Candidates square off in forum BY Wade Linville The Brown County Press With only 13 days to go until the upcoming election, local candidates got the opportunity to speak publicly during the a candidate forum hosted by The Brown County Press and held at Southern Hills Career and Technical Center in Georgetown on Oct. 26. The mediator for the event was Brown County Press editor Wayne Gates. While some candidates who were running unopposed took the time to speak during Wednesday's forum including Brown County Clerk of Courts Clark Gray, Brown County Sheriff elect Gordon Ellis, Brown and Brown County Treasurer Connie Patrick, there were other candidates showed up ready to debate. Doug Green, Republican incumbent for the Ohio

State House of Representative 66th District, and Democrat candidate Ken McNeely, Jr. were the first two take the table to voice their views on some of the issues at hand. Among those issues was the Ohio budget. When questioned by Gates regarding the State of Ohio being prohibited from collecting a tax that it has been collecting over the past four to five years that results in a loss of around $750k for Brown County alone and how the legislature plans to handle the loss with an already tight budget, Green was the first to respond. “It is a difficult challenge. It is a more difficult challenge for county governments because the cost will be to the counties. There are a number of colleagues and I who have proposed that we continue the existing process and all it would

take would be a letter of agreement,” Green said of the tax loss. “We've been operating that way for a number of years, but for some reason the leadership has chosen not to go that route and to have that cost be passed down to local government. I have signed a letter of request to pursue the existing process.” McNeely said it is our current state legislature that controls the loss of revenue and that the current legislature is doing nothing but “shifting taxes away from the wealthy and passing that burden on to the less fortunate.” “It is causing that burden to effect a great many people here in the county and in the state,” continued McNeely. “If we were to take the taxes back to where they were before 2012 we would CONTINUED ON PAGE 9

Fayetteville-Perry Schools asking for earned income tax

Village of Higginsport tries again to pass levy

BY Martha B. Jacob

Voters in the FayettevillePerry School District will be voting on a 0.5% threeyear earned income tax on the income of individuals residing in the district on Nov. 8. “Surrounding school districts have received state funds in the millions over the past few years,” said Fayetteville-Perry Superintendent James Brady, “Our district did not. Our state aid was flat lined for fiscal years 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016. “This district needs this levy to pass. Funds from the levy will be spent winn be spent in a fiscally responsible manner, with things like maintenance, upgrading an aging bus fleet, older building roof work, parking lot repair, security updates and technology upgrades.” Brady explained that the

funds will also be designated to keep the district competitive with surrounding districts by supporting quality staff and programs that make the district great. “It is important that voters understand that some people will be excluded from this tax which is only one half of one cent,” Brady said, “It excludes social security benefits, disability and survivors benefits, railroad retirement benefits, child support, property received as a gift, bequest or inheritance and workers’ compensation benefits.” For a family earning $35,263 a year the half a cent earned income tax would be approximately $176 per year. That’s about $3.40 a week for the schools. For a voter who earns $60,000 a year, they would pay less than $6 a week for the school. CONTINUED ON PAGE 9

Council held a special community event on Sat.

Why are you running for Brown County Prosecutor? I am running for Prosecutor because I was born and raised right here in Brown County. I love this community and the people here. After law school, I chose to come back home because I wanted to help keep Brown County a great place to work, live, and raise a family. I am firmly rooted and active in this community, as my wife and I are raising our family here. We go to

church here, our children attend school here, and we belong to many groups and organizations here. I want to see Brown County thrive, and our citizens should not have to worry about crime as they go about their daily lives.

Commissioners help out at fair BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Commissioners recently helped over 300 kids at the Brown County Fair. Rather than choose a handful of projects to bid on to show their support, the commissioners decided to help as many participants as they could. “We thought it would be more fair if we could try to

help out as many as we could,” said Commissioner Barry Woodruff. The group decided to pay half of the commission fee for 316 projects. The total cost was $1580 dollars, split between the three men. “It’s important to us to encourage those young people to continue to bring their projects to fair,” Woodruff said.

Vote for Trump

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

I first registered to vote after coming home from the Army in 1970. I have missed very few election days since, and never a presidential election. Many time though, I had to choose between the lesser of two evils. 2016 looks awfully familiar. While Trump was not my first choice in the Republican primaries, I have decided to support him as he is by far, the lesser of the two evils this election. I am worried and afraid for the future of our Coun-

Remembering Halloweens of yesterday As a youngster come the end of October, for Halloween we made our costumes up in our mind and gathered things around the house to make them with, like a white bed sheet with eyes cut out for little brother Robby’s Casper costume, which he had to stop constantly to adjust the holes so he could see probably because we didn’t think to cut the sheet off and he was stepping on it all the time. (That was before super glue or Velcro of course, or we could have fixed that problem.) We disguised ourselves, like you probably did back in the day, so we could go door to door to pledge our trick-or-treat. It took me several seasons to finally ask, “Why do we say that.” I must admit it was great fun to see the town bustling with so many costumed kids going door to door with such excitement. As we got a bit older, we didn’t need parents to go with us. We were schooled on danger and abided by it or we’d be in big trouble when we got home. For our candy bags, we simply colored brown grocery bags and put our names on them. Not sure why we bothered with our names, since the candy haul was exactly the same as we went to every door together. And we never went to more than one town. That wouldn’t be right. But then everyone had there trick-or-treat night on the same night back then so

SHERRY MITCHELL TAKE JOY, A FARMHOUSE JOURNAL you couldn’t. Though we traipsed, what seemed like a hundred miles in shoes that were killing my feet one year, peering inside my bag it didn’t look like we had much in comparison to our big sack. Back at home, however, when we dumped it out in a pile on the living room floor, in front of the television, we realized we actually fared very well after all. Then we traded. That was the best part. Candy Trades! Especially fun, because we didn’t get candy that often at home—mostly when we made it like fudge, popcorn balls or potato candy. Cookies and cakes we had more frequent and fun because we learned to make them ourselves as soon as we could read and understand the instructions. We didn’t feel deprived at all. It was a treat. (Healthy eating in the sixties.)

