Hospital sale process moves forward Southwest Healthcare Services and the Brown County General Hospital are now working together under a management/consulting agreement. Southwest is exploring a purchase of the hospital and will be doing research into that possibility for the next couple of months. The hospital Board of Trustees voted Jan. 14 to recommend to the Brown County Board of Commissioners that they approve the proposal to purchase the hospital submitted by Southwest. The commissioners have not yet acted on that recommendation, with Commission President Ralph Jennings saying that commissioners “were still doing their homework” on
the proposal. Under the consulting agreement, which does not require county commission approval, Southwest Employee Joan Phillips will be working full time at BCGH for the next 60 days. SHS owner Paul Tuft describes Phillips as a “turnaround specialist” who has experience in improving the financial condition of troubled hospitals. Resumes of other SHS employees who may become involved in the negotiation or consulting process have also been submitted to the hospital board. BCGH Board of Trustees Chairman Eric Sontag said that Phillips will not have any direct decision making authority, but will make recommendations to the board.
Sontag also addressed the other submission to the board by Christ Hospital in Cincinnati. “Christ did not make an offer that would allow the hospital to continue to operate in its current form”, Sontag said. He said the proposal from Christ involved buying some assets, leasing the doctors building and making the hospital an “ambulatory only” facility. That would mean that services such as surgery, obstetrics and the emergency room would be eliminated. During a Jan. 17 telephone interview, Tuft said he was “excited about the opportunity” offered by the potential purchase of BCGH. “We want to come in and learn why healthcare dollars are CONTINUED ON PAGE 5

Tincher asks for acquittal, new trial and limited sentencing BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press Dallas Tincher is asking for an acquittal or a new trial. Failing that, he is asking Judge Thomas Nurre to sentence him to only one of his three felony convictions. In a Memorandum to the judge, Tincher attorneys Gary Rosenhoffer and Christine Tailer attack the case of Brown County Prosecuting Attorney Jessica Little. “During the direct examination of Detective Sergeant Donnie Wagner the State elicited testimony that was wholly

extraneous (not relevant) to the charges against Tincher: that the State routinely paid drug dealers and informants for doing drug deals and testifying and obtaining convictions with such evidence.” The Memorandum continues “that the principal witness against Tincher, Joseph Hensley, as well as Sarah Clemens, received money on a commissary account and other benefits furnished by either the State or Brown County Government prior to their testimony.” The Memorandum goes on to say that based on these facts a
mistrial was requested along with a jury charge mentioning the Ohio bribery statute. Both motions were denied by Nurre. The Memorandum continues by claiming that eliciting improper testimony is a basis for a new trial and is an issue of prosecutorial misconduct. “There can be little doubt that the various inducements (monetary and otherwise) to Hensley and Clemens that are set forth in the record are inappropriate and create, at a minimum, the appearance of impropriety”, it continues.

Aberdeen Council hires water treatment plant consultant By Martha Jacob The Brown County Press The Ohio EPA has informed the Village of Aberdeen that the property on High Street purchased for a new water treatment plant does not meet its standards. At an earlier meeting, Aberdeen Village Council member Billie Eitel expressed her concern over paying $10,000 for the property before the EPA had approved the location for digging two new wells and build the new plant. “We were warned again and again by the EPA not to put the
cart before the horse on the purchase of this property,” Eitel said. “And here we are, we did just that, and now we still have to buy another piece of property.” Eitel was the only council member to vote against the purchase of the High Street property. Council voted unanimously to hire Artesian of Pioneer as the consultants on the project. CEO of Artesian, Ed Kidston was on hand to answer questions about the project. Kidston told council that at least two of the council memCONTINUED ON PAGE 5
A man facing life in prison for rape charges was in Brown County Common Pleas Court Jan 19. as his young accuser was on the witness stand. Dean Price requested a witness competency hearing for the girl as preparations for his trial move forward. Price is facing three counts of rape, two counts of sexual battery, two counts of gross sexual imposition and three counts of intimidation. Brown County Prosecutor Jessica Little told the Press in August of 2010 that Price is charged with intimidation because he allegedly told his victim that he would harm a family member of hers if she reported the abuse. In a short hearing, the softspoken girl was brought to the witness stand and sworn in. Common Pleas Judge Scott Gusweiler was the first to speak to her, beginning the conversation with general questions
about her favorite subjects in school school and the weather. Gusweiler then asked her if she knew the difference between the truth and a lie. Brown County Prosecutor Jessica Little then asked her if it was wrong to lie and if telling the truth was important. Price attorney Katie Kelly asked similar questions and inquired about the names of best friends and former teachers. Following the questioning, the girl was escorted from the courtroom by her mother. Gusweiler said that based on the girls demonstration of memory and the answers to the questions asked, she was ruled as competent to be a witness against Price. Little then brought a letter written by Price to the girls mother to Gusweilers attention. The letter was in violation of Gusweilers order that Price have no contact with the victim or her family. That prompted a tense CONTINUED ON PAGE 6

