Stykes autopsy report released BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press The final autopsy report on Brittany Stykes has been released by Brown County Coroner Dr. Judith Varnau. The autopsy was conducted at the Montgomery County Coroner’s office, and is dated Sept. 27. It shows that Stykes died from a gunshot wound when a bullet pierced her heart. Stykes was also hit in

the neck and right arm by bullets. Both the neck and chest wounds came from the left side, and the arm wound from the right. The autopsy refers to the arm wound as a “possible re-entry” wound. All three bullets were from an "indeterminate or distant range of fire”, according to the report. Forensic Pathologist Susan Allen, who signed the report, concluded that the shots did not come from close range due to a

lack of gunpowder soot or stippling near the wounds. The report also lists numerous scrapes and bruises found on her head, arms, hands and legs, and that no drugs or alcohol were noted in her system. The report also said that Stykes was 17 weeks pregnant at the time of her death. She was found dead in her Jeep along US Route 68 between Georgetown and Ripley on Aug. 28, with her young daughter

Aubree in the back seat. Aubree had suffered a gunshot wound to the head, and has undergone multiple surgeries since the shooting. Chief Deputy John Schadle of the Brown County Sheriff’s Office said that investigators are still getting “three or four calls a week” about the case. “Some of the information is panning out and some is not”, Schadle said. “It’s a slow process, but

we are going to do everything in our power to bring the individual responsible for this crime to justice.” The reward for information leading to a conviction in the case is now $10,000. Anyone with information is asked to call (937) 3784435, log onto the Brown County Sheriff's Office website at www.bcso.info. Information can also be called in anonymously by contacting Crime Stoppers at (513) 352-3040 or toll free at 1-888-352-3040.

ELECTION 2013 EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO VOTE ON NOVEMBER 5

Eight fight for A’deen council BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press The village of Aberdeen has the most competition for a village council seat in the county. Eight people are running to fill four open seats. The question of whether to build a new water plant is the issue at the center of the election. Village council has been debating the issue for over a year, and the village is facing a default judgement in court after losing a breach of contract lawsuit filed by Shinn Brothers, the company hired in 2011 to build the water

plant. A trial to determine the amount of damages to be awarded to Shinn Brothers is set for November 27th. The company sued the village for approximately $800,000. The company has said it will settle the case for just over $100,000 in attorney fees and expenses if the village agrees to resume the project. Before council on a second of three readings is a settlement offer with bondholder Annette Mineer that would return the $2.7 million dollars curCONTINUED ON PAGE 14

Six Georgetown council candidates BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press Six candidates are competing for four open seats on the Georgetown Village Council. Challengers Zachary Triplett and Susan Bean are in the race along current council members Kelly Cornette, Sarah Eagan, RaeLena Morrison and Arthur Owens. Each of the candidates are listed below in alphabetical order. Susan Bean Bean has been a Georgetown resident for number of years. She first

ran for village council six years ago. She didn’t win, but said the experience was still a valuable one. “I got a lot of votes and was very gratified by the number of votes I got. I also met a lot of people in Georgetown and started to get a grasp about what they were thinking about.” Bean said she decided to run again when a new digital sign was placed by the village near the entrance to the fairgrounds. Bean disagreed with the decision and decided to try her hand at running for office once again. CONTINUED ON PAGE 13

Five fight for four seats in Ripley BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press Five candidates are competing for four open seats on Ripley Village Council on Nov. 5. They are incumbents Charles Poole, Nowana Bingaman and Roberta Sidwell, along with newcomers Nathan Pfeffer and David Otis. The responses from the candidates are listed below in alphabetical order. Nowana Bingaman Bingaman said that she feels that the program to deal with unoccupied

buildings within the village has been a success. “I think one of the biggest accomplishments has been dealing with the unfinished buildings, either taking some of them down or fixing up the ones that are salvageable”, she said. Bingaman also said that it was vital to the future of the village to attract new business. “Ripley has a lot to offer. There is so much potential here.” She said if she is reelected to council she would like to see some current projects through to completion. CONTINUED ON PAGE 14

‘Let the games begin’.... That’s what the mayor of Mt. Orab, Bruce Lunsford and members of the Parade Committee are saying. Members of the committee including Bruce and Becky Lunsford, Missy Schneider, Connie Patrick, Sharon Taylor, Woody Whittington, Dave Standring, Stephanie Standring, Dave Dewitt and Bev Burkhart have been busy for weeks already, building, decorating and preparing as many as 11 floats, which will be a part of the 2013 Mt. Orab Christmas Parade, set for Saturday, November 30 beginning at 6 p.m. This year’s Grand Marshal for the 2013 parade will be local resident Alma Monk. Mayor Lunsford described her as the perfect Grand Marshal for her many years of support to the community. “We’re looking forward to this year’s parade,” said Lunsford. “We’ve added another costumed character this year, ‘Goofy.’ Every year the committee tries to

dedicating an alley, known as Sydney Lane, as a public roadway in the Village. The alley extends from West State Street to West Cherry Street. Chief Coburn also talked to council about an ongoing issue with long trucks and vans parking behind the courthouse. “Part of the problem is because the existing center line is not actually in the center of the street,” Chief Coburn said. Coburn offered three possible options to help with the problem including, moving the center line to the middle of the street, put up signs disallowing parking of trucks and vans or make parallel parking on that side of the street which would eliminate eight parking spaces. Following a brief discussion, German recommended that he contact the county engineers office to get an estimate on the cost to move the center line on that section of street. German handed out an arial view of the proposed TIF (Tax Increment Financing) District in the village which consists of about 181.4 acres of all of the downtown area. TIF will provide Georgetown with a way to fund public infrastructure improvements such as roadways, bridges, ditches, water and sewer lines, associated with new development. “We decided that a larger TIF district made more sense,” German said. “By having 181 acres, it will allow us to generate a larger sum of money to work with. And the money that is generated has to be spent inside this TIF district.” Council also approved Nov. 29 (Friday after Thanksgiving) as a day off for village employees.

featuring The Country Barn, Schoolhouse Quilts, The Hodge Podge Shop and the Tin Shack. “We are very excited to add four more businesses to the upcoming Shop Hop” said Carol Myers, owner/operator of The Hodge Podge Shop. “We were very happy with the results of the first Shop Hop, we all had a lot of fun and we’ve all had a lot of people asking when we’re doing it again. So

with Christmas fast approaching we decided now would be a good time to schedule a Christmas Shop Hop.” Myers said the newest participants in the event are Glorious Wonders, Thompson House Gallery, Georgetown Florist and the Country Flower Shack. “What a great line-up for shoppers,” Myers said. “This event is going to be so much fun for everyone. “Each of these merchants

will display a decorated chair outside their shop to indicate that they are a Shop Hop participant.” Myers added that shoppers visiting all eight shops who have their shop hop pass, (picked up at the first shop) stamped by each participating shop and later turns in their pass at the last shop they visit, will be entered into a grand prize drawing. “Shoppers can vote for their favorite decorated chair,” Myers explained, “Each of the shops will also be holding their own drawings for door prizes on both days.” Myers said that the winner of the Shop Hop drawing held in September was Kathy Liming of Georgetown who won a gift certificate to the Country Inn. Each of the eight shops will be decorated to the hilt and will offer savings to all visitors on those two days. “Everyone is invited to come experience the sights, sounds and scents of an early country Christmas,” she said. “Enjoy vintage Santas, snowmen, feather trees and so much more await discovery.” She added, “Visitors can find unique gifts for someone special on their list or that perfect item to finish their tree or mantle. All eight merchants look forward to seeing everyone at the Early Country Christmas Shop Hop, Nov. 8 and 9.”

the things it can not do for the village,” Morrison said. “I have also included a copy of the bylaws that the village would need. These bylaws were just proposed bylaws, anything like this would have to be voted on and approved by council before they would be in effect.” She explained that the CIC is a separate non-elected and non-profit organization comprised of individuals creating a board of members. The board will be comprised of two individuals appointed by council, one individual appointed by the mayor and two at large members nominated and voted by the existing board. Morrison assured council that it would be at least six months to a year before any projects would be considered under the CIC program. Morrison then asked members of council to each compile a list of agencies, organizations or programs that are available for businessess here in the village. “That way, if we do have

a business owner who comes to us with a question, and it’s not something the CIC handles,” Morrison said, “we can look on that list and put them in contact with someone who could help them.” Village administrator Jeremy German told council that once the CIC board is seated, those members will prioritize what they think are the most important things to do in the village, and they will choose which project to begin with. German said that the program is working very well throughout the state and he expects it to work well in Georgetown. Village Solicitor Jay Cutrell reported to council that in the 1960’s there was a similar program created in the village. “I think this is a good idea for the village at this time,” Cutrell said. “At the time the one was organized in the village in the 60’s, there wasn’t much going on in the village and I don’t think anyone was eager to have anything going on.” Cutrell stated that he sees the CIC as being a real aid to council as well as the businesses in Georgetown. Council approved the creation of a Georgetown CIC and pay the $125 filing fee. In other business, council approved a proposed ordinance to get rid of surplus property owned by the village including: • 1994 Toyota Tacoma • 2003 Pontiac Sunfire • 1994 fuel tank (2,000 gallon) Mayor Dale Cahall told council that Georgetown will be joining with the Village of Ripley in the property sale. The ordinance was adopted after suspending the threereading rule. Council also approved

