THE BROWN COUNTY
Sheriff to Coroner: ‘No trust at all’ BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press On her first day as Interim Brown County Coroner, Dr. Judith Varnau sent a letter to Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine questioning the qualifications of Brown County Sheriff Dwayne Wenninger. That letter, along with ongoing discussions on policy and procedure at death scenes, have severely strained the working relationship between the Coroner’s Office and the Sheriff’s Department. “There is no trust here at all”, said Brown County

Sheriff’s Office Chief Deputy John Schadle. Wenninger said when he
learned of the letter that “I wasn’t surprised because Mr. Varnau can’t let (his
legal fight with Wenninger) go. He’s lost every court case and I feel like they are trying to do whatever they can to get back at me.” Prior to the Press receiving copies of the letter to the Attorney General and the response, Dr. Varnau was asked about the relationship between the two parties. She said, “My only agenda is to take care of the deceased and their families.” A telephone call requesting comment on the letter sent to the Attorney General was not returned. In the letter to the Attorney General, Varnau lays out the legal case pursued
by her husband, Dennis Varnau against Wenninger over the past several years. The letter begins “The mandatory duty to turn over firearms to the current sheriff of Brown County presents a legal dilemma for me where the sheriff’s claim and legal credentials to hold office have...never been specifically addressed by any court of competent jurisdiction.” The Varnau case against Wenninger ended last September when the U.S. Supreme Court refused to take the case. Prior to that, Varnau lost in the Ohio Supreme Court.
Varnau then asks the Attorney General to intervene in the case, writing “The history of concealment and complete failure to address Mr. Wenninger’s legal qualifications is significantly suspect beyond probable cause, leaving only one individual left with the legal authority, duty and power, to take the case before a court of competent jurisdiction for a decision on the actual facts and merits present - the Attorney General.” The letter then lays out the timeline of the case and legal arguments used by Mr. Varnau.

Flu season is no Burrows leaving Western Brown for Georgetown: ‘right move for my family’ big deal so far BY Martha B. Jacob The Brown County Press Members of the Georgetown Exempted Village School District Board of Education offered the position of Superintendent to Christopher Burrows, the current Western Brown Local School District superintendent. The action was taken at a special meeting called on January 14 after the board was told by Superintendent Tom Durbin, that he would be resigning. Burrows replaced Durbin as Superintendent at Western Brown in mid February of 2011. Then in April of 2011, Durbin was hired by Georgetown Schools as superintendent.“I always said I wanted to work for about a year at Georgetown,” Durbin said. “And here it is well in
to my second year. My resignation becomes effective as soon as Mr. Burrows can get released from Western.” Burrows stated that he had talked individually to each of his board members on Friday, January 11. “I went to each of their homes and to each of the administrators offices to tell them my plans,” Burrows said. “It’s been a difficult couple of days. “But you know, my passion is curriculum and instruction and when I came to Western, I saw a lot of that in place and that’s why I chose Western. I saw a lot of potential there and I still see a lot of potential. But as you all know, there are a lot of roadblocks there that have shifted my work into more of management position.” Burrows went on to say CONTINUED ON PAGE 10

The flu season has come once again, but Brown County has not been affected nearly as much as other areas. The Brown County Board of Health has had 20 cases reported, along with increased interest in receiving flu shots. “We are getting more calls and people coming in for flu shots now so we’ve been giving them since September, but I think with the media reporting, a lot of people are getting nervous and coming in that haven’t had a flu shot and getting that so which we think is a good thing especially for the young kids and elderly people to get their flu shots,” said Gina Spiller, Nursing Director at the Brown
County Board of Health. Spiller said more flu-like illnesses, such as upset stomachs and respiratory illnesses, have been seen by the board of health and by the Southwest Regional Medical Center. “I think sometimes people get confused and call in for the flu. There’s a stomach virus that’s also going around and that’s not flu. There’s a respiratory illness that’s going around, different virus, but that’s not the flu either,” said Spiller. Karen Otto, who is in charge of Infection Control and Employee Heath at SWRMC echoed Spiller. “I think that what we’re testing is not testing out to be positive for flu. Again I think it’s the fact that how many people have been getting flu vaccine,” Otto said. CONTINUED ON PAGE 10

The University of Cincinnati Medical Center has launched a major initiative to bring the expertise of its UC Stroke Team to partner with Southwest Regional Medical Center (SWRMC) in Georgetown. On January 16, the Brown County Chamber of Commerce held a special ribbon cutting ceremony to welcome a telestroke robot to Southwest Regional. The telestroke robot, which works similar to the way Skype® operates, transmits a patient’s medical data to an off-site physician, who can manipulate the robot to interact with the patient, physicians, nurses and family members. According to Joan Phillips, president and CEO of SWRMC this new robot
will save lives in Brown County. University Hospital paid for ten telestroke robots, including the one at SWRMC. The local hospital will not have to pay the cost of oper-

Georgetown Village Council appointed two new council members at their Jan. 10 meeting, following the resignation of Councilman Steve Triplett and the vacancy created when Daryll Gray resigned and was sworn in as Brown County Commissioner. Kelly Cornette, president of the Brown County Chamber of Commerce, filled Gray’s seat and RaeLena Morrison filled Triplett’s seat. Both were immediately sworn in by Solicitor Jay Cutrell. Both Cornette and Morrison’s seats will be up the end of 2013 and both will have to run in the November election to keep their seats. Other candidates who were considered for the positions included Michelle Hopkins, M. Susan McKinley, Michael Smith, Steven Douglas Turner and Carol Myers.
In other business, Mayor Dale Cahall appointed Natalie Newberry as fiscal officer for the village, replacing Ginny Colwell who retired in December. Cahall told council that committee members would be assigned at the next meeting scheduled for January 24. Councilman Drew Watson was voted in as president of council for the second year, and will fill in in the absence of Cahall at meetings. Chair for the strategic planning committee, Watson reported that at a December 19 meeting revisions to area maps were being made to help in continuing zoning efforts in the village. Watson explained that the zoning issue has been a three-year project because of the mapping in different areas of the village. Village Administrator Jeremy Germann added that about 95 percent of
the problem has been with the language, and issues in the older section of town and that they needed to be as precise as possible. Watson told council that his committee should have something to bring to council after two or three more meetings. Germann reported to council that the Possum Road storage tank project had been completed and that the remaining sewage had already been pumped out and it is about 99 percent finished and about 99 percent of the bills on it have been paid. After a brief discussion by council a 10% reduction on electrical rates for residential customers was approved by council for their December billing cycle. The reduction, which will occur in February, is to help customers who decorate their homes for the holidays, defray the added costs. Councilman Art Owens told council that he was in the process of organizing
a special town hall meeting at the Georgetown Schools to discuss ways of hiring resource officers for each of the two school buildings. “I still need to speak with the auditor’s office about how to finance resource officers for the schools,” Owens said. “I just think it’s time that Georgetown step up and take the lead on this, to keep our kids safe. “I like to ask for support from the rest of council on this and I’ll let everyone know when I get this town meeting scheduled. All this is in the preliminary stages, but my thoughts are to run a levy and have it controlled by the village.” Owens asked for everyone’s input and suggestions on the issue. He also told council that action needed to be taken before people start forgetting about the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School.

traffic related and 224 were criminal charges, a drop of 161 tickets from the y ear before; • of the traffic tickets issued 110 were for speeding and 134 were for some form of driving under suspensions. “Our mayors court revenue dropped again this year,” Coburn said, “although we did show an upswing in activities during the last quarter of the year. We ended with an approximate $20,000 drop in revenue. “The total amount of revenue generated to the village by our mayor’s court in 2012 was $67,242.” Coburn said that he believes mayor’s court cases will continue to increase and will be back to normal in 2013. He added that municipal court cases remained about the same while felony cases in common pleas court showed an increase. He said his department’s conviction rate was over 90 percent. “Our 2012 budget was reduced, due to the cuts we endured from the state and the changes we had in the inheritance tax,” Coburn continued. “In spite of those reduction we were able to work within our budget for several reasons including being strict in our purchasing, our officers were very conscientious about spending and they all took exceptional care of our existing equipment.” Coburn praised Lt. Rob Freeland for locating the best possible price for all purchases made by his department. He sa id his department was able to obtain a new SUV in 2012. He told council that maintenance costs for 2012 for his fleet was $13,172 which was $5,775 more than in 2011. “Total miles driven in 2012 was 73,055 which is 1,368 miles less than we drove in 2011,” he said. “we also cut back considerably on our paid training.” He explained that through some creative scheduling his department was able to offer some training to the officers on a voluntary basis. All his officers took advantage of the training on their own time. Coburn said his department was able to purchase one new replacement taser and one new upgraded taser, a new computer for Lt. Freeland and a video camera for the department’s SUV. “Our K-9 Unit continues to be a real asset to the Village of Georgetown,” Coburn said. “Ptl. Inlow and his partner Gabber just keep getting better. The
unit generated over $10,000 in fines and costs to the village in 2012 and has generated over $24,000 in revenue since it started.” He added that his department was fortunate to have obtained the ‘license plate reader’ through the Home Land Security Grant administered by the Hamilton County Emergency Management Agency. “This reader is an awesome piece of equipment,” Coburn said, “and I anticipate it providing valuable information to us in the future.” Coburn said that his goals for 2013 are to continue improving his service to the village, obtain any training his department can afford, and continue his efforts to work within his budget. He plans to continue his search for grants and plans to work closely with Georgetown schools to develop a workable solution to school security. Chief Coburn then thanked Mayor Dale Cahall, Administrator Jeremy Germann, Solicitor Jay Cutrell and all council members for their continued support, encouragement, confidence and guidance. He told them that working with them was a pleasure.

