Hospital sold, records for many still held BY Wayne Gates

The former Southwest Regional Medical Center will be back in business as a hospital soon. Common Pleas Judge Scott Gusweiler approved the sale of the property to

Oglethorpe, Inc. for $1.2 million on October 4. The company plans to reopen the hospital in six to nine months as a behavioral health facility with 60-100 beds. Oglethorpe Ohio Operations Director Patrick Tracy

said that up to 250 people could be employed at the hospital with a payroll approaching $12 million once it reaches full capacity. The deal is set to be final in about 30 days, with all outstanding real estate taxes for the property to be paid from

nity for anyone who meets the criteria and was interested in being selected as chief deputy,” Ellis said.

Vernon Creighton of Sardinia died October 10 in an accident at his home. Brown County Coroner Dr. Judith Varnau said in an e-mail to The Brown County Press that Creighton died as the result of trauma involving farm equipment. Investigators say that Creighton was using a post hole digger when his clothing got caught in the machinery. The accident happened at the Indian Spring Winery on Fite Hauck Road where Creighton was the owner and operator. Creighton was also the

President of the Southern Hills Career and Technical Center School Board and a lifelong educator. Southern Hills Superintendent Kevin Kratzer said that Creighton was with him from day one. “Vern joined the board when I started working for the district in January of 2011,” Kratzer said. “He’s been a consummate leader on our school board. His voice has always been one at the table that was respected by everyone.” Kratzer said one reason for that respect was the fact that Creighton had fifty years of experience in eduCONTINUED ON PAGE 10

Sardinia Council hopes street levy passes in November

BY Martha B. Jacob

Sardinia Village Council met in regular session Oct. 10 and covered a wide array of issues. First on the agenda was to approve the minutes from a special Town Hall Meeting held Sept. 19 for the purpose of discussing the need for the details of the Street Levy that will be on the November 8 ballot.

From the minutes of the town hall meeting...The levy is for a 4.8 mil perpetual levy to raise funds for street repair and maintenance. The levy would generate approximately $43,000 per year. “Prior to 1980,” said Sardinia Mayor Greg Cassidy at the Sept. 19 meeting, “this village had a fire, police, street, cemetery, street light and general fund

Together these levies totaled about 15 mils. “We are in an emergency mode here, doing all we can afford to deter the deterioration of the streets by using crack filler and patching pot holes as we can.” In other business at the meeting, fire chief Tommy Kirker told council that his department’s three main vehicles needed repairs.

Four townships will have levies on ballot

â&#x20AC;˘ Franklin Township The unincorporated areas of Franklin Township, Precinct #60 (split 1,2 and 3) will have a RENEWAL Fire protection 1.1 mills, 5-year levy on its Nov. 8 ballot. Franklin Township has no major municipalities in it but does include part of Lake Waynoka. It has approximately 1,654 people and is located in the center of Brown County. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is just a renewal of what we already have in Franklin Township, said trustee Frank Fussnecker, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our township uses fire departments from Russellville, Sardinia and Georgetown. This levy has been in effect for about 10 years, and wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t change what residents are currently paying. It will continue the good service we are receiving now.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;˘ Scott Township Scott Townshipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (unincorporated area) voters in Precinct #290 (split 1,2 and 3) will find on their ballot a Fire Protection and Emergency Medical Services RENEWAL, 1.2 mills levy for a continuing period of time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Scott Township contracts with Mt. Orab, Georgetown and Clark Township for it fire protection,â&#x20AC;? said Scott Township Fiscal Officer Joni Wallace, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to have this coverage so the levy is for a continuing period of time, which simply means it will continue until a

change is needed. Right now it fits our needs and it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t change what our residents are currently paying.â&#x20AC;?

Time to make some Apple Crisp SHERRY MITCHELL TAKE JOY, A FARMHOUSE JOURNAL

Election Day is fast approaching for us

The crisp, cool mornings and the warm afternoons are my favorites. Back when I had a fireplace, in the evening, I would build a fire to take the chill off the house. Cutting and splitting firewood is hard work (we never had a log splitter only my husband with his maul) and great exercise. I liked having firewood all stacked up for winter’s use. Like the squirrels gathering and putting away in preparation for winter, which will inevitably come, doing firewood felt much the same. On my kitchen counter, I have a peck of apples that I have been contemplating what to make. They are lovely in the basket on the table. I thought I would make applesauce for winter. Or, I could make some apple butter for our biscuits. I love homemade biscuits with butter lathered on top with apple butter. I prefer the recipe with a hint of cloves in it. Besides eating the apples raw after rubbing them round and round on my jeans

to “wash them” of course, I decided finally to make a pie. My first project was an apple Betty crumb pie found on Pinterest. It was good. I took some to sister Debbie on my visit. She liked it but disappointed, I could tell, because it didn’t have “oatmeal” in it, which struck up the conversation about the school’s apple crisp which we both agreed we loved. Back home, in my kitchen, I decided to try and duplicate the “school’s apple crisp" we had reminisced about. One of my favorite school lunches back in the day was chili, peanut butter (with honey on it) chocolate milk and apple crisp. Simply fabulous! I remember the school’s apple crisp being gooey—just the way I like it. (I’ve made a crisp recipe a few times over the years but somehow mine never quite measured up.) Do they even

serve apple crisp at schools anymore? I started with the same recipe for the apple crumb pie, but improvised it a bit by adding a few key ingredients. Oatmeal and water. Yes. The recipe I was working from didn’t call for water. But I thought about it and I knew the additional water would make it bubbly. Gooey. Now, I encourage you, if you are like me and love that lunchroom cafeteria meal, to put on a pot of chili and lather a slice of bread with peanut butter and let it transport you right back to the days of your youth. This recipe is even better the next day, if it lasts that long. Take Joy! Sherry’s Farmhouse Apple Crisp Crumble Topping: 1 Cup flour; 1 Cup old-fashioned

