Little asks to drop Hensley death penalty Brown County Prosecutor Jessica Little filed a motion Feb. 1 to remove the death penalty from Joseph Hensley’s case. Highland County Common Pleas Judge Rocky Coss has been assigned to hear the motion on Feb 15. Bret Crow, Public Information Officer for the State Supreme Court, said that Judge Thomas Nurre will return to the Hensley case if Coss approves the motion to remove the death penalty. Nurre recused himself from the Hensley case when Hensley recanted his testimony that he killed John Carpenter at the direction of Dallas Tincher. Hensley’s action broke the plea bargain he had made with Little for the death penalty to be
parole for Hensley at his trial, scheduled for next month. She added that the reason the death penalty being dropped for Hensley is because Tincher did not face it during his trial. “It was an issue of proportionality”, Little said. “Two people facing charges for the same offense cannot face different penalties.” Tincher was convicted on conspiracy and complicity to commit aggravated murder charges on Jan. 6. He was set to be sentenced on Jan. 27, the same day Hensley The Brown County Press/ The Brown County Press/ was expected to plead guilty in SUBMITTED PHOTO SUBMITTED PHOTO exchange for a sentence of 15 Joseph Hensley Judge Rocky Coss years to life after testifying against Tincher during the trial. dropped in exchange for his tes- certified to hear death penalty However, Hensley sent a letter timony. cases. to Tincher attorney Gary That put the death penalty Little said that she will now Rosenhoffer on Jan. 25 claiming back in play, and Nurre is not seek a sentence of life without his innocence and alleging that

Sun Group NEWSPAPERS
Six finalists for Western Brown Superintendent named by board By Martha Jacob The Brown County Press When Western Brown superintendent Jeff Royalty resigned his position on Dec. 13, 2010 and informed the school board of his decision, the board began looking for his replacement right away. Royalty accepted a position with the Ohio Department of Education as a regional coordinator for “Race to the Top” in Southwest Ohio.” James Frazier, superintendent of Brown County Educational Service Center
was named interim superintendent of Western Brown. Then about a week ago Tom Durbin, a retired superintendent, replaced him as interim superintendent pending the hiring of a permanent one. According to Frazier, the deadline for applications was Jan. 24, 2011. He said the board received 14 applications “We were very happy with the number of applications we received,” Frazier. “During the Jan. 31st board meeting we entered into executive session and narrowed the num-
Regarding the effect of Hensley’s allegations on the Tincher case, Little said “I’m confident that justice was done at the Tincher trial. He was rightfully convicted and I’m confident he will not get a new trial as a result of Hensley’s letter.” Current Hensley attorneys Bruce Wallace and Nick Ring are expected to leave the Hensley case at the Feb. 15 hearing. “We will be moving to withdraw as his attorneys at the first possible hearing date”, Wallace said during Hensley’s would-be sentencing hearing on Jan. 27. Hensley has included Wallace and Ring in his allegations of a conspiracy against him. Hensley’s trial is set to begin on March 14. A motion hearing for Tincher’s new trial request is set for March 24.

his confession was tortured out of him and that he did not kill John Carpenter on Tincher’s orders. Hensley also alleged that there is a conspiracy against him by court and county officials. His actions caused further proceedings on both cases to be delayed as Tincher’s attorneys sought to use the letter to support their motion for a new trial for Tincher. Hensley was moved to the Clermont County jail in Batavia on Monday, Jan. 31 on the joint recommendation of Little and the Brown County Sheriff’s Office. “If Hensley thinks there is a conspiracy against him here in Brown County, he can enjoy the accommodations of the Clermont County Jail until his trial”, Little said.

Kathy Lang has pleaded guilty to three counts of theft in office. The former Ripley utilities clerk must also make more than a million dollars worth of restitution to the village of Ripley and the state. Lang was indicted on Dec. 13, 2010 on three counts of theft in office and seven counts of tampering with records. She admitted in court on Jan 31 to stealing $952,619.24 from the village of Ripley between January of 2006 and October of 2009. She was ordered to pay that money back, along with $121,982.80 in expenses associated with the special audit done by the Ohio Auditor of State. Lang was asked her plea after each count was read to her by Common Pleas Judge Scott Gusweiler. She was calm after replying “guilty” to count one but then appeared to be overcome with emotion. Her replies of “guilty” to counts two and three were made between sobs. Her family members also wept during her plea. Lang will be sentenced in March and faces a maximum of 15 years in prison, five years for each count.

State Reps. Danny Bubp (R-West Union) and Terry Johnson (R-McDermott) recently introduced legislation to amend Ohio's concealed carry laws to make them simpler and consistent with other states.

