On our part, we need to make this as fun as Disneyland, they need a reason to want to be in school.” He said students must have enthusiasm to want to be in school because something great is going on in their classes and they want
to be involved. “I don’t want to come across like this is just a parent problem,” Burrows said, “I think it’s a structural problem, an expectation problem, a community problem. And so it’s much bigger than just a parental problem, it’s an awareness.” According to Burrows, all changes approved to the policies are in accordance with Ohio Revised Code. Legitimate reasons for past absence include: • personal illness of the student; • illness in the immediate family; • quarantine of the home; • death of a relative; • work at home due to absence of parents or guardians; • observance of religious holidays; • an emergency; • pregnant students ordered by doctor to miss school; • head lice; • college visitation maximum of 3 days. The following information includes the major changes to absentees and tardiness policies which were approved by the board: -1- Students now must present a note for their absence no later than two days after returning, regardless of how many days were missed, to be considered for an excused absence. The student will have three days to make up their work regardless if it is excused or unexcused. “In the past,” Burrows said, “If a student missed

This year our goal is to help those residents get the most out of their time at the Expo. We hope to see everyone come out and support your local businesses by attending this free event!
men and women,” said Senator Uecker. Sportsmen represent a strong constituency in Ohio. According to the Congressional Sportsmen Foundation, Ohio ranks 8th in total sportsmen nationwide. Ohio has 1.56 million hunters and anglers who spend $2.75 billion annually and support 46,825 jobs. Senator Uecker announced the reorganization of the Ohio Legislative Sportsmen’s Caucus in April to give a unified voice to a constituency that is vital to improving Ohio’s economy. Since April, the caucus has already fought to preserve the interests of Ohio’ s Sportsmen by working with the Ohio Department of Natural Resources to address concerns raised by the sportsmen’s community regarding proposed changes to deer hunting regulations. Senator Uecker will continue to work with caucus members during the summer recess to identify other caucus priorities as 2013 comes to a close.
five days, they had five days to bring in a note. Now they have two days to bring in a note. “If the student was unexcused, they used to automatically get a zero in their work, but now we’re saying students will have three days to make up their work regardless if it’s excused or unexcused. We feel it’s that important to do the work.” -2- Excessive tardiness may result in disciplinary action such as parent conferences, detention, letters from the county office, court action and various types of suspension. To be excused for a tardy, the attendance office must receive a note and telephone call from the parent/guardian within one day of the tardy. Four unexcused tardies to school equal one day of unexcused absence. -3- The language in the policy never clarified how many tardies equalled one absence and it was added to the policy. Four unexcused tardies equal one unexcused absence. “The student isn’t going to be punished for unexcused absences,” he added, “and they’re allowed three days to make up their work, but the real punishment is when it becomes truancy if they miss five days in a row unexcused, 7 days in a month or 12 days in a year. “I truely believe that there is a direct link between absences and student achievement,” Burrows summarized. “These changes will make a difference.” Burrows has a link on the Georgetown School’s website where he has recently written an article called “Why school systems have to change.” To read the article, visit www.gtown.k12.oh.us and click on superintendent tab.

Taking A Trip Through Time Jimmy Ellis, Sardinia submitted this photo of the Sardinia Commercial Hotel which was built in 1898. This building was recently demolished in June, 2013. This hotel sat on the corner of South Main Street and Broad Street. Prior to this hotel, the Marshall House, then later the Dunn House were located on this site. Jane Marshall, daughter of the owner of Marshall House made doughnuts for the Union Army that came through Sardinia, tracking Morgan’s raiders who came to Sardinia July 15, 1863. Marshall worked until 2 a.m. when supplies ran out. Another side note, Harriet Beecher Stowe spent a week in the Dunn House gathering information for ‘Uncle Toms Cabin’. Ellis got this photo from the 1976 Sardinia Historical book. ‘Taking a Trip Through Time’ is a feature of the Brown County Press that is supplied by our readers. If you have photos of places within Brown County that are at least 30 years old please feel free to submit them along with some information about the photo to The Brown County Press by email to bcpress@frontier.com or mail them to or drop them off at The Brown County Press 219 South High Street Mt.

Ensuring Ohio workers have the skills needed to fill open jobs Last week, I heard from Daniel Brewer, a Navy veteran from Cincinnati who could not find a good paying job after returning from Afghanistan. Though Daniel had substantial training in the Navy, moving home to Ohio, he had trouble translating his skills into the civilian workforce. Daniel’s experience is all too common. Time and time again I’ve heard similar stories throughout Ohio: biotech firms, hightech manufacturers, and small businesses are hiring for open positions, but can’t find the workers with the right skills to fill these job openings. With too many Ohioans still unable to find work, we should be doing all that we can to ensure that our workers are qualified to fill Ohio jobs. Since 2007, I’ve convened more than 215 roundtables across Ohio’s 88 counties, listening to community and business leaders, workers, and entrepreneurs on ways to
SHERROD BROWN strengthen our economy. A theme that developed early on was that despite high unemployment, employers are having a hard time finding workers with the skills necessary to fill the available jobs. As a result, job openings in high-growth industries, like healthcare, clean energy, and biosciences, and even the manufacturing sector, are going unfilled. According to Forbes, Ohio ranks 10th per capita in the nation among states expecting the biggest looming skilled labor shortage – due, in part, to an aging population and limited workforce training resources. The skills gap exists – especially for careers in high-tech fields. This gap
denies workers new opportunities they deserve and undermines our nation’s economic competitiveness. It also limits our state’s ability to attract new jobs and businesses. In response to the stories I heard during my early roundtables throughout Ohio about the need to close the skills gap, I first introduced the Strengthening Employment Clusters to Organize Regional Success (SECTORS) in 2008. Last week, I reintroduced it with Senator Susan Collins (R-ME). The SECTORS Act creates partnerships between educators, industry, and workforce training boards to ensure that workers have the right skills to get hired in high-tech, emerging industries with good-paying jobs. If we’re going to attract new employers, we need to ensure that local workforce development efforts support the needs of local industries. That’s what this bill does.
It means community colleges, whether it’s Cincinnati State, Tri-C, Zane State, and Sinclair State or Rhodes State, and workforce investment boards, industry, and labor, working together to serve local needs. We know economic development and workforce skills training go hand-inhand. We’ve seen this in Youngstown with NAMII. When the skilled workers are there, more investments follow. It’s not only good for businesses; this legislation is also important for Ohio families. America has a unique opportunity to address the skills gap that prevents hardworking Americans— like Daniel Brewer—from finding good jobs and prohibits eager-to-grow companies from hiring the skilled workers needed to expand. We close the skills gap by going directly to the source of Ohio’s economic might: our skilled workers and innovative businesses.
Time to repeal the Medical Device tax Since the day it was passed, conservatives have argued that the Affordable Care Act would destroy jobs. President Obama’s decision to delay the employer mandate contained in the health care law because it would undermine an already fragile jobs market serves to confirm our worst fears. But while the President’s action has given a brief reprieve to businesses and job creators, the delay is only temporary. Worse still, there
ROB PORTMAN are other job-destroying provisions in Obamacare that are already wreaking havoc across the nation and particularly here in Ohio. One of them is the medical device tax. America is better off

