Abandoned dogs rescued from deplorable conditions BY Martha Jacob The Brown County Press A report of animal cruelty has led to the discovery of dozens of malnourished dogs...and of the bodies of dozens more being stored in an old freezer. The house did not have electricity and the freezer was not working. At least 39 dogs were taken from a home on Tri-County Highway between Sardinia and Mt. Orab, Oct. 11, and their owner is facing animal cruelty and neglect charges. Teri Lea Hamilton of Sardinia faces four criminal complaints, filed by the Brown County Humane Society including: * Prohibition against failure to register dog or dog kennel which carries up to a $100 fine * Cruelty to companion animal (failure to obtain veterinarian care) a first degree misdemeanor which carries up to six months and/or $1,000 fine
* Tags to be worn, a minor misdemeanor which caries up to a $150 fine * Cruelty to companion animal (insufficient quantities of good wholesome food and water and living in poor conditions) a second degree misdemeanor which carries 90 days and/or a $750 fine A multitude of neighbors complained that the dogs had been abandoned, leading the Brown County Humane Society to obtain a search warrant on Friday, Oct. 9. With coordinated efforts of Adams County Dog Warden, Paul Hughes, members of C.A.R.T. (Tri-state, County Animal Response Team), the Brown County Humane Society in Georgetown, and the Brown County Sheriff's Department, all the dogs were taken directly to a veterinarian for check-up of their condition then on to a temporary facility. Hamilton was not at home and unavailable for comment CONTINUED ON PAGE 11

Commissioners set 2011 county budget appropriations BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press The Brown County Commissioners have a temporary budget for 2011. It looks a lot like the budget for 2010. The grand total of the county general fund in the temporary 2011 budget is $8,048,166 dollars compared to $7,997,891 in the 2010 budget. Appropriations levels were generally held at 2010 levels for all county departments, with the only cut being made to the Miscellaneous fund from $119,000 in 2010 to $100,000 in 2011. Slight increases were also appropriated in the General Fund for the County Commissioners fund, the County Recorder and the Board of Elections. The County Commissioner
fund increased from $802,068 in 2010 to $813, 568 in 2011. The Board of Elections is getting $275,021 dollars in the 2011 budget as opposed to $234,581 in 2010. That extra $41,000 is to defray the additional costs of the upcoming Nov. 2 election. All other appropriations were flat or received additions of less than five percent. County Commission President Margary Paeltz said all appropriations are temporary until the final budget is approved in April of 2011. The other major differences in the 2011 temporary budget from 2010 were an increase in the County Capital Improvement Fund and the addition of a Budget Stabilization Fund. The capital improvement fund rose from $150,000 to $392,000 and the Budget
Stabilization Fund is $400,000 dollars. “That money is what is going to help see us through to March”, said Paeltz. March is when the first property tax payments for 2011 are received by the county from the February payments. The county is expected to gain an additional $500,000 or so per year due to the 1/4 cent increase in the county sales tax that went into effect October 1. Payments are disbursed by the state monthly and the county is expecting a payment of approximately $50,000 in December. Paeltz said that payment and the rest of the additional money is expected to go into the Budget Stabilization Fund. The county Reserve Balance Account remains at CONTINUED ON PAGE 11

2010 a calmer year as flu shots Buy-out of BCGH draws closer available at Health Department BY Martha Jacob The Brown County Press
The Brown County Health Department has been quietly giving flu shots in Georgetown for about a month now. The H1NI scare and accompanying media frenzy of last year are gone, but they’re still keeping pretty busy, giving flu shots to walkins every Tuesday. “We were busier last week and a little slow so far this week”, said Public Health Nurse Kathy Wright. “We’ve done about 1200
vaccinations since we started on Sept. 16.” Susan Wall of Georgetown was one of the walk-in patients that day. “I wanted to get my flu shot because I work with the public and I don’t want to spread it around”, she said. In another change from last year, this years flu shot actually fights three different viruses, including H1N1. Flu shots cost twenty dollars this year at the health department, and pneumonia
shots are available for sixty dollars. Wright said the vaccinations are free of charge to Medicare and Medicaid patients. The walk-in hours for flu shots at the Brown County Health Department are 8 a.m. to noon and 1p.m. to 4 p.m. on Tuesdays. The health department is located at 825 Mt. Orab Pike in Georgetown and the telephone number is (937) 3786892.

ESTIMATES Thousands attend first Appalachian FREE DISCOUNT PRICES! Mountain Artisans Festival $20 OFF BY Martha Jacob The Brown County Press More than 4,800 people visited the first 'Appalachian Mountain Artisans Fest' (formerly the Lewis Mountain Olde Thyme Herb Fair), held in Winchester Oct. 8, 9 and 10 according to Jo Hall, owner/operator of Hilltop Designs of Winchester and coordinator of the project. The event included more than 125 crafters, artists and demonstrators. Although parking was free, donations were accepted which benefited the Alzheimer's Association and the Tri-State Parkinson's Wellness Chapter. More than $3,000 was raised from the parking donations. The fest included primitives and woodcrafts, gourd and pressed flower art, photos of original quilt barn squares, handmade custom jewelry,
handmade soaps and many other one-of-a-kind items. Special entertainment included singer/songwriter Steve Free, The Praisegivers, West Union Steel Drum Band, The Liberty Band and The Rabbit Hash String Band. "We were very excited about this years fest," said Hall. "I was hoping for 5,000 in attendance and we were real close. The children really enjoyed Steve Free's show. Next year we plan on expanding the artisans spaces and leveling out the grounds a little better. We'll have even more artisans and more food vendors. Thanks to everyone who came out and enjoyed the festival." Hilltop Designs held its third annual charity auction with auctioneer Jamie Stout during the event and raised over $2,700.

Compliments for the kids best when coming from others Every day I think to myself what wonderful little boys I have. They are for the most part kind, polite, even tempered, and good natured children. I am proud of them (obviously), but it’s a whole different level of pride when someone else compliments your children. Last week, I received two. The first one came from a parent of a second grade boy that I know. He said his son had earned extra recess time and it was with the 4th graders, and some of the 4th graders were picking on him and calling him names. Apparently, my oldest son who is a 4th grader and told them to knock it off and they did. This parent thanked me
JENI WHITAKER, COLUMINIST and asked me to pass the message on to my son and let him know that was really cool. So when I got home I told Vincent just that and instead of being proud or boastful, he looked me in the eye and said what every parent wants to hear…”I just did what was right.” He would not have told me this story on his own, because he didn’t feel like it was a big deal, but it was to me. It affirms that they are being raised well, and some-
times it’s nice to hear that from someone else. Drew also received a big compliment last week. A parent that volunteers at the school said that when they asked him about his timeline pictures, his favorite one to talk about was the picture of him and his buddy Alex. Alex had brain surgery earlier this year and the picture is from Drew visiting him at the hospital. The parent informed me that Drew thought Alex was really cool and really brave to stay in the hospital like that and that he told her Alex was still going to the hospital and he was kicking cancer’s butt. They said they had never seen a boy be so unafraid to talk about the hospital and posi-
tive that his friend was going to be just fine. I teared up hearing this one. I know that Alex is one of Drew’s best friends so the fact that he’s proud of him, and that he wanted to share this information doesn’t surprise me at all. It was the fact that talking about cancer and hospitals doesn’t bother him, because he’s been informed of the facts and we know Alex will be fine. He’s also being raised with positive outlook on life which he shares with the world. So the next time you see a child making the right choice, doing something sweet, etc… let their parent know, because I assure you, it’s a wonderful thing to hear.
WAYNE GATES, EDITOR with morphine and bandages and try to save lives while bullets flew around them. It almost sounds like a movie...and for many of us, movies are all we have to help us experience even a small part of what Gene Rau and men like him experienced over sixty years ago. But he lived it. Rau wasn’t the only combat veteran at the fair, of course. They all deserve a salute and respect, no matter their age or experiences. Anyone who has spent time in the military has sacrificed part of themselves, even if it’s just their time, for the greater good of our society. Many have paid a much higher price than that. People like 95 year old Carl Couch, who is seen waving to the crowd on page 2 of last weeks Press. I printed what I knew about Mr. Couch, which wasn’t much, but the words I did know spoke volumes. Underneath his picture, the caption reads in part “Mr. Couch is a former Prisoner of War.” God only knows what experiences lie behind those simple words. So to Mr. Rau, Mr. Couch, and all the other veterans and current service members from Brown County, I thank you and salute you once again.
What Do You Think? Letters to the Editor
E V E N
I owe Gene Rau an apology. Mr. Rau is the man featured in the front page photo of last weeks Press. The information I received about him identified him as Gene Round. So to Mr. Rau and his family, my heartfelt apologies for the error. My one regret from the Brown County Fair is that I was unable to attend the Veterans Ceremony on Thursday when that picture was taken. Thursday is the day we put the weekend paper together so I had to deal with that...and then rush down to Georgetown for the first round of the talent show. As I was walking past the ring where the ceremony was going on, I heard someone (Danny Bubp, perhaps?) say “...this young man just returned from Afghanistan”. Then I heard the crowd cheering him. Those are the sort of moments that make us what we are here in Brown County. We are proud of our military members, past and present, and we aren’t afraid to show it. I’ve spoken with a member of Mr. Rau’s family over the past couple of days regarding the name error and have discovered a few more things about him. For example, he had to be evacuated off a ship that hit a mine off Normandy beach before he could get on shore and roll with his fellow soldiers across Germany to shut Hitler and the Nazis down. He was a medic in the 101st Airborne...one of those men who would race into battle

