Woman shot dead, child injured
BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press
A woman is dead and a baby is hospitalized following a shooting and car crash on Highway 68 near Gooselick Road between Georgetown and Ripley. Emergency dispatchers received a call about a vehicle off the roadway around eight p.m on August 28. According to information released by the Brown County Sheriff’s Office, when deputies arrived, they found an unresponsive woman in the drivers seat of a Jeep and a baby with a head wound. It is unclear at press time whether the head wound sustained by the child was the result of the crash or the shooting. The woman was pro-
nounced dead at the scene from apparent gunshot wounds. The Brown County Sheriff’s Office is treating the case as a homicide. The child was taken to Southwest Regional Medical Center and then to Children’s Hospital in Cincinnati. The body of the woman was taken to Montgomery County for an autopsy that was performed on August 29, the day after the crash. At press time, no other information is being released regarding the circumstances of the shooting, including the name of the victim, any estimate of where the shots were fired or how much time elapsed between the gunshots and the car crash. Representatives from the Brown County Sheriff’s Office, the Ohio Highway Patrol
and the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Identification were all present at the crash scene. Investigators from Ohio BCI and the Brown County's Sheriff's Office were searching the Jeep for evidence at press time. Traffic was shut down in both directions on Highway 68 at the 14 mile marker for more than six hours following the crash. Brown County Sheriff’s Department Chief Deputy John Schadle said more information on the apparent murder would be released in the coming days. He said investigators are being cautious with releasing information to the public at this time out of concern for impeding the investigation. As information becomes available, it will be updated at www.browncountypress.com.

The Brown County Sheriff’s Office, working with aerial spotters from the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation, found $175,000 worth of marijuana last week.

Brown County Sheriff’s Office Chief Deputy John Schadle said that the effort was cut short by weather, and hopes to continue soon. “If they can get us another day or two before bad weather gets here, we’d love to go out and do another flyover.

BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press
The Georgetown IGA is open again. New owner Eric Rabe celebrated the grand opening of the store on Saturday, August 24. Joining him were members of the Georgetown High School band, an honor guard of veterans to officially raise the flag and
dozens of employees and community members. “It’s a great feeling. I’m pretty emotional with the honor guard and all that.”, Rabe said. “Having all these people here this morning just puts a big exclamation point on how important it is to the community to have a grocery store. We are honored to be here.” One of those attending
the grand opening was Jim Griswold, who is a former owner of the Georgetown IGA. “I’m happy for Eric and the Georgetown community. Eric is very community involved and that’s an important factor in Georgetown. I wish him the best. The store is beautiful and well stocked. I’m very impressed with it.”, Griswold said.
Griswold purchased the Georgetown IGA in 1987 and sold the store in 2007. He said the excitement of the grand opening or Rabe’s store reminded him of his own grand opening 25 years ago. Georgetown Mayor Dale Cahall was present, along with other local dignitaries, when the new store opened its doors for the first time. CONTINUED ON PAGE 10

Georgetown Village Administrator Jeremy Germann told council at the August 22 meeting that he had met Aug. 21 with American Municipal Power (AMP) to discuss a program they were offering called ‘Efficiency Smart.’ Georgetown Council voted earlier this year to join AMP in order to save money on electric power for the village. The ‘Efficiency Smart’ program is one of many offered by AMP. “American Municipal Power help cities of all sizes reduce the amount of energy they use,” Germann explained. “They work with both residential and businesses to reduce their overall energy consumption. They come in and work with each of the businesses to find programs that would help them to save money such as ways to become more energy efficient by maybe buying new equipment or just changing their practices a little bit. They also work with homeowners.” Germann reminded council that AMP offers a different levels of involvement to its members and it is up to council which programs it decides to participate in. He stated that AMP purchased power on behalf of the village of Georgetown on August 14, 2013 for the years 2016 through 2020 in one-megawatt and twomegawatt blocks ranging from $35.55 to 39.30. The contacts terms range from one-to-four years. Peak power capacity was purchased at a set rate of $42.90 instead of a variable rate currently being used. According to Germann,
under the village’s current Dayton Power and Light contract, the village will be paying $65 per megawatt in 2015. Under the new multiple contracts with AMP rates will drop to a combined $52.50 per megawatt in 2016 eventually rising to $60.20 per megawatt in 2020. “This translates to an approximate $625,000 savings in 2016 and potentially over $2 million over the life of the six-year contract,” Germann said. “This ‘Efficiency Smart’ program is a very innovative program and it will be beneficial for the Village of Georgetown. This is an expensive program, it will cost us about one dollar per megawatt. but these savings overall to the businesses in the village will outweigh what the village pays. We plan on getting our numbers and come back to council with all the information.” In other business at the meeting several high school students and member of the Georgetown Church of Christ met with council to ask permission to have a 5K Run/Walk in the village on Saturday, November 2. “We represent the ‘Rise Up’ program from the Georgetown Church of Christ,” said senior Michele Schmidt. “We want to hold this 5K Run to raise money for organizations that we feel God has put in our hearts. “We wanted to get started early working out all the detail with the village since the runners will have to cross over Rt 125 and we need help from the police.” Chief of police, Buddy Coburn told Mayor Dale Cahall and council that he had no problem with providing police backup for the event
and said he would help any way he could. Georgetown resident Dave Guenther met with council again to discuss the noise from the skate park which he says is really bad and was bothering all the neighbors living next to the park. “First I’d like to thank members of the park committee for meeting with me to discuss this problem,” Guenther explained. “Of course I’m not happy with the outcome of that meeting but I do appreciate their efforts. I believe Jeremy (Germann) had some good ideas. I’m not trying to be nasty about all this, but I feel that this all comes across that the committee doesn’t feel that we have the same rights as the rest of the residents in this case and that is to have peaceful use of our own property.” Council members bounced around several suggestions on how to cut down on the noise. Guenther suggested moving the skatepark farther back in the park closer to the trees which would act as a natural sound barrier. However, council stated that there is more than $30,000 in concrete at the skatepark and the last thing it wanted to do was make the park less visible to the public. Germann told Guenther that he would continue to look for ways to cut down on the noise and that it would be a good idea to allow more money in next years budget that could be used to address the problem. Members of the Utility Committee for the Village of Georgetown reported that Wayne Cannon, a rural development specialist con-
tractor through the Rural Community Assistance Program gave the committee a presentation on setting wastewater rates. Germann said the group discussed debt incurred from Possum Run, Town Run and wastewater expansion projects will increase wastewater rates. In other business, Germann reported that he had met with Kim Satzger of Gibraltar Development Consulting Services regarding setting up a downtown tax increment financing (TIF) district. “Our plan is to set up this TIF district up in the downtown area,” Germann began. “There are several areas that we have identified as having the potential for more growth. Even some residential areas with potential.” Mayor Cahall stated that a TIF district would allow the village to reclaim a lot of the property that would be going back to the county, so that we can re-introduce in that area to improve infrastructure. “Now the county doesn’t lose any money in this,” Germann said, “The way we generate money is, as property becomes valued at a higher rate, their taxes naturally go up. The good news is, we get to capture the difference.” Germann explained that he believes if the village goes ahead and agrees to the TIF district now, those funds can start being collected, “Especially if we can fine something productive they can use that block for.” Business owners in the TIF district would not be charged any additional taxes. German told council that he would like to talk to administrators of other villages
from different shops. But we’re doing it a little different. The four shops participating in this event include: • The Country Barn, owned and operated by Ann Kinder located at 105 N. Main is a consignment shop and includes furniture; • The Tin Shack, owned and operated by Becky McKenzie, located at 115 N. Pleasant Street features handmade crafts made locally; • The Hodge Podge Shop, owned and operated by Carol Myers, located at 420 N. Water Street features specialized candles and other country decor items; • Schoolhouse Quilts, owned and operated by Hanselman, located at 118 N. Main Street featuring quilt fabrics, gifts and decorating items. “All these shops are right in the downtown area and easy to find with plenty of parking,” Hansel-
man said. “This Shop Hop should be a lot of fun for everyone who takes part in it and could win a free dinner at a local restaurant. “All shoppers have to do is visit all four shops, pick up a free ‘pass’ at the first store they stop at, have it stamped at each of the other stores. All four stores will have the passes.
“At the last shop, shoppers will leave their pass to be entered into a drawing to win the free dinner. No purchase is necessary other than the pass, which is free.” Each shop will be serving refreshments and some will have free demos or patterns for shoppers. For more information please call (937) 378-4828.

