YWCA services to end Jan 1 BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press Domestic and sexual violence prevention and treatment services provided by the YMCA in Brown and Adams counties will be ending at the end of the year. Two full time staff positions and two half-time positions will be cut, according to Kate Lawson, Director of the YWCA of greater Cincinnati. Lawson said the services are ending because a federal grant was not renewed. In 2008 and in 2010, the Office of Violence Against Women within the U.S. Department of Justice provided grants to the YWCA for the prevention of domestic and sexual violence.
In 2008, the amount provided was $200,000 and in 2010, the grant totaled $249,112. Lawson did not provide the amount requested for 2012, and the Office of Violence Against Women did not return a telephone call requesting comment. “We believe that the grant was not renewed because of a recent change in what areas of Ohio are designated as rural by the federal government. The government’s most recent rural tracker designated only 26% of Brown County as rural- it had formerly been 86%”, Lawson said. Lawson said the YWCA intends to continue to serve women in the greater Cincinnati area and that her staff was looking into alter-
natives. “The YWCA has strong ties to a wide range of service providers interacting with victims of domestic and sexual violence in Brown and Adams counties via its leadership role on both counties’ Task Force on Domestic and Sexual Violence.”, Lawson said. She continued, “Task Force members include individuals from the Prosecutors Office, Child Focus, law enforcement, hospitals, secondary and higher education institutions, Children Protective Services, and the Dept. of Job and Family Services. Since learning about this funding cut, we have been working to ensure that the critical work of this Task Force continues under the leader-
ship of one or more of these community partners.” Lawson said that the YWCA will continue to serve as many survivors as possible through the remaining Court Advocacy position in Brown County. Lawson also said the YWCA was looking into options for making up the shortfall. “We are working diligently to secure alternate funding to restore our programming as soon as possible in these communities.” Lawson said she is disappointed that the grant was not renewed. “This cut in funding has a very significant impact on our mission to prevent violence against women in Brown and Adams counties. In 2011, we served

Mt. Orab Christmas Parade delights while lighting the night BY Martha B. Jacob The Brown County Press This year marked the sixth annual Mt. Orab Christmas Parade, sponsored by the Christmas Parade Committee. It was the second year for a night parade.
It was estimated by Mt. Mayor Bruce Orab Lunsford that as many as 3,500 to 4,000 spectators and participants attended the November 24 event. The parade began at 6 p.m. and traveled from the Western Brown High School through the center
of town. “It was a wonderful parade this year,” Lunsford said. “I know that our Grand Marshall, Buddy LaRosa and his son Mark really seemed to enjoy it. I think they were a little surprised at the huge turnCONTINUED ON PAGE 11

ing. Additional units from Williamsburg, Fayetteville and Georgetown fire departments were requested for water and manpower. Crews worked for thirty minutes to get the fire under control and remained on scene another two hours performing salvage and overhaul operations. At the time of the fire there were three adults and one juvenile at the residence. They were alerted
about the fire when the smoke detectors activated. The occupants managed to rescue the family dog and her five puppies from the residence as the exited. Firefighters rescued the family cat. The occupants were renters and lost the majority of their contents in the fire. The cause of the fire is still under investigation and we are working to calculate a dollar loss on the property.”

easily detected by the human eye than other colors. The new green lights, along with new white lights, will be added to the existing amber lights creating a color combination unique to ODOT. “The change to multi-colored lights was driven by the number of vehicles rear-ending ODOT’s plow trucks,” said ODOT District 9 Deputy Director Vaughn Wilson. “Ohio has four times the number of rear-end collisions
as our neighboring states.” Thanks to Governor John R. Kasich’s Mid-Biennium Review (MBR), use of the multi-colored lights on snowplow trucks, when operated on highways, is now law. The MBR was a top-to-bottom review of state government agencies and programs. Through this process, the Governor and his cabinet found a number of significant changes to reform outdated policies.

With the official start of winter just around the corner, the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) has been hard at work readying its snow-fighting equipment and its 3,000 snowplow drivers for the upcoming snow and ice season. In recent weeks, ODOT District 9 has been conducting 150-point inspections, test, and fine-tune snow removal equipment as part of county-by-county Operational Readiness Events. During these inspections, auto technicians and mechanics give each truck, plow and grader a thorough review to assure that equipment is functioning properly and address any repairs that need to be made. “Although last winter was mild, Ohio weather is unpredictable,” said ODOT Director Jerry Wray. “By ensuring our equipment is fully functional and our drivers are trained, motorists can be assured roads will be safe and passable from the first snowstorm to the last.” ODOT will make history this winter by being the first state in the nation to use green-colored strobe lights on its snowplow trucks. Studies show green lights are more

A HEROD SPIRIT
The Scriptures record that Herod was disturbed. (Matthew 2:1-12, note verse 3.) This King was disturbed by many things. He was disturbed by people around him, even his family. History records he killed 300 Court Officials and even his own wife and three sons! He was disturbed indeed! But why would the birth of a baby be so disturbing to him? At this announcement of a child’s birth he devises a plan: use Scriptures! But not use them in a Godly way. He finds out the child was to be born in Bethlehem. Then, he tries to deceive the Magi by getting them to find the child and report back. Herod was sly. Herod was also ignorant. See, you cannot deceive God like you can deceive people. Psalm 2:1-2, 4. “Why do the nations conspire and the peoples plot in vain? The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers gather together against the Lord and against his Holy One. The One enthroned in heaven laughs: the Lord scoffs at them.” This part of the Christmas story – sometime after Jesus’ birth – is not one you will see on Television this Christmas Season. This will not be on any Greeting Cards. It is full of evil and the death of infants by a dark, evil gospel villain. But I would be remiss in saying this was only a First Century phenomenon. It is around today. It has always been around! Why? Herod is every man. If that disturbs you, good. He has been dead for many years, but his spirit lives on. The truth is, Herod is who you and I are without the grace of God. Truth is hard to take at times but helps us to grow. What Herod was infected with is what we are infected with: the disease called self-centeredness or self-worshipping. Our reaction to a center of the world other than ourselves is just as Herod’s
reaction was. The Herod spirit? It still goes to church, still sings the hymns and still sends Christmas cards. But the Herod spirit still has ME on the throne. I may go to church but don’t tell me what to do with MY money. “Isn’t that a great hymn we just sang?” The Herod spirit will let me go to church but my sexuality is my own and I will sleep with whomever I want. And if I want to get out of my marriage, that is MY right. “Pass me the Communion plate please.” The Herod spirit says I will watch whatever I want to watch and say whatever I want to say and read whatever I want to read. “Oh, is it my turn to pray?” The Herod spirit says I will remove this mistake (child) from my body if I want for that is my right. “Aren’t the children in the Christmas pageant cute?” The only problem is, God is watching us. He will not be deceived. There can only be ONE Lord of our life. If Jesus is Lord, then you are not. Only one King of Kings was born some 2,000 Years ago and that was not you or me. It may be best this time of year to undergo a serious heart check. Is this Christ-child on the throne of your heart? Don’t miss Matthew 2:11 “they bowed down and worshipped him.” It is noteworthy that early in Matthew 2 Herod is called King Herod. But after the Magi recognize Jesus, he is called only Herod: no longer King. And you and I are not King either. Don’t forget that. And yes, we say, Merry Christmas to you and yours! (We can still say that, at least until a king takes it away.) “All the churches of Christ send greetings.” Romans 16:16 Gary J Mattingly Fayetteville Church of Christ 513-875-3636