Animal abuse and neglect is a misdemeanor in Ohio. Do you think it should be a felony?
Who or what will control your “X” on November 2? Dear Editor, In the first century Jesus butted heads with big government (Rome), strict religionists (Pharisees), and activist judges (the Sanhedrin). When He was sentenced to death by crucifixion these groups gave each other high fives. But how short-lived was their celebration. For in three days the Sovereign One emasculated the trinity of evil—sin, death, and hell—as He burst forth from the grave. Through unimaginable torture from unprincipled decisions that preceded crucifixion, the Lamb of God never lost his perspective, integrity, or desire to grant mercy to friend and foe alike. Throughout the Lamb’s ministry His eyes were always focused heavenward. That’s where He came from; that’s where He would return. He
knew God was the ultimate source of victory. He was God. Likewise, for 21st century Christians, faith should focus on pursuing Christ-like steadfastness and truths that transcend secular ideologies and cultural boxes. No social cause or political party should own a Christian’s allegiance. We are—first, foremost, and forever—servant’s of God. Thus, as citizens of His kingdom we must resist adopting the libel of the world’s labels—left, right, or center. Honestly, do you believe every elephant is perfect? Nada! Are all donkeys faultless? Certainly not! Is every tea cup flawless? I have yet to meet one! Then why should anyone feel obligated to vote a straight party ticket? Comparatively (really there is no comparison), the Lamb of God has zero faults so why not
mark your “X” in harmony with His revealed portrait of a just leader? On this point, Noah Webster, the “Father of American Education,” a strong Christian leader known for his dictionary still used today, wrote in 1832: “When you (emphasis added) become entitled to exercise the right of voting for public officers, let it be impressed on your mind that God commands you to choose rulers—just men who will rule in the fear of God. “[But] if the citizens neglect their duty and place unprincipled men in office, the government will soon be corrupted…Corrupt or incompetent men will be appointed to execute the laws; the public revenues will be squandered…and the rights of the citizens will be violated or
disregarded. “[Thus,] if a republican government fails to secure public prosperity and happiness, it must be because the citizens neglect the divine commands, and elect bad men to make and administer the laws” (History of the United States, 1832, pp. 307-308). John Wimber, founder of the Vineyard church movement, once said that when people have a genuine and mature relationship with Jesus they will always vote the right things (“right” as biblically oriented). Now is our opportunity, through prayer and determined action, to elect principled men and women who will make and justly administer our laws. By God’s grace, we must not fail! Doug Carter Georgetown
I think animal abuse is a pretty serious offense, because animals can't stand up for themselves, and I think it's our responsibility to take care of them, so yes I think it should be a felony. Brandi Dietrick Georgetown
I do think it should be a felony because an animal is completely defenseless, it's not like they can defend themselves against humans, and the person shouldn't just get a slap on the wrist. Nichole Teegarden Sardinia
Yes it should be felony because animals are living beings and they should be treated properly. Kathy Werner Georgetown
Yes I think it should, cruelty to an animal is the same as cruelty to a person. Marilyn Gadzinski Mt. Orab
Well, I don't believe in starving or abusing an animal. The abusers should be prosecuted in some way, but I'm not sure it should be a felony. Tim Watson Mt. Orab
In extreme case of animal abuse, it should be a felony, because those animals can't defend for themselves, that's our responsibility. Thomas W. Spurlock Sardinia

Officer Robert Gifford was called to our residence regarding a dispute with a neighbor. Upon arriving, Officer Gifford already had a bad attitude towards me. As I was explaining the situation to him in a calm manner, the Officer was

extremely rude, and used very foul language at me. I am not a criminal, and I do not have a criminal record. Before I moved to Georgetown, I believed that policemen were the ones to count on when you needed them. I went to Chief Buddy Coburn and told him about my encounter with the officer. He advised me to write a report of what happened and any witness reports (which I had two witnesses) and return them to him and he would review them and make a decision. The next week I contacted the Chief to find out what he had decided. He told me that he had spoken to the Officer, and even though the Officer acted unprofessionally that NO disciplinary action would be taken. After
speaking with the Chief I felt violated a second time. What do you do when the people who are hired to protect you, are the ones who are the bullies? I have to talked to quite a few people who have had similar incidents with the Georgetown Police Department. If no one speaks up, nothing will ever be done about this unprofessional behavior. In closing, Mr. Gibson, I DO feel the same as you, and I will NOT have anything to do with the Georgetown Police Department again, and I do NOT want them on our property again without a warrant. Mrs. Jenene Mack Pleasant Township

SUSAN BASTA they cannot have more than one passenger who is not a family member in the vehicle. (Seventeen year-olds are restricted from driving between 1 AM and 5 AM and they can only have as many passengers as seat belts in the vehicle.) In a study conducted by the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) and State Farm Insurance, frequentlyobserved distractions involving teen drivers or passengers included loud music, passengers dancing or singing, passengers acting wild, passengers urging the driver to speed, heightened emotions, and cell phones. One approach to preventing teen crashes is the “Ride Like A Friend” Campaign which comes from State Farm and the CHOP Center for Injury Prevention. During the upcoming National Teen Driver Safety Week (October 17th to 23rd), Brown County Safe Communities wants our local teens and their parents to know more about “Ride Like A Friend”. The goal of this campaign is to prevent fatal crashes with teens by encouraging safe teen passenger behaviors, and it provides excellent materials for doing so. You see, one of the reasons why we need to promote this campaign is that although teen passengers are such a driving hazard for teen drivers, only 10% of
teens view peer passengers as a major factor in driving safety. The website www.ridelikeafriend.com has tip sheets for parents, materials for teens, and campaign materials which can be used by high school organizations to promote safe teen driving. The Ride Like A Friend Program was developed after hundreds of teens were interviewed to get their perceptions of unsafe passenger and driver behaviors and their ideas for solving this problem. The program has been shown to be effective because it takes a positive approach to the teen driving issue. This is important, as research shows that using scare tactics leads to fear and shortterm behavior change—but positive messages lead to longterm behavior change. The teens who were interviewed said that they wouldn’t consider completely eliminating teen passengers from their vehicles for the first 6 months or 1,000 miles after receiving their driver’s licenses. However, they would use these safe driving behaviors: wearing seat belts; establishing safe driverpassenger interaction; cutting down on driver distractions; asking for help as a driver; and turning down the radio volume. The Ride Like A Friend Program has basic messages for teen drivers and teen passengers which go along with the interviewed teens’ ideas. For the teen driver, the basic messages are: Set your rules, buckle up, ask for help, and expect respect from your passengers--if they’re your friends, they should help you to be a safer driver. The basic messages for the teen passenger are: Buckle up, be there to give help to the
driver (give directions, answer cell phone calls, etc.), and show respect to the driver—if you’re the driver’s friend, you should care! One of the most helpful things your teen can do in this website is to set up his or her own list of rules for passengers which can be displayed in the motor vehicle. Have a discussion with your teen about being a good friend by being a better passenger--what better time to do it than during National Teen Driver Safety Week? For more information, go to www.ridelikeafriend.com. The Brown County Safe Communities Program is funded by the U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Ohio Department of Public Safety/Ohio Traffic Safety Office. The Program is administered by the HEALTH-UC and the University of Cincinnati AHEC Program. HEALTHUC’s office is located at 114 East State Street in Georgetown, Ohio.