when we are building things. We have a powerful service economy, but the backbone of our greatness has always been our builders, our manufacturers, and our innovators. We’ve seen that first-hand in Ohio. Manufacturing is in our blood. Today, we in Ohio are blessed to have a thriving and robust biotechnology sector. In fact, biotechnology-related companies account for over 60,000 jobs in our state, and that number is projected to grow even more. It’s hard to overstate the impact the industry has on our state, both directly and in the ripple effect felt throughout our communities. At a time when more than ever we need “Made in America” innovation, the medical technology industry is one where we are a leader on the world stage. This industry is creating good jobs here at home, producing beneficial products for the health care field, and helping grow our economy by shipping American goods overseas. We should be doing everything we can to encourage growth in this industry. Unfortunately, there’s growing concern that a little known provision in the Affordable Care Act could put America’s leadership
position in danger, costing Ohio jobs and slowing innovation in the medical device arena. Recently, I met with Zimmer Surgical, a company that employs more than 300 workers in its Dover, Ohio facility. They expressed the same concern I’ve heard at bio-tech companies I’ve visited from Cleveland to Columbus to Cincinnati. As a result of the Affordable Care Act, starting this year companies like Zimmer are required to pay a 2.3 percent excise tax. This excise tax is different from taxes that companies normally pay. Instead of taxing a company’s product, the excise tax in the Act applies to revenue—without regard to whether the company is actually making any money. Such a tax both chills innovation and harms the prospects of new start-ups in Ohio. Established companies will be forced to divert resources from areas like Research and Development to pay this tax, while new companies—some of which struggle for years to become profitable—may not survive it at all. The founder of Zimmer told me that had this tax been in place when he started, his CONTINUED ON PAGE 7
According to the Ohio Department of Public Safety’s Crash Statistics website, Brown County has had three fatal crashes resulting in three deaths during the time period of January 1 through June 30, 2013. In comparison, we had only one fatal crash responsible for one death for the same time period in 2012. On a positive note, however, our injury crashes appear to be down in the first half of this year (114 in comparison with 180 for the same time last year). So—let’s keep working together to reverse our rising number of fatal crashes. How can you help to make Brown County roads safer? Stay AliveDon’t Text and Drive, and put down that cell phone when you’re behind the wheel. Also, don’t drink and then drive, and don’t drive when you’re drowsy. We have been seeing our seat belt use rates going down in the county during the past year, and it’s a big concern. Please remember--your buckled seat belt is THE #1 defense against death and serious injury in most traffic crashes. So buckle up for every ride no matter how short of a ride or drive you take. If you’re not buckled up, What’s Holding You Back? Parents, never forget that one of the leading factors for getting your kids and teens into the habit of al-
SUSAN BASTA ways buckling up is you being a good role model and always buckling up yourself! Let’s all keep working together to prevent any more traffic deaths in Brown County in 2013. Who doesn’t want safe traveling for themselves, their kids, and their other loved ones? The “Safe Communities” Program was developed through the Ohio Department of Public Safety to establish and/or expand community partnerships to create safer, healthier communities throughout Ohio. The Brown County Safe Communities Coalition is a group of dedicated individuals and agencies dedicated to reducing traffic crash-related deaths and serious injuries. It is funded by USDOT/NHTSA and ODPS/Ohio State Highway Patrol-Ohio Traffic Safety Office and administered locally by HEALTH-UC and the University of Cincinnati Area Health Education Center Program. HEALTH-UC’s office is located at 114 East State Street in Georgetown, OH.
AG Mike DeWine urges military members to report consumer problems In recognition of the first annual Military Consumer Protection Day (July 17), Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine is encouraging active-duty military members and their families to report consumer complaints to his office. “We receive some complaints from military service members, but we think there are many more who could be helped,” Attorney General DeWine said. “The last thing active-duty military members or their families should have to worry about is a consumer problem, but when they do, we offer a fast-track complaint process and certain legal services at no cost to military personnel.” Each year, the Attorney General’s Office receives hundreds of complaints from consumers who identify themselves as activeduty military members or their immediate family members. Attorney General DeWine's Office expedites such complaints to quickly address the issues, which may involve debt collection, home improvement, or other transactions. The office also provides a pro bono program for military members. Through the Patriot Program, volunteers from the Attorney General’s Office assist with consumer issues, such as terminating a cell phone contract or motor vehicle lease, and other legal issues including drafting wills and delegating power of attorney. For help through the Patriot Program, individuals should call 800282-0515. In addition to reporting consumer problems, service members and their families also should beware of
MIKE DEWINE OHIO ATTORNEY GENERAL military-specific scams. For example, in a twist to the “grandparent scam,” a scammer may target the elderly relatives of military personnel and claim that their grandchild, who is in the military, has been arrested and detained overseas. In order for the grandchild to be released, the elderly family member must wire money according to the scammer’s instructions. Any money sent will be lost. Similarly, scammers may contact the family members of a deployed service member and ask them to send money so that the service member can go on early leave. Again, any money sent will be lost. During Military Consumer Protection Day, government agencies such as the Federal Trade Commission, the Department of Defense, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and state attorneys general join advocacy organizations, including Military Saves, and private sector groups to highlight free consumer resources for service members, their families, and veterans. The Military Consumer Protection Day website is www.military.ncpw.gov. To learn more about consumer protection issues or services for military members, Ohioans should contact the Attorney General’s Office at www.OhioAttorneyGeneral.gov or 800-282-0515.

WB energy specialist Taylor prepares for new school year
CMYK
BY Martha B. Jacob The Brown County Press During Western Brown Local School District’s Board of Education meeting July 15, Roger Taylor, energy education specialist and director of operations and transportation, updated the board on the energy savings the district has incurred since late 2011. Taylor told the board that to date the district has seen a 23.87% reduction in energy savings and he continues to look for ways to save the district money in both energy and transportation in the district. “We have strategically redesigned our bus routes so that every K-12 student has transportation without adding any of the four that were eliminated either through retirement or resigning,” Taylor began. “This maneuver will result in many buses being filled to capacity. In essence, we restored K-8 bus service completely in a much more cost efficient manner.” Taylor told the board that Courtney Kelley, transportation secretary for the district, deserved a tremendous amount of credit for the work she had done in getting the routes prepared for bidding. “Our bus drivers have endured a lot of changes this past year and have been very resilient,” Taylor added. “We are now moving into the parent/guardian communication stage of the reinstatement plan. We will utilize the ‘One-Call’ system, postcards and personal phone calls to make sure everyone is informed of changes well in advance of school beginning.” Taylor went on to discuss the district’s energy conservation program which was first implemented a couple of years ago. “These changes in the district are now really beginning to snowball into some very significant savings.”, he added with a smile. “We are also now providing a completely free, online energy tracking tool for use by everyone in the district and the county. This tool is called GreenQuest. It is a personal energy dashboard that enables community members to track and analyze the energy se for their homes or places of business.” Taylor said the school district will be providing GreenQuest to the community in order to educate, raise awareness and promote energy conservation. He explained that residents can track their energy use and cost; compare their building with peers; evaluate energy saving project; track their carbon footprint; analyze energy use with AccuWeather data; and as an option, obtain an ENERGY STAR building rating (for commercial buildings.) “With GreenQuest, we are giving every household and business in the district a powerful tool to measure and conserve energy in the same
way we do on our campus at Western,” he said. “A link to GreenQuest can be found on the maintenance and Energy page of the district website, www.wb.k12.oh.us. If anyone in the district is interested in learning more about GreenQuest or has questions, Taylor can be reached at Western Brown School District at (937) 4442044.

