THE BROWN COUNTY
GOP wins big at ballot box The 2012 election in Brown County saw some some close races and heavy GOP success. Current Democrat county commissioners Ralph Jennings and Bill Geschwind lost to Republican challengers Barry Woodruff and Daryll Gray. Jennings was also opposed by Independent Chuck Krainz. Every other Republican on the local ballot was also victorious, leaving Brown County Engineer Todd Cluxton and Municipal Judge Joseph Worley the only county Democrats remaining in office. Cluxton was unopposed and Worley was not on the ballot this year. “It was the gallant effort
of our volunteers that did it for us”, said Brown County Republican Party Chairman Paul Hall. “We made sure that nearly every voter had a GOP slate card in their hands when it was time to vote.” Hall added “We are proud of our slate of candidates and look forward to their successful terms of office.” The closest race was for Brown County Sheriff, with incumbent Dwayne Wenninger defeating challenger Josh Black by 295 votes. There are approximately 550 provisional and absentee ballots remaining to count, but Black would have to get four of those votes to every one for Wenninger to make up the deficit. The margin of victory in
all the other races were outside the number of provisional and absentee ballots remaining. The provisional ballots cannot be counted until after Nov. 16. The election results will be certified by the Brown County Board of Elections after those votes are counted and the totals are verified. One of the largests margins was for County Auditor Doug Green. Green was a candidate for Ohio House of Representatives District 66 against Democrat Ken Mcneely. Green received 75 percent of the vote. McNeely told The Brown County Press that he intends to run for the seat again in 2014. Green will take office the CONTINUED ON PAGE 10

Western Brown levy firmly rejected by voters BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press
Wayne Gates/THE BROWN COUNTY PRESS
An Emergency Operating Levy for the Western Brown School District failed by a wide margin on Nov. 6.
The six year Emergency Operating Levy for the Western Brown Local School District failed by almost 1000 votes. Now, one million dollars must be cut from the school district budget. That result shocked and disappointed supporters of the levy, including Western Brown Superintendent Christopher Burrows. “It saddens me for the almost 3000 supporters that voted for us”, Burrows said. Burrows said he was concerned that as a result of the vote, “The next steps that we have to take will hurt the educational quality for our kids.” Those steps will include
cancelling transportation in January for all students within a two mile radius of schools within the district. The high school transportation exclusion zone will remain at five miles. The changes in transportation are expected to save the district approximately $400,000 per year. Burrows also said that seven to nine teachers or other staff members and one to three administrators will also be cut, beginning in July of 2013. Burrows said the transportation cuts are starting in January because “We don’t want to deficit spend in 2013. The more you go in the hole, the harder it is to climb out of it.” Burrows said he is already being asked by peo-
ple in the community whether the district will come back to the voters in May. Such a decision is up to the school board, but Burrows had a quick answer to the question. “I will not take a recommendation to the board for another levy until I have 75 to 100 people in my office saying ‘I will help you.’. Until I feel there is a commitment within the community to support it, I feel that it’s a waste of the district’s time and resources to do this”, Burrows said. Burrows is also concerned that students will leave the Western Brown School District in bigger numbers, taking approxiCONTINUED ON PAGE 9
Ohio EPA tells Aberdeen to Mt. Orab to add fire sub-station fix water system problems BY Martha B. Jacob The Brown County Press
CMYK
BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press The Village of Aberdeen received notice Oct. 29 from the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency that it has two “significant deficiencies” in its water supply system. The village has until Nov. 28 to correct the deficiencies or furnish a plan on how to deal with them...or face up to $50,000 dollars a day in fines. The maximum penalty is $25,000 per day for each violation. The deficiencies were noted during the regular sanitary survey inspection performed by the Ohio EPA. The first deficiency addresses the fact that the village only has one well in service. “This is a significant deficiency because it leaves the village of Aberdeen with the potential of losing their water supply and having no backup”, said the letter addressed to Aberdeen Mayor

Harry Foxworthy. “The village must inspect Well #1 within 14 days of the receipt of this letter. Repairs to the well shall be completed within 30 days of the receipt of this letter.” The letter continued that if Well #1 cannot be repaired and put back into service, the village must submit plans to secure an alternate supply of water to the Ohio EPA within sixty days. The other significant deficiency that was noted was that a service connection at the village waste water treatment plant lacked appropriate backflow protection. “This is a significant deficiency that could be a risk to public health”, states the letter. “An appropriate backflow prevention device/method must be installed on that line within 30 days of this letter to minimize the sanitary risk”, the letter continued. Foxworthy said the village was working on the response to the Ohio EPA and would work to comply in correcting the deficiencies. Following the meeting, Council Member Billie Eitel took a different view. “We can’t comply with those regulations. The village simply doesn’t have the money to do it”, Eitel said. Heather Lauer of the Ohio EPA said that the agency is empowered to
levy fines, but does so as a last resort, preferring that the money be spent to correct the problems. “We understand that funding for many municipalities and businesses is tight. We would rather see time and resources be directed into a facility’s coming into compliance with the law so that people can have clean drinking water.”, Lauer said. Lauer added that the Ohio EPA had a fund for low-interest loans to entities with approved projects. The letter continued with eleven recommendations for the village. The first of these makes clear the feelings of the Ohio EPA toward the current state of the villages water system. “The Ohio EPA Division of Drinking and Groundwater has advised Aberdeen of the need for improvement to their water supply in repeated sanitary surveys. Based on Aberdeen’s lack of action, the Agency recommends the village connect to a nearby water system because the state of the water system demonstrates the inability of the village to operate their own plant. An action for improvements to the water system needs to be taken immediately.” The village committed to building a new water plant in 2011, but voted to halt construction in March. Currently, the village is CONTINUED ON PAGE 9
Mt. Orab Village Council members and Mayor Bruce Lunsford were very somber at the November 5 meeting. They were still affected by the passing of fellow council member Kenneth Sheffield. Councilman Sheffield passed away suddenly October 21. Lunsford asked for a moment of silence to honor their friend. Following the recognition of Sheffield’s service to the village, council ap-
proved several purchase contracts. One contract was for the purchase of property, approximately one acre, and an 80 by 56 foot building at the northeast corner of Eastwood and Hess Road in Sterling Township. The building and property is owned by LAH Property Enterprises, LLC (Timothy Hale). “We are very excited by the purchase of this building,” Lunsford said. “The village is making this purchase along with the Sterling Township Trustees and
the costs will be shared equally. “We bought this building and an additional .815 acres of land for $150,000 which is a great price since Jeff Stine, (engineer for Mt. Orab) said that the building alone is appraised at over $300,000.” Lunsford added that the .815 acres is part of the Hale Property Subdivision and can only be used for village or township purposes. Another contract was approved between the Mt. Orab Fire Department and CONTINUED ON PAGE 9

Questions about Medicare answered during Nov. 7 free “Medicare Check-up” in Georgetown BY Martha B. Jacob The Brown County Press Brown County residents attended a free “Medicare Check-up” on November 7 held at the Adams/Brown Community Action in Georgetown. According to Kathleen Sebelius, United States Secretary of Health and Human Services, 11,000 Baby Boomers a day, become eligible for Medicare. The recent “Medicare Check-up” event, sponsored by OSHIIP (Ohio Senior Health Insurance Information Program) was intended to help people review changes to Medicare and determine their best coverage option for 2013.