BUT WHAT…
Many inquiries start this way: ‘But what…’. This is asked many times of the Church of Christ. But what is the Church of Christ? But what do you believe? Let us answer that now. (Much more can be said, but space is limiting.) The Church of Christ consists of Christians only. We have no headquarters. We have no national governing body. Why not? Because the Bible does not warrant such. We are, to put it clearly, a people who want to live by the words of God ONLY. Therefore, each church is autonomous. Each local church is self-governing. The Bible teaches an Eldership in each church to rule only over that congregation. The evangelist is another leader over the local congregation. We follow the New Testament solely on these matters. (See Ephesians 4:11-13.) We are not a denomination for that is division and God hates division. We are not a part of the Roman Catholic Church for it is not found in the Bible. We are simply, again, Christians only. We seek to live by what the inspired word of God teaches. Yes, we believe the whole Bible to be inerrant. Rather simple and uncomplicated to live this way. Complication results with man’s additions to Biblical teachings. (For unity see Jesus’ prayer in John 17.) The Bible book of ACTS is the history book of the New Testament church. The church that God founded through Christ who is the head, started in Acts Chapter Two, AD 30. From then on in Acts we find the church bringing people to Christ. The terms of pardon given in
Acts Two are still true today. “Repent and be immersed for the remission of sins and the gift of the Holy Spirit.” (See Acts 2:37-38.) That is the only way to God. Jesus said, to go to the Father (and Heaven) it must be through him. Him only. (See John 14:6.) How can he say that? Now this is the best news: because of Jesus’ death, burial and resurrection he can say that. His death and resurrection made access to the Father possible! Amen! He took the guilt and punishment of our sins upon himself. Thank-you Jesus! (See I Corinthians 15.) We meet every Lord’s Day as Christians only. We worship as they did in the First Century church. We observe the Lord’s Supper every Lord’s Day. Remember Acts is our guide to the early church. In Acts 20:7 we find they met with purpose to partake of the Lord’s Supper each First day of the week. So do we in 2013! In Acts 2:42 we find how the Primitive church worshipped: “They devoted themselves to the apostle’s teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread [Lord’s Supper] and to prayer.” We do too! If you want to be a Christian only who follows only the Bible then join us for worship. Become a member of your local New Testament Church of Christ and be ‘happy, happy, happy’ on your way to Heaven with us! “All the churches of Christ send greetings.” Romans 16:16 Gary J Mattingly Fayetteville Church of Christ 513-875-3636

Intelligent reforms to the intelligence communities
Current events remind us of a long-standing and important debate surrounding national security and personal privacy. Twenty-first century technologies heighten that debate. And while these technologies can save untold numbers of lives on the battlefield and here at home, they can also potentially threaten our cherished right to privacy. While I oppose measures that would gut America’s essential counter-terrorism tools, I readily recognize the constitutional concerns that so many of my fellow defenders of liberty have raised. I understand the heightened distrust of government harbored by many Ohioans, and honestly, I share the sentiment myself. The Obama administration has proven through scandal and executive overreach that they too often fail to operate in good faith with the American people. Going forward, the federal government must work to make sure that intelligence gathering activities don’t violate our rights as declared in the Constitution. That’s why I voted for a
DR. BRAD WENSTRUP US CONGRESS
measure clarifying that no taxpayer funds may be used by the NSA to target an American citizen or store the content of their communications, including phone calls and e-mails. Citizens of the United States and my constituents in southern and southwest Ohio must have the assurances that their privacy is safeguarded and their lives protected. Both of these goals are important and neither necessarily outweighs the other. Outlined below are steps that I believe would add additional privacy protections for all of us while maintaining the government’s ability to keep us safe. First, review appropriate provisions of the PATRIOT Act, with special attention to new technologies and individual privacy. The PATRIOT Act was written over a decade ago and passed in
the immediate aftermath of the 9/11 attacks on America. This was a time when text messaging, Skype, Facebook, and smartphones either did not exist or were not widely used. While I was not in office when the legislation was last reauthorized, I believe that the legislative branch should reexamine parts of the PATRIOT Act, addressing the recent technological developments and where they fit within the Act’s authorizing provisions. Second, proactively declassify documents that contain information that no longer jeopardize the safety of Americans by being revealed. Classified documents play a vital role in protecting our country’s national security, but often intelligence agencies have a tendency to over classify information. They err on the side of caution, and justifiably so. Yet, as questions about the NSA have arisen, the agency has been able to declassify a number of documents to provide greater transparency and understanding of how intelligence
programs actually operate. Third, institute quarterly audits from a private, independent firm that are made available to members of Congress. Our intelligence communities handle massive amounts of information, ranging from the files of Osama Bin Laden’s hard drives to the phone records of terrorist cells. We must ensure that this data is being collected and searched properly and that any actions which breach the law are identified and corrected in a timely manner. This oversight must come from an entity outside the intelligence communities that has the clearance and dedicated resources to review data collection activities. Fourth, determine whether third party, nongovernmental companies can securely store data and records. Currently, the NSA collects and stores information on government servers in order to quickly query data when a threat is identified. This raises valid concerns about whether the 4th Amendment is being violated. CONTINUED ON PAGE 10