According to traffic safety experts, car crashes cause more teen deaths each year than drugs, violence or suicide. In fact, motor vehicle crashes are THE leading cause of death among teens aged 16 to 18. The death rate for drivers age 16 to 19 years, based on miles driven, is four times that of drivers age 25 to 69 years. Traffic safety and injury prevention experts no longer call motor vehicle crashes “accidents”. Why? Because a car crash, especially one involving a teen driver and/or teen passengers, has a cause or a set of causes. For example, a cause could be something like a distracting passenger, cell phone use (either texting OR calling), driving under the influence of alcohol or other drugs, drowsy driving, speeding, or driving inexperience. But the good news is that by understanding that crashes have causes, we can actually do something to help prevent teen crashes. Traffic safety research points to in- and out-of-the car distractions as the #1 cause of fatal teen crashes, with one of the major distractions being teen passengers. Did you know that having a single teen passenger in the vehicle doubles a teen driver’s fatal crash risk? With three or more teen passengers, the fatal crash risk is multiplied times FOUR for the teen driver. This is why Ohio now has graduated driver licensing (GDL) in effect. This system is designed to make the learning process safer for new teen drivers by managing these risks as new drivers learn. This is also why ---16 year-old drivers are restricted from driving between midnight and 6 AM, and why

Letters to the Editor
It’s not Christ, it’s Christians Dear Editor, I was approached by an individual not long ago and told that I’m too judgmental of those in the clergy and of organized religion in general. This person stated that I held an extremely pessimistic view of religious traditions and that my views were seriously hurting the reputation of the institutional church in its various and sundry forms. It was stated that my views, held forth in your publication, were fueling debates among the members of local congregations and causing dissension in the ranks. Quite frankly, I don’t see myself as having the power to cause too much of a ruckus - I’m just one ‘schmuck’ with an opinion who likes to blurt things out. But if my measly opinion can cause some conversation to occur...well..I’m glad. However, the observation about me being pessimistic
regarding organized religion and many religious professionals...okay...I’ll accept that as valid. I’ve been in this business too long and I know how it works behind the scenes. Some will say that I’ve been tainted. I, on the other hand, say that I’m just realistic. I believe in the Christian faith. My faith is fully in Jesus Christ. I believe that true Christianity is represented by those who are faithful to the message of the Bible. But I also believe that the message of the Bible has been obscured by organized religion and religious tradition, often to the point of making a mockery of Christianity. Just as Jesus accused the religious leaders in His day of obscuring the message, I believe that the same think is happening today - by denominations, by so-called religious programming, by tele-
Reader says Portman is his man for the Senate new jobs and getting our economy back on track. He is the most experienced candidate and knows how to get things done in Washington, DC. Rob will stand strong against big government and legislation that will stall the economy and job creation like the cap and trade energy tax. Rob Portman will focus his energy on getting people in Ohio back to work and reducing government spending. Again, please consider voting for Rob Portman because he is dedicated, experienced and will get the job done for us. Gerry Cotter Westerville

Dear Editor, I am writing to ask people to please consider voting for Rob Portman for U.S. Senate. I have been looking for work for 9 months. I recently accepted a short-term, part-time position to help bring in some money for my household while I continue to search for a permanent position. I have met Rob Portman several times and I have heard him talk about his plans to help create jobs. He makes a lot of sense and knows what he is talking about. If you watched the debate, then you also realize that Rob Portman is focused on creating
vangelists, by other Christian media outlets and publications and products and gimmicks and whatever else you can think of being used to sell people on religion. I talk to too many people looking for the real deal, many of which have walked away from organized religious empty and disillusioned with the ‘religious package’ they were handed and told that it was the real thing. When I get told by some young man or woman that ‘church’ wounded them more than helped them, I get a bit upset with what is passing itself off as ‘church’. I think that a better, more real, idea of Christianity should be represented by people of faith. True Christianity is about a relationship, not a religion. Sure, I know some church snobs who think I’m a radical and nut case. Big deal! Some say that my views lack theological sophistication. No problem! Some say that I'm too unorthodox. I can live with that! All I’m saying is that many of the people on the outside of the church are looking in to try and find out if its for real or fake - and they’re hungry for the real deal! Many, if not most, are turned off by attempts to sell them on a packaged Christianity that is lacking in content. They want something more, something with substance. And, unfortunately its just not there for them. If my critique of the institutionalized church is wrong, then please prove it and set me straight. I don’t mind being corrected. But if my observations are correct, then I guess I don’t have to apologize for being right. I only have to apologize for being a part of a religious system that doesn't always work like it should.

Brown County safe communities receives funding for 2011 HEALTH-UC and the University of Cincinnati Area Health Education Center (AHEC) Program are pleased to announce that once again they have been awarded a Safe Communities Program grant for Brown County for federal fiscal year 2011 from the Ohio Traffic Safety Office (OTSO). Partnerships are very important to the longterm success of any safety effort, and these funds will help to continue already-existing partnerships with local law enforcement and other local and state safety partners to decrease the number of fatal and serious injury crashes on Brown County roads. Beginning this month, the Brown County Safe Communities Coalition will plan and conduct activities to increase seat belt use, prevent
drunk and drugged driving, and promote motorcycle safety. The Coalition will also continue its emphasis on youthful driver safety, and distracted driving (e.g., cell phone use and texting while driving) will certainly be a part of that emphasis during the next 12 months. The grant funds for the Brown County Safe Communities Program are passed through the OTSO from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to support the efforts of safety partners statewide and focus on the previously mentioned traffic safety priority issues. HEALTH-UC has been coordinating the Safe Communities Program since it began in Brown County in October of 2000 with the help of several participating organizations. Brown County Safe Communities has excellent representation from local law enforcement agencies, courts, educational systems (particularly the high schools), the emergency medical system, other health care organizations, business and industry, and other county leaders, including all three of our County Commissioners. For more information about Brown County Safe Communities (or if you wish to join the Coalition), please call Sue Basta, Project Director at HEALTH-UC at 937-378-4171.

