Absentee votes keep rolling in BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press If voter turnout in 2012 mirrors 2008, about ten percent of the ballots in Brown County have already been cast. As of the afternoon of Oct. 17, 2117 absentee votes have already been cast at the Brown County Board of Elections. Another 1100 or so have been requested and mailed out but not yet returned.

In the 2008 General Election, 20, 465 votes were cast in the county, for a turnout of 71.93 percent. Kathy Jones, Director of the Brown County Board of Elections, said she thinks turnout in Brown County will be 74 percent, slightly higher than 2008. If that rate holds, 21, 238 of the 28,700 registered voters in Brown County will cast a ballot. In 2008, 28,451 voters were registered in the

county. Jones said that regardless of how many voters hit the polls, the county is ready. “We have printed 101 percent of the ballots we need according to the number of registered voters”, she said. Jones added that she is encouraging people to vote early. “Voting early eliminates lines on election day and CONTINUED ON PAGE 7

Plate readers help fight crime 911 sales tax on ballot again

BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press

One of law enforcements latest tools is in use in Brown County. Three license plate readers are currently active, two with the Brown County Sheriff’s office and one with the Georgetown Police Department. The readers are used to check against a daily database that contains license plate information for people suspected in abductions, have active arrest warrants or involved in other crimes. The readers can read up to 1000 license plates per day, even at highway speeds. The information is then sent by a wireless card in real time to be verified against the data base. Many people, both in and out of law enforcement, have criticized the readers as a privacy invasion or as a

tool to generate tickets...and revenue. Georgetown Police Chief Buddy Coburn said that the readers aren’t used for either purpose by his department. “These readers don’t check for suspended licenses or expired registrations or any of that stuff”, Coburn said. “They don’t have access to that data.” Coburn added that if an alert is generated by the reader, that is not enough justification to pull over a car. “Once the system issues an alert, the officer then verifies the information through LEADS (Law Enforcement Automated Data System). If there is a valid alert in LEADS, that becomes the justification for pulling the car over.” Coburn described the system as nothing more than “a tap on the shoulder” to the

The Brown County Communications Center has been funded by a 1/4 percent sales tax since 1994. That sales tax is up for a five year renewal by voters during the current general election. If approved, the collection will continue, starting in 2014. The tax is expected to raise approximately $700,000 dollars, which is about 80 percent of the budget for the communications center. The rest of the budget comes from a 28 cent user fee for cell phones and from grant funding. “Public safety is our first concern and we consider this money very well spent

in the public interest”, said Brown County Commission President Ralph Jennings. The sales tax was renewed by wide margins in 1998, 2002 and 2007. Should voters choose not to renew the sales tax, County Commissioner Bill Geschwind said that hard choices would have to be made within the county budget to maintain the communications center. “We have to have a 911 system”, said Geschwind. “We would have to fund it with money we have available, which would lead to very tough choices.” Communications Center Director Rob Wilson said that he is proud of his full time staff of 14 and of the service they provide to

our district is rated Excellent,” Burrows told board members at the October 15 meeting. “This is movement in the right direction and we are extremely proud of our staff, our administration and our community. This community stands behind their schools and gives us the support we need in order to fly that ‘Excellent’ banner in front of the schools.” Burrows added that the next and final rating is one of “Excellent with Distinction,” and he stated that he knows achieving that highest rating is just around the corner. Burrows also told the board that a special informational meeting regarding the upcoming school levy will be held on Thursday, October 25. “We’ll be giving away a free spaghetti dinner, garlic

bread and a salad that night,” Burrows said. “This is an attempt to educate our taxpayers on this levy that will be on the ballot and answer any questions they might have.” He said the meeting is not slanted in any way, just a forum to allow the public an opportunity to voice their opinions and ask questions which may have come up in the past several months. Burrows added that a live facebook chat will also be held on Wednesday, October 24 from 5 to 7 p.m. and everyone is welcome to join in the conversation about the levy.

Sardinia Council moves forward on extending sewer lines across 32 Members of the Sardinia Village Council met in regular session on Monday, October 8, and opened the meeting with a discussion on the village’s plans to extend its sewer lines across State

Leaf pick-up, Trick or Treat scheduled in Mt. Orab Mt. Orab Mayor Bruce Lunsford has announced that the first village leaf pick up will be on Monday, October 22 and each Monday there after until they have all been picked up. Leaves should be raked to the edge of yards next to the road. Leaves can also be raked to the edge of a driveway to be picked up. Lunsford would also like to remind parents of Trick-or-Treaters that it is important to park their car and walk with children rather than drive along with them. Trick-or-Treat night in Mt. Orab is Wednesday, October 31 from 6 to 7:30 p.m.

Highway 32. Upon review of the financial report, council questioned a payment of $6,700 to an engineering firm. Mayor Todd Bumbalough explained that the money went for preliminary engineering cost for the new sewer line. “Those funds are for about 10 different things that have to be achieved before we can proceed with the project,” Bumbalough said. “I know they are planning on getting aerial view photos of the sight and drawing up the initial plans. “The way I see it, we have two options on how to pay for this project. I’ve been working with Kurtis Strickland, (field agent for Rural Community Assistance Program RCAP), on the possibility of getting a 1% interest loan. The other option would be to obtain letters from potential businesses that might be interested in building, and could potentially bring more job opportunities to our area which would allow us to apply for grant money for the project.” Bumbalough said he has already put out feelers for the endorsement letters and hopes to hear back by the end of the month. Also during the meeting a Sardinia resident who owns property between lot 5 and lot 6 in the village asked council to consider opening

or closing the alley next to her property. She explained to council that what ever they decided to do would be okay with her as long as something could be done. She stated that neighbors park cars in the alley which makes it difficult for the propane truck to deliver to her home. “I know the alley you’re talking about,” Bumbalough stated. “The problem with closing the alley is, that there is a small piece of property back there and that alley is the only access to it. Right now that isn’t an issue, but if that property sells and someone wants to build a home back there, then we have a problem.” Bumbalough went on to explain that the village would monitor the alley to make sure it is kept clean and easily accessible so that the propane delivery truck can get through. In other business, Sardinia Fire Chief Chris Shumacher reported that fire runs were down the past month and that he was continuing his work to update his department’s radios. He said the ladder truck had to be repaired and he had also been having some battery issues. Police Chief Jim Lewis had invited all of his officers

to attend at least one council meeting to meet its members. At least four of his officers were in attendance of the meeting. Tim Mock, village administrator, reported that although progress on the new skate park was hard to see it was ongoing. “At first I was told that the village would have to bid out work on the skate park,” Mock explained, “then I was told we could just get estimates for the job. Now, just last week I was told again that we had to bid it out.” Mock continued “Fortunately we have the option to request a six-month extension on the project, so I’ve decided to go ahead and request it. We did get the grant money so we expect to have the blacktop and the sidewalks in the next 30 to 60 days.” Bumbalough told council that he had received a phone call from Joe Purdy of Eagle Township and was told that the trustees had opted out of joining the newly formed fire district and asked to contract with the Village of Sardinia. Following an executive session council voted to transfer funds into the police fund, within the budget, as an emergency.

Letters to the Editor

School levies help pay for progress Dear Editor and Community Members, I am the Treasurer of Monroe Local School District but I raised my children here and continue to live in Mt. Orab. Monroe LSD is in Fiscal Emergency, because they found out too late that they were out of money. This past spring, the District was forced to borrow 2.2 million from the State to keep the doors open. Now, there is a 7.05 mill levy on the ballot for November 6. It was tragic that they did not find out their situation until it was too late. They now are suing the former treasurer. Now there is a Commission appointed by the State that oversees all financial decisions. It is no longer locally controlled,

and if the levy fails, they will have to explore moving to state minimums. In addition, the next levy will have to be for more mills, to dig themselves out of the hole that is created from borrowing from the State. There will be more borrowing, and the State demands it be paid back. Here we have Western Brown that has a Board and Administrators who are telling us that in order to continue programs, the voters need to pass a 5 mill levy. As a school insider, I know that WB has done all they could do to contain costs. Back in the mid to late 1990's, we built a beautiful school mostly with money from the State. I have heard that our community received more

lar. I have seen it over and over. Bottom line is - if they reach the point of having to borrow from the State, the mills will go up. WB will have no choice but to ask for more mills with each levy failure. This is evident with Little Miami School District. I know I may see things differently, but the reality is the State is not going to educate our children, and it is the only tax that is totally invested in our community, in the legacy we give to our children, and in the quality of life right here. It is a small price to pay. Holly J. Cahall, CPA Treasurer Monroe Local School District

about local, state and national candidates before you make your decisions. An uninformed vote serves no one. Don’t allow yourself to be swayed by political commercials that may or may not be based in reality. On a national level, there are two very different political philosophies fighting for your support.

Drunk driving, you can’t hide behind that Halloween costume The leaves are changing color and falling down, the temperatures are dipping, and the smell of late autumn is in the air. And BOO!!! It’s almost that time of year when creepy and scary costumed “creatures” will roam our streets (on foot and in motor vehicles) to celebrate Halloween. Halloween is not just for kids anymore, and many ghosts and goblins in Brown County are more likely to be adults heading out to bars, restaurants, and private homes to party. And most likely several folks will celebrate with alcoholic beverages. The Brown County Safe Communities Coalition reminds everyone to keep the party off the road, because local law officials will

What Do You Think? Do you believe watching the televised presidential debates could sway someone's vote?

