Hart guilty of restraining Jennings BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press Michael Hart has been found guilty of unlawfully restraining Brown County Commissioner Ralph Jennings last July at a United Dairy Farmers in Georgetown. The jury found Hart not guilty of a Felony charge of Intimidation in regard to his behavior toward Jennings. The unlawful restraint charge is a misdemeanor. After the verdict, Judge Alan Corbin ordered a pre-sentencing investigation, but changed his mind when Hart became visibly and vocally upset at the prospect. Corbin said he would sentence Hart at a later date, noting that Hart had already served 63 days in the Brown
County Jail since his arrest. In one of the most dramatic moments of the proceeding, the confrontation in question between Hart and Jennings was relived by the jury on Thursday, thanks to a digital recording made by Hart’s cell phone. Hart said he saw Jennings at the UDF and turned his phone on audio record mode as he approached him. Hart was advised by Montgomery not to play the recording and not to take the witness stand, but Hart apparently overruled his concerns. After playing the recording, Hart spent approximately an hour and a half on the witness stand in his own defense. As the recording began, Hart seemed to remain calm but he quickly grew more agi-
tated as the conversation with Jennings continued. As Hart sat quietly at the defense table, the jury listened to the 15 minute confrontation. Referring to a 2006 incident involving Carrie Miller and Hart’s accusation of her having loose dogs but not being ticketed, Hart asked Jennings repeatedly “When are you going to do your job and enforce the law?” Remaining calm, Jennings continued to insist that he was doing his job as a county commissioner, but that he “didn’t have an answer that would satisfy you, Michael.” Having loose dogs is a minor misdemeanor, meaning that for someone to get a ticket, the issuing officer must witness the offense.
Additionally, there is a six month statute of limitations on issuing such a citation. At one point, Hart told Jennings, “You put yourself above the law!” and repeated his question about when Jennings was going to enforce the dog laws in the county. Jennings then told Hart “I’m going to leave”, at which point Hart responded “No, you are going to answer me.” Jennings replied “Would you step back from my door? I’m ready to leave, Michael.” Hart responded “No, sir.” Hart standing between Jennings and his open car door and refusing to move is central to the charge against him of Unlawful Restraint against Jennings.

Buyer chosen for Brown County Hospital Following an executive session of the Brown County General Hospital Board of Trustees, Brown County Commissioner Ralph Jennings signed a resolution to authorize the board of commissioners to move forward with the sale of the hospital to Southwest Healthcare Services, LLC at the earliest practical date.
The resolution directs directs the hospital Board of Trustees to “enter into such agreements, including but not limited to a letter of intent, confidentiality and exclusivity agreement and definitive Purchase Agreement, and consummate the sale of the hospital to Southwest Healthcare, LLC at the earliest practical date.” Details regarding the bid were not disclosed. The decision came after the
board opened two bids on January 6 for the purchase of the hospital. One bid was from Southwest Healthcare , LLC, a ‘for-profit’ facility and another bid from The Christ Hospital, a non-profit facility in Cincinnati. “The board spent several days studying and reviewing both the bid,” said Jennings, “then during the executive session the decision was made to move forward and enter into an agreement with
Representative Danny Bubp says rough budget year ahead BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press State Representative Danny Bubp (R-West Union) says “double digit” cuts are coming to the budget for Ohio. Bubp said he could not be more specific at this time, but added that the state of Ohio was looking at a budget deficit of eight to ten Billion dollars, approaching twenty percent of the total budget, and that cuts were unavoidable. Bubp was appointed last week by Ohio House Speaker William G. Batchelder (RMedina) to serve as chairman of the House Judiciary and Ethics Committee during the 129th General Assembly. In addition, he will serve on the Veteran’s Affairs and Criminal Justice committees. Bubp said “the people spoke loud and clear on Nov. 2 that they want change in Ohio” and that current spending levels are “putting the

future of all Ohioans in jeopardy and we cannot do that.” Bubp acknowledges that the spending cuts being proposed will affect nearly every person in the state and likens the coming cuts to taking medicine. “The medicine might not taste good, but it’s necessary to nurse the patient, in this case the state budget, back to health.”

who allegedly robbed Merchants Bank in Higginsport on Nov. 2 have been indicted by a Brown County Grand Jury. 34 year old Bobby Long was charged with one count of Aggravated Robbery. 22 year old Ebony Clancy and 36 year old Jennifer Sizemore were each charged with one count of Complicity to Aggravated Robbery. All the charges are first degree felonies. The three were arrested in December following an investigation by the Brown County Sheriff’s Department and other agencies.