Brown County Safe Communities receives funding for 2013 Federal Funds from the Office of Criminal Justice Services Help Save Lives in Brown County The Brown County Safe Communities (BCSC) Coalition is pleased to announce that it will receive more support for traffic safety activities for the Federal Fiscal Year 2013! HEALTH-UC and the University of Cincinnati Area Health Education Center (AHEC) Program, the organization which locally administers the BCSC Program, has once again been awarded a Safe Communities Program grant from the Ohio Department of Public Safety’s Office of Criminal Justice Services-Traffic Safety Section (OCJS-TS). Partnerships are very important to the long-term success of any safety effort, and these funds will help to continue already-existing partnerships with local law
SUSAN BASTA enforcement and other local and state safety partners to decrease the number of fatal and serious injury crashes on our local roads. In Brown County, Safe Communities members include the Ohio State Patrol, Brown County Sheriff’s Dept., and other local police departments. Also represented are the Brown County Commissioners, the Brown County 4-H CARTEENS, all local high schools and Southern Hills Career & Technical Center. The offices of the County Prosecutor, the Brown County Engineer, and all of our local judges and courts have been faithful members, as have the Brown County Health Department, Southwest Regional Medical Center, and Air Evac Lifeteam, We’ve been
lucky to have the support of some local businesses such as Rumpke, Inc. and of our local newspapers. And both of our state legislators, Rep. Danny Bubp and State Senate President Tom Niehaus, have been very helpful as well. Finally, we’ve had some very dedicated community volunteers, and we need to give special thanks to Pat Hopkins, who’s been a faithful participant since our beginning! Beginning this month, the Brown County Safe Communities Coalition will plan and conduct activities to increase seat belt use, prevent drunk and drugged driving, promote motorcycle safety, and prevent distracted driving. The Coalition will also continue its emphasis on youthful driver safety. Safe Communities activities also focus on several holiday seasons which can involve heavy traffic patterns and celebrations which traditionally can involve more alcohol use. The grant funds for the
Brown County Safe Communities Program are passed through the OCJSTS from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to support the efforts of safety partners statewide and focus on the previously mentioned traffic safety priority issues. HEALTHUC has been coordinating the Safe Communities Program since it began in Brown County in October of 2000 with the help of several participating organizations, many of whom were mentioned above as current Coalition members. For more information about Brown County Safe Communities, please call Sue Basta, Project Director at HEALTH-UC at 937378-4171. We are always looking for more members!

I have been privileged to have a role in many of the reforms that have been put in place over the past two years, in addition to getting Ohio out of its $8 billion budget hole without raising taxes.
DANNY BUBP The period from the election until the end of the session is often called the “lame duck” session, which is a term dating back to the 18th century in London. Although many lame duck ses-

sions are marked by inactivity, this is not the case at the Ohio House this year. Recently, the House passed several more bills, including one dealing with high-volume dog breeding operations that received a lot of attention. The legislation better regulates high-volume breeders, including raising care standards and increasing penalties. This is to ensure that dogs are not being kept in operations with inhumane conditions, often referred to as “puppy mills.” Although more conversations are taking place on what bills will definitely be put up for a vote yet this year, there are many issues that we have been taking a closer look at for many months, including such topics as tax reform, internet sweepstakes, and what Ohio should do about having a healthcare exchange under Obamacare. We have also already started to toss around ideas for the upcoming budget that will be passed next year. Even though I will not be in office because I am limited to four terms, the budget is a massive piece of legislation that requires many months of work in advance of its passage. The sooner we start working on it, the better, and I’m pleased to have a role in
this. Even though the members of the Ohio House are staying busy, we were sure to recognize the sacrifice of Ohio’s fallen service members from 2011. The General Assembly gathers for the purpose of presenting their families with the Ohio Military Medal of Distinction every year. As a veteran myself, I cannot say enough about how moving this ceremony is. Unfortunately, one of the 28 service members we honored was from the 88th House District that I represent. This was Army Specialist Seth Blevins, from Sardinia, who died serving his country in May of last year. I’m pleased that we were able to present his family with the medal on behalf of the State of Ohio, and I thank them for making the trip to the Statehouse. Over the next few weeks, I will be sure to keep you informed on what legislation is being considered at the Statehouse. Be sure to contact my office if you have any questions of concerns on the issues that Ohio is facing. I also hope that you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving. Please enjoy the day and remember how grateful we are to be living in this country.

GEVS teachers already feeling results of new mandated teacher evaluation system CMYK
Ohio House Bill 153, directed the Educator Standards Board to recommend model evaluation systems for teachers and principals to the State Board of Education. Then Ohio Senate Bill 316 made some changes to the system which will be implemented this school year. The Ohio Teacher Evaluation System (OTES) that was created has now been mandated to be used to assess the performance of Ohio teachers. Tom Durbin, superintendent of Georgetown Exempted Village Schools discussed the new system at length during the November 20 board of education meeting. “This new system is a collaborative developed by teachers, administrators, and representatives from Ohio’s professional associations,” Durbin said, “We here at Georgetown are getting ahead of the game and we’ve already begun this process of evaluating our teachers” Durbin told the board that the new teacher evaluation system is now required by the Ohio Revised Code. He added that the OTES will be used as a model and it will provide several evaluation factors including student academic growth, which will account for half of the evaluation.

In other business at the meeting, legislative liaison Ray Virost reported to the board that he and several other board members had recently attended the Ohio Boards Association Capital Conference. Virost said the event was interesting and he felt like every school board member in Ohio should have been at the conference. “It was a good convention, it had good courses, but the trade show for me was not as interesting,” Virost said. “I guess districts are just not in the buying mood, and the vendors that were there could tell that.” Virost said there was some talk at the show about levy’s that passed and those that failed. He said there was a lot of interest in the Ohio Appalachian Collaborative of which Georgetown is one of 21 school districts, banded together helping each other. The board approved the financial report. Also approved was the purchase of three copiers and Equitrac Print Management Software from Richo at a total cost of $43,834.