I don’t think that responsible gun owners in Ohio should be penalized with stricter regulations than gun owners of any other state.” “When it comes to fine-tuning Ohioans’ Second Amendment rights or allowing them to protect their families, I think it is very important that we make our concealed carry laws as thorough as possible,” said Johnson. This legislation was originally introduced during the previous General Assembly as Senate Bill 239, which received the support of the National Rifle Association, the Buckeye Firearms Association and Ohioans for Concealed Carry. House Bill 45 will now be assigned to a House committee, where it will undergo further consideration.

Georgetown police officer seeks community’s help in raising $2,500 for continued training CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 “I have to continue my training with Dave Johnson, from the Brown County Sheriff’s Department, added Inlow, “He operates the Southern Ohio Police K-9 in Russellville.” Inlow is turning to the community for help with the continued training and asking for help. The K-9 unit must be self sufficient and not dependent on the department’s budget. Although Gabber wears a badge and is considered a police officer, he does not receive a salary. “The department has helped a lot, even when they couldn’t afford it,” Inlow added. “ Jamie Coburn has provided all Gabber’s dog food so far, but now I’m forced to find a way to raise $2,500 by Feb. 28th so I can test for my certification.” “I am turning to the community for help. I’ve started a special Canine Fund and plan on tracking every single donation and submit a printed statement to the public showing how every dime was spent.” Patrolman Inlow said that a special account has been set up at National Bank and Trust.

State Representatives Danny Bubp (R-West Union) and Terry Johnson (R-McDermott) recently introduced legislation to amend Ohio’s concealed carry laws to make them simpler and consistent with other states. Specifically, House Bill 45 will simplify the provisions related to the carrying of firearms in vehicles by eliminating the “micromanaging” provisions that dictate where a gun must be stored in a vehicle, which allows law-abiding citizens to avoid accidental violations. It retains the current procedures that are followed when a licensee is pulled over and approached by a law enforcement official. The legislation would also permit license holders to carry in establishments that serve alcohol provided that the individual is not consuming alcohol. It does not change the current law prohibiting an individual from possessing a firearm while under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Establishments would still have the authority to prohibit con-

By Martha Jacob The Brown County Press Members of the FayettevillePerry Local School District board members voted 3-2 to not renew Superintendent Roy Hill’s contract with the district at the Jan. 13 meeting Superintendent Hill’s contract expires on July 31, 2011. Board members who voted against a new contract with Hill included board president Betty Rowlands and board members Garry E. Luke and Kathleen Johnson. Both Jim Holden and Angela Murphy voted to renew the contract. Hill began his career with Fayetteville-Perry in January of 2004. School boards evaluate the performance of a presiding superintendent each year in order to assist both the board and the superintendent in the proper discharge of the responsibilities and to enable the board to provide the district with the best possible leadership. Hill was evaluated by all the board members on Dec. 16, 2010 and received a near perfect score. The evaluation includes areas like community relationships, relationship with board members and business skills. Board member Holden offered his reasons for wanting to renew Hill’s contract. “I think that Roy has done an outstanding job,” Holden said in a phone interview. “He has never allowed this board to be embarrassed at any meeting because he was and is, always prepared. “He always goes that extra mile for anyone for any reason.
He is truly an honest outstanding man.” During the executive session of the January meeting, Holden said he asked the others on the board their reason for not renewing Hill’s contract. “Any time a person has been elected by the people to do a job, I feel members should be able to explain their actions, at all times and I believe these two members need to do just that,” Holden stated. According to Roland, she explained that she had discussed her reasons for not renewing his contract with the board in executive session on a couple of occasions. When contacted by phone, Roland stated that because the discussions took place in executive session, she did not have to relay her reason. “I have discussed my reasons periodically with the board, long before this vote was taken,” Roland stated, “and I did give my reason to the board. “But I do not have to discuss it with anyone else. I can’t speak for the other two members who voted against renewing the superintendent’s contract, but I do not have to give a reason to anyone.” Holden added that he is very pleased with the job Hill has done so far. “Roy Hill has been a good ambassador for the school and has gotten us through some tough times with the construction process and the lay-offs that we had to make,” Hill said “In my opinion, we have a good superintendent right now. There’s been a lot of discussion about this issue in the community and I have some concerns

