Ripley to try for levy vote in May Another bond levy will be on the ballot in Ripley in May. At a special meeting of the Ripley-Union-LewisHuntington School District Board of Education Jan. 8, board members approved a resolution for a 2.6 mill bond levy which was passed at the Dec. 17 board meeting. The 2.6 mills general permanent improvement levy was on the Nov. 5, 2013 ballot and failed by only 36 vot es. The levy would generate approximately $260,000 annually over the next five years according to RULH Superintendent, Dr. Linda Naylor. “Our treasurer, Adam Zink will take this resolution to the Brown County Auditor’s office tomorrow,” Naylor said. “Hopefully we can educate our voters on the necessity of this levy by the election in May.” At least two bond levy’s expired in 2013 which add up to more than 3 mills. So very little will change for district voters on what they are paying in taxes. In fact, taxes will actually go down even if the levy
passes. The funds would be used for replacing flooring, new furniture and all new technology infrastructure. Naylor said the district’s bus fleet is also in very bad shape and in need of upgrades. “The ‘Citizens for RULH Students’ group is gearing up in preparation of getting the word out there about the importance of this levy,” Naylor added. “They worked very hard last year and had a very short time. Now we have the time, before the May election, to meet with people and answer all their questions about the levy.” In its organizational meeting earlier in the evening, the board approved the following actions: • appoint Glenda Huff as president of the board and Jeff Cluxto n as vice president; • appoint board member Barry Sims as Southern Hills Career and Technical Center board representative; • approve minutes and financial reports from Dec. 17 meeting; • approve Jeffrey White as Ohio School Boards Association (OSBA) conference delegate;
• approve Jeff Wilson as OSBA conference delegate alternate; • approve Jeff Cluxton as OSBA legislative liaison; • appoint Jeff Wilson as pu blic records training designee; • adopt the budget for the next succeeding fiscal year; • designate the third Wednesday at 7 p.m. as the monthly board meetings; • authorize the superintendent to serve as purchasing agent; • authorize the treasurer to invest interim funds when available, to make appropriations modifications within financial accounts and approve student activity, policies and proposed tran sfers; • authorize the superintendent to approve all applications for federal and state funds. Also on the agenda, board members elected in 2012 were sworn in. They included Jeffrey White, Barry Sims, Glenda Huff and Jeff Wilson. The next meeting of the RULH board will be Wednesday, Jan. 15 at 7 p.m. at the high school. The public is welcome to attend.

Akers, a third grade student at Felicity Elementary School, was playing around a pond at 947 Hopewell Road in Franklin Township with his sister, Kadence Akers and cousin, Arianna Palmer, when the accident occurred. According to the Clermont County Sheriff’s Office, the property owner discovered the children at the pond, two of whom had fallen through the ice, and attempted to rescue them.

