3 resign in Aberdeen, Mayor Foxworthy cancels council meeting after internet threat published BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press The village of Aberdeen is dealing with three resignations and the Aug. 6 village council meeting being cancelled because of an internet threat. Police Chief Clark Gast, Village Council Member Joe Sprague and Village Clerk Bernice Jones have all submitted resignation letters to Mayor Harry Foxworthy. The mayor has not had the opportunity to present the letters to council because of the cancelled meeting, and has chosen to not release the reasons for the resignations of Gast and Jones until their letters are officially presented.
Sprague submitted an email statement to the Press which read; “I had to vacate my office as councilman for the Village of Aberdeen as it became necessary for me to relocate my residence to another part of the state for my employment. I appreciate all the support and encouragement of my constituents and wish the village my very best for the future.” The Aug. 6 village council meeting was cancelled by Foxworthy after a threat to council members Billie Eitel and Jason Phillips was posted on the topix.com website. The threat has since been removed, but it was provided to the Press by Eitel. Spelling errors in the post
have not been corrected. It read; “I wish someone wearing an orange wig would go to the Aberdine council meeting with an AR-15 ands Billy Idol should be first then stupid Jason Phillips next. With those 2 out, things might improve.” The reference to the orange wig brings to mind James Homes, who was seen in court in Aurora, CO, with orange hair. Holmes is charged with multiple murders after allegedly opening fire in a movie theater on July 20. An AR-15 is a semi-automatic rifle similar to a military M-16. Foxworthy said he contacted the Department of Homeland Security when
notified about the threat, and was advised to take it seriously and cancel the meeting. Foxworthy asked the Brown County Sheriff’s Office to investigate the threat, and Brown County Sheriff’s Office Chief Deputy John Schadle confirmed that the Sheriff’s Office was investigating the issue. Brown County Prosecuting Attorney Jessica Little said she had “grave concern over threats of this nature made on a public forum.” Eitel said that the threat was first found online by the wife of Jason Phillips, and that she was contacted about it. “I’m very upset by this”,
Eitel said. “I’ve been harassed before on that stupid site, but to bring in a threat and talk about people being shot is obscene and wrong.” She continued, “It’s frustrating that there are people who think they can intimidate Jason and I into changing our opinion or quitting. This is not going to change what I feel is my duty as a council member. They are not going to stop me from doing what’s right in my heart.” Eitel was referring to the heated discussions in the community and council over the decision to stop work on a new water treatment plant in the village. Phillips was equally upset at the threat.
“This is the third threat against me that I’ve seen. It’s scaring my family and that upsets me”, he said. “It’s a shame and childish to make threats like that. I just want people to realize that I’m trying to do my best for the village.” Phillips added “I think it comes down to the water issue”. Village Council Member Jay Castle agrees. “I think this threat was a ruse to cancel the meeting”, Castle said. “I know that there were some questions that were going to be asked at the meeting that some people don’t want to answer.” Castle said that Aberdeen resident Phyliss CONTINUED ON PAGE 6

changes are an effort to improve student safety and traffic flow. The biggest change will surround the middle school. Parents will now be asked to enter on Western Avenue on the eastern side of the building instead of on Campus Way. Vehicles will turn left into the parking lot behind the building, drop off children, and then continue to Campus Way. Buses will also enter on Western Avenue, but will exit on a service road out of the parking lot onto West Main Street. The modular buildings on that side of the school have been removed to make more room for that process. To assist in smoother
traffic flow, the Village of Mt. Orab has extended a dedicated lane on West Main Street between the middle school and Campus Drive that will allow drivers to turn left without having to wait for a break in oncoming traffic. More traffic is expected this year because the Western Brown School Board has ended bus service to high school students who live less than five miles from school. Burrows said that even without those extra cars, the traffic pattern had to change. “If you’ve been involved in that traffic pattern with the middle school, it was a pain for parents to try to pull in, snake around, drop CONTINUED ON PAGE 24

The old Norfolk and Western Railroad trestle that crossed over State Route 32 at MowrystownSardinia Road is now but a memory. Construction on dismantling the old trestle began in early June. The structure itself was removed last week according to Kathleen Fuller, public information officer for the Ohio Department of Transportation, District 9. “The intersection there at 32 and Mowrystown-Sardinia Road has been the site of quite a few accidents and near misses,” Fuller said. “It was hard to see the traffic coming from either direction on 32 because of that trestle as well as the walls holding it up. “It was a sight-distance issue, and with planned resurfacing for that part of Highway 32 scheduled anyhow, ODOT decided to add this project into their plans in early 2011.” The walls began coming down on August 6. The ground where the wall once stood will be leveled down eliminating all visual obstacles which will make the intersection much safer. “The resurfacing project on St. Rt. 32 will begin at Freeh Road in Eagle Township and run up to Purdy Road (St. Rt. 134) in Sardinia,” Fuller added. Fuller said the John R. Jergenson Company is doing the work at the site which is a $3.1 million job, to resurface all four lanes, do some bridge touch-ups and build parapet walls. “The project should be complete by the end of November,” she added.

BRAIN VERSUS HEART
Walter E Williams wrote a short article about thinking with the brain (objective) versus the heart (subjective). (WND.COM) Dr. Williams is an economist. His article concludes: “In other words, we need to think with our brains, not with our hearts.” This is also true with Christianity. We need to think objectively and not subjectively. Christianity is a taught religion. It is a reasoned religion. Isaiah starts with: ““Come now, let us reason together”, says the Lord.” (Verse 1:18) Jesus says we are to teach and baptize and teach the convert. (See Matthew 28:19-20) When Philip came across the Ethiopian eunuch he asked: “Do you understand what you are reading?” We could list many more examples of how Christianity is to speak to the mind and be reasoned. Does that mean we don’t get heart-broken or tenderhearted about things? Of course not. For instance, to see ones child be immersed into Christ is heart-lifting! To see the prodigal son return raises our heart beat for sure! Emotions exist. Tears come. The big deal? When we think subjectively (heart/emotions) and not objectively (brain) then we can easily fall into the temptation to change God’s words. The objective words of God (the Bible) are to be taught and followed. When I throw my heart in the teaching, I may be tempted to change the objective words of God. For instance, God is clear when he says that he hates (even detests) ‘hands that shed innocent blood’. Proverbs 6:17. Yet, some Christians thinking with their heart will justify abortion. I cannot be burdened with a child right now. The world is too overcrowded anyway. See, the objective words of God say
we do not murder the unborn. But the heart will change God’s words. How about this: God says that a man does not lay with another man as he would a woman. (Leviticus 18:22) The subjective heart speaks up and says, “But they are in love and devoted to one another.” The objective words of God often get overruled – by Christians! How about this: God says to be repentant and be immersed into Christ for the remission of sins and the gift of the Holy Spirit. (Acts 2:38) But then the heart comes in and says, but Aunt Effie was only sprinkled or Grandma Jones said a ‘sinner’s prayer’. They were good people and they are surely in Heaven! Even within the Churches of Christ the subjective wording comes out. We think that a person should/ought to be immersed to be saved. Should/ought are not Biblical words. Dr. Williams writes, “’Some might say, “Williams this thinking of yours is not very compassionate!’” You might be thinking the same of this article. He writes on, “I believe that being compassionate toward one’s fellow man requires dispassionate thinking.” Listen, eternal salvation is at stake! The words of God are clear. The heart and emotions are often unclear. They will change with time and circumstances. God’s words never change. There is life in them! The truth is in them! Salvation is found in them! “Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth.” John 17:17 Amen, Lord Jesus! “All the churches of Christ send greetings.” Romans 16:16

Helping farmers, our favorite entrepreneurs Farming is never an easy way of life, with some years more trying than others. Each year represents a roll of the dice and the uncertain possibility of a boon or a bust. This year is no different as weather challenges once again plague farmers. Mathematically, this year’s agricultural drought is the worst we’ve seen in 50 years. To the non-farmer, drought means brown grass and the inconvenience of having to water gardens and flowers. To the farmer, it means thousands of dollars invested in the season’s crops are literally hanging in the balance. This hot and dry weather is wreaking havoc on crop production right now. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Office, 50 percent of the state’s corn crop is currently rated ‘poor’ or ‘very poor’. That means half of the 3.9 million acres of corn planted in the state this year may be barely usable. Soybeans are also taking a hit, with 37 percent of the crop in less than fair condition. Things have gone downhill quickly. Those figures for corn have doubled in the last five weeks. Around 81 percent of the topsoil in the state has an inadequate amount of moisture to grow crops well. That means, even if it starts raining today, much of the corn in the state is beyond help. There will be farmers in Ohio who planted fields that may produce almost nothing. Imagine that for a moment. This is the equivalent of working hard at your job and then not receiving a paycheck. The effects of this drought are far and wide-reaching. The livestock producers in the state are going to be hit hard this fall. Drought conditions are not conducive to good hay, and if livestock aren’t eating hay, they’re eat-

ing corn or grain. With yields for those crops shrinking, the cost of feed come harvest time will be very high. Across the nation, farming is still an industry of family businesses. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, 98 percent of farms are family owned and account for 82 percent of farm production. In Ohio, the food and agriculture industry is of critical importance to the overall business climate of the state. It adds $105 billion each year to the economy and employs 1 in 7
hold meetings around the state to help connect Ohio farmers to those federal resources, if or when they become available. The Department of Agriculture will come up with a website to connect farmers who may have grown more hay than they need, to farmers who don’t have enough to feed their herds. In addition, it will direct the Ohio Department of Transportation to waive oversize load limit permits for hay haulers so that we can transport more hay, faster, to farmers who need it. We can’t make it rain but we can help farmers, our favorite entrepreneurs. These initiatives will at least bring a little relief to Ohio’s farmers in the midst of the most widespread drought in more than 50 years.
DANNY BUBP knowledge and experience as an attorney, legislator and former juvenile judge will certainly be a valuable asset to our committee moving forward”, said Clermont County Commissioner Bob Proud. “I am honored to be appointed by the Speaker to the RECLAIM Ohio State Advisory Committee,” said Rep. Bubp. “We have a number of challenges facing our young people today and I look forward to partnering with RECLAIM Ohio and the Clermont County commissioner to provide topnotch community rehabilitation services to our youth.”

