Swartz pleads guilty Chris Swartz has pleaded guilty to one third degree felony count of Endangering Children as a result of the death of his nine year old son, Sebastian. A similar charge against his wife Shanna were dropped by the Brown
County Prosecutor’s Office as a result of the plea. Swartz will be on Community Control for two years and will not be permitted to own firearms as a result of his guilty plea. Sebastian Swartz was shot in the head last February and died a few days later. The Probable Cause Affi-
davit for the original charges against the couple in Brown County Municipal Court read; “On February 18, 2013, a shooting occurred at 10198 State Route 125, Decatur OH. The shooting occurred as a result of a Glock 34, 9MM pistol being left out and unsecured. The firearm was left out in plain view, fully loaded in the
presence of children. One or more children gained possession of the firearm, which resulted in the shooting and eventual death of 9 year old Sebastian Swartz.” “C.S.”, an older sister of Sebastian, is currently facing charges in Brown County Juvenile Court in connection with the shooting.

Charles Engle (standing) pleads guilty to sex related charges in Brown County Common Pleas Court on August 15. His attorney Steve Haynes is seated. At right is Brown County Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Zac Corbin.
A former Youth Pastor at the First Baptist Church of Mt. Orab had pleaded guilty to two sex-related charges involving a 15 year old church member last Spring. Charles Engle will be sentenced on two counts of Unlawful Sexual Contact With a Minor in September, following a Pre-Sentencing Investigation. Engle made the guilty plea before Common Pleas Court Judge Scott Gusweiler on August 15. During the proceeding, Gusweiler asked Engle “You understand that ultimately the sentence in this case is going to be prison time?” Engle responded “Yes, your honor.”
Engle faces a maximum sentence of ten years in prison and a $20,000 fine. He must also register as a Tier II Sex Offender, which means he must report his address and personal information to the local Sheriff for the next 25 years. Engle was originally charged with three counts of Unlawful Sexual Conduct with a Minor and three counts of Sexual Battery. All are third degree felonies. Engle faced the Sexual Battery charges because he was acting as a cleric and the victim was a member of the congregation at the time of the alleged offenses. Ohio law specifies special charges and penalties for adults who regularly work with children, such as
teachers or religious personnel, who are caught engaging in sexual conduct with those that they are in charge of. The relationship was reported to the Mt. Orab Police Department by the parents after they discovered communication between Engle and the victim. The probable cause affidavit in Brown County Municipal Court filed in May by MOPD Investigator Jason Hahn states “The Associate Pastor of Youth Ministry, Charles Engle, engaged in sexual conduct with a 15 year old student...between November 2012 and April 2013. The incidents occurred in the youth ministry house located on the property of the First Baptist Church.”

SHCTC board members include Dr. Richard Pride, Vernon Creighton, Jim Holden, Dick Colwell, Steve Cox, Barry Sims and Jim Castle.
SHCTC, ESC hold groundbreaking BY Martha B. Jacob The Brown County Press Even though the groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of a new building at Southern Hills Career and Technical Center was only symbolic, the excitement couldn’t have been higher than if it were the real thing.
Nearly everyone who has been involved in the joint venture to build the new structure, since its inception two years ago, attended the August 13 event. A large picture of the proposed building, located on a 17 acre plot of land owned by the school, was the backdrop for the ceremony.
The new building which will be located next to Southern Hills Career and Technical Center will house new offices for the school as well as the Brown County Governing Board of the Educational Service Center (ESC). Construction of the new building was announced by SHCTC Superintendent Kevin Kratzer in De-
cember 2012. The event was opened by SHCTC board president Dr. Richie Pride, III who welcomed everyone for attending the ceremony. “We are thrilled and we are excited with this partnership that we are doing here with the ESC,” Pride began, “And I’ve got to CONTINUED ON PAGE 7

Rep. Brad Wenstrup: Fulfilling my duties I’ve been your Congressman for seven months now, and a busy seven months it has been. I have met thousands of people across Southern Ohio, and I look forward to seeing many more of you soon. The House of Representatives’ August schedule allows additional opportunities to meet with you to discuss such vital issues as creating jobs, providing energy security for families, putting an end to wasteful government spending and providing certainty for farmers. Though I tend to the people’s business in Washington, D.C., I look forward to returning home to Ohio to hear from you. Meeting with you is a priority this August, but I also have an obligation that it is an equal privilege for me to undertake – my annual military duty in the
DR. BRAD WENSTRUP US CONGRESS U.S. Army Reserve. Like thousands of Ohioans, I report for duty monthly, as well as for two full weeks of service each year. Since 1998, I have served at over a dozen military installations in the United States as well as deploying to Iraq for a year. Since serving you in Congress, my duty station has been re-assigned to Walter Reed Hospital. At Walter Reed, I am humbled to care for the men and women returning home from Afghanistan. This month, however, I will be on duty at Madigan Medical Center at Joint
Base Lewis-McChord in Tacoma, Washington. I’m proud to continue to serve as a Lieutenant Colonel in the U.S. Army Reserve, and it will be my honor to fulfill my duty. It’s important for you to know that my offices across Southern Ohio and in Washington, D.C. will be open as usual and I will be in frequent contact with my staff. Also, because of the Congressional schedule, I will not miss any votes or committee hearings. In the interim, my staff will be available to hear your opinions on upcoming legislation or assist as you navigate issues with federal agencies. We will continue to hold “Traveling Help Desks” across Southern Ohio to ensure that the services I’m proud of, and which you’ve come to expect, are brought closer to
your hometown. In addition, I will remain in contact with you during my two weeks’ service through my e-newsletter, Facebook and Twitter. Please know that I take both my military service and my service as your representative very seriously. I believe you’ll find that my commitment to serving you will not change during this time. In the meantime, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me or my staff if you would like to share your concerns or if you need help dealing with Social Security, the VA or the IRS. You can reach my Cincinnati office at 513-4747777, send me a note through my website, www.Wenstrup.House.Gov , or visit one of my offices in person.
Medical phone scam reports on the rise Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine today warned that more than 200 Ohioans have reported unsolicited phone calls offering medical alert devices this year. About 40 percent of those calls were reported last month alone. Consumers who respond to the calls risk losing money or jeopardizing their personal information. “These calls have been circulating throughout the country, and we’re seeing more Ohioans filing complaints,” Attorney General DeWine said. “The most important thing to remem-