Ohio Senior Health Insurance Information Program (OSHIIP) trainer Kendra Thompson spoke to a group of Brown County residents about how to apply for and understand Medicare.
Kendra Thompson, a trainer with OSHIIP, led the
session moving step by step through the process of applying for Medicare’s Part A, Part B, Part C and Part D. “I am here today to update everyone here on the most recent Medicare updates, changes and options,” Thompson began. “First let me say that Medicare is a federal health insurance program administered by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services for anyone who is 65 and older, they are disabled at any age or they have been diagnosed with end-stage renal disease.” She continued, “Basically Medicare offers two options including option CONTINUED ON PAGE 9

2012 Mt. Orab Christmas Parade
B R O A D S H E E T
The signs are up...the floats are under construction... and new costumed characters have been purchased by the Village of Mt. Orab, in preparation of the 2012 Christmas Parade. The Mt. Orab Christmas Parade will begin at 6 p.m. on Saturday, November 24 (rain date Sunday, November 25). The 10 members of the Mt. Orab Parade Committee (including Mayor Bruce Lunsford) have been working diligently for several weeks on the nine floats they sponsor. Missy Schneider and Becky Lunsford (both committee members) spend all their free time working on the floats. “Each of our floats get a lot of personal attention,” Schneider said. “This years parade is gearing up to be a huge event. “We’ve added even more costumed characters including new elf costumes and a couple of surprises we’re trying to keep secret, but they are really special.” Because the parade is held in the evening, floats are decorated with holiday lights and lots of glitter. Every float glistens and thrill children and adults of all ages. This year’s Grand Marshall will be announced at a later date. The event will include nearly 100 entries but the committee is still accepting applications for entries. Also appearing in the parade will be stilt walkers, segways, school bands, fire equipment from around the county, local organizations and many, many more. “Anyone interested in being in the Mt. Orab Christmas Parade can actually download an entry from our website,” Schneider added. Our website is www.mtoraboh.us.com. Registration forms can also be picked up at the mayors office.

The causes of most childhood cancers are unknown and cannot be prevented. Childhood cancer occurs regularly, randomly and spares no ethnic group, economic class or geographic region, according to the American Cancer Society. In an effort to help raise money for research, students in the seven first grade classes at Mt. Orab Elementary have kicked off ‘Alex’ Lemonade Stand Foundation’ (ALSF) campaign, in hopes of raising $100. According to first grade teacher Tina Kidd, the first graders are excited and working hard to raise money for the foundation. “October was ‘Red Ribbon Month’, Kidd explained, “Our theme this year was ‘Lend a Helping Hand.’ “One of our teachers, Emily Young, researched online for organizations that we could get involved in that would incorporate our ‘Lend a Helping Hand’ theme.” Kidd said all seven first grade teachers are participating in the campaign, including herself, Young, Michelle Germann, LouAnn Dick, Monica Bolender, Jennifer Taylor and Margaret Eagan. “We sent letters home with our students about the event and gave each child a small cup which they filled with change and brought back to school on Fridays,” Kidd added. “The ALSF sent us a picture book to read to the kids and an online video on how the foundation began.” She continued, “We encouraged the students to ask their parents if they could work for money, and they have worked very hard for this event.” ALSF originated in 2000 at the request of Alexandra Alex” Scott of Manchester, Connecticut.
Alex was diagnosed with neuroblastoma, a type of childhood cancer just after her first birthday. Her parents were told that if she beat the cancer it was doubtful that she would ever walk again. But she surprised all her doctors by learning to walk. The day after her fourth birthday, Alex received a stem cell transplant and as she dramatically improved, she told her mother that when she got out of the hospital she wanted to have a lemonade stand. She said she wanted to raise money for other children to be able to have the same surgery she did. Alex held her first lemonade stand that same year, and raised an amazing $2,000 for ‘her hospital’. News spread quickly and people from all over the world held their own lemonade stands and donated the proceeds to Alex and her cause. Alex passed away in August of 2004 at age eight, but her legacy lives on through the Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation. To date, the ALSF has raised more $55 million which all went towards finding a cure for the disease that took Alex’s life. “Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation campaign” will be going on every day at Mt. Orab Elementary School until November 16,” Kidd said. “Then on November 15 during our parent /teacher’s conferences, we will have our own lemonade stand available to everyone. “On our last day of the event we will also have the lemonade stand in operation all day except at lunch time between 10:30 a.m. until noon.” She said that the kids are very excited about the fundraiser and talk about it every day. “The classrooms have challenged each other and a tally is kept on how much the classes have raised,” she said. “We’ve incorpo-
I was walking through Western Brown High School on Wednesday morning, the day after the defeat of Western Brown’s 5.9 mills operating levy, and was stopped by a high school student. He said, “Mr. Burrows, you look sad today, where is your smile?” I immediately smiled and responded “I am sad. My heart aches for you, your peers, the staff and all stakeholders of the Western Brown Local School District.” He then replied, “You know the greatest inventions and ideas always happen during tough times.” I smiled again and thanked the young man for putting Christopher J. Burrows, everything into perspective for me. Superintendent Western From Washington D.C. to the state Brown Local Schools capitol in Columbus to our local tax base, we have been stripped of nearly $2 million dollars over the past two years. To put this in perspective it is the equivalent of 40 teachers. I want to take this opportunity today to magnify the effect and more importantly the void left behind when you lose 40 teachers. Those 40 teachers collectively have 80 eyes, 80 arms and 40 hearts. What does that have to do with anything, you are asking? Well, as the superintendent of schools my number one job is to provide a climate for children where they feel safe and secure to learn without the fear of distraction, humiliation, harassment and intimidation. My second most important job is to provide a world class education to all of our students. Giving them opportunities that will set them up for success in the ever changing 21st Century. I am pleased to share with you that just this past year alone, our surveys told us that 97% of our students feel safe at school. On top of this our district rating from The Ohio Department of Education was raised to Excellent. Our loving and caring staff, day in and day out, do whatever it takes to ensure the needs of our students are met. They have taken on the philosophy, “You must capture the student’s heart before you can engage their brain.” Now I will explain how losing eyes, arms and hearts will affect the mission and vision of the district as well as the expectation from the community. Without 80 eyes, students and the buildings will not be as secure. Without 80 arms, we will have students that need to be embraced and loved go without. Without 40 hearts pounding to serve the needs of our students we will have more kids without someone to lean on when they are having a bad day. This saddens me. Where have the days gone when the community took care of kids and the kid’s school system took care of the community? For all of you that proudly support Western Brown and all that it stands for and strives to become, I personally thank you from the bottom of my heart. I encourage you to send me an email so I can add you on my list of contact persons to help us plan for the future of our schools and our community. Mother Theresa once said, ”I can do things you can’t, you can do things I can’t, but together we can move mountains.” It is the vision of Western Brown Schools to become the educational beacon of Southern Ohio. The school that all students want to attend, the school where all people want to work and the school where all parents want to send their children. Please join us as we make this dream a reality.