It can be one of the most difficult decision a family can make when forced to chose a long-term care facility for a parent or loved one. But the choice is made a little easier when families obtain a copy of the recently released 2010 Nursing Home Family Satisfaction Survey. The survey, released by the Ohio Department of Aging, rates Ohio nursing home facilities asking family members of nursing home residents about the quality of care offered by the home. According to the survey, only 16 facilities scored 100 on both key survey questions (“Overall, do you like this facility?” and “Would you recommend this facility to a family member or friend?” The only Brown County facility to make the list was Meadow Wood Care Center, 61 Stephans Avenue in Georgetown.

as an EEG Technician, then worked at Christ Hospital where he was recommended for the position of administra-
tor at Meadow Wood. “I never take it for granted that someone will work out when I hire them,” Crout said. “I believe people can be taught a lot of things, but you can’t teach compassion and a caring personality. You either have it or you don’t. And the very first time I hear that a staff member isn’t showing tolerance and patience, I don’t tolerate it. “These residents live here. This is their home. Some of them go long periods of time without seeing or talking to anyone from their own families. We’re their family, we’re their friend.” The family satisfaction survey was conducted between June and December 2010 by the Scripps Gerontology
Center of Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, on behalf of the Ohio Department of Aging. Nearly 30,000 family members and 931 facilities participated. Of the 711 participating facilities with statistically significant results, 375 scored above the state average. Wood Care Meadow Center is an 86 bed skilled nursing and rehabilitation center, offering both shortterm rehab or long-term care. “It is our goal to offer a happy and healthy well-being place to live,” added Crout.

Motion filed seeking to add Ohio to states challenging healthcare law Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine announced today that he has been notified that the plaintiffs challenging the constitutionality of the recently enacted healthcare law in federal court in Florida today filed a motion for leave to amend the complaint to add Ohio as a party plaintiff in that case. DeWine gave authority for that challenge last
Monday, on his first day in office. The motion seeks to add Ohio to the states involved in State of Florida, et al., v. United States Department of Heath and Human Services, et. al. In addition to Ohio, the motion seeks to add Kansas, Wyoming, Wisconsin, Maine, and Iowa to the growing number of states challenging the law,
Chamber to honor local businesses at annual breakfast The Brown County Chamber of Commerce will honor Fred Thomas and Kyle and Roland Cahall of Cahall Bros. at the Chamber’s Annual Business Breakfast on Monday Jan. 31 at the Georgetown Church of Christ. Thomas will receive the Lifetime Achievement Award. He had started a welding business over 50 years ago, added a fertilizer business and even today he has a business that helps people with mobility issues. Roland and Kyle Cahall will receive the Drucker Award for Excellence in Management. They have expanded their business to now employ nearly 200 people in two states and are recognized as one of the leading John Deere dealers in the nation. The award is named in honor of the late Peter Drucker, who is widely
known as the “Father of Modern Management”. Chamber president Tim McKeown said “It is an honor to present these awards to these men. They are great examples of how hard work and effort pay rich rewards for themselves and the community.” In addition to recognizing this year’s recipients of the Drucker and Lifetime Achievement awards, the Chamber will also recognize the graduates of its LEADS program and install new officers for the coming year. The doors will open at 7 a.m. on Monday, Jan. 31 and breakfast will be served at 8 a.m. The Georgetown Church of Christ is located at Hamer Road and US 68. Reservations can be made by calling the Chamber office between 9am and 2 p.m. at (937) 378-4784.
potentially bringing the total number of states in the case to 26. In a separate challenge, by the Commonwealth of Virginia, a federal judge already held part of the act unconstitutional. "Simply put, the federal government does not have the power to force individuals to buy a product -whether they want it or not - or face a penalty," said Attorney General DeWine. "I look forward to working with Florida and the other states to challenge the constitutionality of the 'individual mandate' that requires individuals to purchase health insurance." The lawsuit challenges the healthcare law's unreasonable burdens on the states and its unprecedented claim of federal power to require individuals across the country to go into the marketplace and purchase certain, federally-approved health insurance coverage or face financial penalties. That 'individual mandate' far exceeds the authority of the federal legislature under Article I of the United States Constitution and is not authorized by Congress' power "to regulate commerce … among the several states." The complaint asks the court to declare the act unconstitutional and to enjoin the federal bureaucracy from enforcing the act against Ohio and the other plaintiff states.