Letters to the Editor New IGA owner gets a positive review Dear Editor, Reading that the Georgetown IGA is re-opening is really great news. Though the Mt. Orab Kroger has a very good selection, the convenience of a major grocery store of IGA stature in Georgetown means they can surely count on our business. I noted that the new owner, Eric Rabe, owns the IGA in Vevay, Indiana. Having lived in Switzerland County (Vevay is the County Seat) for 17 years, I contacted a reliable friend for his experience about Mr. Rabe's business practices. I am pleased to share this in-
formation with my fellow Brown Countians. This is what my friend (a retired LAPD officer and owner of a Vevay restaurant) wrote: "I found Eric to be a good guy. He has been a supporter of the Vevay Main Street Program (financial), but is hard to get a hold of; seems busy working on the next deal (your town). He has hired Vevay people and pays decent wages. He did a makeover, but the place is still recognizable and clean. Nice pricing, decent quality. Kip" Chuck Klein Pleasant Township
Patrol reminds drivers to watch for stopped school busses Summer break is almost over for Ohio students –and for many, the upcoming journey to and from school will require trips on a school bus. That is why the Ohio State Highway Patrol is reminding drivers to pay attention and be alert for stopped school busses. “Although drivers of all vehicles are required to stop for a school bus when it is stopped to load or unload passengers, children should not rely on them to do so,” said Colonel Paul Pride, Patrol superintendent. “Children exiting the bus should always stop and look both ways before crossing the street and remain alert to any sudden traffic changes.” Motorists approaching a stopped school bus from either direction should remember they are required to stop a least 10 feet back from buses displaying red flashing lights and an extended stop arm. From 2010 through 2012, 4,176 motorists were cited for failing to stop for a school bus when it was loading or unloading children. The Patrol reminds motorists to plan ahead and allow extra time for these school bus stops. Motorists are urged to exercise patience and never pass a stopped school bus. With everyone’s extra attention we can make this school year a safe one. For a complete statistical breakdown of school bus inspections, crashes and passing stopped school bus
LIEUTENANT RANDY MCELFRESH violations, visit http://www.statepatrol.ohio. gov/doc/School_Bus_Bulletin_2013.pdf *** Patrol joins Ohio Law Enforcement in cracking down This year, Ohio law enforcement agencies will join thousands of other highway safety partners throughout the nation to take part in the Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over crackdown on impaired driving. The enforcement blitz began Friday, August 16 and will last through Labor Day. During the enforcement period, law enforcement partners have planned more than 7,000 enforcement hours and more than 900 hours of saturation patrols around the state. “Law enforcement partners across the state will be out in full force to ensure people are making the right decisions on our roads,” said Ohio Department of Public Safety Director John Born. “Impaired driving is a serious matter, and the message is clear – drive sober or get pulled over.” According to provisional data, 494 people died in 453 OVI-related crashes on Ohio’s roads in 2012. Impaired drivers were involved in 44 percent of all fatal traffic crashes. CONTINUED ON PAGE 5
What Do You Think? Would you be in favor of year-around school?
No I wouldn't be in favor of it because I think kids need a break. Nickie Robinson, Mt. Orab
Actually, yes I would be in favor of it, I think kids retain more information without that long break. Sarah Myers, Mt. Orab
No I don't. I think kids need a vacation just like adults do. Lisa Partin, Mt. Orab
Yes, I do, I think small breaks would be better than one long gap from learning. Teresa Smith, Mt. Orab
Well, yes and no. Yes because they retain more of what they've learned, but being a farmer's wife we need the kids at home during the summer to help bale hay and do other chores. Janice Young, Buford
I think I would like to see kids go to school year around, it would benefit the kids more because they wouldn't lose as much information over the summer. Cassy Hurt, Hamersville

OPINION
Sardinia Village Council met in regular session August 12 to discuss village business, including making improvements to the building where council meets and the police department is housed. “As everyone knows here, we pay a lot of money for fuel oil to heat this old building,” Bumbalough said. “On the recommendation of the finance committee I have called three different heating and air conditioning companies to give us estimates on what it would cost to upgrade this building. Two of them have already been here and I’m waiting on their estimates. So we’re waiting on all three.” Bumbalough added that they are considering knocking down a wall in the upstairs of the building to widen council’s chambers. Currently the recommendation is to move the police department back down stairs and close off the upstairs to try and save money for the village. “The cost to upkeep this building is getting a little out of control,” he added. “I’ve also got a call in to someone about replacing these old windows. We’re going to have to keep this building for quite some time, so we need to do some upgrades.” Bumbalough said that the building was actually
paid off by the village over two years ago, but continued to put aside the payments that weren’t going to the mortgage. He said that way it could build up the revenue needed for the upgrades. Bumbalough added that there are several grants that he is looking at which could also help in paying for the renovations. Councilwoman Juanita Watson added that the wiring in the building should also be inspected and probably replaced. In the absence of Sardinia Fire Chief Chris Schumacher, Mayor Bumbalough presented a report from the chief. “As I’m sure everyone here already knows,” Bumbalough began, “There was a fire at the end of College Avenue a couple weeks ago. The chief did tie into the fire hydrant and he estimates using about 15,000 gallons of water, so we will have an increase in our water bill next month.” Bumbalough also asked council to approve the resealing of the parking lot at the fire department at a cost of $2,038, which the board approved. The mayor reported that the squad vehicle that the village wanted to trade did not go through so the vehicle will now be placed on a vehicles-for-auction website in hopes of selling it. The vehicle will have a $4,000 reserve. Councilman John Hude-

pohl asked if it might be possible to trade other equipment on the site as well. The mayor said the village was not allowed to trade items, but it would be good if it could. Police chief Jim Lewis reported to council that his department had written 63 tickets with 66 violations, one DUI (driving under the influence). Five reports were taken by his department, one for breaking and entering. “Myself and three of my officers attended a Meth Awareness class recently put on by the county,” Chief Lewis said. “We also attended a class on Improvised Explosives offered by the Hamilton County Bomb Squad. “They blew up a van and had 12 different kinds of explosives, some of which were made out of household items.” Lewis said the class was very interesting for everyone who attended and they learned a lot. In other business at the meeting Tim Mock, village administrator reported to council that a follow-up on the Nature Works Grant had been very useful. “Now we just want to make sure that people know the new skatepark is there at the park and is open,” Mock said. “I no-
ticed there were at least six people at the skatepark the other day, which is good for no bigger than it is, so it’s being used. “Three years ago when we started this park project there were some issues about the skatepark and bicycles together but it’s all going well.” He said he has received a lot of compliments on the park and told council that the playground equipment has been ordered and it should be installed before the end of summer. Mock explained to council that the project in progress on South Main Street was waiting for storm basins to make it on to the site which should arrive in a couple days. Sidewalks and new gutters should also soon be complete and the blacktop will be done in three or four weeks. Mayor Bumbalough offered his congratulations to members of the Sardinia Knot Hole C team for finishing runner-up in the Greater Cincinnati tournament. He stated that this was the first time the team had reached the championship game and that the kids played very hard and the coaches did a great job. He also thanked police officer Glenn Bohls and cadet Josh Lewis and Chief

caller does not represent Medicare. Scammers often try to take advantage of what's in the news, and with the upcoming health care changes involving the Affordable Care Act, these kinds of scams may become more common. Attorney General DeWine offers consumers the following tips to protect themselves: Don’t give out personal information over the phone. Don’t respond to suspicious calls. Even if the caller says you can press a button to opt out, don’t follow the instructions. By pressing a button, you indicate that you have an active phone number, which may lead to more calls. Don’t trust your caller ID. Scammers often “spoof” the number that appears on your caller ID so that a call ap-
pearing to be from a local area code phone number may be coming from another state or another country. Be careful any time someone offers you something for “free” but requests personal information. Once they get your credit card number or bank account information, they could charge you. If you get a call with a recorded sales message and you haven't given the company your written permission to call, the call is in violation of Do Not Call laws and the offer is likely a scam. If you gave information to one of these callers, check your account statements. If you find unexpected charges, ask your bank or credit card company to remove them. Contact the Ohio Attorney General’s Office at 800-2820515 or www.OhioAttorneyGeneral.gov for help or to report a scam.

Mt. Orab Ford Employee Salute!
DAN KUNZE Gabbard's Mt Orab Ford's Dan Kunze has played a huge role in guiding us over the years. Dan has been our Accounting and Office Manager since March of 1985. Dan has won Ford's Business Management Accounting Excellence Award too many times to count. In 1985, we found ourselves in need of a new chief accountant. Ralph Gabbard called an old mentor for advice, Harold Bennett, owner-dealer at Bennett Ford. Harold had one suggestion, Dan Kunze. Dan had previously worked at Eastgate Ford for owner-dealer Johnny Meyers, another of Ralph's allies. Johnny had been instrumental in convincing Ford's Dealer Development Department to put Ralph in as the new dealer in Mt Orab in 1976. It just felt right, so Dan and his wife Helen moved to the area and Dan started on March 10th 1985. Dan is also an avid bowler and very good at it, coming very close to a 300 game twice. We thank you Dan for your character, diligence, and integrity.