McKinney also told the board that she had met with all the principals and Jina Bohl, curriculum director about a request from the board to have the principals attend more of the board meetings. “After meeting with all the principals, and coordinating all our calendars we’ve presented the board with a schedule that works for everyone,” McKinney said. “We tried to work around their calendars so that they don’t have to miss any functions going on in their buildings on board meeting nights.” McKinney briefly reviewed with the board the recently released numbers for the district on the Ohio report card ratings. “The new report card information is starting to come our way,” she began, “the achievement results in front of you this evening are the Western Brown results as we see it right now. We do have results of the building but as of last Thursday we were still getting results that were changing.” McKinney said she wanted to make sure she had all the final results before she put everything out. “It looks like right now we have met 20 out of the 24 indicators,” she added. “The new report cards look completely different than they did because they now changed to A, B, C, D and F grades.” McKinney told the board that the district needs to focus on the third grade reading mandate, the fifth grade math and science scores and the 8th grade science grades. In other business at the
meeting the board took the following actions including the employments of: • Kenneth Aaron Chase as WBHS social studies teacher; • Ashley Orick and Peter Francus as MOES kindergarten teachers; • Brandi Gill as MOES grades 2 & 3 summer reading intervention; • Corey Doyle as Southern
Hills JVS paid internship in the bus garage; • Lacey Houser as WBHS intervention specialist; • Gary Pottebaum as sub teacher/tutor; • Kevin Hisle as WBHS assistant band director. The board also approved several field trips, a van/lease agreement with Southern Hills and school fees.

Representatives from Wellington Orthopaedics spoke briefly to members of the Western Brown Local School District Board of Education July 15 regarding services their group has to offer. Last month during the June board meeting representatives of Beacon Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine spoke to the board and submitted a proposal. Beacon offered to build a clinic near the school for WB’s athletes. Kelly Martin and Lisa Sweederman spoke to the board about Wellington. She said Wellington has offices in Blue Ash and two in Cincinnati. Sweederman told the board that she wanted to share a little about a proposal that had been presented to WB athletic director Tim Cook. “Just to give you a little
background as to who we are and what we do,” she began, “We have been involved with this school district taking care of it for the last six years. We provide an athletic trainer who provides services to all your athletes and all the sports there. She is there on a daily basis and covers practices and events and special events including tournaments.” Sweederman continued, “Our proposal is for those services to continue. As part of our proposal, the fee that we used to charge the school for athletic services would go away. We also commit one team physician, Dr. Charles Miller to this district. He will go to football games, he makes visits, he sees all the athletes within a 24 to 48 hour period.” She added that these services are possible because Wellington has an office only six miles away in Sardinia. She said it provides an afterhours clinic that runs 5 to 9 p.m. Monday through Friday

The Heart Jeremiah 17 tells us the problem with all humanity. Go with me to verse 9: The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?” Our heart can and does deceive us many times. In fact, we can fool our self more than we can fool others. The heart can deceive us into thinking that we do not need God. It can tell us that we do not need to receive Jesus Christ as our Savior. But that is not true. It is deceitful. We need to be saved by grace through faith in Jesus. We cannot go to heaven without accepting Him into our heart. In Psalm 14:1 it says: “The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God....” That heart is a foolish and deceitful heart, it is sad to say, but there are many such hearts in this world. The heart is an interesting organ. It is the blood pump of the body. However, the Bible is not talking about your blood pump. When you look into the eyes of the one you love, you would not say: I love you with all my blood pump! No, you would say: I love you with all of my heart. That is the very seat of our emotions, of our whole being! That is what the Bible is talking about when it is speaking of the heart. It is our innermost self, our feelings, our emotions! Look at the terrible things that men and women do. The prisons are jammed full of people who cannot control their emotions. “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?” The answer to that question is in verse 10: “I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.” Our jails are over full to the point that they have to put people on house arrest because there is no room in the prisons. But let me tell you something: Hell will never run out of space! People who allow their heart to deceive them into thinking that they do not need Jesus will end up in Hell! On the other hand, Heaven will never run out of space either! As the old song says: “Get on board little children, there is room for many more.” There is room in Heaven for you! Look at verse 10 again: “I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to
DR. CHARLES SMITH MT. ORAB BIBLE BAPTIST CHURCH WWW.BBMTORAB.COM
his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.” We must not trust our hearts; we must trust the Holy Word of God! God cannot lie! Titus 1:2 states: “In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began...” Matthew 15:18-19 tells us: “But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man. For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies;” These are the things which defile a man. In Mark 7:6 Jesus said: “...This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.” That is lip service. Go to Romans 1:21: “Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.” In the Old Testament in Psalm 51:10 David prayed: “Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.” What a great prayer! Ladies and Gentlemen, I am suggesting that if you have not already done it, that you let Jesus Christ come into your heart and control your life. You will not regret it! It would not only benefit you, it would also benefit your family. David prayed for his family. In I Chronicles 29:19 David prayed: “And give unto Solomon my son a perfect heart, to keep thy commandments...” Even Christians can harden their hearts toward God but God can soften it. In Job 23:16 Job said: “For God maketh my heart soft...” So whether saved or not your heart is the heart of the matter! Get your heart right with God. “For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” (Romans 10:10)

July is not a good time to control bagworms
Car Show scheduled for Saturday, July 27
Bagworms I have received a few calls about controlling bagworms in the past week or two. Unfortunately now is not the best time to control these pests. You may be finding them in July, but they are now in their cocoon and able to avoid many of the control options. Bagworm is often the term used to describe other insects. The bagworm is most often found on evergreens. Trees like Blue Spruce are often heavily populated with this insect before they are noticed. The cocoon that hangs from the branches appears to be part of the tree. The bagworms will show up easier once they remove a large amount of the needles, and the tree can be heavily damaged. The most damage will take place in time if the bagworm is not removed. At this point of the year, they may have to be removed by hand. When removing the bagworm, care needs to be taken to reduce additional damage to the infested tree. The cocoon is attached to the branch with a pretty strong wrapping of the cocoon like material that is like silk. By simply pulling on the cocoon you can strip the needles on that branch. By leaving them

on the branch, the attached cocoon can eventually girdle the branch and kill it. You can use scissors or side cut pliers to cut the ring that attaches the cocoon to the branch by lightly pulling on the cocoon to get the point into the ring so it can be clipped.

