Tincher murder trial begins

BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press The murder trial of Dallas Tincher is underway.

Jury selection began at 9 a..m. on Monday, Dec. 27,and was completed by 1:30 p.m.

Nine women and three men will decide Tincher’s guilt or innocence.

Two women and one man were picked as alternate jurors.

After receiving instructions not to discuss the case with each other or any friends or family members,

the jurors were dismissed for the day.

Following the dismissal of the jury, Tincher attorney Gary Rosenhoffer said that the defense was willing to stipulate to the fact that Carpenter was murdered and that they objected to the admission of photographs of Carpenter’s body and of the crime scene.

“Those can only serve to the jury”, inflame Rosenhoffer told visiting Judge Thomas Nurre.

Nurre said that the state was not bound by the stipulation of the defense and

ruled in favor of Prosecuting Attorney Jessica Little.

This means that Little can introduce the photographs as well as testimony from medical experts regarding Carpenter’s death.

The jury returned Tuesday morning for a tour of the crime scene off Stringtown Road in Aberdeen where Carpenter was shot, allegedly by Joseph Hensley at Tincher’s direction.

The jurors were taken to other locations involved in the crime and investigation as well.

At press time, opening

arguments were scheduled to begin on Wednesday.

The first witnesses in the trial would be called after opening arguments are complete.

Hensley and his girlfriend, Sarah Clemens, are both listed as possible witnesses in the Tincher trial.

If Hensley testifies, it will fulfill his part of a plea bargain discussed with Little that will lead to a sentence of 15 years to life in prison.

Clemens is also expected to testify in exchange for a lighter sentence for her involvement in the case.

Rick Eagan sworn in for county commission

BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press Newly elected Brown County Commissioner Rick Eagan was sworn into office on Sunday, Dec. 26.

The oath was administered by 2nd District Congressional Representative Jean Schmidt.

About 40 people witnessed the ceremony, including members of Eagan’s family, Common Pleas Judge Scott Gusweiler and State Representative Danny Bubp.

For many at the ceremony the swearing in represented achieving a goal that Eagan said began four years ago, but was nearly derailed by Eagan’s

horrific accident in November of 2009.

Eagan suffered severe injuries, including an eventual leg amputation below the knee and was intensive care for months after being struck by a car while he was outside his vehicle after hitting a deer.

Eagan drew a sympathetic laugh from the crowd as the swearing in began, saying “I can’t raise my right hand because it’s full of metal”.

He then went on to repeat the oath of office.

After the swearing in, Eagan told those assembled “Thank you for coming and thank you for your support, I couldn’t have done it without you.”

He added later that “I feel very special to have the friends and family that I have.”

Others at the ceremony echoed the theme of recovery over adversity.

A visibly emotional Margaret Eagan, Rick’s wife, said “It’s impossible to put into words” when asked to describe how she felt.

“God is on our side and I always knew he could do it”, she added.

Schmidt echoed those sentiments in remarks to the crowd.

“Nobody has fought harder than Rick to be here today”, she said.

2010 was a big year for news in Brown County. Here is a look back at the top ten stories of the year.

1. Dallas Tincher and Joseph Hensley murder cases.

This story is still in the news as Tincher’s trial is currently underway. Tincher is charged with hiring Hensley to kill John Carpenter of Aberdeen for 900 dollars and a four wheeler.

The twists and turns of the case have included a fight over the testimony of an elderly witness, both defendants facing the death penalty and later having it dropped, and a plea deal for Hensley that included some controversial conditions for his testimony against Tincher.

The latest twist was Brown County Prosecutor Jessica Little filing a motion before the Ohio Supreme Count to have Common Pleas Judge Scott Gusweiler removed from the case for alleged bias against the prosecution.

Gusweiler filed a response

simultaneously denying the bias and voluntarily withdrawing from the case.

Hensley is expected to testify against Tincher in exchange for a plea deal. If he does not testify, his trial is set for next March.

2. An attacker attempts to kill two Mt. Orab Police Officers.

On the morning of Jan. 3,

2010, 61 year old George Ruby shot Mt. Orab Police Officer Justin Conley in the back as he left the police station about 4 a.m..

Conley was saved by the bullet resistant vest he was wearing.

Conley ran for cover and the attack set off a gun battle between Ruby, Conley and Mt. CONTINUED ON PAGE 9

RULH board questions decision to accept ‘Race to the Top’ grant money

BY Martha Jacob The Brown County Press The Ripley-Union-LewisHuntington Local School District Board of Education spent a lot of time discussing its decision to apply for ‘Race to the Top’ grant funds during its Dec. 21 meeting.

Superintendent Charles Birkholtz told the board that he

still had a lot of questions about strings that may be attached to the funds that keep showing up.

“There are things about this 4-year, $204,000 ‘Race to the Top’ grant that I didn’t realize at the time when we applied for it,” Birkholtz said.

“One of the major things I’ve been trying to figure out are all these new requirements for our district. It’s always interesting

when you’re dealing with the federal government. They sort of drop things on you in bits and pieces.”

Birkholtz said he is especially concerned over the labor intensive teacher and principal evaluations, required every year of the program.

Margery Paeltz was the guest of honor at a recent send off to say goodbye after serving the county for the past four years.

“It has been my privilege to serve Brown County these last four years,” Paeltz said. “I remember when I first began my term, in 2007, I did a lot of listening and felt like I had a lot to learn.

“But one thing I am very proud of is when we saw that revenues were not really going up, we planned for the future and were able to put back over $720,000 which we put in the capital improvement fund.”

“We were able to leave those funds this year when we really needed them and they had climbed to over $1.2 million.

We were able to help Brown County General Hospital as well as balance the budget.”

Paeltz said that throughout her term she and her fellow commissioners have had to make many tough decisions, CONTINUED ON PAGE 9

Sardinia Village Council ended the 2010 year on a high note Dec. 27 as it passed a temporary budget for the next year.

Sardinia Mayor Todd Bumbalough told council that he, along with village administrator Tim Mock and fiscal officer Karen Miller had worked many hours on the temporary budget and asked council to review the numbers.

Juanita Councilwoman Watson went through the proposed budget item by item and offered suggestions to assure approval of the budget.

Watson, a former Sardinia Mayor and village clerk as well as council member brought a great deal of financial knowledge to the table according to Miller.

“Juanita knows this business well,” Miller said. “She knows how to balance the budget and she can answer any financial questions.

She’s always the first person I ask for help. We are fortunate to have her on council.”

Following a lengthy discussion by council, with a few small revisions the temporary budget was passed unanimously.

In other business Mayor Bumbalough talked about all the progress the village had made in the past year which included: • tearing down four old residences using grant funds; • receiving a CHOP grant; • improvements to the cemetery issue which could

Councilwoman Juanita Watson shared her years of experience in financial matters during the Sardinia Council meeting Dec. 27.

make it self-sustaining; • new sidewalk to the library; • reorganization of rates for residents; • better police coverage; • safety equipment bought for village employees; • new businesses in the community.

“It’s been a good year for the Village of Sardinia, after its rough beginning,” Mayor Bumbalough told council, “I’m looking forward to 2011 and we’ve got a lot of plans for the village.

We hope to continue our efforts to extend our sewer system out to even more customers and we’ve got more new businesses interested in opening up in the village.”

