THE BROWN COUNTY

Judge to decide unsealing of Sheriff case Common Pleas Judge Scott Gusweiler will decide whether to unseal a ten year old criminal case involving Brown County Sheriff Dwayne Wenninger. Gusweiler has taken the matter under advisement and will issue a written ruling in the near future. At a hearing on November 14, attorneys from both sides argued their case before Gusweiler.

Felicity resident Joe Podolsky filed a motion before Gusweiler last summer to unseal the 2003 trial record Wenninger. He was charged with knowingly falsifying his qualifications to run for Sheriff in 2002. Wenninger was acquitted on those charges and Judge Robert Ringland, who presided over the case, sealed the record. Attorney Thomas Eagle is now representing Podolsky and The Post and E-mail, a

blog out of Connecticut, who are working to unseal the trial record. Wenninger attorney Gary Rosenhoffer has filed a motion to dismiss the request to unseal the record...and Eagle has filed a response in opposition. Podolsky, claiming to be acting as “Prosecutor” in accordance with Ohio Revised Code, filed the motion in Brown County Common Pleas Court on June 12. Podolsky’s argument is that Wenninger is unqualified

Former Huntington Twp. official charged BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press A former fiscal officer in Huntington Township has been charged with Attempted Having An Unlawful Interest In A Public Contract and Attempted Theft In Office. A probable cause affidavit filed in Brown County Municipal Court accuses Judith Harover of “tak(ing) possession of cash and keep the proceeds of one check payable to the Aberdeen Huntington Life Squad and once check payable to the Huntington

Township Trustees.” The total value of the checks was $1233.76. Harover is also accused of “knowingly attempt(ing) to authorize or employ the authority or influence of her office to secure the investment of public funds in any share bond, mortgage, or other security, with respect to which she, a member of her family, or any of her business associates...had an interest.” The affidavit was filed by Deputy Inspector Barbara Cannon of the State Auditor’s office.

and taxpayers are being defrauded by paying for his salary. He is also arguing that the sealing of the court record by Ringland was improper. Brown County Prosecuting Attorney Jessica Little said that she does not think that Podolsky has legal standing to act as “Prosecutor” in this case. “He has not filed a taxpayer lawsuit. He has filed a motion in a criminal case.” Little said. “To represent the CONTINUED ON PAGE 9

The attempted theft in office charge is a first degree misdemeanor and the influencing charge is a fifth degree felony. The alleged activities happened between April 2 and April 25 of 2012. Harover resigned as Huntington Township Fiscal Officer on March 1, 2013 for “medical reasons effective immediately”, according to a letter received from the Huntington Township Trustees by the Brown County Board of Elections.

BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press Local business owner Michael Hart is suing Brown County Prosecuting Attorney Jessica Little for slander. Hart filed the suit on September 27 and is representing himself. He is claiming that Little slandered him in a conversation on September 28, 2012 in a conversation with Dennis Varnau by stating that Hart had brought a “doctored” recording to his defense in his 2010 criminal trial.

Hart was found guilty in January of 2011 of unlawful restraint of former County Commissioner Ralph Jennings during a conversation in 2010 with Jennings in the United Dairy Farmers parking lot in Georgetown. Hart’s conviction was based on the determination that he refused to step back from the open door of Jennings’ car, preventing Jennings from leaving. Hart recorded the conversation with Jennings and it was presented in court as evidence in his defense. Hart testified to its

accuracy under oath. Jennings testified that Hart used a number of swear words during their conversations. Hart was not heard to curse on the recording he provided in his defense. In his filing, Hart writes “As a direct and proximate result of defendant Little’s actions, Plaintiff has suffered emotional distress, anxiety, embarrassment and damage to his reputation in the community.” Little filed a Motion to Dismiss on October 24. The motion reads in part, CONTINUED ON PAGE 9

All these veterans here really appreciate the attention they’ve been given today. Some of them had tears in their eyes. I’m just glad to be a part of it and see it.” State Representative Doug Green also participated in the program, leading the veterans and crowd with a rousing performance of ‘God Bless the USA’. “It’s such a privilege and an honor to say thank you to the veterans and come to my alma mater, Western Brown and have such an CONTINUED ON PAGE 9

F’ville-Perry High School BY Martha B. Jacob The Brown County Press Members of the Fayetteville Perry High School Student Council invited area veterans to their school Monday, Nov. 11, Veteran’s Day, to pay them homage for their sacrifices to the country. An empty chair sat in front of the podium marked with a cover which read “MIA/POW recognizing Americans who are missing in action or prisoners of war”. At least eight veterans filled the front row of seats facing the crowd, and included: • Adam Dozier, U.S. Army • Dick Carrelli, U. S. Navy • Larry Lockwood, U. S. Marine Corps • Brian Kleemeyer, U. S. Army • Teresa Kleemeyer, U. S. Army • Stephanie McTague, U. S. Army • Paul Burwinkle, U. S. Air Force • Joe Huber, U. S. Air Force, Air Commandoes • George Thompson, U. S. Army The celebration began with a solemn color guard presentation by Joe Huber, commander of ScanlonKelly VFW Post 5920 in Fayetteville and Quartermaster of the post, Paul Burwinkle. Following the presentation, student council president Gabriella Valentine led the high school and middle school students, who filled the gymnasium, and all visitors in the Pledge of Allegiance. Bob Sandlin, a local preacher and custodian for Fayetteville Perry, then led the invocation which was followed by the playing of the National Anthem, performed by the Fayetteville High School Concert Band. One of the guest speakers at the event was Stephanie McTague who spoke briefly about her experiences as a soldier in the army. She talked about how she joined the service right out of high school at the age of 18 without telling her parents and how difficult it was on them all when she was first deployed to Iraq and later to Afghanistan.

“The experience was both exciting and scary,” McTague confided to the students. “I served as Military Police most of the time, and we all had to watch each other’s backs. “I was proud to fight for America and I am grateful to live in this country as we should all be.” Next sophomore Nicole Jones, bravely stood before the crowd and sang “If You’re Reading This” (acappella), which brought a loud round of applause. Student council member Kim Luke also sang a song with no accompaniment which also brought loud applause. Several students were recognized for their participation in a Veterans Day Essay Contest. Placing third was Erika Wells, a junior, second place winner was Kayde Russell,

a freshman and taking home first place was Jared Rumpke, a junior. Each read their essay aloud to the visitors. U. S. Air Force Veteran Huber then asked for the school’s band director Cindy Sinclair to come to the podium, where Huber presented the band with a check for $100 from ScanlonKelly VFW Post. The high school chorus sang ‘We Can Build A Bridge’ which was followed by a power point scrolling screen with pictures of Veterans while accompanied by sophomore student Emerald Smith who sang and played her guitar. An Honor Flight Presentation was also given, followed by a Celebration of Taps played by the band. Mr. Sandlin brought the celebration to an end with the benediction.