Treat loved ones well while you have them Thomas Jefferson once wrote “life is for the living”. And of course it is. Yet, dealing with death is part of life. As an attorney who represents families who lose loves ones in tragedy, I witness pain on a grand scale. The rituals we have to deal with death- family gatherings, visitations, funerals and memorials are coping mechanisms which provide little relief. A friend and client of mine who lost his only son in a traffic accident by the fault of another, almost punched a preacher who told him his son was “in a better place”. Faith and hope have their place in the healing process, but those who lose a loved one prefer to keep them. In the past few weeks, I, like you, felt the loss in Tucson Arizona. A nine year old girl? I also held in sobbing manly embrace an old friend whose wife went to the store and never came back. An auto accident took the love of his life. This past summer on August 14, 2010, my wife lost her son, my stepson, Cory. I’ve spoken about this on the radio. Cory was a passenger with a seatbelt on in a car with a drunk driver going too fast, when he lost his life. Yesterday, I received Cory’s autopsy in the mail. I wish I had never read it. Have you ever read a autopsy of a loved
ERIC DETERS one? It’s devastating. It’s cold scientific reality for the coroner. For me, it was the life of someone who I only remember full of life, smiling, laughing and hugging his mother. My wife’s life will never be the same. She lost her first born son. She sleeps with his tshirt near her face every night. She breathes him in. My wife’s continued pain, and reading the autopsy, made me dwell upon death and compelled this column. I love poetry. Shakespeare, Alexander Pope, Longfellow and many more inspire and soothe me. Poetry provides an excuse to write words and phrases which sing. Bobby Kennedy claimed Aeschylus was his favorite poet. He quoted him on the night of Martin Luther King’s assassination. I love the words: “Even in our sleep, pain which cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, until, in our own despair, against our will comes wisdom through the awful grace of God.” Please read those words over a few times. I know you have
lost. We all have. I feel fortunate I still have 81 year old healthy parents. Yet, I fear the inevitable. I worry every day about tragedy striking my family again. Cancer? Accident? Illness? Ponder from birth to old age the absolutely countless types of disease, illnesses and accidents which can snare us? It’s sobering. Soldiers give their lives for a cause greater than their own lives. Small comfort to their loved ones. We have lost Presidents to assassination. Devastating to our country and loved ones. Callous men and women like Jared Loughner, terrorists and common murders have stolen life from us. There also is simply tragic misfortune. Children lose parents, parents lose children, spouses lose spouses, siblings lose siblings and friends lose friends. Pain which “falls drop by drop upon the heart.” You may ask yourself why I write about such a somber topic and further ask what is my point, what is my message. It’s this. I believe all good advice is simply a reminder of that which we already know isn’t it? You already know the pain of loss. You have the fear of loss. You know how precious life is. How short life is. So what should we do in life? Live life.
Protect in word and deed those you love. Honor those you love. Do not ever allow the sun to go down with anger and hatred towards your loved ones. While living life, live with purpose. Life is hard. But that’s no excuse to not live it. I’m reading Ron Chernow’s new biography “George Washington”. Washington experienced countless setbacks in his early military career. He saw and felt death and disappointment. He wrote: “human affairs are always checkered and vicissitudes in this life are rather to be expected than wondered at.” Washington lost his father at a young age. Lincoln his mother. Jefferson his father and wife. Rather than succumb to despair, they continued to live life. Much less famous souls do so too everyday. We honor all who lose their life, as we all do, by how we live. Your life decides your epitaph. One of my favorite is Malcolm Forbes from Forbes Magazine fame and father of Steve Forbes: “While living he lived.” May God bless and protect you and your loved ones, my loved ones and may we each never despair. Eric Deters is an attorney licensed in Kentucky, Ohio and Florida. He also hosts a talk show on 700 WLW. His website is www.ericdeters.com.
Letters to the Editor Writer questions comment ‘Gunman “Only” Killed Six’ Dear Editor, Local news. National news. International news. The story is everywhere. It’s about the tragedy that occurred on January 8. A 22-year-old gunman opened fire on a crowd of innocent people in sunny Tucson, Arizona. He “only” killed six victims. Only six! Who among us, after reading such a headline would not be appalled at its insensitivity? None, I hope. Yet…I pause and wonder. The reason for my bewilderment stems from a recent Guttmacher Institute study that announced a spike in U.S. abortions. Reporters rushed to file their stories. And while
most mainstream media communicated the data—virtually none conveyed the human loss as a tragedy and moral crisis. No empathy. No sorrow. No grief. Instead of reflecting on the 1,212,350 unique members of society that you and I will never know—nor will they ever know us or their parents—news media from the Wall Street Journal to the Washington Post minimized the increase. With the sensitivity of stats for a win-loose sports column, the Journal said the increase is “just 1%.” The AP followed suit with an arcane “slight rise.” Factually, both were