Bake at 450 for 15 minutes then reduce heat to 350 degrees for 35 minutes. Eat it hot out of the oven with a drizzle of milk, or cream over it! Scrumptious.

They’re serious events, and are certainly more substantive than campaign speeches and television commercials. Yet I think our focus on debates — at least in the form they currently take — is misplaced. It’s not so much that they reward one-upmanship, a quick wit, and clever zingers — although they do. Rather, I think they don’t actually help us make a good choice. Over my years in Congress and afterward, I’ve sat in on a lot of meetings at the White House where foreign and domestic policy were discussed. For the most part, I came away impressed by the

process by which presidents make tough decisions. They go around the room, asking each guest, “What do I do now?” They ask participants to define the issue, lay out the options, identify American interests at stake, and make recommendations. It’s usually a sustained, unhurried process, with very little fancy oratory: instead, I’ve heard sharp debate and thorough discussion characterized by forceful, reasoned, fact-based, and responsible arguments. Presidents pay close attention and sometimes take notes. They want to hear different opinions, seek advice, and then go off and

oatmeal; ½ Cup brown sugar; ½ Cup white sugar; 1 tsp. cinnamon. ½ cup softened real butter. Crumble together with hands. Set aside.

Apples: Peel and core 4 large apples into small pieces. Toss with ½ teaspoon lemon juice so they don’t brown. Add 1/3 cup sugar (more if your apples are tart.) 3 Tbsp. flour; 1 tsp. cinnamon. (My secret additive— Add ½ cup water. This makes it gooey.) Toss together and place in an 8X8 pan. Cover with crumble topping. Prep time is about 15 minutes.

Write in Everhard for congressional seat Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor, Woe to those of us who live in Ohio’s Second Congressional District, for the November ballot gives us a very bleak choice. The incumbent, Brad Wenstrup, is a 4 year member of the least productive Congress in history. The Democratic challenger, William Smith, is a shadow candidate with no experience who simply runs because he can. One will support his Party’s presidential nominee regardless of the damage done to our country; the other does not hold the values of the Party he pretends to represent. Neither will work for you. You need to know that there is a better option. Dr. Janet Everhard has entered this race as a write-in candidate. This community knows

Dr. Everhard. Throughout her 20 year medical practice she has cared for our mothers, wives and daughters as a physician and surgeon. She cares for our wounded veterans through her work with Team River Runner, which uses paddlesports as recreational therapy. She is the founder of USA Works Community which is working to help us make consumer choices that better benefit our economy and our environment. This year, more than any other, it is important to know who you are sending to Washington. The 2nd District deserves a representative who will rise above political gridlock with an honest desire to serve. On your ballot mark the oval/square and write in Everhard. Karen Marotta

make a decision. What all this means is that the real quality you’re looking for in a President is judgment: the ability to consider issues from all angles, weigh options carefully, and then choose the wisest course — sometimes from among a tangle of unpalatable alternatives. That is what presidents do. But the qualities necessary to do this do not come through in the debates, which tell us very little about how candidates would do at exercising judgment in the fog of policymaking. A campaign event that calls for impassioned oratory, a quick wit, one-liners,

and sharp digs is not especially helpful for helping us choose who is going to make the best decisions. I think we can do better. Selecting a president is serious business. We want to put control of the process on the voters’ side, and not let the candidates get away with fluff. How do we do this? We change the nature of the debates. To begin with, I believe there should be a series of them, each focused on a single issue — education, say, or national security. Candidates should face a panel of questioners asking them to address

the toughest questions on those matters — people who are sharp and incisive and are prepared to follow up and press candidates when they spout mush. The point is, we want voters to go to the polls not just with a good idea of where the candidates want to take us and how they’re going to get there. We also want voters to have a clear sense of how sound the candidates’ judgment is, because that’s ultimately what will make or break their presidency.

Are presidential debates a waste of our time?

We’re in the middle of the presidential debates, and not surprisingly, they’re drawing viewers in great numbers. This is hardly a bad thing. Overall, presidential debates are a plus for the public dialogue. They get tremendous coverage throughout the media universe, both while they’re taking place and in the days that follow. They let the voters see the candidates under pressure and gauge their performance. As scripted as they can sometimes seem, they still let us watch the candidates think on their feet.