LIFE SOURCE In John 15:1 Jesus said: “I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.” The husbandman is the person who takes care of the vineyard. He does the trimming, the pruning of the branches, and he is responsible for making sure that it does not just grow into all brush and no fruit. A vineyard which is pruned property will out produce by far the one that is not. In verse 5 Jesus states again: “I am the vine...” but goes on to say: “ye are the branches:...” That is you and I. We are the branches. The fruit is produced on the branches which is fed by the vine. As we all know, a branch which is not part of the vine has no life source to that branch. Look with me in Romans 11 where it is talking collectively about the Jews and the Gentiles, referring to them as an olive tree. Verses 16-18: “For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches. And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree; Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.” A branch which has no life source can be grafted onto a living tree and partake of it. It can then draw it’s life from that tree! The Bible tells us that we must be born again; we must obtain a new life source in order to live. That is a must because in Romans 6:23 it tells us: “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” The wages of sin is death so we need a new life source. Jesus Christ is a new life source! Last Fall I cut a branch off of a tree and threw it onto a brush pile. This Spring as my wife and I were walking past it she noticed something. That branch which I had cut off had leaves growing on it. How could that be? Well, that branch still had a certain amount of sap in it which it had retained. When it had been cut off there were still buds on it so come Spring it brought forth leaves. Let me ask you a question. If it had been a fruit tree, how much fruit would it produce? The obvious answer is none. It is like a cut flower in a vase. A bud can bring forth a flower but before long it begins to wither away. So did the branch which I had cut off last Fall. It did not have a new life
B R O A D S H E E T
DR. CHARLES SMITH MT. ORAB BIBLE BAPTIST CHURCH www.bbcmtorab.com source. It lived for a short while and died. Jesus said in John 15:5: “I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.” The branch cannot bear any fruit unless it is connected to the vine! In the book of Romans we are grafted onto the olive tree. Therefore we can grow and bear fruit because we are now connected to the root. However, it is not the root which determines the fruit; it is the branch. You can graft a red delicious apple branch onto a yellow delicious apple tree and that branch will still produce red delicious apples. What I am saying is that when we are born again individually we are grafted into the source of life. But we are still individuals and will produce differently even though we are drawing our life from the same source. Now consider this. People, who are not born again, are like that branch which I cut off last Fall. They will live for a short while but produce no fruit. It will not be long before they wither and die because they do not have a new life source. In verse 6 of John 15 Jesus tells us: “If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.” People who are not grafted into that life source, which is Jesus Christ, will wither away fruitless, die, and be cast into a burning Hell for all eternity. They will never again have a chance to be grafted in. It is an individual decision which every one of us has to make. We have all sinned, but we can all be saved. Believe on the Lord Jesus, the Son of God, His death, burial, and resurrection. Repent, pray, and ask God the Father for forgiveness. Pray ending your prayer in the name of Jesus Christ. It was He who died for your sin.

Sardinia Elementary second graders experience stories first hand
B R O A D S H E E T
Sardinia Elementary second graders "saddled up" after reading a story in their textbooks about life on a cattle ranch. The students got the chance to sit on a real western saddle like the one they read about. They used the saddle horn to hold their lariat and pretended to be on a roundup looking for missing cattle. While they didn't save any real calves like the cowboy in their story, the students did enjoy the chance to experience some aspects of life on a cattle roundup. These students are in the 2nd grade classes of Mrs. Lana Richey, Mrs. Cathy Hamilton, and Mrs. Karlita Stump.

“Landscapes/Meditations on Color,” an exhibition featuring artist Jennifer Wenker, is currently on display in the Learning Resources Center (LRC) of Southern State Community College’s South Campus, 12681 U.S. Route 62, Fincastle. The exhibition will be available for viewing through Dec. 10.A meet-theartist reception will be held 6:30-8:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 21, in the LRC.A Greenfield native, Wenker earned her bachelor’s degree in studio art from Morehead State University and is currently working toward an M.F.A. from the University of Cincinnati. She maintains a web site at www.jenniferwenker.com and works from her home studio which overlooks the natural landscape of rural Ohio. “Fields of grasses are deeply spiritual places for me,” she said. “They are metaphors for the unique expressions of the spirit: Many individuals sharing root systems, sharing the elements
of the soil and the water to grow; they are individuals bending together in the winds, holding fast to the earth. Their gentle music is meditative and renewing. I feel connected there and I find peace. “The focus of my new work is on color relationships and patterns of light and shadow in the tall grass fields of the Appalachian foothills— my home. My goal is to paint the emotional feeling of a place—not to describe colors in a photographic way. “I feel a deep peace being surrounded by Nature and I want to express that ‘intangible something.’ Sometimes that feeling is an overwhelming joy in seeing a field of deep purple ironweed or the impossibly delicate blue color of cornflowers growing along rural roads. I love huge areas of color. I have been moving toward simplifying the landscapes into patterns of color because it is the color relationship that interests me.” Wenker and her husband Randall, a psychologist with

Question: The son of a close friend killed himself a few months ago, and it’s so hard to understand. Is there anything that can be done to help prevent suicides among our high-school aged kids. It is so tragic. At that age they are so young and have so much to look forward to. Answer: This is an excellent question. In fact, one of my colleagues lost a son to suicide several years ago, and the young man’s mother has worked tirelessly ever since to increase suicide awareness and prevention. Her efforts have been focused through an excellent program run by the Yellow Ribbon International Suicide Prevention Program. Before I give you more details about this program, here are some basic facts. Suicide is the third leading cause of death for young people ages ten to twenty-four, and the second leading cause of death for college students. It is the sixth leading cause of death in children from 6 to 9 years old. A major cause of suicide is a treatable psychiatric illness. In fact, ninety percent of teens who commit suicide have been diagnosed with a psychiatric problem. One of the most common
MARTHA SIMPSON of these is depression. Yellow Ribbon says there are “warning signs” that can help you spot depression in teenagers. They are: feelings of sadness or hopelessness, feeling angry or moody, crying easily, chronic worrying, difficulty concentrating, declining school performance, loss of pleasure or interest in activities that used to be fun, sleeping too much or too little, and changes in weight or appetite. Yellow Ribbon -- sponsored by the Auxiliary to the American Osteopathic Association -- emphasizes the fact that suicide is most often not a wish to die, but a desire to end the pain of living. If teens ask for help and have an opportunity to talk about their feelings, it can lessen this pain. Yellow Ribbon has developed an effective method to encourage teens to take that first step and ask for help. Yellow Ribbon distributes
cards to teenagers that they can use as a “lifeline” to seek adult help when they don’t have words to express their feelings. One of these cards says at the top in big letters “THIS CARD IS A CRY FOR HELP.” It tells the person who receives the card to stay with the teen, because “you are their lifeline.” It asks the recipient to listen, to take the issue seriously and to get help immediately. At the bottom of the card is a help-line phone number. Even if you’re not given one of these lifeline cards, there are still ways you can help the teenagers you know. First, remember the warning signs of depression I mentioned earlier. Second, take his or her words and actions seriously. Don’t ignore any talk of suicide, hopelessness or despair. Ask about the teen’s home life. Situational stress such as the death of a parent or abuse can lead to thoughts of suicide. Seek professional help. Remember that depression is treatable both with drugs and counseling. To educate yourself about teen suicide, log onto www.yellowribbon.org, visit your local library, or look in the phone book for support groups.

The Brown County Press - Sunday, October 17, 2010 - Page 11
One of my favorite gardening books is a Garden Almanac. The author has compiled all the essential information that a gardener can refer to year in and year out. Every gardener, whether master or novice, can use a guide to seasonal garden tasks. This month we do an assortment of tasks aimed at creating next year’s garden. October’s tasks include: 1. Have your lawn and garden soil tested. You can contact the Brown County OSU Extension office for more information, or go to Ohioline and refer to Fact Sheet HYG1132-99. 2. Rake up fallen leaves and add them to your compost heap. 3. Mulch areas intended for early spring planting. 4. Plant trees and shrubs and water deeply before ground freezes. 5. After leaf fall, take hardwood cuttings. 6. Reseed the lawn until the soil cools. 7. Mark late-to-emerge perennials. 8. Rake up or pull out annuals once they’re killed by frost. 9. Clean up your perennial beds.
10.Continue planting hardy spring-flowering bulbs. 11.Direct-seed lettuce, endive, and escarole. 12.Take cuttings of your favorite herbs to grow indoors over winter. 13.Dig, sever, and replant rooted suckers of raspberries. 14.Remove stakes and other garden equipment from the vegetable garden. 15.After a killing frost, clean up the vegetable garden. Squash vine borers winter over in plant debris. Remember tidying up the garden will ensure the healthy and vigorous development of next year’s flowers, foods, lawns, and ornamental plants. Also, don’t forget to protect those young trees from rutting deer. If the trunk is 1 to 4 inches in diameter, you can use a piece of 4-inch plastic drain tile. Split/cut it down one side and slide it on the tree. Be sure to take it off the first of March. Each year a buck deer works his magic on several of my Norway Spruce trees. Visitors often comment on my natural pruning techniques. I just smile and remember how cute the fawns were in the spring. Don’t forget about our Fall Gardening Workshop on Saturday, October 16 at Rhonemus Hall at the Brown County Fairgrounds from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Doug
Abandoned dogs rescued from deplorable conditions CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 at the time of the seizure and did not return calls made by the Press. According to Jan Staubach, humane society volunteer, Hamilton had been visiting the residence at least once a week to feed and water the dogs. "The electricity was shut off to this house over two months ago," Staubach said, "The conditions inside the house are terrible and the heat must have been unbearable for those poor animals, this summer. And this isn't the first time that dogs have been taken away from this woman for improper care. Several years ago over 60 dogs had to be rescued from her possession, from a different address." Staubach also stated that on Sept. 30, neighbors reported to the sheriff's department that a dog had been hit by a car and was in bad shape. The dog was picked up and taken to a veterinarian for surgery and still faces two more surgeries as well as the removal of one of its eyes. Bonnie Morrison, executive director of C.A.R.T. and several volunteers, prepared dozens of cages and tags as each of the dogs, all chihuahua's with the exception of one basset hound and two mix breeds were removed from the house one by one. Most of the dogs were friendly and seemed happy to see humans, but several had to be handled carefully as they were considered 'biters.' Hamilton, owner of the