Township, and Bethel-Tate fire departments and Clermont County Sheriff’s Office road deputies, investigators and the Task Force One Dive Team responded to the scene. “Upon arrival it was discovered that the home owner was successful in pulling a 9year-old female, Kadence Akers, from the water, however, the girl’s twin brother, Adrian Nelson Akers, submerged before the homeowner could reach him,” Sheriff A.J. “Tim” Roden-
berg said. AirCare was called to the scene and remained on standby while rescuers searched the pond. Adrian was found submerged after a search that lasted nearly two hours. According to Rodenberg, emergency medical personnel from the local fire departments and AirCare then implemented livesaving measures and transported Adrian to Southwest Regional Medical Center in Georgetown, where he was later pronounced dead.
‘Keep cemetery fence’ says group BY Martha B. Jacob The Brown County Press Members of the Sardinia History Group have started a petition to stop any and all plans by village council to remove the old wrought iron fence located in front of the Sardinia Cemetery. According to one of the group members, Donna Kinnett, the group is diligently researching ways to save and restore the 100 year old fence which, they feel, is
part of Sardinia’s history. During the Nov. 11 council meeting, Mayor Todd Bumbalough told council that something needed to be done about the old dilapidated fence and asked council and the community for recommendation on what to do about the old fence. “There aren’t a lot of companies available that are willing to fix a wrought iron fence that old,” said Mayor Bumbalough. “I don’t want CONTINUED ON PAGE 10
The Georgetown Exempted Village School District is trying a new tactic to improve student performance called “zero period”. It is a forty minute period at the beginning of the school day where teachers are available to students in grades 712 for more focused and individualized instruction. The program has been voluntary since its implementation, with approximately 30
students taking advantage of the extra time...however, “zero period” will be mandatory for about 250 students beginning on January 21. The targeted students are those who have not tested as “proficient” on state test scores or those who are currently carrying a “D” or “F” average in one class or more. Those students will be required to attend zero period for four weeks, and then their academic performance will be evaluated. If their grades have improved to a “C” or
better, then they don’t have to attend further zero periods. A letter has been mailed to the parents of those students by the school district, telling them that attendance rules will apply to the students that are requested to attend zero period, including the disciplinary consequences that come from missing required school time. Superintendent Christopher Burrows said zero period is also an option for any student who wants to volunCONTINUED ON PAGE 9

Ohio enhances OVI/OMWI Habitual Offender Registry The Ohio Department of Public Safety (ODPS) launched this week an enhanced registry of people who have been convicted at least five times of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, and meet certain other criteria established by law. By automating what had been a paper-driven process, ODPS and the Ohio State Highway Patrol have produced a more upto-date, complete and searchable listing of habitual offenders. Several recent media reports had identified gaps in the registry, which was created in 2008. The upgrades dramatically improve the system and the results. Instead of relying on local court jurisdictions to submit forms to add a habitual offender to the registry, the new system compiles the information automatically from already existing electronic records. A state law created the registry and defined who

should be included: • Anyone with five or more convictions during the past 20 years (at least one of the convictions must be since the law took effect on September 30, 2008). • The registry does not include convictions more than 20 years old. • The registry does not include deceased people. • The registry does not include out-of-state convictions. • Juvenile offenses are included. • If a single incident results in multiple impaired driving-related convictions, it is counted as one conviction for purposes of this registry.
Stage3 Instruments new phone number The correct phone number for Stage3 Instruments, located at 112 North High Street in Mt. Orab is (937) 444-1377. The number written in last weeks’s story was incorrect. Stage 3 Instruments is owned and operated by Jon Hart.
This change comes just in time for the holiday season, which can be one of the most dangerous times of the year on the road, due to an increase in impaired driving. The Patrol will be out in full force this holiday season, removing dangerous and impaired drivers in an effort to reduce fatal and injury crashes. Last year in Ohio, seven people died in OVIrelated crashes between Christmas and New Year’s. The public is encouraged to continue using #677 to report dangerous or impaired drivers, as well as drug activity.

BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press The Mount Orab Police Department is reporting a rash of thefts from cars in the village. Chief Bryan Mount said that the thieves are not targeting locked cars...they are just opening the doors of unlocked vehicles. “If people will lock their cars it will save them a lot of frustration from getting their vehicle torn apart”, Mount said. “They are going through the consoles, glove boxes, stealing sunglasses and DVD players, wedding rings and purses.” Mount is asking that anyone who has had someone go through their car looking for valuables to call the police, whether something was stolen or not. “Knowing where and when this is happening will help us figure out who

Mt. Orab Ford Employee Salute!
JOSH TAYLOR Gabbard's Mt Orab Ford's Josh Taylor is a Ford Service Technician. In late 2011 we were in need of a good service technician. We asked our technicians if they knew anybody that might work. One of our senior technicians, Dan Hurt, recommended Josh, even though he seemed a little young at the time. Josh had participated in his High School's early placement program through one of the local vocational systems. He had also worked several years with other service departments, having received training from the ASE, and another prominent service company. Josh has proven himself to be highly mechanically inclined, hard working, and dependable. Right before he started working with us on November 21st, 2012, he had just had a daughter, Ellie May. He and Sarah are doting and devoted parents. He's moving along with his training, and we look forward to a bright future with him. It is our pleasure and good fortune to have him. We salute and thank you Josh Taylor.