During the round-table portion of the Georgetown Village Council meeting Oct. 24, Police Chief Forrest “Buddy” Coburn announced his plans to retire, by the end of November. Coburn’s request for retirement was approved during the council meeting. He has served the village as police chief since 2003. He has over 25 years of experience in law enforcement. In other business, Georgetown Village Council members also unanimously voted to establish a village operated Emergency Medical Service and to create a fund for the service. The ordinance sets forth operation of the EMS under the Georgetown Fire Department. The mayor and the administrator are authorized to execute any and all documents or other paperwork regarding the establishment of the EMS and the ordinance was passed as an emergency. The ordinance states that the new organization will be known as the Georgetown Volunteer Fire Department and EMS. On another matter, the Village of Georgetown has been in continuing negotiations regarding creating a ‘Georgetown Community Improvement Corporation’ (CIC) which is for the marketing, the revitalization and the promotion of the growth of the Village of Georgetown. Councilwoman RaeLena Morrison passed out a brief summary of the purpose of forming a CIC in Georgetown. “This summary shows a list of the things the CIC can do for the village as well as

WHAT ABOUT YOU?

MICAH addresses God’s people on behalf of God as all faithful prophets would do. In so doing he considers their refusal to acknowledge their sins. Nothing changes does it? We find the same today. In Chapter 6 he states the Lord’s case against Israel. He anticipates (or quotes their questions) in verses 6:6-7. These are increasingly sarcastic questions to God. They refuse to say they are sinful. “Shall I offer my firstborn for my transgression…?” Verse 7a. Micah then answers their objections in what is one of the clearest answers to any question in Scripture. This is found in Verse 6:8, “He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.” The Israelites asked if more offerings and sacrifices are needed, even to the offering of their firstborn. Micah says, no. No offerings of cattle or sins. But offering yourself wholly and sacrificially to God is what is REQUIRED. We don’t like that word in America today. No one has a right to require anything of me is heard today! Three simple things from Micah: One is ‘’to act justly”. The man of God will sacrifice for those who are being wronged. What is right in God’s will is the very thing a man of God will do. Social injustice was evident in Micah’s day. (3:1,8) Maybe that is why Micah brings this first in his list. Today is that what we do? For example: As the unborn children’s lives are being sacrificed to the god of convenience in our day, are we sacrificing ourselves to stop this injustice (murder). God expects this

of the man of God. It is required of us. Second, Micah says the man of God is ‘’to love mercy”. Mercy literally means to ‘to have pity, to have compassion’. The man of God who has all his doctrines in order but does not love mercy is in error. This is continual action. It is a way of life to love mercy. Jesus being our perfect example, of course. He lived a life of pity, mercy for the suffering masses. Jesus had such pity and mercy that he gave his life for all mankind who are lost in sins. He pitied our situation and acted upon it! A sacrificing of love in mercy is required of a man of God. Third, Micah states: “to walk humbly with your God”. One cannot do the first two consistently without having this third quality in his life. To walk humbly is not so much self-abasement but more a ‘submission to God as you walk down life’s road’. Our every step is to be determined by God’s will and way. Constantly seeking his will through his Word is a required to readjust or confirm our journey here. What is Micah saying? He is saying to the Israelites and us that sacrificing anything without this INNER CHANGE is worthless. God always has worked from the inside out. If we are dead on the inside to the ways of God then the outside actions mean little. Remember Jesus said the Pharisees were ‘white-washed tombs’. May we not be! Let us help you in YOUR life’s journey to Heaven! “All the churches of Christ send greetings.” Romans 16:16 Gary J Mattingly Fayetteville Church of Christ 513-875-3636

Letters to the Editor

Vote Yes on Senior Services Levy Dear Editor, On November 5th, voters in Brown County will have the opportunity to renew the Senior Services Levy. The renewal will not raise taxes. The Northern Brown Senior Center is a major beneficiary of the levy. As the Center’s director, I would like to share with you the good work that levy permits the Center to accomplish for the seniors of Brown County. There are many seniors in northern Brown County who are isolated – living alone with minimal contact to others and inadequate transportation to fulfill basic needs, such as grocery shopping and medical appointments. The Northern Brown Senior Center (NBSC) was founded in 1986 as a program of Catholic Charities of Southwestern Ohio to serve these seniors; providing a broad array of services to senior citizens and people with disabilities in the northern town-

ships of Brown County and surrounding area. These services include educational enrichment, socialization, supportive services, medical and personal assistance and transportation. NBSC serves older adults (55 years of age or older) and the disabled, at the edge of Appalachia, primarily from the three northern panhandle townships (Green, Perry, Sterling) of Brown County and the surrounding townships. NBSC addresses the need for senior citizens to decrease their isolation, loneliness, and lack of care and to better improve their health and their quality of life. Its transportation services are available five days a week and the Center facilities are open two days a week – Mondays for educational enrichment, medical screenings, and entertainment; and Thursdays for Arthritis Exercise and chair volleyball practice. It is part of the

Brown County chair volleyball league and a part of the annual tournament. NBSC is the focal point of a multiple agency response to rural isolation, loneliness and lack of transportation and care. It is actively involved with Brown County Seniors Alive, Arthritis Exercise Program, Adams/Brown Heart Healthy Program, Diabetes Educational Task Force, Alzheimer’s Association, Area Agency on Aging District 7, Brown County Libraries, and Ohio State University Extension Service. NBSC provides casemanagement for individuals with other agencies to help provide for the needs of the elderly. Brown County Senior Citizens Council, Inc., Adams Brown Counties Economic Opportunities, Inc., and the Center work well together as a team for the needs of the Brown County elderly. It provides backup transportation, chair volleyball

activities, County Fair, Senior Citizens Day, meals on wheels, and other services upon referral. By involving ourselves in the local community planning, we can advocate for the needs of the elderly. Five years ago the voters of Brown County passed the Senior Services Levy to help provide for NBSC’s senior services. The levy is extremely vital to the success of the Center. We can’t do what we do without the support of Brown County voters. On November 5th, the levy is on the ballot for renewal. NBSC, Brown County Senior Citizens Council Inc., and Adams Brown Counties Economic Opportunities Inc. are asking the voters of Brown County to renew the levy. As a renewal, it will not raise your taxes. We need your support. Thank you for all who support the Northern Brown Senior Center. Nancy Stegbauer, NBSC Activity Director

Spend Medicaid savings wisely Dear Editor, Last week I was so pleased when Gov. Kasich made an end run and acquired federal funding for at least 275,000 new Medicaid recipients. I learned that amounted to a saving of $404 million. I have seen what this could do for our state; 1000 police, 675 firefighters, 14,000-plus preschool seats, 1570 teachers across the state,

and much more for the welfare of the middle class and below. Now just see what our Republican leaders in the Ohio Senate have proposed in Senate Bill 210. In SB210 the savings from the federal funding of the Medicaid expansion will be used for a 4 percent income-tax cut . This broken down amounts to an average cut for the top 1 per-

cent of Ohioans $1,437. The average middle 20 percent $28. The average for the lowest 20 percent $1. Now the top 1 percent could probably go to New York City and have a night on the town. But what could the rest of us do. The middle could go for a night out in Mt. Orab or Georgetown and the lowest 20 percent couldn't buy a cup of coffee at Starbucks. For my part I would much rather see more teachers, firemen, police and the savings could also go to fixing the 6,500 obsolete and/or structurally defi-

cient bridges in our state. Now don't you think we should use the Medicaid savings to improve Ohio, instead of giving more tax cuts to the already very, very rich.

According to the Ohio Department of Public Safety’s Crash Statistics database, Brown County has had five fatal crashes resulting in five deaths during the time period of January 1st through September 30, 2013. In comparison, we had only three fatal crashes responsible for four deaths for the same time period in 2012. Although one of these crashes occurred more due to a freak of nature than anything else, the majority occurred due to some type of driver error and a couple of them also involved impaired driving. On a positive note, our injury and property damage-only crashes, as well as our total number of crashes, are down this year from what they were last year at this time. Another big positive is that Brown County had the largest increase in seat belt use within the Wilmington District of the Ohio State Highway Patrol following the Memorial Day 2013 “Click It Or Ticket” campaign. This is really good news, and let’s keep that positive trend going! Remember--your buckled seat belt is THE #1 defense against death and serious injury in most traffic crashes. So buckle up for every ride no matter how short of a ride or drive you take. If you’re not buckled up, What’s Holding You Back??? How else can you help

OPINION

SUSAN BASTA to make Brown County roads safer? Put down that cell phone when you’re behind the wheel, and Stay Alive-Don’t Text and Drive. Also, don’t drink and then drive, and don’t drive when you’re drowsy. Let’s all keep working together to prevent any more traffic deaths in Brown County in 2013. If for no other reason, do it for your kids and other loved ones! The “Safe Communities” Program was developed through the Ohio Department of Public Safety to establish and/or expand community partnerships to create safer, healthier communities throughout Ohio. The Brown County Safe Communities Coalition is a group of individuals and agencies dedicated to reducing traffic crash-related deaths and serious injuries. It is funded by USDOT/NHTSA and ODPS/Ohio State Highway Patrol-Ohio Traffic Safety Office and administered locally by the University of Cincinnati Area Health Education Center Program and HEALTH-UC. HEALTH-UC’s office is located at 114 East State Street in Georgetown, OH.