Teen drivers remain one of Ohio’s most at risk groups
E V E N
Teen drivers remain one of Ohio’s most at risk groups when it comes to becoming involved in a traffic crash. From 2009-2011, teen drivers were at fault in 114,737 traffic crashes, resulting in 50,492 injuries and 329 deaths on Ohio’s roadways. Teen drivers were at fault in 10% of all fatal crashes during the same time period. While crash causes may vary, speed-related circumstances accounted for more than half (56%) of crashes caused by teen drivers. That is why it is important for teen drivers and their parents to be aware of the dangers new drivers face and for these new drivers to make safe and responsible decisions while driving. “No one else is in control of the vehicle except for the person behind the wheel,” said Lt. Randy McElfresh, commander of the Georgetown Post. “That is why responsibility, awareness and safety are so important for our youngest drivers.” Teen drivers are inexperienced and at times can make poor decisions. As a result, in August 2012, the Patrol partnered with the Ohio High School Athletic Asso-
LIEUTENANT RANDY MCELFRESH ciation to launch a program to educate Ohio high school students and student-athletes about the dangers new-drivers face. The You Are In Control program emphasizes the importance of decision making and reminds students that they are in control when behind the wheel. While education and awareness are extremely important, the Patrol also aims to change driver behavior through traffic enforcement. From 2009-2011, 60% of the citations issued to teen drivers were for speed-related violations and 19% were for failure to wear a safety belt. Teen drivers are encouraged to plan ahead when traveling to or from school or school events in order to eliminate rushing from one location to another. They are also reminded that safety belts save lives and they should encourage everyone in their vehicle to buckle-up, every time.

the polling place on Branch Hill-Guinea Pike. Voting was done with a pencil. Sometimes our mother would let my sister and me mark the boxes for her. “Be careful,” Mom would say. “You have to do this right because I can only vote once.” And so, the importance of voting was ingrained in me long before I was old enough to cast a ballot of my own. Since becoming an adult, I have never failed to vote in an election. Tuesday, November 6, people throughout America went to their local polling places and voted on a broad range of elective offices as well as state and local issues. Unfortunately, fewer than 60 percent of Americans who are entitled to vote typically do so. My name wasn’t on the ballot this time, and it would have been inappropriate for me to suggest in this column who you should have voted for in any race. But if you were registered to vote, I hope you did so. I grew up believing that voting is not just our right as
Americans, but our responsibility. There is no greater freedom than being allowed to choose who will lead us. Your vote ultimately helps decide how our tax dollars are spent. My mother and father used to say that if you don’t exercise your right to vote, you don’t have a right to gripe about the results. OK, that’s not actually the case thanks to the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. But even as a child, I understood their point. The officials we elect have a responsibility to be responsive to us. If we like what they do, we should keep them in power. If not, we should change course. We live in the best nation in the world, and that’s largely because the United States has the fairest voting system possible. Some Americans made the ultimate sacrifice to protect our rights. And the right to select who will lead us – especially in difficult times such as this – is something to be cherished.
2012 Brown County Traffic Death Update According to the Ohio Department of Public Safety’s Crash Statistics website, Brown County has had three fatal crashes resulting in four deaths during the time period of January 1 through September 30, 2012. In comparison, we had just one traffic crash-related death for the same time period in 2011. There are several types of costs related to traffic deaths—perhaps the most difficult are the heartache and suffering for those loved ones who are left behind. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that each traffic crash-related death has a comprehensive cost of at least $3,366,388 associated with it. So when you get down to dollars and cents, the traffic death-related financial cost experienced in Brown County to date in 2012 is $13,465,552! Please keep in mind that this figure doesn’t include all of the financial burdens realized with injury and property damage-only crashes!

SHERROD BROWN home states of record that differ from where they are actually stationed. This new law will help members of the Armed Forces receive a CDL, so they can get a civilian job following their service – regardless of where they are stationed. If a servicemember can operate a truck on a military base in Afghanistan, then she should be able to use those skills on the road in Ashtabula or Akron or Alliance. And this bipartisan legislation passed both the House and the Senate with support from the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association, the American Trucking Associations, and the American Legion. Servicemembers shouldn’t have to wonder whether or not they’ll be able to find a job when they leave the service. Unfortunately many do. As citizens of a grateful nation, we have a responsibility to assist the thousands of servicemembers – especially when it comes to securing a job after they’ve helped to keep our country secure. As Americans, we all have an obligation – government and the private sector – to serve those who’ve served us. Let’s not limit our gratitude to our nation’s heroes to the 11th day of the 11th month. We need to honor the members of our Armed Forces every day. One great way to do so is to ensure they have access to good-paying, middle class jobs that they’ve earned.

Today, on Veterans Day, we’ll come together to salute the many Ohioans and Americans who keep our country safe. But expressions of our immense gratitude and deep commitment to our veterans, servicemembers, and military families shouldn’t wait until a holiday. Members of our Armed Forces need us now. That’s why I visited the Cleveland-Cuyahoga County Port Authority to outline a new bipartisan bill I fought to pass through both houses of Congress that will cut through the red tape that stands between servicemembers and civilian jobs. Many of our servicemembers acquire skills in the military that can translate to the civilian workforce. But these new veterans often face red tape and roadblocks when they try to apply their military skills and training to the job market. Under existing law, servicemembers are unable to apply training received at their military installation or base toward receiving a Commercial Drivers License, or CDL, in their home state. And there are more than 200,000 available jobs in the trucking industry nationwide, thanks in part to growth in manufacturing and the emerging natural gas industry here in Ohio. So it makes sense to connect servicemembers with trucking companies looking to hire. The Military Commercial Driver’s License Act will make it easier for servicemembers to apply skills training received on a military base toward earning a Commercial Drivers License in their home state by eliminating a provision that says training must be done in the state issuing the license.

F’ville Schools to begin SRTS program BY Raegan White Superintendent, Fayetteville Perry Local Schools The Fayetteville-Perry Local Schools are in the process of developing a Safe Routes to School (SRTS) program to encourage safe walking and biking to and from school. SRTS is a national and international movement to create safe, convenient, and fun opportunities for children to bicycle and walk to and from schools. The program has been designed to reverse the decline in children walking and bicycling to schools. The Ohio SRTS program is funded by the Federal Highway Administration and administered by the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT). In Ohio, the first step in developing a SRTS program is the development of a School Travel Plan (STP). The STP is a written document that outlines a community's intentions for enabling students to engage in active transportation (i.e. walking or bicycling) as they travel to and from school. By completing a STP, a community will have a guiding document to assist in improving walking and bicycling conditions for students, including strategies for promoting and encouraging active transportation to school. An approved STP is the requirement for further funding requests from ODOT. For additional information please visit ODOT's website www.dot.state.oh .us/saferoutes . Fayetteville-Perry's program is just in its infancy as it began in early 2012 with the distribution of surveys to parents of school age children (K-8) regarding their opinions on the current walking and biking environment. In October,

Ask for a show of hands from anyone in any crowd if they know someone who has cancer, has beaten cancer or died from cancer and chances are, every hand would go up. When an Eastern Local School District employee was diagnosed with cancer, the students at Eastern Middle School couldn’t stop talking about it and wanted to do something to help. Intervention Specialist Amy Rau listened to her students. “A couple of students that I’ve known for several years, Allison Day and Katy Dawson, came to me and wanted me to help them organize a fundraiser for cancer,” Rau explained. “All the students in every grade at the middle school were asked to bring in donations. The kids said they would like to donate the money they raised to the American Cancer Society and also to the Adams County Cancer Center in Seaman.” Rau said that the students were given 15 days to collect $1000 which was their goal. They were asked to check under couch cush-
the project team conducted intensive walking audits of the community. The audits primarily focused on the areas around the campus and the Village of Fayetteville. On Thursday, November 15 from 5-6pm in the High School Library the project team will host a public open house to unveil the DRAFT STP, answer questions about what's included (and next steps), and to gather any additional public input. Please stop by and provide us with your comments or have your questions answered. We look forward to seeing you there!
were very, very close.” She continued, “My dad died on Halloween, so October 31 was set as the last day for the fundraiser. “With one day left the kids had only raised a little over $700,” Rau said with a big smile on her face. “So my son Austin and I agreed that we would both have our heads shaved if every student at the school could bring in just one more dollar. Well, they took that challenge seriously and sure enough when all the money was counted, they had raised $1,031.38. They kept their end of the deal, and Austin and I kept ours!” On Friday, November 2, Mrs. Rau and Austin sat down and both had their head’s shaved in front of all the students.

