THE BROWN COUNTY

Ohio AG visits, talks with police BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press Senior law enforcement officers from throughout Southwest Ohio met with Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine on October 23. The gathering took place at Southern Hills Career and Technology Center. “The reason I wanted to have this meeting today is to stay in touch and let them know about some of the things that we’re doing and about some of the services that we can provide.”, DeWine told The Brown County Press. Over 30 attended the meeting, including Brown County Sheriff Dwayne Wenninger, Clermont County Sheriff A.J. “Tim” Rodenberg and Clinton County Sheriff Ralph Fizer,

Jr.. A number of police chiefs from Brown County as well. DeWine began the discussion with the topic that consumes much of the time and money of local law enforcement...fighting the drug problem. Many of those present told DeWine that they were fighting those at the end of the drug chain and focusing more on crimes committed by demand for drugs rather than being able to focus on the suppliers. “The number of deaths continues to go up. Heroin is cheap, we’ve still got a long way to go on prescription drugs.”, DeWine said after the discussion. He added that his office was working on the next step in solving the prescription CONTINUED ON PAGE 14

School shooting Full bussing to return to WB drill at SHCTC BY Martha B. Jacob The Brown County Press

The people responsible for dealing with a school shooting in Brown County gathered to discuss and hone their response on October 23. The meeting was held at Southern Hills Career and Technical Center. Participants included representatives from local law enforcement, fire departments, the communications center, the school and the Brown County Emergency Management Agency. At the center of discussion was a “table top” drill that involved a man with a gun entering the school with a gun and opening fire. The meeting was led by Don Rabold of the Brown County Educational Service Center. “The first responders to an act of violence in a school are the students and staff. What we are doing is teaching them something that has

been part of America for years...the idea that you have a role in your own defense.”, Rabold said. He was referring to the ALICE system, which is a departure from “locking down” students regardless of the location of a threat. ALICE is an acronym that stands for: A = Alert 9-1-1 and staff members L = Lockdown in area where shooter is located I = Inform location of shooter via PA as a deterrent C = Counter measures by staff and students E = Evacuate staff and students where possible “It’s nothing but common sense.”, Rabold said. We are legitimizing what quite honestly a number of students and staff, particularly at the high school level, are going to do anyway.” Those responses include the “C’ and “E”, options...counter and evacuate.

BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press Improvements to the intersection of Brooks-Malott Road and State Highway 32 will begin this week. Brooks-Malott between SR 32 and Bardwell West Road will be closed for approximately six weeks for construction. The Village of Mt. Orab is paying for widening the road and other improvements. The cost of the work is $462,592.50. The road runs in front of the new Mt. Orab campus for Southern State Community College. It will be widened to accommodate the sharp increase in traffic that is expected when the campus opens in August of

2014. “We have to do this now so we don’t hold Southern State up from building the access road into their parking lot.”, said Mt. Orab Mayor Bruce Lunsford. Barrett Paving Materials of Newtown submitted the winning bid for the work. In a letter to Lunsford, Village Engineer J.D. Stine said that Barrett was “well qualified to perform the work”. Stine also wrote that Barrett had worked on projects in the past for the village, most recently the paving of Apple Street West. Barrett also owns its own asphalt plant, which allows the company to work later in the year. Lunsford said the village is also going to pay for running sewer lines under SR 32. The village was scheduled to open the bids on Friday, October 25, after press time. The Ohio Department of Transportation is also planning to make major improvements to the Brooks-Malott/SR 32 intersection. ODOT will open bids for that project next month, with construction expected to begin in the Spring of 2014.

Western Brown Local Schools will once again be busing high school students that live within a five mile driving distance beginning in the 2014-15 school year, according to Roger Taylor, director of operations and transportation. “The reinstatement of the five-mile cut will result in changes to route pickup and dropoff times beginning in August of 2014.”, Taylor said in a press release. “The district is currently exploring temporary measures that would provide transportation to every WBHS student beginning in January of the CONTINUED ON PAGE 14

G’town life squad to merge with FD BY Martha B. Jacob The Brown County Press During a special meeting of members of the Georgetown Volunteer Life Squad Association, held October 15, the group voted to merge their facility with the Georgetown Fire Depart-

ment. According to Sherry Ridner, a 23 year veteran EMT/Paramedic with the Life Squad, the merger between the two is the right way to go. “I am excited about the future of the merger and I anticipate good things for

the residents of this community,” Ridner said. “At first, I felt a little shocked about how quickly things moved and some times it can be a little hard to change our ways. But, I listened closely to what Fire Chief Joey Rockey had to say, and I felt good about his ideas. It will

actually take a lot of pressure off our association.” Ridner, who served as the squad’s chief for over six years and currently serves as treasurer for the association, said the merger is in its very early stages and all the issues have not been worked out. CONTINUED ON PAGE 14

RULH voters have 2.6 mills levy on ballot, for permanent improvements in schools As Tuesday, November 5 grows closer, and voters in the Ripley-UnionLewis-Huntington School District go to the polls, they will have a choice to make regarding a 2.6 mills permanent improvement, 5-year levy. For the past few months, leading up to November 5, members of the board of education, the board treasurer, the superintendent and an organized group called ‘Citizens for RULH Students’ have been busy informing voters on the levy. During an organizational meeting of the Citizens for RULH Students, board of education treasurer Adam

Zink explained that by passing the 2.6 mill permanent improvement levy, what residents are currently paying will not change. “Voters need to understand that this district has been paying a 3 mill levy for the past 23 years,” Zink said. “That levy was to pay for the construction of the high school, but did not cover maintenance on the school. “That 3 mill levy has expired now and will go away. But we still need many improvements in our district including upgrades to our bus fleet, new textbooks, (some of which are 12 years old) and improved technology.” The levy can only be used for upgrades that will last for multiple years, usu-

ally between 8 and 10 years. According to Zink, with the 3 mills levy going off the books, residents will barely see a change in what they pay in taxes when the 2.6 mills levy kicks in 2014, assuming it passes. None of the funds can be used for anything other than improvements in the district. Former superintendent at RULH, Patrick Kimble told the board, before stepping down that according to the recent method of funding RULH Schools will receive very little assistance from the state. “We have made cuts in our budget including cutting staff and programs,” Kimble said at a board meeting earlier this year.

State Highway Patrol investigating a forced landing of an airplane The Wilmington Post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol is investigating a forced/emergency landing of an airplane in Clinton County. On October 23, 2013, at 1153 hours, the Wilmington Post Dispatch Center received a telephone call of airplane that was making a forced/emergency landing near Krouse Road at Farmers Road in Washington Township, Clinton County Ohio. Troopers from the Wilmington Patrol Post where dispatched to the scene. Douglas G. Alexander,

57 year old male from Oxford, MS was flying his 1967 Beechcraft Bonaza from Oxford, Mississippi to Columbus, Ohio when one of the cylinders in the engine failed, which caused a loss of power. Mr. Alexander had made radio contact with Port Columbus Airport and advised that he was experiencing engine trouble and would be making a forced/emergency landing. Mr. Alexander landed the airplane in a plowed field. Mr. Alexander did no sustain any injuries. There was no damage sustained

to the aircraft or the private property. Mr. Alexander was walking away from the aircraft as units arrived on the scene. The Wilmington Patrol Post was assisted by the Wilmington Fire Department and the Clinton County Sheriff's Department. The Federal Aviation Administration was contacted and sent Inspector Bobby Evans to the scene. The FAA will be conducting an investigation with the assistance of the Ohio State Highway Patrol.

Tractor rollover accident in Moscow

Clermont County Sheriff AJ Rodenberg announced that at 5:45 p.m. on Monday, October 21, 2013 Clermont County Sheriff's deputies responded to 760 Maple Creek Road in Moscow for a report of a tractor roll over accident on private property with entrapment. Upon arrival emergency crews were on scene treating the victim. The victim/property owner, Robert Hampton, 65, was clearing trees on the property and was

pulling a log up a grade. The log became wedged causing the front of the tractor to flip backwards pinning Mr. Hampton underneath the steering wheel. A relative of the victim was able to use another vehicle to pull the tractor off of Mr Hampton prior to emergency crews arriving. At the time the injuries did not appear to be life threatening, however Mr. Hampton was flown by Air Care to University Hospital.

“We have tried to use our money wisely.” Current superintendent Linda Naylor, took the helm at RULH on August 1. Naylor stated, “Mr. Kimble was right on the money, the new state budget provides very little assistance to RULH Schools. “It certainly does not provide additional funds to purchase new buses or update technology. The decision to make improvements in these areas will have to be made locally.”, Naylor said. “Please take a moment to imagine what learning would look like with mobile devices like iPads r Chromebooks in the hands of our students. The possibilities are phenomenal.”

Teen Driving Safety = Parents and teens working together! October 20 - 26 marked the 2013 National Teen Driver Safety Week (NTDSW), and this year’s campaign theme was “It Takes Two: Shared Expectations for Teens and Parents for Driving”. The Brown County Safe Communities Coalition supports this campaign, and here we hope to bring you some of the latest information on this very important topic. Much of this information comes from the Center for Injury Prevention at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) and State Farm Insurance, who are the driving forces behind the annual NTDSW campaign. They also have “their fingers on the pulse” of causes of teen crashes because they fund and conduct ongoing research on teen driver safety. This research often involves talking with many teens across the country. You and your teen can look at their findings and other terrific teen driving materials on their www.teendriversource.or g website, which has separate sections geared towards teens, parents of teen drivers, and high school teachers. One recommendation is that teens get at least 65 hours of supervised driving practice. The website which I just mentioned includes a Driving Lesson Timeline which helps parents to plan their driving lessons from the more simple skills to the more complex. The website also has a Driving Practice Log, a Parent-Teen Agreement for supervised driving sessions, and a

SUSAN BASTA tip sheet for parents on how to set “house rules” to reduce your teen’s risk of having a motor vehicle crash. As far as supervised practice goes, CHOP suggests that three areas which parents need to address in particular with their teens are (1) speed management, (2) recognizing and avoiding distractions, and (3) scanning for hazards while on the road. “Recognizing and avoiding distractions” means only one teen passenger at the most, no texting or using cell phones or other electronic devices while driving, and no loud or blaring radio volume. CHOP and State Farm also recommend five “permanent” house driving safety rules. The first is to use seat belts on every trip, every ride— and this should include the teen driver and all his or her passengers. This rule is crucial, because buckling up is the Number One defense against fatal and serious injuries from motor vehicle crashes. As mentioned before, teens should not use cell phones or other electronic devices while driving—and one of the best ways to enforce this is to set a good example yourself while driving. Teens should follow all driving laws, including no speeding. Your teen

should not drive while impaired (this means either drunk, drugged, OR drowsy due to lack of sleep!) or ride as a passenger with an impaired driver. Finally, your teen should not ride with an unlicensed or inexperienced teen driver. Just to fill you in on the local teen driving safety issue here in Brown County, in 2012 nearly 17% of all traffic crashes involved a youthful driver (that is, a driver who was 15 to 20 years of age). This rate is higher than the state average for 2012, which was about 13%. Although no teens were involved in 2012 fatal crashes in Brown County, they were involved with 88 crashes causing injuries and 135 crashes involving property damage. What you as a parent need to know is that you do have control of your teen’s license until he or she is 18 years old—you are the cosigner on your teen’s license. And as the cosigner, YOU are liable for any damages resulting from your teen’s driving. Teens need to be reminded that driving is not a right—it is a privilege

which parents grant to teens. Remember this— you as a parent have the right to withhold or cancel your teen’s driving privileges at any time for any reason! So if you are a parent of a teen driver, ask yourself this—“What do I do (or not do) with my teen about driving privileges?”. For more information, go to the previously-mentioned Teen Driver Source website, www.ridelikeafriend.com, or http://teendriving.statefarm.com/. All of these sites have some excellent tips and tools for both teens and parents! The Brown County Safe Communities Program is funded by the U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Ohio Department of Public Safety/Ohio State Highway Patrol-Ohio Traffic Safety Office. The Program is administered by the University of Cincinnati AHEC Program and HEALTH-UC. HEALTHUC is located at 114 East State Street in Georgetown, Ohio.