Laodiceans
Proverbs 30:11-14: “There is a generation that curseth their father, and doth not bless their mother. There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthiness. There is a generation, O how lofty are their eyes! and their eyelids are lifted up. There is a generation, whose teeth are as swords, and their jaw teeth as knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from among men.” The book of Proverbs was especially written for young people so take heed young people. I want you to take notice of these 4 things in verses 11-14. Now go with me to Matthew 24:34 and listen to the words of Jesus: “Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.” You know that they say now the younger people are referred to as the millenial generation. If you are between 30 and 45 you are of the x-generation. Next comes the baby boomers and after them it is the silent generation. If you are 85 and older you are referred to as the great generation. But listen, there is a future populance that will be living when Jesus comes back and calls His church away (I Thessalonians 4:16-17). Part of that population will be called the Laodicean generation. Society is not getting any better. In fact the Bible states in II Timothy 3:13: “But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.” So what we have is more killing, more stealing, more drinking, more dope, and more of everything which is just plain wrong! It does not matter that we are getting more technology; what matters is that we are getting more moral degeneration as time passes and that affects the church. Look with me in the book of Revelation. God put the church in 7 different ages which covers almost 2000 years. Now, ladies and gentlemen, the church is almost 2000 years old. It has about another 20 years before it attains that age. But the last two churches in chapter 3 of Revelation is the church of Philadelphia (which I believe we here are part of because we still stick to the Bible, which is the Word of God, and to the old paths) and the church of the Laodiceans. The church of the Laodiceans is a modern church. It is a very, very strong church but just not

for the will of God. It is neither hot or cold. In verse 14 Jesus said: “And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans...” He did not say: in church of Laodicea. That makes a big difference. He is talking about the laymen of the church, which is the average person which sets in the pew. The church is run by the laymen. All the power lays with them and they tell the preacher what to do. Now look at verses 15-17, He said: “I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:” This is not a poor church! They have material riches, they don’t have the true riches. They are spiritually poor and blind. I told a young preacher that his bible had some verses missing; he said well, that doesn’t matter; I have a laptop. I believe what these verses in both Proverbs and Matthew are speaking about is the future generation that will be in existence at the time of the rapture of the church. II Timothy 4:2-4 states: “Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.” This is the church of the Laodiceans and God said He will spew them out of His mouth! So beware young people; God said to: “ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein...” (Jeremiah 6:16)

Are you 65 or permanently disabled and not receiving the Homestead Tax Exemption on your property tax? (The Homestead Exemption applies to your permanent residence only.) If so, please stop in the office of Jill Hall, Brown County Auditor, and fill out the form to receive this discount. Jill’s office will also mail you a form if you need one. If you are not sure whether you currently receive this exemption or not, please call the Brown County Auditor Office at (937) 378-6398. With the new State Budget Bill, the laws on Homestead Exemption are changing (ORC 353.02) For those turning 65 years of age in 2013,(or older) and those who are totally and permanently disabled in 2013, late applications must be filed no later than June 2, 2014 to receive the exemption without means testing. Beginning with tax year 2014 new participants will be subject to an income maximum of $30,000 per year which means as of 2014, your combined household adjusted gross income must be less than $30,000 in order to receive this credit. Currently there is no limit on your income. If you are already receiving this exemption then you are grandfathered in and do not need to meet the $30,000 income limit. This means that if you turn 65 after 2013, become permanently disabled after 2013, or you have not filed for this exemption prior to 2014, your income must be below the $30,000 level in order to receive this property tax exemption. For the manufactured and mobile home tax, changes will go into effect for tax year 2015.

A Homestead Exemption can save you money
www.browncountypress.com
Owners must have received the exemption for tax year 2014 in order to take advantage of the grandfather provision. If you are disabled this year, turning 65 this year, or already 65, Jill Hall, Brown County Auditor will accept applications throughout the rest of this year so that you may receive this tax break. Jill says: “The law requires that Homestead Exemption Forms are to be filed between January 1 and the 1st Monday in June for this exemption. My office has already processed the forms filed during those dates however we will continue to accept forms for processing next year, in order to help all the senior citizens and disabled persons in Brown County. By law these forms will not be processed until next year, however, since the change is so confusing, we will still accept them for the remainder of this year. This means that next year you will still receive your normal tax bill, but in the fall of 2014 you will receive a refund from my office for the Homestead Exemption. When you receive your bill in 2015, the exemption will be taken directly off of that bill.” Jill Hall, Brown County Auditor, wants to make sure that everyone in Brown County that is able to receive this Homestead Exemption on their property tax, is signed up for it. “This exemption may save a property owner up to few hundred dollars on their bill. It is not a small savings.” “Many people do not understand this exemption so please give my office a call if you have any questions.”

The Aberdeen Village Council discussed annexation of a local mobile home park on August 12. From left are Mayor Harry Foxworthy, Fiscal Officer Nathan Pfeffer, and council members Billie Eitel, James Perraut and Jerry Applegate.
Annexation talk in Aberdeen, crime concerns residents CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 “Drug issues, prostitution, you name it, we see it every day. You go past people that grab their genitals as the police go by, saying ‘you can’t touch me’.”, she said. She was referring to the fact that the park is split between the Village of Aberdeen and Huntington Township. The woman brought a petition with her that she said was signed by multiple residents which supported the annexation. According to the resident, criminal suspects who are fleeing from Aberdeen police officers will run outside the village limit and then taunt the officers who were chasing them. She is requesting that the village annex the rest of the property in the park so that village officers can patrol it more often. “We have serious issues here in Aberdeen, and until this town accepts us to be annexed in, it’s never going to change.”, she said. She also warned council that she was determined to see action. “I intend to picket you until changes are made.”, the woman said. Council Member Jason Phillips did not mention property owner Anette Mineer by name, but said “Anybody can go in there and rent. You can’t discriminate on who you rent to, but (park ownership) can put a stop to what’s
going on.” Council Member Jay Castle, who works for Mineer, said that it is illegal to profile residents and that “You can’t look at someone and tell how they are going to behave down the road.”, he said. Castle added that Mineer is in the process of pursuing a number of eviction notices on residents of the property because of various rule violations. After the meeting, Mineer said that she was continuing to pursue the idea. “I’m already paying for a survey of the property to be done, and I’ll be on the agenda asking for annexation at the next council meeting.”, she said. Mineer asked council to annex the property in July, but the idea was voted down. At the time, Mayor Harry Foxworthy, Fiscal Officer nathan Pfeffer and Police Chief Greg Caudle, among others, supported the idea. Brown County Sheriff’s Office Chief Deputy John Schadle said that his department routinely handles calls in areas of the park that are in Huntington Township. He added that if the situation is urgent, his agency will ask the Aberdeen Police Department for assistance. “If someone is in danger, we will absolutely ask for their help”, Schadle said. “If it’s a more routine call, we will handle it our-
selves and get there as soon as we can.” The Aberdeen Police Department is prohibited from responding to calls in the county without being asked by the BCSO to respond. The same procedure applies to all other villages in the county. In other business, the council voted to restore $1.12 cents to the hourly pay of Village Clerk Emily Brown. Brown’s pay was previously cut as part of a costsaving measure. Foxworthy said that Brown deserved to have her pay restored because of her successful efforts at collecting money from past due utility accounts for the village. Foxworthy also asked council to approve taking Caudle off of employment probation as police chief. The vote passed 3-2, with council members Castle, Phillips and Jerry Applegate voting in favor and council members Billie Eitel and Jim Perraut voting against. Foxworthy also said that current council member Bob Verville was in declining health and asked council members to consider possible replacements. Phillips remarked that such action was premature, because Verville had not yet resigned his seat. The next meeting of Aberdeen Village Council is set for Sept. 16 at 6:30 p.m.

