Veterans honored at Western Brown BY Wayne Gates Veterans of military service were the center of attention at Western Brown High School on Veteran’s Day, November 11. The school’s FFA and JROTC programs combined to put on a program of celebration and respect for local veterans and their families. About 100 veterans and family members attended the ceremony along with Western Brown students and staff. The ceremony included the posting of the colors by the Western Brown JROTC and singing performances by the Western Brown choir. Western Brown Superintendent Raegan White also spoke at the ceremony, talking to those assembled about one of the hardest jobs in the military...that of the officers who must notify family members when a service member has been killed in action. He revealed that his brother-in-law had to fulfill
that duty while in the Army. Following the reading of a proclamation on Veteran’s Day from President Barack Obama. the choir performed “The Battle Hymn of the Republic” and then sang each of the service themes. Veterans of those services stood up during the performance of their anthem, many of them saluting the flag. Next to speak was United States Marine Corps Veteran and Mt. Orab Police Officer Reggie McKenzie. McKenzie serves as a resource officer for the high school and received a long ovation as he walked to the podium. “Many heroes are joining us today,” McKenzie told the crowd, “and many of them are here only in spirit.” He then asked assembled veterans to stand and receive applause and then did something that happens more rarely at Veteran’s Day ceremonies. “I’d like to have the family members of any service
member to please stand,” McKenzie said. As members of the audience began to rise from their seats, several high school students got to their feet as well. Looking around the gymnasium it was clear that many students had family members that are veterans or currently serving in the armed forces. McKenzie then told the students about growing up in Ripley and seeing World War II veterans around town serving as farmers, teachers or bus drivers. He said that people like that inspired him to serve his country. “To a skinny red-headed bespectacled bookworm, they were larger than life,” McKenzie said. State Representative Doug Green then sang “God Bless the USA” while local service members pictures were shown to the assembly. Western Brown Athletic CONTINUED ON PAGE 9

Judge asked to approve sale of hospital property BY Wayne Gates The Receiver for the former Southwest Regional Medical Center is asking for approval to sell the contents of the building to Oglethorpe, Inc. for $60,000. A motion was filed in Brown County Common Please Court on Nov. 14 asking Judge Scott Gusweiler to approve the sale. The property includes everything except medical records, business records, computers or software. Receiver New Growth Advisors had originally
asked Gusweiler last August to approve an auction of the contents, but the judge declined to do so at that time. The motion reads in part, “By granting this motion, the Court will enable the receiver to maximize the potential recovery for creditors of Southwest Healthcare.” The motion asks that Gusweiler approve the sale “free and clear of all liens, claims and encumberances.” The motion also points out that “By selling the Property to the Purchaser, the Receiver eliminates any moving costs and logistics, which would likely signifi-
cantly affect the purchase price and/or the costs incurred by the Receiver if the Property was sold to a party other than the Purchaser.” Gusweiler has not yet ruled on the motion. The judge did approve the sale of the hospital property to Oglethorpe for $1.2 million on October 4. The company plans to spend the next six to nine months working on the facility and plans operate a 60100 bed behavioral health facility at the site. Once open the facility is expected to employ up to 250 people.

Thanksgiving lessons and financial plans Thanksgiving is almost here. Over the years, this holiday has taken on a variety of meanings, most of them centered on family, caring and sharing. You can carry these same values past Thanksgiving into your daily life – and you can certainly incorporate them into your financial strategies for taking care of your loved ones. So, here are a few suggestions: Protect your family. If something were to happen to you, could your family pay the mortgage? Could your children still afford to go to college someday? To protect your family’s current lifestyle and long-term goals, you may well need to maintain adequate life and disability insurance. Your employer may offer these types of protection as employee benefits, but the coverage might be insufficient for your needs. Consequently, you might need to supplement your employer-paid insurance with additional policies. Invest in your children. If you have young children, and you’d like to see them go to college someday, you may want to start putting money away toward that goal. You can save and invest for college in a variety of ways, but one popular method is through a 529 plan, which offers high contribution limits and potential tax advantages. Plus, a 529 plan gives you significant control and flexibility: – if you establish a plan for one child, but he or she decides not to go to college, you can name another child as the recipient. Be generous. You don’t have to be a millionaire to make meaningful financial gifts to your family. For example, if you have grown children, consider helping them fund their IRAs. You can’t contribute directly to a child’s IRA, but you can write checks to your children for that purpose – though, of course, they are then free to do whatever they want with the money. It’s not always easy for a young person to “max out” on an IRA, which has an annual contribution limit of $5,500 for workers under 50, so any help you can give your children in this area should be
EDWARD JONES FINANCIAL ADVISOR
NICK GRAY greatly appreciated. Safeguard your own financial independence. Almost certainly, one of the most undesirable outcomes you can imagine is to become financially dependent on your grown children. Even if you save and invest diligently throughout your working years, you could still be vulnerable to financial dependency if you need an extensive period of longterm care, such as a nursing home stay. These costs can be enormous, and Medicare typically pays only a small percentage, and usually for just a limited time. To protect your financial freedom, you should explore ways of addressing long-term care
Reflecting on the first Thanksgiving Most women this week will be heading to the supermarket to buy the traditional turkey that will be slow roasting in the oven on Thanksgiving morning—the most traveled time of the year. I must admit, there is no better smell than the turkey cooking all morning permeating the air! As a child our farmhouse kitchen was hustling with Mom’s early morning preparation of timing the turkey to be pulled out of the oven right at one o’clock; our traditional eating time. “It’s ready,” the word went out. One year, thirty-nine of us packed the farmhouse kitchen bowing our heads as Grandpa Fender began to pray the traditional prayer of thanksgiving. Last week, you read about my trip to Plymouth Rock the home of the traditional Thanksgiving. I don’t know what I thought the new settlement looked like but it sure did take me by surprise. It was built high on a sandy hillside. A