We also each receive that is, Donna my wife of 55 years and myself, $1000 each per year toward our prescriptions. By the way I was a Car Hauler, mostly Fords. Now pay attention this is very serious. Since 1985 84,350 pensions have vanished. But you say what about those 401(k) accounts that Paul Ryan and his fellow conservatives tried to replace Social Security with. Well now let's take $17,686. That's the median value of 401(k) accounts in 2011. For most working people, the amount in their 401(k) account would pay them less than $80 a month for life. Now some economists believe the reason some folks that's rich folks, attack Social Security because it's a large pool of money for Wall Street to play with. Now for the Middle Class. It's a fact that without a strong Union movement the Middle Class will shrink. It already has. Without a strong Union movement, corporate domination will grow. It already has. Look back to the 30s and 40s, the New Deal and the
Union upsurge created the first Middle Class majority in the history of the world. Over the past 40yrs labor has grown weaker, while corporations have grown stronger than ever. So strong that their control of government now threatens all workers trying to get to or stay in the Middle Class. Up to the early 70s when Union membership was at it's peak workers wages rose by 75 percent. Then from 1979 through 2006 as Union membership fell workers wages rose by only 4 percent. Workers unable to get a raise, kept up their standard of living during those years by women entering the workforce and by going into debt. In those recent decades all productivity have gone to the wealthiest 10 percent. But back between 1947 and 1972, productivity in the U.S. rose 102 percent and the median household income rose by an identical 102 percent. In 1955 the wealthiest 10 percent received 33 percent of the nation's personal income. In 2007, they received 50 percent. SO! We better start changing things or in 50 years we will be like India was 50 years ago. Danny Books Sr.
Q: How do I talk to my neighbors about their barking dog? A: Having this conversation on your own is often frustrating and may even be dangerous. It is wise to schedule the discussion in a neutral location and not while anyone is angry, preferably in a community or private mediation setting. A neutral setting generally helps to keep the parties’ anger at bay. Community mediation services are often free, or you can hire an independent mediator and split the cost between the neighbors. Q: I am getting divorced and my spouse wants me to pay to keep the dog. How can I stop him from holding the dog for ransom? A: frequently, ‘Who gets the pet?’ is the final sticking point in divorce. These conflicts are often about much more than money. If your attorney is unable to hold an effective discussion about the costs of keeping the dog, you may choose to hire a mediator to help guide the conversation. A mediated discussion will, for example, help to clarify why the pet is important to both parties rather than focusing on the cost of keeping the pet. Q: My dog has a congenital defect, and the breeder isn’t willing to talk to me about the problem. How do I get some answers and reimbursement for costs without suing the breeder? A: Getting the parties to discuss such an issue can be a challenge, and your initial approach is key to a successful resolution. First, get

all the clinical information about the health of your dog, including a brief letter from the vet outlining the medical findings. When you speak to the breeder, try to avoid an accusatory tone and use the term “we” instead of “you” to indicate your willingness to work together to find a solution. Breeders often see health complaints as a criticism of their entire breeding program, even though unfortunate things happen even with the best of breeders and breeds. How you approach a solution makes a big difference in the outcome, so a mediated discussion is often beneficial. Q: A vet gave my dog a drug I specifically said should not be used. I want to talk with the vet and maybe get some money back for the cost of followup treatment. Is there anything I can do short of litigation? A: Veterinarians must sometimes make split second decisions about how best to save a pet. Afterwards, their hands are often tied by the terms of their malpractice insurance when it comes to discussing the case with a client. If you want to speak to your vet, refrain from using the words “I am going to sue you” and leave your emotions at the door. ApproachCONTINUED ON PAGE 10

Do you think cat owners should have to buy license tags for their cats?
No, there's already enough expense in owning any animal, and besides, cats would be to hard to keep track of. Kristy Honneycutt, Williamsburg
No, everybody else's cats hang at my house, so if a warden showed up, how could I tell him only two of the cats were mine? It wouldn't work. Randall Lindsey, Mt. Orab
Yes I do, I have to license my dog, so cat owners should have to license their cats. Angie Keller, Mt. Orab
Well, fair is fair, personally I don't think dogs should have to be licensed. John Cramer, Mt. Orab
No, most people who own cats keep them in their house. Becky Higginbothan, Sardinia

The Brown County Press - Sunday, September 1, 2013 - Page 5
BY Martha B. Jacob The Brown County Press
Approximately two years ago, negotiations began on a merger between the Fayetteville United Methodist Church and the Marathon United Methodist Church according to Pastor of both churches, Dan Pelzel. Pastor Pelzel, cited declining attendance for closing the Fayetteville UMC. “It’s something we all hate to see”, Pelzel said. “The two churches are only six or seven miles apart and we felt it would be in everyone’s best interest to close the Fayetteville building, which we did in June this year, and sell it.” Fayetteville Councilman and local historian Joe Huber provided the Brown County Press with an in depth article regarding the history of the Fayetteville United Methodist Church. According to information provided by Huber, the majority of the first settlers to the Fayetteville area were members of the Methodist
Church. Ezekiel Hutchinson was the first preacher (according to records that were available) to visit the community in 1818. He united the scattered families into a regular church group. A church building was built near Cranmer’s Graveyard where regular church services were held from 1828 to 1868. The main part of the existing church building was erected in 1845 and was originally called the Fayetteville Meeting House. It was partially destroyed by fire or a storm and was rebuilt prior to 1860. In 1949 an addition was built to the back of the church. It was used as a social hall and furnace room. Electricity was first installed in 1945. The church was later painted and decorated in 1951 for the first known formal wedding held there. In 1956 a bell tower was added to the left of the entrance, then in 1958 the interior was remodeled. In the mid 1980’s an extensive building program

was initiated which was divided into two phases. Phase 1 was construction of a new foyer and the addition of bathrooms. Phase 2 was the construction of a fellowship hall and kitchen. But today, the once thriving church, sits quietly in Fayetteville, next to the fire department.

AS ANGELS
In Matthew 22 the Pharisees and the Sadducees are trying to trick Jesus into saying something that they could find fault with. The Pharisees were those who believed all of the things that should be believed by the Jews but, it was all outward. It was all in their head but not in their heart. That is not a good thing. Romans 10:10 tells us: “For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” That belief needs to get all the way down into your heart! A fleshly mind is not going to get it. Romans 10:9 states: “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.” Now remember, we all have fleshly minds because we are in the flesh right now, Amen? And those temptations that come are aimed at the flesh which, as we know, is very weak. That is why the Bible tells us in Galatians 5:16: “...Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.” The Sadducees were also religious Jews but their doctrine was different from that of the Pharisees. We find them beginning in verse 23 of Matthew 22: “The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection, and asked him, Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother. Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first, when he had married a wife, deceased, and, having no issue, left his wife unto his brother: Likewise the second also, and the third, unto the seventh. And last of all the woman died also. Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her.” Now remember these Sadducees did not believe in the resurrection. They were only interested in tripping up Jesus. This is the answer that Jesus gave: “...Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God. For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.” Jesus said: you err. Your whole illustration is wrong. First, you do not know the

scriptures and secondly, you do not know the power of God! Do you know where America is today? Generally speaking, America does not know their Bible. In fact, there is a huge amount of people that does not attend church at all. Parents are not teaching their children the Bible primarily because they do not know it themselves or because they flat out do not believe it. The children are certainly not going to learn it in school so just where do you think they are going to learn it? We are the most educated society there has ever been on the top side of God’s earth but yet we are ignorant of God’s word. America is no longer a country founded on the Bible. There are millions of children who are taught in our schools who will never even see a Bible let alone read it. So parents, if you love your children, teach them the Bible! They need to know the Scriptures. Believe it or not, you have more influence on your children than anyone else. And grandparents, that goes for you too! The Sadducees erred because they did not know their Scriptures neither did they know the power of God. God can take the water away from Japan and send it all the way across the Pacific ocean to wash up debris on our coast line. He can move mountains; He can calm the waters; He controls the universe! It is not Mother Nature! It is God! People err because they do not know the Bible. Therefore they come up with ideas like people becoming angels when they die. Jesus said: “For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.” People will be “as” the angels, they will not be angels. Don’t change the little words in the Bible. They are important. They are God’s word and you should know it!