Letters to the Editor
Teacher praises special students Dear Editor, In light of the recent school tragedies, I think that it is important for the world to know that there are still positive and inspiring things happening in our schools, especially at Fayetteville Perry High School. I teach special education in the high school unit for students with multiple disabilities. They're my heroes. I also have student mentors, typical students that volunteer in my classroom, that help my stu-
dents succeed academically and socially. The mentoring program has grown to a group of 30 students that are committed to serving my 7 heroes. I'm proud of my students and mentors every day for their accomplishments, but the student body, as a whole, has gone above and beyond. One of my students is a senior this year. He has cerebral palsy which affects his abilities cognitively and physically. However, he's unstop-
the top three candidates with the most votes. They are actively campaigning for his win. Although the winner will be revealed at the homecoming game Jan. 25, he already feels like a king. Only the most genuine kindness can bestow royalty on such a worthy candidate. I'm so proud to teach in this amazing school and wanted a chance to tell the world about these heroes. Emily Schelling
increases your chances that the crash will result in injury. The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia’s (CHOP) Research Institute has done extensive research with teen drivers, including focus group research. When they talked with teens around the U.S., teens defined speeding as “more than 10 miles above the posted limits”. Well, if a teen drove 40 miles per hour in a 30 mph zone, driving “only” 10 miles over the speed limit would result in a 78 percent increase in the collision energy (nearly double what it would be if the vehicle was traveling 30 miles per hour). Half of the teens with whom the CHOP interviewers spoke stated that they drive much faster than the posted speed limit at least some of the time. In the National Young Driver Survey conducted by CHOP, students were asked how often they saw teen drivers speeding while driving. Students responded that speeding is much more common than substance abuse, with more than 9 out of every 10 students reporting having seen or been involved in speeding. A survey from the Allstate Foundation revealed that 17% of teens said speeding is fun, 55% said that they exceed the speed limit by more than 10 mph, and 69% of teens who speed said they do this because they want to keep up with traffic. The other complicating

Aberdeen reader upset by article Editors Note: Phyllis A. Bishop sent this letter to The Ledger Independent, Maysville, Kentucky and furnished a copy to the Brown County Press for publication. Dear Editor, In order that the citizens of Aberdeen be kept correctly informed about thier village business it is necessary to ask for this correction to your editorial in your paper (The Ledger Independent, Maysville, Kentucky) dated January 9, 2013: There is no language in the Memorandum of Understanding whereby the impression is either given or implied that the lawsuit filed by the estate of Louis & Clara Bramel lacked merit. Contrary, it cites ORC
149.43 (C) as the applicable law. These are facts readily available to your reporter and yet she did not take the time to check the veracity of source for the information. to state with specificity that, “No finding of fault was found,” flied in the face of reason. To suggest that the village imparted monies neglectfully from our taxpayer dollars as dole to anything is grounds for a taxpayer lawsuit. They are charged with the responsibility of prudent and responsible management of our resources. Your editor would do well to assume that even though a party asserts something as factual doesn’t mean that it is.

factor for teen drivers, especially those who speed? Teens still have the lowest seat belt use of any age group, and crash statistics show that six out of every 10 teen drivers who were killed in crashes were not wearing their seat belts. It’s probably safe to say that teens who are seriously injured in crashes also tend not be buckled up. The experts say that buckling up with lap/shoulder belts can decrease the risk of dying in a crash by 45%. So what’s a parent to do? A good starting point, according to CHOP, is to lead by example—you need to always following posted speeding limits. Talk with your teen about the dangers of speeding, and make sure that you include “always follow posted speed limits” and “always buckle up” as two of the driving rules which you set with your teen driver. Remember, YOU as the parent have control of your teen’s license until he or she is 18 years old—you are the cosigner on your teen’s license. And as the cosigner, YOU are liable for any damages resulting from your teen’s driving. So you can remind your teen that if he or she doesn’t following your driving rules, you can take away the driving privileges—and that driving is not a right—it is a privilege which parents grant to teens. Please do your part to help keep our roads safer in Brown County, and hopefully, this Homecoming event will be a very good memory for your teen for years to come!

Patrol reminds drivers to obey the posted speed limit Young drivers speed and crash more than any other age group Excessive speed reduces reaction time and increases the severity of traffic crashes. That is why the Ohio State Highway Patrol is urging all motorists to obey the posted speed limit and to drive within their abilities. In 2011, 30 percent of all fatal crashes were caused by speed-related factors – killing 479 people and injuring 72,536 more. The Patrol wants drivers to remember that with a higher rate of speed, the greater the risk of serious injury or death in a crash. In 2011, the second leading cause of fatal crashes was improper lane change/improper passing/drove of the road – accounting for 13 percent of all fatal crashes. “Excessive speed greatly reduces a driver’s ability to negotiate an unexpected

Pretty soon our local high schools will be holding their annual basketball Homecoming weekends, so it’s another good time for parents to talk with their teens about safe driving. In the past we’ve discussed the “Eight Danger Zones” for teen driving safety: driving inexperience, driving with teen passengers, nighttime driving, not using seat belts, distracted driving, drowsy driving, reckless driving, and impaired/drunk driving. When you talk about reckless driving in particular, you definitely have to include speeding. Motor vehicle crashes are THE leading cause of death for teenagers in America (5000 to 6000 teenage deaths every year). According to the Allstate Foundation, the fatal crash rates among 16 to 19-yearolds is now four times that of older drivers. And speeding (or going too fast for the road conditions) is a major cause of teen traffic deaths and serious injuries. So per the request of Lt. Randy McElfresh, Commander of the Ohio State PatrolGeorgetown Post and Brown County Safe Communities member, we’re going to talk about teens and speed here. First of all, why does speeding lead to bad crashes? Well, speeding increases the stopping distance you need to avoid a collision even as it decreases the amount of time you need to avoid a collision. Speed also

Sardinia Council to re-negotiate fire contracts with Eagle Township Trustees CMYK
BY Martha B. Jacob The Brown County Press Eagle Township Trustee Joe Purdy met with the Sardinia Village Council January14 in hopes of revising the fire/EMS contract that the township has with the village. “I’m here to discuss a small issue we have with the fire contracts with the Village of Sardinia,” he began, “ Eagle is a split township, Winchester covers from Rt 62 East and Sardinia covers Rt. 62 west to the truck stop. He continued, “The current contracts that we have with Sardinia uses estimates. We have two millages that brings in an estimated $10,000 for fire and EMS coverage. One is for $3,000 and the other generates $7,000 which is split between the fire department and the EMS services.” Purdy went on to tell council that the millage that comes in to the township, is split between Sardinia and Winchester. He asked if any of the money goes to the EMS. Sardinia Mayor Todd Bumbalough told Purdy that the funds only went to the fire department not the EMS. He explained that none of village money goes to the EMS since they are not a part of the village. “The life squad (EMS) should have their own contract with you,” Bumbalough said. Purdy told council that the Winchester EMS had approached the trustees and wanted a contract signed. Councilman John Hudepohl asked Purdy why this matter was now an issue since it hadn’t been in the past? “Well, now the squads want a contract with us that we’ve never had in the past,” Purdy responded. Solicitor Jay Cutrell told Purdy that it was his understanding that the squad bills for their own runs. “So what they’re wanting from you,” Cutrell said