Letters to the Editor
Many in nation are on the wrong path Dear Editor, Here’s hoping that everyone had a pleasant enough Christmas and that the New Years brings good things your way. Yes, dear friends, it is now 2014, and we’re still alive, which often puzzles me. As a nation we seem to be bent on a self-destructive path, but most have chosen to ignore it and seem rather content to let whatever will happen simply to happen. Rather a bit fatalistic, I’d say, but, then again, that seems to be us. We’ve lost the ability to think critically and to put safeguards in to place. We live for the moment and throw caution to the wind. We can’t, or won’t save
anything back for a rainy day and we don’t invest responsibly. We want immediate gratification to the extent of overextending ourselves into a bankrupt condition. We are over-indulged, narcissistic, and spiritually lame. We have been literally “convenienced to death” by having too much at our fingertips, we’re never satisfied. We want more and yet we want to do less to get it. In other words, our nation has been spoiled to the brink of economic and spiritual extinction, but, then again, we seem to like it that way. We’ve embraced a god of convenience; a god of sports; a
Obamacare is working Dear Editor, After reading Dr. Wenstrup's column ( if it was a column it was quoting him some) it did have his picture and name at the top. I can see why he gave up doctoring. I don't want to think he would try to deceive anyone. Maybe he just didn't know enough about Medicare Advantage plans. Maybe he isn't on a Medicare Advantage plan. I am, both me and my wife. We have had a few years of Medicare Advantage plans. My experience started in 2002 if my memory is correct. We were with one company and then we found a better deal with another. So we went with the one with the better deal. Then after just one year it made a huge change that
hurt us very much. Then to top things off they lied to us saying that they were not changing. This really upset my wife. She can't stand anyone to lie. Then when we could, we found a better plan. We had to wait till the next fall to find another plan, during the regular enrollment time. And then again this year we started a new plan again. What I am getting at, it did not take Obamacare to have my plan to change. They have done it for years. It is just the way these companies try to make a profit. Now he is right the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) reduces funding by a little more than $200 billion for the Medicare Advantage program. They will do that by

god of commercialism; a god of lust; a god of pleasure; a god of wealth and materialism, and we have forsaken truth and justice and the God of the Bible. But, then again, it appears to fit our depraved condition perfectly. We like how we are, you know, spiritually bankrupt and depraved. So, what, if we’re going to hell! We’re just happy to be on our way somewhere, right? At least, well, that is how it appears to me. And, yet, I wonder what would happen if we woke up in time as a nation and set ourselves on a correct course. What would happen if we saved more and spent less and invested

And another thing if these goody two shoes doctors didn't try to be zillionares overnight, by charging high fees, the Medicare Advantage plans would not drop them. You see it is not the government dropping the doctors. It is the Medicare Advantage plans just doing business. The business of making money.

wisely? What would happen if we indulged ourselves less and sought out a closer relationship with God? What would happen if we fought harder for truth and justice in the world? What would happen if we started restructuring our priorities? Could it be that we could delay our ultimate destruction as a nation? Maybe, just maybe, it could work! But, awe shucks, that’s just a bunch of wishful thinking on the part of an old, fat preacher who has his nose stuck in the Bible. Nobody wants to bother to change that much, do they?

Ohio is disseminating Parents360 Rx Action Toolkits to assist parents and school leaders in hosting discussions locally to support prevention efforts in their communities. 5 Minutes for Life is led by the Ohio Highway Patrol and the Ohio National Guard, in partnership with high schools and the Ohio High School Athletic Association (OHSAA).