Bumbalough went on to discuss the cemetery which is currently considered selfsustaining.

“Now that we are handling the funerals, things are going very well and we don’t have to rely on any outside help,”

the mayor said. “We’ll know for sure by the end of the year, but it’s looking real good. And if we find it isn’t self-sustaining, then we’ll take another look at it and make it that way.”

Administrator Village Mock reported to council that long-time employee Bill Norris had retired and asked the board to approve Mike Bullis as his replacement.

Bullis would be paid a salary of $9.25 per hour for a 40 hour week.

“We’re sorry to see Bill go,” Mock said, “but Mike has been working for us quite a while and will do a great job. Bill said he would do some work for us if we needed him.”

Mock described Bullis as a hard worker and someone who instinctively knows what needs to be done.

Also during the meeting there was a brief discussion over plans to tear down an old vacant building in Sardinia. An old hotel located at the intersection of Winchester Street and Main Street across from the post office is scheduled to be brought down.

“We will find out some time in February if we can get more grant funds to tear the old hotel down,” Bumbalough explained. “We are all excited about the possibility of building a new park at that location as well as a skate park.”

The mayor said the village has applied for a special Nature Works Grant which it is qualified to receive.

Several council members Mayor congratulated

This old hotel in the Village of Sardinia is set to be torn down making room for a new park.

Bumbalough on the great job he has done since taking office earlier this year.

Councilman Greg Cassidy was voted in as vice mayor for 20011.

“We have a lot to look forto in 2011,” ward Bumbalough stated.

104,100 pounds of venison donated so far during deer hunting season Venison donations to be taken though Feb. 6, 2011 Ohio deer hunters have donated more than 104,100 pounds of venison to local food banks so far this deer season, according to Farmers and Hunters Feeding the Hungry (FHFH) and the Ohio Natural of Department Resources (ODNR), Division of Wildlife.

“I am happy to see this program continue to grow each year. Ohio hunters once again have shown their generosity so Ohio’s food pantries will receive the nutritious red meat they so desperately need,” said David M. Graham, chief of the Division of Wildlife.

The 104,100 pounds equals approximately 416,400 meals for needy Ohioans. To date, 2,082 deer have been donated with plenty of deer hunting opportunity left in the 2010-

11 season. Last year at this time, 1,910 deer had been donated representing 95,500 pounds of venison.

Last year FHFH collected 116,750 pounds of venison from 2,336 deer through the entire season, which ran from September 2009 to February 7, 2010. Ohio county chapters with the highest numbers of deer donations so far are: Licking-208; Muskingum, Morgan and Perry-189; Coshocton, Tuscarawas, and Knox-160; Athens, Gallia, Hocking, Meigs, Vinton and and Washington-137; Franklin-121.

“We are thrilled that the partnership between FHFH and ODNR has resulted in greater numbers of donated deer – and meals provided – across Ohio again this year.

With high unemployment in many areas fueling an even greater need for nutritious food items at food banks and feeding ministries, this growth could not have come at a better time, ” according to Josh Wilson, FHFH national operations director.

Hunters still have a weekend of deer-gun hunting, December 18-19, and eight weeks of archery hunting in season Archery Ohio. remains open until February 6. The statewide muzzleloader deer-hunting season will be held, January 8 – 11, 2011.

The Division of Wildlife collaborated with Farmers and Hunters Feeding the Hungry in an effort to assist with the processing costs associated with donating venison to a food bank. So far, a $100,000 subsidy grant

was provided in two $50,000 allotments that are to be matched with funds generated or collected by FHFH. The division subsidized this year's FHFH operation as an additional deer management tool, helping wildlife managers encourage hunters to kill more does.

Venison that is donated to be must banks food processed by a federal, state or locally inspected and insured meat processor that is participating with FHFH. Hunters wishing to donate their deer to a food bank are not required to pay for the processing of the venison as long as the program has funds available to cover the cost. There are currently 71 participating meat processors across the state. A list is provided at www.fhfh.org.

Currently there are 31 local chapters across the state with a need for more. Anyone interested in becoming a local program coordinator or a participating meat processor should visit the "Local at page FHFH" www.fhfh.org. The Web page includes a current list of coordinators, program names and the counties they serve.

Pets of the Week...from the Brown County Animal Shelter CMYK

In the past week the Brown County Animal Shelter has found homes for or rescue centers for more than 20 dogs, according to Dog Warden Andrew Dunn.

“It’s been a great end of the year for the shelter,” Dunn said. “The community has really opened their hearts with all the donations and contributions the shelter has received.”

“The shelter can not operate at the level that we do without these donations”. he added.

Dunn said the response to the the shelters needs has filled the cabinets with cleaning supplies, leashes and collars and even a new washing machine.

Dunn said that one donated item the shelter cannot accept is dog food.

“Although we appreciate the dog food the community donates, “Dunn added, “We only use Purina dog and puppy chow for our dogs.

It can be very hard on a dog’s digestive system when their food is changed. We keep our dogs in a very controlled diet.”

Dunn said he picked up two black labs from a Brown County residence, which had been tied up with a chokechain collar and had serious neck injuries.

“A neighbor called me about the dogs,” Dunn said.

“I took both of them to a veterinarian for immediate treatment. No one in the area knew who the dogs belonged to.

It amazes me how many people believe that black labs are a mean breed. They are really a very friendly breed.”

Dunn is planning a special “Black Friday” event some time in January where people

The man fled on foot away from Gregory and a foot chase began.

It ended with Gregory catching the man in front of Butterbee’s on North Main Street.

He was identified as 30 year old William Graves, II. During a search of Graves following his arrest, Gregory found numerous items taken from the residence where the suspicious person was reported to 911.

Gregory was charged with Burglary, Theft, Possession of Illegal Drugs and Resisting Arrest.

His arrest also led to the closing of two additional burglaries in Mt. Orab after further investigation.

Mt. Orab Police Chief

Bryan Mount would like to remind everyone to lock the doors of their cars and homes and take other home security precautions.

Mount asks that anyone who sees anyone or anything suspicious to please call 937-378-4155.

“We want to know if someone suspicious is in your neighborhood. A person going door to door in the Village of Mt. Orab must have a visitors permit.

Saying ‘Thank you’ for 2010 contributions

B R O A D S H E E T E V E N

Governor responds to Senate rejection of appointees Ohio Governor Ted Strickland today responded to the Ohio Senate’s unprecedented action to block 78 of his appointments to Ohio boards and commissions.

“I am extremely dismayed and saddened to see so many experienced, honorable Ohioans lose the opportunity to serve their state today as a result of blapartisan politics,” tant, Strickland said. “The vast majority of these appointees were to be volunteers who simply wanted to serve the people of Ohio. And it’s troubling that about 25 percent of the rejected appointees are members of our minority communities.

“This is an unprincipled and irresponsible action by the Senate that undermines the institutional integrity of a body steeped in tradition, and provides a real reason for people to be reluctant to serve in the public sector. Governor-elect Kasich could have stepped in if he did not want to start his administra-

TED STRICKLAND tion in this way – with disrespect for Ohio history and tradition.

Put simply, today’s action was a raw power grab wrapped in the patina of principle.”