right. But in terms of real human casualties a “just 1%” or “slight rise” means that our beloved America dug 6,150 new graves! (Would you believe this abortion spike is 1,718 more that all U.S. military killed in the Iraq war? Would a parent of a son or daughter be comforted by a headline that read: “Just one Marine was killed in Iraq today.” No! A thousand times, no. One life, no matter the age, is precious!) I hope you like stories. I do. Here is a true one. It happened before Roe v. Wade. Written by Dr. Charlie W. Starr, the story first appeared in the December 26, 2010 issue of The Lookout. Dr. Starr tells of a young, petite woman. He simply called her “Jane,” admitting that the full details of her life were unknown to him, saying, “Please forgive me for using my imagination to fill in the gaps.” He sets the story in 1962, when teenager Jane fell in love. She and her boyfriend became intimate. She got pregnant, but didn’t realize it for several weeks because in those days of yore access to a take-home pregnancy test was not available. Jane was sent by her parents to Dallas where she could stay with anonymous people while her belly grew too big for the truth to be hidden. No doubt hometown friends of the fami-
ly would suspect something because of Jane’s absence. For months Jane anguished over her mistake, yet she could feel the living child move and grow inside her stomach. During this time of waiting she did a lot of wishing. Wishing the father had wanted to marry her. Wishing he’d at least write her a letter or two. Wishing for some other alternative than this. But the only alternative was anonymous adoption, and that became her choice. Arrangements were made. Jane gave birth to a boy on March 14, 1963 at St. Paul’s Hospital in Dallas. She probably never saw him because he was taken immediately into the care of doctors and nurses. Two weeks later he was adopted by a husband and wife who could not have children biologically. Dr. Starr concludes his story with this: “If Roe v. Wade had been passed in 1963 Jane could have chosen death for the baby. I’m glad she didn’t have the alternative because she was my birth mother. If she’d had the option of abortion, I’d probably be dead.” What has happened to America’s empathy for life since Roe v. Wade was legalized on January 22, 1973? How many of the “just 1%” could have been a Dr. Starr? Doug Carter Georgetown
WAYNE GATES, EDITOR expanding services at the hospital in an effort to bring more people through the doors. Two other buyers have walked away within the past year. Neither said why, but common sense says they took a look at patient volume versus expenses and decided to say no. Deciding where to seek health care is a personal choice. I would not presume to tell you where you should or should not go to see a doctor. All I’m asking is that you think about the bigger picture and give Brown County General Hospital an equal chance when you’re making your choice. Price their services and compare. You might save some money and not have to travel as far. If you have concerns, past or present, call them and get some answers. If there is something keeping you from wanting to use the hospital, please write me at bcpress@frognet.net and tell me what it is. From this point forward, whether the hospital continues to operate in its current form is up to you.

Brown County General Hospital is in trouble. Lower Medicare and Medicaid payments, higher operating costs and people who just don’t pay at all are threatening its continued existence. There is one factor that can change that, however. You. According to the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services, 68.5 percent of hospital visits by Brown County residents in 2009 were at hospitals outside the county. Seven out of ten. No business can survive for long when 70 percent of the population doesn’t go there. Today is payday at the hospital as I write this. 353 checks are going out as part of the 14 million dollar annual payroll. It’s 18 million dollars when you count the benefits. That works out to about fifty thousand dollars a day. Do you think some of that money might find its way into the cash registers of Brown County businesses at some point? These 353 people buy and rent homes, pay property taxes and shop in local stores. All of that is in danger of going away if things don’t change. Right now, the hospital is in discussions with another potential buyer who has expressed an interest in

Aberdeen Council hires water treatment plant consultant, village borrows $2.7 million for project members had brought to his attention (after a meeting) the possibility of establishing a utility building, approximately 2,000 square feet, on the High Street property. “As long at the structure is water related, bond funds could be used for the construction of the building,” Kidston told council. “I guess I’m really playing catchup here tonight,” Eitel said. “I didn’t know anything about the construction of a utility building.” Kidston said another piece of property located on Budig Drive was deemed suitable for the new water treatment plant and could be purchased for $90,000 which was included in the initial $1,989,000 project cost. Council has already borrowed $2.7 million in Recovery Zone Development bonds for construction of the new plant. Upon hearing about the new location for the first time, Eitel told Kidston that he needed to make very sure that the EPA would approve the new property before the village bought another property. Kidston told council to begin advertising in the papers for engineers. In other business during the meeting Mayor Garland Renchen told the board that he
had been asked to get approval to allow the Ohio Department of Transportation to begin resurfacing a portion of U.S. 52 within the corporation limits of the village. Renchen assured council that the project would not cost the village any money and asked to suspend the three reading rule and adopt an ordinance to allow the project to begin. The board unanimously approved. The board voted to allow the superintendent of the Southern Hills Career and Technical Center to hang a banner in the village promoting ‘Career and Technical Education Week, between Jan. 31 and Feb. 18. The board approved. Board member Jerry Applegate recommended organizing a career fair to be held in the village to go along with the promotion. Board president, Hugh Hall asked council to consider allowing Betty Ginterd from Ripley to hold a ‘baby show’ which would include a beauty pageant at the village park on April 23. Hall agreed to find out more information on the event before making a decision. The board was told by legal counsel, Teresa Gossett that the village fire department had contacted the Brown County Prosecutors office in regard to at least 15 fire hydrants that were in need of repair.
The prosecutor informed the village that they had to come up with a plan that would make the non-working hydrants functional again. After discussing the matter, council said it would be a top priority to remedy the problem. New Village Administrator Emily Henderson was also introduced at the meeting. She thanked everyone who had helped her during the previous week and told council that she hoped to help move the village forward. Eitel told the board that it was important that immediate
action be taken in repairing a boat dock in the village using funds from the beautification grant. Councilwoman Eitel also organized a special financial meeting, scheduled for Monday, Jan. 24 for discussion of over-spending by the village. “We’ve had to do a lot of juggling around funds to cover line items on what we budgeted, because we’ve over-spent,” Eitel told council, “we need to work this out.” The next council meeting is scheduled for Feb. 7 at 7:30 p.m.

