Josh Romney visits G’town BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press Someone named Romney was in Georgetown on Oct. 11. No, not Mitt. His son Josh stopped in during a tour of southern Ohio on the “Commit to Mitt” bus tour. Romney was joined by Ohio Auditor of State Dave Yost. A crowd of approximately 150 gathered in the parking lot of Reliable Transportation Services across Mt. Orab Pike from the Brown County Board of Elections. The group was welcomed by RTS owner Lucas Brown, and then Brown County Republican Party Chairman Paul Hall. Hall spoke briefly about the importance of participating in the current General Election and then introduced
the local GOP candidates in attendance. They included Brown County Sheriff Dwayne Wenninger, Brown County Clerk of Courts Clark Gray, Brown County Recorder Amy Jo DeClaire, Brown County Prosecuting Attorney Jessica Little. County Auditor Doug Green, a candidate for Ohio House District 66 and GOP County Commissioner candidates Barry Woodruff and Daryll Gray were also in attendance. Yost told the cheering crowd “We had about 300,000 voters in rural Ohio who did not turn out in 2008 based on the 2004 results. If we can get those people out and do as well as we did everywhere else in 2008, we’re going to win this thing on November 6th!” Yost then told the gather-
ing “Please vote early. Let me tell you why. We lost by 28 votes per precinct in 2008. You or a family member might get sick, or get into a car accident. You never know what might happen and we don’t want to lose a single vote. When it’s in the ballot box, it’s a done deal.” Yost then introduced Romney, who noted that the Brown County gathering was the largest he had seen that day. He then talked about the upcoming election. “This is too important not to get involved and fight for. I think about what we were left by prior generations and our veterans. Think about their sacrifice to give us the America we have today. We are the greatest country on earth and we have to keep it that way.” CONTINUED ON PAGE 10

Staggs arrested again for Domestic Violence Sheriff Dwayne Wenninger reports that on October 8, 2012 at approximately 9:45 a.m., deputies were called to a disturbance at the Mayor’s Office in Hamersville. The callers stated that the Mayor of Hamersville, Wyndal Keith Staggs, 45 years of age, was involved in an altercation with his father at the Mayor’s office and had left on foot headed towards his residence on Walnut Street in Hamersville. Witnesses stated that the suspect became irate at the office and his father was

called to the scene. When the 78 year old father arrived,
witnesses stated that Mayor Staggs shoved him against the wall and threw him onto the floor. The victim also stated that Staggs had choked him before throwing him to the ground. The Sheriff’s Office and Georgetown Police Department responded to the scene. Staggs was taken into custody and charged with domestic violence. He was transported to the Brown County Adult Detention Center where he remains in custody awaiting arraignment. The father was trans-

Varnau turned down by U.S. Supreme Court BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press The United States Supreme Court declined to take up the case of Dennis Varnau against Brown County Sheriff Dwayne Wenninger on Oct 1. That means the legal battle between the two men is

BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press The Rumpke landfill in Georgetown is spending four million dollars to expand operations. That’s the cost of the new “cell” the company expects
to bring online by the beginning of 2013. The ten acre hole is fifty feet deep and looks very much like a football stadium. Preparing it to meet state and federal environmental standards costs $400,000 per acre.
Construction crews are currently laying down a hard plastic liner over three feet of packed clay. Next to come are a softer fabric liner and a one foot layer of gravel. CONTINUED ON PAGE 10
Domestic Violence discussed BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press One woman out of four has been or will be a victim of domestic violence during their lifetime. That is just one of the sobering statistics that has led to October being named as Domestic Violence Awareness Month. The event, and the effort to prevent domestic violence in Brown County, was marked by a presentation by the Eastern Area YWCA at the
Gaslight Theater in Georgetown on Oct. 10. Attendees were given information about the domestic violence prevention services offered locally by the YWCA and also heard from people who have been directly impacted by violence in the home. “Domestic violence impacts everyone”, said YWCA Eastern Area Director Kate Lawson. “It affects the victim, children and family members of the victim and society in gen-
eral. It’s a problem we all have to work together to prevent.” Lawson said one of the keys to preventing domestic violence is learning the signs that it is taking place. “One of the biggest tools used by perpetrators is isolation of the victim. Is the victim being cut off from friends or family? Are they unable to use the telephone or the internet with privacy? Are their funds being controlled? Is CONTINUED ON PAGE 22

Robert Crane (center) listens to testimony during his trial last April. Seated with him are attorneys Nick Ring and Christine Tailer.
Little was asking Wanger about his findings when Crane attorney Nick Ring objected. Crane’s cause of death is listed as a drug overdose, with Wanger making that determination based, in part, on a toxicology report on Christine Crane’s blood. Ring objected to the fact that the toxicology analysis was prepared by an outside company, ATI Laboratories of Indianapolis, Indiana. Ring said that because Wanger was basing his conclusion of cause of death on data prepared by ATI, he should have the opportunity to confront and examine those within ATI who actually did the analysis. The sixth amendment of the U.S. Constitution gives those on trial the right to confront their accusers. Ring is maintaining that the toxicology report is being used as justification to bring charges, and therefore those who prepared it should be cross-examined. Following the ruling in April, Ring said he got what he wanted while acting in the best interest of his client. “At this point in time, an official cause of death has not been entered into evidence as testimony. We have no problem with Dr. Wanger at all,
but we have to be able to look into those who actually performed the tests that his conclusions are based on.” Little said that the issue of the personal responsibility of Robert Crane is a key part of the case. “It’s a short step from furnishing the heroin to being the cause of her death”, she said. That’s why Little charged Crane last year with two of Involuntary counts Manslaughter, one in the first degree and one in the third degree. At the time, Little said “If Crane is convicted of simply permitting the drug use, the third degree charge will apply. If he’s convicted of actively furnishing the Heroin, the first degree charge applies.” The other first degree felony charge is Engaging in a Pattern of Corrupt Activity. Crane also faces two second degree felony charges of Corrupting Another with Drugs and two fifth degree felony counts of Possession of Heroin. He also faces three misdemeanor charges of Permitting Drug Abuse and Possession of Drug Abuse Instruments. Little said that Robert Crane faces “decades” in prison if convicted of all
charges. He will remain in the Brown County Jail under a $500,000 bond until his new trial begins.

Each and every day the doors of Western Brown Local Schools are open it is our mission to help the students become the best version of oneself. Often we only hear about test scores or overall academic performance of our schools and our students while overlooking the personal development of the whole child. The truth of the matter is that our students spend more waking hours at the school than they do at home or with any other institution in our community. Western Brown Local Schools in turn wishes to express our heartfelt interest in accepting this great responsibility of developing our students into productive young Christopher J. Burrows, men and women of society. Superintendent Western We are humbled by the fact that 3,400 stuBrown Local Schools dents, 10,000 parents and over 50,000 community members depend upon the Western Brown Local Schools to develop our youngsters into people of significance. When I speak with local business owners and leaders at the collegiate level it seems they expect us to prepare students to be responsible, collaborative, prompt and innovative. With that being said the progressives’ movement in education attempts to measure success by a single test score that measures aptitude one time during the school year. Quite frankly, I am not sure what we measure equals what is expected in the global society we live in. We have taken aggressive systematic steps to ensure your children are prepared to face society academically, socially and behaviorally. Our district goals require students to get back to the basics of reading, writing and speaking every day. No matter where you walk in the Western Brown district you will see students actively engaged in critically thinking and problem solving. Mount Orab Middle School has taken the initiative to cease all academically operations once a month and teach our students emotional literacy skills such as how to deal with conflict, how to problem solve, how to build successful relationships and how to effectively study. These may seem like common sense approaches to education, however, they have been greatly sacrificed in the face of testing. I have never met the person, whether they are in school, in prison or on their deathbed, who didn’t wake up in the morning hoping to become a person of significance. However, as we all know life happens and people make decisions that lead them in different directions. Success is measured in multiple ways. Some say success is money, fame, power and possessions. Others argue that success is merely being happy and staying out of trouble. There are definitely arguments for both sides. What I want to make very clear is our core belief is to develop an ambitious innovation in our youngsters that cannot be argued with when they experience it. This is what it takes to become a person of significance. Every day we have a staff that is armed and ready to unwrap the individual gifts that each of our students bring to us. In order for one to be significant one must focus on the needs of others first. People of significance have a deep desire to make a difference, to build organizations and people in general. They are the ones who neglect their basic needs in order to make sure needs of others are met first. They add value to everything they touch. These people are the ones that everyone wants on their team because they often experience success. They ask for no glory or recognition because that is not why they do what they do. Ladies and gentlemen, these attributes describe the staff at Western Brown Local Schools. Our staff pledges to cultivate these same characteristics in our students in order to arm them with the necessary tools they need to be a successful member of society and ultimately our Bronco community. We wish to thank each and every one of you for the support of our school system and for the trust you place in the system permitting us to educate your children, grandchildren and relatives. Together we will be the educational beacon of Southern Ohio where everyone wants to get an education, send their children and be able to work there.

BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press The trial of Robert Crane was halted by a mistrial on Oct 4. Common Pleas Court Judge Scott Gusweiler made the ruling after a witness made a statement in front of the jury containing information that Gusweiler had ruled inadmissible at the trial. Brown County Prosecuting Attorney Jessica Little said the mistrial was unfortunate, but the development would not halt the search for justice. “We are determined to proceed with another trial”, Little said. “It is my strong belief that the actions of Mr. Crane contributed to his wife’s death.” Christine Crane was found unresponsive by Aberdeen Life Squad rescue crews on March 17, 2011 after Robert Crane placed a 911 call. She was taken to Meadowview Regional Medical Center in Maysville, Ky., where she was pronounced dead by Mason County Coroner Robert Brothers. This is the second time this year that the Crane trial has been halted. A five month continuance was granted last April after defense attorney Nick Ring challenged the chain of custody and other aspects of the physical evidence in the trial. The continuance was granted in order to give Little time and opportunity to take depositions from workers at the laboratory in Indianapolis where blood and other evidence in the case was tested. Crane is charged with 11 drug related offenses in connection with the death of his wife. The April trial hit a snag during the testimony of Dr. Gregory Wanger, a Medical Examiner for the state of Kentucky. Wanger examined the body of Christine Crane after she was taken to Meadowview Regional Medical Center in Maysville, where she was pronounced dead.