Cloaked in the disingenuous rationale by the Ohio Senate that Governor-elect John Kasich needed the ability to make his own appointments to critical policy positions, among those rejected were appointees to the Ohio Private Investigation and Security Services Commission, the Ohio Thoroughbred Race Fund Advisory Council and the Ohio Advisory Council for the Aging. Also among the supposedly principled rejections was the appointment of the state architect to the Cultural Facilities

Commission – a position the state architect is statutorily required to hold.

Strickland expressed greatest concern with the rejection of three appointees – two Democrats and one Republican – to the Ohio Ethics Commission, leaving the Commission without a quorum just as it is navigating the appointment of a new executive director for the first time in 17 years.

“The Ohio Ethics Commission should include watchdogs, not friends,” Strickland said.

Upon the Senate’s vote today, 78 boards and commissions positions were left vacant.

According to the Ohio Constitution, the Governor is charged with the responsibility to appoint different individuals to these now-vacant positions. He is making 14 new appointments today.

“Today I am exercising my

Constitutional responsibility by appointing well-qualified individuals to several of the positions in which appointees were rejected earlier today,” Strickland said.

The Governor announced the following appointments: Environmental Review and Appeals Commission, Sandra Harwood State Board of Education Thomas Luvison, Lynda Mobley, Joseph Walter, Patricia Bruns , Rich Javorek State Lottery Commission, John Climaco, Rhine McLin, Robert Davis University of Cincinnati Board of Trustees, Timothy Burke University of Akron Board of Trustees, Timothy Gorbach Shawnee State University Board of Trustees, J. Pari Sabety State Employment Relations Board, Kimberly Zurz Ohio Exposition Commission, Robert Boggs

2010 flew by pretty quickly, didn’t it?

It sure was a big year for news in Brown County.

That thought struck me as I was preparing the list for the top ten stories of 2010.

Over half of them popped into my head right away without my having to look through back issues.

It’s hard to forget things like police officers fighting for their lives in a gun battle or two high profile murder cases.

Government at every level had to cut back on spending it seemed, with more cuts possibly looming on the horizon as the state looks to fill a multi-billion dollar shortfall.

If you disagree with my picks for the top ten stories, write me and let me know at bcpress@frognet.net.

I’d love to hear what you thought were some of the biggest stories of the year or if you disagree with my choices.

I would like to thank my staff for their hard work in putting out the Press every week.

We’ve broken quite a few important stories over the past year and will work hard to do the same in 2011.

Ritchie Butler is our Sports Editor and he does a very good job keeping track of what’s happening in the county. He’s also a very good photographer and always catches some really good pictures.

Martha Jacob is getting her feet wet as a full-time reporter and is doing very well.

She has written a couple of very amusing columns so far and I look forward to more next year.

If you have a story idea or a tip about anything happening within schools or villages in the county,

What Do You Think?

What do you think the biggest news story was in 2010?

In praise of my Republican colleague Forty-four years ago, U.S. Sen. George V. Voinovich embarked on a journey that propelled him from Collinwood to Columbus to Congress. Fortyfour years ago, Ohio was a different place. We were confronted with challenges ranging from segregated neighborhoods to a shifting populace to economic strife and a host of issues that demanded steadfast leadership.

Ohio needed a determined leader and we found it in George Victor Voinovich. This son of Eastern European immigrants brought Midwestern values to Washington. On behalf of generations of Ohioans, I would like to express my gratitude to Senator Voinovich for nearly 50 years of public service. George and I are in different parties and may not agree on all the issues, but there is no questioning his dedication, humility, and gifted leadership.

Our state has come a long way in four decades and – as Sen. Voinovich retires – we have an opportunity to honor the man who has led us this far. I am proud to call him my friend and colleague. The trajectory of his career shows a sweeping commitment to public service.

George began his career as Assistant Ohio Attorney

SHERROD BROWN General, after receiving his undergraduate degree from Ohio University – where The Voinovich School of Leadership and Public Affairs is named in his honor – and earned his law degree from The Ohio State University Moritz College of Law. He served as the auditor and a commissioner for Cuyahoga County.

Since then, George has served as mayor of Cleveland, a state representative, governor of Ohio, and as a U.S. Senator. He recently delivered an address on the U.S. Senate floor for the final time.

If the mark of courageous leadership is having the fortitude to make difficult decisions during tough times, then Sen. Voinovich is a courageous leader. As mayor, he made hard choices that helped to transform Cleveland from the first city to go bankrupt since the Great Depression to a world-class urban center. His forward-looking leadership helped transform

The Brown County Press

a culturally rich manufacturing town into a robust hub of commerce, education, medicine, and the arts.

Then-Governor Voinovich used his considerable negotiation skills to unite public institutions and private organizations, creating new opportunities in our state. Public-private partnerships forged during his statehouse years have helped Ohio respond to an ever-evolving economic climate.

Reflecting his respect for our state’s tremendous potential, George likes to say “the rust is off the belt.” He walks his talk, not only promoting – but firmly believing in – Ohio as a great place to work, live, and raise a family.

As a pivotal member of the Senate Committee on the Environment and Public Works, George brought his executive experience as a Mayor and Governor to enhance our nation’s infrastructure.

He worked to ensure repair of our roads and bridges, our water and sewer systems. I was proud to author bipartisan legislation with him that would help municipalities afford necessary renovations to their water and sewer systems.

George’s advocacy also meant protecting the walleye and yellow perch in Lake Erie, promoting economic develop-

ment in Appalachia, and preserving Ohio’s legacy as a gateway to our nation’s economic prosperity.

If the mark of wise leadership means knowing when to compromise and when doing so is not beneficial, then Sen. Voinovich has led with wisdom.

While the Senator stands with his Republican colleagues on most issues, he recently crossed party lines to join me in voting for a small business jobs bill that will help Ohio small business owners access the credit they need to expand operations and hire new employees.

Regardless of the issue, the willingness to stand independently is the mark of a true statesman.

With his wife Janet by his side, George has spent his life in public service recognizing that governing is more than taking a position. It’s displaying leadership when it matters most.

That’s why Sen. Voinovich will be missed.

While Sen. Voinovich and I have not always been on the same side when it comes to policymaking, I have always known that we are aiming for the same goal: to promote the wellbeing of the people we serve and the prosperity of the state we call home.

Those miners who survived underground for almost 2 months, and their rescue. I watched that real close Bruce Farmer, Mt. Orab

I can't remember if it was in 2010 or not, but the effects of that terrible BP oil spill was big news.

Sherry Simpson, Mt. Orab

Well, it didn't really happen in 2010, but the after effects of Hurricane Katrina and all the clean-up still going on was a big story to me.

Clara Ryan, Mt. Orab

It would have to be those two young brothers who drowned down by Dunbar Road. That was a terrible time for our whole community.

Rhonda Frazier, Higginsport

I think it was all the snow that we've had this past year.

The BP oil spill was definitely the biggest news story to me. We'll all remember it for a long time.

The Brown County Press - Sunday, January 2, 2011 - Page 5

By Martha Jacob The Brown County Press Mt. Orab resident Neil Leist has written a book on his unique way of performing his job as Superintendent of the Clermont Northeastern School (CNE) District.

The book, called “Superintendent Savings Strategies (Stretching the Taxpayer’s Dollar in Your School)” rolled off the presses in November and is already making an impact on school boards across Ohio.

Leist was appointed superintendent in 2007 and found the district mired in significant financial distress. Levy attempts had consistently failed, due in part to the current economy.