FAITH’S SUBSTANCE In Hebrews 11 the Bible says, “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Therefore, according to Hebrews, faith is a substance and it is evidence of things not seen. Even though we can't see, feel, or taste it with our physical senses, we very much know that faith is real. We know that air or wind exists. We can feel a breeze blowing but we can't see, taste, or touch it. Besides, without air, we would not be breathing, right? When we have a storm, the evidence of wind and air is very plain. You can clearly see the effects of it. The same is true with faith. It becomes very plain when a believer is going through a storm in his life. You can clearly see the evidence of his faith. I believe that with our spiritual senses we can feel faith. If you have something that you are hoping and praying for, your faith is a very real substance! Sometimes we even get to see the evidence of our faith. One of our ladies came to me and ask me to pray with her because she had skin cancer. We prayed about it and when she went back to the doctor it was completely gone. There was substance to her faith. She believed God could take it away. God answered her prayer. Faith is evidence of things not seen. Now, here in the 11 chapter of Hebrews, which we call the “Hall of Faith,” there are some great men and women that because of their faith, (the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen) they moved and acted based on what God told them was going to happen. Why? Because they simply believed it. In this chapter we find Abraham and Sarah. We find Jacob, Joseph, Moses and Noah. We find Rahab and even Jephthae. There are others mentioned here and all of these men and women are great examples of faith. But what about a no-named lady who is just a sinner? Could she have that kind of faith? Could she hope for a change in her life? Could she hope for forgiveness, peace, joy, and happiness? Could she hope for those things by faith and

REV. TED R. HOUSE

BIBLE BAPTIST CHURCH MT. ORAB www.bbcmtorab.com step out and see God do that for her? Maybe you are in that condition today. Maybe you think that nobody cares enough about you to want to help you change. Well, there is, but could you have that life changing kind of faith? Let's go back to the book of Luke and find out about this nonamed sinner lady. It is a very moving story and one of great faith. Luke 7:36-38, “And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him.” (the Him, being Jesus) “And he went into the Pharisee's house, and sat down to meat. And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster box of ointment, And stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.” This tells me that this woman had been following Jesus' ministry and was hoping for an opportunity to see Him and get His attention. She was hoping that He could do something for her. Therefore, you can already see that she had enough faith to step out and act on that faith. You can see the substance of her faith! You can read the story for yourself to get all the details, but it ends with Jesus telling her in verse 48, “...Thy sins are forgiven.” In verse 50 He says, “...Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.” We do not know anymore about this lady other than she was a sinner and she had faith. Because of that faith in Jesus, her sins were forgiven and she could go away with peace of heart and mind.

Now is the time to think about bringing some “bling” to your garden.

Making your garden more appealing

BY Faye Mahaffey

As summer ends and fall colors decorate your landscape, it is time to take a walk with your camera, garden journal and pencil. Are there places in your gardens that need a little “bling”? Does your garden make you happy? Does it make you smile? Why do gardeners add bling to their gardens? What works and what might not work as well? Mark your calendar for the October 20th garden seminar being sponsored by the OSUE Brown County Master Gardener Volunteers held at the Mt. Orab campus of Southern State Community College. I will be taking a look at some interpretations of creating a focal point in the garden. Trying to find a healthy combination of spontaneity and planning as well as adding some whimsy along the way might just make you smile when you walk in the garden! All seminars are free and open to the public and are held in Room 107 from 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. One of my favorite garden authors and bloggers, Margaret Roach, actually made me laugh out loud this month as I read her latest entry in her blog “A way to garden”. She writes, “Even I ----She of the monthly chores lists --get overwhelmed at the thought of it: fall cleanup. As the month begins, I wait in a sort of suspended animation --- for frost, and for leaf drop, the two accelerators that manufacture literal heaps of to-do’s faster than I can keep up!” Roach then lists a 7point program to help us all focus that includes: • Leave especially ornamental or wildlife-friendly plants standing. Don’t act as if you’re vacuuming the living room; clean up beds tactically for maximum enjoyment by you and the birds. • Remove sickly things first. Destroy the debris to minimize next year’s issues with squash bugs, cabbage worms, and other pests and diseases. • Stabilize woody plants. Identify any vulnerable limbs, removing broken or dead branches now to make sure winter weather doesn’t worsen things. • Gather leaves, and even start a leaves-only compost pile. • Late-season lawn care: Do your heavy raking now – not in spring-and overseed if there’s still time where you live. • Protect or store weather-vulnerable pots and the tender plants in them. • Weed! Besides cleaning up around diseased plants, this is a giant “must.” Even if you can’t wee, exactly, deadhead

your weeds now and discard the seed. Fewer seeds now, fewer weeds next year! As you take that walk around your gardens this week, take a moment to note where spring bulbs are planted. Now is the time to think about planting more bulbs! Don’t be like me next spring and regret the fact that you didn’t plant more bulbs!