The Jaymie Jamison Foundation of Hope was initially inspired to target cervical cancer but decided to include all gynecological cancers in an initiative to impact more women and their families. Jaymie, of Hamersville, was a 34 year old mother of four who lost a year-long battle with cervical cancer on February 6, 2011. According to family member Jaymie had a huge heart and had a deep love for her children. She was embraced by her community, the Village of Hamersville, who showed an overwhelming support for Jaymie and her family. Now through the Jaymie Jamison Foundation for Hope, Jaymie will never be forgotten and the foundations has continued since her death to draw awareness to gynecological cancers. Dr. William Richards, MD associate professor with the department of obstetrics and gynecology director at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine explained that there are many different signs and symptoms that can alert a woman that she might have a premalignant or malignant condition of her reproductive tract.

Have A Safe and Fun Labor Day! There is no labor a person does that is undignified; if they do it right. - Bill Cosby Work isn't to make money; you work to justify life. - Marc Chagall Without labor nothing prospers. - Sophocles
The Very First Labor Day September 5, 1882 - Peter J. McGuire, a carpenter and labor union leader, was the person who came up with the idea for Labor Day. He thought American workers should be honored with their own day. He proposed his idea to New York's Central Labor Union early in 1882, and they thought the holiday was a good idea, too. With four long months between Independence Day and Thanksgiving, Peter suggested a month halfway in between. The very first Labor Day was held on a Tuesday, September 5, 1882, in New York City. The day was celebrated with a picnic, concert and speeches. Ten thousand workers marched in a parade from City Hall to Union Square. Soon after that first celebration, the holiday was moved to the first Monday in September, the day we still honor. Congress passed legislation making Labor Day a national holiday in 1894. Labor Day is not just a day to celebrate the accomplishments of workers; for some people, it is also a day to talk about their concerns and to discuss ways to get better working conditions and salaries. from www.americaslibrary.gov

trained eye, it stands out. He can see things from the air that you can’t see on the ground and he can lead you right to it.” Schadle said that aerial surveillance and eradication efforts usually yield a good amount of seized marijuana, because some of the growers seem to expect part of their illegal crop. “A lot of the regular marijuana growers realize that
some of what they grow is going to be seen. They take some precautions, but we always end up finding some of it.” Schadle added that efforts to find marijuana and other drugs on the ground has also proved effective. “We don’t just rely on the aerial surveillance. Last week, we recovered 24 plants just from going up and knocking on a door
where we had a complaint.”, he said. Schadle said that if anyone wants to report marijuana being grown or other illegal activities, they can call the Sheriff’s Office tip line at (937) 378-4435. Callers do not have to identify themselves. “We will follow up on anonymous tips if people call us with information.”, Schadle said.
ton Wilder —This timeless drama of life in the mythical village of Grover's Corners, N.H., has become an American classic with universal appeal. Wilder's most frequently performed play, “Our Town” appeared on Broadway in 1938 to wide acclaim, winning the Pulitzer Prize. This play explores the relationship between two young neighbors, George Gibbs and Emily Webb, whose childhood friendship blossoms into romance, and then culminates in marriage. When Emily loses her life in childbirth, the circle of life portrayed in each of the three acts of “Our Town” —growing up, adulthood,
and death—is fully realized. “Our Town,” celebrating its 75th anniversary this year, plays Nov. 15-17, 2013. “Almost, Maine” by John Cariani—On a cold, clear, moonless night in the middle of winter, all is not quite what it seems in the remote, mythical town of Almost, Maine. As the northern lights hover in the star-filled sky above, Almost's residents find themselves falling in and out of love in unexpected and often hilarious ways. Knees are bruised. Hearts are broken. But the bruises heal, and the hearts mend—almost—in this delightful midwinter night's dream. “Almost, Maine” plays April 4-6, 2014. “Macbeth” by William Shakespeare—Macbeth, a
brave Scottish general, receives a prophecy from a trio of witches that one day he will become King of Scotland. Consumed by ambition and spurred to action by his wife, Macbeth murders the king and takes the throne for himself. His reign is racked with guilt and paranoia, and he soon becomes a tyrannical ruler as he is forced to commit more and more murders to protect himself from enmity and suspicion. The bloodbath swiftly takes Macbeth and Lady Macbeth into realms of arrogance, madness, and death. “Macbeth” runs July 2527, 2014.

The manager of Ripley Metal Works, Michael Walkup, and sales manager Todd Lawson greeted Wenstrup, Ashmore, Ripley Mayor Tom Leonard, village solicitor Jay Cutrell and council members Linda South, Charles Poole and Roberta Sidwell who walked across the parking lot to their facility. “I was impressed with how very personable Mr. Wenstrup was,” Walkup said. “Todd and I always work as a team when we take tours of our facility and we both felt that the congressman was very interested in what we do here at Ripley Metal Works. He asked some real straight forward questions about our turnover and the pros and cons of our location. When Mr. Ashmore asked us about allowing the congressman’s visit, we were happy to do it and enjoy showing off our facility to anyone.” Ripley Metal Works is located where the old shoe factory was located until it closed in 1995. The building is owned by the village and leased to Ripley Metal Works. The facility is a structural metal powder fabricator and ships its products across the country. It supplies the metal forms that allows windows to be formed for every make and model car in America. Before taking the tour, Congressman Wenstrup met with council and opened up dialog with everyone in attendance for a question and answer session. Wenstrup, a doctor, was

ing a vet to discuss best practices is difficult in the best of circumstances, so if you want to have this conversation, approach it from a position of wanting knowledge rather than trying to prove a position. Q: My mother is moving to an assisted living facility that permits dog, but I’m concerned that she will not follow the facility’s pet rules. How can I help my mother keep her dog while assuring the facility that the rules will be followed? A: It can be difficult to initiate discussions between your mother and the facility owner about pet rules that help the facility function. If your mother and the facility owner can talk about why the rules are necessary, they may then be able to discuss
how to make these rules meet everyone’s needs. To facilitate this discussion, you may want to consider hiring a mediator who specializes in elder conflicts. By asking the right questions, a mediator can help the parties discover where they agree and disagree, and find a solution for the conflict.

commissioned as a U.S. Army Reserve in the Medical Service Corps and was deployed for a year of active duty in Iraq in 2005 where he served as Combat Surgeon with the 344th. He introduced himself to council and told a little about his past. “I’m an army reservist and just got back from Fort Lewis and Washington State working on preventive medicine,” Wenstrup began. “I’ve been in the reserves since 1998. When I came back I started giving presentations to raise money for DAV and for churches and Kiwanis and Rotary and people kept saying I should work for profits, and they said it enough that I decided to run for mayor of Cincinnati which I did.” He was told at that time if he received 35% of the vote he would be doing well, and he received 46% of the vote. Then he was encouraged to run for coroner. “I felt like I had something to offer and I wanted to run for congress,” he continued. “I’ve been in the healthcare business for 26 years, been in the military for 15 years and feel like I am able to join committees readily. Touring districts like Ripley is one of the more rewarding parts of my job, when we’re helping our constituents especially individuals.” Wenstrup discussed area companies and jobs, and how they have been effected by federal cuts. He discussed economic development and how people can be drawn to the Ripley area. Wenstrup serves on the House Armed Services Committee and the Committee on Veteran’s Affairs. He was a volunteer for 14 years with Big Brothers/Big Sisters Organization and is currently a board member of Boys Hope/Girls Hope.
Intelligent reforms to the intelligence communities CONTINUED FROM PAGE 4
Instead of government storage, phone and internet companies could be asked to retain their records for a longer period of time. The government would reimburse the private companies for this lengthened storage and establish a system to gather records when legally and constitutionally allowable. The preamble of our Constitution tasks the federal government to “provide for the common defense,” and this core responsibility should not be overlooked when we talk about reforming our intelligence communities. Through deliberate and thoughtful steps, we can ensure the government is able to protect both life and liberty.