Falcon has agreed to assume the hospital's debt, contractual liabilities and capital leases pending completion of the due diligence process. Brown County Commissioner Margery Paeltz stated that she believed the hospital purchase is going to be very good for the community. "Residents will still have excellent health care right here, and the hospital will do well," Paeltz said.

Her website states that her chihuahua's are healthy, happy and playful. However, according to Staubach, Hamilton did not have a kennel license. C.A.R.T. is a non-profit organization made up of volunteers, for the sole purpose of helping any and all animals in need. Hughes, the Adams County Dog Warden, volunteered his time on his day off to assist with the collection of the animals. "Brown County doesn't have a dog warden right now and I think it's important that we all to help each other out whenever we can through these rough times," Hughes said. "Although it was obvious that the dogs had been receiving food and water, there was very little sign of much water, the animals were infested in fleas and living in filthy conditions. Some had sore eyes, ear infections and toenails in terrible shape." The dogs will remain at the temporary facility until after the case goes to court.
Commissioners set temporary 2011 budget CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 $5,000 dollars. Paeltz said putting the budget together was “difficult as usual” but the biggest accomplishment was “we are keeping our people working without any layoffs”. Paeltz said the commissioners will be meeting monthly to assess the financial situation and make changes if necessary. “We’ll be taking it a month at a time to see what our revenues are”, Paeltz said. A permanent 2011 budget is due April 1 by state law.

2010 has been an unusual year for local farmers 2010 Has Been a Bizarre Summer That could most definitely be an understatement. I know, some of you are probably thinking that I am talking about the fact that the Reds actually made the playoffs, but that is not the only bizarre thing that 2010 has brought us. Even though the Reds were 3 and out, I don’t think it will be bizarre for the next few years. Enough about the Reds for now, time to talk about the other bizarre things. The first thing would be how early so much of the crops in Brown County were planted with the warm, dry April. Then we get the rain in May and June that we normally get in April. July was hot, but not bad as far as rain. Early planted crops benefited from the rain and reports from most farmers that I talked to during the fair seem to be getting really good yields from the early planted fields. However, not the entire crop was planted in April. The crop that did not get planted in April was, for the most part, in June. So we have an early crop that is yielding great, and a late crop that did not get the moisture that it needed to finish because it quit raining in early August and has been dry since. The lack of moisture in August and September has put a hamper on the pasture situation, too. Grass that just kept coming back through most of August, simply quit in September. The hay crop was abundant, but now the idea of feeding hay in October has become a reality for some, and probably should for others. Grazing the fields down to the ground this late will most likely not give them time to recover, thus hurting the chances for recovery even next summer. The upcoming Grazing School mentioned below in the Dates to Remember will address some of the grazing issues.

Broncos climb above .500 with SBC win over CNE Rockets By Ritchie Butler The Brown County Press The Western Broncos improved to 4-3 overall, 3-1 in the Southern Buckeye Conference when they defeated the Clermont Northeastern Rockets at the “Launching Pad” last Friday, 28-12. “We’ve overcome the injuries and our defensive line has stepped up,” said Western coach Evan Dreyer. “They played a heckuva ball game tonight.” The Rockets received the opening kickoff and the Bronco defense set the tone for the evening, holding CNE to zero yards on the game’s opening drive. Western didn’t fare any better on its first drive. The Broncos moved the ball into CNE territory before the drive ended with an interception. The Rockets mustered five yards on their next touch, forcing them to punt. Nick Woodyard received the kick and returned the ball for a touchdown. But the score was nullified when Western was flagged for an illegal block. But the Broncos still had good field position, starting at CNE’s 46 yard line. In just over two minutes, Western marched 46 yards for a score. The drive culminated with a Woodyard to Brad Rhodes 15-yard scoring strike. Rhodes added the point after, giving the Broncos a 7-0 edge. The Rockets responded immediately, scoring on a 72-yard touchdown run with 1:46 left in the first frame. The PAT was no good, keeping the score 7-6 in favor of Western. After a nice return by Jordan Haggerty on the ensuing kickoff, the Broncos started in Rocket territory, this time at CNE’s 40. Woodyard hit Jake Banfil for 21 yards and found Rhodes for six, moving the ball to the CNE six. Four straight keepers by Woodyard resulted in a turnover on downs just inches short of the goal line. The Rockets moved the ball out of the shadow of their own goal post, but the drive ended with a punt. The Broncos went 22 yards in six plays, but again turned the ball over on downs. CNE took over at Western’s 45 yard line, but again the Bronco defense held strong, forcing a three-and-out. The Bronco offense moved the ball to CNE’s 36 before turning it over on downs. The Rockets punted on their next possession, giving the ball back to Western just before the half (time is unknown because of a scoreboard malfunction). Woodyard completed two passes to Banfil before time expired on the first half. Heading into intermission, Western clung to a 7-6 advantage. After the break, Western started at its own 25. Nine plays later, Woodyard found Rhodes with a 50-yard touchdown pass. Rhodes nailed the PAT, putting the Broncos on top 14-6 with just over nine minutes left in the third.

Western’s Brad Rhodes goes for a few extra yards during the Broncos’ win over CNE. Rhodes caught 15 passes for 214 yards in the victory.
After Western’s defense forced a CNE punt, the Broncos got the ball back on their own 34 yard line. Big ground gains from Woodyard and Tim Cecil moved the ball into Rockets’ territory. Facing a second-and-11, Woodyard hit Banfil with a screen pass. Banfil raced 20 yards to the end zone. Rhodes split the uprights on the PAT, giving the Broncos a 21-6 lead with 5:23 remaining in the third period. Collin Bellini ended CNE’s next drive with an interception, giving the ball back to the hot Broncos offense at their own 24. Woodyard hit Rhodes with a 44-yard gainer on the first play from scrimmage. The familiar combination hooked up again eight plays later for a 27 yard score. Rhodes made the PAT, putting Western in front 28-6 with 2:15 showing on the thirdquarter clock. Again, CNE went three-and-out, forcing an excellent punt which pinned the Broncos deep in their own territory. A 32-yard gain by Woodyard moved the ball out to the 33 yard line. but a holding call and an incomplete pass stalled the drive, forcing a Rhodes punt. After another CNE three-and-out, the Broncos got possession at their own 19 yard line. On the first play from scrimmage, Woodyard found Banfil with a pass, but the senior receiver fumbled. The Rockets recovered at Western’s 22. CNE cashed in on the first play of its possession, scoring on a 22-yard run. The try for two was no good and the Broncos
held a 28-12 lead with 9:01 left in the game. Banfil returned the ensuing kickoff 33 yards, giving Western a short field at CNE’s 48 yard line. The drive ended with Woodyard being picked off, giving the ball to the Rockets at their own 32. The blue and gold could not take advantage and was forced to punt back to the Broncos. Cecil pounded the middle for three nice gains, chewing up some precious time. The drive stalled at Western’s 43 yard line. On fourth-and-nine, the Broncos lined up to go for it. Woodyard took the shotgun snap and booted a 52-yard punt, pinning the Rockets inside their own five. CNE was helped by a Western personal foul penalty, but three incomplete passes sealed the Rockets fate as the Broncos held on for the 28-12 victory. “Different guys stepped up tonight,” said Dreyer. Collin has a nice game. Haggerty played well at linebacker. Cecil stepped in there and showed his potential. Rhodes had a great night (214 yards receiving). He was very consistent and his ankle has gotten better.” Woodyard threw for 379 yards on 33of-53 passes. He also rushed for 89 yards on 22 carries. Rhodes caught 15 passes for 214 yards. Banfil also had 15 receptions good for 153 yards. Cecil added 44 yards rushing on 11 attempts. The Western defense held CNE to 35 passing yards and 152 rushing yards.