Letters to the Editor Adams-Brown WIC celebrates national breastfeeding month Dear Editor, Imagine that someone had invented a new wonder product to feed and immunize everyone on earth. Imagine also that it was readily available everywhere, needed no storage or delivery and even reduced the risk of cancer and obesity. Next, imagine that the world refused to use it – crazy huh? The wonder product is human breast milk, available to all of us at birth, and sadly many babies are not getting it. Breastfeeding is normal, natural, safe, and the only food that promotes optimal health in infants. In this time of economic crisis, it is important to realize that breastfeeding also saves money.

people with jobs. Governor Kasich is fond of saying farmers are his favorite entrepreneurs. He understands the importance of agriculture to our economy, and that Ohio farmers could use some help. That’s why the governor just signed an Executive Order that will provide much-needed assistance, to make sure they are not forced to abandon their fields or herds. The Executive Order asks the U.S. Department of Agriculture to designate Ohio as an agricultural drought disaster area, so that Ohio farmers can access much-needed resources from the Farm Service Agency to help them feed their animals and purchase seed so they can plant next year. It directs the Ohio Department of Agriculture to

Surgeon General’s Call to Action to Support Breastfeeding, if 90 percent of families followed the recommended guidelines to exclusively breastfeed their infants for six months, the United States would save $13 billion dollars per year on reduced medical expenses and other costs. Individual families can save $1,200-$1,500 per year by following recommended breastfeeding practices and not purchasing infant formula. According to the Center for Disease Control’s Breastfeeding Report Card in 2011, 66.8 percent of women in Ohio initiate breastfeeding, which makes us 40th in the nation. Only 8.6 percent of those women
are exclusively breastfeeding at six months. We can do better! Mothers encounter many obstacles when attempting to breastfeed, including lack of societal encouragement and approval and lack of support and instruction from health care professionals, hospitals, and workplaces. Everyone can show support for breastfeeding moms! Please call your local WIC clinic for more information about how you can support breastfeeding!

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Bishop had prepared a presentation for council that would show that the village could afford the water plant and should continue the project to build it. “(Bishop) talked to Billie Eitel on Friday, and all of a sudden this threat appears on Saturday”, Castle said. “I would hope that someone wouldn’t make a threat like that, but it was an awfully convenient threat at an awfully convenient time.” State law requires that village councils meet at least once every 30 days, and the last Aberdeen council meeting was July 2. At press time, Foxworthy had not rescheduled a meeting.

Workers unearth the time capsule from 1912 at the Liberty Monument on Front Street.
Ripley marks 200 years CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Monument on Front Street near the river, according to Carol Stivers, chairman of the time capsule project. “When the backhoes located the time capsule we found out it was actually inside a vault that was made of iron,” Stivers explained. “We weren’t at all sure what we would find, because there have been several Ohio River floods since it was placed there in 1912.” It took over three hours to unearth the 1912 time capsule. copper box that was removed had a small hole in it where water was leaking out. It was immediately enclosed in a plastic container and taken to a vault at First State Bank. After discussing the water issue with Art Recovery Technologies (ART) in Columbus, the box was taken to the elementary school and placed in the freezer. After being rock-solidly frozen the capsule was taken to ART, where it was slowly thawed out. ART took over 100 photographs during the process in order to document her discoveries. “The restoration company are experts at restoring items that have been damaged by fire, blood or water,” Stivers said, “So we were all crossing our fingers and hoping for the best.” ART experts found that there was no sealant residue around the top closure of the container, but felt that time could have caused it and there might have been sealant at one time. On Sunday evening during the closing ceremonies, the 1912 time capsule was opened in front of a large, anxious crowd. People had come as far away as Texas and Tennessee for the official opening of the capsule. Some of the items in the capsule were unable to be saved or restored but the items that were still in tack were wonderful to look through, according to Stivers. The following items were among the items that were saved: • 3 unique medallions, featuring a picture of James Polk, founder of Ripley on one side and information about the centennial on the other side; • many relics of the times, papers, newspapers, photographs; • approximately 30 pennies from the time period, donated by school children which helped pay for the capsule; • a scrapbook that was virtually destroyed, all but the leather cover; • a framed picture of someone yet to be identified. “According to the recently released book, Ripley, Ohio History, The Last 50 years,” Stivers continued, “Many families were there for the opening of the capsule because their family members were among those who placed pennies in the capsule in 1912. “Ironically, my relatives, Zua and Frank Stivers were the coordinators of the time capsule
buried in 1912. They decided what went into it.” She said all the papers and other information from the old time capsule was placed on 10 different large panels and is now on display at the Union Township Public Library in Ripley for everyone to see and enjoy. Stivers said that a great deal of thought has been put in to what will go in the 2012 time capsule which will be buried in the exact same spot, to be opened in 2112. “We will be burying the new capsule in a few days,” Stivers said. “It will contain newspapers of course, a phone book, year books from the school, graduation announcements, a cap and gown, business cards from all over town, church bulletins and directories. “Pepsi has donated one of their newest pop cans, empty of course and an
empty, but new, Mountain Dew can. The banks have all donated calendars, and some of their give-away items that identify them. “The artist John Ward donated a picture and the fire department and the legions have all made donations.” Stivers plans on cataloging every item that goes into the new time capsule which will be preserved by the historical society. She added that the time capsule will be placed inside a 14 inch by 22 inch vault which will be welded shut. “Hopefully the new 2012 stainless steel time capsule will maintain a water-tight seal which will protect the contents for the next 100 years,” Stivers said, “The unveiling of this 2012 time capsule is estimated to be on Sunday, August 7, 2112.”
Roberts indicted on theft charges CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 the Inspector General’s office that he found a photograph of Roberts and others posing with harvested deer while wearing their uniform pants. Following an investigation, Roberts was found to be hunting on state time and falsifying records by claiming work hours for when he was actually hunting. Brown County Prosecuting Attorney Jessica Little issued indictments based on
the findings of the investigation. “After reviewing the Inspector Generals report, I felt that the facts should be presented to the Grand Jury. They felt, as I do, that these two men took public money and betrayed the public trust because they chose to hunt while being paid by taxpayers”, Little said. Roberts was placed on restricted duty on July 19 by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources.

Each of the 4 Gospels begin a little differently. John begins with: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” Luke begins: “Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which are most surely believed among us”. Matthew begins with: “The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.” But Mark begins: “The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the son of God”. The book of John revels Jesus as God and Mark revels Him as a servant. He does not mention the birth of Christ or His position as king; he simply states the beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ. New versions tells us that the Gospel is the good news. They try to over simplify the Bible because they think we are to dumb to understand the King James Version. I am insulted by that and you should be too. The Gospel is not just simply good news! Good news is when a young couple gets married or a baby is born, or any other happy event that takes place. The Gospel is the specific good news that Jesus Christ died, was buried, and resurrected. That is the good news that the Gospel describes. There is no other Gospel. Paul said in Galatians 1:8: “But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.” Therefore, it is belittling to say that it is nothing but the good news because it is so much more than just ordinary good news! It is the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God! What a wonderful message that you and I have to tell to other people! It is not the death, burial, and resurrection of just anyone. It is the death, burial, and resurrection of a sinless human being. He was the only human being that had never committed one single solitary sin throughout His entire life. The Bible tells us that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. Jesus is God! He never sinned! We have inherited a sinful nature from Adam after he had committed sin. Adam and Eve were created sinless but that perfection did not last long. As a result sin was passed to all

mankind and we are born with that sinful nature. Although babies are born sinners they are under the age of innocence until they are old enough to know and understand that they are sinners. Therefore when a baby dies it goes directly to heaven. But if you are old enough to read this you are old enough to know that you are a sinner and do have to be saved in order to go to heaven! You are no longer under the age of innocence. In I Timothy 1:15 the apostle Paul considered himself the chiefest of sinners. He felt that way because he had persecuted the church. In those days the Christians thought the church of great importance. But now church appreciation has deteriorated drastically among Christians and they no longer consider the holiness of the church. Jesus said: “...upon this rock I will build my church...”. There are a lot of verbal attacks upon the church and upon men of God. Cults have targeted the Protestant churches and infiltrated them until the people can not tell the difference between sound doctrine and allegories. Where are the strong churches of yesteryear? Today they talk about social issues, the weather, don’t cut down the trees, and keep the planet green! There is nothing wrong with those topics but that is not the purpose of church! The purpose of the church is the Gospel of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ!! Whatever happened to the preachers like John and Charles Wesley or Billy Sunday? We need to get back to that type of old fashion preaching of the Gospel of Christ! There are souls dying and going to Hell every second of every day! Wake up church and realize that Satan has focused all his guns against the church because it is responsible for the Gospel of Christ. Therefore, spread the Gospel!!!