SHCTC, ESC hold ground breaking ceremony CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 tell you that this is one of the greatest ventures that I’ve ever been a part of. Everything seems to have run so smoothly to this point.” Pride went on to pay high praises to Kevin Kratzer, superintendent of SHCTC and thanked him for making the new building his priority. Vice president of the SHCTC Vernon Creighton then led the crowd in the Pledge of Allegiance. Jim Frazier, superintendent of the Brown County ESC then took time to introduce everyone who was in attendance of the ceremony who had some hand in making it a reality. Frazier recognized a representative from Senator Joe Uecker who was not in attendance but sent a resolution commending the venture. Also recognized were the three county commissions,
Tony Applegate, Barry Woodruff and Darryl Gray, county auditor Jill Hall and county treasurer Connie Patric, county prosecutor Jessica Little, Dale Cahall, Georgetown mayor and all board members from both the ESC and Southern Hills. Frazier also recognized State Representative Doug Green for his attendance and interest in the event. He mentioned Sally Frydryk, ESC treasurer, Mike Boyd treasurer at Southern Hills, and Christopher Burrows,superintendent of Georgetown Exempted Schools “Early on, the state legislature came out with a special Local Government Innovation Fund,” Frazier began, “It’s intent was to put some seed money out there to get two public entities talking about how they could share money, personnel, what they do and save taxpayers money. We took advantage of that and got $100,000 which got this
project off the ground. It wasn’t enough for the whole project but every little bit helps.” Frazier also introduced Charlie Jahnigen, architect and vice president of SHP Leading Design, responsible for designing the new building and Ken Keith, with Quandel Construction Group, Inc., the contractors for the construction Jahnigen talked briefly about what the new building would offer including a gathering room, a community space which will seat about 100 people, reception area and a board room that can seat 30 to 40 people, a workroom and a storage area. “The number one thing on designing this new building was that they wanted every thing to be energy efficient,” Jahnigen stated. “I’d like to thank everyone for coming out today and let you know that I am proud to be a part of this project.”

Russellville fire chief sends out plea for new air packs
B R O A D S H E E T
Village of Russellville Fire Chief Matt Neu reported to council on August 13, that his efforts in cleaning up the fire department were ongoing, but slow in removing a large amount of mold from the building. Every item or surface in the building had to be cleaned. According to Mayor Veronica Gelter, moisture had caused mold to grow in the firehouse. Mold was also found in all the departments equipment. Air packs used by the firefighters had to be thrown out because they were considered unsafe to use. Mayor Gelter added that additional EMS and firehouse ventilation systems had been ordered which should help with the problem. Chief Neu also said he got online and sent out a message that his department was in need of new air packs. “I couldn’t believe how quickly I received a response to my request,” Neu said with a smile. “I notified a friend of mine in Forrest Park Friday morning, who sent out the word, and by 6 p.m. that night I had several replies from departments who wanted to help us out. A department in Hamilton County donated five air packs to us right away and Bethel loaned us another five packs. They

also said they would help us apply for a grant that could help us buy all new air packs.” Chief Neu said he was very pleased at the quick response he had received from so many departments across the state. Mayor Gelter immediately asked for a list of everyone who had offered to help so the village could sent them a card of appreciation. Chief Neu also told council that a decision needed to be made regarding building a substation for Jackson and Franklin Townships. Mayor Gelter said a new contract needed to be discussed on the plans for a sub-station because the offer for $5,000 was not enough to cover expenses,

but the final decision would be up to council. A local resident of Russellville, Kathy Wunder, approached council asking to be reimbursed for the cost of her car being towed by the local police. Wunder explained that she was in town for the 4th of July parade and parked her car in front of a local business. She explained that because there were no signs posted and she asked the business if it would be okay, she felt it would be safe to leave her vehicle there overnight. She said when she returned the next morning to retrieve her car she found that it had been towed. She said she tried to find out where her car had been towed to but no

one could tell her. She even asked a couple of police officers. She said that if she had known it was a tow zone she certainly would not have parked her car there overnight. After listening to Wunder’s complaint council agreed to send her back the $133.75 towing fee she had been charged, since it was not posted that it was a tow zone. Following the discussion, Mayor Gelter recommended that any tow areas within the village be properly designated as well as a post a phone number or location where the vehicle had been towed. Local resident Bill Taylor attended the meeting to ask council if any decision had been made on what the village had planned for two local empty lots. “Wells Fargo Bank donated one of the vacant parcels of land, (lots), to the village,” Mayor Gelter explained. “One of the parcels has already been put in the village’s name, so we are free to do with it whatever council decides. “But I have been advised by our solicitor David Grimes that we can not just sell the parcels outright, we have to take bids on them after being advertised for everyone to see.” Grimes also advised council that the village could not auction the properties off. They had to take sealed bids. Sherri Neu, with the Russellville EMS told council that she had to have Pro-Kill exterminators in the EMS building to eliminate spiders, which had taken over. She said the exterminators told her they had never seen so many spiders. Russellville Police Chief Jon Clark reported to council that there had been no major activity in
his department. He said he had pulled over a vehicle and found marijuana and charges had been filed on the driver. “For the past few month I’ve been working on a sexual assault case on a preteen child,” Chief Clark told council, “We were finally able to get those charges filed and he was indicted in this last hearing.” Later in the meeting Paula England, fiscal officer for the village, reported that mayors court had heard 42 cases, for a total of $5,661. Mayor Gelter told council that the village was financially right where it should be even though mayor’s court revenues were down. She also advised Chief Neu
that the purchase of a new vehicle would have to be put on hold temporarily. Before entering into executive session, Mayor Gelter made a personal donation to Police Chief Clark for the “ShopWith- A-Cop” program that the village would be taking part in this Christmas holiday. The Shop-with-a-Cop program matches children with police officers who take them on a fun-filled day of shopping, a meal and a movie. Other law enforcement agencies across the county joined in on the event last year. She asked all of council to consider supporting the program in the village.