He said the evaluation requires observation of the teacher, including at least two formal observations by the evaluator (usually a principal) of at least thirty minutes each and classroom walk-throughs. “Teachers will be rated on each of their evaluations,” Durbin said. “and according to their level of performance, they will receive ‘accomplished’, ‘proficient’, ‘developing’ or ‘ineffective’. “Teachers must implement a classroom-level, value-added program to be developed which will identify student academic growth for grade levels and subjects for which the valueadded applies.” Durbin, as well as all the board members, agree that this new evaluation system will be useful in improving the assessment of teachers and will strengthen their professional growth. “It’s all about the students,” Durbin said. “When our teachers are excelling at their jobs, our students will also excel. That’s why we’re all here.” He added that the new system must be in place by the middle of the 2012-2013 school year.

Why painkillers work differently in some adults and children This week we’re going to address everybody’s favorite, the pain pills. Whether it is Vicodin, Percocet, hydrocodone, Oxycodone, hydromorphone, fentanyl, or one of dozens of other narcotics, they all belong to the same family: the opioids. The great grandfather of this family is opium thus the name opioids. Opium is a substance that comes from the poppy plant. There are many different species of poppies, but the one we’re talking about here is the opium poppy (for obvious reasons). Opium is obtained from the milky sap in the stems and pods of the plant. There are at least 50 different chemicals in opium but the most common, accounting for about 10 percent by weight, is morphine.
HEALTH MATTERS TOM CALLAHAN, RPH Morpine was first isolated from opium in 1804 by a German pharmacist named Friedrich Serturner. It was first commercially sold at a little store in Germany in 1827 at Merck which at the time was just a “chemist shop” or pharmacy. Guess we know one of the reasons Merck grew into the pharmaceutical giant it is today. The second most common chemical in opium is codeine. Although codeine has been used for over a century, it’s only recently that we have discovered how it works in the body and why it doesn’t seem to

work for some people. Codeine itself is actually a very weak pain reliever, but in the liver it is converted to morphine by a certain enzyme. It’s this conversion to morphine that accounts for most of codeine’s pain relief. It turns out that about 10 percent of the population lack this enzyme that changes codeine into morphine, and so for them codeine is not very effective. On the other hand, there is about five percent of the population that have an abundance of this enzyme and are able to rapidly change the codeine into morphine. There have been a number of deaths in young children that were given normal doses of codeine after minor surgery like a tonsillectomy because they were in that five percent. Many children’s hospitals are starting to give morphine instead of codeine because it is safer and more effective. Think of it this way; Giving a child codeine means you are depending on the child’s liver to change it into morphine. So some kids will get almost no pain relief, and unfortunately, some kids will get an overdose. If you give them morphine and dose it correctly by their weight, you know they are getting a safe and effective dose. Most people who get a prescription for a narcotic pain medication will get either hydrocodone or oxycodone. Hydrocodone is the narcotic in Vicodin (and other brands too numerous to mention). An interesting story on the origin of the name Vicodin is that hydrocodone is six times as potent as codeine (5mg of hydrocodone is equivalent to 30mg of codeine). The number six in roman numerals is VI thus the name VI – CODIN. Unfortunately, these medications do not actually stop the pain, they work in the brain to alter our perception of the pain. With continued use tolerance develops. This means it takes a higher and higher dose of the pain medication to achieve the same effect. Next column we will look at the problems with long term use of narcotic medications. Tom Callahan is a pharmacist, he lives in the Milford area.

Dining with Diabetes, a 3-class cooking school series provided by Ohio State University (OSU) Extension, helped diabetics and their caregivers get the tools and information needed to manage diabetes through nutrition and physical activity. In October and November, diabetics and their caregivers gathered to attend the Dining with Diabetes series at Eastern Brown High School. During the classes, participants learned about carbohydrate counting, fats and sodium, vitamins and minerals, and reading nutrition labels. As a result of attending the class, participants said they started using less sodium, reading and using nutrition facts labels to select foods, eating smaller portion sizes, and reducing the amount of fat they consume. After the lesson on fats and sodium, one person even kept track of how much sodium they consumed in one day. To their surprise, it was much more than they had expected! Now they will be much more attuned to the amount of sodium that is in the food they eat. At each class, participants were able to sample main dishes, side dishes, and desserts that are carbohydrate friendly. Partici-

Something To Think about TOM MEGIE DIRECTOR
IMPORTANCE OF VISITING Do not underestimate the value of your visit to the bereaved. It means more to the mourners than they can possibly express. With death comes grief. The family grieves for its lost one and for itself. The sorrow of separation is evident. You lighten the sorrow by sharing in it. Your visit will help them get started on the road back. The emotional well-being of survivors depends on the acknowledgment of the death, not on the denial of it. That is why the funeral and visitation are so important. Painful as they may be, they confirm the fact that the death has occurred. Going to the visitation and/or the funeral can also be good in many ways for the person doing it. Facing the fact of death when it happens to others can be important in sharing the values in one’s own life. It helps pre-
pare for future death in the family. It shows how to accept this same kind of community support when death occurs.

Joy Comes In The Morning In the fourth chapter of the book of Mark, Jesus tells another parable. In this parable He is teaching doctrine: “Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow: And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up. And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth: But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away. And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit. And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some a hundred.” When the disciples asked Jesus what it meant, He responded by saying, “...but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables: That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.” You might ask why would God not forgive them. Well, because if they are not willing to do the work of God and they are not interested in furthering their knowledge nor forgiving them if they are not willing to repent. Jesus went on to say, “Know ye not this parable? And how then will ye know all parables? He spoke many times in parables and He is saying that if they couldn’t understand this simple one how were they going to understand the others. Then He goes on to explain, “The sower soweth the word.” That is the word of God. We are to go out and broadcast the seed; in other words spread God’s word around. You have probably heard the term radiobroadcast. That meant that the signal would go out everywhere. People could then hear the radio program. But the catch was that you had to have the radio turned on in order to hear it. Are you broadcasting the word of God? If so, some will fall by the way side. Jesus tells us that the word is sown but when they have heard it Satan comes and immediately removes it from their heart. It does not have the chance to have an affect. It’s like water off of a duck’s back. Next you have the stony ground. These are people who hear the word and get all excited and happy for a time. But the word stays right close to the surface. They don’t allow it to penetrate too deep. Things are great so long as they are hearing what they want to hear and all is right in their world. But as soon as trouble comes along, notice for the

word’s sake, they are offended. Maybe somebody made fun of them, or called them a fanatic. It’s not too likely in this day and age in Amercia that they would be stoned for claiming Christianity. Verse 17 tells us, “immediately they are offended.” Then comes the seed, which fell among the thorns. These people receive the word and then along comes the cares of this world. Let’s see, there are taxes, electric bills, phone bills, house payments, car payments, clothes, and I’m sure many others. On top of that there is the deceitfulness of riches. I think most of the time that is a poorman’s problem. A man once told me that if I were to go to one of these casinos I would see the poorest people pouring their money into those slot machines. He said that it is simply the transfer of money from the poor to the rich. I believe he is right. The Lottery is the same thing. I once saw a man standing in line to buy a Lottery ticket. He then went to the parking lot, tickets in hand, got into a junky old car with some ill clad children in it and drove off. It seemed to me that he would have been better off buying some food or clothes for the children. It’s the deceitfulness of riches. The gambling craze is eating up America today. Then the Bible goes on to say: “and the lust of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.” Finally there is the good ground. These are people who hear the word of God, receive it, and bring forth fruit. They hear, they get saved, they witness, and they win souls to the LORD. They sow and reap, not only souls, but also joy and the love of God. When the rewards are given out in heaven this fruit will also be accredited to their account there. In Psalm 126, it states something, which I believe, fits in with what Jesus is saying here. It says, “They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.” There may be a lot of labor involved in sowing but there will be a lot of joy in the reaping.