costs. A financial professional can explain those alternatives that may be appropriate for your situation. Communicate your wishes to your family. At some point in your life, you will need to draw up your estate plans, which could include a will, a living trust, a durable power of attorney, a health care directive and other documents. To be fair to your children and other family members, and to avoid hurt feelings, you should clearly communicate your plans and your wishes while you are still around. Thanksgiving means more than turkey and football. And if you can successfully apply the lessons of this holiday to your financial plans, both you and your family will have reason to be thankful.

We intend to improve and promote our school district by integrating GEVS with our community. Our hope is to earn the public’s understanding and support.

SHERRY MITCHELL TAKE JOY, A FARMHOUSE JOURNAL common path with wooden structures on each side. All I could think of was, “Oh my! if they have a torrential rain, those at the bottom will be hit with a tidal wave. I don’t think they thought this through.” We were told they built on the hillside in order to watch the sea’s ship traffic, others coming to their New England, or worse, pirates that were full of evil. The small dirt floor structures had few windows and smelled of wood smoke. I was amazed to learn, that in just ten months after arriving, they had built seven houses, a meeting place and several storehouses for the food they raised for winter rations. There was a community fenced garden spot and a designated place for
butchering. Truly, they worked as a community for the greater good, to eat, survive, and worship freely. (Simplicity at its best.) You know, rarely did anyone survive pneumonia back in the day. Dysentery killed. We can certainly be thankful for modern medicine. The Indians, on the other hand, did not live in tepees as the pictures we conjure up in our minds. The homes of the Wampanoag tribe lived in portable huts called wetu being a long structure, covered in bark or grass, usually having three fire pits. We visualize them better when described as wigwams. Food was always being cooked over an open fire using only the ingredients that were available in the 1600s. Mostly duck, seafood, cabbage, onions, corn and squash. The Indians’ favorite was venison. No turkey or cranberry sauce was recorded at that time. What I learned from that
trip makes me pause on Thanksgiving now more so than ever, being truly more thankful than I already thought I was. They endured such hardships to make things better not only for them, but for future generations which now includes us. So, when my oven basted turkey permeates the air on Thursday, I will be thinking of how darn thankful I am to be living in America because of those brave Pilgrims who paved the way. And sadly, though I won’t have thirtynine to fill my farmhouse kitchen, I am so extremely grateful for the gift of time as sister Debbie will be sharing another one with us. And to those not here anymore, I know they’ll be here in spirit, for they live on through each one of us. From my farmhouse to yours...many blessings.

Taking A Trip Through Time
Hello Everyone, I would like to take a moment to introduce myself. My name is Tania Loudon, and I have recently been given the opportunity to take on the roll as the new Marketing/Communications Liaison for Georgetown Exempted Village Schools. I am extremely excited about this opportunity, as I have had the unique ability over the last three years, to witness many sides of our education spectrum: as a parent, as a community member, and as a long-term substitute teacher for our district. I was raised in Georgetown, and graduated from Georgetown Jr.-Sr. High School in 1998. After high school, I went on to further my education at Miami University, Oxford, where I earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Business/Administration, with a focus on Marketing and Statistics. Before I became a mother to 3 beautiful children, I excelled at a career in corporate insurance. I managed insurance coverage for Procter & Gamble’s advertising departments in the United States and Western Europe. My husband and I decided to leave the city, and move back to our home town about 5 years ago. We did so, to be closer to family and friends, but more importantly, because we wanted our children to be able to experience the same sense of love and belonging that we did growing up in our community. Hands down, one of the best decisions we have ever made! We currently have a son in second grade, a daughter in first grade, and our youngest daughter will begin kindergarten at Georgetown Elementary next fall. My husband coaches the Georgetown High School boy’s soccer team, and I substitute teach