School Is Back In Session! Traveling to and from School Tips
1. Plan a walking route to school or the bus stop. Choose the most direct way with the fewest street crossings and, if possible, with intersections that have crossing guards. 2. Walk the route with your child beforehand. Tell him or her to stay away from parks, vacant lots, fields and other places where there aren’t many people around. 3. Teach your child never to talk to strangers or accept rides or gifts from s t r a n g e r s . Remember, a stranger is anyone you or your children don’t know well or don’t trust. 4. Be sure your child walks to and from school with a sibling, friend, or neighbor. 5. Teach your kids - whether walking, biking, or riding the bus to school - to obey all traffic signals, signs and traffic officers. Remind them to be extra careful in bad weather. 6. When driving kids, deliver and pick them up as
close to the school as possible. Don’t leave until they are in the schoolyard or building 7. Teach children to arrive at the bus stop early, stay out of the street, wait for the bus to come to a complete stop before approaching the street, watch for cars and avoid the driver’s blind spot. 8. Remind your children to stay seated at all times and keep their heads and arms inside the bus while riding. When exiting the bus, children should wait until the bus comes to a complete stop, exit from the front using the handrail to avoid falls and cross the street at least 10 feet (or 10

Metal or plastic lunch boxes with insulated beverage containers are one step up from the brown bag because they are sturdier. Your child can take a hot or cold beverage with his lunch. Insulated lunch bags are the best choice for school lunches. Some insulated lunch bags are equipped with freezer packs, or you can also buy freezer packs separately. There are bags with two or more compartments that let you keep foods and beverages separate. Insulated bags can be very fashionable as well. Some look more like a trendy purse or tote bag, or there are plenty of novelty bags to please any boy or girl. The insulated bag and freezer packs will keep your child's lunch cold, safe and fresh. Your child may get tired of cold foods every day, so you also need insulated food jars for hot foods. http://nutrition.about.com

Quilt Trail Celebration planned help raise funds for woman who started it all BY Martha B. Jacob The Brown County Press
A special Quilt Trail Celebration will be held in honor of Donna Sue Groves at 5 p.m.on Saturday, September 7 at the Hilltop Designs on Tri County Road in Winchester, Brown County Donna Sue Groves, an area resident is attributed with beginning the ‘Barn Quilt Trail’ in honor of her mother Maxine and her Appalachian heritage when she first painted a quilt pattern on her barn in Adams County in 2001. Groves work on the project later led to a cooperative with the Ohio Arts Council and other community organizations inspired by her idea to paint 20 quilt squares on the side of barns along a specific driving trail. Donna Groves trail continues to be of great interest today and has become the largest grassroots public arts movement in history. In 2008, Groves lost her job of many years and then, only a month later was diagnosed with breast cancer. But through it all she has continued her efforts to work on the Barn Quilt Trail. Jo Hall, owner operator of Hilltop Designs in Winchester, Brown County is a close personal friend of Groves and has organized a special fundraiser for her friend to help with medical expenses.
Provided/ THE BROWN COUNTY PRESS
Donna Sue Groves, shown here, is responsible for the concept of barn quilt patterns being painted on the side of barns across America.
“Donna Sue is such a special friend,” Hall said, “and not just to me, she is a friend to everyone she’s ever known. “I am planning this Quilt Trail Celebration in appreciation of Donna’s years of hard work. “As most people know, the barn quilt craze started with Donna Sue’s vision of beautifying the countryside in Adams County while also bringing communities and neighbors together. Since then, another 45 states as well as three provinces in Canada have jumped on board and hundreds of quilt trails throughout the country were born.”
Groves admitted that she has had her share of health issues but still considers her cup running over. “I feel very humbled and appreciative of all the people who have helped me out through these difficult years,” Groves said. “I was told I had breast cancer only one month after losing my job, then a few years ago found out I had kidney and bladder cancer. I’ve had many surgeries and been left with a lot of medical bills. “I lost my home, but fortunately had my mothers home to move back to. “But my life is not all bad news, today (August 6) I received a call from my doctor that my recent biopsy is clean, happy, happy, happy.” Hall added that it is time now to repay Groves for the wonderful gift she has given to communities across the country who enjoy driving the back roads and now highways seeing the many quilt squares. “This celebration will include speakers, dinner and an auction,” Hall said, “Stephen Caraway and Paul Worley, Adam’s County Commissioner will emcee. Any amount of donation will be greatly appreciated. All funds raised during the celebration will go directly to Donna Sue.” For more information on this event please call (937) 695-5545.

OHIO FARMERS FESTIVAL CMYK

August 22 - 25, 2013 Ohio Farmers Festival - Page 1
Ohio Farmer’s Festival to feature Lee Greenwood BY Martha B. Jacob The Brown County Press The 2013 Ohio Farmers Festival (formerly the Ohio Tobacco Festival) in Ripley, is set to begin at 5 p.m. on Thursday, August 22 and run through Sunday, August 25. Organizers of this years festival have geared up for the event like never before says president of the Ohio Farmer’s Festival Jo Ann Morgan. “I believe that most people understand why we changed the name of this 32 year old festival,” Morgan explained. “The tobacco festival had a great run for 31 years, but it was time to include all farmers across
Ohio to be recognized and be a part of this event. “This change has allowed us to focus more in agriculture. Ohio is so versified and we want to recognize farmers who grow corn, soy beans, oats, wheat, tobacco and livestock and a lot of other kinds of produce. “We have also included members of FFA and 4-H to participate in events, we are very excited about that.” Morgan said that the festival will feature three special Grand Marshal’s, all lifetime farmers from Georgetown who are still farming today. Grand Marshal’s include Carl Utter, Eugene Ring and Wayne Griffith.
“The reason we went with three grand marshals this year is because next year we plan on opening the position up to nominations from across Ohio,” Morgan said. “We feel like it’s definitely time to recognize Ohio’s farmers.” Morgan added that this year’s theme is “Ohio Celebrating the American Farmer. The festival’s featured entertainer will be Lee Greenwood Greenwood, a well known country singer will take the stage Saturday evening at 9 p.m. singing many of his favorite songs including ‘Ring on Her Finger’, ‘Time on Her Hands’, ‘It Turns me Inside Out’,
Martha B. Jacob/THE BROWN COUNTY PRESS
‘Somebody’s Gonna Love You’ and ‘Holdin a Good Hand’. Other happenings during the event include: • commercial exhibits, craft shows and food booths; • Festival Queen contest; • opening parade; • V.I.P. Dinner after the parade; • softball tournament; • fireworks display behind the post office on Friday night; • daily raffle drawings; • 5K Run/Walk ( 8 a.m. on Saturday); • car show, baby show and quilt show; • cow milking contest; • draft horse demo and horse pulls; • cardboard boat race; • taco eating contest; • Ripley Idol show; • Good Time Cloggers; • kids rodeo; • arm wrestling championship; • garden tractor obstacle course; • wagon backing contest; • Outhouse race; • prayer breakfast on Sunday morning; • greased pig contest; • cornhole tournament; • fireman’s parade; • baking contest; • tobacco spitting contest; • cheerleading competition; • duck race on the river. “There is truly something for everyone to enjoy at this year’s festival,” Morgan said. “This could well be our biggest and best festival ever.”
The Ohio Farmers Festival Queen contest is only one of dozens of events that visitors can enjoy. This years queen contest will be chosen on Friday night at the festival (August 22) on the main stage.

High hopes for soccer season B R O A D S H E E T
couple years for various reasons. “The girls have been improving every single day since an early tournament at Ripley,” Ashley Corbin, head coach for Georgetown, said. “We’ve been working on the basics, foot skills, passing and shooting mostly, but things are definitely looking up. A lot of positive things are happening.” Corbin is also dealing with small numbers, and has been working to bring more players to the program. Building the program for the younger kids has been a major goal for Corbin. “Everyone has stepped up, our seniors have done a really good job of stepping up and being leaders,” she said. “My main goal is improving players individually and as a team.” “I want to put last season and the previous seasons out of the picture. It’s been tough for the girls, and I’ve been focusing on this year and what we can do to improve ourselves. I think we’ll surprise a lot of people.” Long time Western Brown coach Dan Silvis is in the same boat. There are 36 girls on the team this season, and 26 of them are either sophomores or freshmen -- with only three seniors. “We’re young but we’re talented,” Silvis said. Going into the offseason Silvis lost eight starters, his entire midfield, goal keeper and half of the defenders on the team. “The girls have been working on moving around to new positions, and just getting them use to them,” Silvis said. The inexperience of the players could hurt the team, and the Broncos might have a rough start but there isn’t much worry from the coach. “The younger players have a good idea of what it takes to play, maybe not varsity level but once they get use to playing, we will be alright,” Silvis said. “I’m looking forward to a good season. “We’re young but we will surprise a lot of them,” Silvis said. Look for previews of girls soccer for Ripley, Eastern and Fayetteville next week.