“I knew when I took the position of superintendent that I would have to think “out-of-the-box” if I was going to make a difference,” Leist said.

For the past four years Leist has searched for ideas and plans that would save the school district money. He immediately formed close relationships with area businesses and especially the Clermont County Chamber of Commerce.

Just after accepting the job Leist received an email, a 20page message from the

Neil Leist

Federal Aviation Administration which was sent to all non-profit organizations in the Greater Cincinnati area.

“The email said that the FAA was moving from Lunken Airport and had hundreds of “tangible items,” everything from desks to chairs to computers, stuff that they just wanted to donate,” Leist stated with excitement in his voice.

“Well, that started it all. I told them I’d take everything they had. Our school board treasurer, Brian Switzer, and I made the trip to the airport to scout out our situation.”

The was the beginning of a strategy that would save Leist’s school district and the taxpayers in the district thousands of dollars.

Leist continued his efforts by making more and more contacts with area businesses like Duke Energy and Ford Motor Company.

After a couple years of his efforts, Leist decided to write his book on how other school districts could do the same thing he’s doing to help their schools.

But after only seven months working on his book, his wife Candy was diagnosed with thyroid cancer and faced an uncertain future.

“I wanted to just stop

working on my book, and put it aside,” Leist said, “But Candy said we had come too far to stop now, so with her support and encouragement, we finished the book and it was published in November.”

The book describes his step by step adventure on how he saved the Clermont Northeastern Local Schools an estimated $2 million dollars over the past 3 years.

Donated furniture, office supplies, computers and even kitchen equipment has allowed the school district to update and replace items while saving money.

“I’d really like to thank Matt Van Sant, president of the Clermont Chamber of Commerce for all his help in getting contacts,” Leist said.

“Without his help, I never could have pulled this all off.

“Other people who have been instrumental are Cyn Macke and Julie Grabill.”

Leist recommends anyone who plans on starting a new business or expanding the business they have, join their local chamber of commerce right away.

“My advise to school board members and superintendents everywhere, is to spend the schools money as if it was your own money,” added Leist. “You’ll spend it wiser

and it will go much farther.”

Leist’s book “Superintendent Savings Strategies (Stretching the Taxpayer’s Dollar in Your School” is available at the CNE Middle School for only $12 or can be ordered at www.neilleist.org,

www.neilleist.com or www.cneschools.org.

A special Candy Leist Scholarship Fund has been set up for presentation to a senior from CNE through the sale of his book. Three dollars from each book sold will go towards the scholarship.

Mt. Orab Village Council optimistic as year ends

By Martha Jacob The Brown County Press Mt. Orab Mayor Bruce Lunsford and village council members met in regular session Tuesday night and made important changes to the insurance plan for all village employees.

Although council members chose to stay with the same company that provided insurance as last year, they implemented several major changes including requiring current employees (16 full-time) to pay a small percentage of their insurance coverage.

“Beginning 2011 all new employees will pay 10 percent of the cost if they are nonsmokers,” Mayor Lunsford said. “But, if they are smok-

ers, they will have to pay 20 percent.

“Then in 2012 the same changes will begin for current employees. For employees who carry family or spouse policies the rates will be 20 percent if they are non-smokers and 30 percent for smokers.”

Lunsford said the new policies are good ones and hopefully will make for healthier employees.

“These agencies are looking for all kinds of ways to cut down on expenses,” Lunsford added. “It’s hard enough for small groups like ours to get coverage so this pro-active plan will help all of us.”

In other actions at the meeting, council approved the village temporary appropriations

ordinance for 2011.

“This is certainly a temporary budget,” Lunsford said.

“We’ve just appropriated enough to get the village through the first three months of 2011. We just don’t know what’s going to happen and we’re trying to be prepared.”

Council accepted the resignation of Mt. Orab Patrolman Joseph M. Layton, who will assume a position with the State of Ohio Department of Taxation.

“We’re all happy for officer Layton,” the mayor said. “We congratulate him. He is always working to improve himself.”

Lunsford stated that Officer Layton’s position will not be filled at this time.

SSCC blood drive exceeds donation goal More than 100 lives could be positively affected by the recent blood drive sponsored by Southern State Community College’s medical assisting students (MAST).

Hoxworth Blood Center visited the college’s Central Campus in Hillsboro in November and screened 44 potential volunteers, ultimately collecting enough blood to potentially save 105 lives. The drive exceeded the original donation goal of 30 units.

“We appreciate the amount of work that goes into every blood drive and I thank you for your efforts and generous support,” said Gary Woebkenberg, Hoxworth representative. “This

was the best blood drive ever at your school!”

Southern State’s MAST organization, which coordinates the blood drive each year, has already scheduled a tentative date for this year’s event. Mark your calendar now for Wednesday, Nov. 2, 2011.

“We appreciate your commitment to saving lives,” said Woebkenberg. “The donors who participated in your blood drive have helped ensure that there is an adequate blood supply for the patients in our community.”

WHEN HOME BECOMES LONELY You’ve paid your last respects to the deceased and offered your sympathy to the survivors. In short, you have done what friendship and tradition dictate. But is that enough?

It is important to remember that the grief and loneliness of the widow, widower or the family will go on after the period of the visitation and funeral. Suddenly, a home becomes more lonely and desolate. This is also a good time for you to show extra care and concern. This can be done with a personal visit and perhaps an invitation to a social event.

People who have had a death in the family usually need other people to help them return to the mainstream of life. Relatives and close friends can be of inestimable help during the first few weeks and months following the funeral.

Even if the survivors are not ready to mix and mingle when you first

call, don’t take it personally and don’t give up. Keep in touch. They will know when they are ready to resume life.

MISSIONARIES In the book of Philippians we find a message on missionary work.

The Bible tells us that we should support missionaries who go out into the nations to spread the word about Jesus. In fact, it is a commandment to tell others about Christ! What is our responsibility, our obligation, as an individual toward missionaries?

Look with me in chapter 4 and verses 13-19: “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. Notwithstanding ye have well done, that ye did communicate with my affliction. Now ye Philippians know also, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated with me as concerning giving and receiving, but ye only. For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my necessity. Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account. But I have all, and abound: I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, well pleasing to God. But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” Now this is based on what Jesus commanded in Matthew 28. In Matthew 28, after His ressurection when He appeared unto them, He made it very clear what was to be done. In verse 19 He said: “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations,...” Notice the commas. Now stop to think what was commanded in each phrase. The first is to go, then the second is to teach. Go where? Go to all nations. Teach what? Teach that all have sinned; teach that the penalty of sin is Hell; teach that Christ died on the cross to pay for our sin; teach that He arose from the grave 3 days later and is now seated on the right hand of the Father; and teach them that if they will ask Him, He will save them.

There is a third phrase in this verse. After going, after teaching them how to be saved, then the next phrase states: “...baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:” One God, 3 persons. The same as each member of the Holy Trinity is separated by a comma, so are the first 3 phrases of verse 19. Each phrase is separate yet part of the whole plan; first go, then teach, then baptize. The name of the Holy Ghost is fol-

DR. CHARLES SMITH MT. ORAB BIBLE BAPTIST CHURCH www.bbcmtorab.com lowed by a colon (:) not a period so it does not stop there. Verse 20 states: “Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world...” After baptism, the teaching is to be continued. They are taught all things which Christ commanded to be taught. Then comes another colon followed by His promise to be with us always even unto the end of the world.