Ripley First State Bank to erect 25 foot flag pole, new councilman Otis to take his seat Newly elected Ripley Council member Dave Otis attended his first council meeting, as a spectator, during the Nov. 12 meeting. Otis will take the seat of Scott Eagan who did not run for re-election again. Three other council members retained their seats after running in November; Nowana Bingaman, Roberta Sidwell and Charles Poole. Village Administrator Charles Ashmore reported to council that First State Bank in Ripley has requested permission to erect a 25 foot flag pole in front of its business. “It’s a beautiful bronze pole, the same color as the front of the building,” Ashmore said. “We identified a location that would not impede traffic. There is a little bit of an elevated block area where the flag pole would sit on a sleeve. The

pole would be out of the way, and if there are no objections to it, I’d like a motion by council to authorize me to do that. According to the Ohio Basic Code we can’t allow them to do it without council’s approval.” Councilman Eagan said he liked the idea of a flag at

the spot and felt it would look nice in the village. Ashmore said that the flag pole is of very high quality and the bank has spent a lot of money for it. “This is a totally enclosed pole,” he said, “it has aircraft wiring that is inside the pole, so it’s vandal proof, no one can get to

the wires, it’s really nice.” Council unanimously approved the flag pole and thanked First State Bank for contributing to the community. Council also had the third and final reading of an ordinance to eliminate the fee for coin operated amusement devices in the Village of Ripley. The ordinance was passed. Council approved a contract with the Highland County Justice Center for the housing of prisoners at a cost of $55, the same as last year. Mayor Tom Leonard commented that he didn’t believe the village had ever needed to use the justice center in the past. Council members also had brief discussion about the upcoming Ripley River Village Christmas scheduled for December 13, 14 and 15. The next scheduled Ripley Council meeting is set for Tuesday, Dec. 10.

Sheriff’s office charges suspect with aggravated robbery, kidnapping and abduction

Sheriff Dwayne Wenninger reports that on November 11, 2013 at approximately 9:43 p.m., Deputies were dispatched to a residence on Nixon Road, Mt. Orab on a reported robbery and abduction.

Once inside the residence, the suspect demanded money from the victim, when she refused, he struck her about the face and the back of the head, to where she lost consciousness.

Veterans Salute!!! Thank You

In 1954, when November 11th was officially named Veterans Day, President Dwight D. Eisenhower called upon all citizens to join hands in a common purpose – to “solemnly remember the sacrifices of all those who fought so valiantly on the seas, in the air, and on foreign shores, to preserve our heritage of freedom. ”Our troops have always served our country with dedication. They fought in major conflicts, including World Wars I and II, Korea, Vietnam, the Gulf War, and the Iraq and Afghan Wars. They fought in smaller actions around the world, such as Somalia, Bosnia, and Grenada. They deserve our thanks on Veterans Day and on every day of the year.

The Ohio Senate today passed Senate Bill 200, sponsored by Senator Joe Uecker (R–Miami Township), which modifies Ohio’s election law to create more accurate voter registration rolls. The legislation clarifies the current requirement that the Ohio Secretary of State maintain a statewide voter registration database. The bill also requires other state agencies such as the Ohio Department of Health and the Bureau of Motor Vehicles to begin sharing data with the Secretary so the voter registrations can be cross-checked for accuracy. “Free and fair elections are among those sacred pieces of our government that make America great,” said Uecker. “We have a responsibility to provide the citizens of Ohio with an accurate and efficient elections system and Senate Bill 200 is another step in accomplishing that mission.”

JOE UECKER, STATE SENATOR

If the Secretary of State’s database identifies an inconsistency in a voter’s record through the data provided by other state agencies, the bill instructs the Secretary to direct that inconsistency to a local board of elections to be resolved. The bill does not allow the Secretary of State or the Board of Elections to alter a voter’s registration without their consent simply based on a discrepancy identified by the database. The legislation is supported by both the Ohio Association of Elected Officials and the Ohio League of Women Voters. Senate Bill 200 will now proceed to the Ohio House of Representatives for further consideration.

What are your feelings on stores being open on Thanksgiving?

What Do You Think?

Well, I'll be at home with family, so it doesn't really matter to me. Mary Martin, Mt. Orab

I don't go to stores on Thanksgiving day, I spend it with my family. Kathleen Glover, Williamsburg

I wish they wouldn't be open. Phyllis Hoskins, Bardwell

I have no problem with stores being open at all. Jeff Jablonski, Mt. Orab

Well, I guess it's great for some people but they should be home with their families Valeda Puckett, Williamsburg

When you're younger its okay to work on Thanksgiving, but as an adult I want to spend it with my family. Julie Bryan, Fayetteville

Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor, In my opinion, the best man for the job (potential presidential candidate), Dr. Ben Carson. He is not only brilliant, he is so practical in all of his ideas about how to get our country turned around. He is a retired, pediatric brain surgeon, who was the first surgeon to successfully separate Siamese twins joined at the head. He is a Christian and not afraid to admit it and who truly believes in Christianity. He retired from Johns Hopkins University and hospital never dreaming his life would lead to this excitement about his future endeavours. His remarks about running for the Presidency are that

the Lord will lead him where he is to go. He declares no affiliation with either party. I would vote for him because of who he is! He is an American who wants to get our country back to where it should be in every way. He is smart enough to know that a third party is not good. He has written a book, America the Beautiful, which is very good. There was a movie made about him, ‘Gifted Hands’, with Cuba Gooding Jr. playing Dr. Carson’s part. So. I offer this for your perusal and hoping you will research more about Dr. Ben Carson. Marilyn Daley Sardinia

When the care is needed, The care is here. www.morrisnursinghome.com

The first time the word sin is mentioned in the Bible is in Genesis 4:7. It is the story of Cain and Abel, the first two sons of Adam and Eve. It seems to me that these two brothers were very competitive and when it came time to give an offering unto the LORD, Cain brought of the fruit of the ground and Abel brought of the firstlings of his flock. But there was a problem with that. God was displeased with Cain’s offering because it was not a blood sacrifice. The Bible tells us that without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sin. But Cain wanted to do it his way; he was a tiller of the ground and he apparently thought that his offering should be accepted. Verses 45 tells us: “...And the Lord said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen? If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door...” In other words the LORD was telling Cain that he had every opportunity to give the correct offering: Just get a lamb from your brother and offer it; that will be accepted. If you do not then sin lieth at the door. You are about to fall into the deepest sin you will ever get into in your life. And you know, a lot of people are just about to that same point. They are just about to jump headlong into a great big pit of sin! God was telling Cain not to jump into that pit! But he would not listen; he jumped anyway. That account is the first time the word sin is mentioned in the Bible and also the first time the word door is mentioned. A door is an access. You can get in or out through a door. Cain went through the wrong door! He went in the wrong direction. Go with me to Exodus. I want to talk more about the door. Look at verse 7 in chapter 12: “And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat it.” The blood of the lamb was to be applied to the door posts because that was access to the home. In verse 23 it tells us that when God saw the blood on the posts, the destroyer could not enter in: “...the Lord

DR. CHARLES SMITH

MT. ORAB BIBLE BAPTIST CHURCH WWW.BBMTORAB.COM

will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you.” God is not respector of persons. If you are not saved; if you are not under the blood of Jesus, you will die and go to Hell. The door to Heaven is Jesus. In John 10:9 Jesus said: “I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.” He is our one time sacrifice. He shed His blood for us and offered it as the everlasting sacrifice for sin. Hebrews 10:14: “For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.” I John 1:7 states: “...and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.” His blood will cleanse all your sin, not just part of it, but all of it! However, in order for that to happen, you have to access the one and only door that is offered for that purpose, and that is Jesus. Go back with me to Genesis 6:5: “And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.” That statement could pretty much sum up the world today; don’t you think? We are getting close to that point. Noah was commanded to build the ark. When it was completed, Noah and his family entered into the safety of the ark and God shut the door (Genesis 7:16). It was then eternally to late for those people who refused to enter in. Genesis 6:3 tells us: “...the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man...” And He won’t! Is the door once again getting ready to shut? The invitation to enter is still open today, but one day the door will shut and it will be too late! So why are you hesitating?