White. General Hamer died early in the war and when Chilton returned to Georgetown he completed his law studies with Sanders Johnson, General Hamer’s son-in-law, and was admitted to practice in 1848.

During the November 15 Fayetteville-Perry Local School District Board of Education meeting, board president Angela Murphy reported on events of the Ohio Boards Association Capital Conference she attended on November 12-13. “I guess the really big thing that they touched on at the conference was how successful Ohio schools have been in sharing services,” Murphy said. “And not just with other schools, but with villages and communities. “They are encouraging schools share staff members like cafeteria workers, head cooks or bus maintenance employees.” Murphy said that some schools are even sharing work with village employees. She explained, for example, if a village worker is mowing an area next to a school perhaps it would be cheaper to hire that employee to mow the school rather than pay someone else. “Ideas like that are certainly worth looking into,” she added. “They also talked about a new program called, ‘Strong Schools...Strong Communities’, which encourages villages to support schools and visa versa.

Brown County Chamber invites women to join new committee The Brown County Chamber of Commerce announced the formation of a new committee specifically for women in the community. Summer Tyler, chairwoman of the committee said, “The committee will provide good opportunities for networking, educational and service events to benefit working women and women in the community. Any women in the community who would like to participate are encouraged to join us.” Heather Frye, Director of the Chamber said, “ ‘The Empowering Women Through Education’ committee will be informally known as EWE. Our motto is, ‘We care about EWE’, and our mascot is a sheep. The mascot is a reminder of our rural roots in the community,” said Frye. The committee is developing service projects and some social events for 2013. The first week of January is National Women’s Empowerment Week. Committee members are creating events for the entire month of January. The committee completed its first service project by assisting the Eastern Area United Way with “Backpacks for Success” a school supply drive for kindergarten students in Brown County. A total of 27 backpacks were collected. “We exceeded our initial goal of ten backpacks, complete with school supplies. Donations of crayons, glue sticks, pencils, scissors and other school items were needed,” said Tyler, whose HVAC business donated a
complete backpack. “I think it was a very successful first service project.” During the month of September the committee registered voters for the 2012 elections. The mission statement of the “EWE” Committee is: To support and empower women of Brown County, in all ages and stages of their careers. To promote the development of personal skills and cultivate the total wellness of women and their families. Providing education and networking opportunities with other women to lead the way and serve as a catalyst for positive change in our community.

She followed all of her kids in basketball and never missed a game. “In the past few years, Mom would roll her walker in to her spot in the corner, and cheered the team on.

Kirschner signs to play baseball for Xavier Believed to be first Ripley athlete to sign Division I BY Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press In front of a handful of family and coaches last Wednesday night at the Flash Baseball Complex just west of Hamersville, Brad Kirschner affirmed what he had worked his entire life for. The Ripley senior confirmed that he had signed his Letter of Intent to play baseball for Xavier University. Not only did Kirschner realize his dream of playing Division I baseball but in the process he is believed to have become the first Ripley student-athlete to continue their athletic endeavors on the Division I level. The combination left the
17-year-old in awe. “It doesn't quite seem real,” Kirschner said last Wednesday night. It wasn’t just luck that got Kirschner the opportunity to play for Xavier. Baseball has always been Kirschner’s sport and he has put in the time and effort to make himself a top notch left handed pitcher. Nearly from the time he began playing baseball at four years old, Kirschner has spent much of his time on a baseball diamond. For the past three years that has been as a member of the Ripley baseball team. Last season, as the Blue Jays top pitcher, Kirschner finished the season 4-4 with a 3.47 earned run average, 75 strikeouts and just 34 hits in 40.1 innings pitched. But he wasn’t just any member of the team. He has been a key part of
third-year Blue Jay coach Matthew Folkerth’s rebuilding of the program. And his coach is quick to give his star left hander credit. “He brings a level of skill that is not matched by anybody else. A level of competitiveness,” Folkerth said last Wednesday night at the Flash Complex. “He brings just a sense of wanting to turn around a program, which is what I needed when I started because it wasn't the best program in the world. We're moving in the right direction and I wouldn't have been able to do it without Brad.” But it’s taken more than just his time with the Blue Jays for Kirschner to reach this point. He has played baseball on local club teams from the time he was second grade. Much of that was spent
with the Flash, a program based out of Hamersville and run by the man who built the complex, Mike Daly. Daly, who has also coached Kirschner for the past nine years, has saw the progression of a young man who has become one of the best players the program has ever developed. “When I first saw him, I

said you're gonna pitch college baseball,” Daly said last Wednesday night. “He was incredibly competitive. He was just a dominant little player when he was a little kid.” His tireless work -which included time working with former Major League Baseball (MLB) reliever and pitching coach Tom House -- saw him be-

Out of the timeout, Lewis scored again, this time on a drive to the basket, to make it 28-21. Lewis, who was seeing her first action since breaking her ankle on Nov. 3 in a scrimmage, played well as she scored 13 points in limited minutes. “I didn’t know how much to play her. The doctors said go ahead and play her,” Burrows said of Lewis. “Just be judge on the type of game it is. I tried to take her out from time to time.” With their lead extended to eight points, 31-23, with a little over a minute left in the half after free throws from Emily Turner and Maria Johnson, the Lady Indians cut into their deficit as the Lady Warriors tried to press.

BAINBRIDGE-All things considered, the Eastern girls basketball team’s 61-57 loss to Valley last Saturday afternoon in the Paint Valley Classic wasn’t all that bad. Sure, they lost, but with five players seeing their first real varsity action the Lady Warriors actually put up a pretty good fight. They jumped out to an early lead and were able to play with a more experienced Valley team in a tight second half. In the end, though, the Lady Indians made just a few more plays late in the game and the Lady Warriors couldn’t respond until it was just too late. “We had a turnover. It wasn’t a real good pass.
Then we didn’t guard when we were supposed to press there,” Eastern coach John Burrows said of the final minutes. “Some of that’s experience, just not understanding. (But) for all practical purposes, they played pretty well.” Though much of the game ended up being nip and tuck, it looked as if the Lady Warriors were going to take control about midway through the second quarter. With just under five minutes left in the half, and the Lady Indians leading by one, the Lady Warriors went to work. Baskets from Tressie Lewis, Madeline Bornstein and Kayla Seigla got Eastern a 26-21 lead with 2:34 left in the half and forced Valley coach Mark Merritt to call timeout.