This great commission is what Paul was engaged in in the book of Philippians. We are all commanded to participate in worldwide evangelism and/or missionary work. We can not all be missionaries; not everyone has that calling, but we are able to help and support our missionaries just as the Philippians supported Paul.

They should not have to worry about finances while they are doing God’s work that we cannot do. Here at Bible Baptist Church we support close to 50 foreign missionaries on a regular basis.

At the same time we are not to forget our own country. We also start churches on a continual basis as well as supporting churches that we are not starting ourselves. Normally we support these young churches for about 2 years. After that they are expected to be supporting themselves and their own missionaries. God’s word reaches the uttermost parts of the world by churches sending and supporting missionaries throughout all nations. Paul said that the Philippians had done well by communicating with him concerning giving and receiving. He said that the supplies which they sent was a sweet smelling sacrifice acceptable, well pleasing to God. No other church had supported him. What about your church? Are you supporting missionaries who, like Paul, are giving out the Gospel of Jesus Christ?

Clay Garrett

Garrett to march with OSU Band at Sugar Bowl A dream season is drawing to a close for Ohio State freshman, Clay Garrett, as he looks ahead to performing with the OSU Marching Band at the 2011 All-State Sugar Bowl in New Orleans on January 4th.

Garrett, a 2010 graduate of Eastern High School, auditioned this past August on the E-flat cornet for a spot in what Buckeye fans affectionately refer to as TBDBITL, The Best Damn Band In The Land.

Today the Ohio State University Marching Band is much more diverse than during its humble beginnings as a 12 piece, all male ROTC band. Since 1976, the band’s membership has held steady at 225 marching members. The band’s instrumentation is unique among college bands as it is patterned after the traditional British military allbrass and percussion band.

Band members come from all walks of life, and major in everything from anthropology to zoology. Even though music majors make up only a small percentage of the band's numbers, the musical and marching standards are very high. Everyone goes through a rigorous tryout procedure including marching, playing, both together - new candidates and returning veterans alike.

Men and women are held to

the same demanding physical standards, whether playing trumpet or tuba. These high standards are kept up throughout the season with weekly music checks, uniform inspections, and challenges.

The pre-game band show at the Sugar Bowl will feature a salute to jazz musician, Stan Kenton. Selections to be performed include Artistry in Rhythm, Peanut Vendor, and La Suerte De Los Tontos. The half-time show will feature traditional favorites including Buckeye Battle Cry, Across the Field, Carmen Ohio, and a double display of the incomparable “Script Ohio.”

Although the OSUMB has been honored around the country for its excellence, including being awarded the Sudler Trophy, the highest honor comes from its devoted fans. Buckeye faithful come from near and far to see and hear "The Pride of the Buckeyes." Each fall, thousands thrill to band’s strains in the Horseshoe, in St. John Arena, and in stadiums and concert halls around the state and country. This year the OSUMB also recorded a new music cd, performed at the NFL Browns vs. Bengals game in Cleveland, and traveled to the OSU game in Minnesota.

With the ever rising price of corn and soybeans being great for grain farmers, it is becoming even more of an issue for livestock producers who utilize corn and soybean meal for feed. With the elevated costs for these feed products, livestock producers are looking for other sources of feed. This is not new. Corn and soybeans were high a couple of years back, and many livestock producers used by-products to feed.

There are many by-products that can be used for feeding livestock, but there are some limitations or restrictions that you need to check into prior to feeding.

You need to consult an animal nutrition specialist if you have questions.

Soybean hulls, corn gluten meal, and distiller’s grains have been some of the more common by-products used in recent years. The distiller’s grains are more available due to the increased ethanol production.

One of the issues that livestock feeders need to consider is the amount of some of the nutrients available in distiller’s grain pellets. The crude protein is above 20%, and it can vary in the mid 20’s. One of the issues is the amount of phosphorus available and another issue is the amount of sulfur. The sulfur can be toxic at high levels, so the feed would need to have a limited amount of distiller’s grain in the ration.

Part of the ration would

Check with the local OSU Extension Office near you to see if they offer that service.

You need about 8 ounces of water. Use a clean plastic drinking water bottle.

There will also be an opportunity to learn more about the research being done by University of Nebraska-Lincoln and Iowa State University scientists about the possibility of feeding increased amounts of distillers and/or sulfur. This will be available online. You may want to check with a neighbor or family member that has the internet if you do not have it yourself.

There's no cost to participate in the web program, but it is important to check your computer system prior to attempting to connect to this program so you have everything ready. The information and recommendations will be shared through a webbased program beginning at 7:00 p.m. Jan. 6. The Web

There will be an additional charge after the deadline.

Orab Police Officer Chris Hodges.

Ruby was fatally shot by Hodges as the two exchanged fire while running down the side of the Mt. Orab Municipal Building, Ruby outside and Hodges inside.

Ruby had been ticketed by Conley for drunk driving earlier in the evening.

Investigators believe he returned for revenge.

3.

Katherine Lang charged with stealing nearly a million dollars from the Village of Ripley.

Lang was the village utilities clerk. She was arrested on Dec. 14 following an audit that lasted over a year.

The Auditor of State says between 2006 and 2009, Lang adjusted utility bills downward in the computer system once they were paid and pocketed the difference.

She faces a maximum of fifty years in prison on the charges.

So far, none of the money has been recovered.

4.

New Kroger Marketplace opens in Mt. Orab.

After 10 months of construction, a new 133,000 square foot Kroger store opened its doors in Mt. Orab on May 6.

The new store is twice the size of the old one and offers many more items and services, including a jewelry store, Starbucks coffee, a sit-down dining area.

The Brown County Press/WAYNE GATES

Bullet holes like this one through a window were all over the Mt. Orab police station. At least eight rounds hit the building.

The new store has also hosted many visitors from within and outside of the Kroger company who are eager to see how the new store and its items are being received.

5. Brown County Hospital repeatedly put up for sale.

The Brown County Hospital is currently being listed for sale for the fourth time this year.

The hospital and its parent company have been struggling financially and are looking for a financial partner to provide investment capital for new construction and other expansions of service.

Two separate suitors spent months looking into the deal but backed out before closing

the deal.

One of them, Essent Healthcare of Nashville, TN, pulled the plug the day that their board of directors were expected to approve the sale.

6. Tina Meranda sues Judge Gusweiler.

Brown County Clerk of Courts Tina Meranda filed a lawsuit against Common Pleas Judge Scott Gusweiler in a dispute over a set of keys.

February, Meranda In changed the locks to her office in the courthouse and Gusweiler told her he wanted a key to the new lock.

In court papers, Meranda said that Gusweiler told her that he would jail her for contempt if she did not give him

one.

Meranda received a court order from Gusweiler requiring the key and turned it over to him.

She then sued Gusweiler for intimidation.

The case remained active until it was dismissed in June

by Visiting Judge Thomas Nurre.

Nurre ruled that Gusweiler had the legal authority to hold Meranda in contempt if he so chose and that she was not legally intimidated.

7. Brown County budget cuts.

The 2010 Brown County Budget was approximately one million dollars less than the budget for 2009.

To make up for the shortfall, commissioners voted to raise the county sales tax 1/4 percent, which would raise an estimated additional 500 thousand dollars per year.