Letters to the Editor

Reader cheers Medicaid decision Dear Editor, Gov. Kasich has finally put Ohio's 366,000 plus in a much better shape by going ahead with Medicaid. Now how do you suppose he arrived at this decision to fight for Medicaid. Let's see on the one hand we have over 366,000 people with no healthcare that when they get really sick they don't go to the doctor like people with health insurance do. Instead they go to the hospital, where they won't be turned away and end up not paying their bill. Which in turn drives up our expense , those of us who have health insurance. Now on the other hand you have the federal government's Affordable Healthcare Act, also known as Obamacare which will provide $13 billion in federal funding. The way it will work is

the federal government will pay 100 percent, for three years for newly qualified Medicaid recipients. To qualify you must earn less than 138 percent of the federal poverty level. That is $15,856 for a single adult $21,404 for a couple and $32,499 for a family of four. Then on the other hand maybe Gov. Kasich just thought, What Would Jesus Do? In so doing he has helped many of our friends and neighbors. Also he has surprised and pleased many, many Democrats. Now take note of the website to enroll online, but it will take a few weeks to get going. www.benefits.ohio.gov Well that's the way I see it out here in New Harmony. Danny Books Sr.

Over the last thirty years, a debt limit debate has been a time for sober reflection. Raising the debt limit is, by definition, a sign of failure. It means that our government continues to spend more money than it brings in. That’s where we are today. The federal government borrows roughly twenty cents for every dollar it spends. Hitting the debt limit is the equivalent of maxing out on our nation’s credit card, and without an extension, we aren’t able to pay our bills. It’s no secret how we got here— the greatest act of bipartisanship over the last few decades has been Republicans and Democrats alike overpromising and overspending. To keep our nation from going into default, the Congress passed and the President signed a short-term debt limit increase this week that will allow our government to borrow enough money to pay our bills through early February. But how to deal with the debt limit in the longterm remains a thorny issue. There are some who are calling for so-called “clean” debt ceiling increases. They want to raise the debt ceiling, put it on autopilot, and be done with it. Only in Washington would that make sense. A business in Cleveland that spends too much money can’t simply take out another loan. A Cincinnati family whose teenager maxes out the credit card can't just ask the company for a higher limit. Instead, they sit down and take a hard look at the spending that got them in the situation, and they do something about it. Washington, D.C. could learn a lot from the people of Ohio. What drives America’s deficits? Mandatory spending, the part of the budget that includes interest on the debt and vital, but currently unsustainable programs like Social Security,

SENATOR ROB PORTMAN Medicare, and Medicaid. Mandatory spending already makes up two-thirds of the federal budget, and it is rapidly growing. With 10,000 baby boomers retiring every day, Obamacare—a new entitlement—coming online now, and health care costs continuing to rise, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) warns us that spending on health care entitlements will more than double over the next ten years. In fact, CBO projects entitlement programs will be responsible for 100% of growth in future deficits. If we are going to avoid a coming fiscal catastrophe for our children and grandchildren—with higher unemployment, higher taxes, and higher interest rates— we need to act now. History shows us the way. Over the last thirty years, the debt ceiling has inspired Republican and Democratic presidents alike to engage in negotiations, working with Congress in order to come to a bipartisan consensus on how to allow the government to continue to borrow while addressing the underlying problem of overspending. In fact, in the past three decades it is the only thing that has worked: the debate over raising the debt limit has been the only time Congress and the President have reduced spending in any meaningful way—whether it was the Gramm-Rudman cuts in 1985, the Andrews Air Force Base Agreement in 1990, the 1997 Balanced Budget Act, PAYGO rules, or the Budget Control Act of only two years ago. Those negotiations need to begin anew, and they need to begin now so we CONTINUED ON PAGE 5

New Cub Scout Pack organizing in Mt. Orab, leaders needed

Martha B. Jacob/ THE BROWN COUNTY PRESS

Right now we need a Cub Scout leader in Mt. Orab, and I am hopeful that someone will step up to the plate. “Becoming a Cub Scout leader could be one of the most important decision someone can make. They will have the opportunity to share in the lives of young boys and help them stay on the right track in their lives.” The programs in Cub Scouts includes: • Tiger Cubs...for 1st grade boys • Cub Scouts...2nd and

this overspending that caused us to reach the debt limit in the first place. It’s overspending that will cause us to reach it again next year, and no amount of extraordinary measures or financial imagination at Treasury can stop that from happening. Over the past two weeks, the President and Senate Democratic leadership have repeatedly promised that if we raised the debt ceiling, they would negotiate on spending. The ball is now in the President’s court. Now it’s time for the President to finally engage. It’s time for him to come to the table, to meet with us in good faith. A good place to start would be the mandatory spending reforms President Obama has already agreed to in his budget, savings that add up to more than $600 billion over the next decade. And we need to engage in pro-growth tax reform that gets this economy growing again and gets Americans back in a job. The President says he doesn’t want to be held hostage over the debt limit. He’s not; he’s being given an opportunity to lead, using his own proposals. Reaching consensus on these issues will take tough negotiations, and Republicans and Democrats won’t agree on everything. But the American people sent us here to get things done. Using President Obama’s own proposals, let’s take the first steps toward entitlement reform and onto some common ground to break the gridlock in DC and finally do something about our unsustainable spending.

Hannah Fiehrer, district executive for Boy Scouts of America (Dan Beard Council) plans to revitalize Cub Scouts in Mt. Orab. According to Fiehrer since Cub Scout leader Mike McFarland stepped down last year, no one was available to take his place. “We have launched an all-out campaign in Mt. Orab to promote Cub Scouts for boys in first grade to fifth grade” Fiehrer said. “Cub Scouts allows boys to be a part of a worldwide movement that allows them to try new things, provide service to others, build self-confidence and best of all, have a lot of fun with their friends.” Boy Scouts of America reports that boys today are at risk because they are more likely to:

• be diagnosed with learning disabilities; • less likely to enter or graduate from college. Fiehrer added that scouting gives parents an opportunity to provide their children with a safe, structured, nurturing environment. An environment that fosters the initiative to learn and discover, while instilling strong values and morals. “I’ve passed out information to the Mt. Orab schools about joining Cub Scouts, and I hope to set up a meeting with all interested parents. “Cub Scouts allow boys to take part in great programs and activities that allow them to try new things. It helps them build self-confidence and reinforce ethical standards.” Fiehrer added that boys that have been Cub Scouts and moved on to become Boy Scouts are more likely

Sheriff’s Office are giving a fair warning to all partygoers: keep the party off the road. The Brown County Safe Communities Coalition would like to echo that warning and remind you to Drive Sober Or Get Pulled Over! Let’s face it—Halloween is not just for kids, and many ghosts and goblins in Brown County are likely to be adults heading out to bars, restaurants, and private homes to party. And most likely several folks will celebrate with alcoholic beverages. Unfortunately, a fair number of partygoers don’t plan ahead and end up choosing to drive impaired when the party’s over. So for all of the young Trick Or Treaters (and their parents and loved ones) roaming our streets on foot to collect their treasures, the scariest part

of Halloween should really be the fact that there are impaired people driving motor vehicles on those same streets. 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. The numbers are alarming! According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), from 20072011, over half (or 52 percent) of all national traffic deaths on Halloween night involved a drunk driver. There are other very scary things to think about with drunk driving, namely the various consequences of getting arrested for drunk driving. 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. Is all of that really worth the risk? So think about it—we are all at some type of risk 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 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. Make this Halloween a celebration for which the scariest aspects are the young but creepily -cos-

tumed ghosts and goblins who show up at your door to Trick or Treat! For more information on impaired driving, please visit the website www.TrafficSafetyMarketing.gov . The Brown County Safe Communities Program is funded by the U.S. Dept. of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Ohio Dept. of Public Safety/Ohio State Highway Patrol-Ohio Traffic Safety Office, and is locally coordinated by the HEALTHUC and the University of Cincinnati AHEC Program. HEALTH-UC’s office is located at 114 East State Street in Georgetown, Ohio.

Lots of thanks and some information on a new item, HB65 The first thing I would like to do is a thank you to Mike Baker of Georgetown, who took the time to give a hunter safety course last week, so a number of kids and adults could learn about safety and all the other things it takes to be a good hunter. The time that Mike gives to do this course is all voluntary, Mike has not only given his time over the past years to give the course but had to take time and go to classes to become an instructor. The instructor class is given during the week not on the weekends so Mike had to take time from his job to complete the course. So again THANKS MIKE! The next thank you is to the volunteers that helped Mike, his son that helped with the test and Beth Kress that read the test to a group of the younger boys and girls and to Wesley Dixon for his instruction on muzzle loaders, and we don’t want to forget, a special thanks to the Georgetown American Legion Post for the use of the hall for a place to give the course. Thanks to all of the hunters in Ohio that buy hunting license and tags so the ODNR has the money to supply the books and all the other materials to put on this course. The hunter safety course is required for all first time hunters so they can get his or hers first hunting license. If you need to take a hunter safety course or if you are a hunter that was grandfathered in and has held a license and would just like to take the course, you can find where and when one will be given by going to wildohio.com on the internet or by calling 1-800-wildlife, and look for hunter and trapper education or ask for information about a course. Now about the new information, you remember I thanked the Georgetown American Legion Post for the use of the hall. We wouldn’t have a Legion Post to have the course in if

FROM THE DESK OF THE

WORKING HUNTER JEFF KRESS it hadn’t been for our military veterans so A BIG THANKS TO THEM. This brings me to the new information, House Bill 65 (HB65). This bill takes away the requirement for Active Military personnel on leave to have to purchase a deer or turkey tag. As of now all they get is a free hunting license. So please give your support to HB65. It is just a small thing we can do for these men and women that have decided to step forward and

put themselves in harm’s way to protect our freedom so we can enjoy hunting. Now how can you support HB65? You can contact your State House Representative and that would be Doug Green from Brown County. Doug is also the sponsor of this Bill. You can get a letter to Doug in your support of HB65 by email at rep66@ohiohouse.gov or Jennifer.tock@ohiohouse.gov or you can mail a letter of support to Rep. Doug Green at 77 S. High Street Columbus, Ohio 43215 And if you don’t live in Doug’s district please contact your State House Representative in support of House Bill 65.

HEALTH MATTERS TOM CALLAHAN, RPH enough, studies find that we are happier with our choice if we only have two or three items to choose from rather than getting to choose from a list of 50 different choices. Why would this be? The more varied our options are at the beginning, the more likely we will have regret over our decision; sure the chocolate chip is good, but maybe the mint chocolate chip would have been better. Most of us would like to have some say in our treatment plan, we don’t like not having control. Most things don’t end up “going according to plan” and any setbacks can bring up regret and wanting to change plans. Most plans are longterm, it’s important to recognize that there may be set-backs and determine beforehand an adequate time frame to wait before reevaluating the plan. Regret is perhaps the most pernicious of our emotions. It starts slowly, feeding on itself once it is too late to change things. We keep telling ourselves that everything would have been better if only. Unfortunately, we do not have perfect knowledge when we have to make a decision. For all you know that mint chocolate chip ice cream tasted funny. Realize you made the best choice possible with the information you had and try to keep regret at bay.

harvest, sign-up for incentives program It’s the time of year Ohio farmers hit the fields to harvest, driving over the land planted last spring. As combines remove the crop, the land hidden beneath reveals areas that may benefit from conservation treatments to improve the health of the land and next year’s crop. The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) employs professional conservationists who, together with the farmer, evaluate how the land may benefit from conservation treatment. They then develop a conservation plan outlining which conservation treatments, or practices, will improve the land. State Resource Conservationist Mark Smith describes a possible scenario. “When the farmer harvests a field, he or she may notice things like wheel tracks, gullies, or places where the crop didn’t grow well. These may indicate areas of soil compaction, soil erosion, or some other problem. Cover crops, gaining popularity among farmers, can help improve soil health, reduce compaction, tie up nutrients, and improve the amount of water soil can hold.” Dot Harris, Ohio’s Assistant State Conservationist for Programs, manages the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) and explains how EQIP can help with the cost of trying a new conservation practice like cover crops. “With a conservation plan in hand, the farmer applies for EQIP to pay for conservation practices like cover crops, drainage water management, rotational grazing, and much more. The financial assistance pays a part of the cost of trying these things, which may be just what’s needed to make trying something new worthwhile.” When it comes to

cover crops, Dave Brandt, a Fairfield County farmer and cover crop advocate, believes that over time, cover crops actually increase profit and increase the value of farmland. Any eligible agricultural producer can apply for EQIP anytime. Periodically, NRCS reviews applications for those that provide the most environmental benefit and selects those that provide the highest benefit for funding depending on the availability of EQIP funds. Recognizing that it may be challenging to make an appointment with the local NRCS office to develop a conservation plan and apply for EQIP during harvest, those that do apply by November 15 will receive priority over those that apply after that date.