The factsheet also has pictures. Fair Time in Adams County The number of crops that showed up at the Adams County Fair last Sunday appeared to be more than in recent years. The quality reflected the year that we have had to this point. As crops were brought in to be registered, we were talking and I was looking at the phone, just like last year.
This year I was looking at the phone (radar) watching spotty rain move through the southern part of Adams and Brown Counties, hoping the rain would miss us. Last year we were all watching our radars hoping the rain would come. What a difference a year makes. Well, I guess that part of is different, but the 90 degree temps………..they were just part of the Adams County Fair, as always.

Helping Ohioans beat the heat summer crisis program has begun July and August can be two of the hottest months of the year in Ohio, especially for those without air conditioning or a fan, Starting July 1 until August 31, 2013, the Adams Brown County Community Action Program (ABCAP) and Ohio Development Services Agency will help income-eligible Ohioans purchase an air conditioner or assist in the payment of an electric bill, helping them keep cool during the hot summer days. “For older Ohioans and
those with breathing conditions, the heat can take its toll. Together with ABCAP we are reducing the risk of heat illnesses in our communities,” said David Goodman, director of the Ohio Development Services Agency. Community Action at work In 21012, more than 1,689 families in Adams and Brown Counties were assisted through the Home Energy Assistance Program. The Summer Crisis Program provides assistance to low-income households with an elderly member (60 years or older), or households that can provide physician documentation that cooling assistance is needed for a household

Repeal Medical Device tax CONTINUED FROM PAGE 4 company would never have made it off the ground. At a time when the economy of our state and nation has not yet fully recovered from the recession, anything that kills jobs and hurts Ohio businesses is a bad idea. The medical device tax will cost Ohio hundreds of millions of dollars in economic impact that we can ill-afford. Opposition to this tax has been strong and it has been bipartisan. I recently joined with 78 of my colleagues in the Senate to make it clear that the repeal of the medical device tax is a priority for both parties. I am hopeful we can get rid of this tax once and for all very soon. As I travel throughout Ohio, not a day goes by without voters making it abundantly clear to me that they want Members of Congress to work together in a bipartisan manner to promote policies that will get hardworking Ohioans back into the workforce. I couldn’t agree more, and repealing the job-killing medical device tax is a great step forward in achieving that goal.

Mt. Orab Truth Seekers having fun learning about nutrition The Mount Orab Truth Seekers met on July 9, 2013 at 4 p.m. at the Mount Orab Wesleyan Church. The members had a guest speaker, Bethany Pritchard, (above, left) come and speak about nutrition. She taught us how to use household items to compare serving sizes of food. For example, one pancake should be about the size of a DVD. Another example is one baseball equals the size of a medium fruit and a ½ cup of chopped vegetables. We also got to play a nutritional activity with yarn. Olivia Lovett (above center pictured are, left to right, Luke Clubb, Abigail Dewitt, Jacob Clubb, Hailey Gregory, Mrs. Lovett, and Olivia Lovett) did a presentation of her project, setting the Stage. Our president, Abigail Dewitt (above, right) demonstrated her projects which were, Alcohol and Drug Abuse, Camp Counseling, Science Fun with Dairy Foods, and her Clothing project.

F’ville Champion Drive 4-H collecting used batteries The Fayetteville Champion Drive 4-H Club has been working as a team to keep each member on track with his/her project(s), as well as trying to better the community. Litter officers, J.J. Houk and Brandon Fisher, invited Sam Perin from Adams-Brown Recycling [for a second year] to our April meeting to talk about what’s new in the recycling. Handouts were given about what can be recycled. He spoke about Fayetteville’s recycling bins and some changes in our community’s curbside recycling pick up. Also mentioned was about the upcoming local community clean up days. Perin reminded the club about a service project that encouraged 4-Hers, family, and friends to collect all kinds of used batteries to be recycled. These will be used to help children learn to sort them by size, shape, and color. Then, they will be recycled! The club decided that this project was for a great cause so they agreed to help with the project and are currently still collecting. At the June and July meetings, the Club has different members bring their projects to the meeting and explain how preparation and the judging of that project works. This is a great way for the advisor to know how the members are doing on their projects and help to them practice showing and explaining what they know about their projects.