Would you believe we only had pop on a few occasions? That’s right. Pop went with certain meals like pizza (homemade Chef-Boy-R- Dee) homemade chili or Italian spaghetti. On a more rare occasion it sometimes was poured with lunch if we had bologna sandwiches with potato chips. But it always went with popcorn cooked on the stovetop. No microwave. On any other day, mostly we drank tasty well water, which quenched the thirst of a hard day of play like none other and sometimes KoolAid. When it was time to return to the store, mother had us gather up the glass pop bottles to return for recycling for ten-cents each. That would be our math lesson for the week. It was great fun indeed. (We learned recycling.) And can you believe that all through the year we had only 3 free channels of television to watch, unless you had a special TV and antenna with UHF. And they were FREE channels. We weren’t deprived. We learned to look forward to favorite weekly programs (we loved come-

dies) each evening after supper and only if our homework was complete. It was a ritual and none of us rebelled. I remember too, only wholesome advertisements were allowed. Young eyes were watching. (Single beds for Lucy and Desi and no cigarette commercials back then.) Advertisement sure has changed and not for the better I dare say. Please don’t show me another medicine commercial that has worse side effects than the disease it’s trying to regulate. And why am I now paying for satellite television that has snuck back in the advertising? Well, I’ve said it before; I’ll say it again. Times change and we with time. But there is no substitute for a parent who trains up the child in the way they should go and more importantly strives to be the positive example our children are to live by.

What did you miss in the October 27 News Democrat? In the October 27 issue of the News Democrat, Second District Congressman Brad Wenstrup sat

down for an exclusive interview. He discussed federal regulations, poverty, the

drug issue and more. In other exclusive news, a local woman is being charged for injecting a pregnant woman with heroin. And a local forum to discuss the drug problem drew a large crowd in Ripley.

As evidenced by recent letters to the editor, Donald Trump supporters are not happy with Hillary Clinton. They resent being characterized by her as a "basket of deplorables." Yet, with few exceptions, they remained silent as Trump mocked a handicapped reporter and assailed women, Muslims, immigrants, and seemingly anyone else who didn't agree with him. Some of them quote scripture in an attempt to mitigate his wrongdoing, or wrap themselves in the flag and suggest that those who are "true patriots" will vote for Trump. Others cite his business acumen, which is questionable at best, to bolster their argument that he would be

the best candidate for president, ignoring all evidence to the contrary. Frequently, they are long on opinions but short on facts. But it is not enough to rely on sound bites and empty political rhetoric when making a decision to elect a presidential candidate, or any candidate for that matter. Instead, voters need to look beyond the superficial to understand the true character and political views of a candidate. Those who choose to do their due diligence will realize that in this presidential election Donald Trump is not the best choice for president. Rick Mino Georgetown

Vote for Strickland For the past two years the good people of Ohio have been subjected to a never ending barrage of television, radio and internet ads depicting what a great public servant for Ohio residents that Rob Portman has been. The problem is, most of it is not true. Rob Portman supports privatization of Social Security and turning Medicare in a voucher program. This would devastate Ohio’s seniors. Portman has voted against raising the minimum wage and voted 5 times against the Paycheck Fairness Act, depriving equal pay for equal work for the women of Ohio. Portman also backed a plan that took guaranteed overtime wages from some

Stolen signs I am a 75 year old lifetime resident of Brown County. I appreciate my great country and have always taken my voting privilege seriously.

I’m guessing a rabid Trump supporter confiscated them. It makes me wonder if I’m being watched and will be prevented from voting.

workers in Ohio. But even more devastating is Portman’s embrace of the trade deals that have outsourced many Ohio jobs to other countries. He voted to make permanent most favored trade status for China which devastated Ohio steel manufacturing. And he was one of the first senators to support the newest and likely the most devastating of all, the Trans Pacific Partnership or TPP. Ohio and America cannot afford to have Rob Portman in the United States Senate another six years. Vote Ted Strickland November 8. Clayton Meadors Sterling Township

Jonathan Christopher Gee, age 38, of Phoenix, Arizona, formerly of Hamersville, Ohio passed away at his home on September 30, 2016 after a 15-and-a-half year battle with cancer (Ewing’s Sarcoma). He is preceded in death by his grandparents Jesse and Gloria (nee Cahall) Smith, and Wayne and Virginia (nee Darling) Gee as well his father Jon Gee. He is survived by this Wife of 16 years Julie Delaney Gee originally of Owls Head, Maine. He is also survived by his mother, Kathleen Gee Hawkins and step-father Carl of Tacoma Washington; sister Jennifer Gee Richard (Brian) of Seymour, Indiana; Rebecca Gee Meyer (Robert) of Mt. Orab; and brother Robert Gee (Alicia) of Hamersville as well as his nieces/nephews Sydney, Caleb, Henry, Lauren, Sean, and Elias. Jonathan is a 1996 graduate of Western Brown High School and veteran of the United States Air Force. Though fighting cancer nearly his entire adult life, Jonathan also worked in the printing industry, most recently for United Printing of Phoenix Arizona. A memorial open house/celebration of his life will be held at his childhood home in Hamersville on Saturday October 29, 2016 from 2 to 7 pm. As Ewing’s Sarcoma is predominantly a childhood cancer, the family encourages donations in his honor to the Shriner’s Hospital for Children, St. Jude’s Children Research Hospital or to a charity of your choosing. “And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.” Luke 23:43

FORGIVENESS AND FAITH Turn with me to Luke chapter 17. Here, Jesus is teaching on the subject of forgiveness. Beginning in verse 1 He said, "...It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!" If you have been saved any length of time you have probably been offended either by the world, another Christian, or maybe even a family member. Jesus said they will come, but, He also said, "... woe unto him, through whom they come!" That is something to think about the next time you offend someone! He said, "It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones." That is a very strong warning! And He makes it clear that children were included in that warning. Jesus loves children! Woe unto him that would offend a little one! God takes it very seriously when a child is offended, abused, or neglected. Listen, church should be a positive experience for a child. That is why we at Bible Baptist Church have so many activities for the children to enjoy while at the same time they are learning about God. A child should be able to have good memories about going to church when they grow up. They should not have memories of members bickering, fighting, and gossiping over things. After that, Jesus goes on to say, "Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him." There are times when people offend us and they know that they have offended us. Then there are times when they offend us and do not even realize it. If you are on the side of the offence, Jesus said that it is your responsibility to rebuke the person who offended you. Confront them, in a nice way, and let them know that they offended you. Don't let the resentment grow inside you and become bitter against that person. Especially when they do not even know they

REV. TED R. HOUSE BIBLE BAPTIST CHURCH MT. ORAB www.bbcmtorab.com said or did something to offend you! All the same, it is your responsibility to rebuke. It is their responsibility to repent and then it is your responsibility to forgive if they repent! Watch, Jesus takes it to even another level, "And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him." Whoa! We don't like that, do we? Sometimes what Jesus teaches is hard to accept and digest. By nature it is hard for us to forgive someone who has offended us once, much less someone who has offended us seven times in one day! It is more in our nature to think that we will forgive them once but they better not do it twice! There is no education in a second kick of a mule! But, Jesus' teaching was even hard for the apostles! Their response was, "...Lord, Increase our faith", as if they were saying, I don't know if I can do that Lord! You will have to increase our faith! When we have run into something that God has commanded us to do, or something that He expects us to handle, and we are overwhelmed by it, we also can pray for God to increase our faith. The potential for increased faith is there, but you have to desire it. Then Jesus gave an example of a servant doing what a servant is expected to do without expecting thanks for doing it. He ended with telling them in verse 10, "So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do."