The increase was originally to go into effect on Jan. 1, 2010, but a petition drive forced the issue to be placed on the May 2010 ballot.

Voters narrowly voted down the effort to repeal the tax, with the measure failing by 113 votes out of over 4500 cast.

Due to state laws about when tax changes can take effect following a vote, the increased tax did not go into effect until October 1, with the first payment containing the additional funds expected next month.

The delay cost the county approximately 500 thousand

dollars in revenue.

8. School budget battles.

Both Fayetteville-Perry and Eastern school districts had to cut large chunks out of their budgets to balance the books in 2011 and beyond.

In March, Eastern voted to cut over 700 thousand dollars from their 2010-2011 budget and Fayetteville-Perry cut one million dollars from their budget in April.

The cuts led to layoffs and other cost-cutting measures in both districts.

All Brown County schools are bracing for more possible cuts in 2011 as the State of Ohio tries to erase a multi-billion dollar shortfall.

9.

Allan Wright and Division of Wildlife officials charged.

In April, Ohio Division of Wildlife Officer Allan Wright was suspended for allowing an out of state friend to use his address to obtain an in-state deer hunting permit.

Wright was charged with Falsification and Tampering with Records.

His immediate supervisors were also suspended and charged with Obstruction of Justice by Brown County Prosecutor Jessica Little for knowing about Wright’s activities and not reporting them to law enforcement as required by state law.

They include ODNR Division 5 Supervisor Todd Haines, ONDR Division of Wildlife Human Resources Administrator Michelle WardTackett, ODNR Division of

Wildlife Law Enforcement Administrator James Lehman, ODNR Assistant Chief Randy Miller and ODNR Division of Wildlife Director David Graham.

The charges against Wright have since been dropped by Little and the case is still under investigation by Special Prosecutor David Kelley of Adams County.

The other five defendants have returned to work pending an appeal of a ruling by Common Pleas Judge Scott Gusweiler that their rights against self-incrimination were violated during the investigation because of the threat of losing their jobs unless they cooperated was considered coercion.

Little is appealing the ruling saying that the five were not threatened with dismissal.

10. Teri Hamilton signs her dogs away.

38 dogs were seized from Hamilton in October by Adams County Dog Warden Paul Hughes and members of the Brown County Humane Society.

Upon entering the home, Hughes found little food and water and an inoperable freezer full of an unknown number of dog carcasses.

Hamilton is facing criminal misdemeanor charges of cruelty to animals, having to tags on the animals and failing to register as a kennel.

The dogs were spayed or neutered and adopted out to homes by the Brown County Humane Society.

When asked if she might run for office again, Paeltz said, “I don’t know what the future might bring, and I haven’t had any time to think about that.

Right now I’m going to finish out my days as commissioner and work just as hard as I have the past four years.”

Paeltz added that she does look forward to going on a vacation and spending more time with her two grandsons.

She said that she believes Brown County is headed for some good times. She will be missed by all her co-workers as well as residents of Brown County.

Bubp echoed those comments, saying “To see what he’s been through and the adversity he’s faced, I’m very proud of what he’s done.”

In an interview with the Press on Dec. 28, Eagan said his priorities once he takes office are to work together with fellow commissioners Ralph Jennings and Bill Geschwind to find a buyer for Brown County General Hospital and to plan for Brown County’s future.

“The new state administration will try to attract new business in the future and I believe it’s time for Brown County to get a fair share of that new business”, Eagan said.

Eagan added that “there is no ‘I’ in team” and that he plans to do everything he can to accomplish as much as possible with Jennings and Geschwind to move Brown

County forward.

Eagan will officially take office on January 1.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Williams and Michael Sayers, head of the entire thing, and I’ve been asking a lot of questions,” Birkholtz added. “They are asking for extensive evaluations for every single teacher, every year.

“And they’re looking at multiple measures and this evaluation process can take up a lot of time.”

Birkholtz went on to say principal’s in the district have enough on their plates with their jobs already, and according to the “Race to the Top’ program they would have to train all the other principals and teachers which would be very time consuming.

“The state level doesn’t seem to grasp how these small rural districts operate,” he added. I figure it’s going to cost somewhere around $150,000 a year to do all this and I’m sure we don’t have those kind of funds.”

Birkholtz said in his opinion it looks as if the state in already going in this direction and it looks as if maybe they should wait until they get more answers to a lot of questions.

“On of my big questions is, what’s going to happen if we

can’t implement this program,” he asked the board, “If we spend this $204,000 and we can’t implement it, do we have to return the money? I want a commitment from the state level, in writing, from the state just what would happen in this case.”

In other business, following a 50 minute executive session the board read a written statement that said: ‘Due to no new information, the RULH Board denies the grievance brought forth by a bus driver and authorized the board president to issue a written response to the driver.’

The board also presented a State Board of Education Certificate of Accommodation to Principal Mike Kennedy and the middle school staff for the school’s continuous improvement.

Kennedy was presented with a plaque and thanked by all the board members.

“I want to make the board aware that this award is the direct result of solid leadership on Mr. Kennedy’s part,” Birkholtz said.

“We graciously accept this award,” Kennedy said, “Since

our beginning in 2005, I’m really proud of what we’ve accomplished in our building.”

Later in the meeting Birkholtz told the board that after last year’s false claim of sexual harassment, he and the schools attorney’s have drafted a new revised policy on sexual harassment that outlines everything necessary to protect the district.

The board passed recommendations to approve Missy Bahnsen as a volunteer assistant for the 7th and 8th grade cheerleaders and Wade Linville and Bradley Cannon as a volunteer assistant for 7th grade boys basketball for the 2010-2011 school year.

A one-year contract was awarded to Gabriel Tull as a bus driver, at prevailing wage, Amy Smith, Title I Parent Coordinator, was approved at music director supplemental, pending background check and updates were approved for the classified substitute list for the upcoming school year.

Joe Vaughn was appointed president pro-tem for the organizational meeting scheduled for Jan. 11 at 6 p.m.

Fourth annual Mocktails event at SHCTC The Brown County Safe Communities Coalition and Southern Hills Career & Technical Center (SHCTC) will be co-sponsoring the fourth annual Mocktails Event and Contest from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Monday, Jan. 31 in the SHCTC Multi-Purpose Room. Any agency, organization, or group based in Brown County is invited to participate in the competition, and the public is also invited to attend to sample the Mocktails and cast votes for their favorites!

This year’s contest will once again have a football theme and will be centered around the NFL Super Bowl Game, as traditionally there have been almost as many alcohol-related crashes during Super Bowl Weekend as there are with other major holidays.

Fans Don’t Let Fans Drive Drunk is the primary message for our Mocktails event.

A “mocktail” is a non-alcoholic drink that can be safety served at any party or festive event. The Mocktails Contest is held to raise public awareness about the importance of not drinking and driving during the upcoming Super Bowl festivities, and to show that party drinks need not contain alcohol to be enjoyable.

SUSAN BASTA At the Mocktails event, those entering the Contest will get the chance to show off their “creative juices” (and perhaps sense of humor as well, as costumes and decorations are also encouraged, although certainly not required). Each participating agency or group will need to bring its Mocktail drink for sampling and set up a booth/display to promote the prevention of drunk driving.