G’town UMC to hold Christian concert The choir of the Georgetown United Methodist Church will present a concert of Christian and Gospel music “We Can’t Stop Singing” on Sunday evening, August 19 at 7 p.m. The Concert will be at the Methodist church at South Main and State Street in Georgetown. The concert selections are popular tunes that the choir sang at services throughout the past season. They are upbeat with melodies that will have the audience humming as they leave the church. Jane Sininger will provide a flute accompaniment on two numbers. One familiar number is “Down to the River to Pray” from the Movie “O Brother, Where Art Thou?” Methodists in Georgetown have always been singing. Back in 1820’s when the first Methodist Church was built; it was a log house across from the
Grant Boyhood Home. They had only one hymnal so the congregation did “line singing” by rote. They did not have an organ or piano. Then in 1847 the First Methodist Church was built in the present location. The members began purchasing individual hymn books for their families. Then in the 1860’s the lining of hymns was on the way out and the term choir was used for the “best” singers who sat in the first 2 rows of the church and led the hymns. It was then determined that the choir needed an organ so a melodian type organ was purchased in 1868. A pipe organ was purchased in 1911 and was such a wonderful addition to the church. A fire destroyed the organ and everything else in 1926. Only the walls were left standing but the members gathered together and re-
built the church using the walls left from the fire. A dedication was held during the entire week of May, 1929 with much music by the choir every night accompanied by a small organ. Ada Sharp and Nell Brown were both in the choir at that time. A fine new electronic organ was purchased in the early 1950’s and is still used today. Jane Sininger and Glenna Smith both began accompanying the choir in 1964. Several other members of the present choir began singing in the children’s choir in the 1940’s and continued to sing in the adult choir for more than 40 years. Glenna Smith has directed the choir for over 35 years. Members of the current choir range from ages 12 to 90. Refreshments will be served after the concert in the fellowship hall.

I have also included the student fee schedule to the end of this article. This information is also available in the school offices and on the District website. Student fees need to be paid up-to-date as one requirement for participation in field trips, dances, and other extra-curricular activities. If you are reading this article and are new to our school district, WELCOME! If you have children to enroll in one or more of our schools, please do so prior to August 20.

Please bring to the school your child’s birth certificate, shot record, a copy of the last report card (if applicable), and a copy of custody papers for your child (if applicable). Being prepared will help save time and possible frustration when enrolling your child in a new school district. We are so happy to have you and your child with us as a part of our school community, and we thank you for choosing the RULH Schools. If you are not new to the Ripley Union Lewis Huntington School District, but know of someone who is, please share this information with our newcomers. Please keep in mind that RULH School District offers an all-day every day kindergarten program. If your child will be 5 years old on or before September 30, then he or she is eligible to enroll in kindergarten for 2012-13. If you haven’t already enrolled your child for kindergarten, please do so very soon. Call the elementary school at 392-1141 for more information. Also, RULH Elementary School offers an all-day/four days a week pre-school program staffed with excellent teachers. If your child is between the ages of 3-5 he/she may qualify. I urge you to contact the elementary office at 3921141 for more information regarding our pre-school

Painting has been done where needed. A science lab at the high school has been updated to working order. The water damage at the high school has been repaired. The gym floors at the middle and high school buildings have been repainted and resealed. The parking lots at the elementary and middle schools have been resealed and restriped. I may have left out some other minor improvements, but I do want to point out once again that these improvements were paid for from our half mil maintenance levy fund and not from the general fund. I would also like to point out how fortunate we are to have the great school facilities that we have here at RULH. Being as new as they are, they will be here for a long time. As such, we must respect and care for our facilities on a daily basis. Again, I want to thank all of our parents for allowing the RULH School District the opportunity and privilege to educate your children. I hope that your child(ren) will have a great school year and will learn much from our wonderful staff. Our buses will be rolling on Wednesday morning, August 22, 2012 for the first day of classes.

Brown Countians work OSF FCCLA booth BY Sierra Colliver and Alicia Gifford Georgetown FCCLA Sierra Colliver, Alicia Gifford, Shelby Griffith and Jenna Griffith along with their Adviser, Brenda Dixon and parent chaperon, Charlotte Gifford and Tanja Griffith attended the Ohio State Fair. The group worked the Ohio FCCLA fair booth engaging fair goers in a demonstration on the danger of drunk driving and distractions while driving. Using materials from Health UC Georgetown office they were able to show fair goers the danger of distractive driving by having them complete and activity by counting backward from 100 and trying to match different shapes to a mat in 30 seconds. Then the fair goer would put on
drunk driving goggles (these goggles simulates how a person would feel and what they would see when they were over the drinking limits of .08 to over .2) Fair goers found they could not do this simple task in the 30 seconds showing how a simple thing as counting backwards is a distraction just like talking on a cell phone or adjusting the radio are all distractions. Their second activity was a DUI Mario Kart race. Using a Wii and the Mario Kart game, fair goers were instructed to put on the drunken driving goggles and walk a straight line and then try to do the video course. Many found it impossible to do. The group enjoyed visiting the fair, eating fair food, riding the sky lift and visiting other fair booths and activities.

When 48 year old Beverly Ogden of Sardinia passed away quietly in her sleep July 30 this year, her husband Troy and his family were devastated. Diagnosed with multiple sclerosis at the age of 31, Beverly managed to raise a blended family of seven children. Like many families across America, the Ogden’s were unable to obtain any kind of life insurance for Beverly because of her pre-existing illness. Faced with growing funeral expenses that the family had no way of raising, one of the couple’s children suggested the family turn to their community and friends for help. “I knew we didn’t have the $7,200 for mom’s funeral,” Brandon Pendergrass said, “So we organized a fundraiser in about two days. We decided to have a spaghetti dinner at the Sardinia Life Squad building and charge $8 for adults and $4 for children. We had to try.” Brandon invited everyone he knew to come out and enjoy a spaghetti dinner and even placed it on his facebook account and had it announced on the
Beverly Ogden
radio. He and the other family members also invited everyone they knew. Beverly was buried on Friday, August 3, and the fundraiser was set for the next day from 4 to 9 p.m. “There is absolutely no way we could have anticipated the support and encouragement we received from our little Sardinia community,” said Tiffany Roush, one of Beverly’s daughters. Struggling to talk about the event, a very emotional Roush said that close to 400 people visited the life squad that day. Not all of them took part in the spaghetti dinner, but all of them made some kind of donation.
She said that even a Kentucky motorcycle group, just passing through the village, stopped in and took up a collection in their group for a donation. A couple of days before the event, Tiffany contacted the Multiple Sclerosis Society for information on the disease. The society overnighted the family some posters and other items to pass out to visitors to the fundraiser. “In five hours, we raised $9,600,” Tiffany said. “We only needed $7,200.” Tiffany said firefighters from the Mt. Orab Fire Department made a donation along with Martin’s Grocery, Kroger in Mt. Orab and the Kroger in Amelia,

where Beverly once worked. Even the wife of the Sardinia mayor, Judy Bumbalough, made a large variety of desserts and donated them to be sold at the event according to Tiffany. “The Sardinia United Methodist Church held a huge dinner after the funeral and fed everyone,” she said. “ What a wonderful thing to do.”
She continued, “How do we even begin to thank all these people who opened their hearts and opened their pockets for our family?” Tiffany asked. “The rest of the money we raised will be donated to the Multiple Sclerosis Society.” Tiffany said her family will forever be grateful to everyone for helping in their time of need.
Operation Christmas Child to break shoe box milestone BY Martha B. Jacob The Brown County Press

Sheriff’s Office confiscates marijuana plants Sheriff Dwayne Wenninger reports that on August 2 and August 3, 2012, the Brown County Sheriff’s Office in a joint effort with the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation and Identification conducted marijuana eradications in Brown County. Sheriff Wenninger stated that a total of 170 marijuana plants were located over the two day period. The plants were located in fields in various locations throughout Brown County. When mature, the marijuana plants would have been worth approximately $170,000.00. Sheriff Wenninger encourages anyone with information on illegal drug activity to contact the Brown County Sheriff’s Office Drug Information Hotline at 937-378-4435 #Ext. 275 or you may send an anonymous tip via the Sheriff’s Website at www.browncountyohiosheriff.us .