Remembering gallon of gas for $1.85 Dear Editor, With the presidential election just weeks away, it seems like many people are still undecided about whom to vote for. Many believe there is not much difference between Mitt Romney and Barack Obama. However, I can give two examples of the vast difference between these two candidates. A vote for Romney would mean a big decrease in gas and electric costs, while a vote for Obama would mean a continued rise in the cost of gas and electricity. Since Obama became president, the price of a gallon of gas has soared

from $1.85 at the beginning of his term, to more than $3.00 per gallon, and has been close to $4.00 during most of his term. If you vote for Obama, you will never see gas go below three dollars a gallon again. He has opposed any new drilling because he has this vision that cars should be powered by electricity, or people should just use mass transportation. He states that drilling for oil and gas has increased during his presidency, but that has only occurred on private lands, which he has nothing to do with. He has prevented any new drilling on public lands that contain significant amounts of gas

money from the State for a new campus than any other community. Before the new building, my children were sitting on top of desks out in trailers, trying to learn history, squashed in like sardines. We were desperate for better facilities. How proud we were when it was opened. A number of years back, I remember the WB Treasurer telling me that "utility costs are killing me". I was well aware of how operating costs had grown. The District has over 3000 students, and it takes money to support them. To my surprise, there has never been a request for more money until now. Over the years, they have taken many steps to squeeze as much as they could out of every tax dol-

and oil. Obama has said he prefers a gradual increase of fuel costs and that he has no problem seeing it rise to four to five dollars a gallon. His own Secretary of Energy said he could see it rising to eight to ten dollars a gallon in order to compete with alternative sources of energy. Mitt Romney, on the other hand, would encourage drilling on public lands. The United States has vast amounts of oil and gas. He would allow drilling in places like Alaska, the Gulf of Mexico, the Rocky Mountains, and wherever possible without damaging the environment. Under President Romney, we could see a gallon of gas go below $2.00 a gallon once again. Also, the cost of groceries would decrease because of lower transportation costs from cheaper fuel. A second reason to vote for Romney is because of the higher cost of electricity during the past four years. Most of the electricity we use in Ohio and our neighboring states comes from coal. However, Obama hates coal as much as he hates gas and oil. He wants to replace it with solar and wind energy. Solar and wind energy sound good in theory, but we are not quite ready for that change. Obama believes if we increase the price of coal-produced electricity, it will be more competitive with solar and wind energy. To reach that

goal, he has used the Environmental Protection Agency to place a multitude of regulations on coal companies, so much so that it has caused many coalproducing companies in our region to close during the past four years. Decreasing the supply of coal in Ohio will cause an increase in price. Romney, in contrast, would not interfere with coal-producing states like Ohio, Kentucky, and West Virginia that wish to tap into their vast supplies of clean coal. He would eliminate the regulations created by Obama so that we could once again have cheaper electricity by lowering the high cost of coal. So there you have it – two big reasons to vote for Romney over Obama. On November 6, we could vote for Obama and pay for expensive gas and electricity, or we could vote for Romney and once again pay less than $2.00 a gallon for gas, while seeing our heating bills decrease by 50% or more. The choice is clear. Vote for Mitt Romney! I also urge everyone to vote for Josh Mandel for United States Senator. Our present senator for Ohio, Sherrod Brown, has always supported Obama’s energy policies. Mitt Romney will need the support of Congress to achieve his energy policies, and Josh Mandel would offer that support. Barry Hauser Ripley

OPINION Letters to the Editor

Is offending offenders offensive? Dear Editor, I was recently cornered by an individual who proceeded to tell me how my world view has been somewhat skewed due to my taste for ‘reactionary politics’ and a more ‘conspiratorial bent’ on world history. I was also lectured on the idea that my JudeoChristian faith lends itself to intolerance and bigotry and that my politically incorrect ways will become the ultimate ruin of any credibility I may posess. To this I loudly and proudly exclaim “Thank God!” It is not my intention to be politically correct and my credibility has never been based on how others feel about me personally, my credibility is based on whether or not I can live with myself as I am. other

people come and go, like the stench of a skunk in the backyard. Why should I spend an overly great deal of effort worrying about what other people think? My views tend to be more contrary to the commonly held views of the community by the simple nature of what they are: different. I’m not going to change that merely to get along with someone who can’t accept who I am, as I am. That’s just goofy! Tolerance is a two-way street. I’m open to dialogue with anyone. But dialogue isa give and take, not a one-sided conversation. And, even if I don’t agree with another person’s position, I can hear them and understand the position they hold. Tolerance is about respect - it’s not about agreeing on every-

thing. this idea of certain ones having to completely abandon what they think and believe simply to connect with another person, or group of people, is completely off the wall. (My wife and I share the same bed, but that isn’t based on our ability to see everything eye to eye.) One of my closest fishing buddies is a ‘socialist’ in his political philosophy. Yes, you heard me, a socialist. He’s a writer and a professor, a poet, a political activist, a real left-winger from the word ‘go’. When we wade a trout stream together or troll for salmon off the back of a boat, don’t ever think that we don’t debate the issues with one another, we have one good time disagreeing with each other! But I love the guy, as wrong as he might be, I

love and respect him and I’d do anything in the world for him and I’m still free to disagree with him. This is called ‘give and take’. (He just tells all his socialist associates that I’m a mental case newly released from an asylum.) Let’s freely debate the issues, if they exist, and to hell with trying to come to some agreement about everything, it won’t happen. But, if we are honest and open, we may begin to see a few holes in our individual views and ideologies that had been previously overlooked. The exchange of views in a good discussion or debate leaves us open to this possibility. Doesn’t that make much more sense than trying to cram everybody into one box? Rev. Sam Talley

DeClaire is the choice for Recorder Dear Editor, Honesty, integrity, humility, and character is a public servant named Amy Jo DeClaire. She has served Brown County as Recorder for over four years. Amy has proven herself over and over in her business experience, office management, and a heart to serve the people of Brown County. Her strong family ties have given her insight and support in areas of development of record keeping skills. Her educational background gives her ex-

pertise in computer programs that have placed the Recorder’s office in a much broader area of availability for the public. She has managed the office within the restrictions of the County’s tight budgets, and still accomplished many of her goals. She is a giving person, making sure the needs of the employees are met. Amy has created a Recorder’s Manual with all the information concerning daily operations of the office, completely explained in a format easily

understood. She spent many hours of her own time producing this quality manual. As employees, who have been her staff since the beginning, we are blessed to work with her. She has provided us a quality atmosphere to daily serve the public. She is a woman of integrity who always puts people first. Her servant’s heart shows in her caring. If she can solve a problem, she will go the extra mile to help. Knowledge, dependabil-

ity, sincerity, commitment and readiness all are qualities of a good leader. Amy Jo DeClaire is all that. We, her employees ask you to vote for Amy Jo DeClaire and keep the Recorder’s Office a place of integrity where the public can know their records are properly cared for, and their questions will be answered, and their needs met. Thank you for voting. Paula Scott, Chief Deputy Cindy Klein, Deputy Pamela Layman, Deputy

Nothing wrong with redistribution Dear Editor, Good grief wake up people! Here it is again. President Bill Clinton left office with a surplus. President Bush, that's W, gets in and says. OK! We can afford a tax cut. Then we have two wars, not paid for. Then medicare prescription benefit. Again not paid for. Then we fell into the worst recession since the great depression. We bailed out the auto industry. A GOOD THING! And remember Ohio has a huge stake in the auto industry. Eighty of our eighty eight counties has some form of business in the auto industry. Now I would like to thank Mr. Smith for bringing up Saul Alinsky. After looking him up I found that he was a man that I could like to know more about. Here is some of what I found. He is considered the founder of community organizing. He had a reputation as being a tough-talking, street-smart man who helped poor and working-class Americans

have voice in confrontations with politicians and corporations. Recently the Republican Party and its right-wing echo chamber are trying to make Alinsky, who died in 1972, famous all over again linking him to President Obama. You might not get Mitt Romney to speak of him because he was for the poor and middle class. But Mitt's father met with Alinsky in 1967 to ask his advice concerning that summer's Detroit riots. George Romney is said to have said "It seems to me that we are always talking to the same people. Maybe the time has come to hear new voices." Republican strategists count on the fact that most Americans have never heard of Alinsky. They make him out to be a mysterious figure with a vaguely foreign and Jewish sounding name, whom they describe as a radical and a socialist. He helped organize meat packing unions. He and Joseph Meegan gained the confidence of Chicago's

Catholic Bishop Bernard Sheil, who founded the Catholic Youth Organization (CYO.) Bishop Sheil helped to recruit priests and parish leaders to overcome the tensions between Catholics from different ethnic backgrounds. As for Mr. Smith, I would like to suggest to him to go to cbo.gov/publication/43472 he then will see that instead of going up in the 11 year period their is a reduction of $84 billion for the (ACA) Obamacare. Now for redistribution, Rev. Talley saw a movie, I suppose the one that is aimed at the wildeyed conservatives, as was the one aimed at the Islamists it did the same with the conservatives provoking hatred and the lack of commonsense. Now back to redistribution. According to historians and economists, looking at our progressive tax system which has been redistributing wealth for a 100 years, as well as many other policies, some which go back to before our na-

tion's founding. A progressive tax system is essentially by definition redistributive. The U.S. system at least if you look at the official rates, has been more redistributive in the past than it is now, with the top federal income tax rate of 35%. Looking back at some Republican Presidents the top tax rate was over 50%, under Warren Harding over 60%, under Herbert Hoover, 90% for Dwight Eisenhower, 70% and higher for Nixon's entire term, and 70% under Gerald Ford. Now once the money gets into the federal treasury, it gets redistributed. For example New Mexico got $2.03 for every dollar it sent to Washington, while New Jersey got just 61 cents. Now remember we need to support President Obama, Sherrod Brown, and William Smith lets get something done in Washington. Social Security, Democrats, Medicare, Democrats, Affordable Health Care, Democrats! Danny Books Sr.

The Georgetown Post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol began a safety belt enforcement effort in Adams and Brown Counties on October 18. The effort will continue through October 31 and focus on highly traveled roadways, as well as rural routes. The goal of the initiative is to reduce traffic fatalities, re-emphasize the required use of safety belts, and increase voluntary compliance. The target area will change daily to increase visibility and reduce traffic familiarization. Too often, excuses are made for not wearing a seatbelt: “I was just going to the store”, “It rubs my neck” and, “I just stopped to get gas and forgot to put it on”. There simply is no good excuse for failing to properly secure yourself or a child. Please visit http://statepatrol.ohio.gov/d oc/myths_facts.pdf for myths regarding safety belt usage. Regular seat belt use is the single most effective way to protect people and reduce fatalities in motor vehicle crashes. Research

Lieutenant Randy MceLfResh has shown that when lap/shoulder belts are used properly, the risk of fatal injury to front seat passenger car occupant is reduced by 45 percent, and the risk of moderate-to-critical injury is reduced by 50 percent. According to Ohio’s 2011 Observational Seat Belt Survey, 84.12 percent of motorists were found to be in compliance with Ohio’s safety belt law. This is a significant increase from the 72.2 percent observed in 2002. While these rates have steadily increased, far too many Ohioans still do not buckle up. Ohio's safety belt law remains a secondary violation, however troopers continue zero tolerance enforcement when motorists are stopped for other violations and are found not be wearing their belt.

Drunk driving: you can’t hide behind that Halloween costume CONTINUED FROM PAGE 4 consequences. Drunk drivers face jail time, the loss of their drivers’ licenses, higher auto insurance rates, and dozens of other unanticipated costs ranging from attorney’s fees, court costs, car towing and repairs, and lost wages due to time off from work. And a DUI conviction can even lead to problems with getting a good job. Nighttime is an especially dangerous time to be on the road, but Halloween night is often one of the deadliest nights of the year due to the high number of drunk drivers on the road. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 4 out of every 10 highway deaths across the nation on Halloween night (6 p.m. Oct. 29 to 5:59 a.m. Nov. 1) in 2010 involved a driver or a motorcycle rider with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08 or higher, which is illegal in every state. In Ohio for the same time period, we had three deaths and 128 injuries from motor vehicle crashes which involved alcohol use. So you can see that the safety of each and every one of us is threatened when party goers don’t plan ahead and end up driving drunk. The Brown County Safe Communities Coalition recommends these simple tips for a safe Halloween: • Plan a safe way home before the party begins. • Before drinking, appoint a sober driver. And please remember that

cmYK

Safety belt compliance effort, education and enforcement are critical to increased safety

Buzzed Driving IS Drunk Driving. • If you’re impaired, use a taxi or call a sober friend or family member. • If you happen to see a drunk driver on the road, don’t hesitate to contact your local police department or the Ohio State Patrol. • And please don’t forget-- Friends Don’t Let Friends Drive Drunk. If you know someone who is about to drive or ride while impaired, take away his or her keys and help that person to make other arrangements to safely get to where he or she is going. If you think that a Halloween costume will hide your choice to drink and drive drunk, think again. No costume is clever enough to hide drunk drivers from the Ohio State Patrol. Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over! For more information on impaired driving, please visit the website www.TrafficSafetyMarketing.gov .