After a long debate in Washington, we passed bipartisan legislation that will ensure that no American receives a tax increase this year. And starting with your first pay-check in 2011, you’ll likely notice that your paycheck is a little larger thanks to the payroll tax cut signed into law last year. For example, according to estimates by the U.S. Treasury Department, a married couple living in Wilmington with one spouse earning $28,000 and their partner earning $24,500 would receive about $1,050. The average American worker can expect to see $695 extra in take-home pay. But fighting for lower tax rates is only half the battle. With tax season approaching, here are some practical tips to help you maximize your returns and take advantage of new tax incentives. 1. File early and electronically. The longer you wait to file your tax return, the longer Uncle Sam holds on to your money. A list of trusted, free electronic filing options can be found at your local IRS office or on the web at www.irs.gov/efile. This is a painless way to file and you can even sign electronically. Make sure you have all your paperwork – including receipts and canceled checks – so you can get started once your W2 and 1099 forms arrive. 2. Use volunteer tax preparation sites. If you do not have Internet access, don’t worry. You can also visit your nearest Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) site where volunteers can help lowincome, elderly, and other residents navigate the system and prepare taxes. These volunteers do not charge for their services. To find a VITA near you, call 1800-906-9887.
SHERROD BROWN 3. Study new tax incentives for 2010 returns. Tax incentives are available for first time homebuyers, people who have purchased new vehicles (including motor homes), college students, people who have made energy-efficiency home improvements, and taxpayers who have purchased some computer technology equipment. 4. File or back-file for the American Opportunity Tax Credit (AOTC). Eligible taxpayers – parents and students who are paying part of the cost of the first four years of college – may qualify for the maximum annual credit of $2,500 per student. In Ohio, there were an estimated 894,000 returns that should have reflected eligibility for the AOTC, but only 313,000 returns actually included this tax benefit. But, it’s not too late. Ohio families may back file to receive this credit due to a twoyear extension passed by the Senate last December. 5. File for the EITC if you’re eligible. VITA volunteers can help you claim all eligible tax credits. Working Ohioans – families with gross incomes less than $49,078 – may also be eligible for the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). The EITC was established in order to reduce the disproportionate Social Security tax burden on working Americans. It provides tax refunds to low- and moderateincome workers and their families. According to the IRS, 951,447 Ohioans saved $2.04 billion last year through this federal tax credit. Tax filers throughout our
state will benefit from major tax cuts promoted by Democrats in Congress. Many Ohioans may be surprised to learn that President Obama and the Democrat-led Congress cut taxes by $509 billion – which puts today’s federal taxes at the lowest level since 1950. A great deal has changed since the 1950s, but there are some constants. Homeownership is still a fundamental goal of families in Ohio and throughout our nation. The first-time homebuyer tax credit provisions saved American tax payers more than $10 million and enabled Ohioans to achieve this key facet of the American dream. A college education still enhances opportunities for economic success. With the AOTC providing significant savings to Ohio college students and their families, we can continue equipping Ohioans with the skills needed to lead in the 21st century. Small businesses are still the engine of our economy. Small business owners – who create two-thirds of all jobs in the United States – also received a tax cut this past year. We fought to pass the Small Business Jobs Act and provided payroll tax forgiveness for employers hiring unemployed workers under the Hiring Incentive to Restore Employment Act. Legislation enacted in Washington has a real impact on real lives. Let’s move forward with our economic recovery and ensure that Ohioans have the resources needed to support their families. By providing tax cuts that bolster middle class families and offering support to Ohio families who need it most, we can continue to make our country stronger.

Fans don’t let fans drive drunk The Brown County Safe Communities Coalition is reminding football fans that if your Super Bowl celebration includes alcohol, make the right decision before kickoff and always have a designated driver. This local message complements that national Fans Don’t Let Fans Drive Drunk message supported by the National Football League (NFL), the U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD), the HERO Campaign and Techniques for Effective Alcohol Management (TEAM) Coalition. “We’re reminding everyone that real Super Bowl Fans Don’t Let Fans Drive Drunk,” said Sue Basta, Project Director for the Brown County Safe Communities Program. “If your postseason game plan includes alcohol, make sure you have a designated driver in your starting line-up. We are asking all party hosts and bar owners to take extra good care of designated drivers this year. Designated drivers make sure everyone gets home safely. For taking on such an important responsibility, they should be rewarded.” The Fans Don’t Let Fans Drive Drunk message supports the league-wide designateddriver campaign called Responsibility Has Its Rewards. Celebrating its eighth season in 2010, the campaign encourages fans to participate in designateddriver programs supported by beer and concessionaire companies at every NFL stadium nationwide. Throughout the season at all 31 NFL stadiums, more than 170,000 fans made the responsible decision by pledging to be designated drivers this season. Those fans now have a chance to earn the ultimate reward – a trip to Super Bowl XLV® in North Texas at Cowboys Stadium. The Responsibility Has Its Rewards Super Bowl XLV winners will be the Designated Drivers for the Season from the AFC Champion and NFC Champion teams. And the Designated Driver for the