F’ville council not buying church After discussing the issue for a number of months, the Fayetteville Council has decided not to purchase the building that housed the former Fayetteville United Methodist Church. After an extended discussion at the October 23 meeting, council members decided that the timing was wrong for the village to go into debt by purchasing the church building because there were too many unknowns as far as what might be needed in repairs. Matt Smith, owner/operator of Rite-On Construction, approached council to go over an estimate he had prepared and submitted for work needed on the current council chamber building. The bid, which was for $5,693 included ridge cap, replacing rotten areas of the building and new venting. Council received another bid, which was for $8,500. Williams told council that if he could get an answer before Nov. 1 he could get superior shingles for $81 a square foot, which would save the village some money. Following the discussion, council voted to ac-

cept the bid from Smith and move forward with coming up with the funds to pay for the necessary work. Village Clerk Barbara Kiley told members of the Fayetteville Village Council that things were tight in the general fund for the village. “Funding from the local government has gone down so much it’s pathetic,” Kiley said. “We’re not anticipating any more money coming in other than what we usually receive. We have approximately $13,000 in the general fund right now.” Mayor Bernie Vilvens said that the village only had two more months to get through, and Kiley confirmed that the village would be okay, just tight. During committee reports, in the absence of street committee chair Jim McMullen, Mayor Vilvens read a brief report from McMullen. Vilvens reported that the salt spreader had to have a new motor and brackets which will cost $210. McMullen plans on taking the old spreader apart to see if new brackets could be made. He also said that there are only a few more pot-holes to be fixed in the village.

Park committee chair Ed Coleman reported that painting projects in the park had been completed and the remainder of paint will be used next spring for picnic tables. Bob Campbell, village administrator gave a brief report updating council on progress made in finding where village ordinances had been filed with the county. “According to our solicitor Cecelia Potts,” Campbell said, “She looked into the law library and found that nothing with our ordinances has been filed. We gave Cecelia a copy of about 10 or our ordinances to file, but she hasn’t gotten back to me yet.” Mayor Vilvens said that the solicitor would be in attendance of the Nov. 13 council meeting to update the board on filing the ordinances. Campbell also reported that a public hearing had been held on Oct. 14 regarding a zoning change at 372 West Pike Street and no one showed up to object. The proposal is to change the piece of property from residential to commercial. In other business, council adopted the Anderson Code, which is a guideline

FP seeks $1.2M grant BY Martha B. Jacob The Brown County Press Raegan White, Superintendent of FayettevillePerry School District, has joined forces with three other districts, and the four could be eligible for a $7.3 million ‘Straight A Fund’ grant. White reported at the October 17 board of education meeting that he has teamed with LynchburgClay, Blanchester and East Clinton local school districts in applying for a grant that could bring $1.2 million to Fayetteville-Perry schools. “The Straight A Fund is a $250 million program that promotes innovative local ideas and programs to help transform and modernize Ohio’s education system,” White said. “These grant funds, if we get them will be used to buy laptops or Chrome books for every student at Fayetteville-Perry, K through 12. Our hope is to eventually eliminate textbooks all together,” he said. The Straight A Fund is governed by a nine-member board made up of Ohio State Superintendent Richard Ross, four members appointed by Governor Kasich, two members appointed by the speaker of the House of Representatives and two members appointed by the president of the Senate. White said the application from the four school districts was submitted last Friday, and they should have a response by December. In other business at the meeting, which was led by vice president of the board Kathleen Johnson, in the absence of president Angela Murphy, the five-year forecast was approved by the board, which was pre-

The Common Core Standards Initiative has been adopted in Ohio and is considered to be a state-led effort that establishes a single set of clear educational standards for kindergarten through 12th grade in English language arts and mathematics. Tyler Parcell, recent graduate of FayettevillePerry High School and member of the FFA, then spoke to members of the board about his upcoming speech competition at the national level. Earlier this year, Parcell was selected to compete for national recognition in an FFA Career Development Event scheduled for Oct. 30-Nov. 2 in Louisville, KY.

Chief Carson also said that the missing title to a police vehicle which had been sold to Southern Hills Career and Tech Center had been found. He explained that the title had never been in possession of the village, it was still in Columbus. Carson said he had a second cruiser that he wanted to get rid of, which would leave his department with two vehicles. He added that hopefully in the future the village can purchase a new cruiser.

Sciatica: Causes and Treatment Options Dr. Lydia Ogden According to Dorland’s Medical Dictionary, 27th edition, sciatica is defined as a syndrome characterized by pain radiating from the back into the buttock and into the lower extremity along its posterior or lateral aspect, and most commonly caused by a prolapse of the intervertebral disc; the term is also used to refer to pain anywhere along the course of the sciatic nerve. Clinically speaking, sciatica is really a symptom as opposed to a diagnosis. If you have been diagnosed with sciatica, the question remains, “what is causing the sciatica?” Just like in the case of low back pain, there are numerous causes of sciatica. Quite commonly it is due to a prolapsed lumbar intervertebral disc, which is also known as a disc herniation or protrusion. A protruded disc in the lower back is pinching or “putting pressure” on a spinal nerve root that forms part of the sciatic nerve. Very often though, people think they have sciatica when it is not true sciatica. In other words, they don’t have pain that radiates from the back into the buttock and all the way into the lower leg. Some additional causes of true sciatica are lumbar spine degenerative disc disease, lumbar spinal stenosis, lumbar spondylolisthesis, and diabetes. A thorough evaluation is critical in determining your possible cause or causes of sciatic nerve pain. For many people, sciatica can be severe and debilitating. Sciatic nerve pain and sciatica sympDr. Lydia Ogden include the following: is a Chiropractic toms• Pain radiating from the low back, down the back of the thigh, into the lower leg and Physician and possibly into the foot and toes. • Numbness or paresthesia and tingling and/or burning down the back of the thigh and leg. is the owner of • Pain may be constant or intermittent. Active Living • Severe cases may include muscle weakness and/or bowel or bladder incontinence (inability to control the bowel or bladder). Chiropractic It is very important to understand that symptoms of sciatica can vary greatly and a thorough located evaluation is necessary to determine the underlying cause of the sciatic pain. In some cases an in Mt. Orab, OH. MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) is needed to conclude which spinal nerve root is being “pinched”. X-rays are very helpful to reveal areas of spinal degenerative disc disease or arthritis. Sciatica treatment is fundamentally directed at reducing nerve root pressure and irritation as well as controlling the associated inflammation. Oftentimes, surgery can be avoided by undertaking a holistic approach in treating the cause or causes of your sciatic nerve pain. A non-surgical, comprehensive approach should address the following: 1. Areas of spinal or extremity joint dysfunction that may contribute to compensatory stress and irritation on the lumbar spinal joints and muscles. For example, even if you have a disc herniation, abnormal spinal joint function can lead to muscle tightness and spasm in the low back which ultimately affects the lumbar spine discs. 2. Muscle strength and flexibility of the legs, pelvis and back. Overly tight hip flexor muscles can adversely affect the pelvis creating stress and irritation on the lumbar spine discs. 3. Inflammation. Typically, your body tends to “over-react” and produce excessive biochemicals of inflammation when you have an injury. Although inflammation is part of healing, it is critical to prevent the inflammation from becoming extreme or chronic. Chiropractic manipulation is the most effective treatment available to correct areas of spinal joint stiffness and restriction. The chiropractic adjustment is gently applied by hand and stimulates pain blocking nerves, restores normal joint movement, reduces muscle spasm and tightness and increases blood flow to reduce inflammation. Physical rehabilitation and exercise are necessary to correct areas of muscle tightness and weakness. Lastly, proper diet and supplementation is the key to addressing chronic inflammation.