The Western Brown wrestling team is young, at least in terms of age and grade level. Of the 21 wrestlers currently on the Broncos roster, just six are upperclassman, including one senior. So with 15 freshman and sophomores on their roster, it would be logical to look at this year’s Broncos as both young and inexperienced. But that isn’t quite the case. Factoring in how much they’ve wrestled at lower levels and in the summer, the younger Broncos may actually have more experience than their older teammates. “As far as mat time experience, yes. They have two or three years of junior high,” Western Brown coach Wendel Donathan explained during practice on Monday. “And most of our freshman have been wrestling for two or three years now. That helps.” The experience the Broncos will have on the mats this winter goes beyond that, though. Despite being led by a pretty big group of seniors a year ago, the Bronco wrestlers who saw the most success when all was said and done are back this season. Juniors Blake Silvis and Kenon Bowling each were
Terry W. Setty/PROVIDED
The 2012-13 Western Brown wrestling team.
Southern Buckeye Conference champions at their respective weight classes a year ago while Silvis and sophomores Tyler Adkins and Cody Wilson all advanced through the sectional and made it to districts. At the district meet, Silvis came up just one match short of advancing to state as a sophomore. Those four wrestlers, as well as freshman Malachai Marlow, added to their experience this summer when they competed nationally for Team Ohio in Fargo, ND, something Donathan feels will only help the experienced group. “If anything, it's big from just the mental part (in) that (they) can compete with kids regionally and nationally (so they)
should be able to compete with kids locally,” the fourth-year coach said. “But the biggest plus for that stuff is being able to, with that Fargo stuff, is training day in and day out with some of Ohio's best kids. You're gonna get better because of it.” Despite that experience of the younger guys, many of whom have been in the program since Donathan took over when they were in junior high, they are still lacking in one major area -- leadership. With so few upperclassman on this year’s team, the Broncos haven’t been able to fill the void that the graduation of last year’s seniors left. It’s something that Donathan believes may be the key even as the group has
worked hard and bought in to what their coaches have taught them. “The big thing with these kids right now, I think, you know, they're starting to buy in to what we as coaches are asking and what we want them to do,” Donathan said. “ If we can springboard off of how we finished last year, you know, that'll get us going in the right direction. “I think the key for us is getting some leadership. If we don't get any leadership... we've got the buyin. They're working hard. But we don't have any leaders right now and somebody's got to do that.” But with continued growing numbers and the experience from last year’s strong finish, Donathan, as he says he always does,
has high expectations. He believes the Broncos can compete with the top SBC-American Division teams New Richmond and Bethel-Tate. Both teams finished ahead of them at the league meet last year and have one key advantage on the Broncos. “I think both of those guys have about 30 kids in their program right now and that gives them some depth,” Donathan said of Richmond and New Bethel. “That's where we will hurt, the depth part.” It won’t be just league teams challenging the Broncos, however, as they’ve bulked up their schedule. They kick off their season next Friday night, Dec. 7, on the road against Ross,
the Division II district runner-up a year ago, and Colerain. They also added a tournament at Bellbrook in Dayton and a dual with Summit Country Day to the schedule. He added those teams not only to challenge his team but also to help them prepare for the state tournament, which has a new format this year. Unlike previous years, the state team champion will be crowned by a series of dual meets. Every team will make the postseason, like basketball or baseball, and they’ll compete in dual meets to crow the champ. It is something Donathan is happy to see happen. “I think it gives us a better chance as a team. I'm all for it. I think it's an awesome move by OHSAA to do that,” he said. “ I think it's awesome and our goal is to make it as far as we can in that tournament.” The Broncos are: Senior: Nick Orr. Juniors: Kenon Bowling, Ryan Fulmer, Dylan Liming, Michael Marlow and Blake Silvis. SophoAdkins, mores: Tyler Pedro Diaz, Christian Erhardt, Noah McMullen, Nick Osborne, Chase Perkins, Nick Wells, Luke White, Bryon Whitaker and Cody Wilson. Freshman: Zach Gagen, Cody Hansen, Zachary Kirker, Malachai Marlow and Corey Meyer.

Local Lady Bears cross country runners earn national rank Three former local high school athletes helped earn Shawnee State University a nationally ranked finish to their cross country season recently. The local Lady Bears are Bri Tudor and Mikelle Moon of Western Brown High School and Andi Lanigan of Bethel-Tate High School. These ladies have been an integral part of the Shawnee State women’s cross country
team that earned a third straight Mid South Conference championship on Nov. 3. The con- SSU Athletics/P ference title earned the Bri Tudor Lady Bears an automatic bid to the NaROVIDED
tional Association of Intercollegiate Athletics National Championships in Vancouver, SSU Athletics/P WA. All season long, Andi Lanigan the Lady Bears had tried to prove that they belonged in ROVIDED
the national top 25. At the National Championships on Nov. 17, they took matters into their SSU Athletics/P own hands and placed Mikelle Moon 23rd. Shawnee State head coach ROVIDED
Eric Putnam proved again that he remains one the nation’s premier coaches as he added another Coach of the Year award while building this year’s very young but strong team. The Lady Bear’s will return all but one of their runners next fall. Last year as a freshman, Tudor went to the National Championships as an alternate. Having never ran high
school cross country, she gained valuable experience. That gave rise to this season where Tudor scored in every race and ran herself to all league honors and to the 24th all time fastest time in program history. Meanwhile, in her freshman season, Lanigan, who has turned in a very competitive year, gained experience with the trip to Vancouver as an alternate.

Lady Broncos put up good fight but Falcons pull away for win late CMYK
BY Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press Kyle Fender knew it was going to be a tall task for his Western Brown girls basketball to come out with a season opening victory against Clinton-Massie on Tuesday night. It wasn’t that his team didn’t have the ability to do so, it was just that the visiting Falcons are a very talented bunch with a ton of height that Fender’s Lady Broncos don’t have. Despite being outsized at nearly every position, the Lady Broncos gave the Falcons a good fight for much of the night, which included playing the Falcons to a halftime tie. But coming out of the break, the Falcons turned up the defensive pressure. That combination of increased pressure and the Falcons height helped the visitors open a lead they wouldn’t relinquish despite a Lady Broncos late rally en route to a 61-44 road victory. “We’ve got to give them credit. They’re a great basketball team. They’re gonna have a good season,” Fender said afterward. “We’ve got to execute better. That will come with time. This is game one. I’m not hitting the panic button. We’ll learn some lessons from this game and we’ll be a better team for it.” Even with the Falcons starting four players 5-foot-