This substation will go a long way toward ensuring public safety.” The Ohio Development Services Agency released the following press release on August 28. “Today, the Ohio Development Services Agency awarded a $200,000 loan to upgrade to a vacant build-

State representatives with the Ohio Tax Reform Legislative Study Committee met Aug. 21 at University of Cincinnati Clermont College East Campus to hear testimony from several local government officials and leaders. The hearing was one of five that will be held in the state in August and September. State Representative Gary Scherer, of Circleville, is the chair for the committee. Representatives in attendance included Representatives Mark Romanchuk, Doug Green, Tom Leston, Peter Beck, and Mike Foley. Members of the committee heard testimony about tax reform from several members of the community. From Clermont County, Commissioner Ed Humphrey and Union Township Administrator Ken Geis, and Clermont County Chamber of Commerce CEO Matt Van Sant gave testimony. Each speaker raised different concerns and suggestions for tax reform in the state. “I want to thank the Ohio House of Representatives for forming this special committee and bringing the opportunity to testify here to Clermont College to hear from local governments and the community,” Commissioner Ed Humphrey said during his testimony. Humphrey said Ohio tax policies impact core services and play out at the local

level. He said the effect is important to Ohio's economic development and creating communities that help make Ohio a great place to live and work. “Cuts in the local government funds and the repeal of personal property tax on machinery and inventory have been particularly difficult on township and municipal governments as well as the county,” Humphrey said. “Casino revenue has offset some losses for counties, but the revenues are much lower than anticipated.” He said several things that could help increase revenue in the county include broadening the sales tax base, closing the loophole of internet sales from outside the state, and getting the severance tax on par with neighboring states. Union Township Administrator Ken Geis also talked about the impact the econ-
omy and cuts to the local government fund have had on Union Township. He cited the reduction of the tangible personal property reimbursements, the elimination of the utility tax, and the loss of the estate tax as contributors to the decrease in revenue. “Over the last five years, most governments have experienced a decrease in revenue,” Geis said. “Some of the loss in funding is attributable to the recession, but much is directly related to the modifications to historical funding methods.” Geis said in Union Township in 2010, the general fund had revenues of nearly $4 million and this year they have projected to receive $2.75 million. “For more than three years, we have been forced to try to determine the best method to fund our communities to a level that is
acceptable, faced with the reality that most residents cannot afford, or are unwilling to pay, additional taxes through traditional taxing methods,” Geis said. Geis said the township has worked hard to provide necessary services and reinvent themselves in the “new normal” in public funding. He talked about their efforts and the success they have had with Tax Increment Financing Districts as well as Joint Economic Development Districts in the township. And while he said the township has had several specific examples of success using these methods, Geis made several suggestions to the representatives moving forward. “If you look to change anything, please give us more economic development tools that inspire new development or eliminate
process,” Geis said. When asked for specific examples of these tools, Geis said improving the availability of skilled workers, eliminating some of the processes involved in creating a TIF district or a JEDD, and give permission for TIF revenue to be used more broadly in an area. Geis also requested the representatives put an end to cuts in local government funding. “Please, no more,” he said. Speakers from areas surrounding Clermont County included Springfield Township Trustee Joe Honerlaw, Mental Health Recovery Services of Warren and Clinton Counties Executive Director Brent Lawyer, One Ohio Now State Director Gavin DeVore, and more. Each speaker share their experiences and suggestions regarding taxes reform with
committee members. Speakers from the state included Robert Cole, controlling board president of the Ohio Office of Budget and Management and Joe Testa, the Commissioner for the Ohio Department of Taxation. Both state officials presented information and statistics about taxes and funding in the state. Representatives were able to ask questions and make comments after all of the testimonies during the hearing. The hearing in Batavia was the second hearing held by the tax reform committee. The first committee hearing was held at Ohio University Chillicothe Branch Aug. 14. The remaining hearings will be at 10 a.m. Sept. 3 at Bowling Green City Council Chambers, 10 a.m. Sept. 12 at the North Ridgeville City Council Chambers, and 1 p.m. Sept. 17 at the Ohio Statehouse. The hearings are open to the public. Individuals who are interested in providing testimony at a hearing can contact Alex Goodman at alex.goodman@ohiohouse.gov or (614) 644-7928.

DENNIS BROUGHTON
September 6th is the final date for Camper Reservations. This form is found on page 206 of the fair book. We have limited spots available and it is always hard to place everyone where they want. Thursday before the fair is always a riot with the Camper lineup in the parking lot. Please remember to not park out on the road or you will be ticketed. That is not the way we want to start your enjoyment of the 162nd Brown Co. Fair. On page 65 you will see where stall fees will be due on September 6, 2013.

Parade, games, Lee Greenwood appearance, great weather make for a great 2013 Ohio Farmers Festival
BY Martha B. Jacob The Brown County Press
everyone and we estimate between 3,500 and 4,000 people were in attendance. Lee Greenwood and his band seemed to enjoy themselves as much as the crowd did. He had nothing but nice things to say about our village. In fact, he commented how important it is to keep small villages alive with events like the
Ohio Farmer’s Festival. “ She continued, “I got to know him at a special ‘meet and greet’ before the show and I took him to and from the stage. We all enjoyed meeting him, he’s a real nice guy.” Morgan said the parade was well attended and most people who came to watch
the parade went on to the festival. “The weather couldn’t have been better, and that was also a big plus for attendance,” she said. “This being our first year under our new name, we were thrilled with weather conditions. Of course
we found things we want to improve on for next years festival, but we all feel happy with this years results. “I believe we’ve made some giant steps in the right direction. I anticipate 2014 festival will be the biggest event ever.”

Not just a karate kid
On Aug. 17 at Martial Arts America, in Williamsburg, during rank advancement testing, 12 year old Hannah Smith earned her black belt in karate. Doing so, she became the first female at the school to earn a black belt. Earlier in the year, Smith entered a sparring tournament as a red belt -- which is one level behind black belts -- and was paired with black belt boys. Smith held her own during the tournament despite being paired with boys who were two levels above her rank. Smith came close to earning a medal but she fell short in points after extend-
ing a match to extra time. During the spring, Smith was nominated and selected for the National Junior Honor Society, so she doesn’t spend all of her time on martial arts. Currently, Smith is a 7th grader at Mt. Orab Middle School but visits the elementary school to read to younger students. Along with karate, school, and reading, Smith volunteers her remaining time at church community dinners, food drives and an animal rescue shelter. Parents Heather and Brian are proud of the time and effort Hannah has put in to achieve her goals.