Across America children receive gifts for their birthday’s, Christmas, graduations, good grades, sometimes just for doing a chore. But in many countries, some children never receive any gift of any kind in their lifetime. Samaritan’s Purse, a nondenominational evangelical Christian organization has worked hard over the past 40 years to change that statistic and through the “Operation Christmas Child’ program they are succeeding. Since 1993, more than 94 million boys and girls from over 130 countries have been the joyful recipients of shoe box gifts. Each shoe box is packed with items such as school supplies, pens, pencils, sharpeners, crayons stamps and ink pad sets paper, solar calculators or coloring books. Other items include all kinds of small toys, like kazoos, harmonicas, yo-yos, jump ropes, slinky toys and stuffed animals. Personal hygiene items are also very popular, things like toothbrushes, toothpaste, mild bar soap, combs and washcloths.

The Operation Christmas Child program hopes to break the 100 million gift-filled shoe box milestone this year. The program began in 1993. Shown here are just a few of the children from Uganda that received a shoe box earlier this year.
This year’s South Central Ohio Area Coordinators of the Operation Christmas Child (OCC) program are Ed and Helen Hiestand. Brown County is part of their district. “As Brown County schools prepare to open their doors for another year of learning,” said Helen Hiestand, “most parents and children will begin shopping for back-to-school bargains using a school-issued supply list as their guide. “We would like to encourage parents and children to think beyond their own backpacks and buy extra school supplies for children they have never met.” OCC will reach some 8.5 million children who are suffering because of natural disaster, disease, war, terrorism, famine and poverty. “As coordinators of the South Central Ohio area, Joe and I were privileged to hand deliver many of the shoe boxes from our area to children during a recent trip

to Uganda,” Hiestand said. “At our first stop we delivered 108 boxes to children who had been chosen by area Uganda churches to receive one of the gift boxes. “I just can’t explain to anyone what it was like to see these children open their gift box and study each little thing as they pulled it out. There are just no words to describe the look on their faces. The whole experience was simply overwhelming. Things we in America see every day, like a pair of plastic sunglasses or a piece of toy jewelry or a doll baby, were magical to those children, and being a small part of those smiles has changed our lives forever.” Hiestand said over 300 churches in Uganda signed up children to receive the shoe boxes, but hundreds and hundreds of other children looked on as the chosen few opened their gifts. “By purchasing extra school supplies this year and becoming a part of Operation Christmas Child,” she added, “the people of Brown County can help us break the 100 million giftfilled shoe box milestone we are trying to reach this year. “The Sardinia Church of Christ has long been a relay/drop off site for the OCC shoe boxes, but we are looking for other churches in the Brown County area to also serve as relay/drop-off sites. “It seems like such a small thing to do, fill a shoe box with gifts, but it’s something anyone and everyone can do to make a difference in the life of a child. For more information on how to pack a shoe box or about how your church or organization can become a part of Operation Christmas child please call the Hiestand’s at (937) 3932790 or visit www.samaritanpurse.org.

County business. And the exciting part about that is 40 percent of those vendors were actually looking for new employees, accepting applications and resumes and were hiring.” Pfeffer said it was a very rewarding experience for everyone and the chamber has already begun discussion on how the event can be made even more popular for next year. Tim McKeown, chairman of the Brown County Chamber of Commerce said that more than 600 people visited or took part in the event held on August 2. “So far we have heard nothing but positive feedback about the expo,” McKeown said. “I’ve even had calls at home thanking the chamber for helping them find a job.” McKeown added that the chamber never thought the first year for the expo would have been so big. “Who would have thought we would outgrow the facility at Southern Hills Career and Technical Center in our first year,” he said. “Other businesses have already asked about participating next
year. “We were filled to capacity at Southern Hills, but that’s a real good problem to have.” McKeown added that he was told by one of the local realtors, who had a booth at

For high school soccer officials, it’s a labor of love BY Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press Bob Krauss is the epitome of a busy young man. The 23-year-old Winchester resident and teacher is working through his masters program while he prepares his classroom and curriculum for the rapidly approaching school year at Whiteoak Jr./Sr. High School. Despite all that, however, Krauss has spent a fairly significant portion of his remaining free time the past month learning the ins and outs of becoming an Ohio high school soccer official. Between the two and a half hour classroom sessions he has twice a week at the Trinity Christian Church in Williamsburg and multiple scrimmages between local boys and girl high school soccer teams, Krauss will have spent at least 25 hours learning everything he needs to know to be a successful soccer official by the time his training ends on Aug. 16, just as the fall sports season begins for local soccer teams. And while some shy away from becoming officials for a multitude of reasons, Krauss and his five fellow recruits to the Southern Ohio Soccer Officials Association (SOSOA) do it for one main reason -a passion for the game and officiating. “I just missed the game so much, you know,” Krauss said before a recent classroom session. “I was like, ‘Well, let's do officiating.’ I've done it before. I love it. It's not about the money for me. It's about enjoying it, you know?” Being an official for a sporting event -- soccer or otherwise -- is not exactly the most fun-filled occupation or hobby. With officials and umpires in professional leagues generating news so often when they miss calls that spectators get to see over and over on slow motion replays, it seems that their counterparts on the youth and high school levels are held to the same esteem despite working in very different conditions. A big reason for that, according to longtime local

New official recruit Bob Krauss gets himself in position during a girls soccer scrimmage at Western Brown on July 28.
Ohio high school official Bob Young, is that people have become more knowledgeable about the game. “The biggest thing I've seen, in really any sport, is the fans are more knowledgeable,” said Young, an instructor for the SOSOA classes, of the biggest change he’s seen in officiating. “They watch more sports now because of TV.” He went on to say that with fans being more knowledgeable, their differences in opinion with officials has gotten a little louder, to put it mildly. Even though Krauss knew what he was getting himself in to, there was some reservation on his part in deciding to become an official for just that reason but it wasn’t enough to stop him from signing up. “I did have some reservations but at the same time I'm confident enough knowing that I can block out what they say and I enjoy it too much to let people discourage me from doing it,” Krauss said. So after talking to a local referee at his church, Krauss signed up for the soccer officiating classes with SOSOA. Starting on July 10 and continuing on through next Thursday, Aug. 16, the six men who signed up for the class have shown up for classes twice a week taught by officials from the SOSOA. Including the six new members, the SOSOA, which is entering its fourth year of existence, has 48
members that serve the Southern Buckeye Conference, the South Central Ohio League and the Southern Hills League. Leading the classes is Young, who was an baseball, basketball, football, soccer, softball, track and swimming official for 47 years. He was thought of highly enough to have officiated over 40 state tournament games throughout his time as an official. One of the first soccer officials in the city of Cincinnati, Young has been involved with officiating the sport since it first began sprouting up in the area after he took a class at Berea College in Kentucky on a whim. Though he knew nothing of the sport when he went to the class, he has went on to officiate college soccer in seven states and become a vital member of the local soccer officials associations in Cincinnati. But after spending 40 years as secretary of an officials association in the city, Young decided to start up SOSOA when he felt there needed to be a presence in this area. And though he is unable to officiate games anymore because of illness, Young stays active by continuing to teach and evaluate officials. Considering he instructs the SOSOA classes and evaluates officials in nine counties for free as a volunteer, it isn’t much of a stretch to say that Young truly enjoys what he does.
“Meeting referees and most of them are pretty nice,” Young said of his favorite part of officiating. “You don't have a lot of problems with them. Just meeting and training them. I've trained referees in all the sports. I think that's the big thing. You make some money out of it but like last year, last year and this year and as long as I can, I go out and evaluate officials.” Using his wealth of experience and knowledge, Young is a big part of each of the classroom sessions. A typical classroom session starts at 6:00 p.m. with a review of what the group had talked about in previous sessions. Then, over the course of the next two and a half hours, Young and the other visiting instructors -- veteran officials in SOSOA -go over different rules and parts of the game that officials need to know. The new guys are encouraged to ask questions about any rules or possible situations so they are prepared for anything that might arise. “It's like a laid back college class,” said Dennis Sandker, one of the new recruits, of the classes. “Everybody can put in their input. You don't speak over people but, you know, you listen. Everybody learns from each other. It's nice. It's a good way to learn, I'll say that much.” In addition to the classes, the new officials have, or will in the immediate future, work several preseason scrimmages for local high school teams. During their first scrimmages on July 28 at Western Brown High School, each of the four new officials who were able to attend worked a game with a veteran official shadowing them before getting a chance to go at it alone. Though most of the six new officials taking the class have officiating experience in youth soccer, calling a high school game for the first time made for an anxious experience. But, at the same time, they realized that this was still a period of learning for them. “I will admit my first whistle blast was weak be CONTINUED ON PAGE 14

Near record crowd takes part in Eighth Annual Bronco 5K BY Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press The second biggest turnout in the history of the Bronco 5K came out last Saturday morning to take part in the Eighth Annual race that benefits the Western Brown cross country program. A group of 111 runners and walkers participated in the 5K (3.1 miles) race that started and ended in front of Western Brown High School. The 111 participants was second only to the 2010 race that featured 115 participants. As for the race, the top overall finisher was Western Brown graduate Darryll Patrick. He completed the
course in 17:01. Another Western Brown grad, Bri Tudor, was the top female finisher. She crossed the finish line in a time of 20:00. The top male and female walker honors went to Steve Morehouse (29:42) and Nancy Zadek (36:49), respectively. The top three male and female runners and walkers were each presented with a plaque for their finishes. The top three male runners, in order, were: Patrick, Nick McAfee and Jordan Kattine. The trio were the top three overall finishers as well. The top three female runners, in order, were: Tudor, Kylie Watson and CONTINUED ON PAGE 14

(The veteran officials are) right behind me. This is the time to learn. This is the time to make mistakes.” The new recruits were not only able to learn during their scrimmage but afterwards as well. During the next class session on July 30, a good chunk of time was spent going over what happened at the scrimmage. The veteran officials who instructed that night’s class were able to use the new recruits first experience as a learning tool to explain how certain events should be called. For instance, a call that Sandker made during the scrimmage was discussed for some time early in the evening.