schedule. As anyone would want their senior night game to begin, Eastern took the first possession of the game, passed it down the field, and scored their first goal just 15 seconds into the game. The goal came off a combination head shot from senior forward Amber Yockey, with an assist from junior forward Allison Prine.
ior goal keeper Kaylee Purdy. The Lady Warriors went on to capitalize on the blocked shot, scoring their second goal just five minutes into the game on a beautiful shot by senior forward Megan Scott. It wasn’t looking good for West Union’s defense, who gave up two more goals within just over a minute of each other. Connecting yet again, the Eastern Lady Warriors’ duo of forwards Prine and Yockey teamed up on another combination shot at the 20:25 mark. The Lady Warriors’ fourth and final goal of the half came on a lone strike by Prine, who ended the half with two assists and a goal of her own. As the second half was underway, and the Lady Warriors up four, West Union was in desperate need of some offense. Struggling to get across midfield proved to be very difficult, as the Eastern defense just wouldn’t give up anything. The Lady Warriors shot several attempts at the goal but West Union junior goal keeper Mary Hill was on top of her game, not letting anything by her.

advantage, scoring two plays later. The PAT was good, giving the Knights a 28-0 lead. The Rockets went threeand-out, punting the ball back to FCHS. The Knights went to the air immediately, scoring on a 58yard touchdown pass on their first play. The snap on the PAT was bad, but Fairfield Christian's holder ran it in for two. With less than four minutes elapsed in the third, the Knights held a 36-0 lead. Williams went to work on the Rockets' next possession, rushing for 20 yards on the drive. Penalties plagued the Rockets, stalling the offense and forcing another punt. After Fairfield Christian turned it over on downs, the Rocket offense put together an impressive drive. Fayetteville moved the ball 67 yards on 13 plays. The biggest gain came on a 23-yard pass from Williams to Mike Kranz. Williams later scored on a three-yard run. Reed made the PAT, making the score 36-7 with 6:34 left in the game. Neither team was able to gain much on the final three possessions and the game
ended with the Knights claiming a 36-7 win. "We knew it would be tough coming in," said Brisker. "They were 6-0 and had confidence. If we had kept up like we did in the first quarter, it may have been a different outcome. We have got to
put this one behind us and work hard in practice this week. If we start making plays, we'll be successful." The Rockets fell to 2-5 on the year and were set to take on Manchester in the final home game of the year on Friday.

Fayetteville Lady Rockets pick Lady Rockets suffer first SHL loss up two big non-league wins By Ritchie Butler The Brown County Press
By Ritchie Butler The Brown County Press The Fayetteville Lady Rockets improved their record to 9-5-1 by defeating Hillsboro on Monday and Zane Trace on Tuesday. Against Hillsboro, the Lady Rockets withstood an early Lady Indian charge, dropped two goals and held on for a 2-0 victory. "Hillsboro is a good team and this was a quality win," said Fayetteville coach Jim Schmidt. "We found feet well tonight. We made some adjustments and tried to dictate the game. I think we did that." Hillsboro got off seven shots in the first 10 minutes of play, bombarding Cheyenne Ramey in goal. But the Lady Rockets withered the storm and spent most of the first half putting pressure on the Lady Indians' defense. Tori Huber broke a scoreless tie with 17:27 left in the first when she scored from 20-yards out off a drop from Brittany Dozier. The Lady Rockets' defense held Hillsboro the rest of the first frame, claiming a 10 lead at the intermission. Early in the second half, Fayetteville doubled its lead. With 32:55 remaining, Lexi Wiederhold scored off a corner kick from Amanda O'Donnell. Hillsboro had a few attempts on goal in the final 20 minutes,
but the Lady Rockets' defense held strong, preserving the 2-0 win. "We've had some heart-tohearts after some of the adversity," added Schmidt. "We've changed our chemistry. I think we're peaking at the right time." On Tuesday, the Lady Rockets continued to play well, defeating the Zane Trace Lady Pioneers by a score of 3-1. "This was a high-intensity game," said Schmidt. "Zane Trace is strong and they have a lot of speed." It took the Lady Rockets 12 minutes to find the net against the Lady Pioneers. Des Dutro headed in a shot after receiving a cross. With only six minutes left in the first half, Fayetteville scored again, this time off a direct kick from Abby Rowe. The Lady Rockets' defense pitched a scoreless first half and took a 20 lead into the break. "We talked at the half about Zane Trace coming out strong," added Schmidt. "And they did." The Lady Pioneers wasted no time, scoring less than two minutes into the half, trimming Fayetteville's lead to 2-1. It took 12 minutes for the Lady Rockets to respond with a goal of their own. Wiederhold banged in a shot from 20-yards out, giving the Fayetteville team a 3-1 advantage. That's how it ended as the Lady Rocket defense did not allow a goal over the final 38
minutes. "We played good defense and matched their speed," said Schmidt. "We are really building the trust with each other. Trust builds character and character wins championships." The Lady Rockets' players and coaches would like to extend a special thanks to Skyline Chili in Fayetteville for supporting the school and the girls soccer program. Recently, the girls soccer team sold discount coupons to be used at Skyline Oct. 4 through Oct. 8. On Oct. 8, in celebration of Skyline's fifth year in Fayetteville, the Lady Rockets players and coaches were at the restaurant for the 6 p.m. event. The first 50 patrons received special gift and could purchase tickets for a $50 gift certificate. At 6:30 a coney-eating contest was held. Six participated in the three-minute contest. Zach Smyth and Darryl Iles tied by eating six coneys each. Eric Wolfer downed five. Joe Vilvens, Toby Sheets and Mark Ward ate 4 1/2 each. In an overtime minute, Smyth devoured two coneys for the win. “The whole fundraiser was great,” said Schmidt. “Toby brought his own fan club, which made it fun.” The event raised $383 for Fayetteville girls soccer. “A special thanks to everyone who participated,” said Schmidt.

Fayetteville's defense forced a three-and-out and the Knights punted the ball back to the Rockets just before the first quarter ended. With good starting field position, the Rockets marched the ball down to the Fairfield Christian 25. However, on fourth-and-four Williams was sacked, turning the ball over to the Knights on downs. It only took the Knights two minutes to get in their groove. Fairfield Christian mixed the run and pass and scored on a five-play drive. The PAT was good, giving the Knights a 7-0 edge with 7:25 left in the half. A personal foul penalty set the Rockets back on their next touch, forcing a punt, which Fairfield Christian returned to the Fayetteville 36. Six rushes up the middle gave the Knights a score with 3:46 remaining in the second period. The PAT was good and Fairfield Christian held a 14-0 advantage. The Rockets went threeand-out, punting the ball back to the Knights with two minutes showing on the clock. Fairfield Christian struck for two 29-yard passing plays and later scored on a one-yard plunge. The PAT was good, putting the Knights on top, 210. Fayetteville ran four plays for positive yards before time ran out on the first half. "Tanner was forced to come out in the second quarter on defense," said Brisker. "It made a difference." Fayetteville's woes continued early in the second half. On the second play from scrimmage, a fumbled pitch was recovered by the Knights on the Rockets' 25 yard line. Fairfield Christian took