Sardinia residents to decide future of old wrought iron fence in front of cemetery Members of the Sardinia Village Council have turned to the residents for input on what to do with the old, rusted, weathered and broken down wrought iron fence in front of the village cemetery. During the Nov. 11 council meeting, Mayor Todd Bumbalough told council that it was time something was done with the fencing but he wanted to hear from residents before any action was taken. “Our cemetery is beautiful,” Bumbalough said. “But the fence that’s in front of it has to go. It’s all bent up, coming apart, bending and is to the point that it needs to come down. I know it’s very sentimental to a lot of people so we looked into having the wrought iron redone, but it would be very costly and more money than the village can afford.” Bumbalough said he felt it would be best to go ahead and take the fencing down, and maybe sell pieces of it to any residents who wanted it and that money would go back into the cemetery fund. He added that eventually a new fence could be built. Council made no decision on the issue with hopes of hearing from Sardinia residents with new and different ideas on what to do with the old fence. In other business at the meeting, village residents Carter and Jill Stolz approached council to ask for a variance on setting a mobile home on Yochum Road on a one-acre plot of land located within the corporation limits. The Stolz’s were recently told by the village in their efforts to set up the mobile home on the property. According to Bumbalough, the village has an ordinance in place that directly addresses mobile homes within the village, which states that no manufactured home can be older than 10 years old when it is set up within the village. The mobile home in question is a 1981 model.

Carter Stolz told council that the mobile home had been completely remodeled and rewired, is in excellent condition and has been approved by the state and the county. He passed out pictures of the inside and outside of the mobile home. Mayor Bumbalough read the village ordinance aloud to full council, the Stolz’s and everyone at the meeting. The ordinance specifically stated that the mobile home cannot be older than 10 years. “This isn’t just our ordinance,” Councilwoman Juanita Watson said, “These are county and state mandates. This home is more than twenty years older than what the ordinance allows. This isn’t an issue of how good a condition this 81 mobile home is, it’s a matter of obeying the ordinance that has been passed by council.” Following a lengthy discussion, council took a vote and the ordinance was upheld by council 4 to 2, with two members abstaining from the vote. The variance was denied. A small group of residents attended the meeting to discuss a newly formed group of residents that call themselves ‘The Sardinia Community Group.’ In the absence of its organizer Shauna Weis, member Marjorie Muller spoke to council. “We would like to get some activities started up in Sardinia,” Muller explained. “We want to plan a ‘Walk for Christmas’ that will travel from the fire department to the American Legion Hall on Sunday, Dec. 15, from 3 to 6 p.m.” Muller continued, “The fire department has already approved it and the Legion are okay with it. We are going to get children to make ornaments that can be hung on the tree, then travel on to the American Legion where we’ll have Christmas music, some bingo for the elderly and a lot of other fun things for people to participate in. Then we’ll have Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus will read to the children.” Muller went on to discuss

plans for taking photos of the children with Santa, a tree lighting, old fashioned games and carolling. “We just had our first meeting last Saturday,” Muller said. “We have combined forces with the Sardinia History Group and we plan on bringing this town back. There’s a lot of growth in this village and we want to keep up with things.” Police Chief Jim Lewis said his department would be willing to assist in the walk through the village. Mayor Bumbalough said he planned on attending the Saturday, Nov. 16 meeting of the new group and hoped anyone else who would like to help with the project would also be at the meeting. For more information on this newly formed group or to become part of it, visit facebook page, My Sardinia. Sardinia Police Chief

may purchase a license for calendar year 2014 from December 1, 2013 through January 31, 2014, without penalty. After January 31, 2014, the fee will be $24.00 per tag (ORC 955.01). You may only purchase 3 year or lifetime tags during December and January. Jill Hall, Brown County Auditor, has added on-line purchasing of dog tags for this year. Jill said,” Many Ohio counties have been selling dog tags on-line for several years. I have had people requesting the option to buy on-line, so I did the research. I spoke with other County Auditors’, and all of them that have on-line tags are pleased with the on-line program. I decided to move forward and add this option to our website.” The dog tag portion of the website will be active as of December 1, 2013. The company running the on-line dog tag purchasing does add a service fee to the tags, so please be aware of the extra fee. By a recommendation of

the Auditor of State, there will be less “satellite” locations to purchase tags than before. As in past years you may still purchase your tags by mail. You may also purchase 1 year tags and only 1 year tags, at the following locations: • Bethel Feed & Supply – Bethel • Brown County Animal Shelter - Georgetown • Crosstown Carryout – Williamsburg • Fayetteville Hardware & Supply- Fayetteville • Village of Mt. Orab – Mt. Orab • Wright’s Country Store – Mt. Orab (Remember that if you purchase a tag at one of the “satellite locations” you will pay $12.75 per tag.) The Auditor’s Office will sell the 1 year tags along with the new 3 year and Lifetime tags. If you do not receive a renewal application and would like one mailed to you, please call the office of the Brown County Auditor, Jill Hall at (937) 378-6398.

The Southwest Regional Medical Center Auxiliary is planning a bake sale and silent auction which will take place on Tuesday, November 26 in the main hallway of the hospital. Each year there are a large supply of cakes, pies, cookies and other sweet goods that are just the thing to serve for holiday dessert. Please plan to stop by and pick up something tasty for your holiday table. The Mary Crawford Gift Shop has been stocked full of

Christmas items, pecans and other bagged goodies as well as jewelry and gift items for sale. Some of the bagged nut items have already ran out, but there are still a good supply of pecans. Be sure to get your share before they are all gone. The Auxiliary would like to thank the public for the support that has been given in the past to our fund raisers and memberships. Everything you do is very greatly appreciated!

Sardinia Village Council plans on removing this old wrought iron fence in front of the village cemetery but is questioning what to do with it. They’ve asked for input from the community.

Martha B. Jacob/THE BROWN COUNTY PRESS

A new group of concerned citizens has recently formed in the Village of Sardinia called ‘The Sardinia Community Group’ which hopes to bring back community oriented projects. Standing is spokesperson for the group, Marjorie Muller.

BC Auditor Hall releases new information for Ohio dog tags Jill Hall, Brown County Auditor, wants you to know that Ohio laws for licensing your dog have changed. As of the 2014 licensing year you have three options for purchasing a dog license; 1 year, 3 years, or Lifetime. You may begin purchasing your tags for 2014 as of December 1, 2013. The Brown County Commissioners have set the fees for 1 year tags to be $12.00, the same as last year. The fee for 3 year tags will be $36.00 and Lifetime tags will be $120.00. The Lifetime tag will be good through the life of that dog. The three year and Lifetime tags will only be sold on-line at www.browncountyauditor.org or at the Brown County Auditor’s Office in the Administration Building, 800 Mt. Orab Pike, Georgetown. If you had a dog tag in 2013, the renewal forms will be in the mail to you soon. The Ohio Legislature has also changed kennel licensing. No longer can you have a kennel license for hunting dogs. Kennel licenses are issued only for those who breed for sale, those who keep “show” dogs, and those who have filed with the Ohio Department of Agriculture and have been approved by them as a “dog rescue”. Jill says, “If you have a kennel labeled as a rescue and have not filed with the ODA, the forms are available on-line at the ODA or you may call my office and we will be happy to send you one. You must be approved by them prior to purchasing new kennel tags.” Kennel tags in Brown County will be $80.00 + $1.00 per license over 5. State Law requires all dogs in Ohio to be licensed (ORC 955.01). By law you

Lewis spoke briefly about the upcoming “Shop With A Cop” program in the village. “Once again we’ve teamed with Mt. Orab, the sheriffs department, Lake Waynoka and Russellville,” Chief Lewis said. “Last year we raised enough money to provide gifts for two families, this year we have three families to buy for. We need to raise about $1,000 more to pay for everything. But this village has already been so generous. I think this is going to be a great year for Shop With A Cop.” The next Sardinia Village Council meeting is scheduled for Dec. 9.