Dennis Sandker, a new official recruit, makes a call during a girls soccer scrimmage at Western Brown on July 28.
He felt, from his perspective, that he had made the right call. The veteran officials didn’t dispute that but explained in detail the reasons why the call could be viewed as correct and why it could be viewed as incorrect. That example is just one of the many instances that show how the classes give the new recruits -- most of whom, like Krauss and Sandker, played the game - a chance to understand the game from an officials point of view. “A lot of it for me, because I have soccer background, is more of the technical stuff,” Krauss said of the classes. “How to position myself as a ref. Making sure I don't ball watch, which I'm used to as a player. Trying to make sure that I'm in the best position to make the right call and make sure I do my best.” Needless to say, the classes are not quick and easy. By Aug. 16 the group will have met 10 times in the classroom to go over the intricacies of the game with a fine tooth comb. And the new officials need to be able to soak in all the knowledge from the classes and scrimmages because they have to pass a 200 question online test at the end of the 25 hours to become certified. Considering all that, it isn’t much of a stretch to say this is a labor of love. It isn’t a hobby you’re going to get rich off of. Though they are paid for
each game they officiate, officials don’t make a lot of money doing this. Depending on the conferences, a soccer official can expect to bring hom e anywhere from $40 to $55 per game. While that is a pretty good chunk of change for a couple hours of work, there is more to the story. Just to become a certified high school soccer official in Ohio, an interested individual would spend $240 before they ever officiated an actual game. It costs $100 for the classes, $65 of which goes to their state dues, and another $140 for the basic gear kit an official needs. Additionally, every year the officials have to pay the $65 state dues plus a $25 association fee to SOSOA. And to top it all off, new officials like Krauss and Sandker (a 2011 BethelTate graduate), will likely get just three or four scheduled games their first year. Most of those will likely be junior varsity matches. So it really isn’t a reach to say that for the men and women who take time out of their daily lives to call fouls or balls and strikes or penalties, officiating isn’t just a hobby to make a little extra money. It’s a passion. “The supplemental income is nice but I'm just... I love the game,” Krauss said. “I want other people to love the game. I know how other people love the game. That's my passion to keep the game pure and do the best I can.”

Despite mother nature’s efforts, Lady Bronco Soccer Camp wraps up
The Western Brown girls soccer team’s Lady Bronco Soccer Camp didn’t get much cooperation from mother nature during its scheduled July 24-26 camp. After getting the first day of camp in as scheduled, storms washed away the following two days as well as a makeup date on July 27. Though some of the 87 campers who signed up for the camp weren’t able to make it back, the camp was able to make up one day of camp last Thursday evening, Aug. 2, at Kibler Stadium. The amount of campers signed up for the camp surprised Western Brown girls soccer coach Dan Silvis. He had expected about 40 but double that many signed up for the camp. But with the weather causing havoc, and local youth teams beginning practice, a fairly big portion of the campers who had signed up weren’t able to make it back to the makeup date.

Last Friday night at Moler Raceway Park, the Mt. Orab Ford Late Models the night started out looking like Greg Johnson was going to roll to yet another win. However, just past the halfway mark of the race, Johnson’s engine started smoking heavily as he slowed to a stop while trying to get off the racetrack. On the ensuing restart, Chad Stapleton burst out front. With numerous challenges from Sardinia’s Barry Doss and a brush against the wall with two laps to go making things interesting, Stapleton would cruise to his fifth feature win on the season at MRP. Doss would hold on to second spot with Chad Smith, John ‘Weasel’ Rhoades and Roger Ruark rounding out the top five spots. At the green of the 20-lap feature Holman Motors UMP Modified Division race, it was Dustin Webber, of Goshen, out front. However, the race would get off to a sluggish start for numerous incidents in the first few laps. Once the field finally got going, it looked as if Webber would finally put his Coyote Racecar in victory lane but engine problems would take him out of the top spot on lap five. On the restart, Rhodes, of Winchester, jumped out front and, despite numerous challenges from Keith Smith, he was able to hold the field off and claim his first victory of the season. Doug Adkins was able to get past Smith for the second position but it was a little too late as Rhodes had put some distance on the rest of the pack. Adkins would come home second with Smith, Jimmy Lennex, Jr. and Jeremie Bretz rounding out the top five positions. The Holman Motors Chevettes were also on the card last Friday night, with Rusty Yarger and Miles Tarvin on the front row. Yarger was able to get the jump, and lead, at the start and despite a scary incident on lap nine in which Mike Clark would hit the wall and roll over in turn two, Yarger would be able to hold off Tarvin to claim his seventh feature win of the season. Tarvin would finish second with Josh Francis, Boog Verdon and Michael Bowling rounding out the top five spots. Finally, in the final tuneup event before the ‘King of the Compacts’ race on Aug. 24,
there were a couple of newcomers on hand to try out MRP before the big DRC promoted event on the 24th. The feature event saw Michael Skeens out front for the first couple of laps before Rex Smith, Jr. would take over the top spot on lap three. A great battle between Smith and Lucas Jackson ensued with Jackson finally taking the lead on lap six. By lap eight Willie Butler was in close pursuit of Jackson but could not make the pass and the youngster Jackson would claim his second victory in the Crazy Compact Division this season. Butler would come home second with Skeens, Rodney Foltz and Trevor Landrum rounding out the top spots.

A little over a week into two-a-day practices, the Western Brown football team finally got to hit somebody in a different colored jersey. On Tuesday morning the Broncos hosted Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy (CHCA) for a preseason scrimmage at Kibler Stadium. With it still being fairly early in the preseason, both teams made several nice plays throughout the nearly two hour scrimmage. It was a good litmus test for a team with several young and inexperienced players. “It was a great scrimmage for us,” Western Brown coach Evan Dreyer said. “I thought we really played well.” Among the groups that Dreyer singled out as having the best day was the offensive and defensive lines. With a lot of youth and inexperience on both lines, he was happy to see that they played pretty well for the most part. Defense, however, was the name of the game for much of the morning. Each team’s starting varsity group had three sets of 10 plays on offense and defense to work on things before the junior varsity players got their chance for two series. The scrimmage ended with the varsity groups coming back out for two possessions of game play where teams had the usual four downs to get a 10 yards. Touchdowns were few and far between on Tuesday morning but each team did find pay dirt a couple of times. The best of the Broncos offense came through on their first drive of the game play. Led by quarterback Devyn Wood -- who Dreyer said improved from the intrasquad scrimmage - the Broncos marched down the field on an 11 play, 70 yard drive that finished on a 20-yard touchdown pass from Wood to