directly to Purdy, “they want to be your designated squad. So they bill their recipients for their own services. Keep in mind, that we (the Village of Sardinia) don’t bill the township for services. “Once you sign a contract with us, we’re giving you 100 percent. Now, what’s happening is that the squads are trying to change things. They’re saying that they want a lock on your territory, and they want you to pay them something. They they’re going to bill the insurance companies and bill the recipients of the services and now they’re asking you to pay us less.” Cutrell told Purdy that this plan did not set too well with the village of Sardinia. Purdy told council that he was just beginning negotiations and he wanted to get all his information together before any decisions were made. Cutrell explained that just because something is listed on the ballot as fire and EMS, it does not necessarily mean the funds have to be split that way. He said because the EMS does their own billing, Sardinia had no plans to split
the funds. Purdy said that the current contract with Sardinia is based on estimates of what the total millage will be and he didn’t think the money amount to the village would change too much. Bumbalough explained the issue to council, the way he understood it, “With the contract we have with the township, we’ve got the dollar amount $10,000. They have to pay us that amount each year. “But their millage brings in additional money on top of that. And with the percentage thing, we put 50% in because their area is divided between us and Winchester. We get 50% of the additional money and Winchester gets 50%. “So now, with the squads coming to them wanting money they want to take the 50% and divide it up evenly among the four entities that provide them with services.” Cutrell said he would take a good look at the current contract and report back to council. Bumbalough placed the issue in the safety committee for more discussion. In other business at the meeting, council had sec-

ond readings on two ordinances revising rates and charges for out-of-town water and sewer customers of the Village of Sardinia. The water and sewer rates were discussed as separate ordinances. Sardinia resident Georgic Belcher approached council regarding the discussed 120% increase in out-of-town water and sewer customers. Bumbalough stated that letters explaining everything about the increase were going out every day explaining how being annexed into the village would save customers money. “One of my concerns is the city tax that you have to pay once we’ve been annexed in,” Belcher explained. Village Administrator Tim Mock told Belcher that the tax was only one penny on each dollar of earned income. Mary Bradford, fiscal officer for Washington Township, also in attendance of the meeting, told Mock that she was there to personally sign her form for annexation. She told Belcher that the annexation into the village was a good move for everyone and called it a win/win proposition. In other business at the meeting council heard a report from Chief of Police Jim Lewis who reported that his department responded 165 calls last year. Fire Chief Chris Shumacher later asked council to approve a membership for his department to an Adams County organization at a cost of $800. The organization would offer mandated training sessions to his firefighters throughout the year. Council approved the $800 for membership.

Through a special grant obtained by UCAN (United Coalition for Animals), the Brown County Humane Society will be offering a low cost spay and neuter for dogs in the 45121 zip code area, according to humane society president Leslie Zureick. Thanks to a grant from PetSmart Charities®, UCAN can offer this service for only $25 per dog, for up to a total of 264 dogs in the Georgetown area. “We have been working with UCAN on this grant and are very excited about being able to offer it to Georgetown dog owners,” Zureick said. “It also includes a rabies vaccine if it’s needed.” UCAN is an Ohio nonprofit, 501 (c) (3) charitable organization formed in 2001. Its mission is to end the unnecessary deaths of healthy and treatable cats and dogs in shelters in Greater Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky and Southeastern Indiana. Over 70,000 puppies and kittens are born each day in the U.S., over half of which are unintended litters. As a result, every year, millions of cats and dogs end up in shelters and over 4 million of them are euthanized. According to Melanie Corwin, executive director of UCAN, “We really hope pet owners in the 45121 area will take advantage of this significantly discounted spay/neuter fee to help re-

(21) And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; (22) And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. (23) And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. (24) Therefore shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.” There is a oneness involved in marriage; this oneness should bring with it unity and harmony. We find this again in the New Testament in Ephesians 5:21-32: “Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.” So you see, there should be a similarity between the relationship of a husband and wife and the relationship of Christ and the church. However, we are living in a day when our society is not very kind to marriages. In fact, it is generally anti-marriage. People view it as just a

“Bible thing”. So they want to forget marriage along with the Bible. We have tossed it out of our schools, our court houses, and in many cases out of our homes. We do not need the Bible in America anymore; or so the general consensus goes. America is telling God: We do not need You anymore! Consequently, they live like there is no God, no Bible, and no principles! But ladies and gentlemen, the same principles that apply to a marriage, God said applies to a church. Verse 31 of Ephesians 5 says that a man should leave his father and mother and be joined unto his wife and they two should be one flesh. In verse 32 it says that this is a great mystery but it is speaking of Christ and the church! There is that oneness, that unity, that should be in a church. It should be one in sharing both the joy and the burdens of life. There should be no division; it should be one body working together. Satan is working hard to destroy the unity in both marriages and churches. If he can mess up a marriage, he can be successful in messing up a whole new generation who will probably mess up a succeeding generation. Where is the mess going to stop? We need to separate ourselves from the world and get back to the principles of God in both of these institutions. God deserves that and our children deserve that. Sanctify and preservation is what marriage is all about. God instituted marriage; new life was to come from it. It should be sacred and holy and so should the church. We should love one another, support one another, and act as one unit working together for what is right before God! We should never forget that the church is the bride of Christ! As the church is to be one body in Christ, the home is to be one body in unity.

including: • 412 citations; • 340 warnings; • 109 offense/incident reports; • 8 crash reports; •97 felony/misdemeanor arrests. His department generated $55,822 in total mayor’s court revenue. “I’ve talked a little bit with Mayor (Veronica) Gelter about replacing at least one of our cruisers,” Chief Clark said to council, “I will need approval from council. The way I see it, we are breaking even right now in our department, but if at the end of the year our mayor’s court revenue goes up to, lets say, $65,000, we really need to look into getting another vehicle.” Clark told council that one of his departments vehicle was in the shop in December and now has to go back in the shop and another car that needs to go in next month for some work. He asked if any extra money could be funneled back into a fund for a new vehicle instead of going into the general fund. He added that he is exploring grant funds for vehicle purchase. He said they needed a plan in place, even if it’s a plan to lease a vehicle. Currently the vehicles owned by his department are 2003 and 2005 models. Council said they would discuss the issue more at the next meeting. Later in the meeting Mayor Gelter reported to council that the village had received two notifications of violations from the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (OEPA) on its sewer system. “The first violation had to do with the discharging of the lagoons,” Gelter began, “And the response that John Van Harlingen (owner of H2o Company, tests water for the village) gave to the EPA for us was that the levee discharging is undertaken when the upstream creek flow is greater than .05 ngd and the lagoon discharge valve is set at a rate of 5 to 1 dilution.” She continued, “Mr. Van Harlingen asked if we would consider putting a dialer there that would automatically call him up whenever the creek flow is enough to discharge.” The cost to the village for the dialer would be approximately $2,200 installed, according to sewer maintenance worker Jim Griffith. Gelter added that there would be an additional expense for a cell phone. Gelter went on to explain how the dialer would work and it was suggested by Griffith that after the dialer calls out, someone in the village should also be notified every time the dialer calls Van Harlingen. Following the conversation, Gelter told council that she would invite Mr. Van Harlingen to the next council meeting for a question and answer session. “The second EPA violation was a fluent disinfection standard, which we failed,” she continued. “We were told, that on that violation we have to hire an engineer to correct it. So lets not do anything at this meeting and wait until the next meeting and talk more about it to Mr. Van Harlingen and sewer committee.” Council discussed briefly an issue in the village where four houses were using only one grinder pump and Griffith said he would be installing another larger tank

with two control panels which would resolve the problem of over-use. Sherri Neu, with Russellville EMS, gave a list of construction issues her department was having at the new firehouse. High winds had ripped the 10 foot awning off the front of the building after being in place for only about a month. There was some concern over who was responsible for replacing the awning. Other issues included doors being off track, problems with outside door cylinders, overhead door, door closers, garage doors and reframing needed in the bay area. Neu told council that the building should be completely finished in about two weeks. Fire Chief Matt Neu told council that his department was in serious need of two new vehicles. He was concerned for the safety of his firefighters when driving the 1980 and 1985 vehicles, one of which was having serious brake problems. Neu said he would like to purchase a truck with a crew cab so that more firefighters could travel to a call as opposed to each firefighter driving to the scene. He also said that the two vehicles in question will no longer pass mandated state codes and if the village loan could be