10 or taller, which is bigger than all but one player on the Western Brown roster, the Lady Broncos held their own in the first half. They packed back into a zone on the defensive end of the floor in the first half to close down the lane and it worked. Sydney Brackemyre, a top 20 player in the nation in the junior class, scored 19 first half points but the Lady Broncos limited second chance opportunities

and executed on offense, led by Kylie Garrett’s 13 first half points, to head into halftime tied at 25. “We wanted to wall off the paint. We wanted to keep the ball out of the paint in the high post area,” Fender said. “We were successful in doing that in the first half and it was (a) very even game.” The second half didn’t get off to the best start for the Lady Broncos as Brackemyre scored on a layup off a turnover and hit a 3-pointer to give the Falcons a 30-25 lead a little over a minute and a half into the third quarter. A steal and layup from Delayne Seigla cut into the lead for the Lady Broncos before Brittany Smith hit a baseline runner to increase the visitors lead back to five, 32-27. But, again, the Lady Broncos answered. Sophomore Lindsey Harvey hit a long two point jumper to cut the Falcon lead to 32-29 with 4:24 left in the quarter. That’s when the tide began to turn. Clinton-Massie continued to turn up its defensive pressure and it began to have an effect on the Lady Broncos. Their full court man-toman defense held the Lady Broncos scoreless for the next three minutes and 27 seconds after Harvey’s
jumper. At the same time the Falcons went on a 8-0 run with many points coming off second chance points as they began to find it easier to get into the lane both off of penetration and Lady Bronco turnovers, of which there were nine in the third quarter alone. “They scored a lot of points off turnovers,” Fender said of the third quarter. “They scored a ton of points on us off of second chance points. Sometimes third and fourth (chance).” By the time Garrett forcefully drove to the basket, was fouled and hit both free throws with 57 seconds left in the quarter to end the scoreless drought, the Falcons had built a 4031 lead they would take to the fourth quarter. But the Lady Broncos didn’t give in with the tide turning in the Falcons favor. They turned up the pressure on their defense and cut into the visitors lead. A Seigla free throw made it a six point game with 5:15 left before Taylor Henry converted two layups around a Falcons basket to cut the Lady Broncos deficit to five, 4742, with just 2:59 left. Despite the strong comeback, the Lady Broncos just ran out of energy. The Falcons outscored Western Brown 14-2 over the final 2:48 to secure a win the Lady Broncos made the visitors earn. “I’m very proud of how hard we all played. I don’t think tonight was an effort problem,” Fender said. “All our girls, experienced players and our new faces, all played very tough. Played very hard. But you got to give Clinton-Massie all the credit in the world.” Clinton-Massie (2-0) 61 Moyer 0 3 3, Machado 0 0 0, Smith 2 0 4, Uetrecht 0 6 6, Brackemyre 15 2 33, Smith 0 0 0, Santoro 1 0 2, Monnin 4 0 8, Fair 0 5 5.

McAfee competes in NXN Midwest Championship race On Sunday, Nov. 11th, Georgetown senior cross country runner Nick McAfee traveled to Terre Haute, IN to compete in the NXN Regional Cross Country Championship. The Nike Cross Nationals is a series of regional championship events that culminate with a national championship meet held in Eugene, OR. The Midwest region includes runners from Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, Michigan and Missouri. All high school athletes are invited to compete in the NXN Regional Championships, but athletes must gain acceptance into the championship race. This marked the third year in which McAfee earned entrance into the
championship race. Racing against the best runners from the five state Midwest region, McAfee placed a respectable 75th out of 246 runners. "The wind was very tough to run in, however, every runner has to race in the same conditions,” McAfee said of the race. “I just tried to tuck in behind some runners at the start in order to allow them to help break the wind for me. It is always fun and exciting to compete in such high caliber races. They help me to gain experience that I can draw from later. “I am thankful to my parents for investing in me and my running and allowing me the opportunity to compete."

Tressie Lewis shoots during the first half of Eastern’s season opening game with Valley last Saturday at Paint Valley High School.
Seigla, who scored 15 points and grabbed 12 rebounds, got the Lady Warriors a 43-41 lead to start the fourth quarter on a jumper from the block. “She’s gonna have to have those kind of games
and I think she will,” Burrows said of Seigla. “She’s a strong, physical type. A heck of a rebounder.” It would be the last lead the Lady Warriors would hold, however. Doddridge would hit a 3-
pointer the next possession down before she converted a fast break layup off an Eastern miss and was fouled. Her foul shot gave the Lady Indians a 47-43 lead with five and a half minutes left. The Lady Warriors would keep it close but just couldn’t get a stop. Valley built a six point lead, 57-51, with 59 seconds left after Coriell hit two free throws. Three point shots from Turner and Johnson -- who struggled shooting from beyond the arc as they hit just two of their 13 combined attempts -- in the final 24 seconds got the Lady Warriors closer but Coriell closed out the win at the line. “We can’t give up that many points,” Burrows said. “We scored, what, 57? I think that’s probably a lot of points for us. We gave up 61. We shouldn’t give up 61.” Eastern (0-1) 57 Johnson 2 3 8, Turner 3 2 9, Seigla 7 0 15, Purdy 0 0 0, Prine 2 0 6, Lewis 5 1 13, Ruckel 0 0 0, Bornstein 3 0 6, Boudreau 0 0 0, Towne 0 0 0.

Eastern: Young Lady Warriors play well but come up just short against Valley CONTINUED FROM PAGE 13 Two straight layups resulting from beating the Eastern press, the second a three point play by Taylor Skaggs, got the Lady Indians within four before a pair of Valley free throws cut the halftime lead for Eastern to two, 31-29. “We didn’t guard who we were supposed to guard,” Burrows said of the press. “We didn’t get on them quick enough.” The end of the first half foreshadowed what was to come in the second. The teams traded baskets for much of the third quarter and neither could open a lead of more than three, which happened when Lexie Doddridge hit one of two free throws to make it 38-35 Valley. A pullup Seigla jumper and a Bornstein layup got the Lady Warriors the lead back, 39-38. McKenzie Coriell, who scored a game best 19 points, nailed a 3-pointer to answer the Eastern baskets and give Valley a 41-39 lead they kept for just a handful of seconds as Bornstein grabbed a missed shot on the other end of the floor and put it back in to make 41-all at the end of three quarters. Bornstein led the way for the Lady Warriors group of youngsters who Burrows felt played pretty well but it was Seigla, the sophomore returning center, who was the Lady Warriors star.