Volunteers help complete cemetery project

BY KRISTIN ROVER

Sun staff

More than 100 volunteers from Home Depot got up early, and got their hands dirty Nov. 7 installing a brick walkway at Odd Fellows Cemetery. The walkway will lead to a veterans memorial in the cemetery, and it is phase two of an improvement project, according to Mayor Todd Hart. Home Depot volunteers completed phase one of the project, which included straightening headstones and cleaning up the cemetery, in April. “Today they are doing a cobble stone walkway and pad for the gun,” Mayor Hart said about the project. Hart said there are around 11,000 stones that need to

be put in place to complete the walkway. Volunteers from Home Depot locations across Greater-Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky arrived at the cemetery at 8 a.m. Nov. 7 to begin the project and worked most of the day. Ray Stultz, department supervisor for Home Depot, said they expected about 120 volunteers throughout the day. He said the company enjoys giving back to the community. “We are just trying to help the community in whatever way we can,” Stultz said. Stultz said the company has also completed volunteer projects in Moscow. He said they also like to see projects through to their completion.

“It's not just a one time deal for us,” Stultz said. Employees with Home Depot said participating in volunteer activities is rewarding. “Being a veteran and making a memorial for veterans feels good,” Jon Jones, of Cincinnati, said. Hart said the entire project began with a phone call from Home Depot officials wanting to get involved in the community. From there, the company loaned equipment and employees donated their time to help with the project and Stultz said they aren't stopping with phase two. “It's awesome to have this many people who care this much about the community and the veterans,” Hart said.

Paolucci said Select Strategies has been working on the shopping center, including bringing Kroger to the area, for eight years. “It means a lot to us,” Paolucci said about watching the shopping center come to life. Paolucci said they wanted to bring a shopping center to the area because they saw a hole in the market in Amelia and also knew the specific location in Amelia

was a busy area. “Amelia Olive-Branch Road dead ends into the property,” Paolucci said. “It is the busiest intersection not connecting to a highway.” Paolucci said Kroger purchased property from Select Strategies to build the marketplace that opened in August. Paolucci said Kroger Marketplace is only the beginning of the shopping center, which will include multiple buildings that will be filled with tenants. He said Petco, Hibbett Sports, Verizon Wireless, GNC, Wendy’s, and El Jinete, a Mexican restaurant, will be under construction soon. He said they are also working to secure tenants for the next phase of the shopping center.

Wildcats’ players walk away from playoff loss as a better program BY CHRIS CHANEY Sun staff

As a throng of blue-andwhite clad Williamsburg fans moseyed out of Ken Osborne Field on Nov. 8 following a 27-20 defeat at the hands of West LibertySalem in the first round of the Division IV, Region 22 playoffs, the feelings of momentary disappointment were overcome by the realization that they wouldn’t have to wait another 33 years to see another home playoff game. Head coach Scott Lefker’s Southern Buckeye Conference National Division championship squad had officially changed the culture of Wildcats football. Gone are the days of .500 records and 10-week seasons. Williamsburg has turned the corner and because of that, Lefker and his team now need to elevate their preseason goals. “(This playoff appearance) has given us a taste of how good we really can be,” Lefker said. “Obviously, the goal was to win the game, but going forward it’s going to cause us to change our goals a little bit. “We set three goals at the beginning of the year: one is

to win the league, the other is to get into the state playoffs and the third goal — which is usually our first goal — is to beat Batavia every year. Those are in writing and we hand them out to our team, but now that we’ve accomplished those three goals, we need to add to it. These kids aren’t going to be satisfied with getting to the state playoffs; they want to win in the state playoffs.” The 2013 edition of the Wildcats were the standard bearers for this new way of thinking. Behind strong senior leadership, Williamsburg went 7-3 in the regular season after starting the year 0-2. Seven wins and a conference title later, the Wildcats earned just the fourth playoff appearance in school history — the first since 2001 and first home game since 1980. Lefker gave a lot of the credit to this season’s success to his senior class, led by the Player of the Year in the National Division, Lane Edmisten and buffeted by fellow All-Star selections Jordan Wright, Cody Minnie, Nick Felts and Isaiah Bradford. “Our leadership has been great,” Lefker said. “This has been one of the best senior classes that I have coached. Out of the 11 seniors that I have, eight of them have been in the program all four years. They’ve been through the ups and downs. This was their chance to win a league championship and make it to the playoffs. “Lane had a great year passing. He makes good decision and he takes it upon himself when he has to to

do whatever it takes. Jordan Wright was our rock on defense in the middle. He plays his heart out. “These kids have had a great four years at Williamsburg.” The leadership and change in culture was on full display in the final quarter of the Wildcats’ season. Trailing WL-Salem 276 to begin the fourth quarter, Williamsburg clawed their way back into the game scoring 14 points in less than 20 seconds to make the game a one-possession contest with 6:52 remaining. Edmisten hooked up with junior Austin Horn for a 29yard touchdown pass to cut the lead to 27-12. On the ensuing West LibertySalem drive, Horn jumped an out route and took the interception 37 yards to the house to cut it to 27-18. A Mason Hall two-point conversion cut the Tigers’ lead to seven with plenty of time on the clock. “Our team never feels like they’re out of the game,” Lefker said. “We’ve made surges and came back earlier this season. They wanted to win and they knew how important it was and they weren’t going to quit. “They didn’t want to leave on a sour note and they didn’t. They made us all proud.” Salem was able to settle in on what would become the last possession of the game, milking the clock through timely first-downs and as the beneficiaries of a few Williamsburg penalties that would prolong their drive.

state of Ohio in a criminal case, you need to be a Prosecutor or Special Prosecutor, and he is neither one of those.” Little said that a taxpayer lawsuit would proceed as a civil case. She has asked Gusweiler to appoint Special Prosecutor is Kenneth Porter from Wheelersburg, Ohio to represent the State as the Podolsky matter moves forward. Following the hearing, Eagle said, “We thing the judge has to examine

whether or not the original sealing order was done properly. If it was not, we think he has to grant Mr. Podolsky’s motion and open the record. If it was done properly, we think he has to do the same analysis now based upon the current facts and circumstances. If the balancing test isn’t in favor of the private interest, then or now, he should grant the motion and the record should be public.” The “balancing test” that Eagle is referring to is the legal concept of

whether the right of an individual to privacy in a legal matter outweigh the right of the public to view the records of a court proceeding. Rosenhoffer said in response that Judge Ringland did employ the balancing test before sealing the record in 2003. Rosenhoffer was Wenninger’s attorney in the case. “That entry is part of this courts record and law of the case. The judge just needs to simply review it and away goes that argu-

ment.” Ohio Revised Code states that sealed records “shall not be available to any person”, except for the person who is the subject of the record or someone they name in an application to unseal it, a law enforcement officer involved in the case to defend themselves in a civil case or a prosecuting attorney to determine a defendant's eligibility to enter a pre-trial diversion program. Gusweiler denied a motion by Dennis Varnau to unseal the record on simi-

lar grounds in 2009. “Mr. Podolsky is in no different position than Mr. Varnau was”, Rosenhoffer said. The Ohio 12th District Court of Appeals and Ohio Supreme Court have ruled on the Varnau case in favor of Wenninger. Podolsky asked Little in April of this year to file a taxpayer lawsuit to recover the money paid to Wenninger, but she refused to do so. In a response to Podolsky, Little said that there is no legal basis to challenge Wenninger’s current term of office by alleging he was not qualified to serve in 2000 or 2004. Little wrote in her letter to Podolsky that “Under Ohio law, one who assumes public office, even if he is held later to be ineligible to hold office, or if

his appointment is later held invalid is a de facto officer...Sheriff Wenninger’s salary was paid to him in good faith, under color of law for services actually rendered. Accordingly, there is no legal basis to recover any public funds paid to Sheriff Wenninger, for his present salary or for expired terms. Eagle argues in the memorandum opposing dismissal of the motion that ORC allows a taxpayer requesting that a taxpayer lawsuit can file “any suit or institute any such proceedings to do so.” Podolsky said in the June 21 edition in the Brown County Press that if his motion is denied by Gusweiler, he will appeal the ruling directly to the Ohio Supreme Court.