Senator Joe Uecker (R–Miami Township) along with Ohio Governor John Kasich and First Lady Karen Kasich announced today the formation of a statewide youth drug prevention effort. START TALKING is a program developed to cease youth drug use through prevention. Research shows that youth are 50 percent less likely to use drugs when parents and adults talk with them about substance use and abuse. “The 14th Senate District has one of the highest amounts of prescription drug abuse in the State of Ohio,” said Uecker. “Although we in the state legislature have created legislation to help resolve this problem, there is still much work to be done. It is important that we continue to work together to help eradicate drug abuse and the best way to do this is to start communicating with our youth on the dangers of drug abuse and the impacts it can have on their future.” In 2011, drug overdoses were the leading cause of accidental deaths in our state, with one Ohioan dying from a drug overdose every five hours. Coordinating with Governor Kasich, numerous schools have already committed to participating in the START TALKING program. The initiative takes the following four-prong approach that interacts with educators, school officials, parents, and students: Know! is a drug prevention and awareness partnership developed by The Drug-Free Action Alliance that targets parents and caregivers of middle school students and empowers them to raise their children substancefree. Its goal is to increase communication between parents and their children about substance abuse. This is achieved through free, twicemonthly emails that offer parent tips to families to help them talk about this subject.

Once again, needy families who live near Stuart and Killen Stations got some much-needed help during the holidays, courtesy of the Christmas Cheer program and employees of the plants, the Dayton Service Building and Local 175 Executive Board. Linda Kirschner, a materials processor at Killen, said employees who sponsor a child agree to buy a toy, a complete outfit (including coat, underwear and shoes) for a child who might otherwise not get anything for Christmas. Over the past seven years, since the program started, employees at the two power plants, along with some employees at the Dayton Service Building, have provided muchneeded Christmas presents and clothing to more than 450 children in Adams, Brown, Scioto and Mason Counties. The first year, the pro-
gram provided gifts and clothing for more than 30 children and has grown each year. Kirschner started the program by adding angels to a Christmas tree in the lobby at Killen, hoping employees would select an angel and sponsor a child from an organization already helping to sponsor children during the holidays. "The second year we had such an overwhelming response," Kirschner said, they decided to expand out to areas where employees lived. In the years since, the program has moved to Ripley, Portsmouth West and Mason County School, where one year they learned there were 500 applications from families of children who needed help. This year, Kirschner said they are sponsoring 93 children - 42 from Killen, 39 from Stuart, 8 from the Dayton Service Building

and 4 from Local 175 Executive Board. The children are from the Manchester School, located between the two plants. Teachers, who see the children daily, suggest who needs some help and give her a list. If there are two children from the same home, Kirschner makes sure each gets the same numbers of gifts. To make up the difference, DPL donates what is still needed or an employee who can't afford to buy the entire list of items for a child donates a single item. Retiree Debbie Leonard, who helped her start the program, comes in to wrap presents, along with Kirschner's son Clint and his fiancée Krista. In the past, other relatives and wives of employees have also helped wrap the gifts. This year the officers of the Manchester Honor Society, including Devon Blythe, Hannah Rideout, Tiffany

THE WONDERFUL NAME The name Jesus is mentioned 981 times in the New Testament. In Matthew it is mentioned 170 times. Interestingly, in the book of Mark it is mentioned 97 times and 97 times exactly in the book of Luke. However, the one that mentions the name of Jesus most is the book of John. We recommend new converts to start reading in John because it is not easy for a new convert to start reading the Bible in Genesis or even Matthew. The book of John names the precious name of Jesus 253 times! The name Christ is mentioned 602 times in the Bible. But you see, He was never named Christ; He was born Christ! He was named Jesus on the eighth day. In the law of Moses a male child must be circumcised on the eighth day and only afterwards could he be named. Luke 1:31 states: “...thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shall call his name JESUS.” Luke 2:21 tells us: “And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called JESUS, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb.” the name Jesus means Saviour. But He has always been Christ from eternity past. John 1:1-3 says: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.” Jesus has always existed, but, He became a human being in order to be our kinsman Redeemer according to the law. Sometimes, as I look around at humanity I wonder just why God would elect to become a human; most of all when I look in the mirror and I think: who am I that God would bleed and die for me! But you know, outside of Jesus, Moses was the greatest prophet there ever was and he was a sheep herder for 40 years! A man told me not long ago that when you shear sheep it really stinks! You can not get the smell out of your clothes. God refers to us as sheep so I wonder what God thinks about us before we are cleaned up by the blood of Christ! In fact, in Isaiah 64:6 He tells us that our righteous-