After NRCS selects applications for funding, the conservationist will contact the applicant to sign an EQIP contract describing which conservation practices the farmer agrees to apply, how much NRCS will pay for with EQIP funds, and develop a schedule that the farmer agrees to for applying or installing the conservation practice. After the farmer installs or applies the practice, he or she notifies NRCS. After NRCS verifies that the farmer installed or applied the conservation practice as agreed upon, the conservationist will certify the practice and initiate the payment process. Typically, the farmer agrees to maintain the practice for a given time-period, which is the average time of the practices’ effectiveness.

Acting State Conservationist Michelle Lohstroh says, “We at NRCS are committed to helping Ohio agriculture thrive by advising farmers on ways to improve their natural resources, especially keeping soil, the foundation of agriculture, healthy. Federal farm programs, like EQIP, help farmers pay for the initial cost of conservation because all American enjoy the resulting environmental benefits - cleaner air and water, diverse wildlife and plant populations, and productive soil.” Agricultural producers in Brown County interested in applying for EQIP and conservation planning assistance should call NRCS at (937) 378-4424 to schedule an appointment.

Every day we make decisions whether or not to do something based on our own benefit-risk analysis. We know that driving a car is dangerous, but the benefit we gain from being able to get somewhere quicker outweighs that risk. The surprising thing is that we are extraordinarily poor at making these kinds of analysis. One problem is that we are loss adverse: We worry more about what we might lose than what we could gain. For instance, if I had a coin and said heads you lose $100 tails you win $120, would you take that bet? Most people would need to be able to win at least double what they lose – in the above case $200 – before they would consider the bet. The pain of losing that $100 is greater in our minds than the potential pleasure from winning $120. Another factor is how much control we feel we have over the situation. More people are afraid to fly in an airplane than they are to drive in a car, although statically the airplane is much safer. The difference is people feel like they have control when they are driving, and have no control over the situation when they are flying. The same thing can be seen when a patient is told by a doctor that they have to take this medication then they read the side effects. Contrast that with a person who travels to Mexico for a drug that is banned in the US. Although the risk of the drug banned in the US is greater, it’s ignored because that person feels they are taking charge of their condition instead of handing control over to the doctor. Regret is also a major player in our decisions. Would you rather go to an ice-cream parlor that offered three flavors or someplace that offered 50 different flavors? Almost everyone will say the place with 50 flavors. Strangely

Bethel released from fiscal emergency State auditor delivers award to council

BY KRISTIN ROVER Sun staff

The village of Bethel was officially released from fiscal emergency status Oct. 17. Village council members, along with members of the Financial Planning and Supervision Commission, met during a joint special meeting to announce the news. “This is an important day for the village of Bethel,” Sharon Hanrahan, a member of the commission representing the Ohio Office of Budget and Management, said. The Financial Planning and Supervision Commission, which is made up of state and village officials, was formed after the state declared that the village was in fiscal emergency in 2010. At the time, former mayor James Dick said the village had more than $400,000 in debt across four funds. In December of 2011, Dick announced to council

members that they had make significant process on eliminating the debt and rebuilding their fund balances. Hanrahan said the village has responded to all of the comments and suggestions of the commission and has met all of the requirements necessary to be released from fiscal emergency. “This has been one of the best commissions I've worked with,” Hanrahan said about the village. Hanrahan said village officials were eager to make changes and do whatever was necessary to be removed from fiscal emergency. She said the village officials eliminated fiscal emergency conditions, put into effect a five-year financial recovery plan as well as a five-year forecast and continues to look ahead to potential challenges. Ohio State Auditor Dave Yost attended the meeting to present council members with a certificate to an-

nounce their accomplishment. “I am here to congratulate you,” Yost said during the meeting. “We are very proud of the work you’ve done.” Yost commended village officials for having the courage to dramatically cut expenditures and make tough financial decisions. Yost said one of the most effective ways they corrected their finances was to keep expenditures at 85 percent of their revenue. He encouraged village officials to continue to keep a careful watch on their finances including the monthly and quarterly revenues and expenditures as well as the five-year forecast. “I am confident that that is exactly what you are going to do,” Yost said. Bethel Mayor Alan Ausman thanked Yost for being at the meeting and thanked many of the people involved in getting the village back on track.

John Melvin, director of the Small Business Development Center for the Clermont County Chamber of Commerce, said the summit will feature a variety of topics including data analytics, cyber security, mobile marketing, visual social media, loyalty programs, and more. Speakers at the event include Stuart Aitken with dunhumby USA, Michael Schroeck with IBM and other industry professionals presenting in breakout ses-

sions. “They are going to get business insight into what is available, but more importantly how to effectively utilize it in their space,” Melvin said about what those attending should expect. Melvin said business owners will also be able to see and use the latest technology first hand. “We believe this is going to foster new ideas and assist in strategic planning for companies,” Melvin said.

District tournament performance proves SBC is a hotbed of cross country talent

BY CHRIS CHANEY Sun staff

When you think about Clermont County high school sports, football, basketball, baseball and softball top the list, but maybe they shouldn’t. After all, the sport in which Clermont schools find the most success might be cross country and that is no coincidence. “Cross country is a solid sport in the (Southern Buckeye Conference),” Batavia head coach Dona Braswell said. “Even the years that we go on to regionals as a team doesn’t mean that we even won our league. It seems that every year there’s always at least four teams that come out of our league that go on to regionals and it makes it so that everyone pushes everyone else.” New Richmond head coach Rylan Shebesta echoed her sentiments. “I’m very happy with our league,” Shebesta said. “Our league is pretty good. The competition is really good. One of the things I tried to do every year is schedule races away from our local meets when I started coaching for more competition, but over the past several years, we’ve had some of the better runners in the area in our conference, so it’s better to go to local meets.” That pedigree for success was on display at the district meet at a soggy Voice of America Park on Saturday, Oct. 19 as four teams and seven other individuals advanced to the regional meet. New Richmond was the class of the meet, qualifying both their boys’ and girls’

teams. The girls’ team ran one of their best races of the season, finishing in second place behind Indian Hill. The boys’ team finished in third place behind Taylor and Wyoming in the District A race. “That was our ultimate goal; to get both teams through,” Shebesta said. “I predicted with the guys that we would be anywhere from second to fifth. I knew we could finish second if we ran well, but if we didn’t we could finish fifth and not make it. “With the girls, we were disappointed with second, but when that’s what disappoints you, that means your goals are high. It was a close race, but I didn’t think we ran poorly. We had four girls (set personal records), so I’m happy with where we’re at heading into next week.” Leading the way for the Lions was Bobby Bingham, who finished fourth in his race with a time of 17:19.32. For the girls, Claire Burns kept up her stellar pace, finishing in third place in the District B race with a time of 20:43.21. Taryn Rupp and Paige Anderson finished eighth and ninth, respectively. Other teams advancing to the regionals were the Batavia boys and the Bethel-Tate girls. The Batavia boys were led by Griffin and Hunter Stith. The senior twins finished first and second, respectively. Griffin was the district champion with a 16:48.16 and Hunter was a little ways behind him coming in at 17:11.31. The team finished second behind Indian Hill.

Bethel-Tate’s girls finished third behind New Richmond and Indian Hill in the District B race with Breanna Keyser leading the way with a time of 21:30.93. Among the more impressive individuals to advance were Goshen’s one-two punch of Brittany Clark and Courtney Taylor. Running alongside New Richmond in the District B race, Clark took the district title and Turner finished second. Clark’s time of 20:26.46 was second to only McNicholas’ Catherine Adams’ 20:25.80. For the Goshen boys, Daniel Hulsmeyer will represent them, finishing sixth in the District B race with a time of 17:52.81. Williamsburg’s Roger Thornberry was the lone Clermont County boy in Division III to advance to the regional, finishing in eighth place in the District A heat with a time of 17:46.27. Thornberry will be accompanied by teammate Heather McIntosh who finished 11th in Division III and Felicity-Franklin’s Christina Paskow who finished in eighth. Similarly, in Division I, Milford’s AJ Erdaty will be the lone Clermont native to make his way to the regional thanks to an eighth-place finish in the District B flight with a time of 16:25.50. The regional meet will be held on Oct. 26 at Troy. For more information about the regional meet, such as directions and site managers, log on to ohsaa.org.

TIPS FOR CHILDREN

TIPS FOR ADULTS

• Help your child pick out or make a costume that will be safe. Make it fire proof, the eye holes should be large enough for good peripheral vision. • If you set jack-o-lanterns on your porch with candles in them, make sure that they are far enough out of the way so that kids costumes won't accidentally be set on fire. • Make sure that if your child is carrying a prop, such as a scythe, butcher knife or a pitchfork, that the tips are smooth and flexible enough to not cause injury if fallen on. • Check all of the candy your children bring home with them. • Kids always want to help with the pumpkin carving. Small children shouldn't be allowed to use a sharp knife to cut the top or the face. There are many kits available that come with tiny saws that work better then knives and are safer. It's best to let the kids clean out the pumpkin and draw a face on it, which you can carve for them. • Teaching your kids basic everyday safety such as not getting into cars or talking to strangers, watching both ways before crossing streets and crossing when the lights tell you to, will help make them safer when they are out Trick or Treating.

• Know the route your kids will be taking if you aren't going with them. • The best bet is to make sure that an adult is going with them. If you can't take them, see if another parent or a teen aged sibling can go along. • Know what other activities a child may be attending, such as parties, school or mall functions. • Make sure you set a time that they should be home by. • Make sure they know how important it is for them to be home on time. • Explain to children the difference between tricks and vandalism. Throwing eggs at a house may seem like fun but they need to know the other side of the coin as well, clean up and damages can ruin Halloween. If they are caught vandalizing,make them clean up the mess they've made. • Explain to your kids that animal cruelty is not acceptable. Kids may know this on their own but peer pressure can be a bad thing. Make sure that they know that harming animals is not only morally wrong but punishable by law and will not be tolerated.

Four running for Fayetteville School Board isting debt to ensure that we are spending the least possible.”