Letters to the Editor
A non-partisan disappointed in Obama Dear Editor, I grew up in Mt Orab graduating from Mt. Orab High School in 1968. I currently live in Springboro, Oh., but keep up with the news in the Mt. Orab and surrounding areas via the Brown County Press. I’ve been reading recently several letters to the paper from Mr. Dan Books Sr. relating to the upcoming Presidential election and felt obliged to comment. It’s obvious that Mr. Books is a diehard Democrat and is as partisan as the year is long. He would have us believe that we’re better off under this President than we were under President Bush. Having voted for President Bush twice I can assure you, even I wouldn’t have voted for Mr. Bush if he had Obama’s record. That’s what you call non-partisan. What I take offense at from this President is his propensity to blame all the ills and problems of the country on his predecessor. I could probably accept this in the first year, but we’re closing in on four years and hearing the same rhetoric. When does it become Mr. Obama’s problems? If he is re-elected who can we expect him to blame as I’m sure it won’t be himself. For me a good analogy would be to look at Obama’s presidency as if he were in court having to defend his record. I would be the first to say he’s had some success, i.e. Bin Laden, but overall he has
failed the American people. Every measurement that directly impacts the health of this country is on life support. I only have to look at his background and relationships with less than reputable people to know what his true agenda is for this country. In my eyes, the saying holds true that,” if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it must be a duck.” He is who he is. I’m utterly confused as to why anyone would vote for this guy given all we know about him from his early organizing days to today. Chicago style politics is all he knows and he grew up in a socialist environment. He follows the activist teachings of socialist Saul Alinsky. As a Christian, I also disagree with his views on abortion and same sex marriage. If any Christian believes the Bible, I would ask them to supply book and verse as to where either of these are acceptable according to our Lord. Here are some problems I see today: • 8% unemployment for upwards of 43 months (miraculously down to 7.8% as of 10/5/12). • Declining home values (I live in Warren County where home values are down 5% again this year). • Gas prices are up to very high levels yet Obama doesn’t want to drill on public lands, but provides Brazil $2 billion for off shore drilling.

through parts of the United States although it would provide much needed jobs. Domestic energy should be capitalized on public as well as private lands so we don’t have to be energy dependent on countries who not only gouge us, but hate us. • Almost $6 trillion debt in less than four years. Lets put a trillion dollars in perspective. If you spent a million dollars a day since Jesus was born to today you would have close to a trillion dollars. If you stacked up a trillion one dollar bills from the surface of the earth it would reach over 67,000 miles. Finally, if you spent a dollar per second it would take 32,000 years to reach one trillion dollars. These examples are for one trillion. Now we just need to multiply these examples by 16 to see where our debt is. Does anyone really think we can work our way out of this abyss? • Obamacare is going to be a drain on the U.S. economy. Obama suggests a cost of $900 billion over the next decade while the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) says it will be closer to $1.8 trillion. I’ve heard estimates as high as $2.7 trillion. Healthcare costs per family since Obama took office are al-
ready up $2400. • A suffering middle class; Obama has stated he’s cut taxes for the middle class so they can buy cars, homes, etc. yet in a chart on 10/2/12 from the Investor’s Business Daily on Income Inequality the middle class income was down almost 2% since he took office. The source was the Census Bureau. • 23 million unemployed. • Food stamp usage on the increase. In the first three years of Obama’s presidency the number of people on Food Stamps was 44.7 million. This is +59% since the last full year of the Bush presidency. Personally, I don’t want to saddle this debt on my kids, grand kids or future generations, but that’s exactly what we’ll do if we re-elect Obama. We can’t continue to spend money at the rate we are and think we’ll work our way out of this mess. This is a fools notion. Think about these things before you vote. If you vote for Obama, you get what you deserve and have no right in the future to complain. By the way, I may sound as if I’ve always been strictly Republican, but I voted for Bill Clinton twice.

thanks and all the people that worked week after week making this program go forward. Most of all I thank the Lord for being apart of this. He never let us down and was always the source of this Great Light for this program. The Bread of Life always had enough to give out and that wa because of Him and you. Tuesdays we would stock up for the night and that night most would all be gone, but on Wednesday cars would start coming in to refill. You cannot out give God, I tried to and He was always there. As the season changes there are still many people that will need help and that is where you come in. Take the time to help someone that is in need of food or clothing, box up something and drop off as needed and it will change the life of someone and will change yours also. Again we want to thank all the people that was a part of this program. It was a great success. The Mt. Orab Bread of Life Program C.J. and Gina Collins
Hidden taxes grow under Pres. Obama Dear Editor, I read with interest the expose written by Mark Garbett (re) ‘new and increased taxes under Obama that are already in place or will, by design, kick in after the election’. While Mr Garbett's letter should be an eyeopener to hundreds of us who have not taken the time (considerable) to go thru the entire thousands of pages which comprise the bill, even he missed some which have mysteriously stayed way below the radar and which will have an impact on anyone who owns a home or any other real estate. It seems that the administration has voted themselves an approximate 4% share in all the real estate in America. After January 1, all real estate sales will incur a 3.8% sales tax. On a 100K home, you owe Obamacare $3,800. The Obama administration is currently buying up mortgages, applying pressure throughout the financial world to keep mortgage rates low to "stimulate the housing market". Hello? Pass out the money with one hand, take it back (plus interest) with the other. On a different, but
equally important subject, if not more so, have you all seen the latest e-mail regarding the incredible number of executive orders issued by Obama? And what they authorize him to do? From the turn of the 20th century until the present, all of the presidents combined have issued a total of 123 executive orders, a large part of which (16, I think) were issued by George Bush in the aftermath of 9/11. Obama has, in 3 1/2 years issued 923 executive orders, or about one a day. They were used to create massive federal bureaucracies headed by 'czars' (energy, transportation-the list is endless). If you have internet access, go on line to see the complete list and what they authorize him to do. Scary. The term 'czar' is certainly appropriate. Romney can achieve a large part of his deficit reduction goals just by, with one stroke of the pen, eliminating 99% of these agencies. One % might actually be benefical. Can anyone say 'impeachment'? Herbert Masters Mt. Orab
America’s direction in jeopardy Dear Editor, In Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (1865), Alice approaches a fork in the road. “Which road do I take?” she asks. “Where do you want to go?” responds the Cheshire cat. “I don’t know,” Alice replies. “Then,” says the cat, “it doesn’t matter.” Like Alice, America stands at a decisive crossroads. Where does she want to go? And who will lead her? The prophet Jeremiah offers this centuriesold advice on choosing a direction: “Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls” (Jeremiah 6:16, 627-586 B.C.). If you doubt the importance of fork in the road decisions, turn back the pages
of history and notice how past decisions have led to circumstances that still affect us today. In 2001 America’s peaceful homeland was changed forever when terrorists decided to hijack planes and use them as weapons to kill 3,000 noncombatant citizens of the United States. Turn history’s pages back another twenty years. There you find that decisions in the 1980’s led to soaring interest rates, falling of the Berlin Wall, and the redrawing of borders in Europe. In the 1970’s, we see the Iran hostage crisis, the Roe v. Wade decision, and the Watergate scandal. Then came the 1960’s, an era that brought changing attitudes toward everything from music to sports to sex. Going back to the 1800’s, we see a brother-tobrother Civil War and the
noble leadership of Lincoln. Plus, two men named Charles published influential books in the same year (1859): Dickens’ A Tale of Two Cities and Darwin’s On the Origin of Species. The 1700’s saw the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. It also saw the climax of political revolution. For in 1776 American visionaries sacrificed their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor to establish a new republic conceived in liberty and endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights. America’s history is once again at a major crossroads, though many didn’t see it then and many don’t see it now. But, like moral visionaries of 1776, forward thinkers of today will place their “X” in the box next to the candidate’s name who will return America to the ancient paths rooted in The
Declaration of Independence and The Constitution of the United States. Now, as then, moral Americans will heed the godly advice of Jeremiah by asking “where the good way is,” and then “walk in it” (Jeremiah 6:16). To paraphrase Martin Luther’s understanding of civil governance: “I’d rather be ruled by a wise [Mormon] than by a foolish Christian.” Therefore, for those who desire a pro-life, pro-biblical marriage, proconstitution, pro-free market, pro-business, pro-defense, and “JudaeaAmerica first” champion, Mitt Romney is the wise choice for this year’s crossroads election. P.S. Full disclosure: I am a registered Democrat who finds no solace in booing the King of kings. Doug Carter Georgetown

Dear Editor, A few month’s ago I had purchased a few flash lights that were very bright. They were called LED flash lights which made them a long lamp beam type of light. When it become dark I was like a kid again shinning this bright light into the sky ad all over my back yard just to see how far the light would go. The Mt. Orab Bread of Life program has been a light for many people for over three years. The program was to be a lamp stand and bring light to people who needed some help in a dark time. The food program gave people hope in bad times. This light started with a small spark and has been seen in a very bright way, from one end of the county to the other side of the county. The Mt. Orab Bread of Life has served its purpose. The program has served many hundred’s of people and we have had so many great people that have been apart of this program. The program will be closed at the end of the month. I owe the church my