“Some of the girls tried to talk me out of it,” she said with a chuckle, “They kept saying ‘No, Mrs. Rau, you can’t cut all your hair off.’ They were shocked as they watched my hair hit the floor.” Rau said she had recently watched a movie called 212 Degrees and it’s message has stuck with her, “212 degrees is the temperature for the boiling point,” she said. “Just one degree over that makes all the difference. So by allowing my head to be shaved, I feel like a gave that extra one degree that made the difference. “And when each of those students brought in that one extra dollar to meet their goal, they too made a difference.”

It stands to reason that the more something is tested, the safer we can assume it is. The same holds true for drugs: The more people you test them on, the more confident you can be about what side effects they can have. Because of this, new drugs are actually more dangerous than older, tried and true drugs. The most obvious example of this would be the drug Vioxx. Vioxx was a new type of arthritis drug that was supposed to be easier on the stomach. All arthritis medications have the potential to cause bleeding ulcers in some people, and Vioxx was in a new class that was supposed to avoid the ulcer problem. After Vioxx had been on the market for a while it was found to double the chances of heart attacks
HEALTH MATTERS TOM CALLAHAN, RPH and/or stroke. After reviewing the newer data the FDA decided to take Vioxx off the market. It is estimated that as many as 20,000 Americans may have suffered a heart attack because of Vioxx according to the Wall Street Journal. There are numerous problems with newly approved drugs. New drugs are usually tested in relatively young, healthy volunteers. The studies are relatively short, especially compared to patients who may take the drugs for the next 10 or 20 years. The studies are conducted on several thousand people

compared with several million people that will be taking the drug after it is approved. Because of all of these things, it is impossible to know just how safe a new drug will be. A recent survey found that around 40 percent of respondents wrongly believed that the FDA only approves “extremely effective” drugs. Let’s look at two different problems with that belief: First, the FDA does not require a new drug to be more effective than a drug that is already on the market. The new drug simply has to be more effective than a placebo. Second, most drugs are approved because they can accomplish one goal, and so it is assumed that they can accomplish something else. For instance, drugs to lower cholesterol just have to prove that they are able to lower cholesterol levels, and it is then assumed that lower cholesterol levels will lead to fewer cardiovascular problems. The clinical trials to prove that these drugs actually decrease the number of heart attacks would take too long to perform. In that same survey, 25 percent of respondents thought that FDA approval means a drug has no serious side effects. The acceptable side effects for a

drug are relative to its use, so if a drug is used to treat cancer the acceptable side effects are more severe than if the drug is being used to treat diabetes or heart disease. If a drug’s side effects are rare but severe, the results can be scary if the drug is a blockbuster drug. That was the case with Vioxx. Side effects that only occur one in a thousand may not be recognizable when it is tested in four or five thousand people, but if the drug is used by millions of people that would mean thousands will suffer the serious side effect. So next time you need a prescription remember that the newest great drug on the market that has gotten all the press coverage may not necessarily be the best choice. Also keep in mind that a generic drug is not only cheaper, but it has a better history of being tested in millions of people like you and me.

NEW BIRTH In John 3:5 Jesus said: “...Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.” He was speaking to the man Nicodemus. Nicodemus was a very educated man and one who was certainly aware of the scriptures. In order to be a member of the Sanhedrin, which he was, it would be required of him to know the Old Testament. It was he who came to Jesus by night and said to Him: “...Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.” Jesus answered him in what we might consider a strange way. He said: “...Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” Nicodemus responded: “...How can a man be born again when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born?” If a second physical birth was even possible, it would not make any difference. We would be reborn a sinner just as we were born a sinner the first time; nothing would change. We would still need a spiritual birth. When God made man, He made him out of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and man became a living soul. He was primarily a soul which was housed in a body. We are too. Adam sinned and his sin became hereditary. We have all inherited it. As a result of Adam’s sin every person is born a sinner and every person is born spiritually dead. That is why Jesus said: “...Ye must be born again.” Nicodemus did not understand so Jesus told him: “...Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.” The first birth is accompanied by water; the baby is enclosed in it in the womb. It is a part of every childbirth. The second birth is the birth of the spirit. It is the Holy Spirit that quickens your spirit. In John 6:63 Jesus said: “It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profited nothing...” The word quicken means to give life to. When you receive Christ as your Saviour the Holy Spirit quickens your spirit and you are no longer spiritually dead. Every person born is in

need of being born spiritually. Jesus was saying that until you are born spiritually you cannot enter into the kingdom of God. Ladies and gentlemen, you can join a lot of different religions in this world, but you cannot become a Christian by joining a religion, whatever it may be. You can join a church, you can join a union, you can join a club, but you must be born again to become a Christian! You cannot join an organization of any kind and thereby become a Christian. In verse 6 Jesus said: “That which is born of the flesh is flesh...” That first birth is nothing but that first birth. That is all it is; it is nothing more than that. “and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.” You must be born of the Spirit. That is your second birth. Jesus said: “Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.” Now do not get me wrong, if a baby dies it will go to heaven. He is in the state of innocence. But it does not take long for us to outgrow that state and when we do we must be born again in order to get to heaven when we die. In verses 14-15 Jesus said: “And Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.” Jesus was lifted up on that old rugged cross where He died for our sins. But He did not stay dead! Three days later He arose from the dead and lives forevermore. Do you want to be born again? Jesus said: “...That whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have eternal life.” Romans 10:9: “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.” Romans 10:13: “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”

ODOT saves $10 million in salt costs for upcoming winter The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) today announced that state and local governments are projected to save more than $10 million this winter as a result of a change in the way salt contracts are obtained. In the past, ODOT asked salt companies to bid on contracts on a county-bycounty basis. This year, the agency gave salt companies the option to provide bids on entire ODOT districts in addition to individual counties. The result is a statewide savings of $13.11 per ton of salt, which adds up to
$10,159,700. “We never truly know what Mother Nature has in store for us each season, but one thing we do know is that ODOT will be fully prepared and our work this winter will cost Ohio taxpayers less money,” said ODOT Director Jerry Wray. “This is yet another example of how we are demonstrating our success of identifying efficiencies here at ODOT so that we can provide the same great level of service to our customers but do it at a lower cost.” Last year, the state aver-
aged $54.02 per ton of salt ordered. This year, the statewide average is $40.91 per ton. In addition to lower costs for ODOT, local governments will also realize significant savings because many of them combine their salt needs with ODOT’s in order to improve purchasing power. In addition to the lower price per ton, ODOT alone expects to purchase 209,000 tons less salt this coming winter. Since last year’s winter was so mild, huge stockpiles of salt already exist.