Some having corn harvesting problems Last week I received a call from a producer with concerns about being able to harvest some of his corn. The issue seemed to be that the stalks were hollow and simply breaking off at an alarming rate. In fact in some areas in the field the stalks were so weak that they would just snap off and the harvest equipment was not able to take the corn in. It was just piling up in front of the head. I pulled samples and have yet to get a definite on the problem. We know there was some Southern Rust in corn in the area in the past few weeks. This issue is most likely a stalk rot that is causing the low strength in the stalks. OSU Extension Corn Specialist Peter Thomison has provided some insight on the situation in this week’s CORN Newsletter. The entire newsletter can be found at http://corn.osu.edu While never a recommended practice, this is definitely not the year to “store” corn in the field and delay harvest. Reports of lodging and downed corn are increasing across the state. Stalk rots are largely responsible for the problem which have been promoted by stressful production environments and susceptible hybrids. Affected corn stalks are characterized by internal plant tissue that has disintegrated and often appears “hollowed out”. These symptoms are also often present in the crown of the plant. Severe lodging slows the harvest operation causing delays that expose the crop to less favorable weather conditions, as well as wildlife damage. Another loss may occur if ear rots develop when ears on lodged plants come in contact with wet soils and surface residues. Even certain hybrids that normally exhibit good standability and stalk quality are exhibiting significant lodging. According to some grower accounts, corn that had been standing well, collapsed in the course of a few days. In these extreme situations, growers may face major challenges harvesting lodged corn which is nearly flat on the ground. “Scout fields to determine where problem areas are and the condition of stalks and ears. Harvest the problem areas first when field conditions are better and before kernels in close proximity to the ground have an opportunity for potential further deterioration. An exception might be made to harvest an area with particularly weak stalk strength that is still standing if the odds of lodging from weather seem high. The only way to evaluate whether any harvesting aid or technique is helping is to measure harvest losses. Each ¾pound ear on the ground per 436 square feet equals a loss of one bushel per acre. Detailed instructions for measuring losses are in Profitable Corn Harvesting (https://store.extension.iastate.edu/Product/Profitable-Corn-Harvesting). Take

Gardening Sessions Start Soon The 2016-17 gardening sessions at Southern State Community College in Mt. Orab are free and open to the public. The programs will be held once a month, on the third Thursday of each month at 7:00 p.m. Here is the planned schedule for the next several months. Oct. 20 – Faye Mahaffey – Decorating Your Garden Nov. 17 – Jamie Louden – Growing Chrysanthemums Jan. 19 – Danielle Thompson – Rain Gardens Feb. 16 – Chris Dresel – Gardening for Pollinators March 16 – Dale Dyer – Heritage Gardens April 20 – Ron Powell – Pawpaws May 18 – Christine Tailer – Nutritious and Delicious Weeds (different location TBA) Hopefully you find several topics of interest in the schedule. The Brown County Master Gardeners provide this program at Southern State Community College. The Master Gardener’s make out the schedule and in some sessions will be the presenters. If you would like to become a master gardener please contact your local OSU Extension Office and ask to be added to the list. Training is offered every few years or whenever the demand for the training is high enough to provide the class. To find out more about the Master Gardener program in Ohio go to http://mastergardener.osu.edu or contact your local OSU Extension Office and request a call from a Master Gardener volunteer. Issues with Deer Losses in Southern Ohio I received a call from someone who raises deer on the morning just before deadlines for this article for many of the papers. He had read my article from last week concerning the losses of cattle to anaplasmosis and said that there was nothing out there informing people about the issues in the deer herds. This is what I have found to this point. The disease is Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease (EHD) and it often shows up during drought like conditions. I have also been told by the Ohio Department of Agriculture that there are vaccines available. I will find out more and will hopefully have more information in next week.

The students got the opportunity to ask about things they were curious about. This visit came was a concluding activity to the 1st grade literacy theme entitled, “Schools Then

and Now.”

We would like to thank

Mr. Wilson and Mr. Bick for taking their time to come in and share with the students.

Sardinia Annexation

Attention everyone in the proposed annexation.