BY Martha B. Jacob The Brown County Press

Brian Kleemeyer

Robert Aubry A little over two years ago Robert Aubry ran for Fayetteville-Perry Board of Education. Now Aubry has placed his name back on the ballot in hopes of becoming a board member. “I didn’t make it on to the board of education two year ago,” Aubry said on a questionnaire, “But I am sincerely hoping to make it this time, in November. I made the decision to run again earlier this year and believe I would make a good board member.” Aubry added that he received a lot of votes the first time he ran for the board and he is hopeful he will again, this time around. “My wife and I have four children who all attend Fayetteville-Perry Local Schools,” he said. “I have two sons and two daughters and I am happy that they attend Fayetteville-Perry schools.

have lived in Fayetteville my entire life and have a strong interest in this community and my children’s education.” Aubry said that he too is a Fayetteville-Perry High School graduate. “I believe I can bring a lot to the table as a member of the board,” he added. “I have a lot of knowledge in the construction business and I feel I know what children need when it comes to their education. I also feel like I understand what the people in this community want.” Aubry is a self-employed contractor. He stated that he is pleased

with how well Fayetteville-Perry Local School Districts ranks with all the other schools in Brown County. When asked what improvements or additions he would like to see in the district, he stated, “I would like to see the school board be more open with the public than it currently is. I would also like to see board decisions based on what the majority of the people in the community want for the schools.”

involved in shaping the direction of the school district, since he has had a school aged child. “I made the decision over this past summer that now is the right time for me to run for the board,” Coffman stated on a questionnaire. “My children will spend almost as much time at the school as they will with me, from the age of 6 to 18. As a parent, I want to have as much of an influence as possible with where they are spending a large portion of the years that will shape the rest of their lives.” Coffman stated that he believes Fayetteville is a great place to live, full of individuals that share similar values and beliefs to his own. He believes he will be a great representative for them and their children as a member of the school board. “This is my first time to run for school board,” Coffman said. “I am a Fayetteville-Perry High School graduate and currently three of my four children attend our public schools. I have a vested interest in our success and recognize the impact a school board decision will have on our kids. “As an Information Technology manager, I understand technology and hope to bring that expertise to the board as our district continues to leverage technology to stretch dollars and improve the quality of education.” Coffman was also asked what improvements or additions he would like to see in the district. “I want to help find ways to maximize the dollars we do receive without jeopardizing the high quality of education our school district provides.”, Coffman said. “The teachers’ contract is up for renewal next year and I look forward to the opportunity to make sure our teachers are treated fairly while maintaining our ability to operate the district within a fixed income. I want to accomplish these items while keeping the students that attend Fayetteville-Perry Local School District as the number one priority.”

ter. “I’m a believer in giving back to the community that has supported me,” Holden said in response to a questionnaire. “serving as a school board member is one way I can do that. This school district has a history of operating very effectively and efficiently and I want to continue that tradition. I also had a number of people ask me to continue serving on the board. If I have support like that, I feel that I should step up.” Holden has a son who is currently a senior at Fayetteville-Perry as well as a daughter in eighth grade. He himself is a 1987 graduate of Fayetteville-Perry High School. “Having already served for six years,” Holden continued, “I bring experience to the table. I also have a good understanding of finances. I make decisions based on what’s best for the district, even if I don’t personally like the decision. “I make no decisions based on ‘what’s best for me.’ I ask questions and I have no problem challenging convention.” Holden is a financial advisor with Edward Jones Investments. When asked if he is pleased with where Fayetteville-Perry is in comparison to other schools in the county, he responded with, “I am very pleased with where we are in comparison to other Brown County schools. In my years of working with people in Brown Count, I’ve received numerous compliments about Fayetteville-Perry, (which, of course, is due to the staff, students and supportive community of the school). “However, being ‘pleased’ is a moving target. There is no time to rest once we’re pleased, because conditions are always changing and we have to adapt to those conditions.” “Due to the current lowinterest rate environment,” Holden continued, “I asked for the board’s support in asking our treasurer to review our existing investments. Mrs. Carraher was able to work with our investment providers and negotiate a much higher interest rate than we are getting. “That translates into approximately $1,500 to $2,000 per month in additional revenue for the school. We have begun talking about putting systems in place to review ex-

“I love this community and its schools,” Kleemeyer explained on a questionnaire, “and I am fully vested in the future of both.” Kleemeyer is a 1989 graduate of FayettevillePerry High School and has been married to his wife Teresa for 16 years. The couple have four children, two of which currently attend Fayetteville-Perry schools, two have graduated. “I feel that the board will benefit greatly from my strong business sense and impeccable negotiation and strategic planning skills.” Kleemeyer said. “I am an excellent communicator and an equally skilled listener.” Kleemeyer is a decorated combat veteran of the army and a member of the local VFW organization. He is a corporate real estate manager for a publically traded national retailer. He is responsible for negotiating the leasing and purchasing of new properties as well as renegotiating expiring leases and contracts. When asked if he is pleased with where Fayetteville-Perry stands in comparison to other Brown County Schools, he had this response, “I am very pleased with the current status of FayettevillePerry Schools. We have received a rating of “Excellent” by the ‘State Board of Education’. “Although our state funding has been drastically reduced we have managed to remain efficient with the funds we have. Our student-teacher ratio is among the best in the state and of great importance to a quality education.” He added that he strongly believes that the quality of education, the success of extracurricular activities and the administration, make the Fayetteville-Perry School District second to none. “For these reasons my family and I have remained deeply rooted in the community,” Kleemeyer added. “Students at Fayetteville Schools excel above the majority. I am so proud to see how well the school reflects sportsmanship, teamwork and responsibility.” Kleemeyer stated that Ohio schools across the state are stretching every dollar to stay in the black and Fayetteville-Perry is no exception. “I would like to see our school make only necessary improvements over the next few years and focus on better communication with the community,” he said. Kleemeyer said he feels it is his goal to ensure that the Fayetteville-Perry School District retains its high quality of education, excelling extracurricular activities and excellent administration.

ELECTION 2013 EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO VOTE ON NOVEMBER 5

Five seek a seat on Western Brown School Board BY Martha B. Jacob The Brown County Press Five candidates are running in the November 5 election for two open seats on the Western Brown School Board.

Earlier this year, Tamberlyn Carroll decided that with her 21 years of experience working at Western Brown, in the treasurer’s office, she has the knowledge and insight needed regarding school finances to be a good school board member. “I’ve never run for an office like this before,” Carroll said on a questionnaire submitted to the Brown County Press, “But I have children who both graduated from Western Brown as well as a grandson now, who attends Mt. Orab Elementary School. My husband Tom and I are both Western Brown graduates.” She said she has an invested interest in the district as her grandson moves through the system. When Carroll was asked what she thinks she brings to the table of the Western Brown Board of Education she expressed concerns she has regarding the future of the district’s students. “My first concern will be making sure our students in this district receive the best education they deserve,” Carroll said. “I believe my experience in school finances will assure extreme caution on my part, to assure school monies are being spent in areas most beneficial to the students and school system. “I will listen to all patrons of the Western Brown School District and do everything I can to resolve any problems that are addressed to the school board.” Currently, Carroll is a secretary at Forest Hills School District in the food service department, taking care of nine individual school buildings. Carroll said she feels that Western Brown Schools rank very high compared to all the other school districts located in Brown County. “I am definitely pleased with where Western Brown School District is in comparison to the other Brown County Schools.” On the questionnaire, Carroll was asked what improvements or additions would she like to see in the school district. “I feel it is important to make sure all monies in the district are spent in the areas they should be,” she said. “We must listen to all patrons of our school district and resolve problems as they arise.” Lynette Garrett Lynette Garrett first ran for Western Brown School Board four years ago and is just finishing that term. “I made the decision to run for the board again

because I feel there is still a lot of work to be done,” Garrett explained on a questionnaire. “I am running for the board again because when I was approached four years ago by some individuals and was asked if I would be interested, I knew it was something I wanted to do. My decision to run then, as it is now, was based on concerns for the students at Western Brown. “I felt the district had room for growth and thought that I could offer assistance with my many years as a teacher.” Garrett said she feels that the board can accomplish this goal while building and maintaining an environment where all individuals would feel safe, respected and important. Garret has one child in the district, currently attending Mt. Orab Elementary as well as three other children who have already graduated from WB. “I believe I bring a lot to the district,” Garrett said, “I have been a teacher for 30 years and I feel I can see things from many different perspectives, as a community member living in the district, as a parent of four children and as a teacher who has been involved in the day-to-day operations of a school. “I am also able to bring an understanding of the administrative perspective as my husband has been an administrator at various levels for 25 years now.” “Being on the current board allows me to bring experience, especially in light of the changes we are facing from the legislature, that others may not be able to.” Garrett stated that for many months the changes such as the 3rd Grade Reading Guarantee, Common Core and funding issues have been at the forefront of education. “We have been charged with dealing with all of the changes that affect our students on a daily basis,” she continued. “All of these drastic changes will not be new to me. In all cases, the kids are my number one priority. I will do what is best for all kids.” Garrett said she is pleased with Western Brown’s direction it is moving in regarding other schools in Brown County. She says there are great things going on in the dis-

trict. “I am a competitive person and I want to provide the best possible experience for our kids,” Garrett added. “I not only want us to be the best in Brown County, I would like to be the best in southern Ohio and in the state of Ohio. Tracy O’Hara Western Brown Local School District Board of Education candidate Tracy O’Hara said that she decided to run for the board after learning that current board member Mike Kirk was not going to run. “I chose to run for the board because the quality of our educational system is so very important. Our schools are a direct reflection of our community and in order for our community to grow and thrive, we must be willing to invest our time, our effort and our resources into the students who will be the future citizens of this area. “By becoming a member of the school board, I hope to help the district in providing students an education that will ensure a brighter tomorrow for us all.” O’Hara currently has two daughters in the district that attend Mt. Orab Elementary. Although she is a graduate from Glen Este High School, her husband, Tim, is a 1995 graduate of Western Brown. “We chose to make Brown County our home after Tim got out of the Marine Crops,” O’Hara said. “I have lived in this district for over a decade and am as committed to this community as if I had been raised here.” O’Hara said “I look forward to working with others in order to get things accomplished for the best interest of our kids. “I am prepared to work hard and help the rest of the board meet any challenges head on. I also believe that I am very approachable, which is important because a board of five members can’t be expected to have all the answers.” O’Hara is a licensed real estate agent and is currently attending college full time at Northern Kentucky University. She is scheduled to graduate this spring with a bachelor of arts degree in English literature with a concentration in pre-law. “I am also the secretary

of Mt. Orab Investment Corp, which develops commercial property in the area and currently owns/operates Mt. Orab LaRosa’s,” O’Hara added. “In comparison to the other school districts in Brown County,” she began, “I think we are blessed to have a district like we do and we should be very proud of it.” Teresa Wallace Teresa Wallace is hoping to join the Western Brown Local School District Board of Education when voters take to the polls on November 5. Wallace said in a questionnaire that she has wanted to run for school board for several years but believed it was important that she be able to fully commit herself to the position. “I believe that now is my time to make that commitment,” Wallace said. “During the campaign for the Western Brown Local School District Levy in the fall of 2012, I realized then, that people of Western Brown District wanted and needed information regarding the operations of the school district and many times this information was difficult to obtain.” Wallace stated that she was instrumental in forming the Western Brown Community Group which had the sole purpose of providing residents with as much information as possible regarding operations of the school. “My goal in working with this group wasn’t just to pass a levy for the district but to ensure that the voters would have access to the district’s financial information,” Wallace said. “I wanted that so that voters could make an educated decision regarding the future of the Western Brown Local School District. “I realize the need for clear, honest communications which is why I want to be a Western Brown School Board member.” Wallace stated that she is a 1979 graduate of Western Brown and currently has a granddaughter and several nieces and nephews that attend Western Brown. “I have a BA in business administration with a major in human resources,” she said. “As a human resources manager, I have worked with hundreds of employees and I realize the impor-

Teresa M. Wallace Candidate for Western Brown BOE

tance of working as a team, making tough decisions and providing leadership to accomplish important tasks.” Wallace added that she believes schools should be operated in a businesslike manner with well-defined strategic, operational and financial plans in place and a team that ensures that these plans are adhered to by all board and staff members. “I believe that my education and experience will be a valuable asset to the Western Brown community,” Wallace said. Robert White Robert White said he decided to run for Western Brown School Board after spending time on the committee to put a levy back on a special ballot. “As I considered my decision, I was encouraged by family support and by several others, whose opinion I respect tremendously,” White said on a questionnaire. “I am very concerned about our children’s education today and I mean complete education! It is important that we prepare our kids with wellrounded educations while insuring they master the three R’s, (and yes, I know that comment dates me.)” He said that as strong as he is on quality education in the classroom and preparing children to compete in world today, he added that he is also extremely concerned about students ability to participate in “extras”. “If elected, I can assure voters that I will do everything possible to maintain our quality education as well as maintain full busing and extras at a

price that all can afford.” White stated that he served on the Bethel-Tate School Board for a four year term. “I currently have three children in this school district which I have helped raise in my home for 10 years,” White said, “I myself graduated from the district in 1964. “I feel I bring years of dealing with problem solving to the table. I have worked with many companies in the private sector in dealing with meeting budgets, finding alternate sources of funding and dealing with complex tax issues.” He describes himself as someone who has a “cando” attitude that has driven him to accomplish the difficult. “When I believe strongly in an issue,” he continued, “I can be a “pain in the neck” to those who differ, however, I am a team player and once the vote is taken, I will do everything I can to support the outcome.” White said he is also open to new methods, technology and innovation but is one who insists on keeping the great old ideas that made the nation strong. “I am a CPA and have owned my own firm for over 30 years which has provided tax, accounting and audit services to our clientele,” White added. Improvements in the district that White would like to see happen include improving the overall quality of education for all students no matter what their ‘skill set.’ “I have a deep concern about identifying ‘high risk’ students who are faced with home situations that are extremely challenging,” he said.