The Fayetteville Lady Rockets volleyball team suffered its first Southern Hills League match of the season on Tuesday, falling to the Whiteoak Lady Wildcats by a score of 3-1. “It was a battle,” said Fayetteville coach Sharon Sheets. “Both teams had great hits.” The opening game saw three ties in the first eight points, but the Lady Rockets started to open things up with their voracious play at the net. Shelby Sheets and Lydia Tissandier tooled blocks and hit some nice roll shots over defenders, giving Fayetteville a 21-11 spread. Whiteoak cut the lead to 2116 before Tissandier served the Lady Rockets out. FHStook game one by a score of 25-16. Game two was all Whiteoak. The Lady Wildcats started serving well and their hitters got more involved in the game. With the score tied 9-9, the Lady Wildcats outscored Fayetteville 16-5, taking the game 25-14 and evening the match score at 11. “In some of our rotations, especially in that second game, we were mentally off the court,” said Sheets. Emily Stahl served the Lady Rockets to an early 3-0 lead in game three. the Lady Wildcats slowly battled back, eventually knotting the score at 10-10. From that point on, the two SHL teams were tied six times and the lead changed hands six times. Trailing 24-20, the Lady Rockets fought back behind a strong service run by Stahl, tying the count at 24-24. The Lady Wildcats got two big kills on the final two points, taking the pivotal game three win, 26-24. “If we could have held on in game three, we could have won the match,” said Sheets. Game four was another barn burner. After Whiteoak raced to a 16-10 lead, Kathryn Fitzpatrick served fourstraight points, pulling the Lady Rockets to within two, at 16-14. Fayetteville battled back to tie the game at 21-21. Sheets tried to grab momentum with a big kill, giving the Lady Rockets the lead at 22-21. Jessica Caplinger responded with a kill of her own for Whiteoak, again tying the count at 22-22.

Whiteoak coach Don Rahe. The Whiteoak skipper nodded and agreed. The loss dropped Fayetteville to 16-2 overall, 11-1 in the SHL with one conference match remaining. “Our mental game got us,” said Sheets. “There wasn’t one thing that lost it. Both teams played well. We battled back and dug deep, so I am proud of our team.”

After a good first quarter of play, the Fayetteville Rockets faltered, falling to the Fairfield Christian Knights by a score of 36-7 last Saturday in Goshen. "It was definitely a team effort, both good and bad," said Fayetteville coach Ben Brisker. "We went to-to-toe with them in the first quarter. Then they got their momentum going." Fairfield Christian took the opening kickoff and moved the ball into Fayetteville territory. Six plays into the drive,
the Rockets caused a turnover when Tanner Williams intercepted a pass, setting the Rockets up for their first possession at their own 32 yard line. Fayetteville opened with a bit of trickery, throwing a halfback pass to quarterback Williams for an 11-yard gain. David Kranz got the ground game going with gains of six and eight yards during the drive. The Rocket offense stalled at the Knights' 45, forcing a punt by Anthony Reed.

Rockets grounded by Mustangs in home finale By Ritchie Butler The Brown County Press The Fayetteville Rockets soccer team fell to Lynchburg on Friday by a score of 3-1, giving the Mustangs at least a share of the Southern Hills League title. “We were a little shorthanded tonight, due to injuries,” said Fayetteville coach Craig Smucker. “We had our opportunities and so did they. Lynchburg took advantage of theirs.” Lynchburg broke a scoreless tie just over 19 minutes into the first half when Michael Smith netted a header
off a pass from Jeremiah Hacker. The remainder of the first frame was a defensive battle. Neither squad was able to put much pressure on the other’s keeper. The half ended with the Mustangs in front, 1-0. Lynchburg doubled its lead early in the second stanza when Kaique Costa scored off a rebound with 32:38 left in the game. With 15:29 showing on the clock, Christian Connor scored on a penalty kick, pulling the Rockets to within one, at 2-1. The Mustangs responded with another goal from Smith.
This one off a cross from Wesley Pierson with 13:50 remaining. Fayetteville went on the offensive late in the game, but was unable to get one in the net. The SHL matchup ended with Lynchburg on top, 3-1. “This was the last game at home for our four seniors,” said Smucker. “They really gave us their all.” The Rockets lose Miah Call, Zach Durham, Jordan Schmidt and Ian Kirschner to graduation this year. The loss dropped the Rockets to 9-4-1 overall, 3-21 in the SHL.

The Fayetteville Lady Rockets kept their hopes for an undefeated season alive last week, downing the Ripley Lady Blue Jays by a score of 3-0 in a Southern Hills League volleyball match. “We have definitely worked hard,” said Fayetteville coach Sharon Sheets. “We set some goals and we are on target.” Game one was a seesaw battle with 11 ties and four lead changes. Gabby Valentine was strong behind the service line, making good on six points, including four aces. Valentine’s four consecutive aces turned the tide in favor of the Lady Rockets, giving Fayetteville a 19-14 edge. The Lady Jays came roaring back, however, tying the score at 20-20 on an ace by Tiffany Hines. Fayetteville’s Lydia Tissandier got hot with her jump serve late in game one, leading the Lady Rockets to a 25-21 victory. Game two was also a heated contest. Ripley jumped out to a 12-8 advantage, only to see the Lady Rockets tie the count at 12-12 behind the strong serving of Haley Elliott.

Warriors shutout West Union By Cory Osborne Press Contributor On Wednesday afternoon, the Eastern Warriors soccer team took on West Union in an SHL divisional battle. The Warriors wasted no time getting on the board early with a shot by Eastern junior midfielder Jordan Payne. Playing all defense the first half, West Union just couldn’t get in sync. Trying hard to get past midfield was troubling on a tough warrior defense. The Warriors fought hard, holding West Union’s offense scoreless, while firing several attempts at West Union junior goal keeper Kyle Griffin. The Warriors second and final goal of the half came with exactly seven minutes left to play. The goal came off an assist from Payne to freshman midfielder Landan Hauke. After a troubling first half, West Union was down by two and needed an offensive attack if they were going to catch up to a strong Eastern soccer squad. With the second half underway, both teams were battling for possession. The Warriors seemed to be playing just as hard as they did in the previous half. Trying several attempts, their next two goals were both scored from close range by sophomore wing midfielder Patrick Beckler. With the score now 4-0, West Union was falling apart. With only a few attempts, the Dragons needed a chance to

get the ball rolling. Their chance came on a corner kick by junior Austin Kingsolver, who launched the ball, barely missing the goal. The Warriors got on the board for the final time with exactly 10 minutes left to play, on a score by sophomore forward Chase Lawson. West Union tried to fight back, but the clock ticked down, and with a score of 5-0 the Eastern Warrior boys soccer team took the win on a
shutout at home. After the game both coaches had this to say. West Union Head Coach Joe Kramer said “Our kids played hard but we’re still working on development”. Eastern Warriors Head Coach Dylan Fain stated “This is our first win since fair, and I’m happy with the way the boys played today”. This moves the Warrior record to 5-7-4, and 3-3-1 in SHL play.
As a result of some important wins in conference play last week, coupled with a Clark State road victory at Ohio State-Marion, UC Clermont has pulled into a three way tie for first place in the Ohio Collegiate Athletic
Conference (OCAC) regular season standings. A win over a tough and talented Ohio Christian squad on Saturday, October 16 would clinch no worse than a co-championship for the Cougars. The latest week of competi-

The Eastern Lady Warrior senior squad consisted of Megan Scott, Amber Yockey, Megan Simpson, Chelsea Inlow, Brooke Lawson, Hannah Granger, Carly Ratliff and Kaylee Purdy With storm clouds moving in and 7:04 left to play, the game was called due to lightning. With the final score of 4-0, the Eastern Lady Warriors became SHL champions, earning them a gold ball, which is only given to teams that go undefeated in their division. After the game, West Union’s Head Coach Nicole Hunter said “Give credit to first-year
goalie Mary Hill, she played hard, and has saved us in many games this year.” As the rain settled in, the Lady Warriors moved their celebration indoors, where Eastern‘s Koehler said, “The girls had a great season, and hats off to my amazing group of seniors, they played well.” This is Koehler’s first year as head coach of the Eastern Lady Warriors soccer program. The next step for the Lady Warriors is tournament play, where they have received a number one seed. They will take on the winner of Fairfield and North Adams, and may even have the chance to play in the semifinals against the only team that has won against them this entire season, Zane Trace High School. Congratulations to the Eastern Lady Warriors on a great season.