selection by the Southern ConferenceBuckeye American Division coaches. Seigla decided on attending Ursuline after visiting the campus, which is 13 miles east of Cleveland in Northeast Ohio. “I liked the players a lot,” she said. “And one
my AAU teammates is going there.” The school, which plays NCAA Division II sports in the Great Midwest Athletic Conference, is a mostly women’s school with just nine percent of students being male. “It’s a little weird,” Seigla admitted of the
school’s mostly female population. “I guess I’ll just get used to it.” All in all, though, Seigla -- who plans to major in education -- is just happy to have the opportunity to play basketball on the next level at Ursuline. “It’s always been one of my goals,”she said.
A week after the girls basketball teams got together at North Adams High School, the Southern HIlls League boys basketball teams gathered at Eastern High School last Friday night for their annual preview. Again, a bigger Division I team was matched up with a smaller Division II team during the event. The three Brown County teams saw varying levels of success during the preview. In the night’s first game, Ripley battled LynchburgClay. The Blue Jays stayed within striking distance early but couldn’t hold off the Mustangs in the second of the two quarters played in each game.
When all was said and done the Blue Jays had lost to the Mustangs 37-19. Fayetteville took the court for the third, and middle, game of the night against West Union and wasted little time jumping out on top. By the time the first eight minutes of play were over, the Rockets had built a 26-10 lead they would carry over to a 48-21 win. Finally, in the evening’s nightcap, the host Warriors battled Whiteoak. For much of the first quarter of play the teams were never more than a few points a part despite the Warriors holding a lead nearly throughout. Eastern stretched their lead quickly in the second quarter of play and went on to pick up a 30-15 victory.

Creature Feature Make holiday traveling with your pet more enjoyable The Holidays are upon us once again. If you’re able to take pets with you while you’re visiting friends and family, there are a few important tips to remember that will make your visit more enjoyable for you, your hosts and your pet! Look over this checklist and give some thought to your holiday travel plans. If you’re not able to take the animals along, there are some wonderful local boarding facilities that can accommodate your pet for a reasonable rate. Be sure to make your reservations in advance, as the holidays are the busiest time of the year for boarding facilities. 1. Leash your dog, to prevent injury, avoid loss, and as a consideration for other people. 2. Crate train your pet. The crate actually becomes security to your pet. Keep the pet crated when the vehicle is moving for security and safety. The crate will help protect the pet in case of an accident. 3. Be sure the pet wears a collar, Rabies Tag, and ID Tag in case it should become lost. 4. Take the usual food. Sudden diet changes are the most common causes of vomiting and diarrhea. Never assume you will be able to find special diets away from home – carry ample amounts. Stick to a routine feeding schedule. 5. A supply of drinking water should also be considered to allow gradual change. Simply take a gallon jug – add new water to the jug as the home water is used out of the container. 6. Don't forget any prescribed medications required by your pet. 7. Take the pet's vacci-

nations records and rabies certificate. Many motels and campgrounds are now requiring proof of vaccinations. 8. When driving, stop every two hours to exercise the pet and give water. 9. Tranquilizers and car-sickness medications are available from out hospital. Over-the-counter products will not work. They work best if given on an empty stomach. Do not feed the pet for 4-6 hours prior to administering the medication. We usually recommend only feeding the pet once you reach each day's destination each day for best
effect. 10. Be responsible for your pet's eliminations. Take it to suitable places for urination. Carry a supply of plastic bags which can be placed on the hand-then turned inside out after the stool is grasped in your hand. l l. Never leave your pet unattended in the car. 12. Consider the feelings of others before taking your pet to visit friends or relatives. Be sure they have no allergy problems and really do not mind the pet accompanying you. Otherwise, everyone will have a better time (including your pet) if the pet is left in the care of a proper boarding facility.

for Kirschner to pick the Musketeers. “The coach made it seem like they really needed me. They make it seem like the left handers are the key to success in college programs,” he said. “Him feeling like he needed me made me feel like that I belonged there.” It seems to be a mutual sentiment from the Xavier perspective as Kirschner believes he’ll get the chance to start as freshman. “Brad gives us another really good lefty in this class,” Xavier coach Scott Googins said in a press release on GoXavier.com. “He has a good fast ball and a breaking ball that should work right away. On top of his ‘stuff,’ the biggest asset he brings is his competitiveness.” That competitiveness, something both Folkerth and Daly mentioned among his strongest attributes, has gotten Kirschner just where he wanted to be. “When I was little everybody in Ripley liked basketball so I was like, ‘I'm gonna like baseball instead,’” he said. “I've always made it my goal to be the first Division I athlete out of Ripley.”

BASKETBALL ROUNDUP Girls Basketball Fayetteville rolls to season opening win The Lady Rockets opened their season with a dominant 93-24 win over Williamsburg on Tuesday evening. Seeing their first true action as a unit, the Lady Rockets eight player rotation paid dividends. “It was the first time we got to take a real good look at the rotation, with scrimmages being ran with (a) running clock, (and) the real clock was nice to use and see the result,” Fayetteville coach Toby Sheets said. It was a dominant performance for the Lady Rockets as they shot 56 percent from the field as a team, pulled down 49 rebounds, dished out 29 assists and collected 26 steals. All eight Lady Rockets scored in the win, led by Makayla Rosselot’s 23 points and eight assists. Lincoln Smyth added 15 points and a career-high 12 rebounds.

Did a better job attacking their zone. Give Amelia credit. They played hard.” Up by just five at the intermission, the Lady G-Men, led by Jesse Kidwell’s 16 points and Madison Pack’s 10 points, found more success against the Lady Baron zone defense as they pulled away for the win that was a good learning experience. “It was a good game because I think we learned a lot from it,” Cropper said. “It’s good when you can win and also learn.”

The 5-foot-7 senior guard signed to continue her basketball career at Ursuline College on Tuesday night before the Lady Broncos opened their season against ClintonMassie. Being able to not only reach the personal goal of playing college basketball but to do it before her senior season began was a weight off of Seigla’s shoulders. “It was a relief to know and have it all planned out,” she said on Tuesday evening.

Brown Marmorated Stink Bug
B R O A D S H E E T
We have a new bug. Well it is not completely new to Ohio, but it is becoming more of an issue. In last week’s CORN newsletter, OSU Extension Specialist provided information about this invasive insect and a way to report it if you find it. The following is part of the article that can be found in the CORN newsletter. If you would like to be added to the mailing list for this weekly newsletter during the growing season and every other week during the winter, send me an erequest to mail dugan.46@osu.edu The Brown Marmorated Stink Bug is being found in field crops, fruit and vegetable fields. These stink bugs are also known to invade homes, apartments, businesses, barns, and other man-made structures in the fall. To see an updated map of where BMSB has been detected in Ohio crops, follow this link: http://www.oardc.ohiostate.edu/BMS/viewdata.asp. Because detections in buildings often precedes invasion in nearby crop fields, it is important to collect reports of stink bugs inside buildings. While finding these bugs in homes may be unsettling to residents, reporting the finds does allow us to get a clearer picture of their distribu-
DAVID DUGAN tion in Ohio. If you see BMSB this winter or spring in your home or other structure, use this OSUE site to report it: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/bmsb. The report form has 11 questions regarding location, number of insects, time of invasion, and contact information. BMSB can be identified by alternating black and white bands on the antennae, and black and white bands along the edge of the abdomen that shows under the wings, as well as faint black and white banding on the legs (images can be found at our Ag Crops Insects page under the soybean tab, http://entomology.osu.ed u/ag/). To confirm the of BMSB, presence please send your contact information along with a few dead specimens in a tissue padded pill box or other small container to: BMSB ID Program, OSU Extension, 1512 S. US Highway 68, Suite B100, Urbana, OH 43078. Dates to Remember Small Farm College The program starts in January with two locations to choose from.