Making sure designated drivers know how much we appreciate their responsible decision is what will make this year’s celebration extra special – and extra safe.” If you are hosting a Super Bowl party: Make sure all of your guests designate their sober drivers before kick-off or help arrange ride-sharing with other sober drivers Find unique ways to recognize the designated drivers at your party o Give them a great spot to watch the game o Whatever non-alcoholic beverage they are drinking, make sure their glass is always full o Let them have the first pass at the buffet table o Make sure their cars are easy to access when it is time to start driving people home Serve plenty of food Offer a variety of non-alcoholic choices like soft drinks, juice, and water Serve one drink at a time and serve measured drinks Only serve alcohol to guests over 21 years of age Determine ahead of time when you’ll stop serving alcohol, such as one hour before the end of the party or at the end of the third quarter of the game (just like NFL stadiums) and begin serving coffee and dessert Add the numbers of local cab companies into your phone so they are just one touch away Take appropriate steps to prevent anyone from driving while impaired Be prepared for guests to

Attorney General DeWine warns consumers to protect personal information Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine encouraged consumers to guard their personal information online in recognition of Data Privacy Day which was Jan. 28. "Protecting personal information is an important part of keeping Ohio families safe from financial fraud," said Attorney General Mike DeWine. "As consumers share more data online, taking the time to consider using strong privacy and security settings can help Ohioans better protect their most personal information." Consumers can protect their personal information by taking the following steps: Know your privacy settings. If you use social networking sites, make sure you carefully control how much information is available to the public. If your privacy settings are set to "default," you may be sharing more than you realize. Regardless of your privacy settings, do not post your birth place, birth year, vacation plans, home address, or password clues on your profile. Configure your wireless router to encrypt data. If you use wireless Internet, be sure to activate your router's encryption feature to better protect information you transmit over the Web, such as account logins, passwords and credit card numbers. For help configuring your router, visit www.onguardonline.gov/top-
ics/wireless-security.aspx. Don't assume that public "hot spots" are secure. Café, hotel, and airport "hot spots" are convenient, but assume that other people can see anything you view or send over a public wireless network. To teach children and teens about online safety, the Ohio Attorney General's Office conducts presentations to children, parents, administrators, and parent-teacher associations across the state. The training covers cyber-bullying, online predators, and social networking. To learn more or to file a consumer complaint, contact the Attorney General's Office at

It’s a little known fact that one of the nicest gift shops in all of Brown County is located in the Ohio Veterans Home in Georgetown. The shop opened in April 2004 and has shown a profit since the day it opened according to Pat Michalski, volunteer services and coordinator of marketing designs at the Veterans Home. “Our shop is operated by volunteers from the community and several of our residents,” Michalski said. “And all the proceeds from the shop go directly to the Volunteer Committee and stays right here
at the home.” “We use the money to have parties, take outings, buy bingo prizes and many other events for our residents held throughout the year”she added. Michalski said the gift shop is very important to the veterans who live at the home. “Most of our residents can’t just run out and buy a gift for their wife, or their grandchild’s birthday, they depend on our shop for those things,” Michalski said. Michalski said she works very hard to purchase only the most unique and reasonably priced items that she can. “I don’t want these things just sitting on a shelf, so I price them to move quickly,” she added.
She said the top selling items are her purses and jewelry, which are both eye-catching and totally unique. “I can almost guarantee the jewelry I have in the shop is unlike anything anyone has ever seen,” she said, “and we sell a lot of jewelry. We also have over 100 purses to choose from at any given time.” The gift shop also has a large array of unique glass pieces, men and women’s clothing including shirts and sweatshirts with pictures of the Veterans Home on them and many, many military items. “We have beautiful flags, wind spinners and a huge selection of patriotic neck ties,” she said. “We offer scarfs like no

It also gives people a quick way of obtaining easyto-understand tax tips. Apple users can download the free IRS2Go application by visiting the Apple App Store. Android users can visit the Android Marketplace to download the free IRS2Go app. “This phone app is a first step for us,” Shulman said. “We will look for additional ways to expand and refine our use of smartphones and other new technologies to help meet the needs of taxpayers.” The mobile app, among a handful in the federal government, offers a number of safe and secure ways to help taxpayers.