Local resident remembers four day march from Selma to Montgomery along side Rev. King By Martha Jacob The Brown County Press With Martin Luther King, Jr. Day about to be celebrated across the nation, one local resident recalls the days he marched along side Reverend King in Selma, Alabama in June 1963. 95 year old Thomas Turner and his wife Betty recalled those days of segregation in a recent interview. Racial tension in America was at an all time high in the early 60’s. A Freedom Ride Coordinating Committee was formed with Rev. King as chairman tp protest segregated busing in Alabama. The idea was to put the sitins on the road, by having pairs of black and white volunteers board interstate buses traveling through the South to test compliance with the new federal law forbidding segregated accommodations in bus stations. Violence erupted as resisting whites overturned and burned
buses and assaulted the Freedom Riders. King himself was arrested, tried and given a suspended sentence. Afterwards. King organized a “Freedom Walk” and announce his plans to march from Selma to Montgomery Alabama to demonstrate the black people’s determination to vote. But Alabama Governor George Wallace refused to permit the march and the 500 persons who gathered to march were beaten by state troopers and ‘possemen.’ “Those were difficult times for everyone in America, both blacks and whites,” Turner remembered. “I came home from work one day and my daughter was watching all the riots on TV, and she was really upset about it. “She was watching police officer turn water hoses on blacks and send dogs into the crowd of people. Finally she looked up at me and said, ‘You got to do something to help CONTINUED ON PAGE 3

School board members of the Eastern Local School District got right down to business during the January 11 organizational meeting. Current president of the board Martin Yockey was voted back in as president for another year with only one ‘no’ vote from board member Kenneth Kelch. Kelch was offered the position of legislative liaison but refused the nomination. The position went to Vern
Creighton who received one ‘no’ vote from Kelch. Future meetings for 2011 will be held the third Tuesday of each month at 7 p.m. with the exception of June’s meeting which is set for June 28. Kevin Kratzer, the new superintendent of Southern Hills Career and Technical Center, met with the board to propose an idea that would help all the schools that have students attending Southern Hills, which includes Eastern Local School District. “One of the things I discovered is that all the schools

with kids attending Southern Hills needs one calendar that all schools follow,” Kratzer began. “I believe the more hands involved in this calendar, the better and more accurate it’s going to be.” Students who attend Southern Hills are also from Fayetteville Perry Local School District, Georgetown Exempted Village School District, Ripley-Union-LewisHuntington School District, Western Brown Local School District and Bright Local School District. “We’re dealing with six different school boards now and we need to come up with one calendar that we all use. We need to have it ready for the next school year.” Kratzer cordially invited the board members to visit Southern for a tour and see the progress it has made. Resident Kenny Hauke spoke at the meeting during recognition of visitors had several questions for the board in regard to the task of hiring a new superintendent, after current superintendent Alan Simmons’ contract ends in July, 2011. “I just had some questions about how your process of hiring a superintendent works,” Hauke began, “Is there a state minimum wage that you pay a superintendent or do you pay what you can pay?” Yockey told Hauke that there was no set amount or minimum. “Do you plan on paying the same benefits to the new
superintendent as you do to the teachers, and will you have to pay his retirement?” Hauke asked. Board member Brian Garrett told Hauke that with the state of cuts on the school which could reach as high as 25 percent, they don’t have any options that they know of until they find out in March what those cuts will include. “I guess what I’m asking,” continued Hauke, “are you planning on putting a lot of cheese on the cake to get a new superintendent in here? How important is the money?” Again Hauke was told that until the board knows exactly how much money has to be cut from the budget, they were moving cautiously with posting the position of superintendent. “We’re not necessarily looking to hire the cheapest superintendent we can,” Yockey said. “When we finally get to the place where we begin interviewing for the job the money issue will be discussed.” Hauke also questioned the possibility of saving the current school instead of having it torn down by finding someone to lease the building. Board members agreed to look into the possibility of finding a party to lease the building, but agreed that is would probably never happen.The board thanked Hauke for his concern and his ideas. Resident Vicki Worley spoke briefly to the board with her concerns about fail-
ing confidence in the board by the community. Worley said she attends nearly every meeting of the board. “What I’m seeing, at least from this side of the table, in the last few months, is a disconnect among the board members, and I don’t know that we’re all doing things in the best interest of the kids,” Worley told the board. “I see some animosity among the board and that concerns me a great deal.” Worley said she didn’t understand why after making so many cuts to the district they turned around and rehired most of them. “This board needs to be a little bit more forthcoming with their reasons for voting the way they do. I understand why you enter into executive session, but when you come out of executive session you need to come out as a group that is united in their decision, and I’m just not seeing that.” Board member Mike Hoskins commented that with five different board members they were not always going to agree on everything. Worley went on to say that the board needs to operate in a more transparent manner and work together as a team. In other business the board approved the following items: •grant the treasurer authority to invest all board funds for the 2011 year; •authorized the treasurer to secure tax advances from Brown County Auditor for 2011 as available; •authorized the treasurer to

Every year on the third Monday of January, Americans across the nation pay tribute to the late Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. on or around his birthday which was Jan. 15. Students in schools prepare for that day weeks in advance, learning why this man is so important to our American history that we have day reserved for his honor.
Rev. King was the spokesman for nonviolent activism in the civil rights movement, which protested racial discrimination in federal and state law. His message was simple, during a march by black Americans on Washington D.C. on Aug. 28, 1963, Rev. King gave a speech, called the “I Have A Dream” speech which would be remembered forever. In his speech he commended the thousands of people
who had supported his message of peace and marched with him that day. He referred to the event as... ‘the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of the nation.” He told the crowd that.. ‘ even 100 years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed, which was intended to free Negro slaves, Negros in America were not free.’ He encouraged blacks to ‘not be guilty of wrongful deeds while striving to gain