Beware! Ask your township trustees to say No to the annexation Ask the Prosecutor to look into filing charges on the village council, ex-mayor and current mayor. I believe extortion was used to force people into signing to be annexed. Make it known to the commissioners that you did not ask for this, that Sardinia raised the water surcharge to 120%. For each $10 of water, you pay $12 additional, so $10 is now $22; $20 is now $44; $30 is now $66; $40 is now $88, charging you so much to hurt you financially to force you into agreeing to be annexed. The papers sent out in the beginning and what was told to you by the town that if you would sign to come into town, you would immediately get town water rate-no surcharge. That can’t be legal to charge one person 120% extra, the next property or person right beside you. No surcharge you both live outside of town. But both are being billed by Sardinia for water. If not in town, all should be charged the same. This has to be illegal to offer and give lower charges to one that signs for annexation, but not to the ones who would not sign. Did you know that Sardinia has the highest water and sewer rates of any town inBrown County? Make it known that you were told you would be charged for a survey of your property if you did not sign to be annexed, more Money extortion. This can’t be legal; call the Prosecutor’s office for an investigation. If that doesn’t work, call the Attorney General of Ohio. I did not sign so if the proposed annexation goes through, I have to pay the town to have my property surveyed, but you who signed to go into town don’t. This is more financial pressure-this is like organized crime tactics for me. No way is this democracy. I think they should change the name of Sardinia to North Korea. Also, there were some who never got a letter to sign saying yes or No to annexation. I was one of them. I went to a council meeting and I was told my be mayor then that he did not need to hear from me he knew what my answer would be. So a No did not count. They only wanted yes. Now I get a paper on the annexation hearing, there is also another property inside of mine it is not listed, so still another property owner left out. Also, there are people who are Not on Sardinia, have never been on Sardinia water. Getting letters just now they are being annexed; this can’t be right. They were never in the original group of people on Sardinia water on Purdy Road to be annexed, but are Now. What’s going on here? The town just trying to take even more property. Sardinia Water. How is that? The water comes directly from Brown County Rural Water. Also, each road to be annexed should be a separate annexation. The people on Tri County Highway should not have a say in the people on Purdy Road being annexed and vice versa. Each should decide on their own area. The town is just trying to use a different tactic. They tried to annex Tri County Road before and were stopped. Now they are back at it again. Beware! There is a lot the village failed to tell you. You were not given all the information you needed to make an informed decision. Know that if you let your property be annexed, the town will have to run sewer to you. They will take out a loan. You will pay extra money to pay off the loan-usually for 20 years. You will also pay a sewer fee for each month, with extra added to it to pay off the loan. The town will also charge you for garbage. You will no longer be able to pay Rumpke. You will pay the town and they will make money off you on garbage. You will be required to dig up your septic tank. Pay to have it pumped out, pay to have two sides of it caved in then filled with gravel. You will pay to have your sewer pipe ran to the road to hook into town sewer. This will be required. The town will maybe be kind and allow you to tap in or hook into the new sewer pipe at the street for no charge. This is just where your pipe hooks into-the street pipe. You will of course be given a time frame to have this done, or pay a large tap in fee. This will start when they put the sewer pipes in at the street; you can’t pay the extra. No problem-they can put it on your tax bill, then sell your property for back taxes. The town has nothing to offer me-more bills and less money in my pocket each month. No thanks. Just say No to annexation. Don’t forget the town also recently took Georgetown zoning and passed it as an emergency ordinance. What is it? You should all ask the town for a copy. Read it. You deserve the right to be fully informed of what all you are getting into. Before you allow yourself to be annexed. Let’s not forget the town is voting on a street levy. You don’t get to vote you are not in town yet. But you may get the pay more taxes if it passes and you annex into town. Contact Washington Township trustees. Tell them to stop the annexation. Call the Prosecutor. Ask for an investigation into any illegal activities or laws that may have been broken. Go to the annexation meeting; tell the Commissioners. No. You do Not want to be annexed into Sardinia. The hearing is October 19th at 6:00 p.m., Brown County Engineer’s Office, 2nd floor. This is located at 25 Veterans Boulevard, Georgetown. It’s the big building at the corner of route 68 and Camp Run Road. Can’t come to the meeting, contact me. I will have you write out a statement and take it for you to the meeting. These are the thoughts and views of property owner in proposed annexation.

said the transmission was going out in one, the tower truck needs radiator repairs and another one is having clutch issues. He said he was getting estimates on each of them for council to review. “I have also promoted Kurt Henderson to a lieutenant and Craig Clark to a captain,” Chief Kirker said. “I did want also to let council know that we are starting to have quite an issue with open burning in the village. This is a problem that is controlled by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency, so there are things they can do. Their laws are set in stone.” Police Chief Jim Lewis reported to council that 84 tickets with 87 violations for the Sept. 15 court date, and that one of the car cameras has been installed already and a second one will be complete by Oct. 12. A Sardinia resident from the audience asked council to look into a situation with two vacant mobile homes with

broken windows and overgrown weeds that needed to be addressed by council. She also reported that two dogs in her neighborhood bark all night and asked what can be done about it. Mayor Cassidy asked council for permission to bid up to $600 for the purchase of an abandoned service station that still has the underground tanks that need removed. Cassidy said a Brown County Auditor sale of the property will take place on Oct. 26 at 1 p.m. at the auditors office and he must bid at least $10 on the property. He added that at least $9,000 in back taxes is still owed, but a plan is in place to take care of the back taxes. After suspending the rules, council agreed to allow the mayor to bid on the property, which will then be torn down and cleaned up. Cassidy talked briefly about an upcoming event called the Hunted Glow Run for children in the village

someone know that their records are ready,” Myers said. She said that when the records are found and printed, she will call the former patient to pick them up. Myers said that not every patient who has been treated at the facility will have a record. For example, emer-

gency room visits ten years or older are not in her system. Those individuals who would have records are someone who has had surgery or spent time at the hospital as an inpatient. Any patient that has been treated at any of the clinics or has had an x-ray would also have records at the hos-

pital. Records are also available from patients who have been treated at Southwest Regional Sleep Lab, Mt. Orab Urgent Care, Mt. Orab Regional Medicine, Bethel Regional Family Medicine, Fayetteville Family Medicine and Peak Performance.

that we can all agree on and then develop a mutual aid process that allows the dispatch center to send the closest available officer,” Ellis said. He added that he is also going to investigate grant opportunities for the county and take a look at all outstanding cases “I also want to work very closely with the drug task force to try to attack the drug problem in the county,” Ellis said. He said fighting the drug issue is not just a law enforcement issue. “I’m also looking at some education angles as to how can we educate the public to try to reduce the number of young people who are getting involved with drugs,” Ellis said.