Two Georgetown players and one ripley player converge on the ball during a scrimmage last year. ripley has a new coach this season, along with a young team in nine freshmen and sophomores and only two seniors.
BY Brandon Barb The Brown County Press
This week, the remaining soccer teams not previewed in previous issues are being summed up for the current season. Ripley The girls team has a new coach, Marty Adams, and he is eager to help the players to a winning season. With 10 returning players this season, things are looking good for the lady Blue Jays. “Winning the league is a goal for them,” Adams said. “But I want to just go out and play up to our abilities and compete with everyone we play.” Even though Adams has a lot of returning players, most of them are young. There are only two returning seniors this year, and nine freshmen and sophomores. “It is going to be a learning process for us. It’s going to take some time to get use to the speed of the game and playing at the high school level for the young players.” Despite having a young team, Adams believes they will surprise some people. “All them play well together and are very cohesive. We can play different girls at different spots and that will make us a good team.” Adams said. Georgetown Last season the G-Men ended the year with a record of 13-5-1, which was a “really good season,” coach Neil Malone said. This year, the team lost eight starters -- nine seniors - and only have 13 total players, which will be a big factor for them as the season progresses.
“The interest in soccer has been dying, and we’ve been having a problem with numbers,” Malone said. “I try to talk a few students into it, but a lot of people are just concentrating on basketball.” As far as soccer players go, Malone is looking for Austin Kerrington, the top returning goal scorer, to do well -- along with Tanner Pack and Derrick Williams. Malone hopes to at least break even this year in the win and loss columns. Fayetteville With 23 girls on the team, and 18 returning players, the lady Rockets are in set to be a tough team to beat this season. Second year coach, Mark Ward, has the goal of winning the league this season, along with being as productive as possible. “Our goal is to keep everyone healthy, and get everyone more experience,” Ward said. Along with other teams in the league, the lady Rockets are mostly young with only four seniors coming back. “We’re confident we can be competitive with anyone,” Ward said. “A lot of these teams have upped their game and you can’t go in not playing at a high level.” Coming into this season a number of key positions were missing players, such as keeper and center. Luckily Ward was able to find players who fit nicely into the positions. “We’re going to go into every game not taking anyone lightly,” he said.

Eastern junior varsity players blocked the ball back into a Peebles player during their game Aug. 27. Both Eastern teams raised money for Farm Rescue Aug. 30.
Volleyball team raises money for Farm Rescue
BY Brandon Barb The Brown County Press
When a farming family suffers an illness, death in the family, or natural disaster it is hard for them to get back on their feet sometimes. That is when Farm Rescue comes in, a North Dakota based organization that helps in such situations. The organization serves families in North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa and eastern Montana — assisting over 200 families since 2006. When a family does need help, Farm Rescue comes in with equipment and labor to either plant or har-
vest crops. To help raise money, the Eastern High School volleyball teams held a special game with the title of Dig for Farm Rescue night on Aug. 30 against Fairfield High School. “We have some kind of community service event every year, and after having Farm Rescue help out my parents in Iowa, they made such an impact that I wanted to give back to them,” Eastern volleyball head coach Carmela Reeves said. In the past the players picked up garbage from the fair parking lot, held a clothing drive in Winchester and served a Thanksgiv-
ing meal. Choosing to help Farm Rescue came by not only because Reeves’ family had been helped by the organization, but because the Brown County an agriculture area. During the game at Eastern High School special events were held throughout the night. Fans paid to Ace the Defenders -- where they serve to either the Eastern or Fairfield players — as well as bid on silent auction items, and indulge in some baked goods. All of the money raised was donated to Farm Rescue.

Bre Large shows off her first place medal at the Junior Olympic Regional Track Meet held in central Michigan.
Bre Large, a 10-yearold from Mt. Orab, ended a very successful summer of Track & Field after earning the right to compete in the Junior Olympic National Track Meet held in Greensboro, NC the week of July 22-29. Large had to compete and finish in the top five at a USATF state meet and a USATF Midwest regional meet in order to qualify for the right to compete at the Junior Olympic Nationals. “It was a lot of fun,” Large said. “I learned so much about track and I made a lot of new friends.” At the state meet, held at Cedarville University, Large competed against 31 other runners and won the state title in the 400 meter dash with a time of 1.16. Competing against 48 other runners, Large took fourth place in the 100 meter dash with a time of 15.3 seconds. She then captured second place in the javelin throw (12.3 meters) despite only having one week of practice under her belt. “Bre was a pleasant surprise this season,” Cincinnati All-Stars head coach Jim Engel said. “She joined the team in June and did really well right away. We have high expectations for her next year.” Large then traveled to Olivet College in Michigan to compete in the Midwest regional meet. Athletes from Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky,
Tennessee, Michigan, and West Virginia all gathered for the right to compete at Nationals. Large just missed qualifying for Nationals in the 100 meter dash (15.6) placing seventh out of 48 runners. She finished sixth in the 400 meter dash (1.17) competing against 32 other runners. However, she brought home a regional championship in the javelin throw with a personal best of 14.1 meters. “Bre surprised a lot of people with her regional title in the javelin,” coach Engel said. “I know she was disappointed about not qualifying for the running events, but next year we will work with her using the starting blocks which will really help her times, especially in the 100 meter dash.” In Greensboro, Large saw just what it took to be a National Champion. Bre’s best throw of 13.35 meters landed her in 37th place out of the 69 athletes competing in the javelin throw. “I liked going to all the different stadiums,” Large said. “And I got to meet people from all over the country. It was a neat experience. I can’t wait to do it all over again next year.”

UC Clermont Cougar volleyball team swept Ohio Christian University and West Virginia Tech. Heather Rowland, So, was named Player of the Week by the USCAA.
The UC Clermont volleyball team got the 2013 season off to a successful start as they swept a pair of high level opponents during the weekend. One of the strengths of the 2013 Cougars is the depth they possess, but little did anyone know that depth would be tested right away. Due to a couple untimely injuries, Clermont used a shuffled rotation in their initial games. This depth definitely passed the test. Clermont opened their season at home against a top flight opponent – Ohio Christian University. UC Clermont Dean Greg Sojka and Assistant Dean Rajiv Soman started the evening by hitting the ceremonial first serves prior to the match. The action reached a fever pitch at that point. Momentum shifted many times as Ohio Christian took an early lead and won the first set 25-22. The Cougars then pulled back and won sets two and three by 27-25, 25-15 scores. Ohio Christian returned the favor in set four 25-14 and had an early lead in the fifth and decid-
ing set before Clermont rallied for the 15-12 win. The Trailblazer defense was effective in holding Clermont to a .134 team hitting percentage, but the Cougars’ blocking and serving made the difference in the victory. After the thrilling first evening, the Cougars hit the road for the four hour trip to Montgomery, West Virginia and a match-up with West Virginia Tech. Tech is a dual United States Collegiate Athletic Association (USCAA) and National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) member. The teams battled closely for most of the first set, before Clermont pulled away at the end 2520. At that point, Clermont’s offense kicked into another gear. A sizzling .492 team hitting percentage and several timely blocks helped the Cougars take the next two sets and the match 25-17, 25-16. Clermont also registered nine service aces in the win. Fresh off a weekend sweep of two strong opponents, the UC Clermont volleyball team got some
more good news as sophomore middle hitter Heather Rowland was named United States Collegiate Athletic Association (USCAA) Player of the Week. Rowland, from Norwood High School, made significant contributions to the team in the first weekend of the season. Her achievements included a seven service ace, 11 dig performance in a win over Ohio Christian University – a team which qualified for the National Christian College Athletic Association (NCCAA) national championship tournament in 2012. Rowland also appeared in the top five in several statistical categories in the first USCAA report of the 2013 season. UC Clermont’s next home game is Friday, September 6 – as the Cougars host dual NAIA/USCAA program West Virginia Tech at 6 p.m. For more information about the UC Clermont Volleyball Team visit: http://www.ucclermont.ed u/athletics/WomensVolleyball.html