Meet your Western Brown school board candidates The Western Brown Education Association (WBEA) will be hosting a "Meet the Candidate Night" on Wednesday, October 30. It will be held in the Western Brown High School cafeteria and will begin at 7 p.m. All five candidates for WBLS School Board have been invited and will be present to discuss their vision for the Western Brown Local School District. The event is open to the public.

THE GREAT WOMAN I n II Kings 4:8-37 we have the story of a great woman. It says: “And it fell on a day, that Elisha passed to Shunem, where was a great woman; and she constrained him to eat bread: And so it was, that as oft as he passed by, he turned in thither to eat bread.” This woman’s name is never given, she is just referred to as the Shunammite. Nevertheless, God took note of her and her actions. Each time she saw the prophet and his servant passing by, she would say: Hey, come on and have lunch with us. So it became a custom that every time they passed by they would stop and eat. Look at the next few verses: “And she said unto her husband, Behold now, I perceive that this is an holy man of God, which passeth by us continually. Let us make a little chamber, I pray thee, on the wall; and let us set for him there a bed, and a table, and a stool, and a candlestick: and it shall be, when he cometh to us, that he shall turn in thither.” Evidently Elisha had not said anything to her, but from their conversations she realized he was a man of God. It was then she decided to take action and asked her husband to build Elisha a place to rest while on his journeys; and he did. To me this infers that this husband and wife had a very good relationship. This woman, whom God called great, seems to be a woman of great character, great perception, and a great caring persnonality. God does not exaggerate. When He said she was a great woman, she was! There is a Bible principal which says that you can not out give God. In Luke 6:38 it tells us: “Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.” God would not let her give and not do something in return, expecially when it pertained to the things of God. Read Matthew 10:40-42. She said: “...I perceive that this is an holy man of God...” That is the reason she did what she could to make Elisha journeys easier. Recognizing this woman’s good deeds, Elisha told his servant: “...Call this Shunammite...Say now unto her, Behold, thou hast been careful for us with all this care;

what is to be done for thee? wouldest thou be spoken for to the king, or to the captain of the host? And she answered, I dwell among mine own people.” In other words: I don’t need anything. But it did not matter whether she needed something or not, God was still going to give her something simply because He will not allow someone to out give Him! So Elisha said to his servant: “...What then is to be done for her?...” Gehazi , his servant, answered: “...Verily she hath no child, and her husband is old.” I don’t think she had said anything to Gehazi. I think that he had just observed that she had no children and that because her husband was old there wasn’t much chance of her having one. So in verse 15 Elisha said: “...Call her...” and when she came he told her: “...About this season, according to the time of life, thou shalt embrace a son...” She said: “...Nay, my lord, thou man of God, do not lie unto thine handmaid.” Her response shows that she had not made a request but that privately she had longed for a child for quite a while. Elisha has touched a very tender spot in her life. In her society, a married woman without children was looked down on or pitied by other women, therefore, she would be embarrassed by not having a child. Well, it came to pass that she had a son, but sometime later the child became sick and died. The woman desperately sought out Elisha and persuaded him to return with her. The child was brought back to life and in verse 37 it says that she: “...took up her son, and went out.” This woman was not only a woman of great character, great perception, and a great caring, she was most importantly a woman of great faith! Could it be that that was the reason God considered her to be a great woman? It very well could be!

drug issue. “One of the things we’re trying to do is get it coordinated with other states, because people cross state lines all the time.”, he said. DeWine added that 25 doctors had been “put out of business” because they were “basically drug dealers running pill mills.” He said that the problem is continuing to get worse as the number of accidental drug deaths continues to climb. He then invited Ohio residents to join the fight. “Law enforcement cannot do this alone. It has to take the community. And what I would encourage the community to do is just get mad about it. Say ‘we’re not going to put up with this any more. We’re not going to see our kids die because of

heroin or prescription drugs.” DeWine encouraged anyone who had concerns or questions to call his office for help at (800)282-0515. He also pointed out that his office is helping local law enforcement agencies fight the drug problem in their communities. “We have agents that work with local drug task forces all over the state.”, DeWine said, but added that law enforcement alone is only part of the solution. “I think we have to have more availability of treatment. It’s expensive, I understand that, but we have to do that. Local communities also have to work on prevention. And the third thing is law enforcement.”, DeWine said. He then spoke about other ways that his office is helping smaller, local police and

sheriff’s departments. “We provide advanced training. We bring advanced training simulators right to that police department or sheriff’s office. That’s never been done before.”, DeWine said. He then spoke about improvements to DNA testing. “When I became Attorney General, it took on average 125 days to get DNA back to local law enforcement, today we can get it back in 22 days. If we have to, we can get it back in 24 hours.” DeWine said that expert help at crime scenes is also just a phone call away for local law officers. “If there is a homicide tonight in Mt. Orab at 2 a.m., the police can pick up the phone and our BCI agent will be there to work the crime scene within an hour. We are there for local law enforcement.”, DeWine said.

School shooting drill at Southern Hills CTC CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 The discussion centered around the idea that students and staff who had the opportunity should go to the near-

killed. “It gives our students and staff additional options. It’s not fighting, it’s taking countermeasures.”, Rabold said.

Full bussing to return to WB CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 2013-14 school year. Superintendent Peggy McKinney said that she is very happy for the community regarding these changes. “I know this has been a real hardship for our students, parents and community and I am very pleased we are able to bring our bussing back,” McKinney said. “With the improved five-year fiscal forecast and support from the board of education it has become one of the top priorities here at Western Brown.” Taylor also expressed how pleased he is that the district will be able to resume busing students residing within five miles. “The past couple of years have presented our district with a level of budget uncertainty we have never faced before,” Taylor said. “We will continue to be strategic in how we do business while always looking for innovated ways to stretch the tax dollars of Mt. Orab and Hamersville residents. The restoration of a service that is so vital for many families is something we are excited to once again be able to provide.” In other district news, the Western Brown School Board met on October 18. During the meeting, Taylor and Mark Wiley, president of Kastle Solar and Wind, spoke about the solar energy project planned in the district. The board has been in negotiations with Kastle and thought that construction for the project should have already begun. “We have run into two major snags in regards to the capital accumulation that needs to happen,” Wiley began, “both snags are subject to legislation, unfortunately, “One issue at the state

level, and this is probably the most crucial one, in 2008 the state passed a ‘renewable portfolio of standard’. The intent of that piece of legislation was to incentivize the development of renewal power across the state.” Wiley explained that this past February Senator of Ohio District 8, Bill Seitz, introduced a bill into his PUCO (Public Utilities Commission of Ohio) sub committee, to repeal, bury and weaken that standard. “If that piece of legislation goes through as it is written today,” Wiley said, “solar development in Ohio will stop, it won’t happen. “The reason is, because, the capital that seeks to find a return on solar investments will go to other states that have a more robust renewable portfolio standard in states like New Jersey or New York.” Wiley told the board that he has been to the state house on two occasions and he has spoke to Senator Joe Uecker, and let him know what this solar project will mean to the school and how that piece of legislation is holding things up. “Joe has been a champion for us on that committee,” Wiley said. “So he is of the opinion, as of last week, that it won’t come out of committee, but it’s still not dead. If it does go through we can’t count on that revenue streaming back to us. They’ll go to another state where they can make their return.” Taylor also updated the board on the sidewalk project at the schools and discussed creating special crosswalks for students. He talked about improvement programs he is involved with regarding hazardous materials and he made a clarification in the transportation handbook regarding accident procedures. He also talked about a new

plan where students using busses for field trips would each be asked to pay a very small part for the transportation. In other business at the meeting, resident Amanda Downing, the mother of a Western Brown High School student spoke briefly to the board about its policy on facial piercings. “I contemplated the last couple of weeks on what to say to you to convince you to change this rule and I’ve done a lot of research. “My daughter was recently transferred to Georgetown School because I was told that if she did not remove her nose ring that she would be suspended.” Downing went on to plead her case on behalf of her daughter. She explained that her daughter had just recently had her nose pierced and could not leave the nose ring out during school hours or it would grow shut, explaining that it will take a year to heal completely. She stated that nose piercings, navel piercings, and tattoos were not necessarily a sign that a child is bad and gets into a lot of trouble like many people think. “There are more important issues to worry about than her appearance,” Downing added, “like her education, drugs in the schools and bullying. The last thing that anyone should be worried about is her little nose piercing.” The board assured Downing that they would review the policy and thanked her for bringing it to their attention. Also during the meeting a representative from the Monsanto Fund, Matt Stump, presented a check for $10,000 to Western Brown Schools from the America’s Farmers Grown Rural Education. “Western Brown was

nominated by seven local farmers in this area to receive this $10,000 grant,” Stump said. “What Growing Rural Education is all about is about Monsanto giving back to rural education and being able to help them further their education in ways that may not have been possible without a little extra help, so, this is an opportunity for us to help them, especially in math and science.” The Monsanto Fund is a non-profit organization dedicated to strengthening the farm communities where farmers and Monsanto Company employees live and work. According to Jina Bohl, curriculum director at Western, the grant funds will be used for the purchase of Ipads for the math classes at the school. In other business, the board approved the following items: • a list of county substitute teachers and county substitutes aides; • sub drivers/sub bus aides including Jill Decker and Randall Smith; • approve Cecelia Schwartz as cheerleading coach; • approve Lori Gavula volunteer cheerleading coach; • approve Jarrod McGinnis as freshman girls basketball coach; • approve Shelly Ernst and Michelle Wilson as Title I Parapro, first grade intervention services; • approve Zack Yelton as bus garage intern; • approve Shawn Weatherspoon as sub custodian; • approve Kim O’Hara for the middle school cafeteria duty (4-hour position); • approve the hazard communication program; • approve several field trips; • approve the 5-year forecast as presented.

textbook will stop a .45 caliber handgun round. Stopped it cold. It’s important that we give information like that to our kids so they can be prepared to act for their own safety.” Beth Nevel, Brown County Emergency Management Agency Director, said that discussion of a potential problem ahead of time can save time...and ultimately save lives. “They are working out coordination of response efforts, and that was the total intent of this drill, to bring the school, the dispatch center and the responders to problem solve at situation that will hopefully never occur.”, Nevel said. “When we discuss and problem solve what our expectations are and what will happen in reality will help us respond in such situations.” SHCTC Superintendent Kevin Kratzer said he was very pleased with how the drill turned out. “You are seeing a years work come together here. I have no doubt that we’ve made the school safer for our kids and staff.”, Kratzer said. “I’m really glad our board took the lead in moving to

the ALICE model because I believe it does give the kids and staff more options. I’m more comfortable giving the people the ability to make decisions than to make them sitting ducks.” He added that while school security must be discussed and considered, “A school is still the safest place your kid can be during the day.”. Kratzer also praised the work and commitment of his staff. “They treat the students like they are their own children. When you think about it from that perspective, you get a pretty good idea of what they would do to protect them.” Rabold said that communication and prior planning are the keys to successful school security. “By sharing this, we have a better understanding of what our expectations are of ourselves and our responding partners in the public safety arena.”, Rabold said. “School security is not just a one dimensional aspect of the school. It’s a multidisciplinary approach and we need to have all of our partners involved in this.”