Plans are to turn it in to a substation for the Mt. Orab Fire Department. The back half of the building will be used by the township trustees to house equipment and other items. According to Sterling Township Trustee Joe Horton, the trustees agreed on the joint venture with the village and the fire department at its October 29 meeting. “This location will be of major importance for the safety and the well-being of the residents of Sterling Township,” Horton said. “Fire and EMS response time will be much faster
reaching the residents. “Thanks to shared costs of a new fire station, residents will have quality services. This is very positive for the future of Sterling Township.” The contract between the two entities is for five years, which will automatically continue for another five years unless terminated by either the village or the trustees. All costs incurred will be divided equally between the two parties. “Since the building was previously a mechanics garage to work on semi’s,” added Lunsford, “The three overhead doors are extremely tall. “This is an exceptional deal for Sterling Township as well as our fire department. This purchase was a no-brainer. Nothing will happen on it until after the
first of the year, but we are looking forward to beginning work on the project.” Council also made a motion to schedule a public hearing for Tuesday, December 11 to give NetBraze, LLC a 75% tax abatement as they finish construction on their building. NetBraze asked for the tax abatement late last year for the next 10 years after purchasing a piece of property at the corner of Apple Street and Front Street. The abatement is for the increased value of the property, which includes a 30,000 square foot industrial shell building. NetBraze has committed to creating 50 new jobs at the site over the next three years. During council’s October 18 meeting, members also approved an ordinance to

Thompson discussed at length Part A and Part B of the Medicare program, how they work, why they are needed and when the window was open to apply. “Medicare also offers many preventive benefits including a “Welcome to Medicare” physical exam at
no cost,” she added. Thompson said the following benefits are also available through Medicare including: • ultrasound screening for abdominal aortic aneurysm; • bone mass measurement, annual wellness exam and cardiovascular screening; • diabetes screening, services and supplies, obesity screening and depression screening; • vaccinations, glaucoma screening; • pap test and pelvic exam with clinical breast exam, mammogram and prostate cancer screening; • smoking cessation counseling and alcohol misuse screening. “Part B deductible and coinsurance is waived for
most of these preventive care services,” she said. Thompson also discussed secondary insurance programs, group health insurance, Medicaid and Medicare Supplemental Insurance. Throughout the meeting Thompson answered all questions from the audience for over an hour and then stayed after to sit down oneon-one with anyone who still had questions. She told the crowd that free health insurance information and services for people on Medicare is available by calling (800) 686-1578 or by visiting www.insurance.ohio.gov.

One of my patients presented with a taste disorder that has been going on for three months. He can’t taste much at all, and what he does taste is not good. Three months ago he went to the emergency room with blisters on his palate (most likely Herpes Simplex Virus type 1 which is the cold sore virus). He was treated with steroids (Prednisone) and Magic Mouthwash (usually a combination of Benadryl, Lidocaine, Maalox, and other soothing medicaments for pain). The sores cleared up in about a week, but he is still dealing with the taste problems. He has lost about 25 pounds, and his quality of life is obviously suffering. The loss of taste and/or smell is very common. What caused this? According to an article online by the American Academy of Family Physicians, the most common cause of taste and smell disturbance are sinus and nasal problems. But other causes are oral infections, oral appliances (dentures), Bells Palsy, medications, smoking, and head trauma. Aging also affects our taste and smell in a negative way. Total loss of taste (ageusia) is very rare be-
WORD OF MOUTH
DR. MICHELLE HECK cause there are many nerves responsible for transmitting taste information to the brain. Bad-tasting materials in the mouth can also cause alteration in taste, like the inflammation caused by gingivitis or periodontitis (gum disease). One often-overlooked area of taste disturbance is medication side effects. Dry mouth is a common side effect of most medicines, and that can cause taste disturbance. Also, ACE inhibitors and calcium channel blockers, which are used to treat high blood pressure, can cause problems with taste. There are also many other medicaments with this side effect, including antibiotics and steroids. Usually taste comes back with cessation of the medicine. What about my patient? What was causing his trouble? It could be the ACE inhibitor or calcium channel blocker he is taking, but he has been taking these for years, so that would be unlikely. He says he doesn’t have dry mouth. It could
be the Magic Mouthwash, though upon researching that online I couldn’t find any other cases of dysgeusia (taste disorder) with its use. It could be the Prednisone, as I did find others who have had similar trouble after taking this drug. But my guess is that it was the Herpes Simplex Virus. This virus invades the sensory nerves and lies latent (dormant) in them for the patient’s lifetime. Outbreaks occur for reasons unknown, but trauma seems to be a factor. The good news is that many taste disorders resolve spontaneously within a few months. People should be aware that without being able to taste, some will overindulge in sugar and salt to make up for their lack of taste. That has obvious implications for their health, especially for those with diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease. For the entire article on smell and taste, search for AAFP Smell and Taste: A Primary Care Approach. They have a large list of medicines that can cause trouble with smell and taste.

Testing your forage is critical this year Testing and Managing Your Feed Do you know what nutrients are in the feed that you are feeding your livestock? Testing forages is a good idea every year, but it may be more critical this year with some of the issues we have dealt with in the Ohio Valley with weather in 2012. If livestock is your business, you want them to perform well regardless if you have sheep, horses, goats, beef or dairy cattle, or other livestock. When the name of the game is performance, it is essential to provide the nutrients needed to produce pounds of gain, milk, and/or reproduce young. Considering the fact that in some cases we have corn stalks baled for feed after the corn was harvested, some corn chopped for silage because the corn did not produce enough grain to harvest for grain, and CRP ground was released for harvest well past the ideal time to make hay, we could have some low quality feed. For silage, we are past the amount of time it should take for ensiling to take effect so it can be tested. Round bales or square bales can be tested using a probe that we have at the OSU Extension Office. It would be a good idea to contact me in advance if you would like to use the hay probe, as it could already be loaned out. You need to pull from several bales to get a random and effective sample. There are a number of labs that can process the samples for around $25. With the price of supplements, it is recommended that you get a good handle on what feed you have available so you can plan ahead. A good strategy might involve utilizing the poorer quality feed by feeding it to the correct an-
DAVID DUGAN imal groups. Non-lactating females that are mid-gestation have lower nutritional needs than females that are near the end of the pregnancy or have just recently given birth with nursing young. Another example of increased nutritional needs would be first calf heifers which need your best feed. With this knowledge you could be prepared to purchase supplements when the forages will not meet the nutritional needs of the animals. Feed prices are expensive, however if you want performance out of your livestock you have to meet their nutritional needs. In order to best manage the feed you have, you need to know how good or poor it is. You can also take steps to reduce waste, but it takes time. Feeding round bales once or twice a week is convenient, but it is not the most efficient way to feed. Using feeders is another part of the plan that might need a second look when feed is short and expensive. There are a number of feeders for feeding round bales on the market. Some are more expensive than others, but it is like most things, you often get what you pay for. We are probably at least a month away from feeding very much hay, so you have some time to research the different feeding systems, get your feed tested so you can make the most of the feed you have, and have your animals pregnancy checked so you are feeding the feed to animals that have the best chance to perform and make a profit. If you want your feed to last throughout the winter
and your livestock to perform, it will be time and money well spent. Have Americans Forgot How to Work? Wow, how is that title for an attention getter? I can’t take credit for it, but thought it was worth talking about this week. The credit goes to Gary Truitt with Hoosier Ag Today from Indiana. The story appeared this week, so you can do a search for it if you want to read the entire story. It was also in the Beef Blog on Monday, Nov. 5, 2012. You can find it at theBeefBlog.com or I can e-mail it to you. My email is dugan.46@osu.edu or you can call me at (937) 515-2314 for a copy. The story starts out talking about how an average farmer got started. In most cases it would include doing chores before and after school, missing school during planting and harvesting of crops, and so on. This is not the case anymore for most of the youth today, even in a rural area. The story goes on and discusses future jobs, with over 1 million in agriculture being ready to retire within the next 5 years. The education system, and how “one size does not fit all”. The need for vocational education and the fact that Indiana has a Lt. Governor candidate discussing making agriculture classes as part of the core education classes. We have Ag/FFA programs in this area, unlike some of the counties that border us. I know that Pike and Scioto have few if any Agriculture Programs in the high schools. All three counties, Adams, Brown and Highland have strong programs and strong FFA Chapters. This is the final paragraph of the story as it appeared in Hoosier Ag Today. It summarizes it
well. Less than 2% of young people will ever work on a farm, only 30% will ever have a summer job. Today 50% of people under 30 are unemployed or underemployed. High school agriculture classes and some specialized post-secondary training can provide an abundant and well-paying career path for those who will be the future of our food, fiber, and fuel production system.