This year both the Lady Warriors and Warriors will be supported through the Joe Myers Memorial Scholarship. The schedule of events for the evening is as follows:
Kody Gilkerson trimmed Fayetteville’s lead to 22-21, but the Lady Rockets’ net game was tough in the end, propelling Fayetteville to a 25-22 win. “We looked great the first two games,” said Ripley assistant coach Aimee Carpenter. “But we got in an early hole the third game, which took some momentum out of us.” Emily Stahl served the Lady Rockets to a 9-0 lead in game three. Her string of winners included two aces. Kathryn Fitzpatrick added two more aces, putting the Fayetteville team in front 131. The Lady Jays played hard the rest of the way, but could not overcome the early deficit, falling to Fayetteville in game three, 25-16. “We weren’t as strong at the net tonight,” said Sheets. “But our serving put pressure on them. We need to improve on our hits and coverage.” “We handed them a few easy points,” added Carpenter. “We’ve improved throughout the year, going five games in two of the last three matches.” The win lifted the Lady Rockets to 14-1 overall, 10-0 in SHL play. “We’re taking one game at a time,” said Sheets. “The girls are really working hard at it.”

tion began with a home match-up against USCAA member Miami UniversityHamilton. The Harriers had just beaten Clark State and came into the contest on a roll. Clermont was able to jump out to the lead early and took the first two games 25-15 and 2516. Hamilton recovered for a 26-24 game three win before the Cougars finished the match with a 25-19 game four triumph. A substantial 40 team digs aided the Clermont side. Next the Cougars hosted OCAC foe Southern State. Clermont’s momentum and strong serving (14 aces) were a bit too much for the young Patriot squad as the Cougars swept the contest 25-6, 25-10, 25-8. This win pulled Clermont into the conference co-lead with one match to play. The Cougars stepped away from USCAA play over the weekend and took on two strong NCAA D-III programs – Anderson University and Transylvania University. These teams had both beaten USCAA powerhouse Spalding University earlier in the year and gave the Cougars an opportunity to experience a high level of play. Though the young Cougars were swept in both matches, they gained some valuable experience against fast-paced varsity teams. This experience should serve the Cougars well over the remainder of the schedule. On a positive note, Clermont was able to record 10 service aces over the two matches against some top notch passers.

version, distance education, academic quality initiatives, student centeredness, as well as compensation and benefits. Dr. Ryan McCall, Vice President of Academic Affairs, commented on several of the major issues including the college’s upcoming conversion to a semester calendar system scheduled for 2012 which is the final year of the new agreement. He said, “The old contract was constructed for a quarter-system framework. To avoid complications during the conversion, new language was introduced relevant to future needs.” Working closely with Linda Chamblin, Associate Professor of Mathematics and SSEA bargaining team member as well as others, “We were able to work together through numerous details to make sure the contract was semester ready” said McCall. In addition to the technical aspects of the language surrounding semester conversion, both teams negotiated with mindfulness toward quality and student centeredness. Dr. McCall added further, “We were able to make some significant advancement in our structure for distance education. Collaboratively, we established some clear standards relevant to the distance learning platform, training expectations, and financial considerations that allow for better planning. Through these efforts we have enhanced the efficiency and competitiveness of Southern State’s distance learning programming.” He further commented, “We are also pleased with the mutual resolve to create a more meaningful model for faculty evaluation.” Faculty and administration will be meeting over the next year to design a faculty evaluation system that emphasizes validation and improvement of effective teaching, professional development, and service to the institution. James Bland, Vice President of Student Affairs and Enrollment Management, also added in regard to student centeredness, “Through the negoti-

ations both faculty and administration were deliberate in placing student needs in the forefront. While we didn’t significantly change language related to time on campus, advising, and so forth, we all agreed that it would be worthwhile to evaluate our existing systems related to these items and jointly employ strategies that would make life easier for students in terms of advising and accessing faculty.” In the near future, the college will convene a working group of faculty, staff, administration, and students to improve students’ academic experience. Among the items top on the list include expanding use of the college’s web page to connect students with faculty and explore any unmet advising training needs. “Regarding compensation and benefits, there was unprecedented bargaining between both groups,” commented President Boys. Vice President of Business and Finance, Jim Buck added, “Reaching agreement on sustainable, quality health care was of primary importance.” He further added, “Compensation increases of 3% in addition to the step for each year of the contract, reflects a fair and equitable agreement. The introduction of a high deductible Health Savings Account (HSA) and concessions surrounding the employer/employee contributions to the traditional PPO (80/20% in years two and three of the contract) position the college well for long term sustainability of quality health care.” The SSEA contract is effective September 1, 2010, through August 31, 2013. Among other business, Board Chairperson, Kay Ayers, welcomed Highland County Common Pleas Judge, Rocky Coss to the meeting to install the newest trustees. Judge Coss prefaced his task by mentioning his “support and respect for this institution.” He also applauded the existing and new board members by expressing his appreciation for their will-

Pet overpopulation is a big problem. As these statistics show, in order to help keep up with the current flood of puppies and kittens, every person would have to own two dogs and six cats at all times during their entire lifetime (Assuming that PEOPLE LIVE FOR 75 YEARS, AND DOGS AND CATS FOR 10). A HOUSEHOLD OF FIVE WOULD HAVE TO HARBOR TEN DOGS AND THIRTY CATS! A DOPTION ALONE IS OBVIOUSLY THE ANSWER! NOT Altering is. Please spay or neuter your dogs and cats. All pets should be surgically/neutered for many reasons. See ad for spay/neuter facts. Unwanted animals are becoming a very real concern. Stray animals can easily become a public nuisance; soiling parks and streets, ruining shrubs, frightening children or elderly people, creating noise and other disturbances, causing automobile accidents, and sometimes even killing livestock or other pets. As a potential source of rabies and other diseases, they can become a public health hazard. The capture, impoundment, and eventual destruction of unwanted animals will cost taxpayers millions of dollars each year. Facts about Spaying / Neutering: · Spaying does NOT cause a pet to get fat or lazy. This comes from overfeeding and inadequate exercise. · Spaying does NOT alter personalities. Personalities do NOT fully develop until two
years of age. Aggressiveness and viciousness are not the result of surgery. Personalities will ONLY get better! · Surgical risk is very slight due to modern anesthesia and techniques, but there is ALWAYS some SMALL risk when an anesthetic is used. · It is much easier on the pet to be spayed before going

Southern State Community College (SSCC) and the Southern State Education Association (SSEA) announced on July 20 that they had reached a tentative agreement regarding the faculty contract. During a regularly scheduled board meeting, Wednesday, Sept. 8, the Southern State Community College Board of Trustees voted unanimously to approve the contract between the college and faculty members. “This is a mutual win for everyone involved—simply the best possible outcome,” said Kay Ayres, SSCC Board of Trustees chair. The contract, which previously was agreed to by representatives of the SSEA and Southern State Community College, was ratified by the SSEA on July 23. Following final editing by the SSEA it was then forwarded to the college’s Board of Trustees in early September for approval. “There were many items included in the recent bargaining. On behalf of the SSEA we are pleased that the contract has been ratified by all involved,” said Tom Stroup, Associate Professor and SSEA president. He further added, “Consistent with the nature of the working relationship during negotiations, faculty are eager to begin the work that lies ahead.” “I am pleased that these negotiations have resulted in a timely agreement. Both teams worked hard to prepare a contract that was not only fair and equitable but also one that magnifies the institution’s commitment to academic quality,” said Dr. Kevin S. Boys, SSCC president. President Boys continued, “Finalizing this contract prior to students returning to campus on Sept. 20 represents one less distraction in the important work offering high quality education. I applaud both teams for the work they put into this and I am grateful to the board for their recognition of this work.” Included among the articles opened for negotiation were items relating to semester con-