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 can continue with this kind of care”, Phillips said. Phillips said the stroke robot program will be monitored at the Comprehensive Stroke Center at UC by a team of 17 physicians who are stroke specialists. The stroke team consists of UC physicians and health professionals dedicated to providing rapid diagnosis and treatment of stroke patients. Information provided at the ribbon cutting said that the national stroke rate is 54 per 100,000. In Brown County 30 residents died from a stroke each year from 2004-2006, and more than 26% of adults reporting high blood pressure had previously had a stroke during 2004-2007 according to SWRMC. Following the ribbon cutting, Kimmel introduced Nancy Dalpiaz, account manager with InTouch Health Support Team at UC Medical Center. Dalpiaz gave a brief demonstration on how the stroke robot works. “This robot will help extend the reach of the expertise of this stroke team of specialists to rural area hospitals like Southwest Regional,” Dalpiaz began. “This device is called an RP Light. It’s a cart-based model. “Basically whenever a patient comes into the hospital here in Georgetown, and they are exhibiting signs of a stroke, a nurse would immediately contact the UC Health Stroke team. Each of the physicians have a lap top with an icon on them which they click to automatically connect them with Southwest Regional and their face will appear on the robot.” She pointed out two lens’ on the robot, one a wide angle lens which allows the
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 On the last page, Varnau writes “My main concern is knowingly breaking the chain of custody on crime scene evidence by turning over confidential evidence to an unqualified “civilian” or one of his illegallysworn deputies that are not legitimate Ohio peace officers-by law.” Kevin McIver, the Chief of the Opinions section of the Attorney General’s office, sent a one page reply, dated January 15. He replied, “At the county government level Attorney General DeWine issues written opinions on questions of law to the prosecuting attorney only. We do not provide opinions to the other elected officials of county government, for which the prosecuting attorney is designated legal counsel.” The letter continues, “Further, the decision of the Ohio Supreme Court in State ex rel. Varnau vs Wenninger...affirming the denial of a quo warranto writ to oust the Brown County Sheriff from office confirms the legality of his service as county sheriff.” Regarding Varnau’s concern about turning over firearms to Wenninger, McIver writes, “in fulfilling your responsibilities... to deliver firearms to the county sheriff, you will be insulated from charges of malfeasance, misfeasance or nonfeasance.” Wenninger has requested that Varnau provide a written statement to his office that she agrees that the sheriff’s office policy on death scene procedure meets with her approval. At press time, Varnau had declined to do so. Wenninger said in light of the letter to the Attorney General’s office, he was requesting that an emergency meeting be held between himself, Schadle, Varnau, Brown County Prosecutor Jessica Little and Common Pleas Court Judge Scott Gusweiler. “We can’t move forward without written confirmation that we agree on procedure”, said Wenninger. Regarding death scene policy, Wenninger said “We are still going to go by the law, but I want something from her in writing that we are all on the same page. Right now, her word isn’t very good.” When asked about the working relationship between the sheriff’s office and the coroners’s office, Wenninger said “No matter what her feelings are,

The monitor began moving right to left as if looking around the room. In a box at the bottom of the screen, everyone in the room could see what she was seeing as well as her face. Haas showed how she could zoom in on a gentleman in the crowd from 10 feet away. She said in the same way she could view ex-rays, CAT scans, and any numbers run from the radiology department. Members of the crowd seemed to be very impressed with the capabilities of the robot. Several commented that it was as if the person was right in the
room. According to Dalpiaz the robot will bring the following benefits to Southwest Regional Hospital: • provide 24/7 consultation with UC Stroke Team physicians; • enable the sharing of clinical protocols; • provide access to UC clinical trials; • facilitate transfer for emergent cases requiring intervention; • facilitate care close to home for patients who do not absolutely need to be transferred; • enable partner hospitals to pursue primary stroke center designation. “Our patients here at Southwestern Regional will now be receiving the most advanced care available,” Phillips said. Phillips also challenged everyone in the room to help the staff come up with a name for the robot. The winner of the name contest will win a $50 gift certificate.
Former wildlife officers Ritchie sentenced to probation pleads not guilty CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 The Misuse of Property plea stems from Roberts using a state vehicle to transport a Muzzleloader that was intended for personal use. “I’m sorry for the events that happened and I’m ready to start over”, Roberts told Gusweiler. Roberts also had 30 days in jail suspended by the judge. David Warner submitted the “no contest” pleas to charges of Obstructing Official Business, a second degree misdemeanor and Unauthorized Use of Property, a fourth degree misdemeanor on Nov. 19 of last year. He must pay the Ohio Department of Natural Resources $708.76 in restitution.
Warner was also sentenced to 120 days in jail by Gusweiler, with all 120 days suspended. He is also required to testify truthfully in matters involving David Graham and Todd Haines. Graham is the former Director of the Ohio Division of Wildlife and Haines is currently employed by the ODNR. The two, along with current ODNR employee Michelle Ward-Tackett and former employees Randy Miller and James Lehman, are currently facing charges in connection with the lack of discipline imposed on former ODNR Officer Alan Wright. The case is currently pending before the Ohio Supreme Court, which is not expected to rule until 2013.

Burrows leaving WB for G’Town CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 that in his office at Western he had reductions of at least eight employees which made his job more difficult than when he first started. He said he was excited when he talked to Georgetown’s board last week, about the work that Georgetown has already started. “I look forward to doing that kind of work again here at Georgetown,” he added. “I also look forward to working with this board here. I feel like this is the right move for me and my family at this time.” Burrows said that he had talked with Mr. Durbin in October, last year, and he knew that this opportunity might be coming up but at that time it just didn’t feel like it was the right time. “I actually said I wasn’t interested in coming at that time,” Burrows said, “then in the last couple of weeks I contacted Tom (Durbin) to see if I had burnt bridges.” Durbin said Georgetown board members had started the interview process for a new superintendent back in October. Burrows added that he
told the Western Brown board that he was willing to stay as long as they needed him to finish whatever he needed to finish. Burrows said he suggested 30 days to his board, but the decision will ultimately be the board members. Durbin said that he too would stay as long as his board needed him to stay. The Georgetown board approved two resolutions. The first was a contract from the point Burrows is released from Western until July 31, 2013, then a second resolution was approved for a contract for Burrows from August 1, 2013 until July 31, 2016. Burrows received a salary of $94,000 from Western Brown. At press time, Burrows said that his salary with Georgetown was not finalized yet, but that he expected it to be structured as a base salary plus incentives paid if the district accomplishes certain goals. Burrows said that the total of his base salary and incentives would not total over $100,000.
I’m going to do whatever is in my power and legally right to give the citizens the best service possible.” Ohio Revised Code gives Coroners broad power at death scenes. The coroner can decide how large the death scene is, what is contained in it and when it can be released to law enforcement for investigation. “We need a permissive order from the coroner to remove anything from the scene. I don’t want my people afraid they are going to be charged with a crime for doing their jobs”, Schadle said. If someone violates a death scene, they can be charged with a fourth degree misdemeanor. Little has examined the procedures that the sheriffs office has outlined for death scenes and determined that the policy is in compliance with state law. Schadle is still concerned about the working relationship between the two offices saying that without a written agreement to fall back on, Varnau could change her mind at any time at a death scene. “We don’t need to be at these scenes nitpicking back and forth for political gain”, Schadle said. “We need to work out a procedure that everyone agrees with and stick to it.” Varnau has said that she is not required to approve the policies of another agency. “It’s not my place to sign off on someone elses procedures”, Varnau said. “I’m responsible for my office and they are responsible for theirs.” With the assistance of Little, a Memorandum of Understanding on death scene procedure was signed between Varnau and Schadle on Dec. 30. The agreement attempted to address the
need for a “permissive order” from the Coroner to allow law enforcement officers access to death scenes. It states in part “...both the Coroner and the Sheriff agree that this permissive order is given for these death scenes and the sheriff’s investigation can proceed immediately, with the understanding that the “body” cannot be moved or disturbed other than a good-faith effort to render life-saving assistance. Both the Coroner and he Sheriff agree that no police officer, deputy sheriff, fireman, emergency medical tech or member of any emergency response team will be held accountable by criminal means or otherwise in the performance of their duties.” Varnau withdrew from the Memorandum of Understanding on Jan. 1 after visiting a death scene. In an e-mail to Schadle, Varnau wrote “There is no need to change any duties between organizations with regard to death scenes. The only change I can identify that is necessary...is that no one is to disturb the corpse until after the coroner examines it and determines the cause and manner of death. The coroner is not a law enforcement officer.” Varnau has named Dr. Barbara Patridge as Deputy Coroner and retired Ripley Police Officer Don Newman as her investigator. She sent an e-mail to the Brown County Press regarding her office that states in part “The coroner’s office is here to assist law enforcement, fire and EMS personnel while being supported through their efforts in return...My office is sincerely here to cooperate as a “team player” for any agency requesting our presence at death scenes.”

Flu season is no big deal so far CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Since the number of cases is not as high as in other counties, health officials believe it is because many people are receiving the flu vaccine. “Even though the state and the media are reporting that the flu is epidemic, even the health department said that within the county they’ve only seen about 20 cases, and I know that we have been very aggressive in the county with flu vaccine in the sense that we’ve done clinics and the health department has educated the public very well,” said Otto. Even though the flu season has just started, experts say that it just might get worse, especially if people have not taken the shot yet. “The more people are around each other and kids in schools, which we had a few kids of our numbers have been reported so I really encourage parents to keep their kids at home if their sick until their fever’s gone for 24 hours after their fever with no Tylenol or anything,” said Spiller. Experts advise people to
not only get the flu vaccine, but also be aware of what is included in an influenza shot and to pay attention to personal hygiene. “I think when H1N1 came a few years ago, everyone was up to date on what to do. I know that the schools had hand gel everywhere and everyone had awareness of how important that was because everyone really didn’t understand what H1N1 was until with the part of the flu vaccine now and the past few years have included that,” said Otto. Spiller also had advice for those who are looking to stay healthy. “Flu shot, number one, then they need to be careful. Wash their hands, cover their mouth when they cough and sneeze, you know cough into their arms or sleeves. Extra cleaning or Lysoling and limit their out and about, you know gatherings if they can for contact,” said Spiller.