Western Brown Principal Heather Cooper said she was moved by the effort the students put into the tribute. “The amount of respect that the kids give and the amount of work that they put into it for the veterans and all the guests is very impressive and heartwarming and I’m very proud of

all of them”, Cooper said. Veteran Rick Rhoades said after the program that he and the other veterans were very appreciative of the efforts of the kids. “It made me feel very warm and good inside and I know that the guys I was sitting with felt the same way.”

“Without identifying the substance of an alleged slanderous statement, Plaintiff concludes Prosecutors “actions” constitute slander...Plaintiff’s slander claim fails as the complaint is devoid of sufficient facts to establish an alleged slanderous statement.” Hart filed a response on

The Sardinia Church of Christ is being transformed into a drop-off center for Operation Christmas Child, the world’s largest Christmas project of its kind according to Maggi Horst, media relations with OCC. “With the holiday supplies already covering the store shelves,” she said. “Brown County individuals, families, churches and groups are working to make Christmas a reality for needy kids around the world by filling shoe boxes with toys, school supplies, hygiene items and notes of encouragement. Operation Christmas Child, is ramping up as county residents prepare to collect gift-filled shoe boxes during National Collection Week, Nov. 1825.” At the collection site in Sardinia, local volunteers are on hand to receive the gift-filled shoe boxes. Ed and Helen Hiestand, of Hillsboro, are the area coordinators for the South Central Ohio Area. “The Sardinia Church of Christ on Bachman Road is this years collection site,” Helen Hiestand said. “Though these shoe box gifts will often travel thousands of miles, Operation Christmas Child offers a way for participants to follow their box by using the donation form found as www.samaritanspurse.org. Donors will receive an email telling the country where their shoe boxes are delivered.” According to Hiestand, the OCC has collected and delivered more than 100 million shoe box gifts to suffering children in more than 100 countries since 1993. Celebrating its 20th an-

BY Faye Mahaffey Master Gardner Volunteer

One of my favorite gardening quotes is “If you believe in the future, plant a tree!” Some of our older trees have fallen victim to high winds the past few years and are warming our house this winter. We have tried to start a restoration program, but have quickly learned that deer and rabbits love new seedlings too. This past week we planted my husband’s retirement gift – a Baldcypress tree! I took a few photos before the critter “protection” was installed. We chose a perfect spot for the tree, with one exception. This spot is also beside the “deer trail” that has probably been existence for centuries. Before we left this lovely specimen for its first night at the Mahaffey’s we had to protect it from the curious deer. We surrounded our gift with wood planked snow fence. What do you know about Baldcypress trees? Called “Bald” since it’s a deciduous conifer, losing its leaves (needles) in fall and growing new ones in spring, it can grow to a height of 80 to 100 feet. It produces a large flaring or fluted base, which helps stabilize it when growing in soft, wet soils. Baldcypress produce large aboveground or water growths called knees. A long-lived tree, some are more than 1,000 years old and are among the oldest living things in North America. Baldcypress, sometimes called the Sequoia of the Midwest, are related to Dawn Redwood and Giant Redwood. Baldcypress’ cones are round balls that release their seeds in autumn and winter and are important food for wildlife such as ducks and deer. As I was doing research for this article I found

some interesting information on Ohio Division of Natural Resources website (ohiodnr.com). The Division of Forestry’s Ohio Big Trees Program is a voluntary endeavor to locate, measure, record, and appreciate the largest tree species in our state. There are lists of Big Tree Champions, applications to nominate a potential tree champion, and even information on how to measure a score a tree. Where is the biggest Baldcypress tree? This tree champion resides at the Spring Grove Cemetery in Hamilton County. Its impressive measurements are: Trunk Circumference – 212 feet, and Vertical Height – 113 feet. OSUE Bulletin #700, Ohio Trees, explains that Baldcypress have been planted in Ohio as an ornamental tree and to a limited degree for timber purposes. The decay-and insect-resistant wood has been used

to build boats and bridges. I have my “bucket list” of trees that I would love to plant on our property and now I can check Baldcypress of the list! Mark your calendars for the November 21st gardening seminar at the Fincastle campus of Southern State Community College. This seminar will focus on choosing house plants and containers to fit your environment, general care and common problems. All seminars are free and open to the public and are held in the library from 6:00 p.m. until 7:30 p.m. Don’t forget to email your gardening questions to Brown County Master Gardener Volunteer, Mike Hannah, at mhannah2@msn.com. The hedge apples have been tossed into the tree line, the honeysuckle along the driveway has been cut down and the stumps treated, three more things checked off the “to do list”!

Caregiver Month observed in Nov.

National Family Caregiver Month is observed every November around the world to draw attention to the many challenges facing family caregivers, to advocate for public policy to address family caregiver issues, and to raise awareness about the community programs that support family caregivers. The first presidential proclamation to promote the celebration of family caregivers began in 1997, and every year since then, a proclamation has been issued to express appreciation for caregivers. Family caregivers provide $450 billion worth of unpaid care each year. Family caregivers are the backbone of the nation’s long-term care system. There are as many as 90 million family caregivers in the United States today. Information released from the National Family Caregiver Association relays that two out of five adults are family caregivers caring for older adults, grandchildren, family members,

neighbors, and friends. Men are now almost as likely to say they are family caregivers as women and 36 percent of younger Americans between the ages of 18 and 29 are family caregivers as well, including one million young people who care for loved ones with Alzheimer’s disease. As many as one million Americans are caring in their homes for military service members who are suffering from traumatic brain injury, post-traumatic stress disorder, or other wounds and illnesses. With the ranks of family caregivers growing every year, we recognize the importance to the nation of the role that family caregivers play. We believe it is important for places of business

to recognize that employees are often providing care for loved ones and may need assistance. As a community member, you can take action by delivering dinner to a caregiving family once a week, offering to provide the caregiver a short break, or providing transportation. The Family Caregiver Support Program at the Area Agency on Aging District 7 (AAA7) can offer advice and check on options that may be in your community depending on availability, eligibility and other factors. As more and more individuals are being cared for at home by loved ones and friends, there is an even greater need to have as much caregiving support options and services available as possible. We will continue to advocate for caregivers and advocate for the continuation and growth of support services and programs to best benefit their needs. To learn more, please call us at 1800-582-7277.

With the first snow fall now behind us, and the bulk of the harvest completed, it is time to start discussing winter meetings. For you baseball fans, winter meetings may make you think differently. The Reds have a new manager and the hope that a few minor changes, or one big one, can put the Reds over the hump in 2014. Back to the winter meetings that I intended to talk about when I started writing. I have several meetings/dates in the works, but at this point just wanted to bring it to your attention that I will be announcing these dates in the next week or two so make sure you have a 2014 calendar to post things on. This is what I can tell you at this point. If your private applicator license will expire for using pesticides on March 31, 2014 you will need to re-certify this year. The re-certification classes will be the last 2 weeks of January, 2014. I will offer two classes in January with one being in the evening and the other will be during the day. You MUST pre-register for these classes. There is limited space for both classes, so if one class works better than the other date, please register early. The location will be the Southern State Community College South Campus, in the Appalachian Gateway Center, in Fincastle. The first date will be on Wednesday, January 22, 2014 beginning at 5:30 p.m. The second date will be on Monday, January 27, 2014 beginning at noon. In both cases there will be a light meal as part of the program. If you have special dietary needs, please let us know when you preregister. There is a charge for the class. This is not the fee for the license. Please send your payment for the class in at least 5 business days prior to the class. Having all fees paid prior to the class will help get the training started on time. If you start on time there is a much better chance of ending on time.