So if you want to have some fun, show your support for drunk driving prevention, and promote a happy and safe Super Bowl weekend, convince your office or organization to enter the Contest. For entry information, please call Sue Basta, Brown County Safe Communities Project Director, at HEALTH-UC at (937) 378-4171 or email her at Susan.Basta@UC.edu. The deadline for registration is Jan. 26.

Brown County Safe Communities (BCSC) is a participant in the Ohio Safe

Communities program, which was developed through the Ohio Department of Public Safety to establish and expand community partnerships to create safer, healthier communities throughout Ohio.

Funded by the U.S. Dept. of Transportation/National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Ohio Dept. of Public Safety/Ohio Traffic Safety Office, BCSC is administered by HEALTH-UC and the University of Cincinnati AHEC Program.

2010 Brown County Holiday Tournament Lady G-Men claim BCT title, defeat Lady Rockets In a battle of two 7-0 teams, the Georgetown Lady G-Men came out victorious over the Fayetteville Lady Rockets, 4136, claiming the 2010 Brown County Holiday Tournament title.

“The girls did a nice job executing the game plan,” said Georgetown coach Bernie Cropper. “We played a great first half. We did everything we wanted to do in that first half.”

“Georgetown had us scouted well,” said Fayetteville coach Toby Sheets. “They really played good helpside defense.”

The Brown County Press/RITCHIE BUTLER

Georgetown’s Kirsten Grant scores two of her 10 points during the Lady G-Men’s win over Fayetteville.

Georgetown’s Casey Carter started where she left off against Western, draining two threes in the first five minutes of the game. Jesse Kidwell added a layup and a 3-pointer as the Lady G-Men ran to a 14-6 lead after one quarter.

The lead grew to 20-8 when Carter netted her third three of the night with 5:11 left in the second stanza.

Fayetteville’s Makayla Rosselot made a pair of layups in the period, pulling the Lady Rockets to within 11, at 23-12, with less than a minute left in the half.

Kidwell scored on a backdoor cut in the waning seconds of the second quarter, giving the Lady G-Men a 25-12 advantage at the break.

“They started hot,” said Sheets. “We had not seen that kind of defensive intensity. We were able to win some minutes and make a comeback in that second half.”

“We attacked their zone and were able to get back on defense,” said Cropper.

“Kidwell was key to our fast start. Casey had a great tournament. Fayetteville got going with their man defense in the second half.”

The third quarter belonged to the Lady Rockets. Shelby Sheets got going in the frame,

netting six points. Megan Eyre added a layup and a three as Fayetteville climbed back into the game.

Carter scored on a cut to the hoop and Kirsten Grant added four points for the Lady G-Men, enabling Georgetown to hold a 31-24 lead heading into the fourth period.

Carter and Grant scored early in the fourth, pushing the Georgetown lead back to double digits at 36-26 with 5:55 remaining in the game.

But the Lady Rockets did not quit. Fayetteville went on a 6-0 run, getting free throws from Desiree Dutro and layups from Sheets and Eyre.

Cheyenne Ramey made 1-of2 from the line with 31 seconds left, cutting the deficit to 36-33.

Grant answered with two free throws, giving the Lady G-Men a 38-33 lead with 23 ticks remaining.

Eyre canned a tough 3-pointer on Fayetteville’s next trip, cutting the margin to 38-36 with 13 seconds left.

Carter converted 3-of-4 at the line in the final 11 seconds, preserving the 41-36 Georgetown victory.

“This was a great game for us to play in and get better,” said Sheets. “The kids played with a lot of heart.”

“We handled their pressure

Fayetteville’s Megan Eyre made two 3-pointers during the Lady Rockets’ loss to Georgetown.

well and made big plays when we needed to make them,” said Cropper. “Kirsten had a good second half.”

Carter led all scorers with 18 tallies. Kidwell and Grant added 10 points each. Hannah Jones chipped in three for the Lady GMen.

Eyre and Sheets paced Fayetteville with 10 points each. Dutro added six. Ramey and Rosselot chipped in five points each.

The Brown County Press/RITCHIE BUTLER

Western’s Morgan Wright lets a jumper fly during the Lady Broncos’ loss to Eastern in the consolation game of the Brown County Holiday Tournament. Wright scored 18 points.

The Eastern Lady Warriors held off the Western Lady Broncos, winning the consolation game of the Brown County Holiday Tournament by a score of 55-42.

“Shayla Black stepped up and hit some threes, setting the tone,” said Eastern coach John Burrows. “Emily Tatman hit some big baskets. It’s a lot better game when you can score.”

“Eastern did a good job with our press,” said Western coach John Kirschner. “With (Allison) Prine out, I thought we’d give them more problems.”

Tatman and Black led the way in the first quarter, combining for four 3-pointers in the first seven minutes, as Eastern took a 13-6 edge.

Western’s Danika Ratcliff converted two three-point plays in the final minute of the quarter, pulling the Lady Broncos to within five, at 1712, after eight minutes of play.

Morgan Wright hit a jumper and Ty Henry banked in a shot, cutting Eastern’s lead to 20-16 with 5:34 left in the second quarter.

Tatman responded with another three and Black tacked on two free throws,

extending the Lady Warriors’ lead back to nine, at 25-16.

Henry sank a 3-pointer and Abby Hall made a layup, making it a four-point game with just over three minutes remaining in the half.

Eastern scored eightstraight over the next two minutes, getting two goals each from Amber Yockey and Christina Burns, taking a 3321 lead.

Wright stuck back an offensive board and drained a long three before the buzzer, cutting Eastern’s lead to 35-26 at the break.

The third quarter was all Eastern. The Lady Warriors held Western to just three points in the frame, all of them coming at the line.

Meanwhile, Eastern scored 11 points, getting baskets from Burns, Black, Leeza Rickey, Andrea Neu and Andrea Tracy. After three quarters, the Lady Warriors held a 46-29 lead.

The Lady Broncos got going in the fourth quarter.

After Rickey made a jumper, increasing Eastern’s lead to 48-29, Western went on a 7-2 run. Wright hit a jumper and converted a three-point play.

Henry added a layup, trimming the deficit to 50-36.

Black converted two free throws in the final seconds, securing the 55-42 win for Eastern.

“Western hung in there,” said Burrows. “We missed some free throws and had some turnovers. But the kids defended well and rebounded.

Andrea Neu and Haley Malott gave us good minutes off the bench.”

“We got some good looks at the basket,” said Kirschner.

“We just didn’t hit the open shots. We missed a few and became hesitant.”

Black led all scorers with 19 points. Yockey, Burns and Tatman added eight points each. Neu chipped in six for the Lady Warriors.

Wright paced the Lady Broncos with 18. Henry and Ratcliff added seven points each. Seigla chipped in five.

“We let them dictate the tempo on both ends of the floor,” said Ripley coach Mike Kennedy. “We didn’t take care of the ball and had some silly turnovers. We seemed a step behind on the defensive end.”

The two Southwest District rivals started slow offensively.

Logan Perkins made two layups in the first four minutes for the Jays. The Mustangs got two goals from Andrew Benintendi, a runner from Brad Almquist and a hook shot from Kevin Costello on their way to an 8-4 lead at the midway point in the first frame.

With two minutes left in the first quarter, Madeira held a 148 lead before Ravye Williams cut the Jays’ deficit in half with

Just past the halfway point, Rosselot converted a three-point play, giving the Lady Rockets a 37-22 lead.