BANKRUPTCY TOO MUCH DEBT? NOT ENOUGH MONEY? CALL KELLY & WALLACE
Athletics well worth the expense Dear Editor: I am writing in a response to the “What do you Think” segment of your September 17, 2012 edition to the Brown County Press. The question asked of members of the community was, “School districts across the country are being forced to make cuts and tighten budgets. What programs, if any, would you cut first from school curriculums to save money?” Five of the six people questioned all responded with cutting extracurricular activities such as sports and band. This peaked my curiosity, so I decided to become better informed on this issue, so I approached the Western Brown School District. I wanted to know from them what exactly the cost of running the athletic department is. First let me state that I am also a football and wrestling coach (but not a teacher) at this district. According to the information I was given, the annual school budget for this year is $26 million of which less than $325,000 is allotted for athletic expenditures. All district athletes pay a transportation fee each year, and all extracurricular sponsors took a 5% pay decrease in 2011 in order to save the freshman programs, and 98% of the grounds improvement projects are paid for by the athletic department. The total student enrollment at Western Brown is 3340 with around 400 student athletes.
Now if sports are completely cut from the school district’s budget, then yes you would see an initial savings of around $325,000 as mentioned above. However, the issues you then start to see are student’s leaving the district to attend other schools that offer sports programs because of the open enrollment that a majority of schools have adopted. For every student that attends Western Brown School, they receive $6000 per student. If 50 of the 400 student athletes leave Western Brown Schools to attend a school that offers their particular sport, then the school would lose $300,000 because of their departure from the district. This $300,000 would be sent to the schools where these students are now attending because of the athletic programs they offer. You say, that’s ok we are just breaking even at that point BUT what if another 50 students leave the district because of the non-existence of the athletic programs? The school loses another $300,000 which will cause a short fall on the budget, so more than likely job cuts will occur. Fewer teachers mean higher student to teacher ratios which make it tough on both the students and the teachers. So a loss of 100 student/athletes (25% of the student/athletes estimated total from above) could result in a possible $300,000 loss to the district IF their budget remains at $26 million per
year. Another issue with no sports at the Jr. High or High School besides a possible loss of student/athletes and revenue is what these student/athletes are going to do in all their new found free time. “Idle hands are the devils workshop”. Now if the school would adopt a pay to play policy similar to that of West Clermont Schools. In this case, each student would be charged $495 per sport. A majority of the WB students/athletes play at least 2 sports, so the student/athlete would be required to pay $990 to participate in 2 sports. Now in these economic times, how do you expect students and/or parents to come up with this type of money? Get a job! Per the US bureau of Labor Statistic dated October 5, 2012, the unemployment rate in Brown County is 7.9%. If adults cannot get a job, then how do you expect a student to get a job and earn this, help pay for a car, car insurance and gas. Many of the student/athletes do not drive because of the cost associated with driving a vehicle. Would the school save money possibly but how many students would stick around for the pay to play? How about a loss in revenue to some of our local businesses? No more eating out before or after the home sporting events, spirit wear orders would drop, team pictures, gas stations, and I am
sure there are more businesses (big or small) that would lose revenue as well. Yes, it could be small but in this economy every dollar counts. In conclusion, a majority of us have competed in school athletic programs at no cost to us. I feel it is only fair that students have the same opportunity that you and I had as kids. I have no children involved in any sports programs as a student/athlete but I am willing to do what is necessary to allow these young people to continue competing. Western Brown parents and people who live and pay taxes in this district should be very proud of what YOU have accomplished. These students and athletes show great pride in their school and their actions on and off the field of competition. I also encourage you to get involved, educate and inform yourselves as to what is going on in your school district. Attend school board meetings, ask questions of your local school district, and be a part of the solution. Just do not sit back and say cut this or cut that without being fully informed and educated. One participant of this question stated that we need to find another way to fund the schools and I agree. However, this is going to take all of us to help find this solution. We must give these students and athletes every opportunity to success. Steve Swisher
Send more Democrats to Washington Dear Editor, Remember, too, that the first essential of doing a job well is to want to see the job done. Make no mistake about this: The Republican leadership today is not against the way we have done the job. The Republican leadership is against the job's being done. --Franklin D. Roosevelt, 1936. FDR never forgot that it was these "malefactors of great wealth," as his cousin Theodore Roosevelt labeled them, who brought the country to ruin in 1929, and he spent the better part of his presidency in battle against the forces that wanted to return the United States to the so-called Gilded Age of unfettered capitalism. nextnewdeal.net, David Woolner, 10,4,2012. Yes, a lot has changed since 1929 FDR and the unions changed this country for the better and if you don't believe that you should start
studying history. You know what they always say, "if we don't learn from history we are bound to repeat it." The people who had control of the living and working conditions 80 years or so ago, for the most part were not very much interested in a persons well being. Knowing what conditions were then should let you know what things would be with the Republicans in control. They always speak off regulations making it hard for them to produce anything. Regulations keep us safe in the workplace, keep us from breathing dirty air, safe from tires blowing up causing accidents, and don't forget to buckle-up. The people behind the carved figureheads, the ones actually pulling the strings are evil. If I didn't know this in my heart I would not be working this hard to keep them as far away from our government in Columbus or Washington
D.C. Commenting on Ms. Rich's letter she talks about privatizing medicare. I do not know what she means unless for instance. It is like when in 2008 people who had 401k's and were ready to retire and the bottom fell out of the markets. Then there plans for retirement were gone. She talks about people making good choices on their own. I guess she is very naive or too young to have missed out on how many people don't have life insurance, car insurance or health insurance. And we, she and I know it takes healthy people as well as sick people for health insurance to work, good drivers as well as bad drivers for car insurance to work, and for life insurance we need people that live to be 100 yrs old. For we know some of us will die very young. Yes and we all know people who do not carry any insurance. That's why we need government to
see that everyone buy's into a plan. As for doctors who have stopped taking Medicare, I wouldn't want to go to them for it looks to me they are just in medicine for the money. As for Ms. Ballein. I miss spoke about my maybe being in the 47%. I do pay income tax. I am a retired Teamster, and I have a good pension. It is of my belief that most people living on Social Security, and many in the military do not pay income tax. Now for Mr. Garbett only one thing comes to mind concerning his extensive writing. There's this old saying 'if you can't convince with logic baffle them with bulloney.' Now just one more reminder W and the Republicans got us in this mess and we should use common sense and keep as many Democrats in Washington D.C. as possible. Danny Books Sr.
2016 an eye-opening look at Obama
CMYK
Dear Editor, Recently my wife and I attended a showing of the movie ‘2016: Obama’s America’. Quite an eyeopener! Attend it and judge for yourself. What becomes readily apparent is how Mt. Obama has embraced a radical leftist viewpoint in order to connect with an identity that was birthed in an idea instilled by his mother, wrapped around an absentee father. Remarkable! It makes sense. But no matter how the man ultimately de-
veloped his leftist orientation, the fact remains that he is still a committed socialist and Americans are buying into the myth of bigger government is more desirable and a redistribution of wealth the remedy for poverty. Such thinking is extremely riddled with holes. Socialism removes human incentive and desire to achieve more for personal gain. To equalize the playing field by means of governmental imposition is simple totalitarianism. Gov-

ernment gains more control and individuals fail to put forth any effort to get ahead because there is no further reason to get ahead. Why bother? Everybody gets the same amount anyway, no matter how hard they work and put forth an effort. (In other words, its contrary to human nature.) But, then again, possibly the American public wants government to be its babysitter, maybe its tired of working to achieve better things for itself. Quite possibly we’ve come to a place
where we’re ready to be controlled more and more throughout every area of our lives. Sad, but true. Possibly this is the logical conclusion of what we are becoming as a nation. Weird, huh? Communist China recognizes its need to embrace capitalism and America embraces the idea of becoming socialistic ... well, shut my mouth and give me a bowl of rice and a fish head, honey!

$250,000 grant from the Appalachian Regional Commission Sept. 28 that will be used to help train students in the manufacturing program. “We are so grateful for this $250,000 from the Appalachian Regional Commission,” UC Clermont Dean Gregory Sojka said during the presentation. The college provided a $250,000 match for the grant, and Sojka said they will use the funds for additional equipment in the Manufacturing Technology Center at the UC East campus, located at the former Ford plant. Earl Gohl, federal co-chair of the Appalachian Regional Commission, said UC Clermont submitted a proposal for the funds and described how they would use the money to help improve their facility and train more students for manufacturing jobs. Gohl said the college submitted a strong proposal and it made its way to the top of the pile quickly. “This is great we are able to do this today,” Gohl said about presenting the check. Gohl said he has hosted a number of round table discussions regarding the manufacturing industry and has discovered a common theme.

Officials with the Appalachian Regional Commission presented a $250,000 manufacturing grant to University of Cincinnati Clermont College administrators Sept. 28. From left are Commissioner Bob Proud, ARC Co-Chair Earl Gohl, UC Clermont Assistant Dean John Nelson, Dean Gregory Sojka and John Hemmings with the ARC.
“Employers were looking for workers they couldn’t find,” Gohl said. “That shows how critical it is to get ahead of the curve.” Gohl, who was able to tour the UC East facility, said there is a lot of potential for the college to train students for specific manufacturing jobs, which he said will create an economy that was built to last. “This is a project where we are taking federal funds and investing in local schools working with local compa-
nies,” he said. Dexter Hulse, associate professor of the computer aided design program and the manufacturing technology program, said for him, receiving additional funding is helping his dream of having a manufacturing training center at the college come true. “We started planning years ago,” Hulse said about creating a space for manufacturing students. Hulse shared his goals and even the drawings he created years ago that highlighted
what a manufacturing facility and program could look like. “Here we go, it is happening,” Hulse said. Hulse said several local manufacturing companies that are looking for trained employees have supported the program. He said having a functional training center for students will help provide those companies with workers and helping students find really good employment. “It’s a wonderful thing going on here,” Hulse said.

In Loving Memory of
Vicki McCall Who Passed Away October 3, 2011
One year ago God called our dear loved one away, He sent the angel of death without much warning. With the Lord as her Shepherd, I know she has gone home. Where she will be blessed, For the deeds she has done. Sometimes it seems life just can’t go on, But that is not the way she would want it done. She would want us to be both brave and strong, Until at last we’re all called home. We miss her greatly and don’t understand, That He has taken her to a far greater land. And left us here on earth with it’s trouble and strife, While she is blessed with Eternal Life. We know you are happy, Up in that Promised Land. We will be too, when Jesus says Shake hands with Vicki again.

Joel 3:1: “For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem.” If we were to put a date on when that happened we would have to say that they came back into their land May 14, 1948. They were back, however, it was and still is, a long process. Now there is a gap between verse 1 and verse 2. “I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.” The only time the land was parted was in 1947 when the United Nations took up the subject of Israel. British troops, under the leadership of General Allenby, took control of the entire land of Israel which they had taken from the Ottoman Empire in World War I. It became a British colony and remained so clear up unto the 1940’s. During the 40’s the United Nations became involved. After millions of Jews were slain during the Holocaust, many of the remaining decided that they wanted to go back to their own land. At that time the president of the United States, Harry S. Truman, told England to keep the Balfour Declaration, which they had committed to, and give the land to Israel. However, the Arabs stepped in and put a lot of pressure on England. That had the effect of making England renege on their committment, allowing only a few Jews to return to their land. The United Nations then took it upon themselves to intervene and part the land giving some to the Jews and some to the Palestinians. That is the parting of what God called His land by the nations in verse 2. The United Nations made the divisions called the West Bank and quote: “Occupied Territory” which we hear so much about. They drew the line in the sand in 1947! In 1948 the Jews returned to the portion granted to them and on May 14th David Ben-Gurion proclaimed the new nation of Israel. Who gave the United Nations the authority to part God’s land, the land that He gave to the Jews? That is a good question! And God might just have an issue with their answer! Now watch, ladies and gentlemen; from
DR. CHARLES SMITH MT. ORAB BIBLE BAPTIST CHURCH WWW.BBMTORAB.COM
1948 up until the present day the Jews have been back in the land and it is still divided. Some say that the United States should step in and solve the problem. Let me tell you something. Neither Democrats nor Republicans have been able to solve it in all these years and they never will. There is only one who will solve this problem and He is found right here in this chapter! He says I in verse 1; He says I in verse 2; He says I in verse 4; He says I in verse 7; He says I in verse 8 and ends this verse with: “...for the LORD hath spoken it.” He says I in verse 12; He says I in verse 17 and 21. The only one who will solve this problem is God Almighty! Where do we get the notion that we are supposed to do what God alone is going to do? When I was young an old man once told me never get between a husband and a wife when there is trouble brewing. Well, don’t you realize that God is the husband and Israel is His wife? Now don’t get me wrong. There is no doubt in my mind that in the past God has used the United States as well as other countries to help the nation of Israel. But don’t forget that there comes a time to wean the baby. And there is a time when God is going to say: stay back, this is my wife and I will take care of her! There has been a lot of talk over the years of how we will solve Israel’s problems and talk is all that it has ever been. I personally think we have come to a place in the history of time to where as we approach the Rapture of the church that we are also approaching the time of the maturity of the nation of Israel. Not only does God use the word I many times in this chapter but He also uses the word my to describe His people, His land, and His heritage. He will restore Israel; He will take care of His own!