Ribbon cutting held for hike bike trail Phase two of the Batavia to Williamsburg trail complete

BY KRISTIN ROVER

Sun staff

Bicycling enthusiasts along with government and park district officials gathered for a ribbon cutting and ceremonial bike ride for the second phase of the Williamsburg to Batavia Hike Bike Trail Oct. 26. “I am glad you are here celebrating with us,” Chris Clingman, executive director of the Clermont County Park District, said. The second phase of the trail, which was recently completed, extends the trail to the campground area of East Fork State Park in Williamsburg and gives cyclists access to roads in the park. The first phase, which is approximately 2.5 miles long begins on Broadway Street in the village of Williamsburg and ends at an overlook along Harsha Lake. The trail will eventually connect the village of Williamsburg to the village of Batavia.

Several local political subdivisions and organizations are working together to complete the trail including Clermont County Park District, the villages of Williamsburg and Batavia, Batavia and Williamsburg townships, Clermont County Commissioners, Ohio State Parks, and more. “This is a collaborative effort,” Clingman said about the project. Clermont County Commissioner Ed Humphrey the trail is a wonderful thing for the community. “We are really proud to be a part of this,” Humphrey said. “It is not only an economic development tool but it is also great for those of us who live close.” Humphrey said they are looking forward to being able to complete the trail in the county. He attended the ceremony with Commissioner David Uible, who participated in the ceremonial bike ride along with Clermont County Prosecutor

Vince Faris and other guests. Also during the ceremony, officials announced plans to construct a memorial for former Batavia Township Trustee Jim Bushman at the site of the bike trail near the campground. Bushman’s step-son Jason Fraley described the plans for the memorial area that will also serve as a gathering area at the trailhead. “There will be concrete bike racks and a sitting area,” Fraley said. “I think it will be a nice improvement.” Clingman said much of the second phase of the trail was funded by a $412,000 Transportation Enhancement Grant through the Ohio Kentucky Indiana Regional Council of Governments with a local match of $120,819. Organizers are working on raising funds to complete phase three of the trail, and are determined to get the trail finished.

The village has a chart available for residents to keep track of their numbers, and Hart said someone from the clinic will initial the chart after measurements

are taken. He said the person who loses the most weight will win a special prize at the end of the program. “We are excited about it,” Hart said about getting started. Hart said a rain date for the event will be held on Mondays. He said he is also available to have a rain makeup day on Sundays if residents are interested.

3-time champion Lions are well represented in All-SBC honors

B Y C HRIS C HANEY Sun staff

Another strong season and conference championship for the New Richmond Lions golf team has led to a plethora of recognition for head coach Phil Heflin and his team. However, the Lions weren’t the only members of the Southern Buckeye Conference to garner multiple nods on the end-of-the-season All-Conference teams with Clermont County schools Amelia, Batavia and Clermont Northeasterns all placing numerous linksters on the league honor roll. The All-Star teams are compiled by awarding First and Second Team honors by virtue of an individual’s finish in a year-long competition that encompasses four 9hole rounds and one 18hole round played against their fellow SBC opponents. In the American Division, the Lions of New Richmond took home the hardware for the third consecutive season be-

hind the steady play of junior Player of the Year Chris Mazzaro and under the tutelage of Coach of the Year Heflin, who won the award for the fourth consecutive season. Mazzaro boasted a 36.40 9-hole average for the season, which ranked him first in the SBC and third overall in the city. Mazzaro medaled at the year-end tournament held at Cedar Trace on Sept. 21, firing a 3-over par 74. Joining the junior on the First Team from New Richmond were teammates Bryce Kroeger and Kyle Heidlage, both of whom will return for their senior seasons in 2014. Kroeger was the lone Lion to advance out of the sectional tournament, finishing in a tie for 13th overall and fourth among individuals on non-qualifying teams. Kroeger shot an 84 at the district tournament to finish in a tie for 35th. Daman Abner, another junior for the Lions, was a Second Team selection. Joining New Richmond in the First Team honors on the American side of the league were Trent Edwards and Gavin Joyce of Amelia. The Barons finished second to New Richmond as a team. Sophomore Evan Daniel and junior Austin Meenach were Second Team selections also from Amelia. Sophomore Mitchell McElfresh of Bethel-Tate rounded out the six First

Teamers and joined Kroeger as the second member of the American Division to represent at the district tournament. McElfresh shot an 81 at the sectional tournament, which placed him in a tie for 9th overall and third among individuals. And like Kroeger, McElfresh shot an 84 at Weatherwax Golf Course in the district tournament. Doug Dorton, the promising freshman from Goshen, was a Second Team selection. On the other side of the conference, Georgetown captured the individual accolades as well as the team title with Trent Poe being named Player of the Year and head coach Sheri Griffith taking Coach of the Year. Poe was a district qualifier, a moniker only Austin Conner of Batavia, a First Team selection, can also claim as the senior Bulldog shot an 81 to qualify out of sectionals and followed it up with a 99 at Weatherwax. Fellow senior and teammate Kyle Grant flanked Conner on the Second Team. Also earning Second Team distinction in the National Division were CNE Rockets Jerod Ansteatt, a sophomore, and junior Kiefer Cunningham. Felicity’s Jordan Utter and Williamsburg’s Josh Wells, juniors both, rounded out the Second Team in the National.

White and Tollefson of Mt. Orab become Eagle Scouts On Oct. 5, 2013, Troop #401 of Mt. Orab, celebrated two new Eagle Scouts with an Eagle Court of Honor at the Dan Beard Council Scout Center. The new Eagle Scouts are Kevin Tollefson, son of Jan and Lynn Tollefson, and Luke White, son of Chris and Helen White. The Eagle Scout Badge is the most prestigious award that can be earned in Boy Scouts. Both Luke and Kevin began their scouting journey as young Tiger Cubs. They worked their way through Cub Scouts and Webelos, earning the Arrow of Light, the highest award in Cub Scouts. As Scouts

they worked their way up the levels of rank, starting at Tenderfoot, then 2nd Class, 1st Class, Star, Life, and finally Eagle Scout. Kevin and Luke have also earned at least 21 merit badges and completed many hours of community service on the way to Eagle Scout. They each led a community service project to complete their Eagle Scout rank. Luke worked with Greene Township leaders to install benches along the walking path at the Greenbush Park. Kevin worked with members of the United Methodist Church to build better storage areas

at the church. This is the church that sponsors the troop. Rep. Doug Green attended the ceremony, and personally congratulated Kevin and Luke. He presented them each with a certificate of appreciation on behalf of the members of the Ohio House of Representatives. Luke and Kevin thank all who have helped them on their journey, including Mel White, the assistant scout leader, Dan Fulmer the troop advancement chairman (and Kevin's Cub Scout leader), Chris White troop Committee Chairman and Jan Tollefson, the leader of troop #401.

Design it, build it—Go STEM! A Collaboration between Girl Scouts, Techbridge and Cincinnati State Girl Scouts in fourth through eighth grades—80 of them—will gather at Cincinnati State for handson engineering activities Saturday, November 2, 2013, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Girl Scouts will have the opportunity to design their own game board, learn soldering to make the game light up, interact with female engineers—all

while having fun with other Girl Scouts their own age. Volunteers from the Society of Women Engineers will help facilitate the curriculum designed by Techbridge, Inc. Over the past 50 years, women in the United States have made great strides in education and entry into the work force in this country. However, despite these advances, women continue to be underrepresented in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and math, collectively referred to as “STEM.” Women’s

representation is low at all levels of the STEM career “pipeline,” from interest and intent to majoring in a STEM field in college to having a career in a STEM field in adulthood. Studies show that girls lose interest in math and science during middle school, specifically the fifth grade and STEM interest for girls is low, compared to boys. Girl Scouts wants girls to understand their options in STEM careers and let girls know that they can design it, build it and make the world a better place.

PROMISE

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

Titus is a little book in the Bible written by Paul to Titus, who was one of Paul’s students. He was mentored by Paul in the ministry of the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. Look with me at the first 2 verses of chapter 1: “Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God's elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness; In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began...” Ladies and gentlemen we are not of the hope we are in the hope. We thank God that we are not out of the hope. Paul said: “In hope...”; we are involved in the same hope! This hope is the three greatest things ever. The other 2 things are faith and charity. Understand, this hope is not used in the same context as: I hope it is going to be a nice day. It is not a wishful thinking! This hope is based on a definite promise of God! It is one thing to wish for something and it is an entirely different thing to have something! This “In hope” is something that hasn’t happened yet but with the assurance that it will definitely happen because God cannot lie. In other words, one of these days this eternal life will give us a resurrected eternal body and we will be with Christ in eternity! This hope is not limited; it is a secure promise based on the promise of God that cannot lie and cannot fail! We entered into that hope when we got saved. It was just a simple prayer to ask the Lord to forgive our sin and come into our heart and save our soul. But that simple prayer coupled with our faith in Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection allowed us to enter into this greatest hope ever promised! This year at the Brown County Fair there were many people who prayed that prayer of faith. Some of them came into the tent more because they were tired than they were interested in the story of salvation, but after listening they found that they were indeed interested. Some came only to get a walking stick, but received so much more than a simple stick! The story of Christ and what He did for us is the greatest story ever told and it concludes with: “For whosoever shall call upon the

name of the Lord shall be saved.” God’s promise is secure and it is eternal. Any hope that is based on God’s promise is just as good as the promise itself! According to Hebrews 11:1, faith is the evidence of things not seen. For example, a father who has always kept his promises to his children, has promised his child a bike for his birthday. That child will go and tell his friend that he is going to get a bike. How does he know that he is going to get it? He did not see the bike. But, when his father promised a new bike on his birthday, and dad has always kept his promises before, then that child has every reason to believe that he is going to get it even though it hasn’t happened yet. Right? I never promised my children anything that I couldn’t deliver. I would do everything in my power to keep that promise. Promises are not to be made lightly! I know that sometimes humans break promises due to one reason or another and sometimes it can’t be helped, but, it is the fastest way to make someone lose faith in them; especially if it happens more than once. However, when God makes a promise, He is going to keep it! Nothing will prevent Him from carrying out His promise. Therefore, when Jesus promises eternal life you will receive eternal life! That promise goes back from before the world even began. We think that God can do anything, but there is one thing that He cannot do and that is lie! So rest assured, eternal life means eternal life. That is the “In hope” we can completely trust in; our faith in Him will never be betrayed. There will be no breaking of His promise or taking it back away. In John 10:28 Jesus said: “And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.”