November is National Hospice, Palliative Care Month

BY Martha B. Jacob The staff of Hospice of Hope in Mt. Orab recently kicked off National Hospice and Palliative Care Month which is celebrated the month of November. “We want to raise awareness about the high quality of care Hospice offers for all
people coping with life-limiting illness,” said Erin Richmond, Ohio Provider Relations Specialist in the Mt. Orab Office. J. Donald Schumacher is president and CEO of the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization. He commented, “Every year, nearly 1.6 million people living with
a life-limiting illness receive care from hospice and palliative care providers in this country.” He continued, “These highly-trained professionals ensure that patients and families find dignity, respect and love during life’s most difficult journey.” Richmond stated that Hos-

pice is not a place...it is a care program that provides pain management, symptom control, psychosocial support and spiritual care to patients and the families when a cure is not possible. “Sadly, some people think Hospice care is only called on at the very end of life,” Richmond said, “but that isn’t always the way it is. We’ve had some people with us for two or three years. It’s our responsibility to make them comfortable.” Hospice and palliative care combines the highest level of quality medical care with the emotional and spiritual support that families need most when facing the end of life. Richmond expressed her gratitude to area resident Gary Keuffer, one of the veteran volunteers for Hospice of Hope. “I became a hospice volunteer after experiencing the care Hospice of Hope provided for my wife during her end stages of life. “I often tell the hospice staff that I owe them a debt I cannot repay. I felt an obligation to volunteer and help those going through what I had experienced. Hospice professionals provide the highest quality of medical care when people need it most.” Richmond said that throughout the month of November Hospice of Hope will be joining organizations across the nation hosting activities that will help the community understand how important hospice and palliative care can be. For more information about hospice, palliative care and advance care planning is available from Hospice of Hope by calling 1-800-9284848 to make a referral or learn more about the program.

With livestock markets all only a shadow of what they were a year to 18 months ago there is even more of a need to do the best management that you can. One aspect of good management is controlling parasites that can impact the health and production of your livestock. Lice can be a problem that causes several issues when it comes to livestock. The animals will often rub on fences, gates, buildings, trees or whatever else they can find. This rubbing can cause damage particularly fences and in some cases buildings. The structures are one problem, but the additional feed that the animal takes in cost you money, but in the end is basically feeding the parasites. The following is from a veterinarian with Zoetis and it appeared in a recent Beef Blog. There are some useful tips throughout, but the bottom line is you need to make the application. This is directed toward beef cattle, but most of the tips are not beef specific. There are several products that will control lice, and if you have not already done so, it is time to get it done. Lice are a common annoyance to cattle, especially in winter months. “Cattle producers and their herds experience more lice problems during the wintertime, by far,” said Jon Seeger, DVM, managing veterinarian with Zoetis. “Now is the time to treat cattle for lice.” If cattle are rubbing, biting or scratching with irritation at their neck, shoulders or rump and/or have hair loss in those areas, they could have lice. Lice rob energy from cattle,
DAVID DUGAN OSU EXTENSION AND EDUCATOR
which can result in anemia, slowed disease recovery and decreased weight gain during infestation. Sucking lice: With relatively small, narrow heads designed to pierce the skin and suck blood, sucking lice can cause anemia, with production loss in heavy infestations. Sucking lice can do serious damage in large numbers and even kill
young calves. Biting or chewing lice: With larger, rounder heads, biting lice feed on skin debris, scabs and blood. Chewing lice do not cause a direct production loss. This biting insect causes severe irritation and discomfort to cattle. Cattle may experience such irritation that they could damage working facilities, fences, trees and feed bunks, using them as rubbing posts for some relief. Their coats may appear rough, with patches of hair loss. The eggs of both lice types cling to the hair and hatch within 14 days.
Adults live up to 28 days, with females laying an average of one egg per day. Treat cattle for lice during the fall months, beginning in October, as populations are growing. Administer DECTOMAX Pour On to aid in controlling both biting and sucking lice. Consider a follow-up treatment two to three weeks later to allow time for any eggs to hatch but not mature into adults. Assume lice are present upon receiving a load of cattle. Treat and quarantine the group. Move cattle to a different pasture to avoid any commingling over the
fence with untreated cattle, as lice are easily spread. This was written by Zoetis, and is useful information. However, I need to point out there are several pour-on products that are labeled to control both biting and sucking lice. Remember the first treatment will kill the lice, but the eggs may survive. For better control a second application is most likely key to getting good control. Control for Problem Weeds I touched on this subject a few weeks ago, but thought it was worth a reminder. Most of the crop is
harvested and we continue to have some good temperatures for spot spraying some of the problem weeds. The frost over the past week ended the growing season for many things, but not Poison Hemlock. The use of a broadleaf selective like 2,4D or Crossbow in the next few weeks can be effective in controlling this weed that has already had some significant growth and is dark green and easy to find if you know about where that patch was last year. If you get close, you will find it.
Hamersville athletes promote reading The Second and Seven Foundation, organized by former Ohio State football players Luke Fickell, Ryan Miller and Mike Vrabel, has recently partnered with Hamersville School to deliver free books to second graders with a goal of fostering a love of reading. The foundation designed a series of books with interesting characters known as the Hog Mollies, whose goal is to teach life lessons that will help students grow up to be great citizens. A large part of the delivery has to do with outstanding athletic role models who read the stories to the students before giving them a copy to keep. Five top-notch eighth grade volleyball players
were chosen to work with the students this year: Pashience Hughes, Abby Roberts, Lanie Clark, Ellie Hirons, and Reagan Votel. Second grade teachers, Debra Adkins, Cindy Donathan, and Angela Walters, were motivated to see their students’ excitement over gaining a forever book with a fun message and the beginning of a relationship with such positive role models. The kids can’t wait to receive their next shipment of books and spend more time with the eighth graders!