ness is as filthy rags! Job 15:16 states: “How much more abominable and filthy is man, which drinketh iniquity like water?” And yet he loves us! it is amazing! John 3:16 tells us: “For god so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” God Himself, in the form of man, elected to suffer and die for a bunch of filthy, smelly so called sheep! Think about it. First He left glorious heaven to become human, lived about 33 1/2 years, was crucified, resurrected, and then returned to Heaven to sit on the right hand of His Father. All we have to do is believe in Him and what he did, ask Him to forgive our sins and save our soul (Romans 10:9-13) and we can live eternally with Him in Heaven. He did all the work for us. Now, in Luke we have the genealogy of Jesus all the way back to Adam and Eve by way of Mary’s family. The book of Matthew presents Christ as King. Therefore, in chapter 1 the genealogy begins with Abraham and comes forward establishing Christ’s right to the throne through Joseph’s family. In verse 6 is David the king. Notice the word begat. That is always the connection with the father. The begat goes all the way to verse 16 and then it says: “And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.” Joseph did not begat Jesus. Jesus had no earthly father. He is the only begotten of God the Father, full of grace and truth (John 1:14). Consider the name JESUS. “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” (Acts 4:12)

When you break it down to that level it becomes a win not only for the students, but the community as well. Failure is not an option in Georgetown schools.” Burrows said that zero period was created with the future of the kids in the district in mind. “”Our long term goal is with five years to have every
kid graduate from Georgetown with an Associates Degree or a career tech certificate. With that goal in mind, we have to close any academic gaps early so the kids can hit their freshman and sophomore years with the skill and confidence to tackle college level courses.” Burrows predicted that the one on one time available to struggling students will begin to pay benefits very quickly. “We will definitely see kids that have traditionally not been successful turn things around and, more importantly, build relationships with teachers that they would-