G’town life squad to merge with FD CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 “We haven’t officially signed anything over yet,” Ridner added, “but we’re working with Georgetown Administrator Jeremy German to get everything in place. All our banking accounts, and a lot of other things will have to be transferred.” Ridner said that all of the volunteers with the squad want is to help people as she does. “This is what I do,” Ridner said with a smile. “I have also driven a school bus for Georgetown School District for over 30 years, but I feel that is was God’s plan to put me here to help people in emergency situations. That’s what life is about.” Ridner said there are currently 28 volunteers and 2 drivers on the squad, all of whom are dedicated to what they do. “We used to have to hold fundraisers all the time to try and keep things going,” Ridner said. “We operated a food booth at the tractor pulls for many years, we sold pictures, had yard sales, whatever it took. Now that this merger is about to happen, I see our squad progressively getting better and better, and I look forward to being part of the process.” Chief Rockey said during a recent interview that he hoped to offer the staff of the current Life Squad some extended training and that by

working together, the two departments can be strengthened. “Through streamlining services with the fire department, the police department, public works and the life squad,” Rockey said, “this village will strengthen its service to the community.” He added that the merger would place the squad under the Georgetown Fire Department which would ensure new guidelines would be put in place for extensive training. He also said he plans to begin recruiting new EMT’s.

Chainsaw Safety Class Offered at Hocking Tech As we move into fall there will be lots of firewood cut. You may want to take advantage of a golden opportunity to brush up on chainsaw safety, or learn new techniques for both experienced and beginners. The class will be taught at Hocking Technical College on Saturday, November 16, and the deadline to register is November 12. This is a full day of training with most of the day being hands-on. I have included the contact information below in the Dates to Remember. Forage Toxicity Issues with Frosts I have talked about this several times over the years in the newspapers and on the radio, however I still run into people that are not aware of some of the dangers during a drought or when we have frost regarding forages and grazing. With the light frost we saw in some areas over the weekend, and forecast for below freezing temperatures this week, I think this is a good review. The following is from the Oct. 14 CORN newsletter and the OSU Extension Forage Specialist, Mark Sulc. We have had a beautiful fall so far, but Jack Frost will be visiting us soon. Now is the time to finish harvesting and grazing several forage species that can be extremely toxic soon after a frost. Those include primarily annual grasses in the sorghum family and other closely related species that contain compounds called cyanogenic glucosides, which are converted quickly to prussic acid (i.e. hydrogen

Other species that can develop toxic levels of prussic acid after frost are Johnsongrass, shattercane, chokecherry, black cherry, indiangrass, and elderberry. It is always a good idea to check areas where wild cherry trees grow after a storm and pick up and discard any fallen limbs to prevent animals from grazing on the leaves and twigs. The potential toxicity after frost varies by species. Sudangrass varieties are low to intermediate in cyanide poisoning potential, sudangrass hybrids are intermediate, sorghum-sudangrass hybrids and forage sorghums are intermediate to high, and grain sorghum is high to very high and is most likely to be toxic after a frost. Piper sudangrass has low prussic acid poisoning potential. Pearl millet and foxtail millet have very low levels of cyanogenic glucosides and rarely cause toxicity. Animals can die within minutes if they consume forage with high concentrations of prussic acid. Prussic acid interferes with oxygen transfer in the blood stream of the animal, causing it to die of asphyxiation. Before death, symptoms include excess salivation, difficult breathing, staggering, convulsions, and collapse. Ruminants are more susceptible to prussic acid poi-

soning than horses or swine because cud chewing and rumen bacteria help release the cyanide from plant tissue. Plants growing under high nitrogen levels or in soils deficient in phosphorus or potassium will be more likely to have high prussic acid poisoning potential. After frost damage, cyanide levels will likely be higher in fresh forage as compared with silage or hay. This is because cyanide is a gas and dissipates as the forage is wilted and dried for making silage or dry hay. Young, rapidly growing plants of species that contain cyanogenic glucosides will have the highest levels of prussic acid. After a frost, cyanide is more concentrated in young leaves and tillers than in older leaves or stems. New growth of sorghum species following a non-killing frost is dangerously high in cyanide. Pure stands of indiangrass can have lethal levels of cyanide ifvthey are grazed when the plants are less than 8 inches tall. Grazing Precautions The following guidelines will help you avoid danger to your livestock this fall when feeding species with prussic acid poisoning potential: * Do not graze on nights when frost is likely. High levels of the toxic compounds are produced within hours after a frost, even if it was a light frost. * Do not graze after a killing frost until plants are dry, which usually takes 5 to 7 days. * After a non-killing frost, do not allow animals to graze for two weeks because the plants usually

Colon Cancer may be triggered by mouth bacteria The body's gastrointestinal system is made up of millions of bacteria. They help us digest food. In healthy people there is a delicate balance between "good" and "bad" bacteria. Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of death from cancer in the United States. Two new studies suggest that a type of bacteria typically found in the mouth and also present in the gut may trigger colon cancer by stimulating the immune response and turning on cancer genes. Both of these studies were published in the August 14th online issue of the JournalCell Host & Microbe. They focus on a genus of bacteria called Fusobacteria, particularly F.

DR. MICHELLE HECK nucleatum. In the first study, Fusobacteria was found in benign tumors that may become cancerous over time. It may contribute to the early stages of tumor formation. The researchers sped up tumor formation in mice by summoning myeloid cells, a type of immune cell, which penetrate tumors and trigger inflammation that leads to cancer. In the second study researchers found that Fu-

sobacteria stick to a molecule that lives on the cell surface and then invade colorectal cancer cells. The molecule is called Fusobacterium adhesin A (FadA), and it switches on genes that spur cancer growth. Tissue from healthy individuals had much lower levels of FadA than tissue from patients with colorectal cancer. Yiping Han of Case Western Reserve University School of Dental Medicine said, "We showed that FadA is a marker that can be used for the early diagnosis of colorectal cancer and identified potential therapeutic targets to treat or prevent this common and debilitating disease."

contain high concentrations of toxic compounds. * New growth may appear at the base of the plant after a non-killing frost. If this occurs, wait for a hard, killing freeze,then wait another 10 to 14 days before grazing the new growth. * Don’t allow hungry or stressed animals to graze young growth of species with prussic acid potential. * Graze or greenchop sudangrass only after it is 15 to 18 inches tall. Sorghum-sudangrass should be 24 to 30 inches tall before grazing. Never graze immature growth or short regrowth following a harvest or grazing (at any time of the year). * Do not graze wilted plants or plants with young tillers. * Green-chopping the frost-damaged plants will lower the risk compared with grazing directly, because animals be less likely to selectively graze damaged tissue. However, the forage can still be toxic, so feed greenchop with great caution after a frost. * Always feed greenchopped forage of species containing cyanogenic glucosides within a few hours, and don’t leave greenchopped forage in wagons or feedbunks overnight. Hay and silage are safer Prussic acid content in the plant decreases dramatically during the hay drying process and the forage should be safe once baled as dry hay. The forage can be mowed anytime after a frost if you are making hay. It is very rare for dry hay to contain toxic levels of prussic acid. However, if the hay was not properly cured and dried before baling, it should be tested for prussic acid content before feeding to livestock. Forage with prussic acid potential that is stored as silage is generally safe to

feed. To be extra cautious, wait 5 to 7 days after a frost before chopping for silage. If the plants appear to be drying down quickly after a killing frost, it is safe to ensile sooner after a frost. Delay feeding silage for 8 weeks after ensiling. If the forage likely contained high levels of cyanide at the time of chopping, hazardous levels of cyanide might remain and the silage should be analyzed before feeding. What about frosted alfalfa, clover, and grasses? Other common forages such as alfalfa, clovers, and cool-season perennial grasses do NOT produce toxic compounds after a frost. However, the risk of bloat is higher when grazing alfalfa, clovers, or other legumes one or two days after a hard frost. The bloat risk is highest when grazing pure legume stands, and least when grazing stands having mostly grass. The safest management is to wait a few days after a killing frost before grazing pure legume stands - wait until the forage begins to dry from the frost damage.

It is also a good idea to make sure animals have some dry hay before being introduced to lush fall pastures that contain significant amounts of legumes. Dates to Remember October 28 - Brown Co.

Once again this winter, utility customers facing a disconnection or needing to restore their service have a chance to remain connected with a one-time payment of $175. On Sept. 11, the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO) issued its annual Winter Reconnection Order. The Order, which went into effect Monday, will provide this opportunity for consumers until April 15, 2014. Some of the guidelines include: Electric and/or natural gas service can be restored or maintained by making the one-time payment. If customers owe past due amounts on their electric AND natural gas bills, the $175 can be divided between both utilities. For customers who have been disconnected, payment of a reconnection fee of no more than $36 can also be required. If the utility’s reconnection fee is higher, the balance may be billed to the customer the following month.

Customers must sign up for a payment plan to pay any remaining past-due balance on their utility bill. Households with incomes at or below 175 percent of the federal poverty guidelines ($41,213 gross annual income for a household of four) may use funds provided through the Emergency Home Energy Assistance Program (EHEAP) to pay make the one-time payment. These funds are available through local community action agencies. Former Percentage of Income Payment Plan

(PIPP Plus) and Graduate PIPP Plus customers can use the Winter Reconnection Order to re-enroll or continue participation in the program. Those customers must pay the balance of any missed PIPP Plus or Graduate PIPP Plus payments that are more than $175 by the due date of the next bill. The $175 can be used to establish electric or natural gas service instead of the required security deposit. If the deposit is more than $175, the remaining balance will be added to the next month's bill.

Make your garden a whimsical one BY Faye Mahaffey Master Gardner Volunteer

B R O A D S H E E T E V E N

Who says you can’t decorate your garden with things that are beautiful (besides flowers)? Flower gardens are magical places. Walking through a garden should stir your imagination, inspire you, make you laugh and bring you joy. Definition: whimsy 1) Capricious humor or disposition, extravagant, fanciful, or excessively playful expression 2) an odd or fanciful notion. One of my good friends decided to add a few mannequins to her ornamental grass bed. These brightly colored additions to the landscape always bring a smile to her garden visitors’ faces. Does garden sculpture always have to be serious? A few years ago I went on a “treasure hunt” in our barn and we created a delightful garden creature out of an old shovel, spade and pitchfork and miscellaneous spare parts. This can be a great way to find new life for objects that might otherwise find themselves in a landfill! I have an old radiator from our John Deere M that is waiting to be transformed into the body of a scarecrow for the vegetable garden. Repurposed items such as bathtubs, toilets and cinder blocks are great for containers. As you walk through my gardens you will find some unexpected treasures such as concrete balls, colored glass globes, cobalt blue bottle trees, and several metal sculptures. I am lucky enough to have 6 acres to spread my “whimsy” around in different gardens. As gardeners we have to know when enough is enough. Are you conjuring up a mental picture of someone’s yard that has a few too many garden gnomes or swan planters? The plan is to infuse your garden with color and light-

heartedness, not drown it! As the lush colors of summer start to turn brown, the whimsical “hardscapes” in my landscape take on new life. My newest garden sculpture consists of old musical instruments from my classroom. I can’t wait to see how the snow looks on my trombone. My gardens received their first frost on Sunday morning. I can’t remember when the first frost has been so late. The walnuts have been crashing onto the roof of the house and have basically terrorized Kitty. I have been gathering black walnuts for a friend and actually donned a hard hat for protection. Have you brought in the plants you wanted to save from the first frost? I am hoping that some of the catnip survived (so is Kitty). I hope to plant up a pot for the winter tomorrow. If you are interested in

learning more houseplants plan on attending the November 21st gardening seminar at the Fincastle campus of Southern State Community College. This seminar will focus on choosing plants and containers to fit your environment, general care of houseplants and common problems. All seminars are free and open to the public and are held in the library from 6 - 7:30 p.m. A Master Gardener Volunteer will be at the Georgetown OSUE office on Wednesdays from 1:00 p.m. until 3:00 p.m. if you would like to stop by with a gardening question or problem.