However, both backed out at the last minute. “That’s a long 411 mile trip, when you’re alone,” Turner added. “But I was determined to make it Selma and take part in that 4-day march from Selma to Montgomery.” Turner said there were hundreds of people organized for the march which included blacks and whites, hand-in hand. At least 500 persons began the march on March to Montgomery on March 21 and as the march continued more than 10,000 persons followed King, but only 300 were
allowed to make the 4-day march which included Thomas Turner. “It was really something to be a part of,” Turner said with a smile. “We formed a huge line, crossing our arms to create strength and marched for four days. I was fortunate that I was never hit, but many people were hit with clubs as we walked. “It was quite a mixture of people, and must have been a sight to see. I remember sleeping in churches and eating whenever we could.” By the time the Freedom March reached Montgomery, it was joined by over 25,000 people. The group then presented Governor Wallace with a petition insisting on equal rights. Turner then reflected on one of the biggest losses of the civil rights movement...the assassination of King in 1968. “It was a sad day when Reverend King was killed in Memphis, when all he was trying to do was help,” Turner said. “Even though he had
body guards, someone shot him while he was standing on a hotel balcony. “I remember I was at work when I heard it and tried to call home, but all the phone lines were busy.” Turner said he doesn’t regret being part of the Freedom March and said he would do it again. “Our times are better today, but it still has a way to go,” added Turner. “If I could do something today to help America, I’d like to go to Washington D.C. and sit down with all the Democrats and all the Republicans and tell them that the time is here, the time is now, to settle all these differences and do what’s best for all America.” Turner looks forward to Martin Luther King Day and said he is proud that all across the country, streets have been named after King. “Americans must work together, hand-in-hand to make this country all it can be,” Turner said.
equal rights, and not to be guilty of seeking to satisfy their own thirsts for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred.’ He warned against violence. Rev. King told the people than he had a dream of how things could and should be for all Blacks in America. During his famous speech that day King outlined his dreams which included ‘that all men are created equal and should be treated that way; that America would become an oasis of freedom and justice; that his children and all black children would live in a nation where they would not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character; and that the glory of the Lord will be revealed and all flesh will see it together.’ Unfortunately, in the prime of his life, Rev. King was assassinated by a prison escapee in 1968 on the balcony of a hotel. A campaign for a federal holiday in King’s honor began soon after his assassination. Ronald Reagan signed the holiday into law in 1983, and

Girl Scouts meet ‘adopted’ soldier Georgetown Senior Girl Scout Troop 46863 participated in several activities over the holiday season. They volunteered at the Woodlawn Armory for the family Christmas dinner, placed wreaths on veterans' graves in Confidence Cemetery, entertained the American Legion Post 180 with Christmas carols and were honored to meet Marine LCpl Jon-Michael McCormick. LCpl McCormick is a 2008 graduate of North Adams High School and is the son of Mike and Cassandra McCormick of Seaman. He has just recently returned from an eight month deployment to Afghanistan. The scouts learned of LCpl's deployment from his father, who DJ's the dances for the scouts, and decided to 'adopt' him. They sent him care packages with cards, crafts and games. LCpl McCormick is currently stationed in California. While he was home visiting family during Christmas he met with the girls and spoke with them about his time overseas as well as his life in the military. The girls enjoyed learning about his weapons' training, what living conditions were like in Afghanistan and how he spent what little free time he had. However, they also enjoyed discovering that one of his hobbies is playing the guitar. Before leaving, the troop presented LCpl McCormick a photo frame to thank him for his service.

In the US we have a dual legal system On January 4, the 112th Congress convenes for the time. Ohio first Congressman John Boehner becomes the Speaker of the The Republicans House. have a majority in the House and the Senate is nearly deadlocked, but controlled by the Democrats. Obama still resides in the White House. Therefore, to pass any law, the Republicans, Democrats and Obama must agree. In Columbus, the new governor, John Kasich has taken office and he and the Ohio legislature will have to work together to pass any law. In the United States, we have a dual legal system: federal and state. Sometimes they run parallel. Sometimes they are separate. Sometimes they collide. The most famous example of collision in recent memory is Bush v. Gore. Bush lost in the Florida Supreme Court, but the U.S. Supreme Court took the case and he won. Dual system means we have state laws and federal laws and state cases involve state laws and federal cases involve state laws. (There are some exceptions.) Federal law begins with the U.S. Constitution. Congress passes laws which become part of the U.S. Code. These are also called statutes. Also, federal agencies adopt regulations under their authority which is law too. Issues arising from federal law (civil or criminal) are usually addressed first in U.S. District Court. The criminal prosecutors are called U.S. Attorneys. Appeals from District Court go to Circuit Court. There are Eleven Circuits. The Sixth Circuit includes Ohio, Kentucky, Michigan and Tennessee. Appeals from the Circuit Court go to the U.S. Supreme Court. State law begins with each state constitution. The state legislature passes laws which become statutes. State agencies adopt regulations under their authority. Issues arising out of state court can be addressed in small claims, probate court, municipal court and common pleas
ERIC DEETERS court. What Court you are in depends on the issue and the amount of money involved. Appeals go to an Appellate Court and then the State Supreme Court. We are a nation of laws, not men, it was once said. Yet, it is men and women who make these laws. The men and women you choose to all elective offices matter. Big and small. We even have cities and counties passing ordinances which is their own local law. I lay out this brief summary of our legal structure because of its importance in our history and in our future. As a lawyer, I work every day in this system as an advocate for parties who ask for their justice. Juries. Judges. Legislators. Congress. Governors. President. Lawyers. All play their role. The budget? It’s a law. Obamacare? It’s a law. The START treaty with Russia? It’s a law. Immigration? Needs law. Cincinnati’s budget? Law. It goes on and on. Police, FBI, federal marshals, administrative agents, prosecutors. They each play a role in enforcing the law. Our country’s history, from the Declaration of Independence until today, is a history of law. Our future will be one of law. Consider the broad issues relative to the law. When Congress or the Ohio legislative meet do you really want more law? More law means more government. Every law passed creates governmentenactment, enforcement, interpretation.