There are other sports being played other than football during the fall. Probably a close second in terms of local popularity is soccer, or futbol if you’re so inclined. With a new school year and season comes new players, coaches, tactics and schemes. Some area schools have all of those, while others are just sticking to what works. Most of the teams are starting their seasons before classes, so they will be into their schedule when school rolls around again. Boys Soccer: There is a new head coach for the Fayetteville boys soccer squad, and he is actually a graduate of the school. Jason Iles coached at Clermont Northeastern for three years before landing the job coaching Rocket soccer. “I’m excited to be back home,” Iles said. “It is a very good soccer program.” Iles is also the track coach at Fayetteville, which helps him find new athletes to bring to either sport. He now has runners playing soccer, and vice versa. This season, parents and fans are going to see a different style of play from Iles’ players. A few new schemes are being added that teams “aren’t used to.” “We’re going to play to our strengths, and dictate what we do. Overall, I think we’re going to do good,” Iles said. Though numbers are low for the team, there is some good leadership from the returning senior players. “You’re going to see a different style of play from us. These guys have been working really hard the last couple of weeks, and we should be competing for the league championship,” Iles said. There are eight returning players, with only four seniors, for the Western Brown boys soccer program, giving the Broncos a better chance in Division II this year. “We’ve been focusing on fitness improvement, ball control, tactics and maintaining balance across the field,” Head coach Kyle Fender said. So far the team is “ahead of schedule” after
an encouraging preseason. “We’re ahead of where I thought we’d be, but we still have room for improvement,” Fender said. “We’re going to put the effort in every day, and earn the respect from our opponents, school and community.” Fender wants to be able to compete with every team on their schedule, and then whatever teams they meet in the postseason. The move down to Division II helps the growing program. Numbers are already up from last year, according to Iles, and he expects a “very large growth in the program.” “Every game is another chance to win,” Iles said. “We’re very optimistic about our chances this year.” With hard work and a little luck the Eastern Brown Warriors will win their district, and get to the finals. Returning 16 players, and seven starters, head coach Reggie Fender could do just that. “Our number one goal is to always lead the league, but its getting tougher to do,” Fender said. “We went out in the semi-finals last year in districts [but] I like to think we have a shot, and there’s a chance that could happen. We haven’t been able to take that next step so that’s always one of our goals.” During the offseason, Fender has been working on possession -- which is kind of a weakness for them right now. “Things look good right now. We’re improving some part of our game everyday,” Fender said. Despite returning sixteen, a couple of key players were lost from the offensive side and Fender is trying to replace them. There are a couple of younger guys who could step into the roles. “The seniors are going to have a good year, and make a difference. Hopefully, we win the league and that would be great,” Fender said. Girls Soccer: Some programs are dealing with having an abundance of young players on the roster, Georgetown being one of them. There are seven seniors, one junior and two sophomores returning from last season. The rest are either first year players or players who have taken off a

BY Brandon Barb The Brown County Press Not to be outdone by football or soccer, volleyball will be in the mix for peoples’ attention this fall as well. There is a new coach in charge of the Ripley volleyball team, after struggling for a few years. Mark Gilkerson has been around the sport due to his oldest daughter who graduated last year, and he has been a line judge for about six years. He has coached before as well, spending the last four years coaching basketball. “They had a coach who couldn’t fill the duties and they asked me to take [over] the spot,” Gilkerson said. “I’m kind of learning as I go, and taking the first year as it happens.” His plan is to stay with the volleyball team for the next four years. “I’ve been trying to teach the girls discipline. The kids need a little bit of that,” Gilkerson said. “Not that I’m going to be a hard nosed coach, just teach them the ways of life [a bit].” As far as the other aspects of coaching the sport, some of Gilkerson’s former players have been helping him out -- teaching the fundamentals. “We’ve lost four seniors, and just have one this year,” Gilkerson said. “There is a very talented freshman class coming in [though]. In just the last few weeks they’ve come a long way.” “I hope we can dupli-
cate, or be real close to what we did last year, but I’m a bit behind because I haven’t been in charge very long. We’re going to do the best we can.” For seven straight years, the Western Brown Lady Broncos have won conference titles in volleyball, there are hopes to bring an eighth back this season. “I have a lot of new players on varsity, and its a new look from last year but everyone is starting to gel,” Western Brown head coach Carla Fite said. “We’re going to continue to play at the level we’ve been at, and look to grab the title again. This team is more than capable of doing that.” Fite has a lot of strong hitters on the court this year, giving her setters more options with the ball. “We’re working toward working as a team.
Everyone will play their part and be successful. Our biggest challenge will be facing teams that run a quicker offense, and adjusting to that.” Even though Fayetteville has reached two straight sectional finals, head coach Sharon Sheets is still chasing that championship. “We’re returning eight out of nine starters, and I think we got a good shot at winning the league this year,” Sheets said. “It is a very in tune team, and I’m looking forward to this season.” Sheets is happy about the move down to Division IV, but “competition is competition.” “We won the league last year, but lost the championship [game]. I’m Really pumped about this season. I think its going to be a good year. “

The Ohio High School Athletic Association released new divisional alignments on June 13 and for the upcoming 2013-2014 school year a number of changes have been made to area teams. The three high schools affected the most by the changes were Fayetteville-Perry, Georgetown and Western Brown. At Fayetteville, volleyball and girls basketball move down to Division IV after spending a few years in Division III. Boys basketball at Georgetown was also moved down to Division IV. More is happening to Western Brown teams though. Boys basketball, baseball, softball and boys soccer are moving to Division II. Girls soccer, basketball and volleyball all have been moved to Division I. Bronco football has been moved down to Division III -- everything else is the same. By moving down a division, the Bronco foot-
ball team is looking to get into the playoffs for just the second time in program history, and being one of the largest Division III programs that just might happen. “There is nothing you can do about, except go out and play,” Western Brown Athletic Director Tim Cook said.”At Division II we can be competitive, but its going to be tough in Division I.” Cook continued, “The ones [teams] who dropped down will get help, those moving up will be challenged. There are some good teams in that division.” Western Brown football will be in Region 10, which will feature all southwest Ohio teams and be concentrated in Montgomery County. Playoff hopes are high this year for Western Brown football. With the Broncos playing seven teams that are Division II and Division III, the chances for points in the playoff system are high. The system is setup with teams earning first and second level points for wins, rewarding more for playing
larger schools and teams with more success during the season. Nothing will change for the teams during the regular season, they will still compete in their respective leagues. The division re-alignments will only affect post-season play. “In Division III the competition was greater, not saying it isn’t tough in Division IV but we will do better,” Fayetteville-Perry Athletic Director Tim Carlier said. “We will go further now in volleyball and basketball. We are very optimistic about having a shot at going into regionals.” Rocket football squeezed by the cut-off by having 114 registered boys at the school, out of the required 112, so they will remain in Division VI. Fayetteville will also be one of the smallest in the division. Another meeting is planned on the division changes, but a date hasn’t been set yet.