n’t have had a chance to build when we have over 500 kids in the building”, he said. Georgetown Junior-Senior High School Principal Jerry Underwood said the idea for zero period came about when the district began taking a detailed look at the available academic data from students. “We have the ability to see what each students weaknesses are and we needed time to get some one on one intervention to get those students some help”, he said. Underwood said that he understood that asking kids to be in school a little earlier might make the early morning schedule a bit more stressful for parents, but said that the district could offer a solution. “They always have the option of having their child ride the bus, because we offer bus service to get the kids here at 7:10 every day without any problems. It’s the only time in the day where they can get one on one intervention without twenty other kids in the classroom. If you do that thirty minutes a day, five days a week, they can make substantial strides in their academic performance”, Underwood said. Underwood discussed the program with the Georgetown Board of Education on January 8. In addition to hearing from Underwood, the board held their organizational meeting for 2014. Longtime board president Ralph Sininger asked that someone else take on that role, and the board nominated Dr. Jeff Donohoo as President and Dr. Raymond Virost as Vice President. New board member Jon Linkous was also sworn in by board treasurer Eric Toole. The board set the 3rd Wednesday of each month at 6:30 p.m. as the regular meeting time.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 to destroy any of our village’s history, but I just feel like in it’s current condition, bent up, falling over and coming apart, something needs to be done.” Bumbalough continued, “I gave this project a lot of thought and did some research on having it repaired before I brought it to the attention of council. The closest place that might be able to repair the fence to its original condition is out of state, and we would have to deliver it to their factory. This village doesn’t have that kind of money. I was told the restoration could cost between $50,000 and possibly as high as $75,000.” Bumbalough added that a lot of companies wouldn’t even attempt trying to repair the old fence.
“I know a lot of people feel like the old fence is a part of history, but personally, I feel the beautiful cemetery itself, and the people buried there, are the history, not that old fence. Council hasn’t made any decision on what our first step will be regarding the fence and we are up for ideas on what can be done.” But according to Kinnett, the fence really does carry a lot of Sardinia history and it would be wrong to just remove it. “All we want at this point is a little time to look into other options, other than tearing it down,” Kinnett said. “We have had a lot of people coming to us who don’t want the fence torn down. We just need the opportunity to explore our options. We have already talked to area welders and fence builders about the
possibility of repairing the old wrought iron fence, and we’ve also had the offer made by one gentlemen to donate some wrought iron to the project to help with repairs.” Kinnett added that even if the village decides to replace the old fence, the quality would be inferior to the original. “So we’re just asking for more time before council starts removing the fence,” Kinnett added. Bumbalough said that in the end, the decision will be made by members of council. “We certainly want to do what’s best for the village,” Bumbaloug h said. “The fence is in terrible condition and I don’t believe it can be saved, it’s just too old. So, I’m sure discussions will continue on this issue.”
Creature Feature Your pet’s senior years start at the age of seven Did you know your pets’ senior years start at age seven? Frequently asked vet questions: My pet’s always been healthy. Why should I worry now that they’re a little older? Just like people, your cat’s or dog’s health will change as it ages. And because pets age faster than people, major health changes can happen quickly. Especially for senior pets, early detection and treatment can help them live longer, healthier lives. Regular checkups can uncover hidden disease before it is clinically apparent. Many infectious diseases show few signs during initial infection. As disease progresses and signs become visible, it may be harder for senior pets to fight infection. What particular risks does my senior pet face? Similar to people in their “golden years,” senior pets have an increased risk of diabetes, heart and endocrine disease, and cancer. Because these diseases show few signs in early stages, preventive health care and routine blood work are very important. Issues with mobility often affect pets as they become older. Arthritis or stiffness in the joints can be painful and lead to decreased exercise and activity levels, or make simple tasks like climbing stairs more difficult. Pets with mobility issues often face additional risks associated with a medication for pain/inflammation (NSAIDs). Without monitoring, NSAI Ds can affect the kidneys and liver over time. Regular blood work will ensure your pet stays healthy and pain free. Also like aging people, senior pets have • a greater risk of gaining excess weight because of changes in metabolism, exercise levels and more.