remind you of the importance of law in our society and implore you to pay attention to your government. The media has a responsibility as the “fourth branch” of government to be vigilant. But, our government requires you to be vigilant on your own. Do not be naive. Your town, county, state and country do not run on automatic pilot. Elections, public office, debate, media, voters, elected officials, all frame the issues and decide our law. The challenge and fun of being a lawyer is being able to represent others in the
“system”. But, the responsibility of our law falls upon everyone, not just the lawyers. Theodore Roosevelt claimed “aggressive fighting for the right is the noblest sport the world affords”. It is. But, it’s a sport which requires all of us, and all of you, to play. The sport is played through law. Plato wrote: “Justice is the greatest good. Injustice is the greatest evil.” It is. The justice or injustice battle plays itself out on countless stages throughout America every day. Let us strive for justice.
What was I thinking? I wonder why it is that our brains don’t keep the same pace as our bodies? Why is it some of us don’t see ourselves getting older, while others accept it gracefully? I see friends from my past from time to time and wonder why they look so old..so wrinkled..so bald..so fat, or short or gray. They look so much different than the way I remember them, and yet I don’t feel like I’ve really changed that much at all. But then I can’t help but wonder if they’re looking at me thinking the same thing I was thinking about them. Are they thinking that I haven’t really changed that much either? Regardless, I’ll turn 63 this year..gulp!..and I know I’ve changed a little in a lot of ways, but there's still that haunting little voice that tells me I can still do the same things I could always do, I just do them a little slower. Many years ago, when I was in my early 40’s my daughters were out in the front yard practicing cheers for their school. My oldest daughter had decided to try out for cheerleading. I watched for several minutes as she tried and tried to turn a successful cart-wheel. “I just can’t do this mom,” she protested again and again. “Of course you can,” I said in that motherly fashion. “You just need to get a little run at it first.” Immediately she asked me if I knew how to turn a cartwheel, to which I responded I was the ‘cartwheel queen’ all through high school. I wasn’t a cheerleader, but I could do it all, cartwheels, back flips, the splits, etc. “I’m never going to be a cheerleader if I can’t turn a cartwheel, mom,” my daughter whined. “Can you show me how to do it?” Well, I believe it was at that very second in my life that I slipped, temporarily into the ‘Twilight Zone.” ‘Sure I could show her how to turn a cartwheel’, I thought to myself. I had turned thousands of them in my lifetime. ‘It’s like riding a bike,’ I thought. You don’t really forget something like that.
by his side. He loves that little dog and that little dog loves him. I’m so glad we got them together. I’m writing this letter to encourage your readers to give careful consideration to the idea of visiting your local A.S.P.C.A., or other local animal shelters, and adopting an animal for themselves or a loved one, who can benefit from the companionship. These shelters are an important asset to any community and they provide a wonderful service to both the animals and the people for whom thay can be a benefit. Rev. Sam Talley
Writer expresses thanks for donations Dear Editor, We received information of the sad news about the closing of Sardinia-Mowrystown Lions Club. It has been a valued part of our communities and will be greatly missed by those with any affiliation. The Administrative Board decided to give remaining funds to charity. Penny Knoche was chosen due to an auto accident and condition which occurred Sept. 17, 2010. Penny was employed at Martin’s Super Value, Sardinia, Oh. The remaining funds were accepted with much gratitude and appreciation. A special thanks to Pete Fiscus, Danny Newman, (Duke) Carl Doss, George Mead, Jimmy Reedy, Lawrence King and the communities who made it possible. Thank you. Penny, Tim and Tammy Knoche
What Do You Think? What are you hoping for in 2011?

However, there were several things about my life that I had forgotten. For example, I had given birth to three children and probably weighed 75 more pounds than my cartwheel days. But, how difficult could it be, to turn one simple cartwheel? I certainly knew how to do it, and felt like I could teach my daughter to do it. So I told everyone to step back and get out of my way. I took a little run, threw my left leg a little forward while I attempted to throw my right leg over my head. Most of what happened next is pretty much a blur. Best I remember, as my wrist hit the ground, and the full weight of my body came down on it, it immediately buckled backwards, made a loud cracking sound and folded up like a lawn-chair. My elbow hit the ground next, then my shoulder. I have no memory of where my legs were at that point, but the last thing I remember with any clarity was my face digging straight into the grass and the sound of chuckling children in the background. I laid there for what seemed like an eternity, half afraid to move. I figured my wrist, my elbow, my shoulder, my back, possibly my neck, my hip and my face were probably broken. “That was real funny mom,” my daughter said, “now do it right!” What was I thinking? Where had the ‘cartwheel queen’ gone? Apparently she had been dethroned. I picked myself up off the ground, nothing seemed to be broken, told my daughter she was on her own, and walked into the house to try and figure out what went wrong. I don’t know who’s idea it was to call old age ‘the golden years’, but I am fairly sure they were in their teens.