Creature Feature 10 tips to lower your vet bills 1. Spay or Neuter your pet. By all means spaying and neutering decreases cost of pet ownership. Neutered pets are less likely to get hurt, injured in fights, as well as more likely to stay in a family longer. Spayed and neutered pets get fewer medical problems such as uterine or prostatic infections, cancer or other reproductive problems associated with having all their parts. Puppies and kittens are hard to prevent in intact dogs and cats. No question litters cost money. Raising a litter or puppies or kittens requires time, dedication, worming meds, vaccinations, and flea prevention, and that’s even if nobody gets sick. Please spay or neuter, your pet will be healthy and your cost of pet ownership will be less. 2. Get off the street! By keeping your dog out of the street, you are decreasing the chances of serious injury from a motor vehicle. This also reduces your dog’s risk of serious infection from getting into filthy garbage or dirty pond water. 3. Keep your cats inside. We aren’t recommending that you restrict your cat to only indoor activities; however, a lot of serious injuries (eg: bite wounds, dog trauma, heartworm disease, parasites, etc.) could be avoided by keeping your cat indoors. 4. Use a leash. Again, we aren’t recommending that your dog never run or play freely, we do suggest, however, that you ponder injuries (Like those resulting from a dog fight) that could be prevented by keeping your pooch on a leash.
DAN MEAKIN CREATURE FEATURE
Also, don’t let your dog ride freely in the back of a pickup truck. Dogs can sustain various injuries from jumping from the back of moving (and stationary) trucks. Broken legs and torn ligaments could lead to orthopedic surgeries costing thousands of dollars. 5. Train your dog!! Better trained dogs cost owners less time cleaning up or fixing problems with and less stress related issues such as behavioral problems. Better trained pets are more controlled and less likely to get into hazardous situations or, out of an enclosure. Better trained dogs don’t require psycho drugs to calm them down, or frequent veterinary visits to discuss these issues. 6. Put a lid on it! By keeping pets out of the trash, you can avoid the inevitable vomiting, diarrhea, or worse that will follow. Also, be wary of leaving medication out around the house or antifreeze in the driveway. Medications measured for a 200 pound human will severely injure, or even kill, your pet. And even the tiniest amount of antifreeze can cause fatal kidney failure. 7. Stay up to date on vaccines! At All Creatures, we select the best vaccines and best prices to protect your pet. Vaccinating your pet for a small fee can prevent years of treatments for such diseases as Parvo, rabies, leptospirosis, and feline aids. Preventing a disease
is much cheaper than treating a disease. 8. Use heartworm prevention in dogs and cats. Preventing heartworm disease and other parasites in your dogs and cats will eliminate chance of a big vet bill for these parasites. Heartworms are a devastating disease that can easily be avoided by monthly preventative medications. Intestinal parasites can easily infect pets not on preventative medications. 9. Prevent Fleas early in spring! Again, prevention is much cheaper than treatment. Flea prevention early in year in all your pets will eliminate the emergence of fleas later in the year. Flea prevention also saves your pet from the unnecessary stress due to itching and many medical problems such as dermatitis. All Creatures recommends Revolution, Advantage, or Frontline for flea prevention. 10. Buy pet insurance. Pet insurance helps you budget for both preventative and unexpected veterinary care. By getting a plan together you can afford the costs, for pet ownership can be spread out over a monthly fee you can expect and afford. Most carriers of pet insurance offer plans that cover preventative care such as vaccines, dental work, heartworm preventatives, and flea prevention. Ask your veterinarian who he recommends. Bonus Tip Saving Money on Heartworm and Flea prevention – Big dogs don’t have to cost more! If you have a monstrous dog or your family has multiple big dogs, you can understand how expensive flea and heartworm preventative can be for these big pets for an annual basis. This summer, consider trying prescription heartworm and flea preventive from All Creatures.

website. Troopers also are expected to live by core moral values, Hughes said. The core values of the Highway Patrol are: • Honesty – The single most reliable mark of a trooper's value is to be able to admit when he/she is wrong and go forward. • Sense of Urgency – Troopers realize the importance of prompt response to crashes and calls for service. • Attention to Detail – If it is worth doing, it's worth doing thoroughly. Attention to detail is the mark of a good public servant. • Team Oriented – Members of the Patrol and members of the law enforcement community in general are a team, of which the individual components are not as valuable as the whole. • Professionalism – Being professional means being punctual, courteous, prepared, and wellgroomed. It also means having and showing respect for every person a trooper encounters. • Adaptability – Troopers must maintain flexibility with a high degree of performance. A trooper's job is never the same from one day to the next – a trooper must be able to make changes and still perform the job to the highest degree. • Self-Discipline – or stated another way, Accountability. Every trooper must recognize what job needs to be done, and then do that job well. Law enforcement officers have a responsibility to those they serve to be accountable for their actions. • Performance Driven – Being performance driven means working hard. Troopers are driven to perform because success is measured in both quantity and quality. We are constantly reminded of our department mission...to save lives, reduce injuries and economic losses on the streets and highways of Ohio. • Officer Safety – It is imperative this core value be instilled in our troopers. They must maintain a high level of awareness in every situation. "This isn't just a job, it's a career," Hughes said. "The pay is good, there are excellent benefits, and the State Patrol is like a family." Hughes pointed out that the OSHP employs more than highway patrol troopers. The Patrol trains and maintains a number of officers in specialized law enforcement positions. Among these are: plainclothes investigators, traffic and drug interdiction teams and canine officers, commercial enforcement coordinators, inspectors, and crash reconstructionists. The Patrol also maintains a special response team, comprised of troopers who are specially trained in weapons and chemical agent use, extraction techniques, and rapid response methods.

Recent heat seems to have slowed crop diseases Tobacco Disease and Insect Update The drought like conditions that we have dealt with, for most of the growing season, has kept the disease pressure pretty low for most crops, including tobacco. There has been an increase in the disease possibility with the recent rains that most of the Tri-County area has had during the last two weeks of July and the beginning of August. There has been no report of blue mold in any fields in the United States to my knowledge. At this point, most of the crop is beyond the stage of growth where blue mold would be a concern. Black Shank did show up in some patches during the peak of the heat and dry period. Measures should be taken to reduce this soil borne problem from getting to other parts of the farm with this crop including equipment and stalks. Using a 10% bleach solution to clean equipment is recommended. At this point the biggest disease concern is most likely to be damage from target spot. Target spot is often confused with blue mold, however this disease seems to be found much more often and can result in significant yield loss. Target spot often shows up in the lower leaves once the crop gets some size and reduces air flow. The name target spot should help identify this disease. The round like spots that turn brown do resemble a target, you should be able to see rings. With the reduced airflow, and now plenty of moisture in some areas, this could become an issue. The fungicide Quadris does a good job on preventing this problem. The best time to use Quadris is at layby, but a later application may be necessary. In most plots that I have seen in Kentucky and that we have done here locally, 8 fl. Oz, /A at lay-by has been all that is needed. If you have not applied Quadris, and the tobacco is at or even beyond topping stage, drop nozzles would provide much better coverage. If Quadris was used at lay-by, and another application is needed, remember you are required by the label to use another product before using Quadris again. Some things to keep in mind, Quadris should be used in the morning or late evening. Applications made during the heat of the day will increase the risk of burn to the crop. Also, tank mixes are not recommended. Never mix Quadris with foliar fertilizers, sucker control materials, surfactants, liquid
DAVID DUGAN Dipel, or pesticides formulated as emulsifiable concentrates. These mixes will cause crop damage. Other products like Orthene and Warrior have been used, but there have been instances where crop damage has occurred with these mixes, too. Follow the label and use caution. As far as insects, I have talked to producers who have used systemic products for both aphid and worm control that have reported very good control. Some producers have reported minimal damage to severe damage that has warranted rescue spraying where systemic products were not used at the time the crop was set in the field with a barrel application. Watch for information about a Tobacco Field Day in the next couple of weeks. A date has not been set at this time. Chance to Scrap Old Tires Adams/Brown Recycling is offering Scrap Tire Amnesty days in Ripley on August 11, in Georgetown on August 18 and in Fayetteville on August 25.

Options for Drought Stressed Corn The entire area has crops that have been stressed by the extreme heat or lack of rain fall at critical times this year. In some cases crops were hit with both at that critical time and the results are not good. Most producers that I have talked to recently are all over the place with expected yields as a result of yield checks. Planting time and spotty showers have resulted in producers have yields in corn that will not reach 50 bushel to the acre on one farm and just a couple miles away the same producer may be looking at 150 bushel plus. Soybeans seem to have come through this much better than the corn. There will be some loss in soybeans, but not as much as some of the corn. I have talked to farmers from all three counties that say their soybeans are looking better and better. They are continuing to grow, and some have set a good number of pods and are still flowering. This is not the case everywhere, depends on the amount of rainfall for the most part.
For those with corn that may not able to reach 50 bushel per acre, this may help give you some insight when it comes to your options. The question came to someone in extension and the answer was pretty complete, so I thought it was worth sharing. This appeared in the Beef Blog last week. You can get this information, and more like it on the OSU Beef Team page at http://beef.osu.edu or send me an e-mail and I will add you to the mailing lists that I send information to on a regular basis. My e-mail is dugan.46@osu.edu The first issue for most corn producers may be protecting farm program and crop insurance benefits. It is our understanding that regular farm program payments will be received regardless of how the corn is used. But silage has been eligible for LDP in the past, while grazing has not been eligible. Of course, not much LDP is available for a 0 bushel grain crop! Federal disaster eligibility still is a totally different question that you need to check into before you do anything. Corn can be harvested as hay (much like cane hay, with a thick, slow-drying stalk), as silage, or grazed. It has the potential to solve some of the forage/feed shortage caused by drought, although getting corn forage to the animals or bringing animals to the forage remains a logistics challenge. Challenges for hay include: • Mechanics of harvest (especially cutting): Bale integrity often is less desirable than for other forages (especially in round bales). • Nitrates: Testing is a must, and cutting at taller stubble heights will help. • Feed value/feeding: Grinding may be needed to limit refusal and waste of stems. Silage is an excellent choice for reducing nitrate problems; an average of one-third to one-half of nitrates are neutralized during fermentation. Standing corn will remain too wet for a long time due to stalk retention of moisture. Waiting until crop dries to desired 65% moisture, windrowing and field wilting to reduce moisture, or mixing wet chop with dry feeds like corn grain or chopped hay can overcome the moisture problem. Silage does not transport well, so it makes for a poor cash crop unless livestock are near. If you consider grazing as an option for using your drought corn field, make sure you fill the cattle up on hay before you turn them out. Most deaths to cattle because of nitrates are of cattle that are hungry and are al-
lowed access to a feed that has nitrates. Grazing will have some nitrate concerns, depending on how completely animals are forced to eat the lower stalks. Bigger challenges are fencing and water because most fields do not have these resources. But many are winter grazed using temporary fencing and hauled water, so this problem can be overcome. Grazing management, such as strip grazing, will be needed if efficient use is desired; otherwise cattle will trample and waste a huge portion of the crop. Again, do not force cattle to graze the lower 8 inches of the stalk where most of the nitrates will accumulate. If animals are given the opportunity to selective graze, they will select the leaves first, followed by the upper portion of the
stalk, and these parts of the plant typically do not pose nitrate concerns. Nutritionally, drought-damaged corn easily should be close to adequate for beef cows, dry or with suckling calves, and replacement heifers. Salt should be supplemented, and a mineral containing some phosphorus is likely needed through the breeding season.