Broncos run away with the win BY Brandon Barb The Brown County Press After senior quarterback Devyn Wood was taken out of the game with a shoulder injury, it seemed as if the Western Brown Broncos were going to have a hard time against the Amelia Barons on Oct. 18. After all, Wood has been averaging 359 passing yards and 3.5 touchdowns a game -plus Bronco backup Quarterback Eli Crall is a freshman with little experience. "The team realized that it was part of the game," Western Brown Head Coach Evan Dreyer said. "We’ve had players go out and others step in before, and this was no different." The outcome was the same as in all the other games this season...a Bronco win. The final score was 34-7. Wood was taken out early in the second quarter after being hit and landing on his right (throwing) shoulder in the first. Before that, the Broncos offense was only able to put six points on the board. Wood was 5 of 14 with 52 yards on the night. But the Broncos were still able to score, primarily using their run game for the first time this season. The emphasis on the running game gave Crall, some opportunities to throw a few long balls down the field because the Barons were concentrating on the run.

"Our offensive mindset is always in attack mode but that changed when Devyn got hurt," Dreyer said. "We didn’t know how Eli was going to play, but it was one of those things that our offense had to come together while our defense was playing extremely well. Our looks weren’t different but our running needed to step up." During his first real varsity experience, Crall went 8 for 13 for 143 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions. “I think he played really well. Throughout the game his confidence and overall game management improved,” Dreyer said. “He had a calm attitude about going in, and the offensive line helped him out a lot. Its exciting to see him get some experience and improve.” The Bronco offense has been pass heavy for the majority of the season, so their run game has been quiet for the most part. Against Amelia, the Broncos gained 200 yards on the ground and three rushing touchdowns. Western Brown sophomore Eean Hornung ran for 146 yards and two touchdowns -- he also had 55 receiving yards. Junior Nick Osborne rushed for 51 yards and one touchdown. “Our two backs did great things and made sure our offense kept improving. Eean broke a long run late

in the game to help Eli out,” Dreyer said. Hornung broke a 75 yard run which resulted in one of his touchdowns. Dreyer also said it was nice to see the offensive line get a taste of success with the run game. The Bronco defense helped keep the pressure off of the offense by holding Amelia to seven points and causing six turnovers - with three interceptions and three fumble recoveries. The interceptions came from senior Justin Longbottom, junior Josh Young and Senior Michael Marlow. Senior David Ellis also had two sacks, and senior Derrick McIntosh had one sack as well. “The defense played unbelievable. They got turnovers, made stops and put our offense in great position. They were out there a lot due to our lack of success on offense, but they did well,” Dreyer said. “It was exciting to see our defense attack and play to their potential.” Western Brown has improved to 8-0 on the season as they move forward to take on the two teams who gave the Broncos their only losses last season, Batavia and Norwood. Both games will be at home. Dreyer said that Wood’s shoulder should be ready to go for their next game against Batavia on Oct. 25.

The Eastern Lady Warrior soccer team fell to the Lynchburg Clay Mustangs Oct. 22, by a score of 0-3. The Lady Warriors were eliminated from the tournament after the loss, but Head Coach Sara Koehler said she is still very proud of how the girls played. The Lady Warriors were plagued with injuries this

season, with two players out against Lynchburg. Koehler feels this outing against the Lady Mustangs was the best the Lady Warriors have played against them all year. She feels her team was well rested for the game, and is very proud of their efforts. When asked about next year, Koehler was optimistic. She said, “I'm looking forward to next season

with a good number of upper classmen,” moving up in the ranks. The Lady Warriors varsity soccer team had three members awarded with “2013 All Conference Player Awards” going out to, Courtney Belmont, Alex Davis, and Kayla Tomlin. Tomlin also tied a school record when she scored six goals in one game against the North Adams Green Devils.

Spirits were high for the Western Brown boys soccer team heading into their game against Indian Hill, as the Broncos had won the first sectional sectional tournament match in program history a few days beforehand. The 10 seed Broncos had beaten 6 seed New Richmond in the second round of the Cincinnati Division II tournament 2-1, which led to the game against 1 seed Indian Hill. “It was a very emotional win for us,” Western Brown Head Coach Kyle Fender said. “New Richmond brought their game, and we brought our best as well. We focused on conditioning all year and that helped as we scored two goals in the last 18 minutes. We had some key players step up and had their best game of the year.” Western Brown played the Indian Hills Braves tough for most of the first half. The Broncos challenged the bigger and faster Braves by stopping numerous drives with a strong, tight defense but once the first goal was scored by Indian Hill it was as if the flood gates opened. The final score was 60, but the boys in gold and brown did show signs of life even though the scoreboard didn’t reflect it. In the end, the Braves proved to be too big a challenge for the Broncos. “I’m very proud that we earned the right to be here,” Fender said. “We beat the number one team in the league to get to this point, even though we didn’t get the result or showing we wanted. But we take a great deal of pride being in the first sectional final in our program history.”

The team ended the year with a record of 107-1 and they performed well in the tournament, so next year Fender hopes to build upon the success with 15 returning players. “In both games our guys carried themselves well. We played hard, and as best we could. We played how we wanted to represent our school,” Fender said. He continued, “It’s been an outstanding ride this season. We set many school records, among them most wins in a season. We took a major step in the right direction for this program, and hopefully we carry the momentum to future seasons.” The year was arguably the Broncos’ best with their first tournament win and appearance in a final, but there is still room for improvement. With 15 players returning next season the Broncos look to be very competitive in the years to come. The younger players on the team got some key experience throughout the year, that will benefit them in the years to come. Fender said he wants to keep building soccer within the community, as well as strengthening his team with up and coming players. “I’m very proud of the way the guys played all year. It was a lot of fun to be a part of,” Fender said. Western Brown senior Jon Hayes had 17 goals on the season and 12 assists. Fellow senior Nick Kuttler scored 20 goals and have five assists this year.

The Lady Rocket volleyball won the first sectional tournament championship in school history Oct. 21 when they beat Felicity Franklin in three sets. The girls move on to the Southwest Division IV Championship at Troy H.S.

Lady Rockets sectional champs BY Brandon Barb The Brown County Press For the first time in school history the Fayetteville-Perry volleyball team has won a sectional championship. The Lady Rockets -the number one seed throughout the tournament -- defeated 5 seed Felicity Franklin Oct. 21 in three sets; 25-13, 2518, 25-11. The Rockets also had to get by Aiken - 25-8, 25-2, 25-6 -- and Seven Hills -- 25-23, 2523, 25-18 -- in order to win the sectional championship. The Lady Rockets played and beat Felicity during the regular season in three sets as well; 2518, 25-16, 25-23. So the Rockets knew what was being brought to the table by the Lady Cardinals. “We played them before and we were strong

then but our mindset wasn't one of repeating that," Fayetteville Head Coach Sharon Sheets said. "It was a new game with every point being crucial. The girls knew that and took it to heart." The Lady Rockets had a challenging second set against the Lady Cardinals, but the Fayetteville girls were able to battle back to keep the game to three sets. “We let our guard down the second game,” Sheets said. “But we fought back, we always fight back. Their mentality is good and their athleticism is great but when it comes down to it, defense wins ball games.” Fayetteville junior Carly Burroughs had five blocks, 10 kills and 27 attacks. Senior Gabby Valentine had 10 kills as well and 28 attacks. Senior McKenna Hammons

had nine kills and one block. According to Sheets, everyone on the team is her most valuable player. “I think we covered the floor real well, and of course attacked at the net. That’s our philosophy, to attack the ball and we did that well,” Sheets said. Sheets had been to two sectional championship games but wasn’t able to get through that glass ceiling until now. The win could be attributed to the Lady Rockets being moving down to Division IV this year. “That’s where we fit because of the small size of our school,” Sheets said. “We play city schools and private schools, but sometimes when we played Division III schools the teams would be bigger and better due to the amount of girls at the school. This

was a very good thing for us to come back to Division IV. It’s where we belong.” Overall, Sheets said she liked the new competition in the tournament. “It was good for the girls to see that.” Moving forward the Lady Rockets will take on Fort Loramie at Troy High School. “We made history this year. My JV went 20-0 for the first time in school history and this is the first sectional championship in volleyball. We’re just thrilled we came in, played our game and were able to pull it down,” Sheets said.

The Fayetteville Rocket football team dominated the Horizon Science Academy Jaguars with a score of 68-0 on Oct. 18. The victory now brings the rockets to a 62 record on the season. When asked about the victory, Fayetteville Head Coach Nathan Geers said, “We came out with good confidence and focus. We put ourselves in a good position to win. The team focused on the task at hand, and got on them early.” The defense came out looking strong on the with big plays coming

from seniors Cody Shaw, Josh Hairston and Christian Holden. The Rocket offense was also stellar on Friday night, with senior fullback Jacob Laney scoring two touchdowns in the first quarter alone, with Cody Shaw and Jacob Laney scoring in the first quarter as well. Geers said, “Cody has started all four years. He has played in forty plus games, and knows what it takes to play varsity. He is a tremendous leader. Week in and week out he does everything a coach could ask for.” Coach Geers is hopeful that the team will move beyond week 10 and is very proud of his team.

“We are getting better each and every week, and the team continues to improve. The 6-2 record reflects all of the hard work the team has put in. We are happy where we are at, and feel we have put ourselves in a position to possibly play beyond week 10,” Geers said. “This team is all you can ask for ask a coach, the team does everything; they show up and play hard each week. We are pleased where we are at, but not satisfied. We want to keep playing for bigger and better things. It is a battle every Friday night.”

The Eastern Brown cross country teams are running successfully as they head into the OHSSA Regionals. The boys team was the Southeast District runner ups and the girls were the 4th place finishers. “Everyone has bought into doing the hard work and that they can accomplish their goals if they really work hard at it,” Eastern Head Coach Tom Glasscock said. Glasscock said he can’t remember the last time an Eastern girls team ran in the regional meet, but this will be the third straight year a Warrior boys team runs. Out of both teams, Glasscock believes he has several state qualifiers. “I hope Layne, with him being a senior, does well this year,” Glasscock said. “I have a feeling my top two guys can rise to the occasion. There’s a good chance this year, but nothing is ever easy.” Eastern senior Layne Pickerill ran the Rio Grande course in 17:40 to help send the Warriors to regionals. Pickerill missed going to state last year but he looks to make it there this year. According to Glasscock, he is stronger this time around but so is the competition. “It’s tough, we might not

have a real shot at placing as a team because of the numbers the bigger schools have but individually I have high hopes,” Glasscock said. Both the boys and girls teams -- especially the girls -- have performed beyond the preseason expectations of their coach. “I’m thrilled with how the girls have ran. We started the season with two girls, and the rest of them joined after the season and they weren’t runners,” Glasscock said. “The only girl who ran last year was Rebekah Ellis.” He continued, “For them to grow and develop as well as they have has been great.” Heading into the meet at Pickerington High School, Glasscock tried to crunch the numbers from the other teams but he had to stop. “It got to the point where I was so frustrated I threw the papers down and said ‘Its going to be what its going to be,’” he said. “Yes, the boys have a good chance, and Alyssa Taylor has a shot at making it to state if she has a great race, but there is nothing more I can do at this point.” According to Glasscock, Taylor could be the first Lady Warrior to make it state in “a long time.” The Warriors head to Pickerington High School North Oct. 26.