Attention everyone in the proposed annexation. Mayor admits 120% surcharge charges for water to force people into signing for annexation. Mayor says it will cost $2000.00 per household to tap into sewer if annexed into Sardinia. Mayor also says it will cost $450,000.00 and up to run sewer to Purdy Road. He says homeowner will have to pay this monthly charge added on to their sewer bill for 10 to 20 years. Village Administrator says people on Purdy road will have to pay for sewage pumps and maybe grinders also if annexation is approved. Homeowners will also have to pay to run pipe from home to street and will also have to pay to pump old septic. To crush, cave-in and fill old septic will cost thousands of dollars to each homeowner for sewage if annexation is approved.

This annexation was never asked for by the people. The town is forcing this on people through extortion (this is the only thing I know to call it) by telling the homeowner if you do NOT sign you will pay. They will charge you 120% surcharge on water bill. Every month you will pay extra money to town for refusing to sign the annexation. If you the commissioners let this proceed and approve this, then we do not need to ever have any more elections - cancel all up coming elections - they are not needed, as we the people no longer have any rights. I ask you to have a full investigation into any criminal charges that should be filed and prosecute any that have broken the law. Stop the annexation, this whole thing has been wrong from the start. Contact every person in the annexation, interview them. Have the town investigated as to how one person pays town water rates for signing the annexation paper while their neighbor pays 120% surcharge because they would not sign.

THANK YOU! We are grateful for another successful outing and look forward to next year!!

Discouraging deer in your garden BY Faye Mahaffey On a walk around the property this week-end, I noticed lots of hoof prints in the mulch around some of our spruce trees. Some growth on recently planted daylilies has been clipped. The next thing will be “rubs” on my spruce trees in the lower yard. I have left some “sacrificial” offerings to the deer as they travel the well-worn path from the creek to the field next to our home. I have tried several of the home-remedies on some of the trees, but realized that if I don’t treat the entire planting, the deer will just head for an un-treated tree. On a garden trip to George Washington’s Mt. Vernon a few years ago, I purchased a small Horse Chestnut Tree and planted it along the tree line and dangerously close to the deer trail. So far there have been no rubs, but the tomato cage that had protected it somehow got mangled by a passing deer. We have an area in the lower yard where beloved pets are buried. I decided to plant hostas there since it was shaded by the trees. What was I thinking? The pet cemetery is close to the deer path! Now they stop and munch on hostas as they walk by! It’s tough to keep your garden from becoming a deer buffet, but the plants you choose can help tip the odds in your favor. The following are known deer-resistant varieties, remember although, deer will eat anything if they are hungry enough: Allium, Anise Hyssop, Astilbe, Bee Balm, Black-eyed Susan, Columbine, Coneflower, Daffodil, Dianthus, Ferns, Foxglove, Gayfeather, Hyacinth, Iris, Lady’s Mantle, Lamb’s Ears Lenten Rose, Lily of the Valley, Monkshood, Oriental Poppy, Russian Sage, Shasta Daisy, and Yarrow. Did you happen to notice that Hostas are not on the list? Yes…..I planted deer “candy” right next to their path! Life lessons happen

Keeping deer out of the garden is a year-round chore.

even when you are gardening! According to Factsheet W-5-200, Preventing and Controlling Deer Damage, (available at ohioline.edu.osu) Whitetailed deer were nearly extirpated from much of the eastern United States in the early 1900’s because of habitat changes and overhunting. However, numbers of deer have increased throughout Ohio and the East as forests matured over the past century and appropriate hunting seasons were established. The white-tailed deer is now among the most common mammals in the state. Although hunters and nature enthusiasts may enjoy the sight of deer, this animal has presented some problems throughout the state. Deer are involved in vehicular collisions, overbrowsing of parks and reserves, and damage to a variety of crops, gardens, nurseries, and trees. Damage by deer can be identified by the jagged or torn surface on twigs or stems that they browse (compared to the clean-cut surface left by rabbits and rodents). Deer tracks are also easily identified. As with all nuisance wildlife problems and damage concerns, changing your level of tolerance is the easiest solution. However, you must ultimately decide what level of damage warrants action. If you choose to manage your deer problems, remember that there seldom are quick solutions. The key to success is persistence. Damage Prevention and Control tactics include: Ex-

clusion, Habitat Modification, Scare Tactics, Repellents and Toxicants, and shooting. (Be sure to check with the Division of Wildlife for hunting regulations and limits.) The Ohio Division of Wildlife also has a very informative publication on Deer Damage Control (Publication 138). When you are considering the purchase of new ornamental plants for your landscape you can refer to the handy list included with the OSUE FactSheet. Plant species are grouped together by how frequently they have been damaged by deer. The “Rarely Damaged” list includes: Barberry, Common Barberry, Paper Birch, Common Boxwood, Russian Olive, American Holly, Drooping Leucothoe, Colorado Blue Spruce and Japanese Pieris. Marne Titchenell of Ohio State University, a wildlife program specialist in OSU’s College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences, recently offered some tips on minimizing the impact of deer in our landscapes to my favorite garden author and blogger, Margaret Roach. Titchenell explains that we need to correctly assess the damage and make sure we know who did the damage. Get down and look at the damage and what is left on the plants. If it is deer damage you will find some jagged edges. That has to do with the deer’s dentition. They have bottom incisors but nothing on top, so they are going to grasp a plant and pull it, and that plant’s going

to tear – no matter what part of the plant it is, leaf or branch. We all know that we are heading into a time when some of the biggest damage can be done, especially to the woody plants. The breeding season known as rut often causes an increase in movement, especially in male deer, as they are searching for females. Those males are polishing up those antlers to make them look all nice and shiny for the females and that’s when we start to see rubbing damage. That is the males rubbing that velvet off their antlers in preparation for the breeding season. This rubbing can actually continue through the breeding season – through December and sometimes into January. What’s going on there is the males have glands in their foreheads, and they will rub them on trees, leaving a scent mark, and that serves as communication, communicating their presence and their social status to other males in the area. What is a gardener to do? Exclusion – some sort of fencing – first for individual plant protection. On a larger scale it would be putting up a fence around the property, which could be very costly. The second defense that Titchenell recommends is some sort of repellent. She encourages people to look at the label and the active ingredient. Look for eggs. Or the other ingredient would be hot pepper-which may be called capsaicin. You will see a lot of commercially available repellents using both of those active ingredients. That’s because that’s what researchers are saying works best. Check the internet and you will find a long list of books about Deer-Resistant Landscaping, but the bottom line is deer will eat almost anything if they choose to do so. I have learned that I need to choose my battles, and try to be smarter about the plants that I choose for my gardens. So much to consider…how often does it bloom, will it survive a drought, or freezing temperatures, are the leaves attractive, and is it on the “deer candy” list?