DAN MEAKIN CREATURE FEATURE
As a pet’s • weight increases, so does their risk for developing heart and liver disease. What can I do to help? Schedule bi-annual visits for your pet. Regular comprehensive examinations can help your veterinarian detect disease sooner, even if your pet shows no signs of being sick. Watch for changes in your pet’s health. Tell your veterinarian immediately if you notice any changes in behavior, diet, exercise/activity level or mobility. Help your pet live a healthy lifestyle. Nutrition and exercise can help your pet live longer and healthier, so make sure they eat right and
play often. Screening diagnostics play a big role in maintaining health. Regular blood panels allow veterinarians to trend organ function over time, which helps identify weakening or poorly functioning organs. Blood pressures and EKG readings help vets determine overall cardiovascular health. X-Rays allow your veterinarian to evaluate organ size, look for masses and aid in early disease diagnosis. Also, some breeds and mixes are prone to glaucoma, and regular eye exams and pressure checks help save your pet’s eyesight as they age, not to mention help prevent the extreme pain caused by glaucoma.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 the law include the cost of a kennel license going from $60 for 5 or more dogs to $80, plus $1 per tag for any additional dogs. The biggest change made was to who is eligible to purchase a kennel license and under what circumstances. “One change people are facing, which is my biggest concern, is the change in the law that states that kennel license can no longer be purchased for hunting dogs,” Hall said. “Kennel licenses will only be issued for those who breed-for-sale, those who keep “show” dogs and those who have filed with the Ohio Department of Agriculture as a “dog rescue” center.” Hall said that in 2013 the county sold over 500 kennel license, which means there are five or more dogs at that residence. But with the new changes now in place her office has not received any applications for a kennel license by Jan. 8. “These changes by the state are really going to open up a can of worms,” added Hall. “I’m trying to make myself available to residents to explain anything they don’t understand. I also hope that they understand that I didn’t make these changes, they are state mandated. In fact all these changes have created a lot of extra work for me and my staff.” Hall will be available next
week to answer questions and to purchase dog tags at the following locations and dates: • Monday, Jan. 13 in Fayetteville at the library from 5 to 8 p.m.; • Tuesday, Jan. 14 in Mt. Orab at the library from 5 to 8 p.m.; • Thursday, Jan 16 in Aberdeen at the library from 5 to 8 p.m. Residents have three options for purchasing a dog license. They can buy a one-year license for $12, a three-year tag for $36 or a life-time tag for $120. “After Jan. 31, 2014, the one-year tag jumps to $24,” Hall said. “And the threeyear or the life-time tags can only be purchased during December and January. “This year we’ve added on-line tag purchasing for a one-year tag, which will be very convenient for a lot of people.” Other locations throughout the county where dog tags can be purchased include: • Bethel Feed and Supply; • Brown County Animal Shelter in Georgetown; • Crosstown Carryout in Williamsburg; • Fayetteville Hardware and Supply; • Village of Mt. Orab; • Wright’s County Store in Mt. Orab. (Dog licenses at any of these satellite locations will cost an additional 75 cents.) During Hall’s recent visit
to the Sardinia library, more than 60 residents purchased dog tags, but no kennel licenses were purchased. “I was very happy with the number of residents who took advantage of my visit to
the Sardinia library,” Hall said. “I want to help people as much as I can, and I feel this is a good way of doing that. I was disappointed that no one purchased a kennel license. Unfortunately, fami-
lies who own 10 or 20 dogs can no longer call themselves kennels, they just have a lot of dogs. Dogs that must be licenced.” The auditor’s office will sell the one-year tags along
with the new three-year tag and the lifetime tag. If the resident does not receive a renewal application and would like one mailed the them they should call the office at (937) 378-6398.