Dear Editor, I am a retired senior who has lived in Hamersville for 88 years and in November I intend to vote yes for the Western Brown School Levy. Schools are the future of our community and our nation. I worked at the Hamersville School for 48 years and I can speak about the excellent education children get in the Western Brown School District. I want to protect our schools from any further cuts that will be required by the loss in state funding. As a Veteran, I know that a quality education is the foundation a child needs to become a productive member of society. Western Brown provides that. If they need to keep cutting positions and programs, the quality of education I know the children get now will suffer and that

is something we all need to be concerned about. I, like many others, do not have children in the school system and I am on a fixed income. I do not see this as an issue. Whether they are my children or my neighbor’s children, they are the future of our community and country. I feel those children deserve the opportunities that others gave to me when I was in school. Western Brown Schools has never asked for money, unlike many of the other school districts around us, so if they are asking now, they need it. I see investing in our schools as a wise investment for our future. I encourage other seniors, like me, go out on November 6th and support the Western Brown School Levy for our community and our children’s futures. Leola Gray

Imagine what Southern Ohio was like 225 years ago. All was wilderness in 1787. There were no cities or townships. The only villages were inhabited by American Indians. On October 5, 1787, the Continental Congress of the United States appointed Arthur St. Clair the first governor of the Northwest Territory. His job was to implement the Northwest Ordinance, which had been adopted by Congress that July 13. The ordinance established a system of government that made the territory north and west of the Ohio River the first commonwealth in the world to recognize liberty and justice for all. In addition to prohibiting slavery, the Northwest Ordinance guaranteed religious freedom and civil rights throughout the territory. This federal mandate preceded by several years the Bill of Rights (the first 10

Jean Schmidt Amendments to the U.S. Constitution). On April 7, 1788, within a year of the adoption of the Northwest Ordinance, 48 men traveling down the Ohio River on five boats landed at what would become the city of Marietta. About 70 Delaware Indians were camped there when the white settlers arrived. Marietta was the first seat of the territorial government. Governor St. Clair arrived by riverboat on July 9, 1788, and he presided over a ceremony on July 15 that formally established the Northwest Territory. Encompassing 265,878 square miles, the Northwest Territory included the future states of Ohio, Indiana, Illi-

nois, Wisconsin, Michigan, and part of Minnesota. Governor St. Clair decided to move the seat of the territorial government to Losantiville, a town he renamed Cincinnati on January 4, 1790. Governor St. Clair, who had been president of the Continental Congress and a brigadier general in the Revolutionary War, served as commander in chief of all U.S. troops and militiamen in the Northwest Territory. An estimated 45,000 Indians lived in the Northwest Territory, and St. Clair was called upon by Congress to put down uprisings. On November 4, 1791, about 1,400 Army troops and militiamen were defeated by Miami Chief Little Turtle and an estimated 1,000 of his warriors at the Battle of the Wabash. It is considered the greatest military victory ever for American Indians. About 900 of St. Clair’s men were killed or

wounded. “St. Clair’s Defeat” was the subject of America’s first congressional inquiry. He was exonerated and remained governor. The first delegate of the Northwest Territory to the U.S. House of Representatives was William Henry Harrison of Hamilton County. He served from March 4, 1799, to May 14, 1800 (about 40 years before becoming the first Ohioan elected president of the United States). Harrison was the son-inlaw of John Cleves Symmes, a former New Jersey delegate to the Continental Congress who was selected on February 19, 1788, as one of three federal judges to serve the Northwest Territory. Symmes Township in Hamilton County, which is part of what is now Ohio’s Second Congressional District, is named for him. Symmes was a partner in CONTINUED ON PAGE 22

E-books gain popularity at local libraries BY Martha B. Jacob The Brown County Press More and more people across the country are returning to public libraries as they learn about the new service of e-books which is now available. According to Union Township Public Library aide Jeremiah Costa of the Union Township Public Library, ebook service is growing in popularity. The Union Township Public Library includes Aberdeen, Ripley and Russellville. Costa explained that the new e-books are electronic books that can be easily downloaded in to a Kindle, a Nook and most cell phones and other electronic devices “A lot of these electronic books have been around for quite a while,” Costa said, “they have been available for all e-readers, cell phones, Nook and Barnes and Noble. But a lot of people still don’t realize they are available at their nearest library. Here at the Aberdeen Library e-books can be found on www.ripleylibrary.com. At that website go to the ‘resources’ file, then to the Ohio Web Library for an entire list of what we offer.” Costa said the Ohio EBook project site can be located at the Ohio Web Library which allows li-

brary card holders to access an online library of digital media. Visitors to the site can check out e-books, audio books, music, video content, MP3 and WMA audio books, iPad compatible audio books and music. “We have all the most recent hardware here at the library to download any electronic book program, into any device, other than some of the new cell phones which require a special app,” he said, “And one big advantage is the e-book doesn’t have to be returned. After about three weeks the book automatically erases itself from your device.” Costa continued, “Ebooks are also becoming more and more popular in schools. I understand that Mason Schools students are now using iPads. Their textbooks are on their iPads. This is definitely the future for students.” Costa said that most books available at the library are also available through e-books or can be obtained upon request. “It’s exciting the way ebooks are catching on,” he added, “And we have a lot of children’s books available too, complete with pictures. They open up a whole new world for children and parents.” Costa invites everyone to visit their nearest library and download a book.

Absentee votes keep rolling in CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 reduces stress on the poll workers”, Jones said. Jones said that absentee voters place their ballots in a sealed envelope, even if they vote at the Board of Elections office. Those envelopes are then placed in the proper precinct box, which is kept locked until election day. “On election day, the envelopes are opened by a team of Republicans and Democrats working together”, Jones said. “The envelopes are opened upside down so the names of the voters are not seen, and then the ballots are removed to be counted.” Jones also said steps are

taken to prevent the possibility of voting twice. “The act of filling out the request for an absentee ballot puts a voter in a separate pool”, Jones said. “If a voter asks for an absentee ballot, doesn’t return one, and then tries to vote at a precinct on election day, that voter will have to cast a provisional ballot until the situation is investigated and resolved”, Jones said. Provisional ballots are used whenever there is a question about the proper voting precinct of a voter or other questions. Those ballots are evaluated and counted separately ten days after election day. Voters who wish to cast an absentee ballot can do so

right up until election day. The United States Supreme Court recently refused to hear an appeal from Ohio Secretary of State John Husted which sought to limit voting hours on the final weekend before election day, so the schedule remains as follows. For the weeks of October 22-26 and October 29-November 2, the Board of Elections is open from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.. Voters may also vote at the Board of Elections at 800 Mt.

Plate readers help fight crime CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 that’s protecting and serving the public.” So what happens to all the data gathered by the cars? It goes into what is called the BOSS system, which is maintained by the Cincinnati Police Department. All license plate readers participating in the system contribute to the data base. Assistant Georgetown Police Chief Robert Freeland uses the unit in his cruiser. He used an example of how the data collected can help law enforcement. “We recently arrested a woman on drug charges. By entering her license plate into the BOSS system, we were able to determine that she traveled to Cincinnati on a regular basis and where she went. That information was shared with the Cincinnati Police Department which is currently investigating to see if other drug crimes are being committed in those areas.” Heather Whitten is the

Senior Computer Programmer/Analyst for the Cincinnati Police Department who administers the BOSS system. She said the example used by Freeland is one use that the program can perform, but there are others as well. “We have also used the information gathered by the system to prove the innocence of people by establishing where they were at the time a crime was committed elsewhere”, Whitten said. She acknowledged that some people will use the term “big brother” to describe the technology, but said “The system is only gathering information that is observable on the street. it does not invade anyone’s privacy.” Freeland added that there are severe penalties for law enforcement members who misuse the LEADS system or other information gathered by law enforcement for personal use.

Pictures of the license plates and the cars they are associated with are fed into a laptop in the police cruiser.

“People have lost their jobs or faced charges for misusing the information we have access to”, Freeland said. “Privacy is taken very seriously.”

Dreadland Haunted Woods terrifying locals with scary content CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 one of the group has a bag quickly placed over their heads, then stuffed into a coffin which is then locked. The rest of the group have a minute and a half to find the key needed to unlock the coffin. There are at least five keys hidden randomly in the area in unusual and disgusting places, one of which will open the lock to the coffin. “If its fake props and movie characters in a haunted house that you're looking for,” continued Roquet, “then the Dreadzone is not what you’re looking for. There are offensive and graphic scenes not suitable for kids through-out the entire attraction. Ticket holders must be 16 or older to enter.” The Ohio Valley Haunts Organization (OVH) visited the attraction and has rated it a 9 out of a possible 10 points in value for your money. The OVH has rated over 100 sites in the TriState area. “Visitors to Dreadland Haunted Woods will experience things they’ve never experienced before,” he added. “They will experience intense audio, lighting like strobe lights and other many other special effects. There are times where there is only limited, to no visibility in the woods at all. The atmosphere in the woods is extreme, and not, is seriously not, for everyone.” Roquet warned that people who suffer from asthma, heart conditions, seizures, or are pregnant should not enter Dreadland, and some people will be turned away. He added that this attract is a full haunting and includes touching. He asked that visitors keep in mind that this event is for fun and actors will not hurt anyone

Whitten said the information gathered by the BOSS system is stored for one year before being deleted. “We don’t want to hold onto that information any longer than necessary”, Whitten said. The system consists of three to four cameras on each police unit pointed in separate directions. It costs approximately 16 thousand dollars per unit, with the money coming from a grant from the Department of Homeland Security.

jected to overspend $755,000 and the third year the projection is we will overspend $845,000. “So we’re still in a downhill spiral. Part of this is because our property taxes are going down. I talked to Doug Green (Brown County Auditor) and he hasn’t received the tax rate yet for this year so he still doesn’t know how much the property tax will change.” Dunlap also told the board that state revenue will be based, for the next four years, on this year’s numbers. Burrows added that he understood it could be as late as March 2013 before the district would find out what could be expected from the state. Later in the meeting, board member Mike Kirk, chair for the finance committee told the board that his committee had met on October 9 to discuss possible future cuts that might have to be made if the levy doesn’t pass in November. “We feel like we need to get a plan in place now,” Kirk said. “We are facing some very difficult decisions in the very near future. Tough times require tough decisions.” In other business, Western Brown FFA members, Alisha Damon, president of the FFA Chapter and member Brooke Spitznagel, accompanied by student teacher Kara Conrad, updated the board members on all the recent activities their chapter had been in-

volved in. Burrows had also invited each of the four district principal’s to pick at least two specific things they planned to focus on in their building in the upcoming year. Marty Paeltz, principal of Mt. Orab Elementary School told the board that his focus this year would be on common assessments on a viable curriculum, working with students not doing as well with intervention programs and also, enrichment programs, like writing, in which students don’t need intervention. Middle School Principal Sabrina Armstrong said that she hoped to focus on writing and more time on math, shifting teachers around taking advantage of their skills, and addressing the problem of bullying, establishing groups of 12 students who would have a ‘safe person’ who they could confide in. Heather Cooper, principal of Western Brown High School said her school would be focusing on science scores and writing abilities. She added that twitter and blogging accounts set up within the school have been very successful in communicating with students. Peggy McKinney principal at Hamersville Elementary School told the board that student achievement in fifth and eighth grade math and science was a priority for teachers. She also discussed the development of student leadership teams.