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 but we can't do things overnight.” Green and McNeely both said they would support an increase in Ohio's gas tax to help fund transportation infrastructure which in turn could create jobs. Ohio's gas tax has not been increased since the early 2000's, according to Green, who went on to say the gas tax is just one of a number of possibilities. Next it was Republican Brown County Commissioner incumbent Barry Woodruff and Democrat commissioner candidate Jim Ferguson, a former Brown County commissioner, debating on the current issues surrounding Brown County including the county budget, the county correctional facility, and the drug crisis. To kick off the commissioner debate, Gates questioned the two candidates on their plans in dealing with loss of county revenue on an already tight budget if elected to office. “Getting new money outside of new taxes is very difficult,” said Ferguson. “New businesses and new employment brings taxes.” “Working with the budget is tough, but I've had my experience,” Ferguson added. “I know where to cut and where not to cut.” “The issue is funding,” said Woodruff. “People think the commissioners have the ability to spend every dime that comes in and that's absolutely not true, but when you look at the decline in local govern-

ment funding, seven to nine years ago about $1.2 million per year would come into the county from the state. That's is now down to $750k, and we split that with the townships.” When speaking on solutions to the drug crisis in Brown County, Woodruff felt that family structure and treatment were the keys. “The problem is here, but we can resolve that with family structure,” Woodruff said of the drug problem. “Do we need a new jail, or a drug treatment and rehab facility?” “Let's quit blaming the schools (for the drug problem) and let's get back to the family structure.” Most residents of Brown County are aware of the closing of the Brown County Jail that took place over the past year due to facility issues, which led to Brown County having to fork out the cost to house their prisoners at Butler County Jail. While Woodruff supported the closing of the jail, Ferguson felt the closing of the jail was a mistake. “Closing the jail wasn't a good decision,” said Ferguson. “I believe in solving problems as they occur.” The current trend in the county in the way it is going has to be broken,” Ferguson added. “We're here to serve you, and that's how you have to approach it,” Woodruff said in closing. “We have about a $9.6 million budget to control. It is not going to be enough if we continue this downward slope of drug ad-

diction and the jail that is severely over populated.” Also squaring off during the Oct. 26 forum were Brown County Commissioner incumbent Darryl Gray and Democrat commissioner candidate Ralph Jennings, a former Brown County commissioner. The debate began with questions regarding the closing, sale, and possible reopening of the Brown County Hospital. “I was commissioner when that hospital was sold on June 2, 2011, but let me back up just a little bit. When I took office in 2009 we met with the Hospital Board in December and before I was ever sworn they said, 'I just want you to know we're not going to be able to meet payroll at the end of February. That's how bad of shape we're in. So, you need to do something right away.' That's how bad of shape they were in,” said Jennings. “It was a bad time for the hospital business, but needless to say after we advertised the hospital I think five times for public sale, we did sell it.” “There weren't a whole lot of options,” Jennings added. Gray was questioned on how he has applied his knowledge as a former business owner to his job as county commissioner. “If you run your own business you have to make payroll, you have to pay taxes, and you have to make sure you've got enough work for your employees. That is the way I approach the commissioner's job,” said Gray. “I was in busi-

ness for 38 years...never missed a payroll, put in a lot of long hours, sometimes 70 hours per week.” “I think the three commissioners who are in there right now, we have worked together, handled the budget, and spent a fair amount of money on repairs to county buildings, the jail locking mechanisms, the sewer pipes; but we have not borrowed any money,” said Gray. “I'm proud of what we have accomplished.” “I believe courtesy, cooperation and common sense are the keys to making this thing work,” Jennings said in closing. The final debate of the forum saw Republican Brown County Prosecutor candidate Zac Corbin and independent candidate Dennis Varnau take the table to speak on the current issues involving the county prosecutor's office. When questioned on budget issues, Varnau said, if elected, he would donate his entire salary as prosecutor to the assistant prosecutor poll to help the budget problems in the county. Corbin, who currently serves as an assistant prosecutor in Brown County, said he would not be donating his salary if elected as prosecutor, but he is positive that the hard-working staff at the prosecutor's office will be able to get the job done, even if understaffed. “We're going to be understaffed, but we will make it work,” said Corbin. “We understand that we (Brown County's prosecuting attorneys) don't do this to get

rich, but because we like to serve the people of Brown County.” Varnau, once an investigator for the prosecutor's office, said that if he is elected he will place some of his focus on corruption in county offices. “There is corruption going on and that's up to the prosecutor's office to point out,” said Varnau. “People say 'I'm from Brown County and lived here all my life' and I think that's part of the problem,” said Varnau. “There has to be checks and balances, and you have to be independent and of high integrity.” Corbin said he was instrumental in starting the Brown County Drug and Major Crime Task Force to target the major drug problem in the county, and to help fund the task force he learned to complete grant applications and receive grants. Corbin felt the experience he has attained in relation to grant writing will be beneficial if he is elected as prosecutor. “I grew up here in Brown County and I see that as a good thing and not a bad thing. Because I have rooted in this community and I love this community, I assure you and everyone that I do want the best thing for this community,” Corbin said in closing. “If there is corruption anywhere, we are going to seek it out and it is going to be prosecuted.” Speaking on behalf of the Hillary Clinton Presidential and Ted Strickland Senate Democratic campaigns was Ohio Democratic Party

Chairman David Pepper. When questioned on Obamacare, Pepper said that if Clinton is elected, hopefully some fixes will be made to Obamacare that deal with cost issues and other issues surrounding healthcare in the U.S. “It's a perfect example to me of how broken Washington is, that people can't roll up their sleeves and solve some of these problems,” said Pepper. “Ted Strickland and Hillary Clinton want to work hard on these issues.” “There are some common sense fixes (in Obamacare) that can make it better,” said Pepper. Speaking on behalf of the Brad Wenstrup Republican for Second Congressional District candidate campaign was Alex Scharfetter, Wenstrup's campaign manager, also focusing on healthcare. “There is a solution to healthcare, we just need to get the right people in the room like doctors and Wenstrup,” said Scharfetter. “Our country a pivotal decision this November. It's about the direction we want to take. Is it more of the same, or is it getting back to work to do what the American people want and actually providing results,” said Scharfetter. Speaking as a write-in candidate for the Second Congressional District was Dr. Janet Everhard. “I am fighting against, not only disenfranchisement in (congressional candidate) William R. Smith, but also against 'big money' in Brad Wenstrup,” said Everhard.