Brown County Pioneers - the Fite Family The Brown County Genealogical Society is reintroducing this column which first appeared in The Brown County Press over 30 years ago. The Society’s goal is to spark reader interest and encourage participation in researching ones family roots at the local level. If you have ever used Ancestry.com or other genealogical search engines, have you wondered where all the Brown County-related information is derived? Much of it comes from primary documents and records maintained at the county government offices and from the extraordinary collection of research materials available at the Brown County Genealogical Society (BCGS) library. This collection includes birth, death, and marriage records, copies of obituaries and newspapers, historical publications, and family histories, to name a

LINKS AND CLUES BROWN COUNTY GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY few sources. Regularly in The Brown County Press, the BCGS will introduce you to a Brown County Pioneer family who may be related to you whether or not your last name is FITE. FITE FAMILY - In 1907, Elizabeth M. S. Fite published a book called The BIBLIOGRAPHICAL AND GENEALOGICAL RECORDS OF THE FITE FAMILIES IN THE UNITED STATES. In this book she describes three brothers who immigrated from Hassel-Cassel, Saxony (Germany) , aboard the ship Ann, to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1749. These brothers were Hans Jacob Vogt, Gilbert

Vogt, and Johannes Vogt. The Vogt name had numerous spelling variations, including Voight, Voit, Fogt, Feit, and Fight. It wasn’t until after the American Revolution that the name became Fite. Early Fite pioneers migrated from Philadelphia to York, Pennsylvania, to Kentucky. Gilbert Fite lived in both Bourbon and Nicholas counties in Kentucky, however, it was his descendants who settled in Brown County, Ohio. According to the Beers Brown County History (1883), “Jacob Fite, founder of the numerous family of that name, came to Ohio and settled in the western quarter of the (Scott) township sometime in the first decade after 1800. He chose a tract of land in the survey of D. Lambert, No. 2421.” Jacob Fite (Abt. 17781865) and his wife, Mary Cotterill, had ten children. They were James, John,

William, Minerva, Jacob Jr., Harriet, Napoleon, Jerome, Joseph, and Charles. At the time of the 1850 census for Ohio, the Fite family was scattered across Scott and Clark townships living among related families named Ralston, Martin, Wallace, Penny, Liming, Ogden, and Brown. The descendants of these early FITE pioneers have populated many areas of Brown County. You could be a FITE and not even know it. COME VISIT US!

ELECTION 2013

Six Georgetown council candidates EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO VOTE ON NOVEMBER 5

“I just felt they needed someone on council who had sufficient experience, age and wisdom to recognize the value of something like that original little Georgetown sign.” Bean also said she feels a sense of accomplishment for helping to put the old gas station property on the square in village hands. Bean said she looked into the issue by calling the former owners and found out that the property was for sale at a greatly reduced price. “I brought it to the attention of one of the members of the village council and they were able to purchase it.” Bean added that she had a vision for the property. “It should become another park to flank the courthouse and join the Grant park on the other side. We could offer restroom facilities, drinking fountains and other comforts.” Kelly Cornette

Cornette responded via email to questions about the accomplishments of the village during her tenure on council and her goals if elected to serve another term on council. “One of our biggest accomplishments for the Village was that we were able to get a merger agreement between the Georgetown Fire Department and EMS”, Cornette wrote. “This will allow for more efficiencies between the two departments and most importantly will lead to better service to our community. Strides have also been made this year to help bring the General Operating Fund to balance so that we are operating in the most solvent manor going forward, and while cut backs were needed, it is important to note this solvency was accomplished without anyone losing their job, which I believe to be the most important factor.” Regarding future goals, Cornette wrote, “More work is needed to secure future grants to help improve sidewalks and overall historic value of the Georgetown Community. We also need to continue to work on creating a Revolving Loan Fund along with the CIC entity to ensure that we have ways of providing future jobs and attractions to businesses looking to come into our community, and most certainly being able to retain and grow the businesses we currently have. And most importantly, we want to

continue to make sure we are operating and using your tax dollars the most efficient way we can!” Sarah Eagan

Eagan is a 2007 graduate of Georgetown and has a Business Management degree from the University of Cincinnati. She was appointed to the Georgetown Village Council in June of 2012. “If I’m elected, one of my main goals is to attract and maintain businesses in the village. We need to strengthen the Georgetown economy and infrastructure.” Eagan said she would also like to see the remaining sidewalks around the square that were not part of the streetscape project be repaired and see further renovation and development in the Cherry and Main street areas of the village. Eagan said one of the biggest challenges facing Georgetown is the village budget. “We’ve kind of had a struggle. That’s one of the main concerns of council, to be able to maintain the staffing levels in the village to maintain the level of service to the residents.” Eagan said that the council did what had to be done to balance the budget. “We trimmed things where we could and tried to be a little creative. We just need to maintain the balancing act of a responsible budget while still maintaining services.” She added that the future success of the village depended on economic development. “We have to be proactive in doing whatever we can to attract new businesses and development”, she said. RaeLena Morrison

Morrison was appointed to village council in January. She said that one of the first things she got involved with was helping residents improve the sidewalks in their neighborhoods. “In the Spring of this past year, we increased a monetary incentive program for repair or replacement for residents of Georgetown”, Morrison said. “We noticed that there were not many takers, so we decided to almost double the reimbursement.” She said the increased reimbursement rate contributed to many more repairs to local sidewalks.

Mt. Orab Parade Committee hard at work, Alma Monk picked as Grand Marshal CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

Lunsford added. “People will donate $25 or $30, $100, even $500 at a time. This is a great community and its residents have always been supportive of the parade. Several years ago we decided to move the parade to evening hours and that has turned out to be a good choice.” Lunsford said the floats are decorated in beautiful Christmas lights which make them exciting for children to watch in the evening hours. “We are very excited this year to have added a fourth marching band,” Lunsford said. “We have invited Hillsboro High School Marching Band to the ones we already have, Eastern, Fayetteville and Western marching bands. We invited Hillsboro, not only because they have a very good marching band but also because their uniforms are red and very festive.” Lunsford said that all the trailers used for the floats are loaned to them by local residents.

“We’re fortunate to have so many double-axel trailers donated,” Lunsford added. “The only problem is, we’d like to get them sooner in the season. So many people are using them right up to the last minute, so we have to wait to get them here. I would like to invite anyone who has a trailer that they could loan the committee earlier we would really appreciate it.”