amount of money in excess of the loan amount that the village does not have.” Perraut, Phillips and Verville all expressed support for her position. Regarding the bond, the original amount borrowed was 2.7 million dollars. If held to maturity, the bonds would yield approximately five million dollars. Eitel said that bondholder Annette Mineer was offered 3.3 million dollars for the bonds, but Eitel did not say where such a payment would come from. In response to Eitel’s reasoning, Castle said the following in response. “In regard to the debt that Ms. Eitel referenced, it’s their spending for litigation and general spending. They are trying to drain the water fund. The EPA came to a previous council and said that a new plant would satisfy them, so that’s garbage. Number three, the feasibility study, which we paid $15,000 for, Ms. Eitel said we could not afford (a water plant). That’s not what the man told me in the hallway after the meeting. He said we could, it would just cost more. What Ms. Eitel didn’t say was that they drove up the price by sitting on it for two years. Regarding the bond holder, no matter who the bond holder may be, no one should be forced to take less money based on the interest they would have drawn, just to satisfy four people who don’t know what they’re doing.” The Aberdeen Council also discussed raising water and sewer rates at the July 17 meeting. The issue is expected to be discussed at the July 19 meeting as well.
that Wenninger is unqualified and taxpayers are being defrauded by paying for his salary. He is also arguing that the sealing of the court record by Ringland was improper. Regarding the motion, Brown County Prosecuting Attorney Jessica Little said “I’m not sure he can legally represent the state of Ohio in a criminal case.” The motion was filed in the criminal division of the common pleas court because the original case against Wenninger was a criminal case. Podolsky asked Little in April to file a taxpayer lawsuit to recover the money paid to Wenninger, but she refused to do so. In a response to Podolsky, Little said that there is no legal basis to challenge Wenninger’s current term of office by alleging he was not qualified to serve in 2000 or 2004. Little based her decision on a Ohio Supreme Court ruling in the long running
legal battle between Wenninger and former candidate for Sheriff Dennis Varnau. The high court ruled that Varnau could not seek to invalidate Wenningers current term of office based on an alleged prior disqualification from an expired term of office. Varnau also moved to have the Wenninger case unsealed in 2009. The motion was denied by Gusweiler in July of that year. Little also wrote in her letter to Podolsky that “Under Ohio law, one who assumes public office, even if he is held later to be ineligible to hold office, or if his appointment is later held invalid is a de facto officer...Sheriff Wenninger’s salary was paid to him in good faith, under color of law for services actually rendered. Accordingly, there is no legal basis to recover any public funds paid to Sheriff Wenninger, for his present salary or for expired terms. Varnau also moved to have the Wenninger case unsealed in 2009. The motion
was denied by Gusweiler in July of that year. Podolsky said if his motion is denied by Gusweiler, he will appeal the ruling directly to the Ohio Supreme Court. Wenninger had no comment on the effort.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 exception of homeowners under the homestead act). However, with the two levies already in place expiring, taxpayers will actually see a small drop in their tax bill since they will go from paying a 3 mills levy to a 2.6 mills levy. “When the 2.6 mills levy kicks in, in January, 2014, assuming it passes,” said Brown County Auditor Jill Hall,”, voters will barely notice a change in their tax bill, in fact, it could even be lower than in years past, there won’t be a huge difference.” Superintendent Kimble told the board that the levy is for permanent improvements at the schools. “This levy raises money for mandated technology upgrades, transportation upgrades and textbook upgrades, and anything that the district is going to use for multiple years, which is usually 8 to 10 years,” Kimble said. Earlier in the meeting, Kimble told the board that he had been in contact with Representative Doug Green, (on the boards behalf), regarding the possibility of getting something on the ballot in November. “As you all know,” Kimble began, “from the recent biennial budget, there were two districts in Brown County that received no extra state money. “We will receive a little over $68,000 but that was in year two of the budget. Georgetown, which is similar in size, in fact we’re a little bit larger, and the demographics are similar, received about $355,000 over the course of both years of the biennial budget.” Kimble went on to tell the board that Western Brown received well over $2 million more over the course of the biennial budget. “So, my question is, it’s time to find out just how it is determined who gets what?” Kimble said. “We need to know this because this issue is going to come up somewhere down the line for this board. I know this issue has been bothering me since these numbers were announced and I can’t imagine that no one else in Brown County isn’t any tighter for funds than Ripley.” Kimble said he is determined to find out the formula used to figure which district got what funds and why. The board later took the opportunity to thank Superintendent Kimble for serving the school for the last 20 months, seeing the district through some difficult times. The new superintendent Linda Naylor will take over for the district on August 1, 2013. District resident Denise Faris spoke briefly with the board about making a $1,500 donation to the board for specific use for the purchase of a memorial plaque to honor RULH 2011 graduate Ravye Williams who died in an auto accident last year. Williams was on his way to take part in drills as part of his duties with the US Army Reserves. He died as a result of the accident on July 15, 2012. Williams was a star basketball player and the community was devastated by his passing. A memorial scholarship fund was established in his name. Ms. Faris explained why she was making the donation, “On March 3 this year, I had a massive heart attack. I had a blood clot block my main artery to my heart and while I was recovering from that I made a list of things I should probably do in my lifetime.” Faris said that one of the things she wanted to do was to write a song, record it and hear it on the radio. She said she decided to write a rap song about Ripley. She said that people from the city often come to Ripley to get away from the hustle and bustle of the big city because of what Ripley has to offer. “So that’s what I did,” she continued, “I wrote my own rap song about Ripley, its a

would not be able to attend.” This would set up a third reading for the regular village council meeting on August 5, unless a third special meeting is called before then. Additionally, the village is facing another breach of contract lawsuit, filed on July 15. The suit was filed by Moody’s of Dayton, the company that drilled the two new wells for the proposed water plant. The company is asking for $67, 280.25. The motion to compel construction of the plant is a Writ of Mandamus. In it, Denver Ruggles, Jimmy Castle and Phyllis Bishop ask that Common Pleas Judge Scott Gusweiler order the village council to adhere to resolutions authorizing construction of the plant and to “stay any action by the current Village Council of Aberdeen, Ohio that would impede, interfere or conflict with the implementation of the aforementioned council resolutions.” The motion also asks Gusweiler to ban any “attempted transfer of the ownership of previously issued bonds” for the project. The petitioners are asking Gusweiler for an immediate decision to “prevent undue financial hardship to the citizens of the Village of Aberdeen, Ohio.” Council member Billie Eitel called the motion a “waste of time”, saying that “A current council cannot be held to uphold the resolutions of a previous council. If that were the case, we’d never be able to change anything.”
Eitel added that if it were true that current councils are bound to the decisions of past ones, then the past council could not have overridden the vote of village residents against the water plant in 2010. In response, Castle said “Council is legally bound to uphold all legally binding contracts and the majority of council is endangering the financial life of the village due to a lack of common sense.” Under the heading “Arguments”, the writ reads in part that “Petitioners argue that a majority of current council members of the Village of Aberdeen, Ohio are acting irresponsibly and in bad faith in regard to protecting village citizens from legal liability costs.” The village has already lost a breach of contract suit filed by Shinn Brothers, the firm contracted to build the water plant. Shinn Brothers has asked for almost $700,000 dollars in damages. A hearing to determine the amount of damages is set for mid-October. At the July 18 meeting, Eitel laid out four reasons why she was opposed to building a water plant in the village. “Due to the following circumstances and conclusions, due to the huge debt that will result in a tremendous increase in the citizen’s water rates, the fact that Ohio EPA has consistently stated they do not think it is advisable for the village to build a water plant...a feasibility study showed clearly that it was not in the best interest of the village to build a treatment plant, and due to the fact that the bondholder is requesting an unreasonable

great community, its beautiful river setting and the small town feel that it offers.” Faris said that after writing a song titled ‘Buckeye State of Mind.’ She recorded the song and friends began asking for copies and the requests quickly jumped to the sale of 100 CD’s. She said that although she didn’t know Ravye Williams, when she saw the plywood signs on the sides of the basketball courts in Ripley, she decided to donate all the proceeds from the sale (minimum donation of $5) to purchase a plaque in Williams honor at the court. Faris gave the board a copy of her plans which included the purchase of a 12 inch by 12 inch memorial plaque which includes a color photo of Williams. She also hopes to purchase two spectator benches and a player bench for kids using the basketball court. Faris added that she will be filming a video in November to go along with the song. The board thanked Faris for her gracious contribution and all the work that she had done for such a worthy recipient as Ravye Williams. The board accepted the donation as well as her plans for the funds. The board also said that a special dedication ceremony will be held when all the changes were put into place. More information on the CD can be found on the school’s website at wow.ripley.k.oh.us. Also in attendance of the board meeting were five high school students who spoke on behalf of their soccer coach Amanda Hauck who had handed in her resignation, effective July 14 after a dispute in scheduling games for her soccer team and the volleyball team. The girls explained that without members of the volleyball team, they only had
five girls for the soccer team. So when games were scheduled for both teams, at the same time, the soccer team could be forced to forfeit. One of the athletes said the team was very upset that Ms. Hauck had resigned and that they felt she was not treated with the respect she deserved. In other business the board discussed the hiring of Cody Prince as a part-time resource officer for the upcoming school year for $13,000. However, board member Barry Sims expressed some concerns that he did not understand the reason the position was necessary. The board tabled the issue until the next meeting to allow time to collect more information on his duties. The board approved or accepted the following issues including; • accept the resignations of Adam Johns (math teacher), Kevin Lester (food service director) and Amanda Hauck (girls soccer coach); • hire Stephanie Wagoner as 8th grade math/social studies pending certification; • hire Scott Tennant as part time middle and high school band teacher on a one year contract; • approve extended days/supplementals for extended service for several teachers and other staff members; • had the final reading to revise and adopt school policy regarding positive behavior intervention and supports and limited use of restraint and seclusion; • have final reading to revise the video surveillance and video monitoring policy; • approve an increase in lunch prices by .25 cents for staff lunches at the middle and high school. • bus stop routes were approved for the 2013-2014 school year.