He did add that the district was set to receive approximately $20,000 or more from the Ohio casinos. Kendall reported that the district was up by 24 students this year over last year which, he said, is certainly going in the right direction. Regarding expenses in the 5-year forecast, Kendall reported that salaries received a zero percent increase across the board. “As far as the forecast we had in place,” Kendall said,

“It hasn’t changed all that much. In 2013 we’re looking at a $202,000 reduction, in 2014 we’re looking at a $10,000 reduction, a $115,000 reduction in 2015 and a $309,000 reduction in 2016.” Board President Martin Yockey stated that considering the state of the economy and the districts actual cash balance, the picture is not near as bad as they had expected it to be, and that Mr. Kendall had done a good job when he figured the 5-year forecast. The board approved the 5year forecast. Susan Paeltz, principal of Russellville Elementary reported to the board that her school had a very successful carnival and raised over $3,000 which will be used on students. She also discussed her school’s book fair, which will also be available to parents online for a week following the fair. Paeltz also shared some information with the board regarding the third grade reading guarantee. “I guess this is not so bad after all,” Paeltz began, “The only troubling thing I see as I look at this is that we have 93 students who are not on track in that grade span (K through 3) and that equates to 93 parent meetings. “We have to have a plan that we share with the parents to get their input.” Principal Mike Bick, of Sardinia Elementary, told the board that he too had come concerns regarding why his numbers were so different from Mrs. Paeltz’s numbers. He said he would look into it further and report back to the board. Bick said that his school would also be having a book fair and that the Christmas programs were set for December 17 and 18.

husband and wife duo Dr. Philip Kelch and Dr. Michelle santangelo took over Clough Pike Veterinary Clinic after Dr. David Fox retired last month.

Sardinia native buys veterinary clinic in Clermont BY Kristin Bednarski The Brown County Press Clough Pike Veterinary Clinic in Clermont County’s Batavia changed ownership in September after Dr. David Fox retired after many years serving the community. Dr. Philip Kelch and Dr. Michelle Santangelo purchased the clinic from Fox and have begun operating the clinic with many of the existing staff members and clients. “It is exciting,” Kelch said about having their own clinic. Both Kelch and Santangelo graduated from The Ohio State University where they earned their degrees in veterinary medicine. The couple met after graduating while they were working at a clinic and have spent the past few years working at a mixed animal clinic in Sugar Creek, Ohio. “We had been looking for a clinic to buy for several years,” Santangelo said. Kelch, who is from Brown County, said they heard that Dr. Fox was looking for a buyer. He said he loved the area and decided to contact Fox about the clinic. “We contacted him about six months ago and worked out the details from there,” Kelch said.

He said their first day at the clinic was Sept. 15, and since then, they have been getting used to running a business, getting to know staff and clients. “Practicing medicine is the easy part,” Santangelo said about owning their first clinic. Kelch said existing staff members have been helpful getting them acquainted with the new office as well as the clients, and they are looking forward to getting to know all of the animals. “We think of their pets as our pets,” Kelch said. Kelch and Santangelo, who have a slew of pets themselves, including four goats, a sheep, four dogs, five cats and chickens, said they care for clients' animals like they would their own. “What we recommend for our pets, we recommend for their pets,” Kelch said. They said much of the services at the clinic will remain the same, however they will provide care for more exotic small animals including guinea pigs, hamsters and rabbits, and will also offer services they specialize in including internal medicine, nutrition and behavioral therapy.

Each year the Locust Ridge Nursing Home residents are invited to attend the Brown County Fair on Senior Citizens day which was September 27, 2012. Tom Turner, manages SCD, using high school student volunteers to push wheelchair occupants to visit all animals and agricultural exhibits; however this year the rain and windy weather prevented LRNH residents to attend the SCD event. To avoid residents major disappointment LRNH activities director decided to take residents on Friday if the weather permitted. Hospice of Hope helped with a contribution. Activity Director Alisa Carrington was elated and very proud to accept the contribution. Alisa is aware of the $12.001 a day on every licensed bed “Bed Tax” the Governor and Senate have levied on skilled nursing homes. Taxes are not subject to referendum (subject to vote of the people) and the bed tax impact on nursing home is horrendous! The residents and employees of LRNH want to thank the volunteers, the Fair Board and Hospice of Hope for the enjoyable day and the reflection of a past life in a rural area. 1 The yearly bed tax on a 100 bed nursing home is $438,000.00.

Best performance of the year helps warriors to sectional title BY Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press The Eastern boys soccer team may just now be beginning to play its best soccer of the season and it couldn’t come at a better time. Just five days after beating Lynchburg-Clay to end the regular season, the Warriors traveled back to Highland County once again on Wednesday night and beat the Mustangs 6-2 to capture a Southeast District Division III sectional title. “It was one of our better games,” Eastern coach Reggie Fender said by phone Wednesday night. “Played pretty close to 80 minutes tonight. (I’m) real happy. “It was a really good team effort.” The Warriors were consistently attacking the Mustangs goal on Wednesday night but early on they couldn’t get much to go. In the first half alone the Warriors put 17 shots on frame. Late in the half, however, the Warriors knocked home two goals. It was just the start of what was to come. The visitors found net four more times in the second half as they got a little more patient. “In the second half we got some really good runs,” Fender said. “We finished well.” Chase Lawson led the way with three goals while Landan Hauke chipped in

with two. Jacob Handra had the other goal. The victory set up a rematch with another Southern Hills League foe, Peebles, on Monday, Oct. 27 at 5:00 p.m. in the district semi-finals. Eastern lost to Peebles 32 in the regular season and were itching to get another opportunity at the Indians. “I think the whole team felt like we had a real good shot to win and just didn’t,” Fender said of the first matchup with Peebles. “We wanted another shot and we got it.” To get another opportunity against the Mustangs, the Warriors beat Piketon 10-0 in their sectional opener on Monday night. Though a mismatch, Eastern did as much as they could to make sure this one

didn’t get too out of hand and to make sure they got the most important takeaway from the game -- a win. “We got a win,” Fender said afterwards. “That’s the important thing.” From the outset it was clear that visiting Piketon was out of its league. The Warriors played everyone on their bench liberally all night long but still built an 8-0 lead by halftime. Fender didn’t want it to get out of hand but Piketon simply didn’t have the resources to put up much of a fight. In fact, they were so down on numbers they had several girls starting on Monday night. “They’ve struggled all CONTINUED ON PAGE 16

Three top 10 runners lead Lady rockets to second straight shL title

B R O A D S H E E T

Heading into the Southern Hills League Cross Country Championships girls race last Saturday morning, the prevailing thought was that the league title was going to come down to three teams -Fayetteville, Ripley and Manchester. So it was no surprise to many in attendance that by the time the race was nearing its end on the Ripley High School track, it was still up in the air as to which of those three teams would be able to get just one runner to finish a little higher than her counterparts from the other two schools. When the dust finally settled and the results were read, it was the Lady Rockets who had come up victorious thanks in large part to being the only one of the three teams to secure three top 10 finishes. It was the Lady Rockets second straight SHL title. “I think everybody ran better than they did all year,” Fayetteville coach Jimmy Johnson said. “It wasn’t easy. One runner could have made a difference in the race.” The Lady Rockets took home the title by collecting 55 points, 12 points better

than than the second place team. Riley Claytor led the way for the Lady Rockets as she overcame a tough course to easily win the league race. She finished the course in 21:23, almost 20 seconds ahead of the second place finisher. The freshman, who finished 12th in the junior high league meet a year

ago, had no problems adjusting to the longer high school course or competition. “She got into it,” Johnson said of Claytor. “She had no problems with it. Her and (Samantha) Murphy ran well.” Murphy (23:08), a fellow freshman, finished in ninth place. Teammate Megan Eyre (22:56) finished right in

front of Murphy, in eighth place, to help lead the Lady Rockets to the title. It wasn’t an easy title to secure, however, as the host Lady Jays were right on the Lady Rockets tails. The Lady Jays finished in second with 67 points. Stacey White led the way for Ripley as she secured a seventh place finish in a time of 22:36. Teammate Brianna

Fayetteville freshman riley Claytor won the girls shL Championship race last saturday morning at ripley high school.

71 points. Though not able to compete as a team due to low numbers, the Eastern girls team did get a pair of strong individual performances. Freshman Rebekah Ellis finished fifth overall with a time of 22:12. Battling some soreness, Ellis didn’t run her best time but put up a good effort. “She still ran very good,” Eastern coach Tom Glasscock said. “(I’m) proud of how she did.” Joining her teammate Ellis -- as well as Fayetteville’s Claytor, Eyre and Murphy and Ripley’s White, Payne and Hawkins -- on the All-League team was Makayla Purdy. The sophomore ran a personal best 23:31. “She just put everything she had into that race,” Glasscock said. “She was outstanding.” In the boys league race Fairfield proved to be too much once again.

Early goal propels G-Men to sectional victory Big offensive, defensive

Logan Lucas dribbles the ball up the field for Georgetown in their sectional opener on Tuesday night.

Tough angle or not, Carrington drilled a perfect shot that found the top of the net and gave the G-Men a 1-0 lead with just 1:07 having run off the clock. “That was a very, very nice finish,” Malone said. “Steinman sent a great through ball just around the center defender’s head and Austin made a run to the right... (a) beautiful shot in the top corner.” Using their momentum from the early goal, the GMen controlled play early on and kept much of the possession. When the Cavaliers did began to find some possession about midway through the first half they didn’t find much space. Malone had his back line sit back and make the Cavaliers try to find things that weren’t going to be there. They never really got a good look on the goal the entire first half and the few chances they got in the second half were thwarted by strong play from keeper Banon Swartz and the GMen back line. “We tried, defensively, to sit on them and let them make a mistake instead of trying to steal the ball every

time they come down to attack our final third,” Malone said. “I just told them to sit -- (I’ve) got a lot of basketball players -- so I just told them to play manto-man defense.” While the Cavaliers weren’t finding many real good opportunities, the GMen were. Midway through the first

Beechmont Soccer Club Eagles are Fall Ball champions After a solid weekend of soccer on Sept. 29-30, the Beechmont Soccer Club Eagles were crowned 2012 TFA Fall Ball Champions. The girls finished the weekend with a record of 3-0-1, with 14 goals scored and only 4 goals allowed -- both division bests. Competing against teams from FOSC (Hamilton, OH), TFA (Lawrenceburg, IN) and Springbok (Paris, KY), the girls rode an emotional rollercoaster throughout the weekend. Scoring bursts, passing, communication, defense and goalkeeping were on display and the girls went into the finale undefeated at 2-0-1. In a rematch from pool play, in which they won 31, the Eagles were set to meet Springbok again in the finale.