B R O A D S H E E T
The Mount-Up Motorcycle Ministry of the Georgetown Church of Christ held its 6th Annual “Toy Run” on Saturday, December 8, 2012. With the help of the community and other motorcycle ministries, hundreds of toys were collected and given to both the Pregnancy Resource Center in Georgetown and the Foster Care Program of Brown County through the office of Jobs and Family Services. Members of Mount-Up met with various friends to collect toys throughout the
Georgetown area, including Boy Scout Troop 629, Steel Horse Ministries, and Riders for Christ Ministries. Although the weather did not allow the bikers to ride, they visited local businesses that allowed a collection bin to be placed in their stores throughout the holiday season, including CVS Pharmacy, Dollar General (Georgetown and Hamersville), and Family Dollar. After collecting the toys, the group returned to the church for homemade chili, sand-
wiches and cookies. Members of the Georgetown Church of Christ also donated toys for this ministry. Mount-Up Ministry would like to thank everyone who donated toys this year. It was the largest accumulation of toys in the six years of the “Toy Run.” Anyone seeking more information about MountUp Motorcycle Ministry call the Georgetown Church of Christ office at (937) 378-3309 MondayFriday between 8:30 a.m. 4:30 p.m.

Net income increased primarily due to increased non-interest income of approximately $817,000 and reduced noninterest expenses of approximately $1.6 million, offset by a decline in net interest income and in-
creased provision for loan losses. Net income for the fourth quarter of 2012 was $1.1 million, or $.32 per share, compared to $617,000, or $.18 per share, for the fourth quarter of 2011. President & CEO, John Limbert, commented, “We increased net income for the year 2%, while simultaneously reducing problem assets 24%. It was a yearlong effort with several of the larger resolutions finally occurring in the fourth quarter.”

gram. For some, that prior experience translated directly to the new job for which they were training, such as precision competencies that are useful in quality control or inspection and a talent for drawing that relates directly to computer-aided design (CAD). All graduates were from the southwest region of the state and are now working full time as machinists at Milacron. “We have been looking for machine operators for quite a while without much success. And with a number of retirements on the horizon, we needed some out-of-the-box thinking to have our workforce prepared for the future. This program fits our needs perfectly; the model helped us to quickly close the skills gap we have been experiencing. It has far exceeded our initial expectations,” said Jim Kinzie, Plant Manager of Milacron’s Mt. Orab, Ohio facility. This program demonstrates a push, on behalf of both Milacron and UC Clermont, to revitalize the eastern corridor of Southwestern Ohio by extending its long history of manufacturing and creating sustainable career paths for the people who call the region home. UC Clermont worked closely with Milacron to customize the curriculum to meet Milacron’s needs. The college also secured a grant that is funding additional equipment, helping make the program viable

The program is in direct alignment with the trend toward scalable education. Learn, work, learn some more. We educate people to get them working and then help them advance their careers through a lifelong learning approach,” said Glenda Neff, Director, Outreach Services, UC East. The partnership is wellsuited to Milacron's strong presence in southwestern Ohio, with two of its largest production facilities located in Batavia and Mt. Orab. Over 800 of Milacron's 2,800-plus worldwide employees reside within the Greater Cincinnati / Eastern corridor area. Graduates of the customized program took classes in CAD, Lean Manufacturing, Principles of Machining and Shop Floor Mathematics. These courses can be directly applied to an associate’s degree program through the University of Cincinnati. In turn, that associate's degree can be directly applied towards a Bachelor of Applied Administration - a unique educational opportunity for employees who may want to move into management positions. The current class began on Jan. 14 with 10 more participants, and a third class is planned for fall 2013.

THE BROWN COUNTY PRESS
Lady Rockets defense carries them past Western Brown BY Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press Making, or missing, a shot can come down to the smallest of details. Go through the shooting motion too quickly, it’s a miss. Feet set just eschewed, a miss. Having a defender’s hand in your face makes it tough to hit a shot, too. To put it simply, making a shot comes down to finding just enough space to shoot the ball in a way any one player has spent years repeating over and again. So when a matchup features teams the caliber of the Western Brown and Fayetteville girls basketball teams, making shots is never going to be an easy task. When all was said and done both teams had done some fine defensive work but one, the visiting Lady Rockets, had done just a little more. Employing a box-andone defense centered on Lady Broncos guard/forward Kylie Garrett, the Lady Rockets greatly slowed down a Lady Bronco offense averaging a little over 56 points per game to the tune of just a 25 percent shooting night. And though they didn’t
have their best shooting night, either, the Lady Rockets scored four quick points to open an eight point lead early in the third quarter and never looked back as they picked up a 43-31 win on Tuesday night at Western Brown. “We played great defense – we held them to 15 points in the first half,” Fayetteville coach Toby Sheets said after the game. “I’d say whatever defense you’re doing… that’s outstanding defense.” As well as the Lady Rockets played defensively in the first half, the Lady Broncos trailed by just four points as the third quarter began because they, too, played a solid defensive half. The problem, for both teams, was they just couldn’t make many shots. Each of the respective defenses played a large part in that but so to did the fact that both teams missed some makeable shots. “In all four quarters we left a lot of points out there. We got a lot of looks that we wanted in high scoring areas,” Western Brown coach Kyle Fender said. “When you’re playing Fayetteville, their defense is always on your mind. And so, maybe, you don’t
realize you have as much time as you do.” Things started to change, at least for the visitors, as the second half got underway. Not surprisingly, the changed was initiated by the Lady Rockets defense. On the Lady Broncos first two offensive trips of the half, Fayetteville’s boxand-one defense worked just as it was drawn up. Both possessions ended with a Megan Eyre steal of Garrett in the post and back-to-back transition layups from her Lady Rocket teammate Makayla Rosselot. The second bas-
ket gave the Lady Rockets a 23-15 lead just 1:19 into the half. “Our transition defense was great in the first half,” Fender said. “We got away from that in the second half. We got very undisciplined as the game went on.” The Lady Rockets extended the lead to 10, 2616, with 5:16 left in the quarter when Eyre hit one of two free throws. Over the course of the next few minutes, the Lady Broncos -- who were playing the final game of a tough four game stretch
that included win over talented Ripley, North Adams and Georgetown squads -started to find a little traction offensively. Baskets from Garrett, Taylor Henry and Hannah Wiesenhahn on three straight possessions cut the Fayetteville lead to eight each time. But each Western Brown shot was answered by a Fayetteville basket, specifically by Lincoln Smyth. The sophomore center, who was seeing her first action since dislocating her kneecap in a loss to Georgetown on Dec. 28,
scored the final seven Lady Rockets points of the third quarter, including a 3pointer with 52 seconds left that gave the Lady Rockets a 33-22 lead heading into the fourth quarter. “The 3-pointer was huge, I thought,” Sheets said of Smyth’s scoring. “And inside, Alex (Carson) got her the ball a couple times (and she scored). Her presence is needed.” Smyth, who dropped in a team-best 13 points and grabbed 12 rebounds, converted near the basket to open the final quarter CONTINUED ON PAGE 15

EASTGATE-- Just minutes after watching his depleted Georgetown girls basketball team hold off a late charge from Glen Este to pick up a 40-38 win on Monday night, Bernie Cropper couldn’t hide just how proud he was of his team. The longtime Lady GMen coach’s smile spoke volumes to just how he felt about his team’s performance in knocking off a talented Division I team on their home court, especially on the heels of their second loss to county rival Western Brown in just two weeks last Thursday night. It was a performance that may have been the Lady G-Men’s best of the season, with all six players who saw action contributing to the win on both ends of the floor. As good as the Lady GMen played offensively, however, it was their defensive performance that earned them the win. The Lady Trojans, a good outside shooting team, hit a few shots early and built a six point lead a little more than midway through the second quarter before the Lady G-Men really stepped up their play. The Lady G-Men held their hosts to just one point over the next 11 minutes and 40 seconds and seized a lead they would never relinquish despite a late Glen Este rally in picking up their 12th win of the sea-

son. “Great defensive effort,” Cropper said. “They’re a hard team to guard. “I think we did a tremendous job of containing the basketball. Obviously there were a few breakdowns but we kept the ball in front (and) we were smart about who we were guarding.” Early on the Lady GMen didn’t play poorly but a few times they didn’t get out to put a hand in the face of the Lady Trojans talented shooters. By the time Hannah Carson hit her third 3-pointer of the first half with 3:40 left before halftime, the