Rabe said that he places a high priority in being involved in local communities where his stores are located. “For example, we sponsored a local football team in Vevay and held a dinner for local veterans at one of our other stores. We are looking to have the same level of community involvement in Georgetown.” Rabe also said that he and the local employees enjoy doing things like sponsor events at county fairs. “I am looking foward to joining the Georgetown community as a business owner and a participant in local activities.” Switzerland County Indiana County Councilman Tom Conroy said residents there are pleased with the store operated by Rabe. “It’s a clean, exciting place to go and offers things the community wants. The store has worked out better than we could have hoped for.”, Conroy said. Rabe has forty years of experience in the grocery in-
dustry, spending 32 years in management at Kroger and six years as President of Remke Markets. He said that despite what many may think, independent grocery stores are making a comeback in many communities. “Well run independent stores are growing in market share. They are more open to new ideas and trying new things more than large corporations in many instances. If you do a good job, invest in your people and in quality products, you’ll be successful.” Rabe also said that he likes to reward his employees for excellent work by paying a quarterly bonus to workers based on the performance of their stores. “If you want to keep people who are really concerned with customer service and doing a good job, it makes sense to share the profits of the store with them.” Rabe plans to have a community meeting soon to answer questions that residents have about the Georgetown store. Details on the time and location of the meeting will be published as soon as plans are finalized.

The event took place on June 2, 2013 at the Ripley Post 367. All of the Brown County American Legions and the American Legion Auxiliary unit's officers attending were sworn in. Most of the dedicated officers and trustees of the American Legions and American Legion Auxiliaries are to serve in their positions for 1 to 3 years but they can serve longer if he or she is willing to do so. Sometimes there is no one to oppose them during the election period. Each American Legion Post has a number of positions that must be filled. For example, some of the titles that must be filled are: Adjutant, Public Relations, Vice Commander, Children and Youth, and Trustee. There are also many opportunities for veterans that would like to perform in Honor Guard ceremonies for occasions such as flag raising ceremonies and funerals to help us remember what our nation stands for and that we are, One Nation Under God. The American Legion Posts have room for veterans of all ages who like to get together and support their community as well as receive support for themselves.

Indiana. Since 1989 the six-piece band has entertained audiences with its unique instrumentation that includes the accordion, saxophone and rub-board which is found mainly in the Zydeco and Cajunstyled bands of Southwest Louisiana. The Robin Lacy and Dezydeco Band is able to perform an all-original set or a whole night of mixed music featuring Zydeco, blues, old school country and roots rock. The group has performed at the Ohio State Fair, in Fairfield, New Richmond and the Cincinnati Zoo. “We are down to only four more concerts after this weekend with Robin

Cucumbers, either for pickling or slicing, have become one of the most popular planted crops in today’s home garden. Despite the fact that they require substantial growing space, they can still be grown in small gardens by training vines onto vertical structures that conserve garden space. They may also be grown in containers. The cucumber ranges in size from the small gherkin type to the long, thin slicing variety. There are also yellow and fruited varieties. As a gardener you can choose from the many varieties available to suit your needs. We all know the heartbreak of going to the garden and discovering wilted vines or spotty leaves on our beloved cucumbers. Now you must become a detective to correctly diagnose the cul-

prit! Take photographs and make notes about the progression of the problems. There are some very informative fact sheets available at ohioline.osu.edu that will help you diagnose the problem with your cucumbers. You will be amazed at the number of possible diseases! Gummy Stem Blight and Black Rot of Cucurbits (Factsheet HYG-3126-96) can occur at any growth stage, from seedling to mature plants. The disease on fruits, in the field or in storage, is called black rot. Leaf symptoms appear as dark yellow or reddish-brown lesions in various shapes. Lesions begin at leaf margins and extend rapidly back into the leaf blade, causing curling, shriveling, and death of the entire leaf. Gummy stem
blight is caused by the fungus Didymella bryoniae. The pathogen can be seedborne or can survive on organic debris from previously infected cucurbits or on wild or volunteer cucurbits. Management of this disease includes: 1) Use only disease-free seed produced in arid western locations, 2) Dispose of crop refuse or plow it deeply to reduce survival of the fungus as soon as crop is harvested, 3) Practice crop rotation with noncucurbit crops so that cucurbits are grown only every 3 to 4 years, 4) Apply foliar-protectant fungicides on a routine basis. See the Ohio Vegetable Production Guide (OSUE Bulletin No. 672) for current fungicide recommendations. What other diseases or insects might attack your cu-
cumbers? Cucumber beetles, aphids, mites, pickle worms, bacterial wilt, anthracnose, powdery and downy mildew, Fusarium wilt, and angular leaf spot are potential problems in the cucumber-pickle planting. The early and continuous control of the cucumber beetle is critical to success in growing cucumbers. The cucumber beetle can infect the plant with bacterial wilt as early as the cotyledon stage, when seedlings are just emerging from the ground. Bacterial wilt causes plants to wilt and die. A recent issue of VegNet (OSUE Vegetable Crops) warned growers that Downy mildew was confirmed in cucumbers in Wayne and Median counties in Ohio on July 3. It will be very important to check your garden daily as we head into the hot days of July and August. Remember that you can email your gardening questions to OSUE Brown County Master Gardener Volunteer, Mike Hannah, at mhannah2@msn.com. Starting this week, a Master Gardener will be at the Georgetown OSUE office on Wednesdays from 1:00 to 3:00 if you would like to stop by with a gardening question or problem. I am headed out to the garden to celebrate each cucumber I harvest. It’s time to make some pickles and a bowl of cucumber and onion salad!

Jenning’s journey far more than a bike ride BY Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press
Eastern High School graduate Gunner Pollitt is heading to Murray State University to compete for the Racers Bass Anglers team.