Educators from across our county were honored with a national guest speaker to help them begin their 20132014 school year. Dr. John Draper visited the annual Brown County in-service, hosted by the Brown County Educational Service Center on August 20, 2013. Dr. Draper talked in depth about critical conversations that must happen in our schools, communities and homes as we continue our transition into this new era of teaching. Dr. Draper is president of Cambridge Strategic Services; he is recognized nationwide for his uplifting message while addressing hard truths. Cambridge Strategic Services is dedicated to helping school districts develop proactive plans
to create extraordinary learning communities. More information about his current work can be found on his web-site at www.johndraper.org Before beginning his teaching career and eventually serving as president of Strategic Services Dr. Draper served our nation in a variety of roles ranging from newspaper reporter, construction worker, jailor, actor, timberbuyer, musician, small business owner, choir director, soccer coach, Sunday school teacher and door to door aluminum siding salesman. However his heart has always been in education for the last 30plus years he has been a middle and high school teacher, assistant principal, Executive Director of
the Council for Leaders in Alabama Schools, and CEO of the Educational Research Service in Washington, DC. Dr. Draper earned his undergraduate and graduate degrees at the University of Montevallo in Alabama and his Doctorate from Samford University. He is most proud of his doctorate from the school of “hard knocks” earned as a middle school assistant principal in charge of discipline for 1400 students. He has done keynotes for hundreds of school districts and education associations across the nation. Dr. Draper was an inspiration to the teachers of Brown County and they will carry his message forward as they begin their work this school year.
National speaker addressed Brown County Educators
Tomatoes for stuffing BY Faye Mahaffey Master Gardner Volunteer
Have you ever tried to stuff a tomato and then try to bake it? Usually the end result was a mushy mess! Did you know that there are actual stuffing tomato varieties developed specifically for that purpose? Recently a gardener walked into the OSUE office in Georgetown with some odd shaped tomatoes. The Master Gardener volunteers were sent photographs of the exterior and interior of the tomatoes. Thankfully, Susan Barber identified them as Stuffing Tomatoes. I immediately did some research on the Internet and will be adding these to my garden line-up next year! Resembling bell peppers, stuffing tomatoes are thickwalled, hollow and relatively juice-free. When you slice one open, the seed gel is in the middle and the rest is hollow. Stuffing tomatoes are more popular with chefs (when they can get them) than with the gardening public. Chefs like them because they make beautiful, decorative presentations for both cold and hot dishes. Stuffing tomatoes come in incredible ranges of size, shape and color. They are showing up now in mainstream seed catalogs. Most stuffing tomatoes produce large, brushy, indeterminate

plants that need strong support. A few of the varieties include: “Costoluto Genovese”, an Italian variety that bears lumpy, red fruits with a delicious, slightly tart flavor; “Yellow Ruffles”, a round, flattened, scalloped tomato about the diameter of an orange; “Green Bell Pepper”, a green (when ripe) tomato with gold stripes; “Brown Flesh”, a mahogany tomato with green stripes; “Schimmeig Striped Hollow”, a red tomato with yellow and orange stripes; “Liberty Bell”, a bright scarlet, bell pepper-shaped tomato; and “Yellow Stuffer’ or “Orange Stuffer”, a widely available tomato that looks like a bell pepper. One potential downside to growing stuffers is that they are very prolific. “Schim-

meig Striped Hollow” is reported to put out as many fruits as a cherry tomato plant! I can hear my husband now, “Are we having stuffed tomatoes again?” Don’t wait for stuffing tomatoes to come to a produce counter near you because they probably won’t. Give them a try in your garden next year! 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.

do not leave foods between 40 – 140 degrees Fahrenheit for more than 2 hours. The 2 hour rule is important because microorganisms grow well between 40 – 140 degrees Fahrenheit. Now that we’ve covered the pre-packing basics, let’s focus on getting that lunch packed! Clean your hands in hot, soapy water for at least 20 seconds before handling foods to stop the spread of illness-causing bacteria. Check the inside of the lunch box, and clean it thoroughly if you see dirt, moisture, or other residues that don’t look like they should be in a lunchbox. An insulated bag is a good choice to use for school-day or work-day lunches. Insulated bags help keep lunches cold while being carried to school in backpacks, being stored in lockers, or on classroom shelves. Most lunches will head out the door around 7 or 8 am, and won’t be eaten until 10:30 am or 12 p.m. That means food could be sitting out at room temperature for 2.5 to 5 hours. Recall that foods should not be left out for more than 2 hours (except, of course, those foods that are shelf-stable at room
It’s back to school-time for many kids and teachers. Lunch time is a favorite time of the school day for many students, so be sure to pack a safe lunch if your student will be bringing their lunch from home. If food safety precautions aren’t taken when packing lunch, bacteria can be waiting to greet your child when they start nibbling on their lunch. Start with safe food. When storing, preparing, and serving food at home, remember these four easy steps: clean, separate, cook, and chill. Clean hands, utensils, and work surfaces before working with food. Make sure to separate ready-to-eat foods like fruits and vegetables from potentially hazardous foods like raw meats. Cook and reheat foods to safe minimum internal temperatures as measured with a food thermometer. Chill foods at temperatures at or below 40 degrees Fahrenheit, and
temperature). Cheese sticks and lunch meat aren’t real appealing at room temperature anyway. To better help foods stay chilled to proper temperatures, put at least two cold sources in the lunchbox. You could put two gel ice packs in the lunch box. Or, you could put one gel ice pack and one frozen juice box in the lunch box. If an insulated bag and cold sources aren’t practical for your kiddo’s lunch, consider packing foods that don’t need to be kept chilled, or have them purchase lunch from the school. Although many teachers will have students stop by the restrooms to wash their hands before lunch, there are many things children can touch between stopping at the restroom and starting to chow down on their lunch. Washing hands with hot, soapy water is the best defense against illnesscausing bacteria; however, hand antiseptics are another option in the event that