It was so exciting to even qualify for the nationals, and it was a dream come true to get Best of Breed with Hunter.” According to Tighe, Hunter was also invited to the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show that takes place Feb. 15, 2011 in Madison Square Garden in New York City. Showing Hunter in AKC competition is part of her high
school senior project and a selfdesigned credit flexibility course that enables her to earn units of high school credit based on demonstration of subject competency in the area of professional dog handling and breeding. In addition to showing dogs, Tighe co-breeds Glen of Imaal Terriers with her mother, under the kennel name Castle Valley Glen of Imaal Terriers and Therapy Dogs. Tighe is also a member of the Clermont County Dog Training Club. She has also shown and
placed several dogs in Breed AKC/UKC Conformation since she was 7 years old following in the footsteps of her older brother, Nathan, who also showed in UKC/AKC. Tighe has no plans on stopping showing dogs in the near future. “After I graduate I also plan on showing another breed of dog, the Shiba Inu,” Tighe said. “It’s a beautiful breed with a face like a fox that weighs about 35 pounds, fluffy with a curly tail.
“I hope to attend Northern Kentucky University for a couple of years, then spend some time in Arizona showing my dogs.” Tighe aspires to be a professional dog handler someday so she is taking private professional handling classes in Columbus. She is a junior member of the breed’s AKC parent club, the Glen of Imaal Terrier Club of America and is the club’s first recognized Junior Handler since the breed’s recognition in 2004.

Complicity implies more active participation than conspiracy. The Memorandum cites Ohio case law and reads “Where multiple offenses are committed by the same conduct, the offenses merge for the purpose of sentencing”. In other words, Tincher’s attorneys are claiming that
Tincher engaged in only one set of behaviors and the state is trying to sentence him two different ways for the same actions. Tinchers attorneys are claiming that double jeopardy protections apply to Tincher under these circumstances. Tincher is scheduled to be sentenced later this week.

Everyone should have fire prevention and response plans in place, but this becomes especially important for older adults due to changes that come with aging or impaired health. According to the National Fire Protection Association, adults over 65 years old are twice as likely to die in a fire and those over 85 are four times more likely. The Area Agency on Aging District 7 encourages the public to be fire safe and fire smart at all times of the year, but especially during the winter season when the use of heating elements increases. Note the following advice about fire prevention: • Safe Cooking - Always watch stove top items and turn off burners if you must walk away – even for a minute. - Turn handles of pots and pans toward the back to avoid accidentally knocking them over. - Avoid loose-fitting and dangling clothing on your arms and chest while you cook. - Keep flammable materials like towels, potholders, papers, etc., away from heating appliances. - Use a timer to remind you that the oven is in use. - If you do not feel safe cooking, contact the Area Agency on Aging toll-free at 1-800-582-7277 for more information about homedelivered meals or other meal preparation assistance. • Safe Electrical Equipment - Unplug small appliances like toasters and can openers after each use. - If an appliance appears to be malfunctioning, have it checked and repaired before using again. - Be sure that electrical cords and any extension cords are in proper working condition. - Be sure outlets are not overloaded. • Safe Heating - Do not use your oven to heat your home. - If you use electric space heaters, be sure the electrical cords are in good condition and the outlet can handle the load. - Do not share an outlet
oxygen while someone in the house is smoking, then turn it back on after they have finished. • Develop and Practice a Fire Evacuation Plan - Identify at least two ways to get out and review safety steps like checking closed doors for heat before opening, using your emergency alert device if you have one, and crawling on the floor below the smoke. • If You Require Assistance Getting Out of the House - Close the door to your room, stay near a window, and stay on the phone with rescuers. - Alert your local fire department prior to a fire that you may be unable to evacuate without assistance in the event of a fire – this will keep you and your rescuers safe. More information about fire prevention and safety can be found on the State Fire Marshal’s website at www.com.ohio.gov/fire.
sion. - Keep flammable materials at least three feet away and extinguish flames before leaving a room. - For electrical decorations, avoid extension cords and overloading outlets. - Turn off and unplug electrical decorations overnight and when you will not be home. Note the following fire preparation tips: • Install Smoke Detectors - One on each level of your home and in all sleeping areas. - Test monthly. - Change the batteries every six months. • Use Only Deep-Seated Ashtrays - If you or others in your home must smoke, keep smoking materials away from combustible materials and wet them before disposing of them. - Never smoke while lying down, tired, or taking medications that cause drowsiness. - Always turn off medical

It is exciting to walk to the mail box each day and see what seed or nursery catalog has arrived. As I look through each catalog I have learned that I need to have an index card handy to jot down “possibilities” for my gardens. After finishing the list of interesting items, I staple the index card to the front of the catalog. This simple task has made it much simpler for me to find certain seeds, etc. that I would like to order. A good friend called me last week and asked if I would come to her home and walk around her landscape and give her some advice. She has completed several inside renovations and has declared this year the “Garden Year”. She bubbled with excitement as she spoke about browsing through the seed catalogs that were filling her mailbox daily. We made a lunch date in February and before ending our conversation I urged her to make a list of gardens she hoped to create and then prioritize the list. I immediately headed to my office to grab my favorite