a farm. All three properties were located on White Oak Creek just west of Georgetown, and each one included a mill. The two daughters, Violet and Molly, were given dowries. James, the oldest son, received what has become known as the Armleder home and a mill which was just across the road. William’s property included the Tunnel Mill, which still stands next to S.R. 221. John was the youngest and his land was between the properties given to James and William, with a mill which stood on the south side of the creek below Buttermilk Falls and the (now abandoned) road up Bald Point Hill. In about 1852 John Thompson built this impressive Greek Revival home on a hill overlooking White Oak Valley. When Ken and Judy Klosterman purchased the home their vision for the property included a second level on the west wing to balance the two-story east wing, and a large kitchen addition in the rear. Months of planning were required before the final architectural drawings were completed and construction work could begin. The original structure has been meticulously restored and both additions were executed with painstaking care to perfectly match the original structure. The result is undoubtedly one of the finest homes in southern Ohio. Judy Klosterman died on

SOUND DOCTRINE The book of Titus was written by the Apostle Paul to Titus because he was to become the Pastor in Crete. God used Paul to make sure that Titus knew what to do when he got there. Let's begin in chapter 1 and verse 2, "In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began; But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God our Saviour;" God has chosen the vehicle of preaching to manifest His word. In verse 9 he says, "Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught..." God was telling Titus, through Paul, that he was to hold fast the faithful word. Aren't you glad that the Word of God is faithful, that the Word of God is truth? It is faithful even when we are not. That is why preachers are to hold fast to it. It says, "...as he hath been taught..." A preacher should not be self flung, so to speak. He should not be a greenhorn preaching his own opinion. He should be preaching the faithful Word of God. Titus was taught sound doctrine by Paul and Paul was telling him not to depart from it. Verse 9 goes on to say,=, "...that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers." To gainsay means to deny, dispute, or contradict. It means to speak, act against, or to oppose. The Word of God is sound doctrine and God wants sound doctrine preached, not philosophy, science, or psychology. When people come to the house of God to hear the Word of God, then it is to be preached from the Word of God, which is the Bible. There are churches all over America today where the preacher will get behind the pulpit and never open the Bible! How are they to convince the gainsayers or even to exhort the people? If I did not have a Bible to preach from, I would have nothing to say to the people in a Sunday or Wednesday service. Go with me to chapter 2 and verse 1, "But speak thou
REV. TED R. HOUSE BIBLE BAPTIST CHURCH MT. ORAB www.bbcmtorab.com the things which become sound doctrine:" That is all that should be taught from the pulpit and in the Sunday school classes. Sound doctrine is the gospel of Christ, the Trinity, the Holy Ghost, the end time; for example. Look what God has to say in verse 2 of chapter 2 and clear through to the end of the book of Titus! I want you to see that if you believe sound doctrine it will produce a sound life! The two cannot be separated. Sound doctrine produces sound living. Verse 2 says, "That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience." Aged men need to live a certain way. What you believe about the Bible should affect the way you live, aged men! Verses 3-5 say, "The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed." You might ask, "That's doctrine?" Yes, it is. The elder women of the church should be teaching the younger women how to live a productive life according to the Bible! Do young women need to be taught to love their husbands and children? Yes, they do. And there is even more. It also speaks about young men, employers and employees! Sound living is produced by sound doctrine which should be preached from the pulpit by preachers all over this world.

Veterans honored CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Director Tim Cook also spoke briefly, telling the assembly about the newly established Western Brown Veteran’s Wall of Honor. Cook said that any veterans who have attended the Western Brown school system or who are employees are invited to participate by submitting an 8X10 picture and ten dollars to cover the cost of the frame. Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 9772 presented Cook with a $500 check to help cover the cost of the display. Following the ceremony, Western Brown FFA President Samuel Gibson said “It makes me feel really good to see all the veterans here
and think about everything they have done for this country.” FFA Reporter Katie Durbin agreed. “I think it’s really eye opening to see how many local people are veterans or have veterans in their families. I think it’s really good that everyone comes out and supports them. White said that he was proud of the way the students behaved. “You can see that there is a lot of pride in the community and a lot of respect for the people that have served from Mt. Orab and across the country. I’m proud that our students take that very seriously,” White said. He said that it is also an
emotional feeling to know that some of the students would be in uniform themselves in a year or two. “I have the utmost respect for any of our students that choose to go to the military. Knowing that they will be defending our county and that they are willing to make that commitment is very humbling for me,” White said. Army Vietnam Veteran Bill Cornetet said he enjoyed the ceremony as well. “It makes me feel proud to be a veteran. It really pleases me to see that the school takes the time to recognize veterans and it gives the students the chance to learn what being an American is all about.”