That person would hold the office of Brown County Auditor until January of 2015. They would have the option of standing for election in November of 2014. He added that anyone interested in applying for the county auditor position should contact a GOP Central Committee member. Brown County Prosecuting Attorney Jessica Little was re-elected with 60 percent of the vote over former prosecuting attorney Tom Grennan and Independent Dennis Varnau. Current Brown County Clerk of Courts Clark Gray and current Brown County Recorder Amy Jo Declaire were both re-elected with similar margins. Dr, Judith Varnau registered as a write-in candidate for County Coroner. She was the only write-in candidate to register for that office, therefore she will be elected. Each candidate, whether they won or lost, was quick to thank supporters and voters when contacted following the election. Doug Green “Thanks to all who supported me in the election, those who knocked on doors, those who spoke on my behalf, those who contributed in any way during the campaign.

The Power of Pollinators BY Faye Mahaffey Master Gardner Volunteer The walk to my mailbox provides the opportunity for me to observe a variety of events taking place in the landscape. There are still a few dandelions blooming brazenly in the lawn, a blanket flower opened up in spite of the snow, and my hostas on the hillside are finally blooming! On one of the warmer afternoons I even found a slow-moving bee on the front porch after the snow melted. I hope he realizes that he needs to find a warmer place very soon! As we start to plan for next year’s additions to our flower beds we should all take time to consider how we can help the pollinators. Denise Ellsworth, Program Director of the Honey Bee and Native Pollinator Education at the OSUE OARDC in Wooster, Ohio explains that when we are making changes in the garden we should think like a bee. Gardeners need to include flowers with attractive color patterns and aromas. Blue, yellow, purple, violet, and white flowers should be included in your design. Aim for yearround flowers, including early and late season bloom to help provide season-long sources of pollen and nectar. You should also consider using masses of color to attract pollinators. In small areas, consider planning single species together to increase visibility to pollinators and increase foraging efficiency. Other tips include: Create a habitat close to crops and gardens, focus on floral abundance and diversity, Use locally native plants to support more abundant and species-rich bee communities, include a diversity of flower shapes to attract many different pollinators, plant more than just cultivars and hybrids to draw pollinators, use garden plantings to connect fragmented habitats, make beefriendly plant choices, consider planting native shrubs, trees and perennials, include host plants for butterflies and moths, include a source of water and protection from wind to promote garden diversity, limit pesticide use in the landscape and use an integrated approach against pests. What exactly is IPM (Integrated Pest Management)? It is a systems approach that combines preventative techniques, non-chemical pest control methods and the wise use of pesticides with preference for products that are least harmful to human health and the environment. It is not the total elimination of pesticides, but an alternate approach to traditional pest control measures. If
you are interested in learning more about Integrated Pest Management be sure to visit the ohioline.osu.edu website. Also check out the free BeeSmart Pollinator Gardener App (if you have a smart phone) that provides information on selecting plants for pollinators specific to your area, or join the mailing list (TheBuzz@OSU) at beelab.osu.edu! If you are looking for a great gift for your gardening friends, you might consider building a home for bumblebees in their yard. Materials needed: Untreated 4x4 lumber, a small piece of wood for a roof, drill, drill bits, eye screws, hammer, nails, saw. 1. Find a 6 to 12-inch piece of untreated 4x4 wood. Cut a slight slant on one end. Find a 6x6 plank of wood for a roof (optional). 2. Drill holes of varying sizes, using 5/16 and 7/16 drill bits, to make holes about ¾ inches apart. Make the holes fairly deep, but do not drill all the way through the wood; bees will not use it if it’s open at both ends. 3. Nail the roof on the slanted end. If you desire, add eye hooks on the top and bottom to make it easy to hang. 4. Choose an east/southeast side of a building, fence or tree, with some shelter and angled down slightly if you did not add a roof. 5. Mount the house with the bottom 3-5 ½ feet above the ground. Do not move from spring until at least November. In the winter, clean out the holes (a pencil works well) to get it ready for the following spring. Resources to learn more about pollinators include: The Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation (www.xerces.org), Pollinator Partnership (www.pollinator.org), and OSU Bee Lab and Pollinatarium (Beelab.osu.edu). Have you ever considered adding lettuce or Swiss chard to your flower beds? Be sure to attend the gardening seminar on Thursday, November 15 at the Fincastle campus of Southern State Community College. Louis Mays, professor and librarian at SSCC, will speak about Edible Landscaping. All seminars are free and are held in the SSCC library from 6 - 7:30 p.m. Have you noticed weeds in your landscape? Remember that you want to have your beds as weed free as possible heading into winter! Remember my walk to the mailbox? I am taking a hoe with me tomorrow to “scratch out” those pesky little weeds!

Patrol reminds motorists that safety belts save lives There is simply no disputing that wearing a safety belt can save your life. That is why the Ohio State Highway Patrol is encouraging all motorists to buckle-up. In 2011, nearly 65 percent of the people killed on Ohio’s roadways were not wearing a safety belt. During the first eight months of 2012, safety belt citations by Ohio troopers are up 16 percent compared to the same time period last year. “We are reminded every day that far too many people are still failing to buckle-up,” said Colonel John Born, Patrol superintendent. “It is the easiest
thing you can do to protect yourself, your family and your friends.” According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, safety belts save over 13,000 lives every year and remain the single most effective thing you can do to protect yourself in a crash. According to Ohio’s 2011 Observational Seatbelt Survey, 84.12 percent of motorists were found to be in compliance with Ohio’s safety belt law. This is a significant increase from the 72.9 percent observed in 2002. While these rates have steadily in-
creased, far too many Ohioans still do not buckleup. Ohio’s safety belt law remains a secondary violation, however troopers continue zero tolerance enforcement when motorists are stopped for other violations and are found not be wearing their belt. Troopers ask that you wear your safety belt every time and insist that those who travel with you buckle-up as well. The Patrol reminds motorist to call #677 to report impaired drivers or drug activity.