Georgetown’s Becca Whitaker looks to convert at the basket in the fourth quarter of the Lady G-Men’s win over Glen Este on Monday night.
Lady Trojans had built a 23-17 lead. Their chances for a victory suddenly on the brink, the Lady G-Men responded on both ends of the floor. They completely shut down the Lady Trojan offense after Carson’s ‘three’ and began to find success on the offensive end of the floor once again. A pair of Madison Pack free throws started a string of what would be three straight possessions on which the Lady G-Men would score as they fought back to tie the game at 23 by halftime. Baskets from Dawnya Keith and Megan Hatfield completed the trio of successful possessions for the Lady G-Men. “That was big, right before half,” Cropper said. “They had a chance to maybe extend it to 10. We did a good job of stopping them and hit some big, key shots. We were right there at halftime. We were feeling pretty good about ourselves.” The Lady G-Men rode the momentum they took into half into the third quarter, particularly on the defensive end of the floor. Playing mostly out of a halfcourt, man-to-man defense, the Lady G-Men seemed to have knocked the Lady Trojans out of whack. Against a Georgetown defense that was right in the ball handlers face and that switched on nearly every screen, Glen Este struggled to find good shots. Their only chances at points in the quarter came
at the free throw line. They got to the line three time but Lindsey Singleton and Katie Gaskill combined to make just one of six free throws. “We were able to key on the right people,” Cropper said. “The kids really smart as far, again, who their shooters were, who we had to contain and they just did a tremendous job of team defense.” But the Lady G-Men could never pull away as they scored just five points in that third quarter, with the last two points on a Pack jumper that was banked in right before the quarter buzzer to give the Lady G-Men a 28-24 lead. Another Carson 3pointer to open the final quarter got the Lady Trojans within one point before Keith converted a three point play on the block and Becca Whitaker hit a pull up jumper to push the Lady G-Men back ahead by six, 33-27. Georgetown held that lead for much of the final quarter until, with about a minute and a half left, the Lady Trojans cut the lead to two, 37-35, on back-toback layups. But the resilient Lady GMen never wavered as Whitaker stepped up to hit a pair of free throws with 49 seconds left before teammate Morgan Gast, who scored 10 of her teambest 11 points in the first quarter and a half to keep the Lady G-Men in the game early on, hit another. Glen Este’s Jessie Brenes hit a 3-pointer with eight seconds left to keep the hosts lingering around and Gaskill got a chance at the win from halfcourt right before the buzzer but her shot was off target and the Lady G-Men held on for a win that had their coach feeling awful happy. “This is what you love about athletics,” Cropper explained. “Something goes against you, you can quit or you pick yourself up and get ready to play. You can imagine how proud I am of these kids.” Georgetown (12-2) 40 Pack 1 3 5, Hatfield 4 0 8, Gast 4 1 11, Whitaker 1 2 4, Carrington 2 0 4, Keith 2 4 8. Totals: 14 10 40.

Lawson decides on Wheeling Jesuit BY Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press Chase Lawson’s hard work and given talent on the basketball court presented the senior Eastern basketball player with a difficult decision last November as his final high school season on the hardwood was set to begin. The 6-foot-2 senior combo guard, a two-time Southern Hills League AllLeague selection and a Second Team All-Southeast District pick a year ago, had a plethora of suitors to help him reach his goal of playing collegiate basketball. When all was said and done, though, Lawson stuck with what he knew and decided to sign to play basketball for Division II Wheeling Jesuit University in Wheeling, WV. “Their style of play is really similar to the style (Eastern coach Rob Beucler) plays,” Lawson explained of his decision after a 34 point, 15 rebound performance in a win over Peebles on Jan. 8. “They do a lot of sets and halfcourt things. When they have to run, they run. If they don’t, they do a lot of sets. (They’re) a shooting oriented team.” The decision to play for Wheeling Jesuit didn’t come easy as Lawson drew plenty of attention from college coaches. During his junior campaign a year ago, Lawson said he was getting interest from several lower Division I schools, mostly MidAmerican Conference teams and a few small schools from New York. He said he got offers from the New York schools and visited Division I schools Eastern Kentucky and Toledo but those didn’t pan out for a couple of reasons. “I just had an off school
last year,” Lawson said. “They kind of fell off and had people commit and stuff like that. That’s what I went to Division II. I like the style of play.” His decision came down to two Division II schools, Wheeling Jesuit and their West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference combatant West Liberty. Though Wheeling Jesuit seemed to be the choice, the way West Liberty plays piqued Lawson’s interest. Not only was West Liberty very successful, they averaged over 100 points a game. This season, as of Jan. 6, West Liberty is scoring 115.1 points per game and sits as the No. 1 team in Division II basketball. In the end, though, Lawson felt the most comfortable playing for Wheeling Jesuit, who are plenty successful themselves. Lawson thinks he’ll play a guard or wing position for the Cardinals, who finished 22-10 a year ago under coach Danny Sancomb and beat a No. 1-ranked West Liberty team to hand them their lone WVIAC loss before earning the school’s first ever NCAA Division II Tournament win. “Chase is one of the best high school shooters I have seen in all my years coaching,” Sancomb said in a press release. “His shooting ability and basketball IQ will fit in very well with our style of play.” Signing his letter of intent a week before his senior season was not only fulfilling but it was a relief for the four-year Warriors varsity player. “It was a big relief,” he said. “I was looking for it from the start of the end of my sophomore year, actually. I was working all the way up those couple years and then finally being able to reach the goal to sign and get the scholarship over with and move on.”
Western Brown Jr. High grapplers earn two titles The Western Brown Jr. High wrestling team had a very strong week on the mats a week ago. It all got underway last Wednesday, Jan. 9, when the Broncos beat Glen Este in the ‘Battle for 32’ by a score of 66-24. The win was the first for the Broncos during their series with Glen Este and helped them claim the trav-
eling sign that stays with the champion. Then, last Saturday, the Broncos took home the title at the Wilmington Jr. High Tournament. The Broncos took home the top spot in the 13 team tournament by amassing 209 points. Washington Court House finished second with 189.5 points. Wilmington
(137) was third while Talawanda was fourth and Hillsboro (127.5) was fifth. The title was the second tournament title of the year for the Broncos and the fourth time they’ve come home with a trophy. Leading the way for Western Brown was it’s four tournament champions. Seth Taylor, Brandon
Lucas, Jimmy Hollins and Jake Henderson each won their respective weight classes. Also placing for the Broncos were Ryan Obermyer and Steven Grooms (second place); Jed Marlow, Austin Brooks and Noah Hill (third place); and Davey Stamper, Ryan Osborne, Justin Morgan and Destiny Meyer.

Stingy defense helps Lady G-Men to big win
The Brown County Press - Sunday, January 20, 2013 - Page 15

BY Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press LYNCHBURG-- For the final two or so quarters last Friday night at LynchburgClay, the Fayetteville boys basketball team played well enough to win. Unfortunately for the Rockets, that opening quarter and a half or so was just too much to overcome. The host Mustangs used their size advantage to build a 16 point lead late in the first half before the Rockets surged back in the final 1:12 of the first half to make it a game but the deficit proved to be too much to overcome as the Rockets lost their fourth straight game, 66-57. “We didn’t rebound well in the first quarter. They got up, you know, three or four shots at it,” Fayetteville coach Darryl Iles said. “We didn’t body up. We didn’t, you know, box out. That’s what we talked about. We just didn’t come to play in the first quarter. They basically beat us in the first quarter.” Helping the hosts jump ahead on the scoreboard early on was the play of Mustangs center Alec Smith. The big man scored six points in the opening quarter as he controlled the glass on both ends of the floor. Smith, who finished with 20 points and 14 rebounds (nine offensive), were able to dominate the board early because the Rockets were missing two key cogs in their frontcourt. Starting center James Decatur picked up two quick fouls and was forced to the bench for the rest of the half just 2:16 into the game. But maybe just as important was the absence of starting power forward Nick Durham, who missed the game with an injury he suffered late in the Rockets loss to Eastern on Jan. 4. Iles said Durham is expected to be back in the coming weeks. “They had a couple big guys, there, that was a handful inside,” Iles said. But it wasn’t just Smith who did damage on the offensive boards. Eight of the Mustangs final 11 points of the opening quarter came off of second or third

chances as the hosts built a 19-8 lead after one quarter. And when Smith combined with fellow Mustang forward Ryan Inman – both taller than any Rocket player – to take advantage of the Rockets dearth of available big men, they combined for seven straight points to open the second quarter and help the Mustangs build a 26-13 lead with about five minutes left before halftime. The Mustangs strong big man play seemed to awaken their teammates, who started to hit shots as the second quarter wore on. A Devin Pierson 3pointer and an Inman and1 helped the Mustangs build a 16 point lead, 3620, with 1:26 left before half. With things looking bleak, the Rockets did what they do best to quickly turn what had the makings of a blowout back into a game. Full court pressure defense set up an 11-0 Fayetteville run over the final 1:12 of the half to cut the Mustang lead to just five, 36-31, by halftime.