Cook inducted into OIAAA Hall of Fame Western Brown AD recognized at Nov. 14 conference BY Wade Linville The Brown County Press A great deal of work comes with being a fulltime athletic director, hard work that oftentimes goes without recognition. But for Western Brown Local Schools Athletic Director Tim Cook, years of hard work and dedication has not gone unrecognized. On Nov. 14 during the Ohio Athletic Director Conference in Columbus, Cook received his award as a new inductee to the Ohio Interscholastic Athletic Administrators Association Hall of Fame after being nominated for the Hall of Fame by athletic directors in the district in which he works. “First of all, I am very honored and humbled to be receiving the OIAAA Athletic Directors Hall of Fame Award.” Cook said when receiving his award on Nov. 14. “For 20 years I have sat in the audience watching past AD’s stand up here and receive the award, never thinking that I would some-
day be one of those AD’s. So again, very grateful and congratulations to all of the other award winners today. I would like to thank my fellow AD’s from the Southwest District who nominated me for this award. Although the Southwest District covers a lot of area with close to 200 schools, the SWOADA organization is very close and works well together always helping each other and lending advice when needed. I am extremely honored to be recognized by this group of great leaders and very proud to have served this organization as an officer from 2001-2009. I would like to thank the OIAAA for everything they do! I served on the OIAAA Board of Directors from 2009-2014 and watched it grow into one of the strongest associations in the nation during that time. I am very proud of what we accomplished, moving the conference to the Easton Hilton, moving this awards presentation to Monday
from Sunday night (which quadrupled the attendance), seeing our membership grow and creating the Executive Directors position and hiring Bruce Brown to run it. Where we were five years ago until now is amazing and we owe a lot of that to Bruce. I would like to thank Western Brown Local Schools, where I have spent my entire 33 year career (20 as the Assistant Principal/Athletic Director). It is a great place to work with wonderful people. I have been very fortunate to work with bosses who let me do my job. I have been very fortunate to meet many AD’s across the State of Ohio while serving on the SWOADA, OIAAA, SWDAB and the OHSAA Board of Directors and I can say that I have made some close friends along the way. Last but not least, I would like to introduce some very special people who have made the long trip to Columbus to be here today: my mother and father, Jim
and Mary Jo Cook who celebrated their 55th wedding anniversary this fall. My mother was the secretary to the superintendent at Leesburg Fairfield for 30 years and my dad was a teacher, coach, principal and served as AD for 31 years. Dad was nominated to the SEOADA Hall of Fame in 1988. I believe that we have the distinction of being the ONLY father/son combination to be inducted into the OIAAA HOF!! He also drove the bus full time for 51 years (actually 54) with only 2 drivers that have more time in than him in Ohio.” Cook graduated from (Leesburg) Fairfield High School in 1980 and Wilmington College in 1984 before beginning his teaching and coaching career at Western Brown High School in the fall of 1984. He received his Masters Degree from the University of Dayton in 1987. He has been the Assistant Principal and Athletic Administrator at Western Brown since
TIM COOK
1997. Cook coached Boys basketball for 13 years (six as varsity coach) and led the 1996 team to the district finals, which is the farthest in Western Brown's school history. He was the varsity fast pitch softball coach for 10 years, winning five conference titles and accumulating 159 wins. During his tenure as athletic administrator, he has helped complete several projects within the athletic facilities. He has created an Athletic Hall of Fame, an All-Ohio recognition program, pictures of all league championship teams and the Gold Club for Varsity
milestones. He also created a recognition program for individual state qualifiers that recognizes each individual with a State of Ohio plaque that hangs in the gymnasium. Every athlete who wins a district title in an individual sport has a plaque with their picture on it that goes in the trophy case. A team that wins a district championship is awarded a 3’ X 4’ picture and a banner on the wall. Cook has also been involved in the process of building a new high school, adding lights, bleachers and watering systems to the baseball and softball fields, new dugouts at the baseball field, a brand new softball complex, a new five-court tennis facility and a second press box at the football stadium. In 2003, a new entrance way with restrooms and a concession stand were built with local funds. Tim was also involved in negotiating a new beverage contract with Coke for the school district that included $200,000.00 that was used CONTINUED ON PAGE 12
Western Brown holds college signings for Crall, Henderson BY Wade Linville The Brown County Press College signings have taken place throughout Ohio in recent weeks, and among the skilled high school student/athletes to sign their National Letter of Intent this fall were two Western Brown seniors - Eli Crall and Jake Henderson. Crall signed to continue his baseball career on the collegiate level at Eastern Kentucky University during a signing ceremony held at Western Brown High School on Nov. 9 with family, friends, coaches and other school
staff members present. Crall enters his final season of high school baseball this spring in what has been an outstanding career at Western Brown. Crall earned Southern Buckeye Athletic/Academic Conference American Division honors as a junior this past spring. During his high school career he would perform as a pitcher and infield while also excelling at the bat. Henderson signed to continue his wrestling career on the collegiate level at Cleveland State University. A signing ceremony was held for Hen-
derson on Nov. 11 at Western Brown High School with family, friends, coaches, and other Western Brown school staff members present. Henderson enters his senior season of wrestling this winter. As a junior last season, Henderson earned SBAAC American Division First Team honors by winning the league in the 145-pound weight class. He was also a state qualifier in the 145pound class last season, placing fifth in the Ohio State Division II Individual Wrestling Tournament.