New divisions for Brown County football
Hello there: an introduction Hi there, I am the new sports guy here at the Brown County Press but don't worry, coverage will be the same, with a few new things sprinkled in throughout the year to spice things up a bit. Let's get the big question out of the way, I went to Conner High School in Hebron, Ky., and went to Northern Kentucky University. At NKU I spent most of my time in front of a computer in the dark student newspaper office, which is where I learned the skills that helped me get into the business, and now step into the role here. How did I end up here? Well, I was out in northwest Iowa for about seven months before seeing the opening here. I guess you can say that Andrew and I switched places. This is the first time I have covered high school sports, but don't let that frighten you. Playing ball in high school has given me some kind of knowledge about the different sports going on around here in Brown County. But hey, sports coverage is just news that has more physical activity and is less boring. After covering city council meetings while in Iowa, it is a breath of fresh air to be running around for the sports section. The newspaper business is a strange one, I ended up in Iowa after I graduated from NKU because I wanted to squeeze through the closing door, and now I'm back. The move from northern Kentucky to Iowa was rough, but the way the business is nowadays, you have to pick up and move sometimes. It's strange being back here, because I didn't expect to return with only seven months of experience under my belt, then again experience is experience afterall. In the end, being engaged will make you do strange things – like pack everything up in Iowa on a Friday, and start work in Ohio on Monday. I do plan on being here longer than seven months though. So everyone will see my smiling face around town and at games. I don't want to bore anyone with my whole story – I'm sure some of you will get to know me pretty well while I'm here – so I will end this quickly. I'm excited to be here. I'm getting back into the world of high school sports, and can't wait to cover everything. I also hope the people of Brown County enjoy my coverage. I kind of jumped head first into everything here so it should calm down once I get settled. All I can say is, I'm looking forward to my stay here in Brown County.

Water Requirements for Beef Cattle There have been times when livestock producers have had to deal with water issues for beef cattle. Some years we have had drought conditions that have limited the water, and a few years ago we had issues with local water providers had a pump and or electric problems that prevented water from being available for a few days. The water requirement for cattle varies depending on several factors. Of course, the size of the cattle is obvious when it comes to different requirements, but the temperature would also be a factor, as would the feed that is being fed. A high moisture feed like corn silage contains more water versus a dry feed for example. I have told students and young exhibitors that water is the most important nutrient for years in Quality Assurance programs. We are always concerned about the protein and energy in our feeds and the vitamin levels in our mineral program, but water is often overlooked. The following is a link to a very detailed factsheet that explains more about the water requirements for beef cattle. http://www.ianrpubs.unl.ed u/pages/publicationD.jsp?p ublicationId=1338 If you do not have the internet, stop by the OSU Extension Office, and we can print out a copy of this fact sheet for you. Please remember to call ahead. With limited staff, the offices unfortunately have to be closed from time to time when we are out doing programming. Call the Adams County Office at (937) 544-2339, Brown County Office at (937) 378-6716 or the Highland County Office at (937) 393-1918. The offices are closed from
DAVID DUGAN OSU EXTENSION SERVING ADAMS, BROWN AND HIGHLAND CO. noon until 12:30 for lunch. Soybean Aphid Update I have not heard of any reports from the local area from producers with Soybean Aphid problems, but that does not mean they are not here. The following is from the CORN newsletter this week, written by OSU Extension Specialists Ron Hammond and Andy Michel. We are receiving our first reports of soybean aphids reaching levels that require insecticide treatment in counties just south of Lake Erie. Mid-August is time of the summer when we normally see outbreaks in Ohio. Because of this, we would urge growers to check their soybean fields to see if aphids are reaching threshold levels. However, because the majority of reports indicate low population levels, we recommend that growers only treat fields that have been scouted and where thresholds of 250 aphids per plant are reached. See the fact sheet at http://ohioline.osu.edu/entfact/pdf/0037.pdf for further information. Tobacco Field Night I would like to remind tobacco producers that we will have a twilight tobacco field night on August 20 starting at 5 p.m. in the West Union area. The tour will include Dr. Kenny Seebold, UK Tobacco Specialist and some local farms. We will look at a new variety, some fungicide and insecticide performance on this year’s crop. Please call the local OSU Extension Office so we know how many to plan
for. We will have a meal at the conclusion sponsored by one of the chemical companies that produces one of the products that we will be looking at that night. The Adams County Office number is (937) 544-2339; Brown County (937) 378-6716; and Highland County (937) 3931918. Please call prior to the end of the day on August 16. Details about the location that we will meet will be given when you call in to register. Soybean Field Night Mark your calendar for September 12 for the Soybean Field Night. We will look at some different on farm work that has been done this year. Dr. Anne Dorrance, OSU Soybean Specialist will be part of the program. Please call one of the OSU Extension Offices at the numbers listed above by September 10. The program will be located in the Northern parts of Brown and Highland Counties. Farm Science Review Tickets The Farm Science Review will be on September 17-19 this year. We have tickets at the OSU Extension Offices in Adams, Brown and Highland Counties. The cost has increased this year, and I believe this is the first time in my tenure with OSU Extension. The new ticket price is now $10 at the gate, but if you buy your tickets in advance at the OSU Extension Office they are only $7. Dates to Remember Highland County Fair August 31-September 7 Soybean Farm Tour Save the date for September 12 with details soon. Farm Science Review September 17-19 and we have tickets at the OSU Extension Office Brown County Fair September 23 -28
Hocking Hills visitors to Paddle for the Battle against breast cancer Travelers are invited to join Hocking Hills Adventures in the 7th Annual Paddle for the Battle, where participants will canoe and kayak the scenic Hocking River to raise money for the Logan Cancer Support Group. Paddle for the Battle takes place Saturday, September 7, starting at noon, with 100 percent of the $25.00 entry fee benefiting local cancer patients via the Logan Cancer Support Group. Additional donations are also welcome. Complete information is available at www.hockinghillscanoeing.com or by contacting Paddle for the Battle organizer Shane Barbini at shane@hockinghillscanoeing.com or (419)-7226778. Paddle for the Battle kicks off at noon with a nine-mile canoe or kayak race. Race winners receive prizes donated by local merchants. Then at 1 p.m., participants who prefer a more leisurely paddle will enjoy a naturalist-guided kayak or canoe trip down the Hocking River. The eight-mile canoe or kayak trip takes approximately three hours, as Hocking Hills Adventures’ naturalists guide participants along the Hocking River, pointing the Natural Rockbridge, the old Hocking Canal, area wetlands and wildlife and other natural features of Hocking Hills' untouched landscape. Participants also receive a goodie bag filled with gifts and discounts from local merchants, attractions and restaurants, including a $5 discount on Trek Theater, featuring Shawnee storytelling theater and live bluegrass music in a gorgeous woodland setting. Trek Theater starts at 7 p.m. on Saturday, and is the ideal way to unwind and experience more Hocking Hills beauty after Paddle for the Battle.
Paddle for the Battle was launched in 2006 as a tribute to Connie Barbini, founder of Hocking Hills Adventures and the Hocking Valley Canoe Livery. Barbini ultimately lost her own 10-year-battle with breast cancer, however she and her family were well served by the Logan Cancer Support Group, as are so many other individuals and families in the southeast Ohio community. "We started Paddle for the Battle not only as a tribute to my mom," said Connie Barbini's son and event organizer, Shane Barbini, "But we want to honor everyone who is fighting or has fought cancer and let our visitors help us fight cancer by sustaining the important work of Logan Cancer Support Group." Located 40 miles south-
east of Columbus, Ohio, Hocking Hills region offers once-in-a-lifetime experiences that make every day feel like Saturday, with plenty of Admission: FREE activities. The region boasts a wide variety of affordable lodging, from camping, cabins and cottages to hotels and inns.