Fair books are out as 2012 fair gets closer Well its official the 161st Brown County Fair is September 24 - 29. This means that the fair books are out for this year. The first fair book to say, “The Little State Fair “was printed in 1939. We have an obligation to keep this slogan correct. During my 3 years on the Fair Board, I have got to see all the parts that have to come together to give you the entertainment value of our fair. The thing that I am so impressed with is the local involvement of businesses, volunteers, and the pride of Junior Fair members representing “The Little State Fair”. www.littlestatefair.co m is another way you can get the newest information about the fair. I like the facts about the Brown County Fair that runs at the bottom of any information you look for when on the website. Between the Fair Book and the website you have a wealth of information to keep you updated about the last week of September in Brown County. I’m looking forward to see our local newspapers coverage of the Ohio State Fair. Many Junior Fair members have shown and been judged for their projects at State Fair level. The pride and ability they show presents Brown County as a county for the future leaders in the State of Ohio. Many times I have mentioned the strength of Brown County 4-H and F.F.A. in public speaking and being able to present their views to the public. I wish to apologize for

Some twenty five elementary pupils enrolled in the camp this year and took tours of historical sites, engaged in creative instructional exercises and participated in a book discussion session around themes connected with the sesquicentennial of the American Civil War. Peggy Mills Warner and Patricia Myers, veteran camp directors, developed a week full of a variety of activities and said they were extremely pleased with the interest and overall conduct of the campers, which prompted their concern about involving more boys and girls in next year’s camp. But they noted expanding the summer project to accommodate the middle grades will depend on available resources, which could come from the 2012 Appeal chaired by Brian Grant. He made special mention of the educational value of summer learning opportunities in his letter to friends in Brown County, and urged everyone to pitch in with a donation, large or small, to help the Parker house continue and enlarge its educational programs. Gifts payable to the John P. Parker Historical Society, Post Office Box 246, Ripley, Ohio, 45167 are tax deductible. out and join in previews of the football program, boys and girls soccer, volleyball, cheerleading. boys and girls cross country, golf and girls tennis teams as well as review the OHSSA rules and WB athletic policies.

BY Faye Mahaffey Master Gardner Volunteer One of my favorite routes to walk in my neighborhood is along Todds Fork Creek. This three mile stroll allows me to look at crops, birds, insects, weeds, flowers and an occasional frog, turtle, or snake. I even have a chance to visit with several horses that race to the fence when I walk by. I have also tried to find out the names of all the dogs along my walk so that I can encourage them to stay in their own yard and not try to accompany me on my walk. There are several items that I carry with me when I walk around the blockwater, bug spray, sunglasses and my cell phone. I never listen to music when I walk. The sounds of nature are enough music for me! This past week I stopped along the way and took photographs of
weeds, flowers and a few “mystery” plants. My Identification list so far includes: Pokeweed, Elderberries, Jewel Weed, Stinging Nettles, Goldenrod, Johnson grass, Ironweed, Wingstem, Common Mullein and Queen Anne’s lace. One of my favorite reference books, Wildflowers of Ohio, authored by Stan Tekiela, shares the following facts about Queen Anne’s Lace (Daucus carota): Family: Carrot (Apiaceae), Height: 1-3 feet, Flower: flat cluster, 3-5 inches wide, of tiny white flowers, each ¼ inch wide; a single purple-to-black floret sits near the cluster’s center, with 3 thin, forked green bracts beneath the cluster, Leaf: fern-like, with many divisions, up to 8 inches long, Bloom: summer, fall, Cycle/Origin: biennial (which means it lives for 2 years – spending the first year growing bigger, and then blooming the second year), non-native, Habitat: dry, sun, fields,
along roads disturbed soils, Range: throughout. Also called Wild Carrot, Queen Anne’s Lace is tall with tiny hairs covering its stems. Once a European garden plant, it has escaped to the wild and is considered a weed because of its aggressive growth. Flower clusters dry and curl, forming the bird’s nest shape often used in dried flower arrangements. Its long taproot can be dug, roasted and ground as coffee substitute. During its’ first year, the roots are soft enough to eat. It is thought to be the ancestor of the common garden carrot. Do not attempt to eat Queen Anne’s Lace unless you have a positive identification from an expert !!!!! Queen Anne’s Lace is sometimes confused with deadly Poison Hemlock. Some animals have benefited from the arrival of this wildflower. Caterpillars of the Eastern Black Swallowtail butterfly eat the leaves, bees
Black plague is still around and has a long history HEALTH MATTERS TOM CALLAHAN, RPH ach. Since the plague bacteria has blocked the opening to the stomach, when the flea bites a rat, it ends up regurgitating plague-infected blood back into the rat. The flea is unable to successfully feed since its stomach is blocked and continues to bite trying to feed itself. Eventually the flea dies of starvation. Any other fleas living on the rat become infected and once the rat dies, these fleas go off looking for another host and the disease spreads. In people there are three types of plague: septicemic, bubonic, and pneumonic. These names describe where the infection has occurred. Septicemic means the plague has entere d the blood stream. If not treated, people with this form of plague often die the same day symptoms appear. Most cases of plague are of the bubonic form. The plague bacteria start in the lymph nodes, as the bacteria multiply the lymph nodes swell until they look like bubbles under the skin, which are called buboes. If untreated, this form has a mortality rate of 50 to 90 percent. Bubonic plague can progress to either septicemic as the bacteria leave the lymph system and enter the blood stream, or pneumonic if they enter the lungs.
Pneumonic plague is where the plague bacteria have entered the lungs. This form is not only highly contagious, as the infected person coughs out millions of tiny plague infected droplets, but it is also nearly always fatal. Until June 2007, all plague cases were reported to the World Health Organization (WHO). In 2003, nine countries reported a total of 2118 plague cases with 182 deaths, according to WHO reports. In the United States, on average, there are 10-15 cases of plague reported each year — most cases occurring in the southwestern states. Most cases in the US are not from fleas on rats, but from fleas on other animals. The most common animals to case plague in humans include squi rrels, rabbits, and prairie dogs. The last major outbreak of plague was in 1994 in Surat, India. It followed extensive flooding from monsoon rains. Although over 300,000 people fled the area, public health officials contained the outbreak and only 52 people died. Luckily, even though plague is still around, public health officials around the world are vigilant in trying to prevent another pandemic. Tom Cal lahan is a pharmacist, he lives in the Milford area.

Eastern High Class of 2012 shows Warrior Pride The Eastern High Class of 2012 used their class funds to make a welcoming statement at EHS. The senior class purchased an engraved boulder for the back entrance of the high school. Students who drive or ride with someone each day and community members attending sporting events will now be welcomed by a boulder that reads, “Welcome to Eastern High School, Warrior Pride, Class of 2012”. The senior class has shown great Warrior PRIDE with this gift that will be on display for many years to come. Pictured are: Janie Day, Senior Class Advisor, Kayla Ratliff – Vice President, Emily Meese – Secretary, and Haylee Neu – President. We would like to thank Jacob and Brian Garrett for donating their time and talent to install the new addition to our landscape. The Eastern class of 2012 is proud of their accomplishments while attending the Eastern District and they encourage all students to always show their WARRIOR PRIDE.