Classic Holiday Tournament championship game on Dec. 28. “We jumped out early and then tried to work on some things,” Underwood said following the win at Bethel. “Overall, I thought we played well.” Buckets by Bradley, Jake Cropper, and Williams gave the G-Men a 6-0 lead to help set the pace for the Jan. 3 win. Bethel-Tate senior Jake Robinson lit up the Tigers' side of the scoreboard by sinking a turn-around jump shot early on to cut the Georgetown lead to 6-2. With 5:32 to go in the first quarter, it was Williams rising in the paint for a score to restore a six-point Georgetown lead. Seconds later it was an offensive rebound by Williams followed by a steal and assist by Pack that led to another bucket by Williams to expand the Georgetown lead to 12-2. Backed by aggressive full-court defensive pressure to help fuel their transition game, the G-Men were off and running in the first period. Near the midway point in the first frame, the G-Men took a 14-2 lead as Bradley dished a pass to Cropper for an easy score. With 3:30 to go in the first period, Georgetown junior Daniel Broadwell dished an assist to Pack for an easy bucket to lift the GMen to a 14-point advantage. Broadwell fired for a field goal of his own with 1:38 to go in the first quarter, widening the margin to 17 points.

The Lady Rockets captured their ninth win of the season by defeating the Western Brown Lady Broncos to win the 2013 Brown County Classic Holiday Tournament on Dec. 28 and received two first place votes in recent Associated Press polls. “The entire Fayetteville community is very thankful to the Associated Press to give us this recognition,” said Fayetteville-Perry girls basketball coach, Toby Sheets. “There are about
200 Schools in Division IV and we are very happy to be considered in the Top 10 for all of Ohio. Only one other time were we ranked in the top 10 and that was 1996. and we were ranked 10th. The ranking is a reflection of all those players that have gone before in our program as well as the players on this team. Even though it is a poll of opinions, we understand that winning is the only thing that can get you to the top 10 or higher at the end of the season. It is truly appreciated.” The Lady Rockets are led by a very skilled squad of talented seniors. Senior guard Makayla Rosselot is the team's leading scorer with an impressive average of 25 points per game this season with 44.4-percent

The G-Men suffered a 7253 loss to Clark Montessori, moving them to a 6-3 overall record on the season. Playing a skilled crew on the road, even with the loss, was an excellent experience for the G-Men. “That's why we scheduled them this year, because we knew it would be a tough game to win,” Underwood said following the loss to Clark Montessori. “We want to learn to play at that level, and we want to be able to compete in those games. There are at least six games on the schedule that we stand to lose if we don't play very well, and we have to approach them with the right mentality.” The G-Men returned to their home court Jan. 8 to claim a narrow victory over the West Union Dragons, bringing their overall record to 7-3 on the season. The GMen remained unbeaten in Southern Buckeye Athletic/Academic Conference National Division play at 40.

Every year on the last day of school before the holiday break, my father could be seen walking the hallways delivering huge poinsettias to the school secretary and his favorite music teacher (who also happened to be his daughter). Sadly, my poinsettia would not last too far into January. My mother, on the other hand, could nurse them along all winter and would actually plant them outdoors for the summer! OSUE Fact Sheet, Poinsettia Care in the Home (HYG-1248-96 available at ohioline.ous.edu), gives some great tips on caring for your Euphorbia pulcherrima (poinsettia). Water: Examine the soil daily, and when the surface is dry to the touch, water the soil until it runs freely out the drainage hole in the container. If a saucer is used, discard the water that collects in it. Do not leave the plant standing in water. Overly wet soil lacks sufficient air, which results in root injury. A wilted plant may drop its leaves prematurely, so check the soil frequently. Plants exposed to high light and low humidity require more frequent watering. Light: If you obtain a poinsettia for your home, place it near a sunny window where it will have the most available sunlight. A window that faces south, east or west is better than on facing north. Do not let any part of the plant touch the cold windowpane be-
Poinsettias
cause this may injure it. Temperature: To keep the plant in bloom, maintain it at a temperature of 65 to 70 degrees F during the daylight hours and, if possible, move it to a cooler place at night. Because root rot disease is more prevalent at temperatures below 60 degrees F, do not put the poinsettia in a room colder than this. Avoid exposing the plant to hot or cold drafts, which may cause premature leaf drop. I can remember actually apologizing to my leafless poinsettia as I set the pot out in the shed each year. My old farm house was cold and drafty, so that poinsettia’s fate was sealed before I even brought it inside! If you are hoping to get your poinsettia to reflower the following Christmas, this Fact Sheet outlines the year-long schedule that you will need to follow. My garden catalogs are sitting in a basket by my chair. I hope to start planning my vegetable garden and looking for some new varieties to try. Did you

make a diagram of last year’s garden? Did you make a list of needed changes? Spring will be here before we know it! SNOW! SNOW! SNOW! It is always interesting to hear people discuss the weather in the winter. Some people are thrilled to see the white flakes fall (like me) and some people waste away the winter counting the days until spring. We finally had enough snow this past week to venture out on our snowshoes. I really enjoy the snowy scenery and all the different tracks left by the critters. The seed catalogs keep rolling in and the garden magazines are challenging me to try new cultivars. Have you started making your list? Have you been collecting inspirational landscape photos? I always enjoy taking a look at my project notebook this time of the year so I can choose something new. As I gaze out the sunroom windows and look at