Online Subscriptions Are NOW AVAILABLE!!
What do you need from a plant? BY Faye Mahaffey Master Gardner Volunteer As the roller coaster Ohio weather treats us to 20 degree mornings and 55 degree afternoons, I hope you had a chance to walk around and make your list of changes in the landscape for next season! In a recent article in Ohio Gardener, Scott Beuerlein shares your 3 choices when making improvements in your yard: 1. Remove ugly things, 2. install pretty things, 3. Move pretty things around. Beuerlein believes that removing ugly things might be the hardest choice. Gardeners loathe digging up and tossing living plants – even the ugliest ones! Don’t save it because it came from your old garden, or that it came from your favorite Aunt. If it’s ugly, it’s compost! Installing pretty things usually involves shopping trips to your local nursery. Beuerlein recommends picking two or three of your best nurseries and trying to go to them regularly throughout the season. I really like this tip, don’t you?) This is the best way to find new things that will guarantee a full season of interest. Establish a relationship with the smartest person at each nursery and during each visit ask them what is currently exciting them the most. Work these new acquisitions into the places ugly plants once occupied. Moving pretty plants around will have to wait until spring. Make a note on your list of what you would like to move and where. I still have some flags in my daylily bed to remind me that a few culti-
vars need divided. What do you need from a plant? In my garden, a plant needs to be low maintenance. I don’t like a “needy” plant. A plant that joins my garden needs to be able to survive on its own. If it needs extra water, food, or protection, it won’t be on my list. Many gardeners buy a plant that comes with “must do” chores with good intentions, but who are we kidding? Do you really have time to attend to its needs? Next a plant in my garden needs to be able to take weather extremes in stride. Every growing season we complain about the weather knowing that we have no way to control Mother Nature. Too wet, too dry, too hot, too cold - welcome to Ohio! Lastly, we all need our gardens to make us look good. Come on, admit it. We want our plants to be attractive, but we can’t expect them to flower all the time! Gardeners need to be smart about what plants they choose to achieve a garden that has blooms all season long. Reading the plant labels carefully and doing some extra research will pay off in the end. How is the gift list coming along? A subscription to a gardening magazine, a gift certificate to a local nursery, a new set of garden shears, and a hip holster (holds my garden tools and my cell phone) have been added to my list. Have a gardener on your list? Consider a terrarium kit, gardening gloves, or an elevated raised bed for an aging gardener who can’t bend over as easily as they used to. Are you on a limited budget? Consider
gifting you time! Planting, weeding, trimming, dividing – it all happens in a growing season. You could even volunteer to help with eradication of an invasive plant like garlic mustard or honeysuckle! I am heading outside today to finish up the holiday lights. I turned a small tomato cage upside down over a pot and secured the bottom of the cage with wire. After wrapping the cage with a string of lights and wiring a bow on top, it looks great! I leave my cobalt blue pots on the porch year round, and love to insert branches for some winter interest. I thought I might try some strings of lights in the ornamental grasses in my Wind Garden this year and some blue lights on my bottle tree. I continue to replace my old strings with LED lights so that my husband doesn’t’ faint when the electric bill arrives in January! The gardening seminars will continue in 2013 at the Fincastle campus of Southern State Community College. The dates include: January 17 – Roses, February 21 – Miniature Gardens, March 21 – Native Plants/Identification, April 18 – Vertical Gardens, and May 16 – Water Gardens. Have you been enjoying the fruits of your labor in the garden? We enjoyed some bread and butter pickles on Thanksgiving and the pot of chili was especially tasty thanks to the addition of the chili sauce (Ball Book). After a walk in the woods over the weekend, I have pulled out the tree identification books. Identifying a tree by its bark is a challenge for me, how about you?

New stink bug could make a stink with Ohio farmers
America’s farmers can support local school district with $2,500 donation $110,000 invested toward education in Ohio through the Monsanto Fund Elementary and high schools in 26 states currently receive less state funding in the 2012-13 school year in comparison to last year’s numbers. In 35 states, school funding now stands below 2008 levels, according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. But thanks to the generosity of farmers through America’s Farmers Grow CommunitiesSM, $555,000 was donated to schools nationwide in 2012. For the third consecutive year, America’s Farmers Grow Communities, sponsored by the Monsanto Fund, will give eligible farmers the opportunity to win a $2,500 donation to direct to their local school or
favorite nonprofit organization. With limited resources available, community donations help schools upgrade necessary equipment that contributes to a progressive learning environment. Last year, 6 farmers directed $15,000 to help improve Ohio education through Grow Communities. “Rural schools are the heart of America, and today’s farmers are partnering with the Monsanto Fund to invest in the next generation through education,” said Deborah Patterson, the Monsanto Fund president. “Budget cuts have put a strain on rural education, but a $2,500 Grow Communities donation can help schools reach fundraising goals, purchase new technology equipment and provide support where there is a need.” Additionally, the Monsanto Fund invested $2.3 million into education this
year through America’s Farmers Grow Rural EducationSM. This program gives farmers the opportunity to nominate a public school district in their community to compete for a grant of either $10,000 or $25,000 to enhance education in the areas of math and/or science. Now through Nov. 30, 2012, farmers can enter at www.growcommunities.co m or by calling 1-877-2673332. The Monsanto Fund will select one winner at random from each of the eligible counties and announce winning farmers and recipient nonprofits in January 2013. America’s Farmers Grow Communities and Grow Rural Education highlights the important contributions farmers make every day to our society to help them positively impact their communities. This program is part of the Monsanto Fund’s overall effort to support rural America.

Long time Brown County resident Jacqueline Felder was excited when she discovered help through Adams Brown Community Action Partnership (ABCAP) to start a small business. Jacqueline contacted ABCAP’s Business Development Department and was enrolled into the JOLI Program, a program that helps individuals start a small business through trainings and grant funds. While enrolled in the program Jacqueline completed a Business Education Class that covered financing, marketing, goal setting, cash flow management, record keeping, financial statements and more – all free and all designed to help Jacqueline understand how to start a small business. In addition, she also completed a QuickBooks Class to help her manage her business records using a software program and a Financial Literacy Course to provide her with a better understanding of her personal finances. In addition to the business trainings required through ABCAP Jacqueline also attended and graduated from Ashworth College with a Certification in Professional Massage Techniques. Jacqueline completed all of

her trainings and received her grant funds which enabled her to purchase the essential supplies, equipment, and other necessities required to open her small business, Relaxation Techniques.