Mike Jennings has spent the past month and a half riding across America to raise awareness about unhealthy living and three organizations with local ties.
a WOW list, without wonder. As I'm doing this, I try to get the kids to write down things they would like... what would wow them? What would be something that would be amazing?” Jennings explained. “As we're doing this, as they're writing things down on their list, one of the students raised their hand and asked me, 'What's on your list?' I said, 'Well..' One of the things I said was I want to ride across the country on my bike. I kind of put my foot in my mouth and two years later that's what I'm doing.” Not something he may have expected to do, Jennings had set himself on this course when he made the decision to change his life in 2011. Approaching 290 pounds, and being forced to take blood pressure and acid reflux medicine, Jennings was inspired to change his life when his friend, Val Lewis, gave him a copy of the book “Clean” by Alejandro Hunger. The book talked about changing a few things in your life -- altering your diet, adding activities -- to become healthier. Utilizing just a few concepts, Jennings lost 14 pounds in nine days. It was then he knew he was ready to fully devote himself to becoming healthy. He started running and then bought his bike, which he began to take on rides

throughout Brown County. It was on those rides he began to realize how differently you see things on a bike, even in a place he knew as well as Brown County. That helped convince himself of making this journey across the country. “I thought, ‘What better way to see the country then on a bicycle?’” Jennings asked. Awareness for healthy living was always going to be a major point of emphasis for the trip but Jennings realized he had the opportunity to do more. He realized he could raise awareness for some charities and foundations that were near and dear to him, specifically the Brian Grant Foundation, Rachel’s Raising Hope Foundation and Spencer’s Army. All three have local connections not only to Georgetown but to Jennings in particular. The Brian Grant Foundation, ran by the former Georgetown basketball player and NBA veteran to help combat Parkinson’s Disease, was the first to get involved. Jennings also got Spencer’s Army, ran by friend Katie Kelly, involved quickly as well. The organization helps raise funds for vascular research at Cincinnati’s Children’s Hospital as well as providing help to families who travel to come to the hospital. Finally, the final organization Jennings wanted apart of his ride, and maybe the closest to his heart, was Rachel’s Raising Hope, which benefited the late Rachael Underwood and her family as she went through treatment for cancer. “Rachel passed away two weeks before I left. This whole process was planned way before. I've been planning for about a year,” Jennings said. “When that happened, now it's become more of a remembrance of her, of a special woman that passed away way too young.” With the planning done, Jennings set out for Oregon at the beginning of June. He started in Astoria because of its close proximity to Portland, Ore., where the Brian Grant Foundation is based. Once he dipped his back tire in the Pacific Ocean in Astoria on June 2, Jennings set off on his journey. By the time he reached Brown County on July 10, he’d already ridden 2,900 miles. It hasn’t always been easy -- the most memorable part of the ride thus far for Jennings was the difficult hills and strong headwinds he faced in Montana early in the ride that nearly derailed the entire trip before he fought through and got to the flat lands of North
Dakota and Minnesota -but its been more rewarding than Jennings could have imagined. “It's been great. There has been times where it's been a struggle and it's hard. That was planned, You know you're gonna have that,” he said. “It's amazing of the people that you meet. You meet some amazing people and see the beauty of our country. It's gorgeous. I've had rides where I rode 70, 80 miles and it didn't feel like a ride because I'm in awe of looking around at the surroundings.” Family and friends have came out to ride with and tag alongside Jennings throughout his ride but haven’t been there the entire time. Yet, even when he was riding alone, Jennings has always got whatever help he’s needed -- though he hasn’t ran into much. By the time he reached Brown County, the only issue he faced in nearly 3,000 miles was just one flat tire. “A lot of times I've met people along the way that I've rode with. It seems like every time I need somebody, somebody'll pop up,” Jennings said. “There's been times I've had a map out looking around like I don't know where to go and then all the sudden... one time a UPS guy came and he said, 'I'm a cyclist. Can I help ya?' I was looking for a cycling trail and he was like, it's right there.” Things like that is exactly what has stuck out to Jennings the most thus far on his journey. People he has met in the small towns from Oregon to Idaho and Iowa to Indiana have left indelible impressions on him. Still, what pleases him the most so far is how he’s been able to reach people. It’s been more than he could have ever hoped for. “The key thing is, like I said, I'm out here riding a bike. As many people that have told me that I'm inspiring them, they've inspired me tenfold. Without the people that support, like on my social media – the Facebook, Twitter, all that stuff – it's just so positive,” he said. “I'm getting videos all the time from people, some people I don't even know who they are. You're getting all the support. It's just incredible. “That's what's been more inspiring than anything. I've got people following me, now, from New York (and) from all over the country. People that I've never heard of, never known before, but they send a positive message. And that's what this whole thing's about, doing something positive. That's something that anybody can do. That's been the best part of it.”
Fishing success offers local young man unique opportunity for college BY Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press It’s funny how one seemingly innocuous decision can have such a big impact on one’s life. Deciding to do one thing over another can sometimes have a lasting impact. In the case of Gunner Pollitt, a 2013 Eastern High School graduate, his choice came about six years ago on a fishing trip. The decision was simple enough -did he want to enjoy an afternoon bass fishing, his first time fishing for bass, with a family friend or did he want to take part in a tournament that just happened to be taking place at the lake they were planning to fish. Pollitt, a Lake Waynoka resident, then 12 years old, decided he take a chance and compete in the tournament. It was quite the fortuitous decision for Pollitt. He would go to finish second in that tournament, thanks to, he admitted, a little beginners luck. that would set him on an unlikely path. Already someone who liked to fish, Pollitt became enamored with fishing competitively and his drive to succeed has paid off. Thanks in part to a victory at the Murray State Open in 2011, Pollitt earned a scholarship to continue his fishing career in college at Murray State University in Murray, Ky., beginning this fall. Oddly enough, all the this became possible because of that simple enough decision he made six years ago. “Once you got a little taste of success, you want more and more,” Pollitt said on Tuesday afternoon of his second place finish as a 12-year-old. “I started practicing and really developing.” Having gotten a little taste of competitive fishing, Pollitt was hooked. He continued to fish competitively and took his first big step a little over two years ago when he joined the Walmart FLW
Tour, a top professional fishing league. Since anglers have to be at least 16 to begin competing on the FLW Tour for money, Pollitt, now 18, joined the FLW Tour late in 2011, meaning he wasn’t able to fish an entire year. However, one tournament he competed in 2011, separate of the FLW Tour, turned into his biggest achievement to date. Pollitt, who has competed in two Ohio state championships, took part in the Kentucky State Championship/Murray State Open in April 2011 with teammate Daniel Sepeck of Bethel-Tate High School. Ineligible for the Kentucky State Championship as Ohio residents, Pollitt and Sepeck’s stellar weekend on Kentucky Lake earned them the overall title at the Murray State Open. The duo’s catch of 16 pounds, 11 ounces was exactly two pounds better than the second place team. They beat 72 other teams to win the title. As the victors, the duo won a $10,000 scholarship to Murray State. It was big moment for Pollitt. “When I won the tournament I was kind of like, I'm good at this. Lets see where I can take this,” he said. “That was kind of the defining moment.” Then a though cross his mind: “Maybe I can get my college paid for just by fishing,” Pollitt remembered thinking. That’s when things began to really pick up. Pollitt continued to see success as he continued to compete in the FLW Tour’s Bass Fishing League (BFL) for the second straight year in 2012. He saw enough success that he was ranked as high as No. 20 in the Tour’s rankings for much of the season out the 160 or so anglers who compete on the tour. During his time in the BFL, Pollitt was had three top-30 finishes and has won some money despite only have the chance to CONTINUED ON PAGE 15