Colin Vessels begins second 4 year tour of duty
B R O A D S H E E T E V E N
Air Force Senior Airman Colin Vessels has reenlisted for a second 4-year tour of duty prior to his detachment's overseas deployment. He is the older grandson of Ray and Barbara Gardner of Brown County. In June, Colin deployed with a detachment of Air Force security policemen from Joint Base Elmendorf - Richardson in Anchorage, Alaska. A detachment is a group of airmen and their sergeants who train and work together on a specific deployment. The airmen traveled to Guam by way of Seattle and Japan. They trained members of the Guam Air National Guard on the air base security procedures they will use during their joint deployment. Colin reenlisted August 31 in the 407th Security Forces Squadron Commander's office prior to their overseas departure. The detachment has departed from Alaska and has arrived safely at their overseas air base in Southwest Asia. They have joined the 379th Air Expeditionary Wing that provides perimeter and gateway security at numerous air bases in the Southwest Asia - Saudi Arabian region. The 379th does not disclose specific duty locations or dates for security reasons. (They do report that the day there begins at 96 degrees at 8 a.m., and can reach 122 degrees in the afternoons). The air bases guarded by the 379th Security Forces Squadron support coalition air missions to the Middle East, the Horn of Africa (Somali pirates), Afghanistan, Iraq, and the Persian Gulf.

“Ghosts of Ohio” event at SSCC’s South Campus on October 25 Meet “The Ghosts of Ohio” founder James Willis at a special event to be held 6 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 25, in the Learning Resources Center on Southern State Community College’s South Campus, 12681 U.S. Route 62, near Sardinia. The event is free and open to the public. Founded in 1999, The Ghosts of Ohio is a nationally recognized paranormal-research organization that uses scientific and historic methods to investigate and document reported hauntings in the state of Ohio. “We are one of the most reputable and prominent not-for-profit organizations in the state and have been in continuous operation since our founding,” said Willis. Members of The Ghosts of Ohio are volunteers who
come from different backgrounds and have varying beliefs in ghosts and the afterlife. They first look for “natural” reasons for reported occurrences before assuming paranormal ones. “Some of us may be skeptics and some might be believers, but we are all seeking the truth,” said Willis. From its headquarters in Columbus, The Ghosts of Ohio operates and maintains two fully operational outposts—in Cincinnati and Cleveland—to better meet the needs of their clients. In the years that
The Ghosts of Ohio has been in operation, group members have collectively visited more than 100 public haunted locations in the state of Ohio. They have also conducted more than 40 investigations of private homes. In addition, The Ghosts of Ohio maintains a database of all reported haunted sites in Ohio. Currently, the database contains close to 2,000 entries. For more information about the Oct. 25 meet-the-author event at Southern State, contact Carissa Thatcher at 1-800628-7722, ext. 3681, or cthatcher@sscc.edu.

WB/SSCC officials meet, discuss partnership On September 20, 2012, representatives from Southern State Community College and Western Brown Local School District met to discuss expanding and improving their partnership. The discussion began by determining what each educational agency felt they could attribute to the partnership and the vision they had for the future. With Southern State moving to Mt. Orab in two years and locating so close to WB's campus, the partnership's ability to give students more opportunities could increase and better ensure that students can be successful in finding the right career path whether it be an Associates Degree, Technical Certification, or a Bachelors. Western Brown's Superintendent Chris Burrows commented, "At first we were very hesitant about Southern State moving so close to us with the potential competition that may surface between us, but because we want to always put kids first, we felt that together our two institutions could join hands, move forward, and develop quality options for our students and their families." Western Brown now offers dual credit classes in which students are earning college credit while in high school. Currently, students attending WB can earn up to 44 semester college credits which has the potential of saving families a significant amount of money. The partnership will continue to meet to determine how to best help students transition to college and be prepared for their future careers.

September's Community Resource Person, Jeanie Taylor, visited Hamersville School second graders. Jeanie gave a presentation about raising gourds, and turning them into birdhouses and decorative pieces. She and her husband, Dennis, raise about 50 to 60 gourds every year. Once the gourds are harvested, they place them in the barn to dry. Then they paint them, and turn them into Martin houses. She brought gourds of various kinds, shapes, and sizes. She told students that the kind of gourds they raise are not edible. Hamersville grade two teachers and students wish to thank Jeanie Taylor for using her value time to share her hobby with us.

6, which will be opened when necessary to continue operations. The Georgetown landfill has room for 12 such cells. Rumpke said that is enough to ensure the landfill can remain open between fifty and one hundred years depending on intake volume. Rumpke added that the inspections of the cell as it is constructed are performed by a third party to ensure that no shortcuts are taken. “We want to make sure the work is done right the first time”, Rumpke said. Once trash begins to be dumped into the new cell, the runoff water at the surface will be routed to a holding pond and tested once per month. The water that leaches down to the bottom is pumped out, tested twice per month, and sent to the local sewer system. Rumpke said that the effort to build another cell was very much worth it in the long term.

After that, the cell will be ready to accept waste. “One way to think about it is as a giant Tupperware bowl”, said Rumpke Corporate Communications Coordinator Molly Yeager Broadwater. The entire cell is built and tested from the bottom up to ensure that waste is contained with no leakage into the ground below. The clay is tested to make sure it solid throughout and the plastic liner is tested for holes as well. The clay itself came from landfill property. Rumpke Regional Vice President Todd Rumpke said that the lifespan of the new cell will be four to five years based on the 2000 tons of trash being brought into the landfill on a daily basis. The cell is referred to internally at the landfill as “Phase 5”. It is the fifth cell that at the landfill that will be accepting waste. Rumpke said that dirt is being excavated from Phase

negative advertising that his father has been experiencing. “I don’t like to come to swing states and turn on the TV because it’s so bad. But I think that as people get to see my dad, they’ll realize that he’s not the person that those ads are saying he is.” Finally, Romney talked about why he thought his father would do well in Brown County. “I think people in smaller towns have been hit the hardest by the Obama economy. People in agriculture and small business are being hurt by tax increases and regulation.” He ended the interview with a plea to voters. “Please vote early, vote for my dad and please help us get the country back on track.”
Varnau turned down by U.S. Supreme Court CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear the case, the ruling of the Ohio Supreme Court favoring Wenninger stands. "I've taken all the shots and I'm still standing", Wenninger said. "We have come out on top every single time in this case and I'm glad it's over. It's just too bad that I've had to spend a large amount of time on this issue rather than serving the people of Brown County as their Sheriff. I'm looking forward to putting this issue behind me for good and continuing to serve the people." Varnau submitted the following statement regarding the decision to the Brown County Press. "Nothing is more fundamental to our system of government than the due process of law. Anyone, including myself, approaching the courts, hoping the merits of his case will be heard, should have a reasonable expectation that the court will do so objectively, and in the process uphold its own precedent when addressing the issues and not completely avoid them through the use of inapplicable procedural barriers. Avoiding the addressing of facts and issues present through the use of erroneous legal concepts in order to bypass the merits of a case, in violation
of one's constitutional rights, should never be sanctioned by any American. This, however, is the sad story and record of my case in these corrupt Ohio courts. Paul Hall, Chairman of the Brown County Republican Party said in 2008, "He'll [Varnau] never get his case through our [Republicandominated] courts." Another Republican professional said, "No Republican court will hold for him [Varnau]." These statements juxtaposed reasoning contained in the decisions handed down by the 12th District Court of Appeals and Ohio Supreme Court, in my quo warranto case, clearly indicate the potential criminal activity going on between these courts and Republican Party operatives to protect their political power and control that undermines from within our constitutional system of jurisprudence. Republicans and the "rule of law" - at best a joke in Ohio. It's "no rule of law," just like that for Obama and the "Fast and Furious" Democrats in Washington, D.C. Don't be bamboozled by those who will gloat over the outcome of my case in the U.S. Supreme Court. Still to this day, not one Court or Board of Elections has yet addressed the facts surrounding the illegality of Mr. Wenninger's tenure in office,
or his legal title and claim to the position. Right now, under Revised Code and Administrative law provisions for peace officers, Mr. Wenninger is legally classified as a civilian. He has knowingly been personating the sheriff to defraud the county taxpayers out of a sheriff's salary for over 12 years. No court or person with the authority, duty, and power, like county prosecutor Jessica Little, will uphold the law in this matter because of pure party politics, nothing more or less. In the video recording of my Board of Elections protest in 2008, Board member Paul Hall states that Mr. Wenninger's lack of qualifications to be a candidate in 2000, was, "just water under the dam." Water under a dam eventually eliminates the dam. Same concept applies to the substitution of political power and control in place of the law in the courts. EVERYONE is at risk of losing their constitutional protections, forever, with corrupt dishonest judges violating their oath of office daily." In a response, Hall said that the Board of Elections followed the recommendation of Brown County Prosecuting Attorney Jessica Little in addressing Varnau's complaint against Wenninger.

Five years in the making, G-Men get past Batavia BY Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press The date Oct. 4, 2012 has surely taken on new meaning to the Georgetown boys soccer team. Shortly before 7 p.m. last Thursday night that date didn’t have a real significant meaning to anyone associated with the G-Men soccer program. A little less than two hours later that date meant a whole lot more. It signified the precise point in time that the GMen took that next step, which in this case meant beating Southern Buckeye Conference-National Division bully Batavia. A moment that felt so close the three previous matchup’s during G-Men coach Neil Malone’s tenure yet, at the same time, so far away was finally reached last Thursday night when a stellar G-Men defensive performance and an opportunistic attack helped Georgetown knock off the Bulldogs 2-0 in front of an excited home crowd. The loss was the first for the Bulldogs in SBC-N play since 2007. “Nobody played bad. Nobody,” Malone said afterwards. “Usually you’ve got one guy who’s maybe having an off game. Thinking about his girlfriend (or) something like that. But tonight everybody played well. They wanted this pretty bad.” It was the G-Men defense that set the tone early

and often against the Bulldogs. Their athletic back line of DJ Latham, Quinn Sandlin, Bruce-Derrick Williams and Tanner Pack, as well as keeper Bannon Swartz, refused to let the Bulldogs find any traction on their attacks. Batavia was able to get a good amount of possession in the midfield but could hardly ever even reach the top of the box as a Georgetown defender would quickly clear the ball be-
fore anything harmful could take place. In fact, Batavia was spending much of its time trying to find shots from well beyond the box. None of those shots from distance came remotely close to finding the goal, however. It wasn’t just one or two defenders who made a big play. It was each and every one of them. “They played awesome,” Malone said. “If DJ was out of position, Tanner

recovered. I mean, Tanner cleared a ball off the line tonight. They played awesome.” As for the G-Men attack, it was essentially the opposite of the first time the team’s met. In the first matchup, a 32 loss to the Bulldogs in Batavia, the G-Men dominated possession and kept getting shots on goal but just couldn’t find net. This time around the GMen didn’t find a lot of possessions but when they did they made them count. Late in the first half Kyle Damen got possession of the ball near the midfield and took off up field before laying pass up the left sideline to teammate Logan Lucas. Lucas dropped a cross in to Austin Carrington, who tried to get off a shot. He couldn’t get it off but teammate Brandon Tucker was right there and tapped a shot past Batavia keeper Dylan Lipps for a 1-0 GMen lead with 4:14 left in the first half. They nearly doubled the lead right before half when Damen found Tucker streaking up the field. The senior forward got off a shot from the left side of the box that Lipps somehow dove and grabbed on his fingertips. A little over five minutes in the second half, Tucker got that second goal. This time Tucker took a great pass from Carrington, a flick pass over his head, CONTINUED ON PAGE 14