Who owns the rights to our own bodies? Today we’ll look at two different examples that make the answer to that question not nearly as clear-cut as you might think. The Supreme Court is hearing a case involving whether a company can patent the genes in our own bodies. The case involves a company named Myriad Genetics. Myriad found two genes called BRCA1 and BRCA2. These two genes are markers for an increased risk for breast cancer. Although these genes are in your body, Myriad claims you don’t have the right to know that they are in your DNA unless you pay Myriad $3,000. Myriad claims that any test for either of those two genes will violate their patent on those genes. They claim they spent the time

and resources to comb through the human genome to find those two genes and they should be able to patent them in order to recoup their investment. The second example involves our cells or tissue once it is removed from our body. In the past all tissue once it is no longer part of the body was simply considered medical waste and a researcher could do with it what he/she wanted. Now, in order to use the tissue in research, the patient has to give signed consent. Once you sign that consent, you have no rights to that tissue or those cells anymore. Donating cells or tissue to science sounds like a noble thing to do, but the rub comes in those rare cases where researchers, universities and companies are all making millions from cells that came from your body and you have no rights to any of that money. All you have to do is pay off the hospital bill you incurred when you had the surgery. Let me be clear here, we are not talking about cells that were changed in some way by the researchers, we are talking about cells from your body that had mutated in some way in your own body. This is the situation that is explored in Rebecca Skloot’s book “The Immor-
tal Life of Henrietta Lacks.” Henrietta Lacks was a poor black woman who died at Johns Hopkins Hospital in 1951 of cervical cancer. Cells from her cancerous cervix were taken without her permission and were given to a researcher who was trying to find a way to grow human cells outside the body. Most human cells will only divide between 40 to 60 times before cell division just stops. The cancerous cells from Henrietta Lacks continued to divide and still to this day those cells are some of the most common cells to be used in all kinds of research. Companies have made billions from growing and selling Henrietta Lack’s cells without a dime going to her heirs. The book “The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks” is an excellent book, and raises some legitimate concerns about who should profit from our DNA. I would highly recommend it. That book and the writings of my daughter before she died are what inspired me to try writing. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did, and that it makes you start to think about questions like this that are being decided with minimal input from the public.

blue mold find. I also had calls from producers in Brown County that they thought they had blue mold. During the day on Monday I went to the patches that I was told about in Brown County. I did NOT find blue mold in any of those patches. What I did find was target spot. Target spot is often confused with blue mold, but in reality looks nothing like it. Target spot consists of round spots that have rings if you look closely. The rings resemble a target, thus the name target spot. This disease, target spot can do significant damage to the lower leaves. Possibly 300 pounds loss, or maybe more this year, if not treated. The bottom leaves in severe cases will just waste away. I have seen crops that may have lost the biggest part of the bottom 6 or 8 leaves to this disease this year. If this is the case in your crop, remember a preventative application with Quadris at last cultivation will greatly reduce the loss. The Brown County cases were all target spot, but that was not the case in Gallia County on Tuesday. There were two patches with blue mold. This is confirmed blue mold, but there is a little bit of a puzzle about this. There has been no blue mold found in West Virginia or Kentucky, so we are not sure how it found its way to Gallia County, Ohio. For growers with later tobacco, a treatment of Quadris is strongly recommended. This will help with the fore mentioned target spot, too. If tobacco is topped and been sprayed with a MH product for sucker control, the risk of much damage from blue mold is greatly reduced. Always remember, DO NOT TANK MIX QUADRIS AND MH for sucker control. The two to-

ported that there is variability within the F. virguliforme populations found in the US which was identified with molecular markers and different levels of aggressiveness (ability to cause disease), but natural variation is expected. The very strong relationship of SCN to SDS is well documented - is this also true for Brown Stem Rot? This strong relationship relates to the increase in severity of the disease in the presence of SCN. Yes, this is also true for brown stem rot. Brown stem rot and SDS have very similar foliar symptoms. Anaplasmosis Case Reported Over the past few years there have been cases of Anaplasmosis in our area. This is a disease that can be fatal to cattle. There has been at least one case in Northern Kentucky this year. I will have more on this sneaky, but fatal disease next week. Some of the symptoms include abortion, staggering cows that can become aggressive and then collapse. Sometimes you simply find dead animals. If you have any such cases, report it to your veterinarian immediately so treatment for the entire herd can be started. Flies can spread this disease quickly, especially biting type flies like horse flies. They seem to be pretty bad this year. Blue Mold Confirmed in Ohio On Monday, August 19, I received a call from a coworker in Gallia County concerning some tobacco issues that included a possible

WORD OF MOUTH
DR. MICHELLE HECK
weeks at Children’s alone was between 200,000 and 250,000. This story reminds us how important it is to get routine dental care. It is especially important to listen to the signals our bodies give us to let us know there is a problem, like tooth sensitivity, pain, a foul taste in the mouth, bad breath, and swelling. Remember, baby teeth can abcess too! It’s especially important to address issues in baby teeth in a timely manner, as abcess usually happens very quickly in primary teeth. If you have any concerns about whether there is infection present in your mouth, have your dentist examine your teeth. Infection can easily be detected with an exam and x-rays. And remember, don’t ignore that nagging feeling that something is wrong with your teeth!

Deadline extended for nominations for Clement L. Buenger Award for Leadership In Education Do you know someone committed to ensuring all children and youth succeed in school and life?
On February 25, 2007 12 year old Deamonte Driver from Maryland died from a tooth abcess. The infection from the offending tooth had spread to his brain. The child had never had routine dental care, which probably would have prevented his death. Deamonte never really had much pain with his teeth. At least his mother said he never really complained, though she knew he needed some dental care. He had a checkup in October of 2006 and was referred to an oral surgeon to extract six teeth. The mother cancelled due to the loss of his medical card. On January 11, 2007 Deamonte complained of a headache and was taken to the emergency room. He underwent emergency brain surgery and started having seizures. He then had a second operation, and the problem tooth was extracted. He stayed two weeks at Children’s Hospital in Maryland and was moved to another hospital to undergo 6 weeks of physical and occupational therapy. He seemed to be mending, and suddenly took a turn for the worse and died February 25, 2007. Even though most areas of the country have fluoridated water (though several areas do not) tooth decay is the single most common childhood disease nationwide, five times more common than asthma. Emergency treatment can be costly: Deamonte’s bill for the two

Sudden Death Syndrome in Soybeans Our OSU Extension Agronomy State Field Specialists have assembled the following list of questions concerning sudden death syndrome and its widespread development across Ohio this year. I’ve (Anne Dorrance) done my best to address most of them, although for some the “jury” is still out as we await data from this season’s trials. However, this is only part of the list of questions that appeared in the recent CORN newsletter. If you would like to receive the entire newsletter weekly by e-mail, send me a request to be added. My address is dugan.46@osu.edu or you can go to the newsletter by logging onto: http://corn.osu.edu How good are the soybean genetic resistance genes in preventing infection? In one word, excellent! There is very good resistance to SDS now and as we can see from our field trials this year it is effective from the early to late season stages. I need to remind everyone though – disease severity is directly linked to the presence of soybean cyst nematode and new findings indicate root knot nematode as well. Managing SCN populations is very important to managing SDS. How many races? I read that preliminary research Identified more than a dozen different Fusarium virguliforme. There are no races – in the classic terminology in which an isolate will act differentially with a host that has Rgenes, like we have with Phytophthora sojae. Resistance to Fusarium virguliforme is a type of partial resistance and is effective against all strains. The Leandro lab and colleagues at Iowa State University re-

For the past three years, Leah Haines and Michelle Mayhugh, both members of the Silver Spurs 4-H Club have been representing Brown County 4-H successfully at the Ohio State Fair in the saddle seat equestrian division. Each year you have to qualify at the PAS show with your horse to earn the privilege to show at the state level. Both girls earned their spot once again this year to compete at the Ohio State Fair.