Landscape Design book off the shelf. “Designing Your Gardens and Landscapes” written by Janet Macunovich, is a great book for beginners as well the seasoned gardener. The author explains that she has written the book for those who have wished for a recipe, a process that explains what to do first, second and last to design a garden. I thought that I would lead you through the author’s 12-Step Plan for the next several articles. It will be a great reminder to all gardeners who enjoy the processes of growth and change in a garden. Janet Macunovich gave a presentation at the State Master Gardeners Conference a few years back and I became an instant fan. She was energetic and full of great stories about her landscape and design business located in Michigan. Her 12-Step Plan includes: • Set Goals • Establish a budget • Think about Maintenance • Assess the Site • Make a Plant List • Choose a Focal Point • Make a Scale Drawing • Place the Focal Point Plant • Frame the Focal Point • Add to the Basic Plan • Outline the Garden • Adjust before Planting Let’s take a quick look at (1) Set Goals. Why do you want a garden? Make a list of your reasons. Where have you seen a garden you liked? What did you like about it? What are your favorite colors in flowers? What flowers, if any, do you especially like or dislike? Look through magazines that have pictures of gardens and make a list of the ones you liked, and why. What kinds of things do you do in the yard where this garden might go? Make a list of the people that may be using the garden. Do you want to attract wildlife? How much time are you willing to spend maintaining your garden? Sometimes our reason for a garden is to cover a defect or an eyesore. Perhaps you have an area that is sloping, or hard to mow.

At that point, Gusweiler sternly reminded Price of his order in the bond hearing. “You will abide by my order not to contact the victim or her family. No letters, no phone calls, no contact”, he said from the bench. Gusweiler then ordered that his instructions to Price be reissued and that a copy of them be served to Price by the Brown County Sheriff’s Office. Price is scheduled for trial in April.

SAMSON I Judges 14 takes place in the time when the Philistines were in control of the nation of Israel. God had told Moses in the book of Deuteronomy to tell the people to go into the land which flowed with milk and honey. He said that if they would keep His commandments He would bless them and make them a peculiar people above all the people of the earth, for the earth was His. But if they disobeyed Him and lived wickedly and turned to idolatry He would put them down. He told them that their enemies would rule over them. That is exactly what happened when they turned from God. Judges 13:1 tells us: “And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the LORD; and the LORD delivered them into the land of the Philistines forty years.” The LORD did not give them just one chance. They turned from Him again, and again, and again, and again. And now here they are under the rule of the Philistines. The forty years are about to expire and God is going to deliver them once more from their enemies. He is going to give them another chance. The angel of the LORD appeared to Manoah and his wife and told them that she would have a son. They named him Samson; he was their only child. He grew strong and the LORD blessed him. In verse 25 of chapter 13 it states: “And the Spirit of the LORD began to move him at times in the camp of Dan between Zorah and Eshtaol.” Then in chapter 14:1-4 it states: “And Samson went down to Timnath, and saw a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines. And he came up, and told his father and his mother, and said, I have seen a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines: now therefore get her for me to wife. Then his father and his mother said unto him, Is there never a woman among the daughters of thy brethren, or among all my people, that thou goest to take a wife of the uncircumcised Philistines? And Samson said unto his father, Get her for me; for she pleaseth me well. But his father and his mother knew not that it was of the LORD, that he sought an occasion against the Philistines: for at that time the Philistines had dominion over Israel.” This is one of the judges in the days

DR. CHARLES SMITH MT. ORAB BIBLE BAPTIST CHURCH www.bbcmtorab.com when the judges ruled and every man did that which was right in their own eyes. That is the whole theme of this book. I suppose the period of time that comes the closest to that time when the judges ruled in the Old Testament is right now. In today’s world it is once again the time when everyone does that which is right in their own eyes. But in this instance, in the book of Judges, God sought an occasion against those Philistines. Now this young fellow, Samson, was an extremist. He was extremely carnal on the one hand and extremely spiritual on the other. He was very carnal when it came to women. Therefore, he did not care if this particular woman met his family’s criteria. They did not understand him, but they did as he wished. As they traveled down to Timnath, a lion roared against Samson. The Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him and he killed the lion with his bare hands but did not tell his mother or father what he had done. In fact, he told no one about it. When they got to Timnath, Samson talked to the woman and she pleased him well so the wedding was arranged. They went back home and after a time Samson returned to Timnath to get married. However, on his way there he turned aside to see the carcass of the lion. In the carcass was a swarm of bees and honey. He ate some of the honey and gave some to his parents but did not tell them where it came from. Once they got into town and the wedding was arranged, a feast was given for Samson and thirty young men who were to be his companions. Samson made the young men a deal. I guess I must leave off here and continue this next week. Please do not forget to come back for the rest of the story. There is a lot to be learned from Samson.

Girl scout cookie sales begin On Saturday, Jan. 8, 2011 the Girl Scouts of Brown County, Oh., rallied together at Rhonemus Hall to prepare for their upcoming famous cookie sales starting Friday, Jan. 21, 2011. There were 90 girls from 11 troops that attended. These mouth water cookies are enough to make anyone smile. While at the rally the girls worked on learning skills to help them prepare for their individual and troop sales strategies. Such as poster making, customer service, marketing, and most important safety. During the activity the girls had a chance to role play to practice the skills they learned. After the cookie rally they had a decade dance and they dressed up in different costumes of the eras of music. Mike’s DJ Services provided the music so the girls could dance thru the decades. Pictured are girl scouts working hard creating their posters to sell cookies.