Football provides one young man a chance to overcome BY Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press Late last Friday night, during their win over Clermont Northeastern, a Western Brown freshman defensive lineman named Sean Green successfully lined up along the defensive line and contributed to his team’s defensive effort for a few plays. Given that the score was 51-7 in favor of the Broncos, it might not seem all that notable that a freshman defensive lineman got to play a few snaps. For this defensive lineman, however, it was just another step in the right direction for his development not so much as a football player but as a person. That’s because Sean has Asperger’s syndrome, the most highly functioning form of the autism spectrum disorders. While it is the most functioning form of autism, those with Asperger’s syndrome suffer from isolation due to poor social skills and narrow interests, according to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Strokes. Overcoming those limitations is no easy task, especially as Sean enters the social minefield that can be high school. Yet, just about six months after becoming a member of the Bronco football team, Sean continues to grow -- as a person, as a student, as a friend and, even, as a football player --
at rate that amazes those close to him. To those closest to him there is little doubt what the catalyst was for the changes -- being a member of the football team. “I’m just amazed by the whole structure,” Rene Green, his mother, said by phone recently. “They immediately made him one of the guys. He’s not treated differently. It’s just been a tremendously wonderful experience.” Growing up with Asperger’s, Sean was not a social child, according to his mother. He just wasn’t able to overcome his social struggles outside of those who were closest to him. He began to find ways to overcome the syndrome as he got closer to entering high school. The first giant step for Sean was signing up for talent shows so he could sing in seventh grade. But his nerves in situations like those contests continued there and in school. Most of his classmates had no idea that Sean had Asperger’s syndrome and some even bullied him because they just assumed his mannerisms and lack of social skills was because he was, as Rene put it, odd. It was about that time, in eighth grade, when Sean met the person Rene gives a lot of credit to helping her son start overcoming what he was dealt -- Western Brown football coach Evan CONTINUED ON PAGE 14

BY Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press That eerie feeling was beginning to set in for all who follow the Fayetteville volleyball team on Tuesday night. The Lady Rockets came into the third set against visiting Fairfield playing well and were up two sets to none in a match that was going to go a long way in deciding who wins the Southern Hills League Division II title. Despite playing well enough to take that two set lead, the Lady Rockets were fighting more than just a resilient, never-saydie Lady Lions squad. They were fighting themselves. In the only two losses they’ve suffered in the SHL this season the Lady Rockets taken two sets to none leads only to see that lead vanquish before, ultimately, falling. They lost their first matchup with the Lady Lions on Sept. 17 after taking the first two sets. Finding themselves in that all too familiar situation, the Lady Rockets had to persevere if they wanted to take back the SHL Division II title they lost a year ago. Despite the Lady Lions overcoming a six point lead late in the set to take a one point lead, the Lady Rockets refused to give in and they overcame. They scored the last three points of the third set after trailing 23-22, their first deficit of the set, to secure a three set win over the Lady Lions that secured at least a share of the SHL title. “We finally nipped it,” Fayetteville coach Sharon Sheets said of her team’s third set misfortunes. “And it’s a good time to nip it because this game counted the most.” It was by no means an

easy task to get to the third set up with the 2-0 lead for the Lady Rockets. The Lady Lions had taken early leads in each of the first two sets by playing their brand of volleyball -strong defense that kept the ball in perpetual motion. “They can get everything up, though,” Sheets said of the Lady Lions. “They’re relentless. They have a relentless defense.” After getting down early in each of the first two sets, the Lady Rockets (15-4, 10-2 SHL) jumped out to early lead in the key third set. Once Claire Carson’s kill hit the floor early in the set, the Lady Rockets had built an 8-4 lead. But, as Sheets said, the Lady Lions were relentless in clawing their way back. By the time Sydney

Orab Middle School, Dreyer began teaching Sean and quickly found out how to get through to him. “I started teaching him in eighth grade and developed a good relationship and found out that he would work hard for certain kind of things and our relationship built from there,” Dreyer said before the game with CNE last Friday night. The relationship Dreyer built with Sean is something that his mother believes is key to how far he has come. “Coach Dreyer is an awesome teacher and awesome with kids,” Rene said.
“He expanded his horizons. He helped Sean overcome things. It was just amazing how he built up his confidence.” She believes because of that relationship Sean signed himself up to play for the Broncos with no prodding from anyone. It is the first sport he’s ever played. From the first day of conditioning to the game against CNE, Sean has transformed in nearly every aspect of his life. He’s become more sociable and, as Rene and Dreyer both pointed out, has went from have just a couple of close friends to having a “band of brothers” from the football team and beyond. It’s helped him improve himself physically. He’s lost 35 pounds since starting football and has focused himself on eating

Then, after a timeout, two Lady Rockets combined to finish off the Lady Lions in a very appropriate fashion. Carson secured one her 14 digs with a big save that kept the ball up and Carly Burroughs -- who was very strong at the net all night long, particularly in the first two sets, with five blocks, six kills and just one error on her 26 attacks -- knocked it over and off a Lady Lions player for the 25th, and final, point. “We took control. I could tell they weren’t talking as much where we were. I mean, just little things like that,” Sheets said. “I thought we had a better intensity level than them.” The Lady Rockets could have clinched the outright league title with a win over Ripley on Oct. 11.

Sheets had her push go into the net midway through the third set, the score was suddenly tied at 12. The Lady Rockets weren’t knocked on their heels by the Lady Lions comeback, however. In fact, they hardly let it bother them. Sydney Sheets took the serve after her push into the net, with the score 13-12 in favor of the Lady Rockets, and promptly widened the Fayetteville lead. Three straight Sydney Sheets serves resulted in long rallies that were eventually won by the Lady Rockets before Emily Burroughs hit a ball that sat on the net for a second and rolled over for another point. Then Carson, the junior hitter and middle back, made one of her many big
defensive plays on the night. She dove to dig a Lady Lion hit out and it went over the net for a point that gave the Lady Rockets a 17-12 lead and forced a Fairfield timeout. “I can count on her. I pray that she’s in the back a lot of times just because she is a good defender,” Sheets said of Carson. “She can read the ball. She can read what they’re gonna do.” A point later the Lady Lions finally broke Sydney Sheets serve. Down by five points, 1813, the visitors, again, responded. They stole the momentum so quickly that before the Lady Rockets could right themselves the Lady Lions took a 23-22 lead. Just as they had done earlier in the set, however, the Lady Rockets righted themselves after Sheets called timeout. They came out of the timeout and got the serve back after a Lady Lion hit into the net. Gabby Valentine took

better and exercising. On the football field, he now understands exactly what he needs to do so that he can contribute, whether that be on Friday nights, for the freshman and junior varsity teams or simply every day in practice. It hasn’t always been easy, though. Dealing with teammates, coaches and expectations tested him. “(The) first couple weeks were very hard for him because he didn't know our schedule and didn't know what we were expecting him to do,” Dreyer said. “He's finally growing. He knows our schedule. He knows what we expect of him. He's actively involved in our practice now.
“He's grown tremendously in how he talks to other teammates, how he talks to coaches and how respective he is to other parents who come to our program to help us out. His social communication has grown into something that I wouldn't dreamed before.” Just from talking to those closest to him, there seems to be a palpable growth. It was also pretty apparent to an outsider. He was able to talk to this reporter, who he’d never met before, about why he enjoys football. “It's been great,” Sean said before the CNE game last Friday. “The people are nice. There's no bullies.” As his coach said, Sean knows exactly what he is
supposed to do now. “I'm a defensive lineman,” he said. “You just have to tackle the guy who has the ball and keep him from running a touchdown.” For as much as Broncos coaches and players have given to Sean, it seems he has given a little something back to them. “Sean is a kid that make's everybody smile, makes everybody laugh and, just, I leave practice with a smile because Sean always has some kind of line or sense of humor that makes me just know that football isn't a life,” Dreyer said. “That there's other things outside of football (and) that this is what it's all about.”
G-Men: In position to share league title after win CONTINUED FROM PAGE 13 and he dropped a perfect shot past a charging Lipps that bounced off the post and in to give the G-Men a 2-0 lead. “The two passes from Austin were amazing,” Malone said. “Even the shot that Tucker put on the goal the second time around that was pretty impressive. Those guys work really, really well up front together. They’re very unselfish.” From that point on it was up to the G-Men to make sure there was no letdown,
which is something that has happened in the past two years against the Bulldogs. This time it would be different. They frustrated the Bulldogs and the visitors got few good opportunities as the clock continued to wind down until the G-Men could unleash screams of joy for finally breaking through. “(It’s) big time,” Malone said of finally beating Batavia. “Anytime you play a team tough and you play the best game of your season and you lose to them, like we
did last year twice, it’s frustrating. They’re very, very talented. We just have the athleticism. They’re probably more skilled than we are but... we’re just more athletic. I don’t know if we have more guts but we sure played like it tonight.” The win, which improved the G-Men to 9-2-1, set the stage for the G-Men to at least share the SBC-N crown. The G-Men had to win their final two games, against CNE and Felicity, to clinch the share.