Fayetteville’s James Decatur prepares himself to go up for a shot against Lynchburg’s Alec Smith last Friday night.
Much of the damage on the run was done by the Rockets junior point guard D.J. Iles, who scored nine of game-best 28 points during the run. He hit a pair of 3-pointers and completed an and-1 in the final 47 seconds of the half. “We were just making shots,” Iles said. “We pressured and got them to turn it over and we made shots.” The second half started off well for the Rockets when Cole Schaefer was fouled going to the basket and hit one of two free throws to cut their deficit to four, 36-32. Lynchburg answered right back, however, with an Inman jumper and a Smith 3-pointer to push the Mustang lead right back to nine points. That opening sequence began what became a theme in the final 16 minutes. The Rockets cut the Mustangs lead to four one more time in the third quarter and three more times in the final quarter. Each time the Rockets did, though, the Mustangs would answer to push the lead out to eight or nine points. But the Rockets kept inching back, and with 57 seconds left, they closed the gap to three, 60-57, on a Corey Lykins 3-pointer. But, again, the Mustangs answered as they finished off the Rockets by scoring the final six points of the game for the win. “We just couldn’t get those final two stops that we needed when the game was on the line,” Iles said.

Lady Rockets: Defense keys win over WB CONTINUED FROM PAGE 13 before Eyre hit a 3-pointer to open a 15 point lead, 3823, they would not relinquish despite still battling injuries and illness. Starter Ashley Scoggins missed her second straight game with a stomach muscle pull and reserve Emily Burroughs was out sick. With their rotation cut to just six, each Lady Rocket who took the floor added something to the win, whether it was Smyth and Rosselot’s scoring, Claire Carson’s rebounding or Eyre’s strong defensive performance holding Garrett, who averages 19.2 points per game, to 13 points and just three in the second half. “That’s exactly what I just told them in there, that was definitely a team vic-
tory,” Sheets said. “We’ve had games where people have contributed more in different areas but I thought the team bought into the plan, the team worked the plan (and) the team got the win.” Fayetteville (14-1) 43 Rosselot 5 1 11, Eyre 2 3 8, C.

High school basketball roundup Boys Basketball Georgetown picks up victories over two rivals Led by sophomore guards Jacob Miller and Jake Cropper as well as junior forward Bruce-Derrick Williams, the G-Men continued their strong start to the season with wins over county foes Western Brown and Eastern this week. “Both of them are really big games and rivalry games,” Georgetown coach Jerry Underwood said. “It’s nice to see them step up and makes some things happen.” Last Friday night the GMen traveled 12 miles up Rt. 68 to Mt. Orab and beat the host Broncos 63-56 in a hotly contested matchup. The game was tied at 24 at halftime but the G-Men pulled away late by hitting their free throws. Miller, who scored a team-best 27 points, hit 11-12 in the fourth quarter of the win. “We hit our free throws down the stretch and that was the difference,” Underwood said. Williams added 17 points in the win. Then, on Tuesday night, the G-Men (11-1) got a measure of revenge against Eastern by picking up a 7265 win. The G-Men sped the game up late to repay the Warriors for handing them their lone loss this season on Dec. 29. “We tried to go up tempo and get the ball out of their scorers hands,” Underwood said. “It seemed to work.” The tempo was a disruption to the Eastern game plan. “They did well,” Eastern coach Rob Beucler said. “I told the kids if we kept in the 50’s we’d win. They’re a transition team and play better up tempo.” Miller led the way with 23 points while Cropper added 23 and Williams 14 points and 10 rebounds. Nathan Scott led Eastern with 22 points while Chase Lawson added 21. Eastern picks up a pair of wins The Warriors got the week off to a good start last weekend with a Southern Hills Athletic Conference win over Whiteoak last Friday night before beating Logan Elm in the annual Beast of the Southeast tournament on Saturday. Their performance against Whiteoak wasn’t their best, though Eastern coach Rob Beucler felt that was partly because of the Wildcats effort, but they found a way to win. The Warriors jumped out early but foul trouble kept the Wildcats in the game and the hosts eventually fought all the way back to take the lead in the fourth quarter before Eastern jumped right back out in front late. “It was a league win,” Beucler said. “They played very good and we didn’t play our best.” Nathan Scott led the way with 20 points and Curtis Burns hit four big 3-pointers for 12 key points. The following night the Warriors traveled to Chesapeake High School to battle Logan Elm and won 56-46. The Warriors (12-2) got exactly what they had hoped in playing a good team and responded with a strong defensive effort. “We did a good job defensively,” Beucler said. But just four Warriors scored in the win. Scott scored 22, Lawson 21, Riley Prine 11 and Marcus Day had a single basket. Ripley splits pair of SHAC games
The Blue Jays put up a pair of strong efforts the last week and nearly came up with a pair of Southern Hills Athletic Conference wins but they came up just short against Peebles before rolling past rival Manchester. Against the visiting Indians last Friday night, the Blue Jays led by 16 at halftime as the Indians top two players, Trent Arey and Beau Justice battled foul trouble but injuries to Ripley point guard Donte Bennett and Justin Cluxton, as well as the return of Arey and Justice, helped the Indians fight all the way back in the second half for a 7170 win. “We probably played as good as we can in the first half,” Ripley coach Marty Adams said. “I knew they were going to make their run, Arey and Justice are too good not to.” With Bennett getting hurt early in the second quarter and not being able to return until the fourth quarter, the Indians began to pressure Ripley and quickly cut the Blue Jay lead to three. The final quarter went back and forth and the Blue Jays had a chance for the win with seven seconds left with the game tied at 70 but they rushed their shot. Justice got the rebound and was fouled. He hit one of the two free throws to secure the Peebles win. But the Blue Jays (6-6, 2-3 SHAC) bounced back in a big way on Tuesday night when they rolled Manchester 67-35. “We came out with intensity and pushed it out on them little by little,” Adams said. After losing the first matchup with the Greyhounds, the Blue Jays were determined to repay the favor and they did that with a total team effort. Leading the way in the win was Bennett, who nearly amassed a quadruple double with 11 points, 10 assists, nine rebounds and eight steals. Western Brown loses back-to-back tight games The Broncos battled hard last weekend but came up short against county rival Georgetown on Friday night and Clinton-Massie on Saturday night. Against the visiting GMen, the Broncos didn’t take care of the opportunities they were presented with. “We missed too many open shots,” Western Brown coach Greg Foster said. “Fouled too much (and) were a little too aggressive.” The following night the Broncos traveled to battle Clinton-Massie and lost another close game, 61-56. A slow start put the Broncos in a big hole, they got down by 17 points, but they bounced back in the second half to make it a much closer ballgame. It was just too little, too late. “We played a lot better in the second half,” Foster said. “We just couldn’t put it all together.” Among the changes Foster made to get the Broncos back in the game was to put freshman guard/forward Eli Fulton at point guard so he could see over the defense and make plays. The change worked pretty well as Foster said Fulton, along with teammate Cory Kuttler, played well against a much more physical Clinton-Massie team. In the end, though, it was another close loss for the Broncos (6-7) in a season filled with them. They’ve lost by seven points or less
in six of their seven losses. “It’s just a combination of things. We don’t shoot free throws well,” Foster said of the reason for the close losses. “A coach always tells his kids free throws or turnovers can win or lose you a game.” Rockets end skid The Rockets ended their four game losing streak on Monday night when the Rockets beat visiting Batavia 76-65. Fayetteville took control in the second quarter as they built a 41-22 halftime lead by outscoring the Bulldogs 24-13. From that point on the Rockets (6-5) simply kept pace with the Bulldogs to pick up the win. D.J. Iles led the way with 23 points while teammates James Decatur (15 points), Max Iles (13) and Toby Lykins (12) all scored in double figures. Girls Basketball Ripley picks up big SHAC win The Lady Jays got a big Southern Hills Athletic Conference win last Thursday night when they handed visiting North Adams their first conference loss of the season. Thanks to a solid team effort, and strong a strong defensive effort by Brianna Payne and Kelci Bowling on the Lady Devils star forward Emily Fite, the Lady Jays picked up a 45-43 win. “Played pretty good,” Ripley coach Chris Coleman said. “I thought that was as good a team effort as we’ve had all year long.” Ripley ran a box-andone defense on Fite with Payne getting much of the time on the North Adams forward and her effort was a key to the win. “She scored some for us and did a great job on Fite,” Coleman said of Payne. The Lady Jays (10-6, 6-2 SHAC) had another tall task in front of them on Monday night when they battled New Richmond and their 6-foot-5 center Josie Buckingham. This time it didn’t go as well as the Lady Lions handed the Lady Jays a 5748 loss. “She caught it on the block and scored,” Coleman said of Buckingham, who scored 30 points for the Lady Lions. “We didn’t do a good job keeping her off the block. I’ll take the blame on that.” Eastern splits pair of SHAC games The Lady Warriors split games against Southern Hills Athletic Conference foes West Union and Peebles this week. Last Thursday night against West Union, the Lady Warriors shot the ball very well en route to a 7223 win. “We shot the ball really well,” Eastern coach John Burroughs said. “It’s probably the best shooting night we’ve had.” It was a balanced scoring effort the Lady Warriors, who were stout defensively as they’ve been most of the year, in the win. Maria Johnson, Emily Turner and Kayla Seigla each scored 16 points while Maddie Bornstein added 10 points of the bench. But in a season that has saw more off shooting nights than on, the Lady Warriors (4-11, 3-4 SHAC) struggled doing just that in their 37-24 loss to Peebles on Monday night. They shot just 26 percent from the field in the loss as their defense did its job. “We’ve got to hit some ‘threes’,” Burroughs said, “but if we don’t it’s pretty much a struggle.”