Dear Editor, Over the past holiday season, my wife and I visited my family in Virginia. It was a wonderful time with loved ones, many of which are in their twilight years. One of the joys of the visit was a little dog named ‘Cuddles’, which my wife and I gave to my stepfather last Christmas. He had been obtained from a local animal shelter and has never left my stepfather’s side since arriving at his home. This dog has been a blessing, and I believe God led us to him. He was approximately five years old when we got him and very well trained - extremely loving and sweet natured. Every time we talk to my stepfather he always talks about Cuddles and lets us know how impotant that little dog is to him. You see, my stepfather struggles with Alzheimers. Since the arrival of Cuddles, the progression of the Alzheimers has slowed down. My mother is an extremely active eighty four year old who continues to work as a professional musician - she is continually on the go and doing very much what she has always done. My stepfather is going on eighty seven years old and has slowed down considerably - he has ended up staying by himself quite a bit, not being able to continue the same schedule of activity that he had always enjoyed. (He had been a very successful mechanical engineer.) He needed some sort of stimulation and companionship - Cuddles has been just that for him. When he lays down, she is by his side. When he gets up, she is by his side. When he watches TV, she is by his side. When he goes outside, she is by his side. When he eats his dinner, she is

Members of the Village of Sardinia council met in regular session on Monday, Jan. 10 and accomplished a great deal in a short time. Council heard from Kelly Cole, Brown County Economic Development, concerning pending grant money which the village has applied for. “I just wanted to update council on what’s going on with the Neighborhood Revitalization Grant and the Nature Works Grant,” Cole told council. “The Neighborhood Revitalization grant is a housing grant. It’s to help homeowners in Sardinia with home repairs and in some cases complete overhauls of their homes.” Cole told council that the grant should pay for at least seven projects if the village receives it. “The CHIP (Community Housing Improvement Program) grant funds are highly competitive,” Cole said. “It’s always a real nailbiter waiting to hear from them if you’re going to get the funds or not.” Cole went on to explain all the possibilities for use of the funds if and when the village gets them. She said the funds would probably not be able to be used until late 2011 or in spring 2012. Sardinia Mayor Todd Bumbalough said he hoped some of the grant money could be used to build a skate park which he felt would be good for his community. “We should know about the Nature Works grant by the end of this month,” added Cole, “those funds could be used for the skate park, a basketball court, upgrading the electricity, blacktopping and upgrading the children’s play structures.”
In other business at the meeting, Tim Mock, village administrator, reported that he had met with Joshua Jackson with the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency in regard to the village sewer plant. “Well, Joshua was basically pleased with the plant itself and how its operating,” Mock began his report. “But we had some problems when we ordered a much needed part to fix a pump and it took over eight weeks to get that part.” Mock said the EPA representative understood when he explained the situation, but the official also noted three other problems with the plant that had to be corrected as soon as possible or the village would be fined. “First on that list was a problem with manpower coverage of the plant after hours and on week-ends,” Mock said. “When our plant was designed we paid a company to install an automatic dialer. If any component goes bad that dialer would automatically begin calling everybody in rotation until somebody answered. But they never did the work.” Mock said that the company has been paid but it has been two years and nothing has been done. Later in the meeting, council voted to begin a campaign to get the work completed. Village Solicitor Jay Cutrell said he will send the company a letter and insist that the work be done. Mock also discussed a situation where a resident was ordered to stop septage dumping until a study could be done to see if the system can handle the excess. Council also voted to allow Mock to hire a part-time helper in the water-sewer department on an as-needed basis. Mayor Bumbalough reported to council that he recommended hiring Jim Lewis as

police chief on a permanent basis for 38 hours a week. Lewis was hired six months ago on a six month probation period and all council members agreed he had done an outstanding job. Council approved his hiring. Council voted a two percent raise for Tim Mock and approved ordering of more salt for the village. Bumbalough also discussed problems with the recycle bins located on Winchester Street in the village. “It’s out of control and it’s ridiculous,” Bumbalough said. “Someone dumped an old mattress out there and even a piano. People know better than that. Those people need to know that’s against the law and they will receive a fine of $1,000 if we catch them.” Bumbalough and council discussed placing cameras at the site as well as patrolling the area more than usual.
Fire Chief Lee Naylor reported to council that he hoped FEMA funds could be used for the purchase of pumper gear. He stated that fire runs in 2010 were slightly down from 2009. Recently retired Bill North, village public works employee was honored during the meeting for 20 years of loyal service to the village.

Girl Scouts from Russellville troop 44066 and Georgetown troop 46863 placed handmade wreaths on the graves of veterans this past Christmas season. The wreaths were a continuation of troop 46863's Silver Award project. Each year Wreaths Across America honors the nations' veterans by placing donated wreaths in the national cemeteries across the United States including Arlington Cemetery. The Girl Scouts decided to bring this idea local and make own wreaths. The Russellville troop placed their wreaths at Shaw and Linwood cemeteries while the Georgetown troop placed theirs at Confidence Cemetery. It is the hope thru the Silver Award project that this will become a tradition in the county and other troops or organizations will join in.