‘Even race’ earns McAfee best ever state finish
B R O A D S H E E T
CMYK
E V E N
Heading into his third, and final, race at the Ohio High School Athletic Association State Cross Country Championships at National Trail Raceway in Hebron last Saturday morning, Georgetown runner Nick McAfee had just one thing on his mind. He wanted to earn a good enough finish to cap off his senior season with a trip to the award podium after placing in the top 16 in all of Division III. After putting in a determined and very strong effort, McAfee did just that. The senior runner dashed across the finish line in 15:59.16, a time that was just two seconds off his personal best, to earn a 10th place finish at state. In what was his third
straight trip to the state race, McAfee ran a steady race to break through and finally place at state. “I feel like it was a more even race,” McAfee said on Wednesday night at the Southern Buckeye Conference Fall Banquet. “I didn’t go out as hard as I usually do. The second mile I held on better and then that last mile I was just trying to pick off people in front of me.” A big help to McAfee at this year’s state race, at least according to Georgetown coach Chad Sexton, was the strong performance he put in the week before at the Division III regional race in Troy. While his time wasn’t near his best -- Sexton pointed out that every time was slower than usual at the Troy race -- he finished in third place, which was
the best he had every finished in a regional race. Coming into the state race off of that regional performance, Sexton felt McAfee was in the right frame of mind because he had finished right behind Samuel Prakel of Versailles (who won the state race) and Clayton Murphy of Tri-Village (who finished fourth at state). “The regional meet was a big one for him,” Sexton said on Wednesday night. “Just placing third and getting that confidence he needed going into state. That was a huge mark for him.” Running for the second straight year at National Trail Raceway helped McAfee some in that he knew the layout of the course a little better and where he could push forward.
He said he ran in a pack of three or four runners and that towards the end, in the final mile, they began to move up. The plan worked well because McAfee moved up to 10th place and nearly to ninth. Kody Wolfe of Racine Southern finished less than a second ahead of McAfee. All in all, though, McAfee was just happy to have reached his goal. “I was just shooting for place more than anything,” he said. “I wanted to get that podium spot that’s been elusive to me the past two years.” The state race wrapped up a very successful high school cross country career for McAfee. He won regular season races many times over, three straight CONTINUED ON PAGE 15
Eight months after being hit by car Shelton back up and running BY Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press Gloria Shelton had always told her children that after they turned 16 years old there would be no birthday parties or celebrations. As a mother of three children near or older than 16, she had put a lot of work into many birthday parties and figured that was as good as time as any to stop. That all changed on Oct. 14 when Gloria broke her own rule. It was on that day her son, Isaac, turned 17 and Gloria, friends and family surprised the Fayetteville High School junior with a birthday party. The day was for much more than just celebrating Isaac turning a year older, however. Nearly eight months after her son was struck by a car in a hit-skip accident on State Route 131 just west of US 50 near Fayetteville as he rode his bike to school early on March 20, 2012, the Shelton family and friends celebrated that Isaac was, simply put, still with them. It was also a reminder of just how far the young man has come in the just nearly eight short months since that fateful March day. In fact, Oct. 14 marked another big milestone for Isaac -- it was his final time trial race of the season on the competitive bike riding circuit. Yes, not only has Isaac recovered from the accident, he continues to ride his bike both for competition and fun, runs cross country for Fayetteville High School and is a manager for the Fayetteville football team. The fact he is able to do that just nearly eight months after the accident is no surprise to his mother. “He's very determined,” Gloria explained by phone recently. “He does it. He wasn't gonna let the accident stop him from what he loves doing.” That Tuesday morning in March started as many days do for Isaac. He got up early to ride his bike. His plan for that day was to take a 10 mile route to school to get in a little extra riding. Isaac remembers riding around Lake Lorelei before getting on State Route 131. Then there’s nothing. “I remember getting out of the lake about six o'clock, going up the hill, then I'm at the top of the hill and all the sudden -this (is) exactly how it is,” Isaac explained before the Southern Hills League cross country race at Ripley High School on Oct. 13. “I

remember waking up in the hospital. I'm like, 'Really? Huh.' I remember saying, 'Mom, we gotta get out of here. I got a race Sunday. I can't be here. How's my bike?' Something like that. That's pretty much all I remember from the accident.” Isaac would spend the next week at the University of Cincinnati intensive care unit (ICU) before spending three days at Children’s Hospital after being airlifted to the hospital. The injuries from the crash were numerous. He had a concussion and blood on his brain, which was absorbed. The T4 and T5 vertebrate were fractured so his surgeons inserted two rods and screws to fuse the T3-6 vertebrate together. He had serious road burn on his back and a 12 inch gash starting at his hip. But the injuries weren’t going to slow Isaac down. He was out of the hospital on March 30 despite his doctors telling him he could be there for a month. A back brace was necessary 24 hours a day. Initially, surgeons told the family he would be in brace for three months. Again, Isaac bucked the odds. He was out of it four weeks. “Even by the surgeons standards, they were all surprised how quickly he recovered,” Gloria said. “It was because of him.” For as quickly as he has recovered, Isaac still has one barrier he’ll never be able to break through -playing contact sports.
In fact, once he found out he couldn’t play football -- his favorite sport -anymore, the situation set in for him back in March. “I was really sad about that actually,” he said. “I remember I was tears actually.” Once he got back home back in March, however, Issac had one goal -- get back on the bike. It wasn’t long before he was ancy to get back pedaling. And it wasn’t long -- not a surprise after you talk the jovial young man -- before he was back on a bike. He said he set a goal of five weeks to get back on the bike, or just as soon as the back brace came off. It didn’t even take him that long to jump back on without hesitation. The only holdup were his limitations -- he wasn’t supposed to pick up anything that weighed more than 10 pounds. That was a problem he faced soon after he got his back brace off April 30 as he stared at the family’s bikes that were hanging up in the garage. “This bike's 30 pounds so I'm staring at it. (I) look around (and say) let's do this. So I pick it up,” he said. “I didn't feel anything. I rode all the way around the lake and I get back and my mom's freaking out. I'm like, 'Hey, I'm here. Perfectly fine. Nothing happened.' (The) way I look at it is I'm walking, I'm here. Why not?” Not only did he get back on the bike, he got right back to riding competi-
tively. He had a strong summer riding in the time trials where he finished second three times and third once. Despite feeling better with more safety equipment on the bike -- he has strobe lights on the front and back of his bike -- his parents still worry about him. “Carl (her husband and Isaac’s father) and I were both very worried,” Gloria said. “(We) still are.” While he still is able to ride his bike and do some of the things he loves, Isaac still couldn’t play football, his first love. Instead of sulking about not being able to play football, though, he returned to a sport he never though he’d come back to. He went Fayetteville cross country coach Jimmy Johnson and asked to be on the team since the one thing he could still do was run. And all he did throughout the season was work hard and get better, something that amazed Johnson. “He’s never complained one bit,” Johnson said. “A coachable kid, very respectable. If you have five kids like that you wouldn’t care if you win or lose.” It may not be football but Isaac is put everything into running and saw the improvement. “The first two weeks I was running 26 minutes or something like that. Then after that I was like this is pathetic,” he said. “That's bad for anybody. So after that I was like lets step it up. (The) next week I got 22 something. Last week I got 22:43. This week my goal is 21 something.” Isaac finished the SHL meet in 22:40, a little off his goal. Still, cutting as much time off is time in such a short time is quite the achievement. “He’s taken a good five minutes off his time,” Johnson said. “To drop five minutes off his time is unbelievable.” Though he competes for the cross country team, Isaac is still a part of the football team he loves. When Rockets football coach Harley McCullough asked him if he still wanted to be involved with the team in some capacity after the accident, Isaac jumped at the chance. He took down statistics at each Rocket game this past season as a team manager and helps out the team’s athletic trainer since he is studying sports medicine at Southern Hills Career and Technical Center. Not playing was tough on Isaac but he was just happy to be around the team. CONTINUED ON PAGE 15