“I want to strengthen the community, promote job creation and economic progress”, Morrison said. “Since I was appointed to council in January, I have been working to get a Community Improvement Corporation established.” A CIC is a group that can concentrate on community development. “That’s going to be a turning point for Georgetown. It’s really going to promote economic development, which will then in turn promote job creation. That’s really going to help people who live here in Georgetown who may be driving thirty miles for a minimum wage job”, Morrison said. She also said she had another goal in mind if she’s reelected. “I would like to see a more comprehensive and user friendly website for the village. I would like it to be a place where you could go to be connected to the Police Department or to pay your utility bill online.” Morrison said that community events or notices such as boil water alerts or upcoming events could be listed, so residents know what is happening in the village. “When everybody is on the same page, it makes the community stronger”, she said. Arthur Owens

Owens has been a member of the Georgetown Village Council for 12 years. He said that the financial situation for the village has been a concern for much of this year. “We have been able to avoid police layoffs because our general fund is in a crisis now due to state cutbacks. We were able to work with the police department and come up with some cuts to avoid layoffs.” Owens also pointed to the recent decision to merge the Georgetown Fire Department with the village EMS service. “That will better serve the residents of the village and I feel that’s a big accomplishment”, Owens said. Owens then talked about something that he hopes will benefit the village in the future. “We’ve been talking with Rumpke about using the methane gas from the landfill

as an alternative energy source, which would result in a cut of electric bills for residents. It looks like there is a very good chance that will happen and I want to keep working and see that project through.” Owens also said that he would like to see the historical community in Georgetown have a bigger voice. “I would like to form a committee of council to work with the historical committee and identify all the areas that they feel are historical and want to be preserved. We have to work together to balance the past and the future of the town.” Owens also said he would like to see more participation from residents at council meetings. “I would encourage anyone with a concern to attend council meetings and come in and voice their opinions”, Owens said. Zachary Triplett

Triplett is a graduate of Georgetown High School. “I just turned 30 years old and this is something I’ve wanted to do for a while. I’ve always had an interest in politics and wanted to throw my hat in the ring. I think I can do a good job on council.” Triplett said he wants to work to reverse a trend he’s been seeing. “Young families are leaving the town. A lot of the people I graduated with have moved away. They would love to come back, but they can’t because of their jobs and other ties. I think we can get some of these young people back, but it won’t happen overnight. It’s going to take a conscious effort.” Triplett said he feels he can be an effective council member because of his project management and supervisory experience at his job. “I’m in charge of developing logistics and operations around the technology that we put in place”, Triplett said. He added that he wanted to see more debate over decisions at village council meetings. “You hear the word ‘yes’ a lot when you go to a council meeting. There’s not a lot of discussion of stuff. I just think there has to be some open dialogue and discussion.”

to run for council because “time after time, I watched people on council make decisions that were hurried and force decisions through without proper thought and legal council.” She added, “I think it’s important that the residents of the village have a voice in what goes on in their village.” Bishop said she has been frustrated by the divisions she has seen among members of council. “Reasoning is always a good thing. You have to work together. You can’t fight all the time and accomplish anything.” Bishop said that running for council has been difficult at times. “You have to put up with a lot of insults and a lot of character assassination, but you do it because it’s a cause and because you are concerned.” Regarding the water plant, Bishop said, “I have listened to all the information that I can get my hands on. I don’t see anything out there that would discourage us from having our own water plant. The future of the village is at stake in this election.”

municipal building that’s falling apart that costs thousands of dollars to run and I think we just need to look at those issues as well as the water issue.” Cannon said he would be a good fit for council because “I’m an open minded and level headed guy and I have no personal agenda about anything. I’m here for the people.”

statement: “My name is Rajenna Combess, most people know me as Jeanie. I have lived in Aberdeen for over 40 years and feel that the town needs to move forward. It is important to me to seek out what is best for the town, as a whole, I hope you give me that opportunity on November 5th. My husband, Tony and I have lived in Aberdeen along with our two children, Tyler and Jessica. Tony is currently in the labors union and has been for over 5 years. Tyler is a student at Shawnee State University studying to be a Paramedic and Jessica is a junior honor student at Ripley High School. My mother, Delores Lacy Wilson and my father, Ronald Wilson both are from Aberdeen, as well as, my grandparents , Boyd and Ruth Lacy. I owned and operated my own pet grooming business in Aberdeen for over twenty years. After retiring from grooming, I have been pursuing my dream of getting a college degree. I earned my associates degree in Business Management at Maysville Community College and am currently working on my Bachelors in Business, with Western Governor University. My goal for Village Council is to help move the water plant problem forward, which the voters of Aberdeen voted against the building of the water plant and this needs to be addressed and accomplished. Council members need to

attend business meetings and address town business when needed, and stop delaying progress for our town.” Robert Meadows

what is best for the citizens of Ripley. I don’t represent just one little circle of people. You have to balance what’s best for everybody.”

improvements make Ripley a community that our residents can be proud of.” She continued, “My one major goal is to work with our county, district and state representatives to expand the search and attract new businesses to our area and to also promote existing businesses. Small businesses in Ripley are the heart of our economy and we need to do all we can to help them succeed. One of my goals is to keep our utility costs as low as possible and yet maintain the level of service our residents deserve. I have and will always put Ripley first in all of my decisions and hope that you will give me the opportunity to serve you for four more years.”

rently set aside to fund the plant construction. The agreement also states that the village would return 62.5 percent of the estate taxes Mineer owes the village. That amount will be approximately $400,000. The Internal Revenue Service has also paid approximately $200,000 in interest on the bond money as part of a federal stimulus program. While the prospect of having to pay that money back has not been discussed with the IRS, village council members Jay Castle and Jerry Applegate, among others, feel it’s a given that the agency will want to be paid back if the water plant is not built. Since not building the water plant could cost the village approximately one million dollars in lawsuit judgements, IRS reimbursement and lost inheritance tax revenue, each of the candidates were asked their position on construction of the water plant. Candidates and current council members Castle and Applegate are in favor of construction as are new candidates Phyllis Bishop and Robert Meadows. Those against construction are candidate and current council member Jason Phillips and new candidates Rajenna Combess and Bradley Cannon. New candidate Patrick Wilson said he did not wish to comment for this article and did not offer a public position on the water plant construction when asked. The views of the candi-

Jerry Applegate

Applegate said the most important issue facing Aberdeen by far is the financial stability and health of the village. “If we go with another entity for our water, we could lose $400,000 or $500,000 a year, which will really hurt,” Applegate said. He also said that he disagreed with a recent decision to increase sewer rates in the village. “Those rates almost doubled, which I had no part of increasing those rates like that. Those should be adjusted”, he said. He also said that building the water treatment plant was a necessity. “Right now we have a legal signed contract from two years ago with Shinn Brothers. The court has already found in favor of Shinn Brothers. Why should we pay a company for work we’re not getting anything out of?” He also expressed frustration with the water plant issue in general. “The village has been paying for three years for a water plant we don’t have. I don’t know if people understand that, but that’s what we’ve been doing.” Phyllis Bishop

Phyllis Bishop has been attending village council meetings on a regular basis for over two years. She said that she felt compelled

Bradley Cannon, Jr.

Bradley Cannon said that the current conflict and distraction over the water plant also led him to run for council. “For the past few years, we’ve been fighting over water, and there are things that have been overlooked. We’ve got roads that are in bad condition, we have a

Jay Castle

Castle also said that getting village finances under control was an important issue. “When I first got on council we had a projected budget deficit, but we worked and balanced the budget. The a few years later, capital spending got out of control a little bit and we reigned that in. We have to watch every dime we have to make sure it is spent wisely.” Castle also said that getting things done in the village is made more difficult because of personal feelings. “We seem to have a case where one group hates the other and we can’t get anything done because of it. We all need to be independent minded, research the issues and make up our own minds. We can get a lot done if we work together.” Regarding the water plant, Castle said “The voters will end up resolving that issue.” Rajenna Combess Combess responded by e-mail with the following

Meadows responded by fax to the request for information. He said in part, “In the next four years, I would like to see the following improvements completed for the Village of Aberdeen; a water plant to be built and operational streets repaired and new businesses.” Meadows added that he has been a resident of Aberdeen for “30 plus years” and a business owner. He said that the biggest concern for the village is the water issue. “A new water plant would help the village to comply with the EPA requirements. The water income pays for line repairs and to pay employees. A new water plant would sustain these services and jobs for the village.” Jason Phillips

Phillips submitted a fax with the following information; “I am running for council for my family and yours. I have been a resident of Aberdeen for 38 years and I care about our village. I participate and work with the community for the benefit of the village and our children. I believe that morals and character matter. I’d appreciate your vote. I have so much more I’d like to accomplish for our community.”

Five fight for four seats on Ripley village council CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

“I would like to continue the revitalization of downtown. It’s really improved things a lot.” As far as the reason she’s seeking re-election, she said it’s a matter of service to the community. “I just want to do what’s best for Ripley and help the village to keep moving forward. We have to take care of our community and our children.” David Otis

Otis said one of his priorities if he is elected is working on the appearance and image of Ripley. “We need to clean up the village and give it a facelift. We also need to bring some new small businesses to town and keep our utilities

as low as possible.” Otis said that his management experience will help him with the decisions required of a council member. “I’ve been a construction manager for about 25 years. I’ve handled a lot of big jobs for American Electric Power and other big companies, up to several million dollar jobs”, he said. Otis added, “I’m a good family man. I have two children and I know how to get along with people and talk to the public.” Nathan Pfeffer

Pfeffer submitted the following statement by email; “I feel that I have a lot to offer Ripley due to my ex-

perience in municipal government. Ripley should become a destination and not just a stop along the way. The Village council should do whatever it can to bring in new business and keep the ones that we have. I also believe that council should encourage the police to be aggressive in dealing with the growing narcotic problem in the area.” Charles Poole

Poole has been a Ripley Village Council member for 12 years. He said that he’s most proud of the infrastructure improvements that the village has been able to accomplish. “We’ve been able to replace and update the infrastructure along Front Street

and Main Street by leveraging federal and state money so it would cost us less”, he said. Moving forward, Poole said unemployment in the area is his biggest concern. “Ripley is struggling for jobs. I would like to be able to bring some kind of jobs to Ripley for the younger generation so they won’t move away”, Poole said. “Most small villages, especially along the river, are struggling. We’re seeing the same problems the rest of the country is seeing. Jobs are our number one concern.” Poole also said that he tries to be fair in his decision making on council. “I try to view every issue that comes before council and make a decision about