Halloween tips for parents and homeowners What To Do With The Kids® is not only the website that parents go to when they want to know what to do with their kids but also a popular place to visit when planning your Halloween festivities. The fun can be found at www.whattodowiththekids.com. Our Halloween collection includes tips on how to create a haunted house, throw a spooktacular Halloween party featuring party invitations and Halloween crafts to entertain the kids. The kids can have their faces painted easily with a simple yet creative design and your jack-olantern will be the envy of the neighborhood when using one of our unique pumpkin stencils. We have also developed two separate trick or treat tip sheets for parents taking their kids out and for the homeowners who hand out the goodies. Here are a few tips that will hopefully prepare parents for make the evening fun for everyone. • Encourage the kids to use facial make up instead of a mask. • Spend the extra dollar and purchase quality makeup. You don’t want your kid to have that same look weeks later. • If possible, design the costume to accommodate a sweater or even a jacket underneath depending on the

weather. • Make sure that all costumes and accessories are flame resistant. • Keep in mind how much walking they’ll be doing for their age. You don’t want to have to carry your little ghoul home. • Carry extra bags to dump candy in so the kids don’t get overly tired. • If you have more than one kid to supervise, try bringing a wagon or cart to unload the candy in as they go door to door. • If you’re taking other kids with you, set out the rules before you leave and make sure they understand. • Instruct the kids to stay with you and off the lawns and out of the gardens. • Remind the kids to say thank you, even if they get disappointing candy. • Be prepared to carry their props after a while. • Inspect all candy when you get home. Throw away homemade, unwrapped or open candy. • Let them have one piece of wrapped candy while on the walk as a treat/break. • Bring a flashlight and give them glow sticks to wear. • Don’t let them walk in the middle of the streets. Cars will still travel on roads October 31st. • If the front light is out but they have Halloween decorations, there is a good

chance that they have no more candy. • If the lights are out and don’t have any decorations, the people are most likely hiding in the back and have no candy to give. • Carry a small, portable first aid kit for those little cuts and injuries. Many people bring their dogs with them and dress them up in costumes such as a hot dog or a devil. Instruct the kids to ask the owner if they can pet the animal BEFORE they do. There is a good chance that the animal is embarrassed to be in a costume and may want to take it out on a kid. • When the kids go to the door, stay close by and watch carefully. • Set a strict curfew for older kids that go out on their own. • Kids are NEVER to go into the house unless YOU know them. • If you have to drive, slow down more than usual. • Give the kids a snack before they go out. They won’t complain about being hungry and want to eat the candy. • Take half the candy and place it in the freezer for use in the summer. Here are a few tips for homeowners on Halloween: 1. Keep the path to your door clear of all obstacles and well lit. 2. Don’t terrorize the

kids. It’s all about fun and not making them wet their pants. 3. Be extremely careful with the candle in your pumpkin so that nothing bursts into flames, including a kid’s costume. Consider using a battery powered light or glow sticks. 4. Use flashlights, glow sticks or electric lights with the power cord safe and secured. 5. If you have a dog, keep it in another room and away from the door. 6. If you’re going to give candy, give only store bought and wrapped items such as chocolate bars, chips, etc. Loose candy will be thrown out by the parents. 7. Alternative giving can include pencils, erasers or stickers with a Halloween theme. 8. If you’ve spent a lot of time on your Halloween display, you may want to consider putting some sort of SAFE fencing around it so that everyone can enjoy it without it being trampled. 9. Halloween candy is magically calorie and fat free on October 31st so feel free to use the “one for you, one for me” rule. 10. Check out our website for more tips and special effects. Discover what to do with your kids at whattodowiththekids.com.

The evening’s festivities of great chow, sketch comedy, music, improv, and audience interaction culminates in the annual staff talent show, where the staff has a chance to share why they love the camp so much. All that’s left is to see if Mrs. Abbott will be convinced to preserve the natural charm of Camp Awannahikealotta for years to come.

Chatfield to host Open House Chatfield College in St. Martin, will host an open house for potential students on Saturday, November 2 at 10 a.m. and again at 1 p.m. Future students will have a chance to get any questions answered, meet with instructors and staff, talk to current students, learn how to enroll and get started, and take a placement exam. Food and refreshments will be provided. To RSVP, or for more information, call (513) 8753344, ext. 110.

A Folded Page, a sculpture by Cincinnatian Mark Schlachter, is now a part of Chatfield College’s St. Martin Campus in Brown County, OH. Chatfield College Board of Trustees member Paul Sittenfeld gifted the large, abstract piece to the College to add a new dimension to the scenic, rural campus. The artwork of Schlachter, a Green Township resident, is found in both private and public collections throughout the United States and internationally. The sculpture is on permanent display outside of the College’s Welcome Center. As Sr. Patricia Homan, OSU, Associate Dean and Site Director ob-

serves, “This artwork has created conversation and been well received by students and faculty.” Schlachter shares that “The St. Martin campus is a beautiful place, but the art exhibited there is traditional, literal, figurative work. Folded Page adds a new perspective. It asks the viewer to invest imagination and thought to find meaning and message. It demands a new perspective - a new thought process, and isn’t that what Chatfield is all about?” The Schlachter family has long supported Chatfield College at both the St. Martin and Findlay Market campuses. Growing enrollment at the two-year, liberal arts

college has led to the purchase of an historic property on the corner of Central Parkway and West Liberty Street as the College’s future, permanent campus serving Cincinnati students. An ongoing $5 million campaign to fund the adaptive reuse of 1544 Central Parkway, upgrade the original St. Martin campus, and increase endowment and scholarships for students is underway. Sittenfeld and Schlachter both look forward to the opportunity of placing another piece of sculpture at the future Chatfield campus in Over-the-Rhine. The private, Catholic college offers students on both campuses the Associate of Arts degree.

RED OAK NEWS

MARY HOWLETTE finally decided against chancing that the business would still be open. Instead, I remembered a new friend that I had made while down at the spring that said they owned a nearby antique store. We took that challenge of searching that out. Oh My Lands!!! what a pure delight to visit retired educator, Mr. Pulliam and the stories he told about the items of Pulliam's Antique Store!!! *** I learned that Mt. Olivet Church has a monthly sing on the first Sunday evening of each month. This next time, the first Sunday in November Brother David Carr of his wife from WZWP Somerset Radio heard locally here will be guest of the church. You are invited. *** Lisa Corum Fox will be the worship leader Sunday at the Red Oak Presbyterian Church. *** If you are interested in filling a child's Christmas shoebox there is still time. Call me at (937) 392-1323 for more details. *** You also are invited to a new thing in Brown County. The Georgetown Methodist Church is opening their doors Thursday mornings for an informal time for friends and acquaintances to come together for “Coffee and Chat.” However, if an organized discussion is preferred that will be available also. This is all free to those who would like to join in for a time of coffee and chat with a donation box available for those who like to give to an outreach ministry. The organized question will be a question of the day type thing. Rumor has it that the first question is going to be “What was your first car?” Everyone is welcomed.

This will begin November 7 at 9 a.m. Also, if desired a prayer tree will be available to post concerns and joys. *** A free community lunch will be held at the Georgetown Methodist Church October 26 and Sunday evening Bible Study starts at 6 p.m. Also, the Georgetown Methodist church has what they call “Toiletry Pantry.” In September they served 59 adults and 34 children! They also have a prayer shawl/blanket ministry. *** How do I know so much about Georgetown Methodist church so suddenly? Because Shirley Brierly and I attended the Brown County Genealogy Annual Dinner there Saturday. What a delightful time we had as we met again with friends and acquaintances prior to the meeting and at lunch-time; then Donna Skinner gave a most informative, spunky, descriptive report of Brown County's forgotten towns. Also, from the church's newsletter I learned that the next evening was their annual Fall Concert. I attended, especially after learning that my friend Mildred Tracy was doing well and would be singing. What a joy! What a joy to attend this concert as 21 people came together in unity to present a very beautiful sound. How precious!!!with the wonderful musical talents of Steve and Glenna Smith, and beautiful solos by Megan Dunkin, Mike Smith, and Aimee Germann. Precious! Just precious, along with flutist Jane Sininger. The Bell Choir also performed sounding very, very beautiful-just makes you want to go Wow! *** It was with great grief that I heard of the announcement of Dick Baird's death--an hour after his visitation time! *** It is with further sadness that I read of the death of my childhood friend Darrell Wills.

Mercy Health, which provides quality care with compassion in your neighborhood through its network of care, announces upcoming mobile mammography screening dates in November. Mercy Health Mobile Mammography offers women screening mammograms in 15 minutes at locations convenient to their home or workplace. Mercy Health Mobile Mammography includes three mobile units. The newest unit offers 3D imaging known as breast tomosynthesis that can help increase the chance of early breast cancer detection. Mercy Health’s mobile mammography program is the first in region to offer this technology, adding to the strength of the popular mobile mammography program that extends Mercy

Health's network of care throughout the Cincinnati region. For best coverage, patients should verify that Mercy Health and The Jewish Hospital are in-network providers with their insurance carrier. For women who are uninsured or underinsured (have high deductibles), we have financial assistance programs available. Call (513) 686-3310 for more information. Please make your appointment (required) by calling 513-686-3300 or 1855-PINK123 (1-855-7465123). Eastgate, Mercy Health – Eastgate Family Medicine located at 4421 Eastgate Blvd., on November 11, 2013; Anderson Township, Kroger located at 7580 Beechmont Ave., on No-

vember 15, 2013; Eastgate, Mercy Health – Mt. Carmel Family Medicine located at 473 Old State Route 74, on November 21, 2013; The American Cancer Society recommends that women have a mammogram every year starting at age 40. Screening mammograms are usually a covered benefit with most insurance carriers. Expert radiologists read all mammograms and because a second look can mean a second chance, we double-check all mammograms with the R2 ImageChecker, a computer-aided detection system that detects 23.4 percent more breast cancer than mammography alone. Both the patient and her physician receive a copy of the results.

Female: Kay Davenport of Georgetown; 2nd Place Female: Geri Cahall of Georgetown; Youth: Nick Kuebler of Georgetown. Each year a poster contest is held and this year the winners were Jaden Smith and Sharon Wilson. Many businesses in Brown County and surrounding communities supported the Walk and their contributions are greatly appreciated. Following the Walk for Life, in celebration of 20 years of serving the communities of Brown County, a picnic and concert was held at the Georgetown Church of Christ. Due to the rain, the festivities were held inside. Those in attendance were treated to a lunch of hot dogs and burgers fresh off the grill, along with chips, drinks and dessert. Following the meal, everyone enjoyed a concert by Third Generation. Third Generation is a southern gospel group from Brown County. The group consists of Ron

Green and sons, Terry Green and Jerry Green. The Pregnancy Resource Center is a nonprofit, life affirming organization that provides services for women in the midst of unplanned pregnancies. Although all services are provided free of charge, clients participate in parenting and relationship classes in order to earn the items needed. This gives them the knowledge that they earned what they received and they also receive important parenting skills. The PRC is located at 852 Mt. Orab Pike in Georgetown. It is open on Mondays and Thursdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.; Tuesdays from 10a.m. to 8 p.m. and Wednesdays from 2 to 6 p.m. Clients may call for an appointment (937) 378-6853 during regular office hours. Walk-ins are also welcome, but those with an appointment take priority.

Pregnancy Resource Center Walk for Life winners announced

On Saturday, September 21, 2013, the Pregnancy Resource Center A Place of Hope held their 20th Annual Walk for Life at Saint George Catholic Church in Georgetown. The Walk for Life is a fund-raiser and also gives community members an opportunity to support the PRC A Place of Hope as they work to give parents the opportunity and support they need to choose life for their baby. Although it was a rainy autumn day, nearly 30 people participated in the Walk. Walkers collected over $1500 which will be used to fund PRC services. All participants received gifts for participating and those who collected the most received gifts which were donated by businesses in Brown County and surrounding communities. Winners were: 1st Place Male: David Sharp of Williamsburg; 1st Place