DAVID DUGAN OSU EXTENSION SERVING ADAMS, BROWN AND HIGHLAND CO.

The fee for the license is sent to the Ohio Department of Agriculture. You should receive 2 letters from ODA this year if your license is in need of re-certification. The first letter will announce all recertification classes offered in Ohio including dates, times, and locations. If the local dates do not work into your schedule, you may want to look at other locations in surrounding counties. The second letter will be about the license renewal fee that is to be mailed to ODA by the end of March. You must obtain the needed credits and pay the fees to get re-certified. Other dates that are in the works include the Beef School, the Sheep and Goat School and the New and Small Farm College. I will have more on these in the coming weeks. I can tell you that the Sheep and Goat School will be on the Mondays in February. Some surrounding counties have discussed being a host for this program. The Beef School will be offered locally again this year. The dates are January 28, February 18 and March 11, 2014, I do not have the location firmed up just yet, but the classes will begin at 7 p.m. More information about the New and Small Farm College is below. New and Small Farm College A common call to the OSU County Extension Offices deals with something like this, “I just bought 15 acres and I am not sure what I want to do with it”, or “I have inherited my family farm and even though I grew up on the farm, I have been away for several years. Where do I start?” If you can relate to these 2 examples, or something in that ballpark, we have just the class for you starting in January, 2014. This

class is now nearly 10 years old. We have been offering this class at various spots throughout Southern Ohio for several years. It moves around from year to year. This year the class will be offered in a couple locations. One of the locations will be in the Lebanon area in Warren County. The other location is not yet firm, but hopefully will be soon. The plan was for one to be east of the Adams/Brown/Highland Counties area. I will have more information in the coming weeks. How Much Hay Will a Cow Consume? As we near the time to start feeding hay, or in some cases we may have already fed some, this information from Glenn Selk, Oklahoma State University Emeritus Extension Animal Scientist seems to be right on time as we estimate how much hay may be needed. The one thing that you may want to consider is the cow’s energy needs can be altered by the weather. Cold windy conditions will increase the need, but so will wet conditions. The wet conditions can be muddy areas, but also cold rain that wets the animal’s hair, especially when windy, greatly increases the animal’s nutritional needs. This is when a high energy feed may be used as a supplement. With corn prices down from the past few years, whole shelled corn may be a good source for increasing energy requirements. Estimating forage usage by cows is an important part of the task of calculating winter feed needs. Hay or standing forage intake must be estimated in order to make the calculations. Forage quality will be a determining factor in the amount of forage consumed. Higher quality forages contain larger concentrations of important nutrients so animals consuming these forages should be more likely to meet their nutrient needs from the forages. Also cows can consume a larger quantity of higher

Comment period open for Brown-353 Bridge Project

As part of the Ohio Department of Transportation – District 9’s Planning & Engineering Department, the district’s Environmental Office is seeking public input on the following proposed project in Brown County. Brown County – BRO353-0.65 (PID: 75466) – The proposed project is to replace the existing continuous steel beam structure on state Route 353 with a precast concrete box culvert. Situated at the 0.65-mile marker, east of U.S. Route 62 at Redoak, the bridge is located in Jefferson Township in Brown County. As the project will be conducted within the existing ODOT right of way, no new right of way will be needed, and no homes, businesses or structures will be removed as a result of the project.

OAG DeWine pays surprise visit to CTC Criminal Justice

Provided/THE BROWN COUNTY PRESS

Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine recently arranged a meeting at Southern Hills Career and Technical Center to address senior law enforcement officers in the area. Afterward Mr. DeWine graciously agreed to take a few minutes from his busy schedule and visit the school’s Criminal Justice students and instructor Randy Carson. He spoke to the students about local government as well as the Bureau of Criminal Investigation and Identification. He also told them that his agency has Patrol Car and Weapons simulators that can be used by local police departments. Mr. Dewine invited the students to tour BCI&I.

quality forages. Higher quality forages are fermented more rapidly in the rumen leaving a void that the animal can re-fill with additional forage. Consequently, forage intake increases. For example, low quality forages (below about 6% crude protein) will be consumed at about 1.5% of body weight (on a dry matter basis) per day. Higher quality grass hays (above 8% crude protein) may be consumed at about 2.0% of body weight. Excellent forages, such as good alfalfa, silages, or green pasture may be consumed at the rate of 2.5% dry matter of body weight per day. The combination of increased nutrient content AND increased forage intake makes high quality forage very valuable to the animal and the producer. With these intake estimates, now producers can calculate the estimated amounts of hay that need to be available. Using an example of 1200 pound pregnant spring-calving cows, lets assume that the grass hay quality is good and tested 8% crude protein. Cows will voluntarily consume 2.0% of body weight or 24 pounds per day. The 24 pounds is based on 100% dry matter. Grass hays will often be 7 to 10% moisture. If we assume that the hay is 92% dry matter or 8% moisture, then the cows will consume about 26 pounds per day on an “as-fed basis”. Unfortunately we also have to consider hay wastage when feeding big round bales. Hay wastage is difficult to estimate, but generally has been found to be from 6% to 20% (or more). For this example, lets assume 15% hay wastage. This means that

approximately 30 pounds of grass hay must be hauled to the pasture for each cow each day that hay is expected to be the primary ingredient in the diet.

Cold Weather Consideration for Pets and Wildlife

Winter can be a very strenuous time for dogs and cats, especially those that live outdoors. There are a number of things you can do to help your pets avoid health problems during the cold months of the year. 1. Outdoor dogs and cats need a dry, insulated pet house or shelter away from wind and rain. Keeping warm demands extra calories, so feed more when the temperature drops. 2. Water is another obvious, absolute necessity. While temperatures remain below freezing, it is imperative that your pet have access to clean water several times a day. 3. Cats often nap in warm car engines. Knock on the hood or honk the horn, then wait a few minutes before starting the car. 4. Pets like the taste of antifreeze, but small amounts can kill them. When draining antifreeze, place it in a tightly closed container and store it out of reach. De-icer and other chemicals can be very dangerous to petsalways read label warnings. 5. Frostbite can occur on ears, paws, and tails. The skin will first turn red, then white or gray. Contact your veterinarian immediately if you suspect your pet has frostbite. If you have a dog or cat who normally lives outside, please do consider giving it straw or bedding, and be sure that it has adequate shelter. If you have the space available, it might be time to let it spend the night in a warm, dry garage protected from the harsh temperatures. In addition to caring for our domestic pets, winter is also a time of food crisis for all warm-blooded wildlife. All of the winter birds and mammals of our region face the necessity

of finding enough food each day to keep themselves alive and warm until the next day. Their diet may vary from day to day and place to place, depending on what can be found. Many will not find enough food to survive. Weed seeds, wild berries and acorns are the natural food for the majority of our winter birds. Others search the trees and thickets for dormant insects, their eggs and larvae. Water fowl like geese, ducks, and herons are especially vunerable. Frozen ponds cut off their supply of food, and also their safety. Being on the

water provides them a refuge from predators. Cold temperatures take a toll on animals that lack thick insulation, such as opossums who have furless feet. In general, winter is a cruel time for all of our wildlife. At All Creatures Animal Hospital, we encourage people to put up bird and or squirrel feeders and keep them clean and full. Providing shelter for wildlife in the form of trees and shrubs is also recommended. Some people put out dog or cat food for the local raccoons and possums, then are surprised to find that Blue Jays also like it. The animals that are helped stand a greater chance of surviving the winter. Lets all do what we can to help all outdoor creatures who are weathering these tough winter months.