Coming off of a 6-1 season a year ago, the Fayetteville Jr. High football team felt like, with its schedule and the talent they had, they could go undefeated. With a win over West Union on Oct. 11, the Rockets did just that. They win over the Dragons was the cherry on top of a perfect 7-0 season. “We had a good group of kids that were easy to coach,” Fayetteville Jr. High coach Jim Allessi said recently by phone. “Smart kids. They picked everything up quick.” A combination of 21 seventh and eighth graders, the Rockets played a schedule that featured combined seventh and eighth grade teams from Manchester, Miami Valley Christian Academy, Landmark Christian, West Union and St. Bernard. They also played the Blanchester seventh grade team twice. It was a fairly dominant year for Allessi and his Rockets. They scored 178 points in their seven wins while giving up just 22 points. Most of the points they

Trailing by two touchdowns, the Rockets fought back for a 22-16 win. “We were down in the fourth quarter,” he said. “They weren’t bickering. They won as a team. They ran the plays, blocked hard and executed well.” As far as how the Rock-
Second meeting to be held to discuss possibility of Eastern Youth Football The second informational meeting regarding the creation of an Eastern Youth Football program will be held Nov. 13 at 7:00 p.m. at Village Pizza in Sardinia. Though the program’s name may imply a relationship with the Eastern school district, it will not. The program will be entirely independent of the school district and function on its own. This will be the second meeting held by the group -- headed by local resident and former Mason County (KY) High School and Harvard University football player Richie Cox -- to discuss the proposed league. Cox will discuss all the topics he covered in the first meeting on Nov. 1 at the Rambler Center in Russellville but will bring some new discussions to the table. Among the topics Cox will discuss from the first meeting will include objectives for the league, equipment needed for both
the children who will play and for the league itself, the possibility of developing a youth cheerleading program to team with the youth football program, coaches clinics he will host over the winter for those interested in coaching and, most importantly, the funding needed to make this program a reality. He will give the specific costs the group believes will be needed to start the program independently by next summer, which is their hope. In addition to opening the floor to any comments and suggestions from those at the meeting about the league or possible fundraising, Cox hopes to elect an administrative board at the meeting in Sardinia. The board will likely have five or six members and Cox would like to have a president, vice president, treasurer, secretary and one or two trustees elected for the program’s administrative board.

But that wasn’t to take away from his skill guys, who he said were great athletes. The Rockets offense was led by backs Austin Brockman and Chase
Jester as well as quarterback Luke Wiederhold. On the defensive side of the ball, Allessi gave credit to defensive coach Don Wolfer, who ran a system similar to the scheme the high school Rockets ran under defensive coordinator Nathan Geers. “It’s the same mechanics but some differences,” Allessi said of the defense. “We use the termi-

McAfee: Places in Shelton: Doesn’t let final trip to state race devastating accident the race with the top five C P 14 slow him down SBC-National Division advancing to the national ONTINUED FROM AGE
league races and two straight Southwest District Division III races in addition to being a three time state qualifier. “(It) definitely (was) better than I expected it was going to be coming into my freshman year,” McAfee said of his high school career. “I couldn’t have done it without my coach, Chad Sexton, or my parents getting me everywhere.” Now, though, McAfee will likely move on to run in college, something he looks forward to. Before that he will run at least one more cross country race as a high schooler. He is going to compete Nike Midwest Regional Cross Country race this Sunday, Nov. 11, in Terre Haute, IN. Runners from all over the midwest will take part in
meet in Oregon. Just like he did heading into the state meet, McAfee has a specific goal he wants to achieve in Terre Haute. He wants to break the Georgetown school record of 15:51, something he thought he nearly did at the state meet. As he crossed the finish line at National Trail Raceway the clock said 15:51 so McAfee thought he had tied the record but soon found out that the officials had changed the times because they were off. So when he heads to compete in the Nike race he has his sights directed on taking hold of that top spot. “The top five qualify for nationals,” McAfee said of the Nike race. “I don’t think I’ll make it there so it’s just more (to) see if I can get that school record.”
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 14 “They're still my family. That was the thing last year. Every break we'd do, it'd be family on three,” Isaac said of the football team. “To this day they’re all still my family.” The former cornerback has tried to get used to not being able to play the sport he loved but it has been hard. No time was harder, however, than when the Rockets traveled to take on Williamsburg on Sept. 7. He missed the first opportunity to play on the same field as his cousin, who plays for the Wildcats. “(The cousin) looks at me and says, 'You padding up tonight?'’ he explained. “It just hit me. I'm like, 'Oh. No.' It was probably the hardest thing ever. We love that game. It was just us
two on the field.” But just having Isaac around the team has left McCullough, much like Johnson, in awe. “He’s willing to do anything you ask of him,” McCullough said. “He’s got a great attitude towards life. He’s got such a good work ethic. “The kid wasn’t gonna let a devastating injury stop him. Convinced himself he was gonna get back up and do it.” Football, or any contact sport, will never be an option for Isaac again but there seems little else could slow the young man down. “I'm one of those people (where) you tell me I can never do something,” he said with a chuckle, “I'm most likely gonna try,”

SSCC welcomes archaeologist for Nov. event Specializing in American slave sites, archaeologist Matt Reeves, Ph.D., will present “Archaeology at James Madison’s Montpelier: Rediscovering and Restoring the Madison Plantation Landscape” 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 13, in the auditorium on Southern State Community College’s Central Campus, 100 Hobart Drive, Hillsboro. The speaking event is free
and open to the public. “My classes have been working with Dr. Reeves for a number of years now, and I am thrilled that he is finally able to visit Southern State,” said Don Storer, Ph.D., professor of chemistry at SSCC. The Director of Archaeology at James Madison’s Montpelier, Dr. Reeves’ specialty is sites of the African Diaspora—including planta-
tion and freedman period sites—and Civil War sites. He has worked on plantation sites in the Caribbean, Maryland and Virginia. Over the past 12 years at Montpelier in Orange County, Va., Dr. Reeves has excavated two plantation complexes of the Madison family, locating dozens of Civil War encampments, slave quarters, mill sites and work areas. As part of his speaking engagement, Dr. Reeves will also visit with Southern State students in their classrooms. “Students in my chemistry classes are required to complete a final project that introduces them to research and puts the chemistry they have learned into a context that makes the reason for learning it more understandable,” said
Dr. Storer. “Next semester, the students will be involved in analyzing soil samples from Montpelier. They will test the soils and then provide the archaeologists with threedimensional maps of the elements. “The students don’t have to be archaeologists to benefit from this work but, by completing this project, the uniqueness of it will make our students stand out among the other applicants when applying for pre-professional programs or scholarships.” For more information on Dr. Reeves’ Nov. 13 presentation on archaeology, please contact Dr. Storer at 1-800628-7722, ext. 2645, or dstorer@sscc.edu.