WORD OF GOD John 1:14: “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, and glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.” This is exactly what Matthew 1:23 meant when it said: “Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.” In John 1:14 notice that the word “Word” is capitalized. It is another name for the Son of God. It confirms that in Revelation 19:11-13 when it talks about the second coming of Christ: “And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.” Back in John 1:13 it tells us: “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.” That is that Jesus Christ was with the Father from eternity past. The Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, were all present at the creation. Genesis 1:2 states: “...And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.: Then in verse 26 it tells us; “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness...”. That is why John 1:2 tells us that the Word was in the beginning with God and that nothing was made without him. It was a mystery in the Old Testament and it is still a mystery to some today. However, God is in three persons and the person of the Son is called The Word of God. “And the Word was made flesh...”. It is humbling to me to think that God would leave heavens’ glory and become a helpless infant! He was God incarnate from his birth. God had made from Mary’s body a body for His Son. God only made three people. He made man out of the dust of the ground. He made the woman out of the body of the man. And he made His Son from the body of a woman. Galatians 4:4-5 states: “But when the fullness of
DR. CHARLES SMITH MT. ORAB BIBLE BAPTIST CHURCH www.bbcmtorab.com the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.” Both Adam and Eve were made sinless. But that sinless state did not last. They sinned when they disobeyed God. When we are born, we are born with sin. Sin is passed down from the father. Therefore we are sinners from birth. Jesus has no human father. Sin was not passed down to Him and He never sinned. He was born Holy; He lived Holy God incarnate; and He died Holy. He is Holy God in heaven seated on the right hand of the Father. He will always and ever be Holy and sinless! That is the importance of the virgin birth. Ladies and gentlemen, the importance of the virgin birth is so essential that without it there is no such thing as Christianity, the church, or even the Bible as we know it. Our whole doctrine is based on the virgin birth of Christ. Without it we have nothing. The world assumes that Jesus was just a man, sinful just like the rest of us. Or else they believe that He did not exist at all; yet they will use His name in vain. Have you ever wondered about that? Have you ever heard them swear by just the average Joes name? Well, if they are right we Christians are all wasting our time and I have wasted most of my life. But if I am right, and I am, they better take notice! The Bible is all together right and I am only right so much as I follow the Book! So are you. The world would be wise if they also would follow the Bible because one day they will have to give an account to God. Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of the Father. He is called The Word of God; He is called Saviour, Redeemer, LORD, and KING!

Hart guilty of restraining Jennings
CMYK
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 The recording ends when former Georgetown police officer Mike Bullis walks up and begins talking to Hart. Following the recording, Hart sobbed briefly on the witness stand before saying “What you and the jury need to understand is that the Brown County Prosecutor and the Dog Wardens have been intentionally trying to destroy my business for five years.” Hart continued to speak in an upset manner as questioning from Montgomery began. Hart wavered from staying on topic on the stand to speaking his mind. At one point, he said “They’re trying to destroy me because I know the truth. They’re destroying my family and exhausting my resources and all I did was try to get the law enforced.” Hart also alleged that his life had been threatened. Hart claims that former and current Brown County officials and employees have either ignored or ridiculed him since 2004. “They’ve terrorized my family and they’ve terrorized me”, he said on the witness stand. Hart became confrontational when cross-examined by little, having to be warned by Corbin several times to answer the questions asked by Little and not ask questions of her in return or go off-topic. As Little began her questioning, she said to Hart “Do you need a minute?” He replied in a defiant tone “Are you ready for the truth?” Little then asked “Do you feel it’s OK to break the law if your rights are violated? Hart replied “I did not think in my mind that I was breaking the law.” Little then asked Hart if anyone had ever threatened his life in his presence. Hart replied that he had not. Hart then recounted the
numerous times he had appeared before the county commissioners and other county officials trying to call attention to enforcement of dog laws within Brown County. “Instead of help, I got ridicule”, he said. As Hart left the stand, he told the jury “I’m sorry I cried, but I’m fighting for my life.” Other witnesses were called by both sides in the two day trial. Little called Jennings to testify about the confrontation and also called Brown County Sheriff’s Office Lieutenant John Fetters, the deputy who arrested Hart. Both recounted their recollection of the event. Montgomery called Hart’s mother, Lucille, as well as former Brown County Prosecuting Attorney Investigator Dennis Varnau and former Assistant Dog Warden David Kilgore, who testified that two Dog Wardens he worked under in
2005 told him to “just leave it alone” when he talked about addressing the issues complained about by Hart. During her opening statement, Little said “This is not a case about venting or free speech, it is about Michael Hart crossing the line into criminal conduct.”