Southern Hills League Fall Awards Night postponed The Southern Hills League Fall Awards Night that had been scheduled for Oct. 23 at Lynchburg-Clay High School has been cancelled due to conflicts with league soccer teams playing in district tournament games. The Awards Night will be rescheduled at a later date.

BY Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press There was an offensive explosion in the first half last Friday night at Western Brown’s Kibler Stadium. The Broncos and visiting Amelia combined for 57 first half points on the gridiron in lengthy first half of play. After halftime, however, it was a different story entirely. The defenses were on top of their games for the final two quarters as just one touchdown was scored between the two teams. Put it all together and what you get is the recipe for another Broncos victory. Each side of the ball came up big when needed as the Broncos picked up their eighth straight win to open the season by defeating a pesky, road-tested Barons team with a certain amount of ease, 44-20. “The biggest thing is that they started off the season slow and got better. The (hadn’t) lost a road game yet. That was their first road loss,” Western Brown coach Evan Dreyer said of win over the Barons on Monday morning. The Broncos wasted little time jumping out to a lead thanks to their explosive offense. A 50-yard scoring strike from quarterback Devyn Wood to receiver Jarred Haggerty got the Broncos on the board first and they added to their lead very quickly -- thanks to a David Ellis fumble recovery on the ensuing kickoff -- on a Wood short touchdown run. The Barons closed the Broncos early lead to three, 16-13, in the second quarter before the Broncos offense took flight once again. Two Wood touchdown passes to Pierce Moore quickly helped put some distance between the teams. Western Brown cornerback Justin Longbottom added an interception returned for a touchdown in the first half. “First half we scored a

lot of points,” Dreyer said. “Jarred Haggerty and Pierce Moore did a lot of great things where they got open and made some great catches. Our quarterback had enough time to make some plays. It was a big night for our O-line to sustain their pressure just for two or three seconds and let our receivers get open.” Despite the 17 point halftime cushion, Dreyer and the defensive coaches still felt like the defense could do a little bit more in slowing down Barons quarterback Gabe Weaver. Weaver had a strong first half but the Broncos defense stepped up its play in the final two quarters and ended up shutting down Weaver and the Barons offense. “We wanted to put some pressure on (Weaver). We did some different stunts and blitzes to try and confuse their line and make sure their quarterback didn’t have the time to sit back there and pick us apart,” Dreyer said. “I think that was key, especially in the third quarter with our offense not moving the ball as much as we thought it would. “Our defense made some really big plays.” The win kept the Broncos perfect record intact. Now sitting at 8-0, the Broncos are in position to meet the goals they set back in July -- win the Southern Buckeye Conference-American Division league title and make the playoffs. They currently sit in the eighth playoff spot in Division II, Region 8 standings with two weeks left in the season. Just eight teams from each region make the playoffs. It won’t be easy to finish the task, however, with trips to undefeated Batavia and one loss Norwood on the docket to end the season. “The last two games are huge because of playoff points and league titles,” Dreyer said. “Everything is sitting there so we gotta take one step at time and go from there.”

The Western Brown seventh and eighth grade football teams closed out the 2012 season on different notes. An 18-12 victory over Blanchester on Wednesday night capped a four game winning streak for the seventh grade team to end the season. They finished wit a 4-2 record. Wyatt Fischer was the go to man as he recorded all three Bronco touchdowns. Fischer ran for an 18-yard touchdown and caught a 30-yard touchdown pass from Seth Becker. Then, with less then 40 seconds remaining in the game and the score tied 1212, Fischer scooped up a Wildcat fumble and scampered 50 yards to seal the victory for the Broncos. Fischer also recovered another Wildcat fumble and had an interception. Ryan Osborne and Zach Stacy also each recorded a fumble recovery. The eighth grade team didn't fair as well while falling to the Wildcats 320. An undefeated Blanchester team jumped out to an early 14-0 first quarter lead and never looked back. They built 32-0 by half and the Broncos just couldn't find a way to stop the Wildcat offense before the game

was called at the start of the fourth quarter due to lightning. The Broncos finished the season 3-5. It was the second straight loss for the eighth grade team to end the season after they fell to Bethel, 20-14, on Oct. 10. They Broncos fell behind early and faced a 14-0 deficit by halftime. In the second half the Broncos scored 14 unanswered points that helped them tie the game with just under four minutes to play. The Broncos (3-4) slowed down the Tigers on two separate occasions and set up two fourth down plays but they were not able to stop Bethel's offense. With the Tigers facing a fourth down and two with just 26 seconds left to go in the game, a long Tigers pass into the endzone put the finishing touch on this one. Eli Crall (four yards) and Tim Harvey (10 yards) each scored a touchdown to account for The Broncos scoring. Defensive lineman Dawson Bowling led the defense with exceptional play as he recorded seven solo tackles while assisting on three others.

Coming into his team’s Southwest District Division III sectional opener against a skilled but unlucky Purcell Marian team on Tuesday night, Georgetown coach Neil Malone knew his team needed to get off to a quick start to put the pressure on the visiting Cavaliers. Scoring a goal one minute and seven seconds into the game probably wasn’t exactly what Malone had planned for but it certainly did what the coach had hoped for. Once the G-Men jumped ahead on Austin Carrington’s very early goal they never looked back in what was a very workmanlike 3-0 sectional win. “That’s what gotta do when you’re playing at home; you’ve got to put the team on the ropes,” Malone said after the match. “You got to get on their confidence level from the get-go and bury a couple down and maybe get their hopes down so hopefully they play from behind and we’ll play a little bit more confident.” The Cavaliers brought a more talented bunch to Georgetown on Tuesday than their 1-14-1 record might have indicated. They had lost six matches by two or fewer goals on a schedule that featured some of the better teams in the city. And their lone win was a 4-3 road triumph over the same Batavia team that the G-Men had battled to earn a share of a conference title. So it wasn’t surprising that Malone wanted his team to get off to a quick start against the Cavaliers. They did just that when Carrington drilled a tough shot. Georgetown teammate Jesse Steinman lofted a nice pass up the field and Carrington used his superb speed to get to the ball and get off a shot at a tough angle towards the goal.

half Carrington added his second goal on a break away opportunity to make it 2-0 Georgetown. And despite getting a lot of chances in the second half to add to their lead, the G-Men added just one more goal, on a Purcell deflection for an own goal, to wrap up the sectional win. The reward for winning their opening sectional game was a road trip to battle the No. 2 seed in the sectional -- and the team Malone voted No. 1 -Summit Country Day. Ranked in the Division III state top 10, Summit is as strong top to bottom as any team around. Malone knows his team has a challenge on its hands but said the only way his team can look as it is that they need to show up Oct. 18 and just play their game. No matter what happened against the Silver Knights, it will have been a successful season. “We accomplished what we wanted to accomplish,” the second-year coach said. “We wanted to win our league. We did that. We wanted to host a tournament game and wanted to win a tournament game. We did all three.”

BY Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press Football may not officially be a Southern Hills League sport seeing that just two of the league’s members actually have programs but every time Fayetteville and Manchester get together on the gridiron they are playing for more than just a win or a loss -- they’re playing for the chance to carry the mythical SHL banner. The first two meetings the teams have had since the Rockets became a varsity program in 2010 were close, back and forth affairs where pride was on the line. Pride was certainly on the line last Friday night when the two met in Fayetteville but the Rockets made certain this game wasn’t going to be close. A strong running attack and an aggressive defense set the tone early as the Rockets dominated their regional rival to the tune of 48-0 as they picked up their second straight win over the Greyhounds in what may have been the Rockets best performance over the past two years. “We went out and played our heart out,” Fayetteville senior Dave Watts said after the game. “We know that Manchester is more than just a win to us. It’s like a super bowl.” Playing in an emotionally charged rivalry game, the Rockets tried land the first haymaker.

The hosts eventually tied the game at three on a penalty kicks. At that point, however, the Rockets returned to their game and Christian Conner scored one his two goals to take the lead back for good for the Rockets. “We passed very well,” Attinger said. “We played fast like we wanted to.” Toby Lykins also scored two goals while Max Iles tallied the fifth goal.

A 12-yard run by Brandon Saunders gave the Greyhounds a first down on their first offensive play before he broke through the Rockets line for a nine yard run on the second play. It was at that point the Rockets defense went to work setting the tone. Two straight stops, for no yards then for a three yard loss, forced the Greyhounds to punt. The Rockets offense took the ball on the ensuing possession and started a trend that would continue the rest of the night -- running the ball right at the Greyhounds. James Snider ran the ball nine times on the Rockets 10 play, 63 yard scoring drive including a four yard scamper for a touchdown that gave the Rockets an early 7-0 lead. Playing off the final two plays of Manchester’s opening drive, the Rockets defense began to close holes and give the Greyhounds few choices offensively. While that second Grey-

hounds drive reached Rocket territory, thanks to a defensive pass interference penalty, Fayetteville forced two straight incompletions, the second of which was on fourth down. From that point forward, the Rocket defense controlled the Greyhound offense. The visitors would only pick up one more first down the entire first half. “All year our goal has been to shut somebody and get a complete shutout with zero points,” Watts said. “And we finally did it.” It was more than just that, though. “The kids got to where they were supposed to be tonight and we made some tackles,” Fayetteville coach Harley McCullough said after giving defensive coordinator Nathan Geers credit for having his group ready. “There was some hitting tonight.” With the defense shutting the Greyhounds down, the Rockets offense simply kept pounding the ball. The Rockets rushed for 269 yards on the evening by mixing up their runs and getting a lot of people involved. Snider, who ran for 98

yards, was big early as he did a lot of work on the first two drives before Scott Mullis, who hadn’t seen much action this year because of injury, got into the action. The sophomore, who added another 65 yards on the ground, led the Rockets to their third scoring drive where he capped it off with a five yard run to make it 20-0. “We played well. We spread the ball around, a lot of ball carriers,” McCullough said. Fullback Cody Shaw got into the action right before half to give the Rockets a 27-0 lead heading into the break. Shaw didn’t see much action against the Greyhounds simply because the Rockets took what they were given on the edges. “We had just enough jets here and there to pop them and get some bigger gains,” McCullough said. “They watched films. They were loading up on us where we usually run. “I thought offensively we made the adjustments to what they gave us. Whatever hole you gave us, we’re gonna take it.” The second half was

more of the same. The Rockets pounded the ball down the field and continued to score while the defense never allowed the Greyhounds to find any semblance of success. The only drawback was that Schaefer, who ran for 34 yards and two touchdowns, had to come out of the game after getting hit late. He wouldn’t play the rest of the night but that was more for precaution. Late in the game Watts, a senior who plays mostly on defense, was able to do something he had always wanted to do -- score a touchdown. He got around the right end and sprinted into the end zone for a 13-yard touchdown to make it 41-0 early in the fourth quarter. “It feels great,” Watts said. “I’ve always wanted a touchdown.” All in all the performance was exactly what the Rocket coaches had been wanting to see. Simply put, it was a dominant performance. “We came out and played real well from the start to finish,” McCullough said. “We didn’t come out flat. We came out ready to play ball.”