Roberta Sidwell

Sidwell is a current village council member. She submitted the following information via fax; “The accomplishments that I have had a voice in over the past years as a Ripley council member are many. The ones I am most proud of are the beautification of Front Street, new sewer and water treatment plants, and annexation of the east end of Ripley and the first three phases of our downtown revitalization. The fourth and final phase will be done in the Spring of 2014. These continuing

The Truth About Bloodwork Have you ever wondered why your veterinarian recommends bloodwork on your pet if they aren't showing signs of illness? This article is designed to demystify that recommendation and help you better understand how important lab work is to our cherished pets. Pets, unlike most humans, are masters at hiding signs of illness for long periods of time. There are many reasons for this beginning with the solid fact that they cannot talk to us, and communicate things when they are minor. Also, animals that appear weakest are attacked first by predators, so in order to survive, animals mask their weakness/illness. Because animals mask their pain/sickness so well, a seemingly healthy pet could be hiding a deadly disease. We know from human medicine that early detection/diagnosis is often the key to survival. Bloodwork plays a huge part in the early detection of disease. Blood values often change slowly over time when diseases are just beginning. Kidney function is an excellent model of this behavior. Cats don't typically show outward signs of kidney disease until they have only around 30% of their kidney function remaining. Often one blood panel can't tell the whole story, as a cat or dog may have kidney disease but their kidney values can be in the normal range. What that one blood panel can't tell you is that 6 months ago, the values were lower than this time. And 6 months from now they will be

higher. This change over time can help diagnose kidney disease before losing 70% kidney function. With multiple bloodpanels we can evaluate trending, and diagnose disease much earlier; leading to, a longer, happier life. Many times a diet change can prevent a disease from becoming a chronic condition. Bloodwork can also show what pets hide so well. Blood panels combined with urinalysis are extremely effective at early disease detection. At All Creatures we utilize a blood panel that also

includes a thyroid level, giving us a very good picture of your pet's overall health. Concerned that bloodwork is too expensive? Consider signing up for a pet wellness plan. At All Creatures, you can customize the plan to include yearly, or biannual blood panels along with your pet's required vaccinations, examinations and diagnostics. This can then be a convenient monthly payment instead of a large out of pocket expense. Still have questions about whether or not your pet needs bloodwork? Chances are, he does!

The program took place in the Georgetown and Peebles Head Start Centers. The purpose behind the program was to encourage families with pre-schoolers to get more regular physical activity as a family. Regular exercise is known to prevent childhood obesity and Type 2 diabetes. The six-week program asked families of the Head Start students to take a “virtual” walk to Disney World. Each participating family received a step counter and a log to keep track of its family walking activities. Each week, the children mapped their progress at the Head Start Centers to illustrate the distance they traveled toward Disney World. The children also received weekly incentives to encourage them to keep walking. The program proved to be a big success with 37 families participating. At the end of the program, the two Head Start Centers each celebrated with a Disney-themed party, complete with visits from Mickey and Minnie themselves! Each child re-

ceived a lunch cooler bag with several healthy snacks and an authentic Mickey Mouse Ears hat, as well as a photo of himself or herself taken with Mickey. Families who turned in walking logs showing activity for at least five of the six weeks received a special prize. Finally, each of the two Head Start Centers had a Grand Prize drawing for its eligible families-- six tickets to the Disney Live Show at the U.S. Bank Arena in downtown Cincinnati. Families were asked to complete short pre- and post-program parent surveys. Nearly 75% of the families reported on the post-program survey that their children enrolled in Head Start had a family history of diabetes (i.e. having a parent, grandparent, sister, and/or brother with diabetes). Three-fourths of the 37 participating families reported that during the WWMM Program, they had either walked as a family for at least 30 minutes on 3 or more days per week (44% said that they had walked on 5 or more days per week—and the number of involved families who reported that they walked on 5 or more days per week for at least one month more than doubled from pre-to post-program surveys). Nine out of every ten families indicated that they were either “pretty likely” or “very likely” to continue

with walking/exercising as a family now that the WWMM Program was finished. Although the Walking with Mickey and Minnie Program was completed last fall, it brought positive effects to the AdamsBrown Head Start Program which will continue on for years to come. The Head Start Program also developed a physical activity policy to increase the amount of exercise which the children get on a daily basis at all of the Head Start Centers in Adams and Brown Counties! The Adams-Brown Diabetes Education Coalition is supported in part with a Together on Diabetes grant from the Appalachian Diabetes Control and Translation Project (ADCTP). The ADCTP is a partnership supported by the Appalachian Regional Commission, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the BristolMyers Squibb Foundation, with the collaboration of the thirteen Appalachian states. It is managed by the Center for Rural Health at Marshall University. Together on Diabetes is a national program of the Squibb Foundation to improve the health outcomes of people living with type 2 diabetes. Funds from Together on Diabetes supported the Walking With Mickey and Minnie Program.

Broncos poised to finish the regular season 10-0 BY Brandon Barb The Brown County Press Last year the Broncos

Western Brown sophomore wide receiver Eean Hornung (17) had 223 receiving yards and two touchdowns against the Batavia Bulldogs Oct. 25. The Broncos need to get by Norwood to finish 10-0 during the regular season.

down and one to go. "It was an exciting win," Western Brown Head Coach Evan Dreyer said. “It was one of those nights where it was exciting to get back home after being on the road for five weeks. Our kids played great, I’m happy for them. They had a great week of practice and were prepared very well.” Dreyer continued, “We wanted to get back to physical football, and make sure not one player was going to beat us and not turn the ball over on defense. Those little things go a long way, and it showed in the way we played.” It was a big win for the senior Broncos looking to redeem themselves from last season. "This was one of the big ones we circled at the start of the year," Western Brown senior quarterback Devyn Wood said. “We wanted to dominate and by the looks of the scoreboard we did.” The Broncos only have to get by the Norwood Indians to make it a perfect 10-0 season and to clinch the Southern Buckeye Athletic Conference, which shouldn't be a challenge for the Broncos, who have been clicking on both offense and defense.

"We’re just going to take that game the best we can and go at it with all the intensity we can," Wood said. Against the Bulldogs, Wood returned from his shoulder injury that took him out of the Amelia game. Though his arm was a bit rusty, Wood still threw for 432 yards and six touchdowns. “His arm strength needs to get back to normal but he didn’t turn the ball over and he played smart,” Dreyer said. Wood's most frequent targets were senior Jarred Haggerty and sophomore Eean Hornung. Haggerty caught eight passes for 96 yards and three touchdowns. Hornung had eight receptions for 223 yards and two touchdowns. Junior Christian Dawson had 60 yards on four receptions and one touchdown as well. "With the injury I probably could have played through it, but we decided Eli [Crall] could do just a good a job as I could playing hurt," Wood said. “We still have our miscues but we played great.” Defensively, the Broncos have been playing tough. Against the Bulldogs, junior Chaz Patten intercepted one pass and returned it for a touch-

down. The Bulldogs were also kept out of the end zone for most of the game, until the Bronco junior varsity players took over while Batavia kept their starters in. "Our defense put in the most work out of anyone. Day in and day out they are improving. They are an essential part of our team and if they play well, their energy flows throughout the whole team," Wood said. As the season comes to a close Dreyer is just looking to have his players focus on the fundamentals before thinking about making it to the playoffs. “I’m just going to look at the film and prepare, and try to get a game plan together to win the next week,” he said. Wood and his fellow seniors are ready for Norwood, feeling the way they’ve been playing now can produce that 10 win season. The 5-4 Norwood Indians head to Western Brown Nov. 1. The Broncos have the chance to win the league and head into the playoffs with a win. The Broncos are currently ranked 5th in Region 10.

Rocket football continues winning streak with shutout BY Sabrina Mignerey The Brown County Press The Fayetteville-Perry Rockets football team trumped the visiting Landmark Christian Eagles, 36-0 on Oct. 25. Improving to 62 on the season and furthering their winning streak to four games. The Rockets boast back to back shutouts, with their victory against Horizon Science Academy on Oct. 18, with a score of 68-0. Their goal is to do their best every single week, and to keep improving. Fayetteville Head Coach Nathan Geers said, "The offense looked weak in the beginning with a few turnovers, but they got stronger as the game went on." Fayetteville sophomore Caleb Dowers ran for 110 yards, with two touch-

downs. Senior Andrew Dowers rushed for 30 yards with one touchdown, and caught one pass for 45 yards. Senior Jacob Laney added 42 yards and a touchdown to the Rocket's total. Defensively, senior Cody Shaw made 5 solo tackles and assisted on 10 more. Freshman Tyler King intercepted a pass, giving him three on the year – as a team Fayetteville has 15 interceptions this season. The Rockets are hopeful to play beyond week ten, in which the top eight teams will move on to the playoffs. The Rockets are currently ranked 10th in Region 22. In their next game, the Rockets will battle the Batavia Bulldogs in a nonleague game, on Friday, Nov. 1.