Christmas Home Tour in G’town

The annual Georgetown Christmas Home Tour, sponsored by the U.S. Grant Homestead Association, will be held on Sunday, December 8, 2013 from 12 to 5 p.m. The tour begins at the Georgetown United Methodist Church (State Street entrance) where you can buy tickets and pick up a tour packet. Tickets are $10 and those who buy before December 8 will be entered in the drawing for a special John Ruthven-Thompson House Basket with a retail value of over $125. Tickets are available at Donohoo’s Drugstore on the west side of the courthouse square or by phone at (937) 3783087. You do not have to be present to win. Included on the tour is the newly restored U.S. Grant Homestead, the Bailey House, the first school attended by U.S. Grant (now owned by Liz Doss) and the classic 1914 Sears kit-home owned by Brandon and Crystal Winterrod. Another feature of the tour will be the Ammen home, a colonial designed by Hubbard Baker and built in 1826 by Col. David Ammen. This home, on the courthouse square, includes many Greek Revival features. Col. Ammen, a veteran of the War of 1812, moved

to Ohio from Virginia to get away from the institution of slavery. He published The Castigator in Georgetown from 1826 to 1837 and was a good friend of Jesse Grant. His son Jacob was a graduate of West Point and a brigadier general during the Civil War. His younger son, Daniel, graduated from the naval academy, became a rear admiral, and was a lifelong friend of U.S. Grant. The Ammen home was eventually purchased by John Biehn, a local lawyer who held several political offices and was elected Probate Judge in 1875. Judge Biehn bought the Devore home on the northwest corner of the Public

Square, added a third floor, and opened the Biehn Hotel, which burned in 1926. Judge Biehn’s grandson, Common Pleas Judge John Houston, was born in the home in 1896 and lived there until his death in 1983. His widow, Mary Irene, continued to live there until her death in 2004. The property was subsequently purchased at auction by Mike Fadely. Mike is guidance counselor at the Georgetown Exempted Village Schools. You’re invited to see the extensive interior restoration work Mike has completed, the beautiful walled garden area, and his extensive collection of farm sets and other toys.

Everyone will enjoy singing Christmas songs next to the beautiful Christmas tree decorated by the RULH Elementary School students.

With the help of two grants, members of the Aberdeen Concerned Citizens plan to replace the basketball rims at the village park.

BY Martha B. Jacob The Brown County Press The Aberdeen Concerned Citizens group is continuing its efforts to clean up and completely renovate the village park. According President Sherry Stafford, those efforts are fast becoming a reality. “We were just recently notified that the ACC would be awarded a grant from the Hayswood Foundation out of Maysville, Kentucky,” Stafford said. “We were a little concerned at first because this is a matching grant. That means the ACC would have to match the $4,000 grant before we could receive it.” Stafford then explained that DP&L has also given the ACC an $11,000 grant which will be used to replace and upgrade the playground equipment at the park. “I am especially pleased because I just found out this morning from a representatives from Hayswood that our matching funds grant for $4,000, is covered by the grant from DP&L,” Stafford said. “They have agreed to allow the DP&L Grant to be those matching

funds, so now we have $19,000 in grant funds which will get a lot of work done at the park.” She continued, “This is a great beginning. Our goal for the whole park makeover is $110,000. That would be used to make major repairs to the bathrooms. We’re getting a lot of boaters at the park now, and families having picnics and reunions. It’s becoming a very popular place for families to spend time.” Stafford said some of the ACC’s funds will be used for the bathrooms at the park. She said they have at least one estimate for $3,500 to repaint the bathrooms, paint the floors, place commercial hand dryers and place a secure exterior door at the entrance that can be locked. “If possible we may also replace the toilets,” Stafford said. “Some of the other things that we would like to do include building at least two ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) approved picnic tables at the park. Eventually we would like to see the entire park be ADA accessible for this community. We also want to replace the water fountain and make it ADA

accessible, as well as get some new basketball goals.” Stafford said that the Adams-Brown Creating Heathy Communities organization have placed a sign next to the swing set, which reads ‘We (picture of a heart) our children, please drive carefully.’ “We really appreciate that sign because the swings set too close to the parking lot and the road where a lot of traffic goes through,” Stafford said. “They also gave us some signs that read ‘Think of our Children, No Smoking’ signs.” She said the park will also be getting a new pet station which will be placed on the ‘Safe Route to School bike path thanks to the Adams-Brown Creating Healthy Communities. She said that next year the group plans on supplying the park with a new regular park grill as well as an ADA grill. Other plans for the park include placing a bike rack at the park, another pet station and plans to paint distance markers on the Safe Route to School pathway, for walkers and runners. Stafford said that the group was given 10 large trash bins for the park from Rumpke, which were greatly appreciated. Stafford said that a national playground safety inspector told the village that the playground equipment currently being used at the park did not meet safety standards and had to be either replaced or corrected. She said hopefully the group will be able to make some adjustments and make the equipment safe. However, the swing set has to be moved farther away from the parking lot to meet the standards. She said that ‘Jack Pots’ in Aberdeen donated $1,900 for the purchase of a new 27 foot, 4-row set of bleachers for the softball field. The ACC hopes to take the old unsafe bleachers and make them smaller to be used behind the pavilion at the park, if it’s possible. Stafford said to date the ACC has also raised $13,500 toward the purchase of new Christmas decorations for the village. “We would like to encourage everyone who lives in Aberdeen who would like to take part in renovating our village park to give me a call at (606) 375-5315.” Stafford said.

Bronco season ends at regional playoffs BY Brandon Barb The Brown County Press

After a 76-40 loss to Thurgood Marshall on Nov. 7, the Western Brown Broncos’ year came to a close. It was a bittersweet end for the Broncos, seeing how they went undefeated in the regular season for only the third time in school history and also hosting the first home playoff game in school history. “I’m proud of how hard they worked and how they improved each week. It wasn’t the final ending we all dream of but the biggest thing is they laid the foundation of how hard they have to work for the future,” Western Brown Head Coach Evan Dreyer said. The game itself was full of offensive flourishes. The Thurgood Cougars kept the Broncos defense guessing with their option runs, and Western aired it out like they have all year. Western Brown senior quarterback Devyn Wood completed 43 of his 64 passes for 511 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. He also ran for three touchdowns. In the early minutes, the Broncos came out hot and scored the first touchdown -- much to the delight of the packed home section -- making it 6-0 after a blocked extra point, but the Cougars’ speed was overwhelming at times. Thurgood scored three touchdowns

before the Broncos were able to get in the end zone again, putting the score to 22-14 -- the Cougars were successful at a two point conversion. That was the pattern for the game. Western Brown would score once, and Thurgood would answer with two or three touchdowns of their own. At one point, the Broncos had momentum behind them and cut the score down to 43-25 but the Cougars were able to pull away. Every time the Broncos started to comeback and have spurts of offense the wind was taken out of their sails by the fast paced Cougar running game. “You can’t really simulate the speed [Thurgood has]. All week we tried to but offensively we couldn’t match that in practice. We knew that was going to be the challenge. As a program we hadn’t seen real speed all year, and that was real speed from Thurgood,” Dreyer said. He continued, “Defensively its hard to prepare for a team like that. Throughout our first 10 games we hadn’t seen an offense like that. We did get two stops though, and yeah they put up 76, but we just hadn’t faced that talent throughout the year. The kids got a good sign of what level you have to be at to be a playoff caliber team.” It wasn’t a lack of offense from Western