Green, McNeely seek House seat Fayetteville-Perry asking for income tax do you plan to address those issues? As mentioned previously, unemployment, hunger, public assistance, home foreclosures and opiates are all major issues that we are facing in the 66th District, of Brown and Clermont Counties on a daily basis. These have to be addressed and solved. Increasing the minimum wage to a livable wage, attracting manufacturing companies to the area will be the first step in lowering unemployment, hunger, public assistance and home foreclosures. Folks, we need serious people to solve these problems or they will only continually worsen. With people having good livable wage jobs they will become self sufficient, and provide for their families thus lowering the first four issues. As for the opiate problem, I will address this with harder and tougher laws against the drug dealers so our police officers and courts will be able to get the drugs out of our counties. If elected, what policies do you plan to focus on? I will focus on restoring funding to not-for profit public education, local governments, townships and municipalities. These are the ones who knows the needs of the people best. I will also work with and help our farmers, protect and strengthen the middle class, the hard working men and women, protect collective bargaining. I will also work on protecting the environment and help the small independent business owners so their business can and will run more smoothly. All of these policies that I will work on will help make a better liv-

ing in Brown and Clermont Counties. What qualifies you for this office? The hardships the people of District 66th are going through, I have as well and endured. I understand their plight and I listen to them. Furthermore, I will not just listen, I will hear what they have to say and respond. YOU, the people deserve that and I will be a hard working Representative for you in Columbus. I ask for your trust and support. Doug Green is seeking a third term to the Ohio House of Representatives. The following are Green’s answers to questions submitted to him by the Brown County Press. Why are you seeking reelection? When I was first elected to the House of Representatives four years ago, I believed I was following the purpose of my life, which was to represent the best interests of people of Ohio, the 66th district and southern Ohio in particular and that has not changed. We have accomplished a lot, but there is much more to do and that is why I am seeking reelection to the 66th District of the Ohio House of Representatives. What have you accomplished over the past term that you feel has benefitted the voters of your district? I was successful in bringing dollars back to the district to help provide needed services totaling nearly a million dollars. I also executed several legislative initiatives to assist local governments to reduce unnecessary processes which benefit the citizens of the district as well as the state. Throughout my tenure in the Ohio House, we have

continued to reduce taxes. We have addressed the issue of our unemployment debt, which will reduce the unemployment insurance premium for our employers. What are your priorities and goals for the next two years should you be re-elected? There are several issues of great concern to me, not just as it pertains to this office but the involvement of it in finding solutions to the challenges across th state. 1. Unemployed workers are still of concern to me. Although our unemployment numbers are decreasing, we still have people who want to work who cannot find jobs, or are underqualified to advance to better jobs. I have been in communication with employers and career training centers in an effort to train workers to meet the employer needs. 2. The opiate epidemic that is destroying lives and crippling communities throughout our communities. My colleagues and I have passed nearly a dozen separate pieces of legislation to address this problem ranging from increased intervention efforts for the drug dependent to increasing punishments for drug dealers. Also, efforts have been increased to provide drug education to our children. 3. I will continue to find ways to lighten the burden of our tax payers. 4, I will continue to defense of our rights afforded by the Constitution of the United States and the State of Ohio. I will also continue to do so with the respect and dignity expected of my by those I represent, as is recited in the oath I take "as I shall answer to God."

Higginsport tries again to pass levy CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 there was always someone to help or give a helping hand to those in need,” she said. “We were a thriving town.” She continued, “We are still that small historical community. We have a wonderful fire department and life squad. New neighbors and businesses are always welcome with open arms and council invites residents to participate at meetings regarding all business in Higginsport.” Burchwell said council

has tried on many occasions to pass some kind of levy, which comes very close to passing, but just doesn’t seem to get the support it needs. The last levy that passed was in 2009. Since then, seven have failed, including two that ended in tie votes. “This village needs this levy to pass in order to stay alive and thrive and this could be our last chance,” she wrote. “Funds from this levy will be used to pay for street lights, maintain the park, the cemetery and our

streets. “Higginsport needs many improvements as well as for the basic operation of the village that are not currently being met.” Burchwell said it is her fear that some people in Higginsport actually want the village to become a ghost town and cease to exist like St. Martin did. “Higginsport can become a thriving community again with the help of it’s residents,” she said. “We need to pass this levy on Nov. 8 to assure that Higginsport can thrive. So please vote yes on this 5 mill levy.”

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 “Fayetteville-Perry Schools are among the best schools in Southern Ohio,” Brady said. “This district offers a lot to residents including free admission by senior citizens to attend all sporting events.

“We support many community groups, organizations and activities by permitting building us at no cost and the school fully funds the cost of college tuition and books up to 30 semester hours per year.” Brady said that students can essentially earn up to

120 college credits prior to graduating high school, all paid by the district. “We are asking the community to come out and vote yes for their schools,” Brady said. “Now is the time we need everyone’s support.”

Dwayne Wenninger Sheriff Brown County, Ohio Charles Gasior #0075946 Attorney ---------------------------------------County of Brown REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL FOR BANKING SERVICES (ORC 135.33) The County of Brown, Georgetown, Ohio, hereby invites banking institutions that maintain a full service banking office(s) within the territorial limits of the County of Brown to submit proposals for the required depository and banking services agreement contained herein. It is the intent of the County of Brown to select one banking institution to provide basic banking services. However, the County of Brown may award some services to more than one banking institution. A written proposal must be submitted in a sealed envelope marked “Proposal for Banking Services” to the Brown County Board of Commissioners, 800 Mt. Orab Pike, Suite 101, Georgetown, Ohio 45121 no later than 10:00 a.m. on November 28, 2016. The proposals will be opened and read aloud at that time. The Board of Commissioners will meet on November 30, 2016 at 10:00 a.m. to designate one or more eligible institutions as public depositories. The depository agreement will be for a term of four (4) years commencing on December 31, 2016 and ending on December 31, 2020. Each banking institution must submit a per unit charge for the required banking services on page one (1) of the Bid Forms (pages 1-7) which must be completed and submitted with the written proposal. The total monthly service charge fees will NOT be the sole determining factor in designating a depository for banking services for the County of Brown. The criteria for evaluating the request for proposal will be based upon a combination of: 1. The quality and extent of services to be provided to the County of Brown. 2. Service charge fees for services to be provided to the County of Brown. 3. The formula used in calculating the interest earnings for the County of Brown. 4. The cash management proposal. 5. Background and experience of the banking institution to provide quality services to like public entities will be considered in evaluating the proposal for banking services. The financial institutions desiring to provide banking or investment services for the County of Brown shall provide the following: 1. Quarterly verification of pooled collateral as of the close of business on the last banking business day of March, June, September, and December.