Frustrating loss to williamsburg ends Lady Jays season BY Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press WILLIAMSBURG-The Ripley girls soccer team just didn’t have much go their way on Wednesday night in their Southwest District Division III sectional opener at Williamsburg. But they didn’t play all that bad. They made runs up the field, got looks at the net and played a solid night of defense. The difference between a win and their loss were just the little things. Closing late on what turned out to be the game winning shot just 10 minutes into the game. Leading a teammate just inches too far on a cross near the goal. Even as they Lady Jays couldn’t get much going their way during play, outside forces seemed to be compounding things. Officiating was a hot button issue throughout the game and things got out of hand at times, particularly late in the second half. In all, it added up to a incredibly frustrating 1-0 loss that ended the Lady Jays season. “Disappointment,” is how Hauck summed it up succinctly afterwards. “Heartbreak.” Then she added, “It’s sad to have to end on a note like that.” In what was an otherwise solid first half of play, the

visitors made just one minor mistake on the back end that proved costly. A little over 10 minutes into the game Alyssa Donthnier found some open space in the middle of the field about 30 yards from the goal and unleashed a shot. The shot wasn’t pretty but it found a way to find net and give the Wildcats a 1-0 lead. “We had one little mess up -- in the center of the field -- where she got the ball and it knuckled right in

there,” Hauck said. It wasn’t the best shot the Wildcats saw all night but it was the only one they were able to do much with, thanks in large part to the Ripley defense. They kept themselves in front the Wildcat players with the ball and blocked or cleared most of the balls that got in the box. The balls they couldn’t, Boone was there to clean up. Offensively, the Lady Jays had the opportunities and shots but they could never just completely click

on a given play. Midway through the first half Shaunee Bruce had a 1 v 1 with the Williamsburg keeper but her shot was blocked. Teammate Niya Royal got the ball and lofted a high ball in front but none of her teammates could get there before Wildcats keeper Mallory Guess snatched the ball out of the air. That situation seemed to set the table for many near misses the rest of the first half and the entire second half. They were always just a little wide with a shot or a little far with a pass. “We had several shots on goal,” Hauke said. “We just couldn’t finish it. It’s been the story of the whole season. The games we have lost, we haven’t been able to score.” As the Lady Jays tried to find the equalizer late, officiating, unfortunately, became part of the story. Finally, with 15:43 after Lady Jay Kristen Abbott was hurt and had to be helped off, it came to head. Fans got more restless with how the game was called and so did Hauck. One official actually warned the Ripley fans if they said anything else Hauck would get a card. Minutes later, she got that yellow card. Another injury with no foul called -- with 5:14 left Kelci Bowling was kicked in the head, according to

Hauck, and had to be helped off -- resulted in a Ripley fan being ejected. Hauck made it clear she doesn’t like to talk about the officials but had felt things had gotten out of control. “Yeah, I got a yellow card but I would have taken a red tonight for my team because to have four injuries and the officials to not be worried about what’s going on the field,” Hauck said. “It was our fault we came down and got down by one. It’s our fault. “I really wasn’t even yelling at the officials until kids dropped one right after another. It’s sad.” The loss ended the Lady Jays season with an 8-7-2 record. The Lady Jays will say goodbye to a group of seniors -- Niya Royal, Jaclyn Applegate, Boone and Kody Gilkerson -- that are close to Hauck’s heart. All four played a big part in helping the Lady Jays to a pretty successful season. “We finished with a winning record. You can’t not be happy with that,” Hauck said. “It’s the first year we’ve had a winning record after being done with tournaments. You’d like for it to end on better terms but I can’t be happier with my team with the effort they’ve given compared to where we were at the beginning until now.”

young and inexperienced Lady G-Men get better despite speed bumps BY Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press For one half of play last Thursday night, the Georgetown girls soccer team was playing pretty well. The Lady G-Men controlled possession and were getting some good looks on goal, including two opportunities that resulted in a pair of goals and a halftime lead. Coming out of halftime, however, things seemed to change. Visiting Felicity quickly began to find some success and, once they tied the score at two apiece about 10 minutes into the second half, everything changed.

Georgetown’s Caitlyn richey kicks the ball upfield last Thursday night against Felicity.

The Lady Cardinals controlled the final 30 minutes and the Lady G-Men could never recover as they

dropped the Southern Hills League-National Division matchup 6-2. “It was (disappointing),”

Lady G-Men coach Ashley Sivlis-Corbin said by phone on Tuesday. “I just kind of felt like we felt like we had the win.” Throughout the first 40 minutes of play against Felicity, the Lady G-Men certainly played well enough to win. They took control from the opening kick and never looked back, save for a hiccup midway through the half when the Lady Cardinals capitalized on a mistake to take a 1-0 lead. Led by forwards Becca Whitaker and Alexa Baker as well as Kiersten Adkins, Mackenzie Carrington and Cheyenne Dunseith, the Lady G-Men continually attacked towards the goal.

Despite many early good looks, the Lady G-Men just couldn’t find the net. That all changed late in the first half. Dunseith finally broke through for the Lady GMen when she took the ball near the sideline, dribbled into the box and hit a shot that found the corner of the net. The freshman’s goal tied the score at one with 7:55 left in the half. Less than a minute and a half later, the hosts took the lead. Whitaker followed a Carrington shot that was saved and tapped it into th net to give the Lady G-Men a 2-1 heading into halftime. CONTINUED ON PAGE 17

Eastern was the top county team as they earned a respectable fourth place finish with 95 points. “I was hoping we might do a little better but the top three teams that finished above us earned it,” Glasscock said. “They ran well. A solid day (for us). I was pleased with all our performances overall.” Layne Pickerill ran a personal record for the Ripley course en route to a fourth place finish. He finished in 17:50. “He had a super day,”

Glasscock said. Teammate Dakota Williams also earned AllLeague honors for the Warriors with a 12th place finish. He ran the course in 18:35. A young Ripley squad finished in fifth place, something Kelly was pleased with. “My goal for the boys was to be in the top five,” the Blue Jays coach said. “And they finished fifth.” Aaron Stidham was the lone Ripley runner to earn All-League honors as he finished 10th in a time of 18:32. Coming off a runner-up finish a year ago at the

league meet, injuries proved to be too much to overcome for Fayetteville. The Rockets finished in sixth place as their top two runn ers D.J. Iles and Corey Lykins -- who was still recovering from a broken collarbone -- ran but were both battling difficult injuries. “We’ve not been healthy all year,” Johnson said. “We didn’t have the top two runners (healthy). That hurt us.” Iles overcame ankle and knee injuries to be the lone Rocket runner to earn AllLeague honors. He finished 13th in a time of 18:40.

Lady G-Men: Battle through season but see improvement made it difficult for the Lady G-Men, who returned just five players from a year ago, to ever get comfortable. That isn’t to say they haven’t improved and had some strong moments. For instance, on Oct. 4, the Lady G-Men overcame a 3-0 deficit against a strong Batavia team to fall just short, 4-3. Or just last Saturday, Oct. 13, two days after the loss to Felicity, the Lady GMen played a solid 80 minutes to earn a 1-1 tie with an improving Ripley squad. “All of the girls, since I got here, have just improved tremendously,” Silvis-Corbin said. The Lady G-Men now just have Southwest District Division III sectional play to look forward to as the season comes to a close. They had a tough task on their hands in the sectional opener as they traveled to battle the sectional’s No. 1 seed, 12-1-1 Summit Country Day, on Oct. 17. Though a very tough matchup, Silvis-Corbin felt like the match could actually help her young team. “One of the main things is that you only get better playing teams better than you,” she said. “It gives them a chance to see a team that passes the ball and works well as a team. I think it’s good for them.”

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 16 Feeling good about their position, the Lady G-Men came out in the second half and struggled. And the Lady Cardinals took full advantage. They tied the score at two about 10 minutes in off a free kick near the top of the box that got beyond the wall of Georgetown defenders and into the net. The goal seemed to knock the Lady G-Men off their feet and they never recovered as Felicity ended the game with five unanswered second half goals. “We got our heads down when they scored a couple of goals,” Silvis-Corbin said. The loss added to a tough year for the Lady G-Men and their first-year head coach. Injuries have played a big role in the Lady GMen’s struggles as several members, many on defense, have had to miss time. The injuries forced players to play out of position quite a bit. However, much of their struggles can be attributed to, simply, youth and inexperience. “I don’t think people realize that I have a lot of players who are first year players, (some) who have never played soccer before,” Silvis-Corbin said. The combination of inexperience and injuries have

Anytime both brand and generic manufacturers are in favor of the same idea, you can be pretty sure consumers are coming up on the short end of the stick; that’s the case with Pay-for-Delay. The easiest way to explain Pay-for-Delay is to give an imaginary example. Let’s say you own a generic manufacturer and you want to make a generic for the popular — and totally imaginary — drug Zyzyn. You know that the patent for the active ingredient has expired, but the brand name drug is still covered by a secondary patent that covers a special coating the pellets inside the capsule get. You feel that the secondary patent is bogus and file a lawsuit to have the patent invalidated. Zyzyn’s manufacturer comes to you and asks you to drop the lawsuit and in exchange they’ll give you 10 million dollars a year for the next three years until the secondary patent expires. It’s a win-win situation: The generic manufacturer gets 10 million a year and the brand name manufacturer protects its cash cow. Luckily, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is fighting against these deals. “It turns the market on its head, because generics earn more money by not competing than they would by entering the marketplace” said FTC Chairman Jon Leibowitz. Unfortunately, the courts have not been very sympathetic to the FTC’s cause. The courts have a long history of preferring out-ofcourt settlements instead of squandering valuable judicial time and resources by going to trial. If my imaginary example

HealtH Matters Tom Callahan, Rph sounds a bit far-fetched, consider this; according to a lawsuit filed by the FTC, the manufacturer Cephalon paid a total of $200 million to several generic companies to get them to drop patent challenges to its narcolepsy drug Provigil. What did Cephalon get out of the deal? “We were able to get six more years of patent protection, that’s $4 billion in sales no one expected,” said Cephalon’s then chief executive Frank Baldino. These types of blatant Pay-for-Delay deals are going by the wayside because the FTC has been very aggressive in fighting to block them. Now the industry is working hard to cover their tracks by disguising the transactions as licensing, marketing, or manufacturing agreements. The FTC estimates that Pay-for-Delay deals cost consumers about $3.5 billion a year in higher prescription drug prices. The FTC has been lobbying congress to make these deals illegal. In 2010, the House of Representatives passed legislation to that effect but it died in the Senate. On the other side of the fence, the Generic Pharma-

ceutical Association (GPA) claims that Pay-for-Delay deals can be good for consumers. “Pro-consumer patent settlements have never prevented competition beyond a patent's expiration. Indeed, they have resulted in making lower-cost generics available months and even years before patents have expired, saving consumers billions of dollars," said GPhA chief executive Ralph Neas. Seventeen of the 22 firsttime generics launched in 2011 were the result of patent settlements, according to Neas. To be honest, most Payfor-Delay deals are not nearly as flagrant as the Cephalon/Provigil case. In most cases the generic is released well before the contested patent would have expired. One should remember that the cost of all this litigation gets passed along to consumers also. What would go a long way to alleviating these problems would be to fix the patent office. Doesn’t anyone else wonder why so many patents are being overturned except maybe that they weren’t valid in the first place? Tom Callahan is a pharmacist, he lives in the Milford area.