Eastern honors Coach Kiser BY Wade Linville The Brown County Press As a crowd gathered for this year's Joe Myers Sports Festival on Nov. 5 at Eastern High School, the school district took time to honor not only one of the most successful coaches in their high school's history, but one of the top high school girls basketball coaches in Ohio. Retired Eastern High School girls basketball coach Richard Kiser was
awarded a plaque during the Myers Sports Fest, acknowledging his accomplishments during his year's as the head coach of the varsity girls basketball program. Kiser began his coaching career at Eastern in 1977 and retired in 2010, recording 601 wins while only suffering 167 losses to rank among the top 10 winningest coaches in Ohio. Kiser was inducted into the Ohio High School Basketball Asso-
ciation Hall of Fame in 2012. Even after his retirement, Kiser continues to support the Eastern basketball programs, working to help coordinate and oversee the Joe Myers 5K Benefit Run/Walk held on July 4 of each year in memory of the man who came to be known as the Eastern Lady Warriors' No. 1 basketball fan, while also assisting with the annual Joe Myers Sports Festival.

Cook inducted into OIAAA Hall of Fame CONTINUED FROM PAGE 11 to purchase new scoreboards throughout the district (including a state of the art football message board and an overhead scoreboard in the gym). Recently, new scoreboards were added at the baseball and softball fields with funding from local businesses. Cook worked with the superintendent in securing funds to purchase all new Hammer Strength equipment for the weight room. Cook has developed an advertising program that raises thousands of dollars each year for the high school athletic program. He found donors to purchase all new banners, cushioned chairs and score tables for the new gymnasium and worked with a local philanthropist who donated approximately $120,000.00 towards the new softball field and tennis courts. In 2009, through the generous donation from the LaRosa family and revenue from a new Coke contract, new turf was installed at the football stadium at no cost to the taxpayers. At the same time, a new scoreboard at the other end of the field was installed and paid for by a local community member who has been very gracious to the school. In all, there has been over
$1,000,000.00 contributed to the athletic department through donations and advertising. During the summer of 2012, a graduate of Mt. Orab High School donated $10,000.00 to build a new baseball press box. Another donor has recently donated $14,600 to build a press box at the softball field that will be open in the spring of 2017 and donated $10,000 to build a shelter house at the softball and tennis complex that was completed in 2015. During Cook’s tenure the athletic program has won 92 conference titles and won the Southern Buckeye Conference AllSports Award 11 times. He has been very active with the Southwest Ohio Athletic Directors Association serving an eight year term (2001-2009) and during his tenure as President, the Southwest District was in charge of hosting the 2006 OIAAA Fall Conference in Columbus. He served on the OIAAA Board of Directors from 2009-2014 and was part of the selection process in hiring Bruce Brown, the OIAAA Executive Director. He has been a Southwest District Tournament Manager for Wrestling and Boys and Girls Basketball for the past 13 years. He is currently a member of the SWOADA, OIAAA, NIAAA and the
OASSA and continues to be very active in these organizations. Cook served on the OASSA Athletic Committee in 2011. He was selected as the Southwest District Athletic Administrator of the Year in 2007 and received the 2014 OIAAA Citation Award, the NIAAA State Award of Merit in 2015 and the NFHS Citation Award in 2016. Tim is also currently serving on the Southwest District Athletic Board thru 2017 and was elected as president during the 201314 school year. He also served on the OHSAA Board of Directors in 201314 and 2014-15 and served as vice president that same year. Tim Cook has been married to wife Lilly for 15 years. Lilly is the Assistant Principal at Mt. Orab Middle School. They have six children and five grandchildren and two more coming soon. His father, Jim, is a 1988 OIAAA Hall of Fame Inductee, a 1991 Ohio High School Softball Coaches Hall of Fame inductee and a 2015 OHSAA Naismith Meritorious Service Award nominee and his wife’s father, the late Heckie Thompson is in the Ohio High School Basketball Coaches Hall of Fame.