Fog rolls in on the Ohio River Marybeth Fields, Aberdeen was recently in Ripley and took this picture of the fog on the Ohio River.
Proceeding with Pesticide Paperwork Pesticide Program – Exams and Re-certification Pesticide certification is divided out into two groups, private applicators and commercial applicators. The license or certification for both groups is through the Ohio Department of Agriculture. The Ohio Department of Agriculture regulates the use of pesticides. A private applicator license is needed for farmers/producers who want to apply pesticides for their own use, thus they can’t apply pesticides for hire. In the case of private applicators the license is needed for “restricted” pesticides. When applying pesticides that can be purchased from any farm supply store, local hardware or a big box store, no license is needed unless the pesticide is restricted. Example would be using an herbicide to kill weeds like Roundup. A commercial applicator license is needed for those applicators who apply pesticides for hire or on public property. Even pesticides that can be purchased without a license cannot be applied on public property like schools, churches, parks, etc. without a commercial license. If you would like to obtain a license you will need to pass exams in order to do so for either private or commercial. The exams are
DAVID DUGAN given throughout the state. Locally exams will be given in February, March and April. The location will be the Old Y Restaurant on US 62 in southern Highland County. The exams will be given just after lunch on the second Monday of each of the three months, so the dates are February 11, March 11 and April 8. You must pre-register in order to take the exams. You may register by going to http://pested.osu.edu or call the Ohio Department of Agriculture at (800) 2821955. There is no charge to take the exam, but registration is required due to space limitations each day. Last year the room was filled on multiple occasions, so register early. Once you receive a license, you must keep it current. Commercial applicators will need to attend re-certification classes through the state. Private applicators can attend local re-certification classes. I can re-certify only private applicators, not commercial. There are three private applicator re-certification classes scheduled for Adams/Brown/Highland Counties in February. A pri-
vate applicator license is good for 3 years and expires on March 31. The three opportunities to for re-certification are Monday, Feb. 4 at 5:30 p.m.; Wednesday, February 13 at noon and Monday February 25 at noon. All three sessions will be held at the Southern State Community College South Campus in Fincastle. The cost for the class is $35. This includes a couple of OSU Extension publications, handouts, and a light meal. YOU MUST PREREGISTER for one of these classes prior to January 25, 2013. You can pre-register by calling the Brown Co. Extension office or stop by the office located on the Brown Co. Fairgrounds in Georgetown and ask for Cindy. The payment can be made by check by January 25 by mailing it to: OSU Extension, 325 W. State St. Bldg. B, Georgetown, OH 45121. You may have, or should very soon, receive a letter from the Ohio Department of Agriculture about renewing your private applicator license. The cost for renewal is $30 (this is separate from the $35 fee for the 3 hour class). The $30 fee is to be paid to the Ohio Department of Agriculture. Please be sure to mail that payment to ODA along with any other forms that may be included in the mailing. Your license will be renewed once the $30 payment and
ServSafe® Food Safety classes now available locally

BY Amy L. Habig, MPH, RD, LD Extension Educator, Family and Consumer Sciences, OSU Extension Adams/Brown/Highland Counties Food safety in any establishment—whether it be a restaurant, convenience store, school cafeteria, or other venue—is important! Individuals dining in those places want to know they are eating safely prepared food. It is vital for foodservice employees to be properly trained in handling, preparing, and storing food so that food in their establishment is safe to eat. To help train foodservice employees in food safety, the Ohio State University Extension Offices in Adams, Brown, and Highland Counties will start offering ServSafe® Food Safety classes. The ServSafe Program provides accurate, upto-date information for all levels of employees on the handling of food—from receiving and storing to preparing and serving. ServSafe has two levels of training for foodservice staff: ServSafe Employee and ServSafe Manager. The ServSafe Employee Training meets Ohio Department of Health (ODH) Level 1 Certification in Food Protection
Training requirements, and the ServSafe Manager Training meets ODH Level 2 Training requirements. Ohio State University Extension Adams/Brown/ Highland Counties is an approved provider of Level 1 and Level 2 Trainings through ODH. Amy Habig, Family and Consumer Sciences Extension Educator and Certified ServSafe Instructor, will be the instructor for these classes.

Uecker named Vice Chairman of State Government Oversight and Reform Ohio Senate President Keith Faber today named State Senator Joe Uecker to serve as the Vice Chairman of the Senate Standing Committee on State Government Oversight and Reform.

ment,” said Uecker. “I’m looking forward to doing just that as the Vice Chairman of the Government Oversight and Reform Committee.” In addition to his Vice Chairmanship, Senator Uecker will also serve as a member of the Senate Civil Justice, Commerce and Labor, Energy and Natural Resources, Public Utilities, and Public Safety, Local Government, & Veterans Affairs Committees, as well as a member of the Senate Finance Subcommittee on Education.

The rain has washed away most of our snow so no more snow shoes for awhile. This is the part of Ohio winter that I hate the most. Gray rainy days and mud! This is a great time to get serious about making your plans for spring and start filling out the seed catalog orders. Need some projects to keep you busy? Your list might include: 1) Grow a window sill garden with fresh herbs, 2) Create natural bird feeders using pinecones, peanut butter and birdseed, 3) Browse online and print catalogs for new varieties of plants that catch your eye, 4) Make sure your “tender” outside plants have a nice blanket of straw to insulate them, 5) Paint the handles of your hand tools a bright color in order to find them easily, 6) Join a garden club or visit a local garden center and talk to experts to get new ideas, and 7) Take or teach a class at a local community center and inspire other local gardeners. Now that the snow is melted you should take time to walk around your property. Rabbits feed on bark of trunks and exposed roots of young trees. Rabbit guards, preferably wire screen, wrapped around newly-set plants are suggested to prevent feeding damage. Rabbits will generally feed on trees and brambles when the soil is covered with snow for 10 to 14 days. Let’s face it. If they are hungry enough, rabbits will eat the bark, buds, stems, and tender twigs of a variety of shrubs, vines, and young trees. Winter damage by rabbits is fairly easy to identify. Older woody growth will have evidence of gnawing, with marks from the rabbit’s two front incisors usually evident. Twigs, vines, and stems will be neatly clipped off at a characteristic 45 degree angle. In places where snow drifts can reach 4-5 feet high, it’s not uncommon to see rabbit damage to woody
stems reaching that high. OSUE Fact Sheet HYG1016-96, Overwintering Plants in the Landscape, informs readers that complete girdling of stems by rodents will kill the plants and partial girdling creates wounds for borers and disease organisms to enter, as well as weakening the plant itself. Protect stems and trunks of these plants in late autumn with plastic collars cut in a spiral fashion so they can be slipped around tree trunks. Hardware cloth can also be used as a stem wrap along with aluminum foil. Trunks, stems and lower limbs can be sprayed or painted with rodent repellents. A number of these materials are available in most garden centers. Repeat the application at least once during a warm period in midwinter. Mixing the repellents with an anti-transpirant often results in extended effectiveness of these products. Always read and follow all directions carefully. So as you sit inside nursing that cabin fever, remember that rabbits, mice, and moles are outside hungrily eyeing your prized plants in the landscape. Mark your calendars for the February 17, 2013 garden seminar on Miniature Gardens. All seminars are free and open to the public and are held in the library at the Fincastle campus of Southern State Community College from 6 until 7:30 p.m. The February 11, 2013 deadline to register for the training classes to become a Master Gardener Volunteer is quickly approaching. Classes will meet on Wednesdays, 10 a.m. until 3 p.m., starting February 20 and ending May 22. The Adams County OSUE office is handling the registration for these classes and can be reached at (937) 544-2339. Are you happy with your garden view in the winter? Have you considered adding some interest to your property? Next week I will share some ideas for adding some “bling” to your garden!