Michael Jennings still doesn’t consider himself a cyclist. Not even as he nears the finish of his 3,500 mile journey across America on his bicycle. No, Jennings would like to believe that he is a little more than just a guy who will, when finished, have ridden his bike across 13 states, from the Pacific Ocean in Astoria, Ore. to the Atlantic in Yorktown, Va. He hopes he is someone who can inspire people to better themselves. As someone who has lost 65 pounds, and counting, in the last two years and tried to raise awareness for healthy living ever since, Jennings, a health and physical education teacher at Georgetown High School, seems to fit the mold of someone who inspires pretty well. His trip across the country on his bike would seem to drive that point home. Almost on a whim, with a little nudge from one his students in a health class, Jennings planned this journey across that country that began on June 2 to promote healthy living and inspire friends, family and his students to pursue their dreams. That wasn’t all he hoped to achieve, though. He has also used this journey, what has been termed the Pedaling with Purpose: Awareness Across America Ride, to raise knowledge, and donations, for three worthy foundations with local ties. By the time he rolled through Brown County on last Wednesday and Thursday, July 10-11, Jennings felt like he was getting his point across. “Anybody can do it. I'm not a cyclist. I'm not anything special,” Jennings said in an interview last Wednesday afternoon at the Press offices. “I'm just out here riding my bike and trying to accomplish something.” The entire idea for the trip germinated as Jennings was trying to inspire his students to achieve their dreams. That’s when one enterprising Georgetown student, as they were working on a project Jennings had assigned, posed the same question to the man in the front of the room. “In one of my health classes I give what's called

MRP hosts packed night of racing After being rained out over the holiday weekend, drivers and fans alike were anxious to get back to the racing action at Moler Raceway Park on July 12 and both would be rewarded with a fast racing surface and jam packed schedule of events, including six classes of cars and a fireworks show courtesy of Phantom Fireworks, Amelia, at intermission. After both taking impressive wins in their heat races, it looked to be a two car battle with both Chad Stapleton and Duane Chamberlain starting on the front row in the Late Model division. The two cars would stay door-to-door for the entire first three laps, battling each other furiously with Chamberlain edging Stapleton at the line before a caution came out on lap four. Chamberlain began slowly pulling away from Stapleton following the restart. A great battle ensured for third through fifth, with Bill Sheets, Alan Magner and Mike Meyers finishing in the top five. Jimmy Stricker, who won one heat race, would lead the first lap in the UMP Modified division but Matt Hamilton, who won the second heat, quickly pulled out to a big lead and cruised to a straightaway victory putting on quite a driving display as he worked his way through lapped traffic. Stricker would hang onto second and, much like during the Late Models division, the battle for third through fifth saw some great racing as Larry Pickelheimer, Jr., defending

Moler Raceway held its fireworks night on July 12.
track champion Jeremie Bretz and MRP newcomer Gary Hall III swapped positions throughout the race. However, Bretz would spin out on the last lap, which allowed Jimmy Lennex, Jr. to round out the top five. A special guest class would make its first-ever visit to MRP as the Outlaw four cylinders were in attendance and eager to try out a new track. Steve Cruse, Chip Mack, and Zach Ackley would run 1-2-3 for the first half of the Outlaw division A-main race but strangely enough on lap 11 all three cars would experience different mechanical issues and leave the track under caution. This odd turn of events left Dustin Gatwood with the lead and he would not relinquish it, leading the final half of the race with Stevie Thornsberry and Joe Johnson in pursuit. The Pure Stock division would return to MRP for its second visit of the season thus far and it was more of the same as Brandon Gibson would lead every lap of racing en route his victory. Charles Bowman, Tim Brearton, Joe Hurt and Dave Osterman would round out the top five in the feature event. Defending track cham-
pion Willie Butler would jump to the early lead in the Crazy Compact division feature, with a great battle for second through the first 10 laps until Michael Hensley, who had worked his way up to second from the tail, lost a wheel and flipped multiple times coming out of turn two. Hensley appeared to be OK but the race was red-flagged to clean up after the scary incident. It was all Butler on the restart as he would claim his fifth feature win in seven attempts on the season. Mike Gemmer would just nip Justin Dalton at the line to take second with Dalton, Dillan Harris and Matt Murrell rounding out the top five. The Chevette division would close out the evening’s races and on the start it was Spensor Watson, Boog Verdon and Rusty Yarger all mixing it up for the top three spots. Watson was eventually able to take control and, despite pressure from Yarger as they raced through lapped traffic, would hang on for his second win on the year. Yarger would come home second followed by Verdon, Josh Francis and Steve Pursely.

Pollitt: Will fish collegiately at Murray State Another prize he was awarded for winning the Murray State Open was a Murry State jersey. It was that jersey that caught the attention of some current Murray State anglers as he was out fishing during his summers. “I met with the guys on the fishing team. It kind of built up to where I knew everyone there and more and more came,” he explained of how the chance to compete at Murray State came about. The opportunity with the Murray State Bass Anglers has Pollitt very excited. It has also allowed him to think about the possibility of making the jump to becoming a full-time professional angler sometime in the future -- even if it is just thinking about it. “I'd like to dream about doing that. There is so
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 14 compete in the summer. “The summer is my time. I love going out in the summer,” he said. “During the school year, I get to go a few times.” It was while he was fishing competitively the past two summers that he really began to see he had the opportunity to compete collegiately for Murray State, who is not only the current top ranked collegiate squad, among the nearly 550 clubs who participate (teams compete as clubs in college because the prize money anglers can win would violate NCAA bylaws if it was a sanctioned sport), but also won a national championship in 2009. Yet, it wasn’t just the scholarship money Pollitt won in 2011 that allowed this opportunity to come to light.
much... I have so much respect for those guys. There's so much risk in that,” Pollitt said. Still, Pollitt is eager to take advantage of the opportunity in front of him -- a chance to fish competitively in college while having some of the costs of classes offset. He plans to double major in business management and marketing before focusing on sports management and representation once he gets his bachelors degree. His hope is to one day become a sports agent. For now, though, Pollitt is just going to sit back and enjoy his moment. And, of course, fish. “I always loved fishing. It's fun,” he said. “There's nothing that can beat it. You get to be outside, enjoy the weather and catch some fish.”