Emily Tatman hit a jumper and Allison Prine added two charity tosses, cutting the Fayetteville lead back to 11.

The Fayetteville Lady Rockets remained unbeaten while advancing to the finals of the Brown County Holiday Tournament with a 58-42 win

over the Eastern Lady Warriors at Georgetown High School on Monday.

“Playing against Eastern is always a problem,” said Fayetteville coach Toby Sheets. “We wanted to stay with our 23 zone, which is our best defense.

Keeping the lead was key to staying in our normal sets.”

“We didn’t shoot it well,” said Eastern coach John Burrows. “We didn’t attack the zone. They are so long outside. It gave us fits.”

The Lady Warriors did shoot it well in the first eight minutes, running out to a 14-8 lead. During the run, Christina Burns scored in the post at the free throw line. Shayla Black nailed a 3pointer and Amber Yockey netted five points on two field goals and a free throw.

Desiree Dutro brought the Lady Rockets back to within two, at 14-12, when she stuck back an offensive board.

Eastern’s Andrea Tracy made a jumper in the closing seconds of the first frame, giving the Lady Warriors a 16-12 edge after one quarter.

The second period saw Eastern’s offensive woes begin.

Fayetteville took advantage of several deflected passes, turning some turnovers into scores. Shelby Sheets hit a bank shot. Makayla Rosselot made a layup and with six minutes remaining

OSU quit smoking study offers free nicotine patches Adults in Brown County who smoke but want to quit can now get help through a research partnership between The Ohio State University (OSU) College of Public Health and OSU Extension in Brown County. This project will provide up to 8 weeks of nicotine patches and telephone support for 60 adult smokers in Brown County.

To participate in this project, smokers need to be: a resident of Brown County, 18 years or older, no recent, major health issues, daily smoker, and not pregnant.

Men and women can participate. People must also be willing to try to quit in the next month by using telephone support and nicotine patches, which will be provided free of charge as long as they remain in the study.

Quitting is never easy - for smokers that is. The purpose of the study is to find out how effective telephone sup-

port and patches are for smokers in the Appalachian region of Ohio. Participants will be asked a set of questions before they start the project, and 3, 6, and 12 months later. It is important for participants to stay in the study for 12 months, whether they quit smoking or not. Participants will receive a small gift card after each data collection to thank them for their time.

Brown County is one of six counties in Ohio Appalachia selected to participate in this project over the next several years, in part because of high rates of smoking. According to the 2008 Ohio Family Health Survey, 37 percent of adults in Brown County smoke, in comparison, the statewide smoking rate in Ohio in 2008 was 20.1 percent.

Anyone interested in participating should call Anita McKinzie at (937) 5727746.

New Year’s Resolutions for the Garden

BY Faye Mahaffey OSUE Brown County Master Gardener Volunteer As you put your garden and flower beds to sleep for the winter, did you make some resolutions for next year? I always resolve to divide my daylilies and perennials, but it doesn’t always happen! How about you? Do those same resolutions carry over from year to year? This week I am going to share my #1 resolution for next year….I am going to use my new compost bin! I have to admit that I make the attempt each year, but sadly I don’t always carry my composting through the season. I have an attractive compost container that can sit on the kitchen counter, but I have found that so far, a zip storage bag stored under the sink seems to be the most practical way for me to save scraps for the compost bin. My husband even deposits his banana peels in the bag!

I asked Susan Barber County Master (Brown Gardener) if there were any special tips for taking care of my compost in the winter. Her tips include: Don’t let the pile freeze. Turn more frequently and add manure or blood meal to try and keep the pile warmer. You might consider

covering the pile with a tarp to keep it warm. In our climate, it most likely will freeze at some point no matter what you do. If it does freeze, it will stop “working”, but not to worry – it will start back up when it warms up and you give it a turn!

What can be composted?

Fruit and vegetable scraps, green leaves, green plants, coffee grounds, tea bags, grass clippings, manure from animals that do not eat meat, flowers, leaves, pine needles, wood chips, shredded newspaper, wood ash, straw sawdust, cornstalks, alfalfa hay, brush and shrub trimmings, prunings, crushed egg shells and bread. Don’t forget that wood takes a long time to decompose, so chop or chip large pieces to speed up the process.

Do not compost oils, fats, grease, bones, meat, weed seeds, salad dressing, diseased plants, inorganic material, butter or dairy products, cat or dog manure.

Why compost? Some gardeners call compost “Black Gold”. Compost is an ideal mulch, soil amendment, or top dressing for a flower bed or vegetable garden. A compost pile naturally breaks down yard waste into compost right in your backyard, saving you

the time and energy of bagging yard waste, storing it, and then hauling it to the curb or drop-off center. Organic compost loosens soil for better root penetration, improves soil capacity to hold water, and adds essential nutrients to soil.

Is there a compost recipe? It seems that building a compost pile is similar to making a pot of soup. You collect a few ingredients, mix well, and stir!

When gathering materials to compost, remember that a good mix of carbon (“brown stuff”) and nitrogen (“green stuff”) is needed. The ideal mix of carbon to nitrogen is 30:1.

Why do you need to turn the compost pile? Turning provides oxygen to the bacteria and other microorganisms doing the work. Water is also very important to your compost pile. With rain, the pile may stay moist without help, but during dry spells you will need to add water to keep the pile damp.

I have made several trips to my compost bin this month and hope that I will continue to collect scraps through the winter. Tromping through the snow to the compost bin at the garden gives me time to dream about warm weather and juicy tomatoes!

Creature Feature

B R O A D S H E E T O D D

Amputations are often the best choice

BY DR. DAN MEAKIN Pets get cancer – actually commonly. They get malignant and benign neoplasms (tumors) quite frequently.

Some breeds get them more often than others and some tumors have breed tendencies.

Diagnosis can be a challenge as our patients don’t always tell us what’s hurting.

For example, at the age of 13 “Sadie” Earhart started limping on her left front leg.

After a biopsy we discovered she had a nerve sheath tumor that was likely to spread. One operation bought her 3-4 months but then she began limping again and acting painful. The next option for Sadie was an amputation.

Since God gave all dogs

three legs and a spare, the Earhart’s decided to proceed with allowing All Creatures to do the procedure.

Thirty days post op “Sadie” has not missed a step and margins to the nerves and lymph are cancer free. Now if you would take 10 pet owners, I would say 50 percent of owners would feel that removing a limb would not seem “fair” or “cruel” to do to their loved pet.

I can usually determine the quality of life issues and when we recommend a second chance by amputation, and most owners can’t thank us enough after seeing the results.

Take another patient of All Creatures, “Hershey” Gribble.

Hershey was hit by a car and

dragged under a vehicle before getting away with a badly damaged open fracture in one hind limb and also a open dislocated ankle in the other limb.

After it was clear we could not save one hind limb, we had to use a screw, a stabilization wire, and splint the other leg for 4 weeks for Hershey to keep his other back leg.

While splinted, Hershey actually began walking on two legs and did quite well on his front two legs.

Now it’s been two months and Hershey is managing with his three legs very well during his recent recheck.

Dr. Dan Meakin is the owner of All Creatures Animal Hospital, 1894 Ohio Pike in Amelia. Call (513) 797-PETS.