MARRIAGE Ephesians 5:19-33: “Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.” I want to speak to you about marriage and how it relates to God. Go back with me to the very first couple in Genesis 2. Verse 7 states: “And the LORD GOD formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. Now God had already made all the other creatures but man was the only one that He breathed His breath of life into and caused him to become a living soul. Animals do not have living souls. They are not eternal beings. God created man to be eternal! We will spend all eternity in either Heaven or Hell. The living soul is forever. Now look at verse 22: “And the rib, which the LORD GOD had taken from man, made he a woman, and

brought her unto the man.” When woman was created out of a rib of the man she was in no way created inferior to him! She was equal to him. She was physically weaker, not mentally. She was created to be a companion and a mother of his children. God made man a help meet. Look up the word meet in a Webster’s dictionary sometime. Listen, Christians do not bully women. The women have no higher place in the world in society then in a country which has practiced Christianity! A woman is not a possession. A man does not buy her like he would a cow! In the original creation the woman was not created to be obedient to her husband. After sin things changed. God told her: “thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.” She was to be obedient to him, not a slave to him! She is to reverence her husband and he is to love her as Christ loves the church. Look, when Satan was tempting Eve, she was not in the company of Adam. He was not present with her. It was easier to persuade one then it would have been to persuade two who stood together. Ecclesiastes 4:12 states: “And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him..” She alone was beguiled by Satan. When she returned to Adam and told him what she had done, she gave him of the fruit and he also ate. He knew what God had said and he did not want to be left alone; he thought he was going to lose his companion so he ate it. He gave his life for his bride. We see that repeated when Jesus was willing to become sin for us! The church is the bride of Christ. He gave His life for us! A marriage between a man and a woman should resemble the relationship between Christ and His church. We should reverence God; He loves us! In return because of His love we grow to love Him.

Winter reconnection program available to help consumers avoid utility disconnection As temperatures drop, Ohioans are starting to crank up their home heating systems. Starting today, low-income Ohioans can benefit from additional relief for these utility services. Residential utility consumers can avoid a utility disconnection or restore their heating services by making a one-time payment of $175. In September, the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO) issued a Winter Reconnection Order providing low-income consumers with this assistance. This option is available for consumers until April 15, 2013. For households with incomes at or below 200 percent of the federal poverty guidelines, funds provided through the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), Winter Crisis Program (WCP) or other energy assistance programs may be used to pay the $175 charge. Households with incomes above 200 percent of the federal poverty guidelines must enter into a payment plan for any remaining balance on their utility bills above $175. If a consumer’s heating service has already been disconnected, an additional

$36 reconnection fee is required. Consumers are encouraged to apply for assistance or contact their utility company to establish a payment plan before they face loss of service and additional reconnection fees. “The Winter Reconnection Order has helped hundreds of thousands of Ohioans maintain utility service for heat during the winter months,” said Ohio Consumers’ Counsel Bruce J. Weston. Other features of the PUCO's order are as follows: Consumers can only take advantage of the Winter Reconnection Order once during the winter heating season. If customers owe past due payments on their natural gas and electric bills, the $175 can be divided between both utilities. Customers can use the Winter Reconnection Order to initiate electric or natural gas service rather than pay the required security deposit. If the security deposit exceeds $175, the remaining balance will be added to their next month's bill. Percentage of Income Payment Plan (PIPP Plus) customers can take advan-

tage of the Winter Reconnection Order. PIPP Plus customers who have been dropped from the program are required to make any missed PIPP Plus payments or pay $175, whichever is less, to re-enroll in the program. OCC also offers the following information for customers struggling to keep pace with their heating bills on its website, www.pickocc.org: • Percentage of Income Payment Plan (PIPP Plus): http://www.pickocc.org/pu blications/assistance_programs/PIPP_Plus.pdf • Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP): http://www.pickocc.org/pu blications/assistance_programs/HEAP_Guidelines.pdf • Alternative Payment Plans: http://www.pickocc.org/publications/assistance_programs/Energy_D isconnection_and_Reconnection.pdf • Medical certifications: http://www.pickocc.org/pu blications/consumer_protection/Medical_Certifications.pdf • Budget Billing: http://www.pickocc.org/pu blications/natural_gas/The _Facts_about_Natural_Gas _Budget_Billing.pdf

Creature Feature Recent change in seasons bring mushrooms, protect your dog In the past few weeks the season has dramatically changed from Summer to Fall. Along with the colorful leaves, cooler temperatures and shorter days, you may have noticed an invasion of mushrooms popping up in the woods, the parks, and yes, in your yard. It seems like my dog is immediately drawn to any new development in the backyard, including the freshly sprouted colonies of mushrooms. This specific family dog will also eat anything it encounters – just to test it out and make sure it’s not a treat or toy of some kind. Just this past week, a friend’s dear little dog became deathly ill with symptoms of mushroom toxicity. Mushrooms are hard to identify. Many species, both poisonous and nonpoisonous, look very much alike. Although many mushrooms are known as ‘little brown mushrooms,’ and are generally not a worry, any time your dog has eaten a mushroom we advise bringing him in for toxic treatment. Poisonous mushrooms can cause 4 distinct clinical syndromes. • Upset stomach. This is the most common, and luckily is rarely fatal. Vomiting and diarrhea can occur within 6 hours of eating a mushroom. This usually only lasts around 24 hours, and isn't serious. • Upset plus muscarinic signs. These signs include excessive salivating and tear production. Pupils often become small and constricted. The most serious sign is a low heart rate. These signs will usually develop within 6 hours and almost always require emergency care. • Upset stomach, muscarinic signs, plus depression & lethargy. Severe abdominal pain

DAN MEAKIN CREATURE FEATURE

and vomiting can occur. Because mushrooms destroy the liver, dogs can develop jaundice. Also because of the attack on the liver, bleeding disorders can develop. Seizures may be noted. Without aggressive, immediate treatment, this syndrome is often fatal. • Hallucinogenic syndrome. Mushrooms that cause this are known as magic mushrooms, flu legs, or liberty caps. These are considered illegal street drugs in many places. Dogs are unlikely to encounter these in nature. However they tend to pull these mushrooms out of backpacks or other hiding places. Dogs who are

hallucinating frequently snap at invisible flies, can be extremely depressed and may even become comatose. Dogs that ingest these mushrooms always require emergency care. Mushrooms found in your yard should be removed immediately – before your dog notices them and has an opportunity to eat them. If you think your dog has eaten a wild mushroom, you may want to retain a sample of any bile from vomit as well as a separate stool sample. These can be stored in plastic bags for your vet to examine. With mushrooms, you’re often better safe than sorry – bring him in for toxic testing!

Bettiga. “We hope shoppers in the Georgetown area are as excited as we are to welcome Shopko Hometown to their community, and we think offering our customers tremendous savings is a great way to kick off this exciting change over.” This final stage of the Pamida liquidation sale will run through the end of November. The store will then begin its conversion to the new Shopko Hometown format in December. The conversion will take approximately 5-6 weeks from start to finish and will include new interior and exterior signage, updated and supplemented fixtures, improved store design and layout, as well as an expanded merchandise mix. Shopko is investing approximately $80 million into Pamida store conversions which have occurred in phases throughout the year.

First annual Sieze Hope Gala The Epilepsy Foundation of Greater Cincinnati will pay tribute to Roger Heldman, in naming the longtime epilepsy advocate as its "Seize Hope" honoree at the first annual Seize Hope fundraising gala beginning at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, November 15, at the Hyatt Regency Cincinnati. Seize Hope Gala celebrates individuals living with epilepsy who did not allow the challenges of epilepsy stop them from achieving their goals. Enjoy an evening with others who have "Seized Hope", attained success through their accomplishments and have been instrumental in addressing the Epilepsy Foundation's mission to lead the fight to stop seizures, find a cure and overcome the challenges created by seizures. In addition to naming Roger Heldman, “Seize Hope 2012” honoree, the evening’s festivities will

also include an inspiring message from Jessica Waters, receiving an Achievement Award, who will share her own story of triumph over epilepsy as she forges a successful life path, having been crowned Miss Ohio Junior Teen America 2012, founder of the nonprofit Cupcakes for Camp and dedicated advocate for the Epilepsy Foundation. Volunteer Awards will also be presented to Mary Broxterman and Ron Childs for their relentless efforts to support our foundation. Anyone at any age can develop epilepsy. Current research shows that 1 out of every 26 people will develop epilepsy in their lifetime. Epilepsy affects people of all ages, races and ethnic backgrounds. More than 2% of the today’s population is affected by epilepsy–this adds up to more than 3 million Americans living with epilepsy. It is equal in prevalence to

Cerebral Palsy, Multiple Sclerosis and Parkinson’s disease combined. The gala, which is being held during Epilepsy Awareness month, aims not only to raise funds for epilepsy but to also educate the public about epilepsy. This event enables the Epilepsy Foundation of Greater Cincinnati to continue to provide vital, free services to the over 30,000 people in the Greater Cincinnati area affected by epilepsy. The types of programs that will benefit from this event include: counseling, support groups, community education, group homes, a camping program, an adult day program and much more! To learn more about the Seize Hope Gala, epilepsy and the Epilepsy Foundation of Greater Cincinnati visit www.cincinnatiepilepsy.org or call (513) 721-2905.