He also feels that his prior military and law enforcement experience will serve him well as the Brown County Sheriff. “The experiences that I have had have required me to work with multiple agencies to solve critical problems. I’m used to doing what are called joint operations in the military. Those type of operations can also take place in a county when you are trying to solve a single problem. That type of experience and thinking will help me be an efficient sheriff.” Ellis plans to select a chief deputy by the end of November. The full list of qualifications and application procedure can be found at https://www.facebook.com/E llisforSheriff/.

“I think he would want to be remembered as a dedicated educator that always put kids first.” Creighton’s memorial service and funeral were held at Southern Hills on Saturday, October 15. “I think it’s very fitting that

I’m confident that we are going to end up with a strong candidate.” Ellis added that he was already thinking about some goals to achieve once he takes office in January. “One of the first things I want to look at is the mutual aid agreement. I want a mutual aid agreement that provides the closest officer available, not necessarily the closest deputy available when there is a critical call. I want to sit down early with the chiefs (in the county) to develop a list of critical calls

cation. “At age 69 when he passed away, I don’t think there was a time in his life when he wasn’t a teacher, administrator or school board member. That type of experience at a board table is invaluable and his leadership will be greatly missed.” Kratzer said that Creighton was very proud of his commitment to public education. “Professionally speaking, he gave his entire life to public education. I don’t know how you can quantify the level of loss that his absence will bring to our school and our community,” Kratzer said.

Broncos are SBAAC American Division champs

CMyK

Serving Brown County, Ohio since 1973

BY Wade Linville The Brown County Press

For the first time in Western Brown High School sports history, a Western Brown boys soccer team has staked claim to the Southern Buckeye Athletic/Academic Conference American Division title. This year's Broncos would capture the school's first ever league crown under the leadership of firstyear head coach Bobby Kuntz and a varsity squad that has brought to the field a mix of experience and young talent. Kuntz was quick to recognize the potential of this year's varsity team before the season began, and his confidence in his players would certainly play a huge role in the Broncos' success on the field this season. “With all the work the boys had put in during the offseason and preseason, we knew we had the makings of something special,” said Kuntz. “What it was going to come down to, which is something we communicated to the boys, was are we going to be able to play our style of soccer regardless of the opponent and were we going to seize our moments when they presented themselves.” Along their path to a league title, this year's Broncos finished their regular season schedule without a single league loss at 7-0-3. It was a 1-0 victory over the Amelia Barons on Oct. 6 that would clinch the Broncos their league title

while lifting them to an overall record of 11-0-4 on the season with only one non-league contest remaining in the regular season. It was junior Colston Roades scoring the only goal in the Broncos' win over Amelia, while sophomore Chase Easterling delivered the assist. A significant factor in the Broncos' success has been an impressive defense which has led to a recordsetting season for sophomore goalkeeper Sam Linkous. Of the Broncos' 15 games this season, Linkous has recorded 11 shutouts as the single-season record holder

The Fayetteville-Perry Lady Rockets have been on a roll over the past couple of weeks, winning three straight league matches before facing the Fairfield Lady Lions in the final Southern Hills Athletic Conference match of the season on Oct. 13. It was an Oct. 4 win over Fairfield that marked the beginning of the Lady Rockets' recent win streak, a match that lasted only three sets (25-19 25-15, 2520), so chances were very good that the Lady Rockets would wrap-up their regular

25, 25-17, 25-19). The Lady Rockets stood at an overall record of 10-9 and an SHAC record of 7-5 going into the final match of the regular season. The Lady Rockets received the No. 3 seed for the Southwest District Division IV Sectional Tournament at Mariemont and drew a bye for round one of the sectional. The Lady Rockets begin sectional play on Oct. 18, taking on the winner of the round one match between No. 7 seed James Gamble Montessori (8-6) and No. 9 seed Cincinnati Country Day (213).

In what has been a tight battle for this year's Southern Buckeye Athletic/Academic Conference American Division volleyball championship, the Western Brown Lady Broncos have found themselves in a tie for first place in league standings after defeating the New Richmond Lady Lions in a match that lasted three sets at New Richmond High School, Oct. 11. The Lady Broncos suffered a 3-2 loss while hosting the Lady Lions the first time they faced in league play on Sept. 8, but the Oct. 11 win for the Western Brown varsity volleyball squad put both teams at 8-1 in SBAAC American Division play with only one league match remaining.

The Lady Broncos suffered a 25-15 loss in set one of the Oct. 11 match against the Lady Lions, but returned to claim a narrow 2624 victory in set two to tie the match at 1-1. The Lady Broncos dominated set three for a 25-9 win to take a 2-1 lead in the match, but it was New Richmond winning set four 25-20 to knot the match at 2-2. In the fifth and deciding set, the Lady Broncos were able to pull off a 15-11 win. The Lady Broncos rose to an overall record of 15-6 with the win at New Richmond, upping their winning streak to six games. The Lady Broncos were scheduled to face the Amelia Lady Barons on Thursday, Oct. 13 in their final match of the season. The first time the Lady

Broncos faced the Lady Barons in league play on Sept. 13, it was Western Brown winning the match in just three sets (25-18, 2522, 25-13). The New Richmond Lady Lions were scheduled to take on the Goshen Lady Warriors in their final league match of the season on Oct. 13, and the first time those two teams faced in league play it was New Richmond winning the match 3-0 (26-24, 25-16, 25-23).