BY Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press Two quarters into their homecoming matchup with Clermont Northeastern last Friday night the Western Brown football team was playing fine. Thanks to a defense that was keeping the Rockets running game from taking off and, therefore, from doing much, the Broncos had built a comfortable lead. The Broncos offense had moved the ball pretty well and got into the end zone four times. Even though they had found the end zone multiple times, it still felt like the explosive Broncos offensive group wasn’t quite clicking on all cylinders. For a group that had carried a lot of the weight in the Broncos six straight wins to open the season -they’ve averaged nearly 50 points per game -- the offense expects a lot out of itself. They wasted little time living up to those expectations -- and putting win No. 7 in the bag -- in the third quarter last Friday night. The Broncos offense scored 21 unanswered points right out of halftime as they put away a 51-13 win. “Our attitude changed and the tempo went up,” senior offensive lineman Brad Hinkle said of the third quarter explosion. “We wanted the win. It’s homecoming. We just wanted to win.” Two touchdown passes from quarterback Devyn Wood to Christian Dawson within the first six and half minutes of the second half was just another example of the Broncos offense taking advantage of every single opportunity they get. Just as in previous, and much closer, games, the Broncos took advantage of their defense getting stops to put the pressure on opposing teams. In fact, they feel like if their defense gets just one or two stops they’ll make sure it holds up. “We talk about that. (The) defense, we need to make sure a few stops here and there and we can just take over,” offensive coordinator Jeff Essig said. The 21 point third quarter outburst against CNE also showed just how explosive this Broncos offense has become. Heading into the start of the season the coaches weren’t exactly sure to expect out of the unit. Much of that uncertainty was due to the fact the Broncos were going to have to rely on young and inexperienced players at virtually every offensive position. Outside of Hinkle, fellow lineman Kalen Kumpf and running back Gunnar Woodyard, every other position was going to be filled by someone stepping up to get their first real varsity action. They got even younger before the season even started when Caden Piatt, a senior receiver who was expected to be a big contributor, broke his collarbone in practice. He has yet to see the field this season. So, maybe not surprisingly, for much of the Broncos first game against Hillsboro on Aug. 24 all those youngsters had their hands fulls. After scoring on their first drive rather easily, the Broncos offense came to a halt. Before they knew it, the Broncos found themselves in a 14-14 deadlock with the a visiting Indians team that was driving for the goahead score with 14 and a half minutes left. It was at that exact moment -- after the defense made the first of what has become many big stops this year -- the Broncos offense found its groove. They scored 27 unanswered points in those final 14 and a half minutes against the Indians after the

defense forced a big turnover and have, seemingly, never looked back. “It was real big,” Wood, the quarterback, said of the Hillsboro game. “At the beginning of the game we really didn’t perform like I thought we should, like we knew we should. Coming in that last quarter and scoring 28, or 20-some points, it just made it like... we can do it. “ Since those momentary struggles against Hillsboro,
the Broncos offense has only continued to grow. Credit for the unit’s strong play can be given to many. Essig, who came over from the defensive side of the ball a year ago to take control of the offense, is quick to credit his junior quarterback. He hoped Wood would be able to be the offense’s distributor -- a point guard on the football field, if you will -- but the first year
varsity signal caller has given him so much more. Not only has he passed the ball very well, but he keeps defenses honest with his feet. “The past two games you’ve seen when he does have to run, he can. I think that’s part of the scheme also,” Essig said. “They’re not expecting him to run but they have to honor his feet, too.” It’s not just Wood who is putting up big numbers. His receivers and running backs have made big play after big play all year long. The mix of experience - seniors Gunnar Woodyard (running back) and Pierce Moore (receiver) and junior Jarred Haggerty (receiver) -- and youth -receivers Christian Dawson (sophomore) and Eean Hornung (freshman) -have come together very quickly to yield some very positive results. “I have all the confidence in the world in those guys,” Wood said. “They make all kinds of plays for me. They’re are some throws that probably should be intercepted but they make the plays and keep them from either getting interceptions or make the catch. They work hard and I know I can trust them for anything in football or outside of football.” For as well as Wood and the skill guys have played, getting such strong play from an offensive line group with little experience
may have been the key. The group seemingly gets better with every snap. “It’s brotherhood,” Hinkle said of why the line has come together so quickly. “Everybody knows each other. Everybody loves each other. It’s just a bond. We just get along so well.” Hinkle thinks the younger guys have come so far is such a little amount of time because they see the results of what the coaches have told them. “I think they’re getting it now,” he said. “Now that they’re seeing all the points up on the board they’re like, ‘Tempo is everything because we’re just running these guys in the dirt.’” Coming over to the offense this year, Essig knew he wanted to do one thing to get the offense rolling -find a balance. Having weapons spread out wide and in the backfield, Essig wanted to make sure everyone got touches so defenses couldn’t just key on one person. They had 28 rushing attempt and 24 passing attempts against the Rockets as they amassed 490 total yards in the win. “I think it’s huge,” Essig said of the balance. “You just can’t back off and look for the long ball. We’ll sneak it in there. We’re getting good yards. Each week I look at our comparison, our passing attempts and our run attempts. They’re right on, almost even.”
SCOREBOARD Football Rockets start slow in loss to Fairfield Christian The Fayetteville football hosted Fairfield Christian last Friday night and lost their sixth game this season 42-6. A poor first half was just too much for the Rockets to overcome despite playing better in the second. “We went out flat,” Rockets coach Harley McCullough said. “We played flat in the first half. We got down 42-0.” The Rockets shut out Fairfield Christian in the second half despite the visitors keeping their starters in almost all of the second half. In fact, thanks to a James Snider 14-yard touchdown run, they outscored them 6-0 in the final 24 minutes.

Rockets push through to earn tie BY Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press It wasn’t exactly the performance that Fayetteville boys soccer coach John Attinger had hoped for his team on Monday night. The Rockets had been playing some of their best soccer of the year heading into their rematch with Landmark Christian. Against the visiting Eagles, however, the Rockets weren’t as crisp passing the ball and simply could never find their game. Despite their struggles, they persevered and fought back to tie the Eagles 2-2 when Toby Lykins’ shot was deflected into the goal with about four minutes left. “This team will never give up. Never,” Attinger said. “They haven’t all year. They play from the first whistle to the last whistle. Very, very pleased about that. That will never be a fault for a our team.” Even though they may not have played their best, the Rockets still came out of the gate pretty strong. The Rockets were the aggressors early and kept much of the possession for a good portion of the first half. And early on that paid big dividends. Christian Conner knocked home a shot in the first 10 minutes to give the Rockets a very early 1-0 lead. “Come out and played very well at the beginning of the first half,” Attinger said. “Played our game. Short passes. Found feet like our game plan normally is.” For the rest of the half, it seemed like the Rockets continually would get up the field for attacks but could simply never finish. Attinger attributed much of that to his team playing a direct game. By playing a direct game Attinger felt like his team tried to attack the middle too often and would get bunched up. The result of playing like that was not getting many real good opportunities at the goal despite seemingly always

being in the Eagles box. “(We) played direct too much. We didn’t get the ball wide,” Attinger said. “(We) didn’t get the outside mids the ball enough.” Late in the first half, after they had done a pretty good job defending to that point, the Rockets gave up the tying goal on a bit of a miss play. A Landmark forward got on a run up the field and stayed onside as he came in contact with the ball. Fayetteville keeper Kasey Fitzpatrick tried to come out and kick the ball to clear it but didn’t get a piece of the ball. As Fitzpatrick missed his kick, Rocket defender Nick Durham, who was trying to track the Eagle forward, was on a crash course with his keeper. The two ran into each other and the Eagles tied the match at one as he tapped the ball into an open net. Coming out of half tied at one apiece, Attinger had to feel good considering he believes his team to be play better in the second half. Against the Eagles that wasn’t quite the case. The Rockets struggled at times in the second half as the Eagles began to collect more possession, make more runs and get some shots on goal. And with a little less than 18 minutes left, the
visitors took the lead. Again, it was another Eagles forward who made a run up the field and got an open look, which he nailed. Finding themselves down by a goal, 2-1, the Rockets began to put pressure on the Eagles again. They started to send more players up field on the attack and found some success. Max Iles nearly tied the score with about 14 minutes left but his shot was just wide. Lykins nearly put a header in minutes later but the Landmark keeper tapped it out. Finally, with 4:16 left, the Rockets found their equalizer. Lykins hit a shot from about 15 yards out that deflect off a Landmark defender and in to tie the match at 2-2. “We pushed nine guys through the offense,” Attinger said. “At that point if they score another goal, what’s it matter? We had to score just to get a tie.” The tie gave the Rockets a 8-3-3 record and kept their coach still feeling pretty good heading towards a first round Southwest District Division III sectional matchup with Reading. “Right now we’re heading into tournament time,” he said, “and we’re ready. We’re ready.”

BY Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press LYNCHBURG-- The ending was memorable and exciting; the result wasn’t. Eastern’s girls soccer team traveled to battle Lynchburg-Clay on Wednesday evening for a shot at claiming the outright Southern Hills League title. Battling a physical Lady Mustang squad on it’s enormous home field and a stiff, and at times downright chilling, wind, the Lady Warriors could just never seem to get going. They seemed to be a step behind to each loose ball as the Lady Mustangs controlled the pace and play nearly the entire game. Yet, with about eight minutes to go, Lady Warrior senior Tressie Lewis stepped up and nailed a free kick from straight on just outside the box to help the visitors earn a 1-1 tie. “We just couldn’t seem to get anything together coach today,” Eastern Sarah Koehler said afterwards. “I’m not really sure what was going on. They beat us to every ball and we were just kind of going through the motions until the end. “We tied it up, which is better than losing. We’ll take it.” Playing on the giant, open field at Lynchburg High School, it was a very cold day for soccer. A constant, and at times strong, wind was prevalent throughout the entire match. That wind didn’t help the Lady Warriors in the opening 40 minutes. Not only did they have trouble getting the ball to the middle of the field but they simply couldn’t get many shots off. The few shots they did get off had very little on them. “Awful,” Koehler said of playing in the wind. “It kept going out of bounds every time you would kick. This field is, like, crowned anyways so everything goes to the sides. But, yeah, the wind was awful. We could not get anything to come over here.” Meanwhile, the Lady Mustangs had little trouble maintaining possession, especially in the first half. They made run after run at the Eastern goal but the Lady Warriors defense and keeper Alex Davis did enough to keep them from