The last few years have been difficult ones across Southern Ohio, for the economy in general and small businesses in particular. As the economy begins to slowly reawaken, a number of entrepreneurs are considering whether to start a new business or to expand an existing operation. Many times banks are reluctant to take a risk on a fledgling business, particularly a business start-up. A Revolving Loan Fund is one way a business person can leverage their experience and hard work to expand the storefront, service, or product they provide. The Ohio Valley RC&D Council established its revolving loan fund for that very reason, to help businesses grow and create or improve jobs. The fund has been in existence for some 12 years and has assisted more than three dozen companies expand and grow. The Council operates in a ten-county region that includes: Adams, Brown, Gallia, Highland, Jackson, Lawrence, Pike, Ross, Scioto, and Vinton Counties. The RC&D is a regional non-profit focused on economic development, natural resources conservation, and rural development. According to John Kellis, Council Executive Director, funding is available for existing or start-up businesses as long as the loan will result in a job retained, a job created, or expanded

classes is $15.00 per person, $30.00 per couple, (a couple includes the diabetic and one support person), additional support people may attend but there will be a $10.00 charge per person. Attendance is limited to 30 participants. To register call the OSU Extension Office at (937) 393-1918, email Amy Habig at habig.13@osu.edu or download registration forms from www.brown.osu.edu. Payment and registration are required by Wednesday, October 24, 2012.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 5 a company that was granted a patent by President George Washington to develop land between the Little Miami River and the Great Miami River – an area encompassing more than 311,000 acres. Symmes and his partners paid about 67 cents an acre. Symmes sold some land to the developers of Cincinnati, which was founded December 28, 1788. Harrison successfully promoted an act of Congress that allowed people of modest means to buy land in the Northwest Territory directly from the federal government. This contributed to rapid growth in Ohio’s population. The Northwest Ordinance established a process for new states to join the Union – based on population – and, in 1803, Ohio became the first state formed out of the Northwest Territory. The Northwest Ordinance

also established the township form of government in the territory, which continues to be favored by many communities in Ohio. I previously served as a trustee of Clermont County’s Miami Township for 11 years, so I understand why many Ohioans prefer this local form of government as opposed to incorporating into a village or city. Some residents believe township government is more responsive to their needs. Oddly enough, the only two things that Ohio law requires a township to do are maintain public roads and ensure burial of the dead. Many Ohioans appreciate our state’s history, including our heritage of liberty and justice for all. I hope you will join me in celebrating the 225th anniversary of the Northwest Ordinance, which resulted in the great state of Ohio.

years in Ohio. The Census is conducted by the United States Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS). The Census forms will be mailed out in late December or you can complete the form online. The web address is www.agcensus.usda.gov Remember, these numbers are often used for shaping policy involving agriculture. The results are used by federal, state and local government in planning, so agriculture needs to be heard. FAMACHA Testing Program Most Sheep and Goat producers know the term FAMACHA. This is a test using color to identify the need for treatment for parasites in these animals. The eyelids are checked and based on the amount of red color, or lack of, you can determine if there is a need for treatment for parasites. We will offer this program to train producers to use this method in their own flocks on Monday, November 19 at 6:00 p.m. The program will be held at the United Producers in Hillsboro. You must register for the program by noon

on November 19. The cost is $10 if you sign up by noon on the day of the program. After noon or at the door is $20. The program will include a take home FAMACHA card and a light meal. The program will be presented by OSU Extension personnel and partially sponsored by OSU Extension and United Producers in Hillsboro. The Adams Co. Extension Office will be handling registration. You can stop by the office or call (937) 544-2339 or e-mail Pam Stout at stout.121@osu.edu. For more information you may call me at (937) 515-2314 or e-mail me at dugan.46@osu.edu.

Master Gardener Class Due to low enrollment, the Master Gardener Training that started last week has been modified. During the Brown County Master Gardener Meeting last week the discussion included the desire of some people to take the class, but was unable to take the class for one reason or another. One reason expressed was the fact that the class was scheduled for two days a week. We are going to continue with the class with some changes. We are now going to have the class at the Brown County Extension Office in Georgetown for the most part and occasionally in the Highland County Extension Office. The two locations will be announced on a weekly basis soon. The reason for the two locations comes from the fact that we had people sign up from these two counties. The other change is that we will only meet one day per week, on Wednesdays. This date worked best for those who

These final days of the Pamida liquidation will be highlighting the remaining merchandise that was brought in from the Pamida Distribution Center and other Pamida stores, with savings of up to 50% off storewide. Customers will find liquidation discounts in many departments including apparel, shoes, sporting goods, toys, bed & bath, furniture, electronics and more. “We’re thrilled to be in the final phase of our liquidation sales as we prepare to convert the final group of Pamida stores over to Shopko Hometown,” said Shopko Interim CEO Mike

The goal of the fund is to create a job for roughly each $15,000 loaned by the Council. A fixed loan interest rate of 4% is currently available to qualified applicants. Applicants are encouraged to have or develop a business plan. There are resources available to help entrepreneurs develop a business plan, which is an important step in the success of any business venture. Assistance is available through the Ohio Small business Development Center (SBDC) in Piketon where a business person can contact the Director Ryan Mapes at (740) 289-3727 ext. 231.

preciate everything they do for our community and future healthcare professionals.” The donated items are: Hospital beds (3), Stretchers (2), Overbed tables (6), Hoyer lift Patient room chairs (6), Chairs designed for geriatric patients (2), Compression pump. Nursing students at UC East conduct their clinical rotations at Clermont Hospital in Batavia. The equipment, Graham said, was donated in support of UC East’s growing nursing program and adds to opportunities the students have for hands-on training. Enrollment at UC East has risen from approximately 22 students when the campus opened in 2010 to nearly 160 students today. “The Nursing program at UC East is an important program of the University of Cincinnati College of Nursing as we are committed to preparing a nursing workforce that will meet

the needs of the community. We are grateful to our partners at Mercy Health for their significant contributions to our program,” said Greer Glazer, PhD, dean of the college. UC’s College of Nursing offers a full range of undergraduate, master's and doctoral nursing degree programs on the university’s Uptown Campus. An associate's degree in nursing is offered at UC Blue Ash College and a bachelor’s degree in nursing at UC East in Batavia. Prenursing coursework is offered at UC’s Uptown and Clermont College campuses. The donated equipment is gently used and has been replaced at Clermont Hospital by newer equipment in recent months. Mercy Health will also be a key sponsor again for the upcoming UC Clermont 5K Walk/Run as part of the ongoing partnership between the two organizations.

New service offered at Southwest Regional Southwest Regional Medical Center is happy to announce that it will be holding Pulmonary and Sleep clinics in the Outpatient Pavilion starting October 22, 2012. M. Souheil Darwich, M.D. is a Board Certified Pulmonologist who will conduct the clinics. Dr. Darwich holds American Board Certifications in Internal Medicine, Pulmonary Medicine, Critical Care and has extensive experience in Sleep Medicine. He specializes in the diseases of: Sleep Apnea, Asthma, COPD, Chronic Cough and Pulmonary Fibrosis. He will treat adult and pediatric patients ages 6 year of age and older, plus will accept patients on a self referral basis. No doctor referral is necessary. Sleep Apnea is a serious sleep disorder that occurs when a person’s breathing is interrupted during sleep. This disease affects over 22 million Americans, but many people do not realize they have it. The signs of sleep apnea are more easily detected by a partner. Major signs of sleep apnea are: loud or chronic snoring, long pauses in breathing, choking, snorting, or gasping for air during sleep and daytime sleepiness. If left untreated, sleep apnea can result in: high blood pressure, stroke, heart failure, irregular heart beats and heart attack, diabetes, depression, and poor per-

formance in everyday life such as work, school and driving. Treatments include medications, oral appliances, and surgery, but the most common treatment for sleep apnea is CPAP. The best decision you can make is getting the diagnosis by having a sleep study conducted usually overnight and over a period of several hours. After this done, the Sleep Specialist reviews the findings and decides which steps to take to correct your sleep apnea. Currently, COPD is the third cause of death in the United States today. COPD includes the diseases of Asthma, Emphysema, Chronic Bronchitis, Bronchiectasis and Cystic Fibrosis. It could develop slowly and get worse over time. Symptoms of COPD include: cough, coughing up mucus, difficulty breathing, shortness of breath during physical activity, wheezing and chest tightness. COPD may affect you at different times of the year such as spring and fall. Knowing what to expect is important so that you can work with your doctor to shape a treatment plan. It’s important to seek treatment early in the disease process to maintain a healthy quality of life. Dr. Darwich will be glad to see you at our Southwest Regional Medical Center Outpatient Pavilion on 425 Home Street, Georgetown, Ohio. Make an appointment today by calling 937-3787575.

My husband and I love to take long drives on the weekend to visit favorite spots and explore new areas of the tri-state. The autumn colors varied as we made our way through Clinton, Highland, Brown, Adams, Scioto, Pike and Warren County. One of the most spectacular showing of red seemed to be poison ivy and Virginia creeper vines. How does autumn color happen? The USDA Forest Service provides detailed information about Nature’s multicolored autumn farewell. Three factors influence autumn leaf color-leaf pigments, length of night, and weather. The timing of color change and leaf fall is primarily regulated by the calendar, that is, the increasing length of night. None of the other environmental influencestemperature, rainfall, food supply, and so on, is as unvarying as the steadily

increasing length of night during autumn. As days grow shorter, and nights grow longer and cooler, biochemical processes in the leaf begin to paint the landscape with Nature’s autumn palette. A color palette needs pigments, and there are three types that are involved in autumn color: Chlorophyll – gives leaves their basic green color. It is necessary of photosynthesis, the chemical reaction that enables plants to use sunlight to manufacture sugars for their food. Carotenoids – produce yellow, orange, and brown colors in such things as corn, carrots, and daffodils, as well as rutabagas, buttercups, and bananas. Anthocyanins - give color to such familiar things as cranberries, red apples, concord grapes, cherries, strawberries, and plums. During the growing season, chlorophyll is continually being produced and broken down

season are related to weather conditions that occur before and during the time the chlorophyll in the leaves is dwindling. Temperature and moisture are the main influences. A succession of warm, sunny days and cool, crisp (but not freezing) nights seems to bring about the most spectacular color displays. During these days, lots of sugars are produced in the leaf but the cool nights and the gradual closing of veins going into the leaf prevent these sugars from moving out. These conditions- lots of sugar and lots of lightspur production of the brilliant anthocyanins pigments, which tint reds, purples, and crimson. The amount of moisture in the soil also affects autumn colors. Like the weather, soil moisture varies greatly from year to year. A late spring, or a severe summer drought, can delay the onset of fall color by a few weeks. A warm period during fall will also lower the intensity of autumn colors. A

and leaves appear green. As night length increases in the autumn, chlorophyll production slows down and then stops and eventually all the chlorophyll is destroyed. The Carotenoids and anthocyanins that are present in the leaf are then unmasked and show their colors. Oaks turn red, brown, or russet; hickories, golden bronze; aspen and yellow-poplar, golden yellow; dogwood, purplish red; beech, light tan; and sourwood and black tupelo, crimson. Maples differ species by speciesred maple turns brilliant scarlet; sugar maple, orange-red; and black maple, glowing yellow. Striped maple becomes almost colorless. Leaves of some species such as the elms simply shrivel up and fall, exhibiting little color other than drab brown. How does weather affect autumn color?