My hat’s off to them. Going on the road against a good team is tough.”
“Fayetteville is not unbeaten in the league for nothing,” said Ripley coach Chris Coleman. We played well and took care of the ball tonight. They just played a little better.” Ripley took an early 4-2 edge when Sadie Grisham hit a jumper and added a free throw with 4:31 left in the first. But by the midway point, Fayetteville went ahead 5-4 after Shelby sheets converted a three-point opportunity. The Lady Jays reclaimed

Georgetown held a 36-21 lead. The fourth frame was evenly played as both Brown County schools netted eight points in the quarter. In the end, Georgetown held on for the 44-29 win. “In that second half, Western did some things on defense that really slowed us down,” said Cropper. “They gave us some looks that were good for us to see. We were forced to make adjustments.” Carter led the Lady G-Men with a game-high 16 points. Grant added 14. Zurbuch finished with seven. Jesse Kidwell added five. “Kirsten played well and
helped us get off to that quick start,” said Cropper. “Casey also helped with eight points in the first half.

Indians. The Warriors were paced by Michael Snyder’s 11 points. Nathan Scott added seven and Layne Pickerill chipped in four. On Saturday, the Warriors traveled to Chesapeake and defeated the South Point Pointers by a score of 48-44. “We held their big scorer (Blake Barnes) to just 10 points, which was key,” said Beucler. “They only got two or three runouts on us, which was different than last night.” The Warriors trailed 16-10 after one quarter and 28-22 at the half. The Pointers outscored Eastern 12-11 in the third period, taking a 40-33 lead into the final frame.
In the fourth, Lawson heated up, scoring seven points in the frame as Eastern came from behind for the 48-44 win. “Jesse had 16 points and nine rebounds,” said Beucler. “Chase scored 15, with 10 of those coming in the second half. We only turned it over three times in the second half, which was another key to the win.” Whitaker led the Warriors with a game-high 16 points. Lawson added 15. Purdin chipped in six and Stout finished with five. Kyle Winkler paced South Point with 14. Brandon Barnes added 13 and Blake Barnes netted 10. The win lifted Eastern to 55 overall.
Lady Rockets down Lady Devils Broncos wrestling roundup in Southern Hills League game By Ritchie Butler The Brown County Press The Fayetteville Lady Rockets remained unbeaten in Southern Hills League play by defeating the North Adams Lady Devils last week, 73-52. “We had the intensity tonight,” said Fayetteville coach Toby Sheets. “We pounded the boards and did a nice job on the interior.” Makayla Rosselot scored the first seven points for Fayetteville as the Lady Rockets raced to a 7-4 lead. Laynee Davis hit a bank shot and Ashley DeBord made two free throws, putting the Lady Devils in front 8-7 with five minutes left in the first. Megan Eyre answered with a 3-pointer, giving the Lady Rockets a 10-8 edge. Following a driving layup by Corey Pertuset, which tied the count at 10-10, Shelby Sheets made a free throw and Cheyenne Ramey stuck back
an offensive board, giving Fayetteville a 13-10 lead after one quarter. “They tried to skip pass and drive past us,” said Sheets. “It got Desiree (Dutro) in foul trouble early. but their drives got them out of position and we had some easy 2-on-1 breaks.” The Lady Rockets got their fast break going in the second stanza. Rosselot scored two layups in the first two minutes. Emily Stahl pulled up for three and Sheets added a layup, giving Fayetteville a 22-15 lead with six minutes left in the second quarter. Dutro connected on a jumper and Sheets scored three-straight trips inside, putting the Lady Rockets on top, 30-15.

Both teams played even the final three minutes of the half as Peebles held a 43-23 lead at intermission. “Countryman was key,” said Beucler. “He had 20 in the first half. We didn’t do a very good job guarding him.” The Warriors opened the third quarter on an 8-2 run. Jesse Whitaker made a free throw, followed by a layup from Lawson. Jordan Payne nailed a three and Brandon Belcher stuck back an offensive board. Midway through the period, Eastern trimmed the Peebles lead to 45-31. Justice answered for the Indians. The senior guard converted two three-point plays within a minute of Eastern cutting the lead, pushing the Indians’ advantage back to 20, at 51-31. “After we cut the lead, they got some transition baskets on us,” said Beucler. “We need to keep the score in the 50’s. You can’t do that by allowing easy baskets.” Whitaker made a jumper and Conner Purdin scored a

The Peebles Indians had too much firepower for their hosts last Friday as they defeated the Eastern Warriors, 73-54, in a Southern Hills League matchup. “They came out and had a big first quarter,” said eastern coach Rob Beucler. “they shot it well, especially in that first half.” It looked as though the fans were in for a shootout in the
first three minutes of play. Eastern’s Chase Lawson and Peebles’ Andy Countryman exchanged 3-pointers to open the game. Trent Arey gave Peebles an early lead when he converted a three-point play and then stuck back an offensive board. Brett Stout answered with a layup and with just over five minutes left in the first period, Peebles clung to an 8-7 lead. After Jake Daniels scored inside for Peebles, Stout again trimmed the lead to one with a