The Western Brown volleyball team continued its dominance of the Southern Buckeye ConferenceAmerican Division by winning its seventh straight league title with a win over New Richmond on Tuesday night. Before they beat the Lady Lions this week, though, the Lady Broncos (19-2, 9-0 SBC-A) had to get through SBC-A second place team Goshen last Thursday night. They did just that in dominant fashion -- sweeping the Lady Warriors 2519, 25-21 and 25-9. “We played strong both on offense and defense,” Lady Broncos coach Carla Fite said of the win over Goshen. Fittingly, Kylie Garrett led the way on senior night. The senior hitter racked up 19 kills and had just two attack errors on the night. Leah Leist added 24 assists to buoy the offense while Mackaela Fischer (six blocks) and Becca DeBord (three blocks) combined to lead a Lady Bronco defense that also had 15 digs. Then, on Tuesday night, the Lady Broncos traveled

getting great looks. But, with 23:26 left in the first half, they were able to finish for the first time thanks to a little help from the Lady Warriors. Shelby Stewart got behind the Lady Warriors defense and Davis after they tried to clear a ball near the top of the box and drilled an open shot on net to give the hosts a 1-0 lead. Even as the Lady Mustangs kept attacking, they weren’t able to connect on any of their shots, partly due to the Lady Warriors. Holding off the Lady Mustangs enough to keep themselves within reach, the Lady Warriors came out of the second half playing better soccer. They started to take some possession away from the Lady Mustangs with some solid play in the midfield. Even as the Lady Warriors were starting to play better, the Lady Mustangs still were getting the better opportunities on attacks. However, just as in the first half, the Lady Warriors did, as Koehler put it, just enough to keep the hosts from adding to their lead. It looked like they may have put this one out of reach late, however, when it looked like the Lady Mustangs had scored off a corner. The officials were right on the scene, though, and called Lynchburg for a handball in the box that took the tally off the board with 10:08 left. Still trailing by just one, the Lady Warriors kept
pushing for the equalizer. They got it just minutes later thanks in part to another Belmont run. The sophomore forward was about to take off towards the goal behind the Lynchburg defense when she was knocked over by a Lady Mustang defender. A foul called, Lewis stepped up to take a free kick just outside the box from straight on and she nailed it. “We were not getting any good looks and that was...thank God,” Koehler said. Knocking home free kicks for winning goals late has become something of a Lewis staple lately. “She has worked really hard on that,” her coach said, “and she’s finally got it down.” Both teams pushed for the winner in the final minutes and Lynchburg had a shot with just seconds left off a free kick but Stewart was called for foul as she jumped into Davis as the keeper went for the ball as time expired. Happy to have tied and not lost, the result was bittersweet for the Lady Warriors -- mostly because they had to win to claim the league title. Neither team has a league loss but the Lady Warriors have now tied twice while the Lady Mustangs have just the one tie. “It’s frustrating to come down to the last game and have a tie be what gets ya,” Koehler said. “We’ll take league runner-up. We’ll take it.”
Georgetown’s Poe, McElroy compete in district tournament at Weatherwax GC BY Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press The seasons of Georgetown golfers Trent Poe and Clinton McElroy came to end last Thursday afternoon at Weatherwax Golf Course in Middletown at the Southwest District Division III tournament. Poe, a junior making his second straight trip to the district tournament, finished in a tie for 36th place after shooting a 91. His teammate McElroy, a sophomore, shot a 92, which left him in a tie for 38th place. Sean Steinman, of Summit Country Day, and Nick Sims, of West Liberty Salem, each shot a 75 and earned the two individual state qualifying spots that the Georgetown duo were playing for. While the district tournament may have been the end of their seasons, it was also the finish of what had been very strong seasons for Poe, McElroy and their Georgetown golf team. The G-Men golfers earned a Southern Buckeye Conference-National Division title by improving their scores over the course of the five round league play before playing well enough at the sectional tournament at Walden Ponds Golf Course to miss qualifying to districts as a team by just eight shots. Strong rounds by Poe and McElroy at the sectional earned them qualifications to the district tournament as individuals.

Drug Patents: what all they involve Cincinnati Walks for Kids Figuring out when a A question I hear all the generic is going to come helps children in our community time is: “When is ________ H out is a little like reading (insert expensive brand TOM CALLAHAN, RPH (up to 14 years total). So if a new drug takes 9 years from discovery to market, that means they still have 11 years left on the patent. If 5 of those years were spent in the approval process, they can get 3 of those years back so the patent life will effectively be 14 years. Seems pretty straightforward, right? A drug’s patent can last for up to 14 years from when it is approved. Unfortunately that only applies to the original patent for the active ingredient. Along the way drug companies also patent things the purification like process, the coating, different formulations of the drug, and anything else that happens to the active ingredient along the way from discovery to market. By the time a drug is finally approved, it’s usually covered by a myriad of patents. These secondary patents can extend the patent life of the drug for many years. The original patent of the new chemical that is the active ingredient is almost always enforceable. The secondary patents that are filed while a drug is in development are what generic companies challenge in court.

The 2012 Cincinnati Walks for Kids benefiting Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center will be held Saturday, Oct. 20, at Coney Island. Cincinnati Walks for Kids is more than a fundraising walk, it is a day of family fun and celebration. The day begins with an opening ceremony to honor the patients, families and caregivers of the medical center and thank the community for its commitment to Cincinnati Children’s. Walkers may choose a 3mile or 1-mile walk route. All walkers will receive a finisher’s ribbon as they cross the finish line, followed by a complimentary lunch. Throughout the day, participants can enjoy a festive atmosphere where children can create a helping hands wreath, ride five classic Coney Island rides and have their faces painted. Families can also visit the Remembrance Garden, a serene setting to honor loved ones. There is no registration fee to participate in Cincinnati Walks for Kids.

name drug) going to be out in generic?” Unfortunately, the answer to that question, like most things that have to do with the Federal government, is very complicated. Let’s start at the beginning. A patent is a legal protection for a new invention that lasts for a limited time period. So if you invent a new gadget and patent it, no one can copy that gadget until the patent runs out. Drugs and medical devices patented after June 8, 1995, have patents that will last for 20 years. Twenty years seems like a long time before a generic can come out, but you have to remember that the drug approval process usually takes around 10 years from the time of discovery until FDA approval. Losing at least half of your exclusive market time can be a major financial setback to a company, therefore in 1984, Congress passed the HatchWaxman Act. Part of the Hatch-Waxman Act helped drug companies out by restoring some of the time lost by the long approval process to get a drug to market. The clock starts when a company files an InvestigaNew Drug tional Application and runs until final approval. As long as the company is actively pursuing the application, they can get up to 5 years put back on the patent life

to find ten members and raise a thousand dollars, but in the end we exceeded both goals and were able to celebrate with 16 members and over $1,600 raised. Saturday, September 29, 2012, our team met bright and early at Great American Ballpark in Cincinnati, Ohio, to show our gratitude to Susan G. Komen for the Cure and the opportunity they have given us. Five hundred and twenty-two teams gathered to show their support and we were proud and honored to be among them. It is a re-
warding and inspiring experience to be among so many that have the same dreams; number one let us find a cure for cancer, and number two, if we can’t find a cure then let us catch it early enough to save lives. If you do not have insurance that will pay for your mammogram or breast ultrasound and would like more information on how to receive no cost breast imaging please call 937378-7575. Spread the word, we are saving lives, and you can too.

BY Faye Mahaffey Master Gardner Volunteer Warning: our woodlands are being invaded by a nonnative invasive shrub named “bush honeysuckle”. They are upright deciduous shrubs with long arching branches, are commonly 6 to 20 feet tall, and have shallow root systems. They were first introduced into the United States in the mid to late 1800’s from Europe and Asia for use as ornamentals, wildlife food and cover, and erosion control. These nonnative plants thrive in full sunlight, but can tolerate moderate shade, and are therefore aggressive invaders of a variety of sites including abandoned fields, roadsides, right-of-ways, woodland edges, and the interiors of open woodlands. Honeysuckle out competes and shades out desirable native woodland species, and can form pure, dense thickets totally void of other vegetation. Reproduction and spread is by both sprouting and seeds, which are disseminated primarily by birds. The three most common bush honeysuckle species found in Ohio, Tartarian, Amur, and Morrow, can be distinguished from each other by characteristics of their leaves and flowers. If you want to learn more about characteristics of each species, go to the ohioline.osu.edu website and search for Fact Sheet F-6810, Controlling Non-Native Invasive Plants in Ohio Forests: Bush Honeysuckle. When trying to control non-native invasive bush honeysuckle, there are several methods that may be considered. Which method is applied depends on the size of the plants, the size of the infestation, and a landowner’s comfort level with the control method. The bush honeysuckles as a group are shallow rooted plants that leaf out before many of our native plants and lose their leaves after many of our native plants. Both of these characteristics give landowners some flexibility in their choice of control options. For a more detailed description of the methods covered see OSU Extension’s, Controlling Undesirable Trees, Shrubs, and Vines, Forestry Fact Sheet F45. I have been working on a new area each year along our tree line pulling the smaller bush honeysuckle plants. The dry summer put me behind schedule, but the rains in September have given me an opportunity to start the elimination process again. When

Bush Honeysuckle
I come upon bush honeysuckle too large to pull, I cut the shrub off close to the ground and apply an herbicide to the cut surface. OSUE Fact Sheet F-68-10 provides important information about mechanical control, foliar spraying, cut stump herbicide treatment, and basal spraying. Label recommendations must be followed to maximize the potential for successful control. Did your garden survive the frost? We are still enjoying tomatoes from the garden, but the cooler weather has certainly affected their
“flavor”. I was in northern Ohio this past week-end and the color of the leaves was spectacular! As I walked around the block today I noticed changes in the maple leaves. Of course the buckeye leaves have dropped and the pawpaw leaves have all yellowed. My burning bush is finally beginning to fire up some red in its leaves. Can you believe it is already October? It’s not too late to sign up for the Master Gardener Training Classes that begin on October 9. The class will last 8 weeks and will be held on Tuesdays and Thursdays at Western Brown High School in Mt. Orab. For more information about the classes, you can call the OSU Extension Office in Adams, Brown, Clermont, or Highland Counties. October 18 is the next gardening seminar held at the Fincastle campus of Southern State College. Seminars are free and open to the public and are held in the library from 6:00 p.m. until 7:30 p.m. October’s topic is Amending the Soil and will be taught by David Dugan. Have you planted some new mums for a spark of color? Be sure to find a place to tuck some pansies and violas for color when the temdrops and perature everything else turns brown!