The Adams-Brown Creating Healthy Communities Program (ABCHCP) is reaching out to you with information for you or a family member about the Ohio Tobacco QUIT LINE and the benefits of quitting the smoking habit. The Ohio Tobacco QUIT LINE is regrettably one of our best kept secrets. Why do we have an Ohio Tobacco QUIT LINE? Check out Ohio smoking facts as listed on the www.healthyohioprogram.or g website. Approximately 2 million (20.3 percent) of Ohio adults 18 and older currently smoke – 21.2 percent of men and 19.5 percent of women. The smoking rate among Ohio African-Americans is 22.0 percent, and among whites the rate is 20.1 percent. State data in Ohio have 11.6 percent of Ohio middle school students and 28.7 percent of Ohio high school students as current users of at least one form of tobacco product. A 2006 Ohio Adult Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance Survey identified 24.2 percent of Brown County adult residents as cigarette smokers. 29.5 percent of Brown County mothers reported smoking during their pregnancy. The benefits of quitting are many. Healthier lungs! Better breathing! Beating a habit! These three are huge accomplishments in themselves. Want more? There is great personal satisfaction gained when you successfully quit smoking. You will have more spending money. Two-pack-a-day smokers save up to $3,000 a year on the cost of cigarettes alone. Add in the cost of ashtrays, lighters, ruined clothing and other items you’ve burned holes in along the way. Foods will taste better. Your house, clothes and car

Since 1979 Dr. Steve Hale has been recognized as one of Southern Baptist's most effective evangelists. Dr. Hale graduated from Murray State University with a degree in journalism and completed his Master's of Divinity at Southwestern Theological Seminary. After spending 13 years in Evansville, Indiana as the state's only resident Southern Baptist evangelist, Dr. Johnny Hunt invited Steve to relocate and base his ministry out of the dynamic First Baptist Church of Woodstock, Georgia. Throughout his ministry, Dr. Hale has been invited to preach on the program of state evangelism conferences and the Southern Baptist Pastor's Conference. He was also honored to preach Southwestern Seminary's campus revival. President Dr. Ken Hemphill said, "God has gifted Steve with penetrating insight into the needs of the church and exceptional preaching ability. We experienced a marvelous manifestation of God's power when Steve preached our seminary revival." In 2007, Dr. Hale wrote and published his first book, Truth Decay, which has received outstanding reviews. Having served as national president for the Conference of Southern Baptist Evangelists, Dr. Hale's deep concern is for reaching a culture in which 75% of adults deny the existence of absolute truth and for seeing the Church in America restored to its first love, Jesus Christ.

Bob Hardyman has already signed Neil McCoy for the 2011 Brown County Fair. He is in the process of signing other entertainment like a top name magician. I’m looking forward to the second annual Brown County Talent Show - we will have 2 days of great local talent. Cheer leading competition and horse shows, the parade and great food will be there for you at the Brown County Fair. Bob Neal and Kyle Cahall have set July 8 and 9 as the dates for our N.T.P.A. Summer Tractor Pull. Top Class Pullers from all over the U.S. will be there to entertain you. Last year Bob introduced me to the fun and excitement of tractor pulls and I’m looking forward to seeing you there. Our January meeting was held on the 11th because of us being at the Convention. We were

you’ll want to visit more frequently as your dog ages past seven years of age. One particularly wise and simple precaution is to take a look at pertinent blood values like kidney and thyroid levels. Normal results are great news, meaning a wide range of treatments and medications are available for your dog if needed. Abnormal results are good in a way, too, because they guide your veterinarian in making appropriate treatment choices for your dog’s individual situation. X-rays, urine checks and other tests can bring huge benefits too. When you and your veterinarian know what’s going on in the dog’s body, you can adjust things that often make a world of difference in how the dog feels and behaves. The veterinarian’s role is to make the services available, and your role is to make decisions about what is best for your dog. Doing this well requires good communication so you’ll understand the pros