With the official start of the 2016-17 high school basketball season just over a week away, OHSAA Foundation Games are kicking up throughout the area. On Friday, Nov. 11, the Georgetown G-Men played host to the North Adams Green Devils for the annual Foundation Games at Georgetown High School, an event to benefit the local Coaches vs. Cancer Fund. In an exciting preseason exhibition contest, it was the Green Devils pulling out a narrow 60-58 over the G-Men. The bout was tied at 11 at the end of the first quarter as a Devils' three-pointer tied the game following a bucket by Georgetown junior Johnny Strickland that gave the G-Men an 11-8 lead. The Green Devils went on a 16-2 run to start the second quarter, rising to a 27-13 lead over the G-Men. After hit free throws by Georgetown sophomore Cameron Brookbank and junior teammate Logan Doss, the G-Men trailed 27-17 with just over three minutes to go before halftime break. It was a three-pointer by Georgetown senior Christian Linville with 1:35 to go in the second quarter that would spark a Georgetown rally. What followed was an assist by Georgetown senior Solomon Underwood for a bucket by sophomore postman Noah Pack. Pack was fouled on the shot, and went to the charity stripe to finish off the old fashioned three-point play to slice the North Adams lead to 32-23. After a bucket by Brookbank on a fast-break to end scoring in the second quarter, the G-Men trailed 3225 at halftime, slicing the Devils' lead in half during their rally late in the first half. Another old fashioned three-point play by Pack with 7:10 to go in the third quarter left the G-Men trailing by only six (34-28) just before Linville picked up his third foul of the night and took a seat on the bench. Then it was North Adams' point guard Isaiah Anderson causing problems for the Georgetown offense, grabbing two straight steals and cruising down the court for two easy buckets on transition to expand the Devils' lead to 38-28. The Devils rose to a 4228 lead before a field goal from close range by Solomon Underwood left

the G-Men trailing by 12. Once again it was the GMen putting together a latequarter rally. A set of hit free throws by Brookbank cut the North Adams lead to 42-37, then it was an assist by Strickland for a bucket by Solomon Underwood that narrow the margin to 42-39. A rebound and put-back by Georgetown senior Chris Dietrick sliced the North Adams lead to 42-41 with under a minute to go in the third quarter. At the end of the third, it was North Adams leading 44-41. After a set of hit free throws by Anderson to start the fourth quarter, an assist by Linville for a score by Strickland on a fast-break left the G-Men trailing by just three, 46-43 with 5:42 left on the clock. The Devils then pulled away to a 53-43 lead, and the G-Men once again found themselves battling back from a double-digit deficit. It was Brookbank burying a set of free throws in the shooting bonus to narrow the margin to 53-49. The Devils clung tight to a narrow lead into the final minute of the fourth frame. With 32 seconds left on the clock, it was a bucket by Brookbank that left the G-Men trailing by just three, 56-53.
The Devils sealed the deal at the charity stripe in the final seconds, as the GMen fouled to stop the clock. A set of hit free throws by Anderson expanded the Devils' lead to 60-55 with only 3.7 seconds left on the clock, but in the final possession of the night it was Solomon Underwood dribbling down the court unguarded and draining a shot beyond the arc just before the buzzer sounded. Pack was among the GMen's scoring leaders with 18 points while also reaching double figures in rebounding to record a double-double. Leading all scorers was Anderson with 30 points. The first preseason contest of the evening saw the Georgetown Lady G-Men taking on the North Adams Lady Green Devils, and it was the skilled squad from North Adams cruising to a 73-23 victory over the young Georgetown varsity squad. The Lady Green Devils utilized their size advantage, racking up buckets in the paint to hold a 44-11 lead at halftime. By the end of the third quarter, the Lady G-Men faced a 56-19 deficit in the preseason exhibition game. North Adams' Avery Harper led all scorers with 25 points.

Creature Feature How diabetes affects your pets What is it: Diabetes mellitus is a chronic endocrine disorder that is quite common in dogs and cats. It is characterized by high blood sugar (hyperglycemia) which results when the pancreas is unable to produce enough insulin to meet the animal’s requirements. Insulin is a hormone which is needed to transport glucose (blood sugar) as well as certain amino acids and minerals through the blood to the cells. When a lack of insulin occurs, glucose cannot move into the cells and the glucose level in the blood rises to abnormally high levels. Chronic high glucose in the blood and urine can cause severe complications including infections, cataracts, diabetic ketoacidosis, nervous system disorders, pancreatitis, and kidney disease. If left untreated, diabetic animals will suffer from complications and an early death. Causes: Diabetes is caused by several things including: genetic predisposition, infection, drugs, pancreatic disease, obesity, estrus (heat cycles) in intact females, and concurrent illness. Who is affected: Although males do develop diabetes, female dogs are twice as likely to be affected by the disease. A genetic disposition towards diabetes is suspected in breeds including the Keeshond, pulik, cairn terrier, and miniature pinscher. In addition, dachshunds, miniature schnauzers, poodles, and beagles also are frequently diagnosed with the disease. However, any dog can develop diabetes mellitus. For cats, males are more often affected. Certain breeds may be more at risk than others, but evidence of this is still unclear. The average age range for the development of diabetes mellitus is four to 14 years, with the majority of cases occurring at six to nine years of age. Symptoms: Common symptoms include excessive thirst, increased volumes of urine, and urinary accidents. Affected pets often have weight loss despite an increased appetite. Other symptoms may include loss of vision, tiredness, weakness, and poor coat condition. Care: There is no cure for diabetes mellitus, but, as with humans, it can be controlled
DAN MEAKIN CREATURE FEATURE
with insulin injections, diet, and exercise management. With such therapy, your pet can lead a happy, comfortable life. Some people with diabetes can use oral hypoglycemic drugs, but these medications typically are not helpful in pets. You should not breed a diabetic female. It is extremely difficult to control diabetes during pregnancy, and may cause a lifethreatening situation. Intact female patients should be spayed as soon as their diabetes is stable to prevent disruption of diabetic control due to fluctuating hormones. Once your pet has been diagnosed with diabetes mellitus, its specific insulin requirements need to be determined. As each pet’s insulin needs are unique and often vary from day to day, your pet may need to be hospitalized to determine its specific needs. This is accomplished by the veterinarian giving the pet an insulin injection and testing the blood sugar levels at regular intervals throughout the day. These results are used to determine your pet’s initial insulin requirements. Because your pet’s insulin
needs may change once it returns home, periodic reevaluation over the next two weeks is recommended until satisfactory control is achieved. Once control is achieved, further evaluations should be completed every 2-4 months. Initially, it may be difficult for some owners to give daily insulin injections, but the majority of owners find it is not that difficult. The insulin is injected just under the skin with a very fine needle and is not painful. It is important, however, that injections be given at the same time each day. Prognosis: The prognosis is dependent on a number of factors. How well the pet does will depend upon the owner’s willingness to treat the disease, the animal’s ability to respond to the insulin, the age at the onset of disease, the presence of other disorders, and the development of complications of diabetes. With dedicated care from the owner, recheck appointments with the veterinarian, and a teamwork approach between the owner and the doctor, most diabetic pets live healthy lives for many years.