On Tuesday, October 18, the second graders at Hamersville School traveled to Mt. Adams to visit the Cincinnati Observatory. This past month the students have been learning a lot about the solar system, particularly with regard to the sun and the moon, in their classroom unit of study. They were delighted to finally view an observatory where star gazing was enhanced with the use of powerful telescopes, one of which is the world’s oldest telescope still in use. After seeing the telescopes, students listened to a presentation about the moon phases and reenacted the orbit of the moon around the earth. To complete their tour, they were given special filtered equipment from which to look at the sun safely and see features such as sunspots which were studied prior to their visit. The kids were fascinated to have the opportunity to see telescopes of the magni-

A season to remember Broncos make WBHS boys soccer history BY Wade Linville The Brown County Press

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

This year's Broncos have reached an end to what has been an exciting and successful fall season on the soccer field, making their mark in Western Brown High School sports history as the school's most successful varsity boys soccer team so far. This year's Broncos were the first to claim a Southern Buckeye Athletic/Academic

Conference American Division title since the start of the Western Brown High School boys soccer program in 1998, and they would finish their season with only two losses with an overall record of 13-2-4. The Broncos' season would end in the Southwest District Division II Sectional finals, where they fell to Wyoming in the battle for a sectional title at Milford High School on Oct. 24. The Broncos entered sec-

tional tournament play as the No. 5 seed and after claiming a 4-0 win over No. 15 seed Blanchester in round one of the sectional, they would move on to claim a narrow 2-0 victory over the No. 8 seed Hornets to earn a berth in the sectional championship at Milford High School. The Broncos dominated the first half, controlling the ball well at midfield with sophomore Austin Coffey and junior Zach Knight scoring goals to give the Broncos a 2-0 lead. The Hornets came out firing in the second half after making some wise adjustments at halftime break, but

excellent defensive performances by Bronco senior Gabe O'Hara, senior Tanner Shasteen, sophomore Wesley O'Hara, Knight and sophomore goalkeeper Sam Linkous would prevent the skilled Monroe team from scoring a single goal. “We didn't control the middle very well in the second half because of the adjustments they made, but the main thing was that I don't think our aggression and our effort wasn't what it was in the first half,” said Western Brown head coach Bobby Kuntz. “Our defense has been the rock of what we've accomplished all year. They've come up big

in every instance they've needed to. In 18 games they've only given up eight goals, so they've been solid.” For Linkous, the Oct. 20 sectional win marked his 13th shutout of the season as Western Brown High School's record holder for single-season shutouts. The Broncos outscored their opponents 46-8 going into the sectional championship bout at Milford on Oct. 24, where they faced No. 4 seed Wyoming.

The Broncos would suffer was what only their second loss of the season at the hands of Wyoming, suffering a 2-0 loss to finish as a sectional tourney runner-up. The loss at Milford marked the end of successful soccer careers for Western Brown seniors Gabe O'Hara, Aaron Partin, Drew Willoughby, Jake Zinkhen, Tanner Shasteen, and Colin Kursim; whose final varsity game at Kibler CONTINUED ON PAGE 15

BY Wade Linville The Brown County Press Another winning season of high school soccer has come to a close for the Western Brown Lady Broncos, headed by coach Dan Silvis. The Lady Broncos finished their season with an overall record of 10-8-1, bowing out of post-season tournament play in the Southwest District Division II Sectional finals where they fell to No. 1 seed Mc-

Nicholas 7-0 at Madeira High School, Oct. 25. The Lady Broncos wrapped up their regular season second in Southern Buckeye Athletic/Academic Conference American Division standings with a 5-4-1 league mark behind the New Richmond Lady Lions and the Amelia Lady Barons who finished as this year's SBAAC American Division co-champions with records of 8-1-1 in league play. The Lady Broncos, as the No. 8 seed, upset the No. 5 seed New Richmond Lady Lions 3-2 in overtime to earn a berth in the sectional finals.

Juniors on this year's Western Brown varsity soccer squad included Austin Schweitzer, Colston Roades, Dillan Scarpinski, Joran Hamblin, and Zach Knight. Sophomores on this year's Bronco varsity squad were Afton Dixon, Wesley O'Hara, Austin Coffey, Austin Kirk, Blake Hurt, Chase Easterling, Joey Kinder, Noah Hiler, and Sam Linkous. This year's Broncos were the first ever Western Brown High School varsity boys soccer team to bring home the SBAAC American Division title in the program that started in 1998. They would finish with an impressive overall record of 13-2-4 and a league record of 7-0-3 as the most successful Bronco varsity boys soccer team in school history. “It feels great to see what the boys have accomplished this season. When we began open fields in late March, it was very clear that we had a talented team with lots of depth. The one thing we talked about over and over again was how we could become the first boys team to win a league title if we put in the work. I am so excited and proud of this group of guys because they took that challenge and have accom-

plished something that will never be forgotten. They deserve every bit of this success,” said Kuntz, the Broncos' first-year head coach. “It is a little more special for me personally as well because I played in the program and I can see how far it has come from when I was here. The league was very tough this year, and that made us really have to focus on every individual game instead of looking past anyone. Something we talked about quite often was staying in the moment and always thinking about what we could do to set ourselves up to win. It also took quite a lot of effort on the practice field each and every day, but all of that time was enjoyable because these boys are fun to be around. They understood that even though we had to work hard when we were between the lines, it was okay to enjoy what we are doing and have some fun, as well. I think the boys enjoying coming to practice each day was one of the keys to our success this season.” Kuntz also credited some strong supporters who played roles in the Broncos' success this season. “There are a lot of people that deserve credit for supporting the program throughout the season. Our administrators in the high school, Mrs. Heather Cooper, Mr. Tim Cook, and Mr. Jeff Herrmann, were absolutely great to work

with all season. Their support as we pushed toward our goal was amazing! Our Goal Club also deserves a lot of credit for everything they did for the boys throughout the summer and into the season...setting up fundraisers, feeding the boys on game days, and organizing team get togethers, among many other things allowed the coaching staff to focus solely on what was going on on the field. All of the parents were fantastic, as well. Getting the boys to everything and supporting myself and the coaching staff was hugely important to how successful the program was this season. My coaching staff also deserves praise for their work this season. They were extremely supportive to me as a first year head coach, and I appreciate everything they did. I would also like to mention the efforts of the program's previous coach, Kyle Fender. Coach Fender put in a lot of hard work for many years with this group of boys and all of that hard work really boosted the program. Lastly, I have to thank my family for all of their support and help. Specifically, my very understanding wife who takes care of everything during the season since I am away quite a lot. Without her support and love, I would not be able to do this job effectively.”