Unique gift and antique shops, canoeing, horseback riding, golf, spas and more add to the allure of the Hocking Hills as the perfect place to unplug.

Have you heard the “singing” of the cicadas this summer? Some people refer to that “singing” as “power-tool-like screeching”! Annual Dog-Day Cicadas (Tibicen spp.) have a predator lurking in your lawn and landscape – the Cicada Killer Wasp (Sphecius speciosus). In a recent OSUE Buckeye Yard and Garden Line newsletter, Joe Boggs (Hamilton County OSUE), reported receiving an e-mail message from a distraught home owner describing hundreds of these beneficial insects. Their low-level flights over sand volleyball courts, sparse lawns, and bare areas can be disconcerting. Their attack on a
cicada is signaled by an abrupt halt in the staccato “singing” of the cicada, often punctuated by a highpitched screech, which usually means a cicada killer has committed an “insecticidal act”. (A bit gruesome, but a fact of nature.) Cicada killers are the largest wasps found in Ohio, measuring 1 1/8 to 1 5/8 inches in length. The wasps have black bodies that are marked with yellow to white patches on the first three abdominal (rear part) segments. The head, thorax and legs are rusty red and the wings are russet-yellow. As with all hymenoptera (wasps, bees, etc), only the females possess stingers (ovipositors); however, they are not aggressive. The females spend their
time digging and provisioning burrows with paralyzed cicada-prey. The males spend their time establishing and defending territories that encompass the females. They will aggressively buzz any transgressor who dares to enter their territory; including people. The females prefer to dig their brood burrows in bare, well-drained soil that is exposed to full sunlight. Although the wasps are considered solitary, all of the females have the same nesting requirements. Thus, it is not unusual for there to be numerous burrows, and wasps, in relatively small areas. The males are notoriously territorial and will chase after other males as well as picnickers, golfers, volleyball enthusiasts, and gardeners.
More fun interesting facts Here are seven more interesting and fun facts that I’ve come across. If you’re an old geezer like me, you might remember how buying a big box of diapers almost meant renting a U-Haul. Those things were the size of a steamer trunk (which no one remembers either). Today’s diapers are significantly thinner. That was made possible with the discovery of superabsorbent polymers. These little granules are able to absorb 50500 times their own weight. Not only can they absorb the water, but they retain it as well. *** The Band-Aid was invented in 1921 by Earle Dickson, a cotton buyer for Johnson & Johnson. His wife tended to cut her fingers while fixing meals. She found it hard to bandage her own hand since it involved placing a cotton gauze pad on the cut and then taping it. Earle had the idea of precutting the gauze and placing it on a precut piece of tape. He mentioned the idea to his boss (Mr. Johnson) who liked the idea. Now every child with a boo-boo has Mr. Dickson to thank. *** Did you know that albuterol, the drug in “rescue” inhalers, is chemically related to adrenaline. When you’re scared your body
HEALTH MATTERS TOM CALLAHAN, RPH releases adrenaline. Adrenaline opens the airways so you can get more oxygen, getting ready for either a fight or flight. Albuterol also opens the airways. Since it’s related to adrenaline it can also cause you to feel jittery or shaky. *** One type of arthritis is called gout. Gout is caused by an accumulation of uric acid in the blood stream. Once there is too much uric acid, it cannot stay dissolved and starts to participate out in tiny crystals. These crystals tend to form in the joints (especially the first joint of the big toe). These crystals then cause damage to the joint leading to the pain and inflammation. *** Lithium has been used to treat the manic phase of bipolar illness. It was even an ingredient in 7-up until 1948. Lithium’s use is not as common today as it used to be. Lithium is one of a class of drugs that are called narrow therapeutic index drugs. This means that the doctor has to closely monitor the blood levels because the level
that is effective is close to the blood level that is toxic. *** The world of medicine is replete with stories of people looking for one thing and finding something else. One of those is the story of Viagra. Viagra was originally developed and tested as a treatment for high blood pressure and angina (heart pain). The original trials showed that it was not effective for angina, but had an interesting side effect. It went on to become the number one selling ED drug. *** Ever wonder why all your prescription bottles are amber (or sometimes green)? Those colors are great at blocking ultraviolet (UV) light. UV light has more energy than red light. When higher energy light (UV light) hits your pills that energy has to go somewhere like breaking chemical bonds in the drug molecules. Amber is also a good color for beer bottles because that same UV light is what causes the skunky taste in beers. Tom Callahan is a pharmacist, he lives in the Milford area.

Fortunately, it’s all a rouse since the males lack stingers. Cultural practices that promote a thick growth of turfgrass will usually eliminate a cicada killer infestation in a lawn in one or two seasons. In landscapes, the wasps prefer loose soil in full sun; however, they will occasionally set-up shop in open areas that are covered in a thin layer of mulch. Deepening the mulch layer and periodical raking to disturb the mulch or adding plants to shade the soil will make conditions less favorable for the wasps. Since this is a beneficial insect, there are no insecticide recommendations specific to controlling these wasps. I have learned to co-exist with my fairly large population of Cicada killers that love to burrow in my vegetable garden’s sandy soil. The first year I discovered them, or rather, the male buzzed around my head, I have to admit I headed to the broom closet for some wasp spray. Before I made the fatal mistake of spraying them, I searched the internet armed with a description of my “attacker”. Thankfully I found loads of information on this “gentle giant” living in sandy garden soil and put the spray back on the top shelf. If you would like to read more about Cicada killers you can find the OSUE Fact Sheet (HYG-214310), Bumble Bees and Solitary Bees and Wasps in Urban Landscapes, at ohioline.osu.edu. Remember to email your gardening questions to OSUE Brown County Master Gardener, Mike Hannah, at mhannah2@msn.com. A Master Gardener Volunteer will be at the Georgetown OSUE office on Wednesdays from 1 to 3 p.m. if you would like to stop by with a gardening question or problem. You can also reach them by phone at (937) 378-6716. One of our Master Gardeners took a question on Cicada killers this past week! Have you done your research on saving seeds? It

Local farmers can make a difference Thanks to the help of local farmers, over the past four years America’s Farmers Grow Communities has invested more than $13 million in rural America. Now in its fourth consecutive year, America’s Farmers Grow Communities will give farmers the opportunity to win a $2,500 donation for their favorite local nonprofit organizations. Winning farmers have the opportunity to make a difference in their own communities by enrolling and nominating a nonprofit organization of their choice. Over the past years, organizations have used the funding to purchase vital equipment, supplies and resources for the betterment of their community. Each year in an effort to expand the impact of Grow Communities throughout rural America, the Monsanto Fund evaluates new counties to be included in the program. Thanks to the addition of 18 new eligible counties this year, Grow Communities now reaches 1,289 counties across 39 states. How To Enter To make a difference in your community, register for a chance to donate to your favorite nonprofit organization online at www.growcommunities.c
om. The deadline for eligible farmers to enter is November 30, 2013. In December, the Monsanto Fund will then select one winner at random in each eligible county, and announce winning farmers and recipient nonprofits in January 2014. New to the Grow Communities program last year is the chance for community members to “plant” their ideas. Rural community members can now visit the Grow Communities website and submit an idea or initiative in need of funding. Eligible farmers are able to review planted ideas and consider them in their registrations. Farmers have helped fund more than 5,200 nonprofit organizations in rural America through America's Farmers Grow Communities. Farmers and rural community members can now visit GrowCommunities.com and register to win or submit an idea in need of funding. This program is part of the Monsanto Fund's overall effort to support rural communities. For more information about this program and to view the official rules, please visit www.growcommunities.com.