PROVIDED/The Brown County Press
A Walk of Mercy was recently held at the Motherhouse grounds of the Ursulines in St. Martin.
Walk of Mercy held in St. Martin in October The St. Martin Deanery Catholic Rural Life in collaboration with the Archdiocesan Catholic Social Action Office and the Ursulines of Brown County sponsored a Walk of Mercy for the Land and its People on Sunday, October 23, 2016 at the Motherhouse grounds of the Ursulines in St. Martin, Ohio. The Walk was planned in response to Pope Francis’ call to observe a jubilee year of mercy. The procession of almost 100 persons visited historic and naturally beautiful sites on the grounds of the Ursulines of Brown County who came to this then wilderness in 1845. The four sites included
both the farmland and waterway that the Sisters placed in conservation easement, and the Pioneer Cemetery, a burial ground for the early founders of the then St. Martin Church in 1823. Paul Holden, a direct descendant of William Bamber, donor of the land for the first church, read the description of the significance of that sacred space. The last site visited was the Sisters’ cemetery where Archbishop John Purcell was also laid to rest. The Walk ended with Benediction in the Ursuline’s Sacred Heart Chapel. A reception was provided by the Women of St. Angela Merici Parish at the Chatfield College
Mongan Building. Among the participants who came from both local and distant places were twelve members of St. Mary’s and Sidney Deanery Catholic Rural Life, who also had lunch at the College and visited a local farm prior to the Walk. The local Knights of Columbus provided transportation for those unable to walk the distance. Fr. Byers reminded us during the silent walk and readings from Deuteronomy at each site that “It is the bond between land and people, the covenant of mercy between God, his people and the land, that we come today to reflect upon and to renew.”

Working with veteran gardeners at the Ohio Veterans Home BY Faye Mahaffey OSUE Brown County Master Gardener Volunteers meet monthly during the growing season with an enthusiastic group of gardeners at the Ohio Veterans Home at Georgetown. Large raised beds in the courtyard are accessible to gardeners that have limited movement capabilities. We help amend the soil, till, plant, mulch, weed, or complete any other jobs as needed. Most of all we look forward to making new gardening friends as the summer growing season progresses. Susan Barber, one of the OSUE Brown County Master Gardener Volunteers, grows tomato plants for the Veteran Gardeners. The excitement on planting day is over the top! I have learned that I need to be there early with the plants and armed with several Master Gardeners eager to dig in the dirt. This project started in 2010 with a total of 8 Veteran Gardeners. Some years the number has been as many as 22. The original raised beds were constructed of lumber and a couple of years ago new brick beds were built with ample space to maneuver around the garden beds. In 2011 the OSUE Outstanding Master Gardener Volunteer Project for the small county program was awarded to Brown County at the International Master Gardener Conference in Charleston, West Virginia. The “Seeds of Freedom” project encourages residents to continue their life-long love of gardening. These long-term care Veterans enjoy the feel of dirt in their hands, regardless of the limitations of a wheelchair, oxygen tank, or other health issues. Beginning Veteran gardeners need basic knowledge about planting, maintenance and harvesting. This past year Master Gardener Volunteers have been helping with raised bed gardens and a Perennial Bed in the courtyard of the Memory Unit at the Ohio Veterans Home. We have enjoyed working with the staff to make the courtyard come alive with blooms and vegetables. This past week I was asked to talk about our Ohio Veterans Home garden project at the Ohio Master Gardener Volunteer Coordinators Conference held at Ohio State University. I was honored to share the stories of the Veteran Gardeners that I have met through the years. Meeting on the third Tuesday of each month and working with the Veteran Gardeners provides opportunities for education and conversations. This fellowship of gardening allows the Veteran gardeners to share stories of long ago and far away that were some of the most joyous times in their lives. Gardens are planted and cared for. Friendships are formed. Spirits are raised.