Western Brown junior high boys claim SBAAC XC title Submitted news The Brown County Press The Saturday before last ended yet another very successful season for Western Brown Jr. High cross country teams. Competing on a great course at Williamsburg High School, the girls ran their way to a runnerup finish while the boys

pulled off a narrow victory. Leading the way for the girls were Paige Abbinante in second, Aliesha Smith in fifth, Jadyn Flores in ninth, Allexa Temple in 12th and Megan West in 14th. The Western Brown girls were defeated by a very strong Batavia team. The Western Brown boys

were led by overall race champion A.J. Hurt, followed by Caleb Ware in seventh, Colton O’Hara in 13th, Ben Todd in 16th and Scout Riehle in 28th place. The boys score of 63 edged out New Richmond who scored 66 points, Goshen with 67 and Batavia who came in 4th with 77 points.

Week 9 football roundup CONTINUED FROM PAGE 15 Western Brown junior Wyatt Fischer hauled in four receptions for 46 yards and one touchdown. Norwood's Jihad Key rushed for 164 yards on just four carries with three touchdowns, while Indian quarterback Matt Goodman completed 12-of-21 pass attempts for 162 yards and two touchdowns. Goodman also took 13 carries for 99 yards and ran for one touchdown. The Broncos will host the Goshen Warriors for their final game of the season on Friday, Oct. 28 on Senior Recognition Night at Western Brown. The Fayetteville-Perry Rockets' winning streak came to a close on Oct. 21, as they suffered a 27-0 loss to Portsmouth Notre Dame

to drop to an overall record of 6-3. The week nine loss at home came after four consecutive wins for the Rockets, a winning streak that would earn the FayettevillePerry varsity football program its second straight Ohio Valley Athletic League title. While the Rockets faced struggles in execution on both ends of the ball in the week nine loss, much credit goes out to the Notre Dame varsity squad whose defense managed to hold the Fayetteville-Perry offense scoreless in the game. The Rockets totaled only 148 rushing yards against Notre Dame with senior running back Chase Jester taking 28 carries for 128 yards, and Austin Brockman taking 15 carries for 16 yards.

With Friday's loss, the Rockets fell from seventh to ninth in Division VI, Region 24 rankings to put one spot shy of a playoff spot and in desperate need of a win in week 10 on the gridiron. The Rockets will have their work cut out for them once again in week 10, as they play host to 6-3 Bishop Ready to wrap up their regular season at home on Oct. 28. The Rockets will need to finish among the top eight teams in Region 24 to earn a spot in the regional playoffs. The top four teams in Region 24 – Marion Local (81), Mechanicsburg (9-0), Jefferson (8-1), and Spencerville (8-1) – have already clinched a spot in the regional playoffs.

Reminder to Ohio deer hunters on the use of antlerless permits Press release The Brown County Press

Not pictured are Mason Layman, Brady Kirkpatrick, and Jonathan Scheidt.

As more hunters take to the field the Ohio Department of Natural Resources would like to remind them to purchase the correct hunting license and permits prior to deer hunting this season. When deer hunting in Ohio a deer permit is required in addition to a valid Ohio hunting license. Antlerless deer permits expire Nov. 27 and will not be valid for deer-gun week except in ODNR Division of Wildlife authorized controlled hunts. Antlerless permits are only valid in 10 counties. Those counties are Cuyahoga, Delaware, Franklin, Hamilton, Lake, Lorain, Lucas, Portage, Stark and Summit. "Here in southwest Ohio Hamilton is the only

county where you can use the antlerless permit", said Brett Beatty, District Five Wildlife Management Supervisor. Antlerless permits were a tool to encourage the early harvest of antlerless deer. As populations approach goal, antlerless permit use is restricted to reduce pressure on antlerless deer. Hunters can still take antlerless deer; however, they will need to use an either-sex permit. The statewide deer bag limit is six deer. Hunters may take only one antlered deer regardless of county, hunting method or season. Although Ohio resident landowners, spouses, and their children are not required to have a hunting license, either-sex deer permit or antlerless deer permit when hunting on land they own they are re-

quired to follow set bag limits and check in their harvest. Landowners will create a game tag and attach it to the harvested game. Once tagged they can check game in at a license vendor, use the operator-assisted game check (fees apply) or online at www.wildohio.gov<http:// www.wildohio.gov>. Deer hunting regulations can be obtained at a license vendor or online at http://wildlife.ohiodnr.gov/ huntingandtrappingregulations#<http://wildlife.ohiod nr.gov/huntingandtrappingregulations>. ODNR ensures a balance between wise use and protection of our natural resources for the benefit of all. Visit the ODNR website at ohiodnr.gov<http://www.oh iodnr.gov/>.

IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS BROWN COUNTY, OHIO CASE NO. CVE 20160651 NOTICE OF FORECLOSURE FOR PUBLICATION ACTION IN REM O.R.C. SECTION 5721.18(C) IN THE MATTER OF FORECLOSURE OF LIENS AND FORFEITURE OF PROPERTY FOR DELINQUENT LAND TAXES BY ACTION IN REM: CONNIE PATRICK, TREASURER, BROWN COUNTY, OHIO PLAINTIFF vs. PARCELS OF LAND ENCUMBERED WITH DELINQUENT TAX LIENS DEFENDANTS Notice of foreclosure of liens for delinquent land taxes, by action in rem, by Connie Patrick, Treasurer of Brown County, Ohio. Public notice is hereby given that on October 21, 2016, Connie Patrick, Treasurer of Brown County, Ohio filed a complaint in the Brown County Court of Common Pleas in Georgetown, Ohio, for the foreclosure of liens for delinquent taxes, assessments, charges, penalties, and interest against certain real property situated in such county, as described in that complaint. The object of the action is to obtain from the court a judgement foreclosing the tax liens against such real estate and ordering the sale of such real estate for the satisfaction of the tax liens on it. Such action is brought against the real property only and no personal judgment shall be entered in it. However, if pursuant to the action the property is sold for an amount not less than the amount of the delinquent taxes, assessments, charges, penalties, and interest against it, the court, in a separate order, may enter a deficiency judgement against the owner of record of a parcel for the amount of the difference; if that owner of record is a corporation, the court may enter the deficiency judgement against the stockholder holding a majority on the corporation’s stock. The permanent parcel number of each parcel including in such action; the full street address of the parcel, if available; a description of the parcel as set forth in the associated delinquent land tax certificate or master list of delinquent tracts; a statement of the amount of the taxes, assessments, charges, penalties, and interest due and unpaid on the parcel; the name and address of the last known owner of the parcel as they appear on the general tax list; all as set forth in the complaint, are as follows: SEE “LIST OF PARCELS”, MARKED EXHIBIT A, ATTACHED HERETO AND MADE A PART HEREOF.