and cons of the options.Changes with AgeSome inherited medical problems take their greatest tolls as dogs reach the senior years, especially if they have not been previously treated. Some common ones are: 1. Hip dysplasia that may not have bothered the dog noticeably in younger years now may bring some bad days. Depending on the dog’s age and other factors, medication will likely help and surgery may be an option. You can restructure the dog’s environment and daily routine to eliminate the need to walk on slick floors, jump up to vehicles or furniture, or climb any substantial number of steps. 2. Other orthopedic problems due to orthopedic defects, injuries or osteoarthritis may require similar measures to those needed for hip dysplasia. Work closely with your veterinarian to learn and stay current on just what movements are healthy for your dog and what movements are not. 3. Hypothyroidism undetected in younger years can cause serious problems in the geriatric dog. When in doubt, this is one blood test you want. Thyroid medication is a safe treatment with extremely gratifying benefits for those dogs who need it. 4. Senior dogs are the most prone dogs to cancers, so have any lumps or other symptoms checked promptly Many cancers can be cured if caught early and in most cases you can at least have some good time with the dog to say a loving good-bye. Sometimes treatment can provide a normal lifespan or nearly so. Usually there are ways to relieve pain and other symptoms at least for awhile Normal Aging Old age is not a disease (cliché from vet school), and any change needs to be checked. Most things can be helped, at least to the extent of making the dog more comfortable and sometimes a great deal more than that. Some things can be completely cured. Some dogs get cognitive dysfunction, evidenced by mental confusion. This could be compared to changes that happen in some humans. In dogs as in people, it doesn’t happen to all of them. For those who do experience it, medication can help. Some degree of change in housetraining is normal with aging, too, for a variety of reasons. The dog with cognitive dysfunction may get confused about housetraining. Medication may help. The dog with orthopedic problems may find the elimination posture painful and put it off until control is lost and the dog has an accident. It may also be too painful for the dog to make the trip outside. Medication often helps these dogs. You may need to modify how the dog gets to the elimination area to make it less painful (or ideally not painful at all). Changes in the kidneys, liver, and other organs as well as medications needed by the dog can shorten the length of time the dog can hold bowels and bladder. Never blame a
senior dog for housetraining accidents. N e v e r expect that because a dog could hold it a certain number of hours in past years, the dog can do it for life. People change with age in these same ways. Senior dogs need and deserve extra care for their elimination needs. The necessary adjustments may be simple once the problem is identified. Coping SkillsSenior dogs can keep learning, and they love to learn! Many of them are the smartest dogs on earth, Teach your senior dog signals if the dog’s vision is still good. This will serve as a back-up if hearing fails, which it often does. Signals are fun for dogs and are a more natural language for them than words. Hearing loss can be moderate or profound. Grooming will help your dog cope with loss of vision as well as hearing. Handling your dog gently and thoroughly every day will give you a language of touch together. Your touch will help guide your dog. Also during these daily sessions you check your dog for any body changes, keep skin and coat in top health, and keep your relationship with your dog close and loving. Grooming done every day won’t hurt, because the dog won’t have tangles. Start this as early in your dog’s life as possible. Teach your senior dog composure, with Stay and Settle exercises (Downs without Sits— Sits can hurt) and training that gives the dog safer targets for human affection than jumping up. It’s quite simple to teach a dog to go to
people’s knees for petting, by putting your hands at your knees when you call your dog, and instructing everyone else who pets the dog to do the same. If your dog needs help getting up or walking now and then, there are various devices available. A simple one when only moderate help is needed is a padded nylon chest harness. This must be a nonrestrictive harness, NOT a harness designed to prevent a dog from pulling on leash. Work closely with your veterinarian when your dog is on a special diet for a medical condition. Your veterinarian needs to know if the dog won’t eat the food or has other problems with it. The dog’s weight needs to be checked and regularly noted in a medical log. Every single bite that goes into your dog’s mouth is part of the dog’s “diet,” so be sure not to ruin the benefits of a special diet with off-plan dog treats or people food. Saying Good-Bye There is no good day to lose a good dog, but time to say a loving good-bye is a blessing. Try to make the decision the dog would want, if the dog could know what you know. That leads to the best decisions in these matters. Think carefully about the timing of a new dog. Ending your senior dog’s life happily is top priority. Some older dogs will enjoy the company of a dog a few years younger or a pup, while others would hate it. You don’t want the care of the senior to keep you from doing a good job of training the newbie, or the training of the newbie to keep you from giving the senior the good care so richly
&
deserved. If at all possible, try to avoid getting your dogs too close together in age. Losing them close together is even harder on you. Be kind to yourself when you lose your senior dog, and seek the company of people who understand this kind of loss. At All creatures, January is senior pet month and February is pet dental month. We celebrate these events at All Creatures with 2 special offers which will save you money on your pet’s dental and preventative health care. We have some great preventative care packages geared towards geriatric dogs and cats to screen for problems and prevent medical issues this month. Our dental packages range from$ 99-149 and our geriatric care package is $199. Both packages are discounted to save you money on providing the best care for your four legged family member. Our geriatric package includes an office call examination, X-rays of chest and abdomen, an Ekg screening, and a complete blood panel (including testing all liver and kidney enzymes, thyroid, complete blood count, and urinalysis) Most of all cherish your dog’s senior years. They pass too quickly, and they are wonderful times. Senior dogs are the best. It’s the time in a dog’s life when the love ripens, the intelligence blossoms, and you have the companionship of a wonderful friend. Make every day count.

Georgetown Baptist Church welcomes Evangelist Steve Hale Jan. 16-19 The congregation of the Georgetown Baptist Church and Pastor Cliff Myers are excited to announce a ‘Winning for Christ Crusade’ with Evangelist Steve Hale beginning on Sunday, Jan. 16 through Wednesday, Jan. 19, 2011. Sunday morning service will begin at 11 a.m. and each evening service will begin at 7 p.m. Steve comes to Georgetown with ‘A Timeless Message for Times Like These...Giving You Future Hope.’ From the back roads of rural America to the nation's concrete metropolitan jungles, since 1979 Dr. Steve Hale has been recognized as one of Southern Baptist's most effective evangelists. Growing up in western
Kentucky, Dr. Hale graduated from Murray State University with a degree in journalism and completed his Master's of Divinity at Southwestern Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas. After spending 13 years in Evansville, Indiana as the state's only resident Southern Baptist evangelist, Dr. Johnny Hunt invited Steve to re-locate and base his ministry out of the dynamic First Baptist Church of Woodstock, Georgia. Throughout his ministry, Dr. Hale has been invited to preach on the program of state evangelism conferences and the Southern Baptist Pastor's Conference. He was also honored to preach Southwestern
Seminary's campus revival. Being the world's largest theological institution, then president Dr. Ken Hemphill said, "God has gifted Steve with penetrating insight into the needs of the church and exceptional preaching ability. We experienced a marvelous manifestation of God's power when Steve preached our seminary revival." In 2007, Dr. Hale wrote and published his first book, Truth Decay, which has received outstanding reviews. Having served as national president for the Conference of Southern Baptist Evangelists, Dr. Hale's deep concern is for reaching a culture in which 75 percent of adults deny the existence of absolute truth and for