Leading Western Brown receivers was junior Wyatt Fischer, who pulled down 11 receptions for 181 yards and two touchdowns. Bronco junior Zach Stacy hauled in seven catches for 130 receiving yards and three touchdown receptions, while junior teammate Carson Eyre was on the receiving end of five catches for 84 yards. Stacy led Bronco ball-carriers with 52 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown off nine carries. Fayetteville-Perry The Rockets once again finish their regular season as Ohio Valley Athletic League football champions after rising to a 3-0 league record with a 610 win over Manchester on Oct. 7. The Rockets were at home for the week seven league bout against the Hounds, and the Fayetteville offense racked up a total of 452 yards

with 408 rushing yards in the win. It was senior running back Chase Jester leading Rocket ball-carriers in the win, taking 10 carries for 190 rushing yards with three touchdowns, his longest carry of the night being 55 yards. In seven games, Jester leads Southwest Ohio with a total of 1,286 rushing yards.

great deal of talented players on this year's Ripley varsity boys soccer team that includes four seniors – Jordan Griffith, Laymon Marshall, Dalton Moran, and Scottie Ott. “It's been a new experience, but it's been a lot of fun,” said Poe. “The guys have come to work hard every day, which is all I can ask of them. I love the game and I'm glad I can help turn this program around and hopefully keep it going for awhile.” It was freshman forward Montrez McGill scoring the Jays first goal of the day in the Oct. 12 win over Peebles with 17:14 to go in the first half. The Indians tied the game at one apiece with 6:13 remaining in the first half, as junior Tanner Schmitz scored off a penalty shot. The Jays rose to a 1-1 lead as Marshall sailed a penalty kick over the Peebles defensive wall and into the net with 4:55 to go in the first half. Just over a minute later, it was Ripley sophomore Tristan Finn bouncing a shot off

the crossbar, but Griffith scored on the follow up to give the Jays a 3-1 lead that would last through halftime. Some excellent saves from Ripley goalkeeper Jaki Royal helped to keep the Indians scoreless in the second half, as well as some aggressive defense by Marshall, Ott and others. After nearly 39 minutes of scoreless soccer in the second half, it was Marshall finishing off an attack by scoring an impressive goal from long range over the head of the Peebles goalie to cap-off the 4-1 Ripley victory. The Jays rose to an overall record of 8-1-4 and a Southern Hills Athletic Conference record of 4-0-2 with Wednesday's win over Peebles. The Jays received the No. 13 seed for the Southwest District Division III Sectional Tournament and will begin tournament play against the No. 9 seed Bethel-Tate Tigers (14-2) on Oct. 17.

goal. The early attacks would later pay off for the Lady Warriors, and it was an assist by Staggs for a header goal by sophomore Morgan Reynolds that put Eastern on top 1-0 with 34:25 to go in the first half. A save by Eastern's junior goalkeeper Katie Hoover early in the first half prevented the Lady Jays from tying the game, while on the other end it was Ripley's sophomore goalie Cailey Kirk grabbing some nice saves to prevent the Lady Warriors from expanding on their lead. A diving save by Kirk stopped Reynolds from scoring her second goal of the game with the clock closing in on the 18-minute mark in the first half. Carrizalez would take the final shot of the first half, a shot that was saved by Hoover. At the end of the first half, it was Eastern leading 1-0. With 31:01 to go in the second half, it was a goal by Carrizalez that tied the game at one apiece. Defense prevailed on both ends of the field for the remainder of the second half, as both teams failed to score another goal. Whitt, Gilkerson, junior Kursten Prater, and Fisher worked to clear Eastern at-

tacks throughout the second half, while Kirk and Hoover displayed their talents as goalkeepers while coming through with excellent saves. The No. 12 seed Lady Jays, 5-6-1 at the time of the tournament draw, are scheduled to face No. 13 seed

The Western Brown Broncos and the FayettevillePerry Rockets both came out victorious in week seven on the gridiron, Oct. 7.

After struggling for victories in previous weeks, the Broncos had little trouble capturing a 54-27 win over the Barons to up their Southern Buckeye Athletic/Academic Conference American Division record to 1-1 on the season. The Broncos' Homecoming win came in the wake of five straight losses for the Western Brown varsity football squad, as the team has made its way through a very challenging regular season schedule. “The whole team had a really good week of preparation,” said Western Brown head coach Don Sizer during a post-game interview. “All I can say is that the guys are working hard.