date for this job. What do you hope to accomplish if elected and what will your priorities be? My top priority will be continuing to address the drug problem and related crimes that affect our community. As your Prosecutor, I will continue to work cooperatively with all law enforcement and our citizens to do everything in our power to combat this epidemic. We must make sure that the drugs and drug dealers are taken off our streets. Approximately eighty percent of our felony cases are somehow related to drugs. Brown County leads the State of Ohio in unintentional drug overdose deaths per capita, and that trend must stop. I was instrumental in forming the Brown County

Drug and Major Crimes Task Force in early 2015, and I will continue to support its growth and expansion. I will also collaborate with our local law enforcement agencies and our local schools to put together educational programs warning our children of the dangers and consequences of drug use. As your Prosecutor, I pledge that my door will always be open to listen to citizen concerns and suggestions regarding making our community a safer place. How did your tenure in the office prepare you for the top job? As the First Assistant Prosecutor for the last four years, every felony case in Brown County has crossed my desk. It has been my responsibility to review those cases

and present them to the grand jury. I have also handled many felony prosecutions in Common Pleas Court. I have successfully tried murder cases, rape cases, and major drug cases. I have handled cases in every court in this county. I have formed a strong relationship with all Brown County law enforcement agencies, allowing us to build stronger cases and more effective prosecutions. I will continue to work with all law enforcement agencies to give you, the citizens of Brown County, a team of leaders that make you proud! Dennis Varnau is retired and is a resident of Georgetown. The following are his answers to questions submitted to him by the Brown County Press. Why are you running

for prosecuting attorney? In my opinion: 1.) The corruption present in our current prosecutor’s office, State AG Office, and BCI, is equal to or greater than that existing in the U.S. AG’s Office and FBI. 2.) Millions of dollars are missing or not accounted for throughout the whole “hospital deal.” 3.) Homicides have not been properly and thoroughly investigated; and, 4.) Documentation exists that indicates the prosecutor’s office may have been involved in, or complicit with, multiple illegal actions. 5.) I am not convinced any current assistant prosecutor, in Jessica Little’s Office, could dissociate himself/herself enough to investigate potential illegal activity that may have occurred within Ms. Little’s

administrations. What would your priorities be if elected? I will: 1.) Donate my salary to the assistant prosecutor’s office salary budget so I can hire top-notch experienced prosecuting attorneys to handle all daily legal functions. 2.) Hire a former fraud and corruption investigator for the U.S. State Department as my Senior Prosecutor. 3.) Investigate the “hospital deal” for Ohio unconstitutional contract modifications of former hospital employee contracts; money laundering; violations of the Medicaid Fraud Act; and check to make sure the proper legal requisites were followed prior to and completion of the multiple hospital sales and monies bequeathed.

What policies or procedures would you change if elected? I will: 1.) Eliminate politics, cronyism, and favoritism to establish an independent, unbiased prosecutor’s office. 2.) Hold all elected officials and government employees to the same legal standards as county citizens, including everyone in my office. 3.) Make sure (as much as possible) innocent individuals are never prosecuted and sent to jail or prison. 4.) Institute random drug testing of all office personnel, including myself. 5.) Make sure ALL evidence, pro and con, is objectively provided to grand juries to eliminate any political bias or personal preferences.

New rules and regulations for livestock producers Last week I discussed the Veterinarian Feed Directive that will become the standard as of January 1, 2017. This will change the way antibiotics can be used in feed for livestock producers. There will be a number of educational opportunities in the area in the next few weeks. These training sessions that will give producers the opportunity to listen to the rules and regulations. This will also be an opportunity to ask questions and find out how these changes will impact your operation in the future when it comes to managing the prevention of illness in your livestock. Here is a list of educational opportunities that I am currently aware of in the area. I am sure more will be added soon. Cherry Fork Farm Supply will begin with social hour from 5:00 pm until 6:00 pm on Tuesday, No-

vember 15. Dinner will begin at 6:00 and the program begins at 6:30 at the Cherry Fork Community Center. Please RSVP by November 12 at the mill (937) 695-0264. The topics will include: New Regulations and Use of Certain Antibiotics; A Veterinarian’s Perspective of How the Process Will Work; Which Antibiotics are affected and Product Availability; and Feed Company Reaction and Your Current Feeds. Master Feed Mill in Hillsboro will be presenting a program on November 17 at the Elk’s in Hillsboro at 6:30 pm. The date and location is tentative at this time. I will have more details next week.

Union Stockyards will also host an educational program for the VFD on November 29 at the yards. The meal will be at 6:00 pm and the meeting will begin at 7:00 pm. There may be more added in the near future. I will try to keep dates and times in this column. Have You Stored Your Sprayers? Here we are in the last week of October and only had a light frost on Tuesday morning. Harvest has had very little interruptions due to weather this year, so there has not been much down time unless it has been mechanical problems. With this weather harvest of grain, or planting of wheat, has been a priority for many producers this time of the year. Hopefully all sprayers were cleaned and rinsed out properly when they were last used. Were they

also winterized? This is something I normally think of about 8 pm on the night the forecast is calling for below freezing temperatures for the first time in the fall. There has been at least once that it didn’t hit me and I had problems the following spring. Yes cracks and splits in equipment that caused some delay in getting things done the following spring. There is a good article in the CORN newsletter that addresses the proper ways to clean, rinse and winterize your spray equipment to prevent damage to the equipment. The entire article can be found at

http://corn.osu.edu. As always, if you do not have the internet and would like to read the information, stop by your local OSU Extension Office and we will provide you with a copy. Controlling Problem Weeds In the next few weeks you may still need that sprayer to control problem weeds like Poison Hemlock. This year has been especially bad for some weeds. Johnsongrass was a problem and remember it can be a problem in fields that are being grazed. The problem can be from drought like conditions and nitrate

poisoning or even worse with prussic acid after a killing frost. The Poison Hemlock is the one that you may want to spray in the next few weeks. This is a plant that will stay green for a while after the first frost and continue to grow for some time. It will be primed and ready to take off in the early spring, so controlling it now may be your best option. Products like crossbow or 2,4D will do a good job on it this fall. Preferably spray on a warm fall day and then be prepared to go back in the spring to clean up what you may have missed with the first application.