The term “pay it forward” is used to describe the concept of repaying a good deed done to you by doing a good deed to another. In the Summer of 2011 Southwest Regional Medical Center (then Brown County General Hospital) received a grant for $10,000 from Susan G. Komen for the Cure to provide no cost breast imaging to women in need. That year 99 exams were performed, and lives were changed. We realized there was more of a need for no cost services that even we as mammographers had suspected. In March of 2012 we submitted an additional grant request to Susan G. Komen for the Cure, this time in the amount of $15,000, and once again the Susan G. Komen foundation responded. Southwest Regional Medical Center in conjunction with Brown County Health and Wellness has imaged an additional 56 women to date with plans to double that number in the next six months. Each of these ladies came to us with a need that we were able to meet, and a wish that we were able to grant. The Susan G. Komen Foundation of Greater Cincinnati gave us the ability to change lives, and to save lives, and we didn’t have the words to express our gratitude. Our Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure team is our small effort to give back some of what this foundation has given to us. A handful of SWRMED mammographers and diagnostic imaging staff gathered others from our circle of friends, family and coworkers and formed Team Pay It Forward. We chose our team name, to show that we recognize the gift we were given and that we want to return that good deed to others. We hoped
Sheriff’s Office investigation unit obtain three confessions in Burglary Sheriff Dwayne Wenninger reports that on September 15, 2012 the Brown County Sheriff’s Office took a report of a burglary from a residence on Old A&P Road near Higginsport, Ohio. The victim stated that her son, James Collett, and two of his friends were at her residence earlier that day. The victim tracked her son to a residence in Bethel where she confronted him about the burglary but he refused to cooperate. Bethel Police Department was called to the scene and the stolen items from the burglary were recovered. Items included 4 shotguns, a .22 caliber revolver, 2 crossbows, miscellaneous medications and numerous fishing poles. The Bethel Police Department arrested James Collett, 28 years of age, of Gillette Station Road, Hamersville, on several outstanding warrants (unrelated to the burglary) for Non-support, Passing Bad Checks and Failure to Appear. He was transported to the Brown
County Adult Detention Center, where he remains incarcerated on the unrelated charges. The Brown County Sheriff’s Office Investigation Unit questioned Collett concerning the Burglary, and he revealed that the two other individuals with him during the Burglary were Kevin Hartness, 27 years of age, of Florence Avenue, Bethel, OH and Jimmy Harding, 21 years of age, of State Route 132, New Richmond, OH. Interviews with all three suspects by the Brown County Sheriff’s Office Investigation Unit resulted in three confessions to the Burglary. The Brown County Sheriff’s Office will be presenting charges of Burglary and felony Theft of Firearms (5 counts) against Kevin Hartness and James Collett and Complicity to Burglary and Theft (5 counts) against Jimmy Harding. Sheriff Wenninger stated that the charges will be presented to the next Brown County Grand Jury for indictment.
SSCC provides outreach for students juggling work, families Are you a college student trying to juggle the demands of work and family? You’re in good company. Approximately 84 percent of the total number of students enrolled in college classes nationwide are adult learners, with families and jobs. To meet the needs of this growing student population, colleges have reinvented the entire education process, including admissions and enrollment procedures. The Educational Opportunity Center (EOC) at Southern State Community College is a part of this outreach to adult learners. The EOC helps first-generation, low-income adults enter or re-enter college by offering a comprehensive counseling and referral program providing free academic, vocational, career and financial aid information to eligible adults. “The best way to land on your feet in a constantly changing job market is to keep upgrading your education and your skills,” said Ed Huck, EOC Coordinator at Southern State. “With a college degree, you will be more open to new job opportunities, and more able to transfer your knowledge from one career sector to another. With every college degree you earn, your potential earnings rise. With every year of college you complete, your career options increase, along with your
opportunities for promotion.” The EOC provides counseling and information on college admissions to qualified adults who want to enter or continue a program of postsecondary education. The program also provides services to improve the financial and economic literacy of participants. “An important objective of the EOC is to counsel participants on financial aid options, including basic financial planning skills, and to assist in the application process,” Ed explained. “The goal of the EOC is to increase the number of adult participants who enroll in postsecondary education institutions.” U.S. Census Bureau statistics show that employees with an associate degree earn 19 percent more than those with a high school diploma alone, employees with a bachelor's degree earn 62 percent more, and those with a master's degree earn almost double the pay. Additionally, the chances of being unemployed are much lower for workers with a college degree than for those with a high school diploma alone, probably due to the greater ability to transfer knowledge and skills at the college level. Even more dramatic is the difference between the poverty rates of the families of college graduates and the
families of high school graduates, particularly in families headed by single mothers. In 2005, families of workers with only a high school diploma were three times more likely to fall into poverty than families of workers holding a college degree. The cost of attending college is another concern for non-traditional students, who often work and have family and community responsibilities. “With rising college costs and all the expenditures associated with that, there is a great need for student aid,” said Huck. “The EOC exists to find ways to economically assist -- to get that student through school without wrecking the family budget.” Most aid comes from filing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). To qualify for federal aid, the student must be a seeking a qualifying certificate or enrolled in a degree program, and have a financial basis for that need. Studies show that fear of the process is one of the major factors that keep adults from pursuing higher education. Those seeking additional information on EOC services may contact Ed Huck at Southern State Community College by calling 1-800628-7722, ext. 3514, or emailing ehuck@sscc.edu.

DAVID DUGAN important in a year like 2012. The drought of 2012 has been one of the worst on record, leaving many livestock producers short on hay and silage supplies. The lack of substantial rainfall, extreme heat and dryness left many producers looking for any alternative forages they could plant to make up for the shortages. As a result, some chose to grow sudangrass, sudangrass hybrids, forage sorghums or sorghum-sudangrass crosses, which can produce excellent forage yields in a short time but are capable of becoming toxic to livestock after a frost event. Keep in mind that Johnsongrass is can be dangerous, too. These species convert quickly to prussic acid in
ODA offers tips for purchasing firewood As winter quickly approaches and more Ohioans look to firewood to help heat their homes, Director David Daniels of the Ohio Department of Agriculture is asking Ohioans to be aware of some basic tips to help when purchasing wood. Prior to purchasing, the following firewood rules and regulations are helpful to know: • Non-packaged firewood must be sold by the cord or by fractions of a cord. One cord, when properly stacked, should be 8 feet long by 4 feet high and 4 feet wide (128 cubic feet). • If sold in bulk, firewood must be purchased by the weight in ton measurements. This must be weighed on a certified scale. • It is illegal to sell firewood by any other unit of measurement such as a rick, rack, face cord or truckload. If a consumer believes that a seller did not comply with these rules and regulations, the person should immediately contact the seller. • If non-packaged firewood is purchased, the seller must present the consumer with a delivery
ticket or sales invoice that includes contact information and the terms and conditions of the sale. • If firewood is advertised and sold as “seasoned,” it must have a moisture content of less than 50 percent. “Unseasoned” wood will only produce two-thirds of the heat of “seasoned” wood. • If the firewood is advertised and sold as a certain type of wood, the load must contain at least 90 percent of that species. • Make sure you know where your firewood is originally from. Firewood from an ALB quarantined area cannot be moved outside of the area. If you live inside the ALB quarantined area and you need firewood, it must be purchased within the quarantined area from someone with a compliance agreement with the ODA. If a problem occurs with a firewood sale, and the seller will not correct the consumers problem, should contact the Ohio Department of Agriculture’s Division of Weights and Measures at 1-800282-1955 or contact a local weights and measures inspector located in each county auditor’s office.
freeze-damaged plant tissue. "Animals can die within minutes if they consume forages such as the sorghum species that contain high concentrations of prussic acid in the plant tissue soon after a frost," Sulc said. "Ruminants are more susceptible to prussic acid poisoning than horses or swine because cud chewing and rumen bacteria help release the cyanide from plant tissue." The signs of prussic acid poisoning appear rapidly after the animal eats forage high in prussic acid content, because it interferes with oxygen transfer in the blood stream of the animal, causing it to die of asphyxiation. Symptoms include staggering, labored breathing, spasms, foaming at the mouth and convulsions. Making hay and silage from these forages after a frost reduces the risk of poisoning, Sulc said, because prussic acid in the plant decreases during the wilting and hay-drying process. But hay or silage that are not properly cured and dried before bailing or ensiling should be tested for prussic acid before feeding them to livestock, he said. "Because prussic acid is a gas, the longer the gas has to dissipate out of the plant, the less it is dangerous for livestock," Sulc said. Other tips farmers can use to avoid prussic acid poisoning include: • Don't graze on nights when frost is likely. High levels of the toxic compounds are produced within hours after a frost. • Don't graze after a killing frost until plants are dry, which usually takes 5 to 7 days. • After a non-killing frost, do not allow animals to graze for two weeks because the plants usually contain high concentrations of toxic compounds. • New growth may appear at the base of the plant after a non-killing frost. If this occurs, wait for a hard, killing freeze, then wait another 10 to 14 days before grazing the new growth. • Don't allow hungry or stressed animals to graze young growth of species with prussic acid potential. • Graze or green chop sudangrass only after it is 18 inches tall. Sorghumsudangrass should be 30 inches tall before grazing. Never graze immature growth. • Don't graze wilted
plants or plants with young tillers. • Green chopping the frost-damaged plants will lower the risk compared with grazing directly, because animals will be less likely to selectively graze damaged tissue. However, the forage can still be toxic, so feed green chop with great caution after a frost. • Feed green-chopped forage within a few hours, and don't leave it in wagons or feed bunks overnight. There are lots of forages that may also be more prone to causing bloat after a frost. Clovers and alfalfa both would be on that list. Even several days after a killing frost it is recommended that livestock not be turned onto lush pasture when the forages are wet or when livestock is hungry. Exposing livestock to dry hay and maybe even some supplemental grain prior to turning livestock out may reduce the risk. There are also bloat blocks that can be used, but they need to be used prior to turning livestock out onto risky pasture.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 the perpetrator trying to turn them against family or friends? If the answer to any of those questions is yes, it may be a situation of domestic violence or one where it could develop quickly.” Lawson said the next step is to intervene...but in the proper way. “If you suspect that someone is a survivor (of domestic violence) feel free to call us and we can help you figure out how to intervene in a safe way. The key is to be nonjudgemental, let the victim know that you are there and ready to help. Open the door to a victim and let them come through it when they’re ready.” The YWCA offers a range of services related to domestic violence prevention, including education and information services, court advocacy, support groups and professional training. The group also operates a safehouse in the area that can provide temporary shelter to victims in need.

stroyed by then. UV Light Disinfection. This study showed only a minor reduction in bacteria with UV light. The light must reach organisms to kill them, and tightly packed bristles have no chance of disinfection. Household Dishwasher. Putting the toothbrush in the utensil rack of the dishwasher 1. reduced bacteria significantly 2. removed visible debris 3. did not cause visible damage to the brush. This was done on the regular cycle including the dry portion of the cycle. This process, though it does not remove all the organisms, reduces the organisms from up to 4 million to less than 50. CRA concluded that the best way to control toothbrush contamination is to discard the brush after an illness. But “if the brush is a favorite that cannot be replaced, processing through a conventional dishwasher’s full cycle is the next best option.” Foundation (CRA Newsletter, Jan 2007).

Has your family had the virus that has been going around? More than likely you have had one or two since school started. You have probably heard that you should throw away your toothbrush after being sick, as germs can continue to thrive in that moist environment. But when does one virus end and another begin? And won’t you be going through a lot of toothbrushes this year if you do that? What about that favorite princess toothbrush your little girl just loves? CRA, an organization that tests dental materials, did a study on the germs in the common toothbrush and how to kill them. Here is what they found: Air Drying. The term drying is relative. Few brushes dry fully, especially in a day or two. This is not a very effective method of killing germs unless the brush is left out to totally dry, for say a week. This can decrease some bacteria, but there are bacteria that live on dry surfaces as well. Heating in the Microwave. Not a good idea! Studies show very little reduction in bacteria, and most toothbrushes are not microwave safe. It takes 10 minutes to kill a significant number of bacteria, and most brushes are melted and de-

Use Caution with Pasture and Frost Parts of the three counties that I cover for OSU Extension have seen some frost as I type this on October 8. Traditionally the average first killing frost occurs sometime around the second week of October, so we are right on target. While some of the tobacco has not yet been harvested, some late vegetables may still be producing, the pastures may be more of concern for the entire area. There are dangers that exist with livestock grazing certain forages when they are frosted on. Some forage species are an annual concern for livestock producers because of the potential for prussic acid poisoning. However, the potential for toxicity in livestock is of wider concern this year because of drought. A recent article from OSU Extension Forage Specialist Mark Sulc addressed some of the concerns, but it is especially