The third installment of old diseases is about plague. This plague is not related to the ten plagues Moses brought down on Egypt — none of those were caused by Yersinia Pestis. Yersinia Pestis is the bacteria that causes plague: as in the same plague that is referred to the Black Death of the middle ages. The Black Death was a pandemic that swept across Asia, Europe and parts of Africa in the middle of the 14th century. A pandemic is an epidemic that spreads across the world (or covers a large portion of the world’s population). In this case, the Black Death started in China and spread with trade caravans along the Silk Road across China and into Northern Africa and throughout Europe. The death toll from this pandemic was almost unimaginable. Europe’s population was reduced by about one-third and China lost nearly half of its population. There were so many people dying that bodies had to be buried in mass graves. Plague is a zoonotic disease, which means it is a disease common in animals, however can also affect humans. Other examples of zoonotic diseases are rabies and lyme disease. These diseases depend on the animal hosts to exist. In the case of plague, the disease affects both the flea and the rodent host. The story of plague starts with an infected flea. The bacteria multiply inside the flea until they form a plug that blocks the stom-
and other insects drink the nectar, and predatory insects, such as the Green Lacewing, come to Queen Anne’s Lace to attack prey, such as aphids. Queen Anne’s Lace has been identified as a noxious weed in Ohio. OSU Extension Bulletin 86698 (available on ohioline.osu.edu) explains that control is difficult because of the large taproot (difficult to pull) and prolific seed production. Weed Control Guide for Ohio Field Crops (Bulletin 789) suggests possible methods of control for this problem weed. Queen Anne’s Lace is a great example of a wildflower that has turned into a “bully” in nature and is aggressively squeezing out our native plants. Are you taking time to walk around your landscape and check for pests and disease? My cucumber and zucchini vines bit the dust this week. The tomatoes are coming on and the platter on the kitchen counter is a virtual rainbow of colorful fruit. Green Zebra, Yellow pear, Roma, Zomok, Wapsipinicon Peach and Black Krim have all taken the lead to produce the first tomatoes. Tomatoes and cottage cheese is featured for lunch each day at our

DR. MICHELLE HECK gether, in the middle. This fissure line is often imperfect, and sugar and bacteria slowly leak in causing decay to start. Once a tiny opening in enamel is made, the substances keep leaking in and cause acidic by-products which eat away at the softer, inner layer of the tooth called dentin. So even though there might be an opening not even visible to the eye, the decay can be growing underneath. By the time pit and fissure decay shows up on an x-ray, it is very large and more difficult to restore. Sealants help prevent pit and fissure decay. Sealants are recommended for a child’s permanent molars, which erupt at about year 6 and year 12. A sealant is a clear or white plastic layer that seals closed the natural fissure line on the biting surface. These sealants can last for years and may help eliminate this type of decay. In today’s world, most decay is preventable. With fluoride, sealants, good home care, and regular checkups, there is a good chance your kids can be decay free. With proper care, almost anyone can keep his or her own teeth to the golden years and beyond.

Farmers across the country work hard to build their businesses that help fuel their rural communities. For the third consecutive year, America’s Farmers Grow Communities SM, sponsored by the Monsanto Fund, will give farmers the opportunity to win a $2,500 donation for their favorite local nonprofit organization. This year, the program expands to 26 new counties and will provide an online platform to aid community involvement. Christy Smart, Grow Communities winner from Delaware County, Ohio, understands firsthand how $2,500 can impact a nonprofit organization. “As an American farmer, I am grateful to have the opportunity to bring awareness and connectivity between the Monsanto Fund and the Friends of Delaware County CASA,” Smart said. “This wonderful organization ensures that a child’s best interests are heard in our juvenile courts.” With more than 90 percent of the U.S. corn and soy production currently impacted by the drought, a farmer’s ability to invest in his or her community is affected. To help, the Monsanto Fund will provide additional financial support. Winning farmers from counties that have been declared natural disaster areas by the USDA will have an opportunity to direct an additional $2,500 donation to a local non-profit to address community needs that have sur-

faced due to the drought. To date, nearly 700 counties have been declared disasters areas within the 1,271 eligible Grow Communities counties. “We are committed to supporting farmers and the rural communities in which they live and work,” said Deborah Patterson, Monsanto Fund president. “Through Grow Communities and the additional disaster relief funding, we hope to positively impact the people and places that are affected by this devastating drought.” Communities Can Plant Their Ideas with Farmers Since the inception of America’s Farmers Grow Communities, thousands of farmers have nominated their favorite local nonprofit groups, such as FFA chapters, schools, fire departments, local food pantries or other civic groups. This year, rural community members can suggest an idea or initiative that needs funding in their local community. Eligible farmers may review the ideas and consider them in their application. Community members who wish to plant an idea and encourage farmers to support their cause can do so at www.growcommunities.co m. Now through November 30, 2012, eligible farmers can apply online, and rural community members can submit their ideas at www.growcommunities.co m or by calling 1-877-2673332. The Monsanto Fund will select one winner at random from each of the eligible counties and announce winning farmers and recipient nonprofits in January 2013. Eligible counties in Ohio include: Adams, Allen, Ashland, Ashtabula, Auglaize, Brown, Butler, Champaign,
highlight the important contributions farmers make everyday to our society and to help them positively impact their communities. This program is part of the Monsanto Fund’s overall effort to support rural America. Another program that is part of this effort is America’s Farmers Grow Rural Education, giving farmers the opportunity to nominate their local public school district to apply for a grant up to $25,000. Winners of the first annual Grow Rural Education program will be announced on August 28. For more information about these programs and to view the official rules, visit www.americasfarmers.com.

Tooth decay is becoming less and less prevalent in American children today. With fluoridated water, fluoride toothpaste, and sealants, today’s kids have an excellent chance of being cavity-free. Before fluoride, decay between the teeth was extensive. Fluoride re-mineralizes areas of small decay. Now that most water systems are fluoridated, we are seeing less and less cavities between teeth. However, fluoride can’t make up for a poor diet—eating too much sugar, drinking too much pop, or chewing sugared gum. Home care is another critical factor. If a child hardly flosses or is not brushing adequately or often enough, interproximal (between teeth) decay is still a risk. Additionally, some rural water systems are not fluoridated. If your water is not fluoridated, be sure to have your kids use fluoride toothpaste (almost all of them are). And if they are particularly at high risk for decay, meaning they have already had cavities or other family members have had cavities, you might want to use a fluoride rinse such as ACT once or twice a day. The decay in between teeth is decreasing, but still a large number of kids have pit and fissure decay (decay on the biting surfaces of the teeth). This is due to the fact that when a tooth is formed in the beginning stages, the different layers of the tooth coalesce, or come to-

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 their kids off and then loop back out. That created a lot of congestion out on West Main.” Burrows said that Mt. Orab Mayor Bruce Lunsford, Police Chief Bryan Mount and the village council were of tremendous help last year in changing the traffic pattern on West Main by adding
B R O A D S H E E T E V E N
extra lanes to smooth traffic flow. He said these new changes are designed to make the most of those changes. In another change for Western Brown this year, Burrows said that the start and stop times for the middle school and high school were being reversed. He said the idea was to
allow high school students to drop off their younger siblings in the morning without fear of being late for school, and to be able to pick them up without having traffic building up outside waiting for the middle school to dismiss students. High School students who drive to school are also being asked to enter and exit on Bronco Blvd. on the
western edge of the campus to take some of the traffic pressure off Campus Way. Burrows said another benefit of the changes will be that they will cost the district very little money. “We’re going to spend about 23 thousand dollars to pave where the modular buildings were”, Burrows said. “But that’s really all the
money that these changes are going to cost us. The generosity of the Village of Mt. Orab for these changes has been a tremendous help to the district and we’re very grateful to them for that.” As the beginning of school approaches later this month, Burrows has a request for anyone who is driving students to school.
“Please be patient and leave a little early. We won’t know for sure how our new plan will work until we run it live that first day.” Burrows said that if anyone has any questions or comments about the changes or any other matters of concern, he can be reached at (937) 444-2044 or (937) 213-0555.

The Brown County Air Evacuation Helicopter visProvided/THE BROWN COUNTY PRESS ited Grow, Inc. to share information about their services, answer questions, and provide a tour of the helicopter. The developmentally disabled adults and staff at Grow, Inc. were very excited and thrilled to have the Air Evacuation personnel provide such a wonderful learning opportunity. The Helicopter landed in the parking lot of Grow, Inc. at approximately 11 a.m. Individuals and staff were permitted to explore the helicopter and sit in the rear seating area. This was a once in a lifetime opportunity for several of the individuals at Grow, Inc. and everyone enjoyed the experience. One elderly individual broke down in tears of joy at getting to see her first helicopter up close. Individuals and staff alike learned a lot about the helicopter and the services the Air Evacuation unit provides. Everyone at Grow, Inc. would like to thank the Brown County Air Evacuation Unit for this experience and for all they do for our county.

Heather McKeown is shown here with her champion palomino, Jz TwoEyed Patriot, after winning in both the champion aged and amateur aged stallion class at the Palomino World Championship Show held recently in Tulsa, OK.
McKeown wins world title A local 4-H leader has won a world championship. Heather McKeown of Feesburg won two titles at the recently concluded Palomino World Championship Show in Tulsa, Ok. She showed the stallion Jz Two Eyed Patriot to victory in both open and amateur aged stallions. “It’s been a lot of hard work, but it paid off.” McKeown said. “Jack is my parents’ stallion and I couldn’t have done it without their help and support.

The eaglet that has been recovering from a fractured bone in its wing at the Glen Helen Raptor Center in Yellow Springs, Oh., was returned to be released at the Brown County Rural Water nesting site on Monday August 6, 2012. The eaglet was brought to the site in a large pet carrier by Betty Ross and Dexter from Glen Helen. When the door was opened it moved out of the carrier and began flying and landed within 30 feet of where the nest was and climbed up on a broken limb. The eaglet began picking at leaves and vines. It didn't have the leaves and vines in its pen while at the raptor center. The adults were not present in the area as far as we could tell so we were concerned whether the adults would find the eaglet and feed it. On Tuesday August 7 the eaglet had moved near a tree where the adult was sitting so they will feed and care for it. We had three eaglets hatch this season with two surviving and one with injuries so severe that it was euthanized. If everything goes well and this eaglet survives the Brown County Eagles will have had thirteen eaglets that have fledged successfully since they began nesting at BCRW in 2005.