Ohio Statehouse set to celebrate its sesquicentennial
Plumbing
1861 to 2011 Special Events Planned Throughout 2011 The people of Ohio will celebrate the sesquicentennial of the Ohio Statehouse throughout 2011. The Ohio Statehouse has served as the heart of Ohio democracy for the last 150 years. Throughout the state, the Ohio Statehouse stands as a symbol of the legislative and executive branches of state government, and the people of Ohio. After 22 years of construction, the Ohio Statehouse was completed in 1861 at the beginning of the American Civil War. One hundred and fifty years later, the Ohio Statehouse continues to serve as heart of Ohio democracy. The Statehouse is considered to be one of the most significant architectural accomplishments of the early republic. Its Greek Revival Doric architectural details and proportions give the impression of permanence, elegance and grandeur deserved by the original State Legislature who passed a law on January 26, 1838 to build the new Statehouse. Restored to its 1861 appearance, the Ohio Statehouse maintains its historic character as it continues to function as the center of state government in Ohio. Throughout 2011, the Ohio Statehouse will host a variety of special events, re-enactments and exhibits to celebrate the sesquicentennial of our great Capitol Building. The events will commemorate the lasting legacy and history of the Ohio Statehouse. Through educational programs, public forums, arts projects and special events, the Ohio Statehouse Sesquicentennial will provide an opportunity for all Ohioans to learn about the history of the building, events

NB&T Financial Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: NBTF), parent company of The National Bank and Trust Company (“NB&T”), Wilmington, announced higher net income for 2010 of $8.8 million, or $2.58 per share, compared to net income of $4.0 million, or $1.28 per share, for 2009. This increase is primarily attributable to the acquisitions of Community National Bank (“CNB”) in December 2009 and American National Bank (“ANB”) in March 2010. The increase in net income over last year is primarily due to the bargain purchase pre-tax gain of approximately $7.6 million in the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) assisted acquisition of certain of the assets and liabilities of ANB, as well as a $5.8 million increase in net interest income largely offset by a $4.0 million increase in non-interest expenses, and a $3.5 million increase in income taxes. In addition, NBTF realized a pre-tax gain of $1.4 million on the sale of its insurance agency subsidiary in January 2010. Net income for the fourth

The Brown County Farm Bureau’s 2011 membership campaign officially began with a Membership Kick-Off at 6:30 p.m., Thursday, Jan. 20 in Rhonemus Hall located on the Brown County Fairgrounds, Georgetown. The Kick-off gives members a chance to learn more about Farm Bureau and an opportunity to help their local Farm Bureau. Volunteers were given the materials they need to sign new or renewed members plus a big shot of enthusiasm to get them on their way toward meeting the membership goals. Our main goal for 2011 is to make gain (exceed the 2010 membership total) within ten days following the Kick-Off. "Farm Bureau’s membership campaign is member led and this year we are inviting all members to help by telling their friends and neighbors about the value of belonging to Farm
Bureau. You don’t have to be a farmer to be a Farm Bureau member," said Heather Utter, organization director. Utter said, "Brown County Farm Bureau works extensively at the community, state and national level to set policies that will improve the rural standard of living, increase net farm income and protect personal property rights." She emphasized that Farm Bureau is a family organization with program, involvement opportunities and benefits for all members of the family. Last year’s membership was a total of 1264 members. Randy Hanselman of Georgetown will serve as membership chair again this year. Please call the county office at 937-378-2212 or toll free 888-378-2212 if you have any questions. Office hours are from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Thursday.

Brownies have fun at Christmas fundraiser Fayetteville Brownie Troops practice their friendship squeeze during their Christmas fundraiser.
Every cookie has a mission: to help girls do great things People say it’s just a cookie. What can a cookie do? A Girl Scout Cookie can do many things. It could send a girl to camp. It could help pay to refurbish a room at a homeless shelter. It could cheer up a soldier who is far from home. A Girl Scout cookie could help buy school supplies for underprivileged kids, or fly a troop of girls from Cincinnati, Harrison or Middletown to Washington, D.C. When you buy Girl Scout cookies, girls decide where the money goes. They have
big hearts and big imaginations. Beginning Jan. 21, girls in southwest Ohio will begin taking Girl Scout cookie orders. All proceeds from the sale of Girl Scout cookies stays in the community. Girl Scouts of Western Ohio is participating in a promising new pilot project this year called Super Six. Girls will be selling a premium selection of the best-selling Girl Scout Cookies ever including: Do-Si-Dos, Lemon Chalet Cremes, Samoas, Tagalongs, Thin Mints and Trefoils.
In addition to the money earned by the girls, Girl Scout cookie proceeds fund vital services such as leader training and camp operations, as well as a variety of Girl Scout program initiatives. This year Girl Scout cookies made by Little Brownie Bakers are available in the six flavors listed above and are selling for $3.50 a box. For more information, to volunteer your time, or make a donation, call 513-489-1025 or 800-537-6241, or visit our website at www.girlscoutsofwesternohio.org.