The Rocket football team put together their second shutout and fourth straight win on Oct. 25.

After the varsity team won their first sectional championship in school history, and the junior varsity finishing 20-0 on the year, the FayettevillePerry Lady Rocket volleyball team was ready to put another first under their belt. The Lady Rockets were in the Southwest District Championship -- Division IV -- Oct. 26, and they were faced with their toughest challenge all year in the form of the Ft. Loramie Redskins. Fayetteville had a rough time getting their offense on track against the Redskins. The match

was over in three sets; 256, 25-13, 25-18, with Ft. Loramie coming out on top. The Lady Rockets still brought home the District Runner-up trophy though. “We tried. The first game we were like deer in the headlights but we picked it up and improved each and every time,” Fayetteville Head Coach Sharon Sheets said. “They didn’t give up and that’s all I could of asked for.” The Lady Rockets finished their season 21-3 and were able to advance beyond sectionals after losing in the championship game twice before. “Winning sectionals for the first time was crazy,” Fayetteville senior Gabby

Valentine said. “Its been fun and probably our best season yet.” Valentine led the Lady Rockets with four kills and 20 attacks against Ft. Loramie. Fayetteville Senior Claire Carson had three kills and 19 attacks, while fellow senior Sydney Sheets added 11 assists to her career total. “We played well throughout the year, but this one was rough. We still had fun with it [though],” Valentine said. The Lady Rockets hadn’t played a against team like Ft. Loramie before, not even during the sectional tournament. “It was just hard to come across taller girls who were hitting quicker

on the net,” Sheets said. “We don’t normally play against that, but we adjusted well after the first game.” During the last huddle of the match, Sheets just told the girls she was proud of them. “It was one of their goals to get to this point, and I’m happy for them. They worked very hard this season,” she said. “When I first started coaching at the high school, the main goal was to turn the program around and that took three, four years to get that winning season. To get to this level is just a dream.”

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

While most crops do well with above normal rainfall, wine grapes do not. The last two years have been subpar years. However, there are still some high quality wines that will be produced right here locally. Over the past 10 -20 years there have been several vineyards started locally, some have wineries and some do not. In some cases those who produce the grapes sell their grapes to those who do have wineries. With that in mind, it will not be long until the Annual Barrel Tasting. The Annual Barrel Tasting will take place on November 30. This annual event always takes place the Saturday after Thanksgiving. There will be opportunities to taste several locally produced wines during the day that includes several of the local wineries. For more information and details, includ-

ing times and directions, you can go the Kinkead Ridge Winery at www.kinkeadridge.com or call (937) 392-1178. You can also contact MerandaNixon Winery at http://meranda-nixonwinery.com/ or call (937) 3924654. Local Soybean Plots Soybean harvest is well underway, with most farmers reporting that they are over 50% done, while some are finished. Included in the completed harvest are some of the OSU Extension plots that were grown at various farms in Adams, Brown and Highland Counties. I should have that data in the very near future. Dates to Remember November 16 - Chainsaw Safety Program at Hocking Technical College. This class will be hands-on training taught by staff at Hocking Tech. For more information you may contact Dave Apsley with OSU Extension at apsely.1@osu.edu or call him at 740-710-3009. You may also check out the website at http://go.osu.edu/seohiowoods

Free OSHIIP “Medicare Check-up” event coming to Adams County Event Nov. 6 at Adams County Senior Citizens, Inc. in West Union

Lieutenant Governor and Department of Insurance Director Mary Taylor announced the Department’s Ohio Senior Health Insurance Information Program (OSHIIP) will hold a free appointment-only Medicare Check-up event on Nov. 6 at 10 a.m. at Adams County Senior Citizens, Inc. The facility is located at 210 N. Wilson Drive Suite 101 in West Union. To make an appointment call 1-800-5827277. The event is intended to help people review Medicare changes and determine coverage for 2014. It coincides with Medicare’s Oct. 15 to Dec. 7 annual enrollment period. OSHIIP helped nearly 40,000 Ohioans save an OSHIIP record $5.5 million during last year’s annual enrollment period. So far in 2013 OSHIIP saved Ohioans with Medicare $9 million. “Understanding the many different types of

Medicare coverage can be complicated,” Taylor said. “Fortunately the Department’s staff can help consumers identify the coverage that best meets their unique needs.” OSHIIP is Medicare’s designated and impartial educational program in Ohio for beneficiaries, family members and health care professionals. Taylor urges Ohioans to call OSHIIP at 1-800-686-1578 with their Medicare questions and for enrollment assistance. A Medicare Check-up and Annual Enrollment Toolkit is available at www.insurance.ohio.gov< http://www.insurance.ohio. gov>. The toolkit includes a plans listing, Check-up events schedule, and more. Ohioans can also visit OSHIIP on Facebook. Taylor said when reviewing options, people should ensure a plan’s list of covered drugs includes their needed prescriptions and to consider the convenience of having pharmacies in their network near where they live. It’s also important to take into account all out-of-pocket expenses before making a

decision. Topics of discussion at the event include recent changes to Medicare such as the new Medicare deductibles, co-pay, and coinsurance amounts, Medicare Advantage and Part D plan options for 2014, as well as available financial assistance programs. Attendees should bring their list of prescriptions drugs with dosages and preferred pharmacy, information on retirement coverage and Veteran’s Administration (VA) or other medical care benefits they receive.

On a large touch screen, a host of options are available for visitors to explore the life and accomplishments of each recipient. While countless Ohioans have performed great actions for their community and beyond, only a select few have been named a “Great Ohioan.” The exhibit allows visitors to have a greater understanding of the recipients of the Great Ohioan award and discover how they affected local, national and world history. The exhibit uses video, photos and web based technology to explore the life and legacy of each Great Ohioan. The Capitol Square Foundation has raised more than $5 million in private donations for the new museum and enhanced education programming at the Ohio Statehouse.

Animal Traceability Program On October 22 there was a program outlining some of the requirements for livestock crossing state lines held at the Union Stockyards in Hillsboro. This deals with all dairy cattle, breeding livestock in beef cattle, and of course there are several exemptions. This is something that everyone who may take cattle across state lines needs to be aware of. If you missed the program, you still have an opportunity close to home. The United Producers Stockyards will be hosting the program this Friday night on November 1, beginning at 6:30 p.m. Local Vineyards and Wineries While soybean and corn harvest is still days or weeks from being completed, the local vineyards have pretty much completed their harvest. While we can talk about 200 plus bushels of corn, and 50, 60, 70 or even in some cases 80 plus bushel for soybeans, the vineyards will not look back at 2013 with the same fond memories.

The OHSAA Regional Cross Country Championships were held on Oct. 26 at Pickerington North High School, and while one Southern Hills Athletic Conference team made it to state -- Fairfield boys -- it was a disappointing day for the Eastern Warrior runners. “My two top guys didn’t have their best race. The weather wasn’t very good but everyone else had to run in it too," Eastern Head Coach Tom Glasscock said. “As a team we did better than what we have in the past, we finished 10th overall.” Glasscock admitted there wasn't a good chance of advancing beyond the regional meet as a team but he believed a few of his runners had a good chance individually -- chief among them, senior Layne Pickerill. Pickerill missed the opportunity to run in the state meet last year, and

hopes were high for that to change this time. Unfortunately, Pickerill finished 24th individually with a time of 17:35.64. "They gave it all they had but they just didn’t have it," Glasscock said. “Sometimes you’re not ‘on’ and to have both my top guys like that was a bad thing.” Glasscock continued, “We just have to go back and reevaluate our training and go for next year.” Eastern freshman Blake Rigdon came in with a time of 17:59.01, putting him in the 36th position. "[Blake] is an upcoming star," Glasscock said. “I can’t wait for next year to get another attempt at this. It left a big hole in my heart too.” Two of the Lady Warrior runners had a shot at advancing, but it was an off day for every Warrior. Junior Alyssa Taylor was 36th with a time of 21:15.99. Sophomore Rebekah Ellis finished 56th with a time of 21:59.68. “I’m looking forward to

having Alyssa and Rebekah back next year. I think Rebekah will improve a lot and you just never know, she might be my number one runner next year. She’s just a sophomore so I hope she has a good junior, senior season.” With the season over and thoughts moving towards what to do for next year, Glasscock is hoping the success of the team will help garner more interest for the team. “Maybe we can improve the team much more,” he said. “You learn every year, sometimes too late, so I’m going to try some other stuff I didn’t this year. All in all I can’t complain too much. I was disappointed those two boys didn’t make it to state but they ran their hearts out. I’m proud of all of them.”