work of so many dedicated advocates from across the US,” said NDSS President Sara Hart Weir. “We couldn’t be more proud to participate in the launch of the STABLE Accounts in Ohio.” “National Disability Institute, along with the ABLE National Resource Center, congratulate the State of Ohio on the inaugural launch of the country’s first 529A ABLE program,” said Christopher Rodriguez, Senior Public Policy Advisor of the National Disability Institute. “Ohio, by providing these tax advantaged savings accounts to children and adults with disabilities, has begun to pave the way for a transformative opportunity for one of our country’s most disenfranchised populations. “The benefits of these STABLE Accounts will surely promote people with disabilities, and their families, to save for their futures and become a more significant part of the

economic mainstream.” STABLE Accounts have similar features to normal bank accounts, but are also investment accounts, similar to 529 college savings accounts or 401(k) retirement accounts. When a participant deposits money into their STABLE Account, the money can be invested in different options chosen by the participants. While participants can still withdraw and spend money as needed, a STABLE Account also allows money to grow and to save long-term for disability expenses. Eligible individuals can set up their STABLE Account for free at www.stableaccount.com. An initial contribution of at least $50 is required in order to set up an account. These tax-advantaged savings accounts allow families to set aside money to use on qualified expenses such as education, healthcare, housing and transportation. Earnings

and distributions from an ABLE Account for qualified disability expenses do not count as taxable income of the contributor or eligible beneficiary. Participants can also request a STABLE Card, a loadable prepaid debit card, that can be used to easily spend money on qualified expenses and is available at no-cost to all STABLE Account users. The STABLE Card functions just like a regular debit card, and allows users the ability to easily track their expenses and keep records. Ohio is currently the only state in the nation to offer this debit card option, which drastically improves quality of life and promotes financial independence. There are minimal costs associated with maintaining a STABLE Account. Ohio residents will pay $2.50 per month ($30 annually) to maintain their accounts. Residents of other states will pay $5.00 per month ($60 annually) to

The Ohio Treasurer’s office held an information session on Wednesday on the recently launched STABLE Accounts for Brown County families and community members. Ohio Treasurer Josh Mandel launched STABLE Accounts on June 1, 2016, making Ohio the first state in the country to offer enrollment for eligible individuals living with disabilities. STABLE Accounts are made possible by the federal Achieving a Better Life Experience (“ABLE”) Act passed by Congress in 2014. STABLE Accounts allow individuals with disabilities the opportunity to save and invest money without losing eligibility for certain public benefits programs, like Medicaid, SSI or SSDI. Earnings in STABLE Accounts are not subject to federal income tax, so long as funds are spent on qualified disability expenses, such as housing, transportation and

Reporting livestock deaths is important

The Livestock Indemnity Program (LIP) provides assistance to eligible producers for livestock death losses in excess of normal mortality due to adverse weather and attacks by animals reintroduced into the wild by the federal government or protected by federal law. LIP compensates livestock owners and contract growers for livestock death losses in excess of normal mortality due to adverse weather, including losses due to hurricanes, floods, blizzards, wildfires, extreme heat or extreme cold. For 2016, eligible losses must occur on or after Jan. 1, 2016, and before December 31, 2016. A notice of loss must be filed with FSA within 30 days of when the loss of livestock is apparent. Participants must provide the following supporting documentation to their local FSA office no later than 30 calendar days after the end of the calendar year for which benefits are requested: • Proof of death documentation • Copy of growers contracts • Proof of normal mortality documentation USDA has established normal mortality rates for each type and weight range of eligible livestock, i.e. Adult Beef Cow = 1.5% and Non-Adult Beef Cattle (less than 400 pounds) = 3%. These established percentages reflect losses that are considered expected or typical under “normal” conditions. Producers who suffer livestock losses in 2016 must file both of the following: • A notice of loss the earlier of 30 calendar days of when the loss was apparent or by January 30, 2017 • An application for payment by January 30, 2017. Additional information about LIP is available at the Brown County FSA Office at (937) 378-6173 or the Clermont County FSA Office at (513) 732-2181.

Carly Ratliff, with Brown County Farm Bureau spent three days in Washington, D.C. Sept. 13-15 with the Ohio Farm Bureau. Ratliff, along with 55 members of Ohio Farm Bureau AgriPOWER Class VIII and Young Agricultural Professionals and several OFBF state board and staff members, reported to the American Farm Bureau Federation for briefings on current policy issues, including the farm bill, food safety, and trade. Two of the main legislative topics throughout the trip were trade, specifically the Trans-Pacific Partnership, and prep for the farm bill, which will come to the legislative forefront as it is worked on and written through most of 2017, with a vote in 2018. The participants were also surprised to meet with the American Farm Bureau President Zippy Duvall, who stopped in at the Federation office to thank members for their efforts and support. The surprise visit was very inspiring and motivating to the group. Attendees also visited the French Embassy to hear about agriculture in France and the European Union’s impacts on agriculture and trade in the United States. The group also had the opportunity to meet with congressional legislators and representatives from Ohio. After meeting with Congressional legislators, the whole group was briefed by the Senate Ag Committee. The team was also briefed at the U.S. Department of Agriculture on beginning farmer and land tenure programs, as well as foreign ag service and trade. Ohio Farm Bureau is a true grassroots membership organization that was formed with the idea that farmers working together could solve community problems. The organization continues to do that and build partnerships between farmers and consumers in the #1 Industry in Ohio – Agriculture.