Brown though. The Broncos were still able to put up yards similar to those during the regular season. In total, the Broncos had 594 yards of offense. Which was close to their 521 yards per game average. Western Brown sophomore Eean Hornung caught 13 passes for 165 yards. Senior Jarred haggerty had 10 receptions, 137 yards and one touchdown. And junior Chaz Patten gained 70 yards and one touchdown. “It was back and forth. We were going score for score and we thought that’s the way the game would go. Going into halftime 43-25 we still had a chance, they [Thurgood] just played really well on offense,” Dreyer said. “Our kids took the challenge and to score 40 points on a team that didn’t allow any points in the last three weeks means a lot. Our kids played with great effort for 48 minutes we just had a lot of missed opportunities.” The Broncos were stopped on a crucial fourth down play early on, and then were stopped on the goal line after driving on the Cougars. Dreyer had a plan of converting onside kicks after the Broncos scored but they were only able to recover one. According to Dreyer, the Cougars have a knack for returning kickoffs for touchdowns so he wanted to take that threat away. “Some people said it should have been 75-56, and I think that is true,” Dreyer said. “The game was closer than what the

score shows. That’s a cliche, but we had opportunities to do it we just missed some of them.” Injuries were a problem for the Broncos throughout the game. Junior linebacker Josh Young was taken out before halftime with a knee injury, senior David Ellis suffered a concussion late in the game, Patten was sidelined with a back injury, senior Derrick McIntosh played through the second half with a hurt ankle -- limping on and off the field --, and towards the end of the game Wood re-injured his throwing shoulder -which was hurt during the win over Amelia on Oct. 18 but he stayed in despite being in noticeable pain. “The physicality and speed they [Thurgood] played at was a playoff caliber team. We weren’t used to that,” Dreyer said. As the offseason begins for Western Brown football there is a lot to reflect on. The program took another step toward that first playoff win, and they hope to build on that next year. While they will be losing seniors like Wood and McIntosh, the Broncos will see Patten, Hornung, Dawson and defensive leader Josh Young return. “The seniors have to realize they took another step for the program. They will look back and be proud of what they have done this year. The first playoff victory is still out there, and that’s what we are going to be gunning for,” Dreyer said.

wanted to do more then just wear pink. They wanted to have a fund raiser to support the cause! The Fayetteville Rockets Wings’ team was invited to be ball girls for the first tournament game for the Varsity Fayetteville Lady Rockets vs. Williamsburg on Oct. 14th. The team thought this would be the perfect opportunity to cheer on the High School Lady Rockets and hold a bake sale. Again, they were fortunate to watch another Rocket victory by the High School team and the fans were extremely supportive of the Wings’ team by purchasing all the home baked goods they had for sale, helping the team raise $80. The team discussed what to do with the money and when they heard that Mrs. Noble (a teacher at Fayetteville Perry Elementary) was collecting money in honor of Mrs. Beebe to donate to the American Cancer Society, the team quickly made their decision. Most of the girls have had Mrs. Beebe for a teacher and all of them are inspired by the positive role model she is for “GIRL FIGHTING POWER!” Mrs. Beebe teaches first grade at Fayetteville Elementary School. She is battling

breast cancer. She has had such a positive attitude through it all! She is an inspiration to our school and to our community. The PTO did a 5K mud-a-thon this summer with all the proceeds going towards breast cancer research. Mrs. Noble and Mrs. Beebe and their families participated in a 5K in October raising about $300 for cancer research. We are currently raising more money and have about an additional $100 to donate in hopes of helping find a cure! If you would like to donate, please contact Angela Noble at angela.noble@fp.k12.oh. us. On Sunday, Nov. 10 the Fayetteville Rockets Wings’ team won the second round of State tournament games (they received a bye for the first round) beating Cincy Central 2 to 1. They are currently one of eight best SAY teams in the State of Ohio. Their next game will be held on Saturday, November 16th, 9:30am at the CCAA Sports Complex on Springdale Road in Cincinnati. They are hoping for a win to get the opportunity to play in the Final four on Sunday. The team would love all the support they can get from the SAY Five Points’ Community.

Eleven girls started practicing together in mid July and they are still excited about their next game around the corner, even with the first snow that has already fallen. The Fayetteville Rockets Wings team has worked extremely hard during the season and it has paid off! They placed second in the league and finished first at the Five Points SAY tournament held on Nov. 3rd. Winning aside, this team has experienced so much more this season. The Rockets have made two trips to watch the Xavier Musketeers play soccer and have had the opportunity to be ball girls during one of the games and showed off their soccer talents on the Xavier turf field during half time of another game. The Rockets enjoyed watching the games and cheered on the Musketeers for two victories. After the game, the Xavier girls autographed shirts and posters for the Rockets! In October the girls started wearing pink socks because a few of the team players have family members struggling with breast cancer! They looked awesome in their pink socks and all of the attention they got brought up the discussion at practice that they

Today we expect to find services on our phones at the touch of a finger – and now Ohio veterans can join the digital revolution, thanks to a mobile app unveiled today by the Ohio Department of Veterans Services. “This app literally puts veterans’ benefits in the palm of their hand,” Ohio Department of Veterans Services Director Tim Gorrell said. “It enables them to find out very quickly what major benefits they’ve earned and how and where to apply for them.” The department’s flipbook “Benefits Resource Guide” (also available online at: http://dvs.ohio.gov/home/v eterans_benefits_guide.asp x ) provided an inspiration

for the mobile app. The intent was to take the guide to the next level by making such information available in an electronic, easily-retrievable form. The app provides an overview of the principal benefits available to veterans and how to apply for them. In the case of most federal and state benefits, this takes the form of a link to a portion of the app where contact information is available for each of Ohio’s county veterans’ service offices by name, zip code or location. There is also a map feature and directional information. The same contact, map and directional information is available for U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) facilities in the state. “We’re taking the most

advanced technology available to connect with veterans – we don’t want any veterans left behind,” Director Gorrell said. “For our young veterans who are used to using apps, it’s great to have it now – but we also know that more and more veterans will want to take advantage of it as we move forward.” The app is available, at no cost, from the Google Play and iTunes stores, by searching the key words “Ohio veteran.” The department’s web site, www.ohiovet.gov, contains a link to the stores. The app is compatible with Android and iOS devices. In addition, the app is also available as a mobile web site at: https://apps.dvs.ohio.gov/ mobile/www/index.html

Mercy Health, which provides quality care with compassion in your neighborhood through its network of care, is taking the opportunity during November’s American Diabetes Month recognition to draw attention to the fact that every hour, seven people across the country lose a foot or leg to diabetes. The health care experts at The Wound Care Centers & Hyperbaric Medicine Programs at Mercy Health, members of the Healogics™ network, note that diabetes is the leading cause of lower-limb amputations not caused by accidents. The experts at The Wound Care Centers & Hyperbaric Medicine Programs at Mercy Health

note the following as indications of problems diabetics may have with their legs and urge people to discuss symptoms they may have with their healthcare providers immediately: • pain in the legs or cramping in the buttocks, thighs or calves during physical activity • tingling, burning or painful feet • loss of sense of touch or the ability to feel heat or cold in the feet • changes in the shape, color or temperature of the feet • hair loss on the toes, feet and lower legs • dry or cracked skin on the feet • thick and yellow toenails or fungus infections

between the toes • blisters, sores, infected corns and ingrown toenails Physicians at The Wound Care Centers & Hyperbaric Medicine Programs at Mercy Health recommend that people with diabetes manually inspect their feet each day and seek immediate attention if a lower extremity wound has increased pain, redness or swelling, foul wound odor or a change in color or change in amount of drainage. For more information on the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers, contact The Wound Care Centers & Hyperbaric Medicine Programs at Mercy Health – Clermont Hospital at (513) 735-8924.

Every hour, seven people with diabetes have an amputation; Mercy Health notes warning signs