information. First, taxpayers enter a Social Security number, which is masked and encrypted for security purposes. Next, taxpayers pick the filing status they used on their tax return. Finally, taxpayers enter the amount of the refund they expect from their 2010 tax return. For people who e-file, the refund function of the phone app will work within about 72 hours after taxpayers receive an e-mail acknowledgement saying the IRS received their tax return. For people filing paper tax returns, longer processing times mean they will need to wait three to four weeks before they can check their refund status. About 70 percent of the 142 million individual tax returns were filed electronically last year. Get Tax Updates Phone app users enter their e-mail address to automatically get daily tax tips. Tax Tips are simple, straightforward tips and reminders to help with tax planning and preparation. Tax Tips are issued daily during the tax filing season and periodically during the rest of the year. The plain English updates cover topics such as free tax help, child tax credits, the Earned Income Tax Credit, education credits and other topics.

Fayetteville man arrested on burglary charges A Fayetteville man is in the Clermont County jail following his arrest on burglary charges. According to a press release from the Clermont County Sheriff’s Office, 30 year old Eric Lewis was arrested on Monday, Jan. 31. A homeowner in Wayne Township in Clermont County apparently returned home to find Lewis inside his house. The homeowner told investigators that Lewis ran out the back door and jumped into a car. The homeowner followed the car and gave police a
description of the car Lewis was driving. That car was stopped by the Ohio Highway Patrol on U.S. 50 a short time later. Investigators say that a gun safe taken from the home was in plain view in the back seat. Lewis was taken to the Clermont County Jail and was charged with one count of Aggravated burglary, a second degree felony. The investigation is continuing in an attempt to identify and locate an additional person who investigators believe was with Lewis at the scene of the Burglary.

Something To Think about TOM MEGIE DIRECTOR
DYING WITHOUT A WILL When a person dies, the distribution of the estate will be decided in one of two ways - his way or the state’s way. The choice is up to the individual. If a person has prepared a vaild will, it will be used to determine appropriate distribution of the estate. If a person has not prepared a valid will, he or she is said to have died intestate. In cases of intestacy where there are heirs, the states have law which legislators have contrived in an effort to surmise how persons might have chosen to divide their worldly goods; if only they had written a will. In essence, if you don’t write a will, the state has written one for you. The problem is that the legislature has one law to cover all intestacies and most likely will not have anticipated your exact
wishes. In addition, in cases of intestacy where there are no heirs, the estate will eventually revert to the state government.

HOLY GHOST In John 16 Jesus is speaking about the work of the Holy Ghost. In verse 7 He is referred to as the Comforter. Jesus said: “...for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.” The Holy Ghost came in great power on the day of Pentecost. The Bible tells us in Acts 2 that the apostles: “...were all filled with the Holy Ghost...” Jesus was speaking about this event ahead of time in John 16. Look at verse 8: “And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:” These are the three works of the Holy Ghost in this world, not in the saved but in the unsaved world. Verses 9-11: “Of sin, because they believe not on me; (10) Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; (11) Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.” Of course, you know that the prince of this world is Satan. In Genesis 3 it tells us that the seed of the woman, that is Jesus, would bruise the head of the serpent, which is Satan. That took place when Christ was crucified and that is what you are reading in verse 11. Satan only has a certain amount of time before he is thrown into the lake of fire for all eternity. Those who follow him, that is those who will not accept Christ, will also follow him into that lake of fire spoken of in Revelation 20:15. Don’t you be one of them. Now, after Christ ascended back into heaven, the Holy Ghost was sent to work with the disciples of Christ of both then and now. However, in John 16 Christ had not yet been crucified and He was telling His apostles things which were to come. Verses 12-13: “I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth...” Ladies and gentlemen, all truth means 100% truth. I have had people tell me that you cannot really know the truth. I am telling you that this Holy Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, is 100% truth of what we need in this world. And we need to hear and to learn about the person of the Holy Ghost. He came to indwell the believer as He came to indwell the church on the day of Pentecost. He empowers the church to do the will of
DR. CHARLES SMITH MT. ORAB BIBLE BAPTIST CHURCH www.bbcmtorab.com God. However, at the time of verse 12 Jesus told His apostles they could not bear what He had to say. That was because the Holy Ghost had not yet come into them. In verses 14-15 Jesus told them: “He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.” Did you get that? Jesus said that “all” that the Father has are His. What you are reading is the equality of the Godhead. Jesus is equal with the Father; the Holy Ghost is equal with Jesus and the Father. All three, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are equal in all things. If you do not believe in the importance of the Holy Ghost will you look with me in Luke 12:10? Jesus said: “And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven.” What is the blaspheming of the Holy Ghost? Look in Luke 11:44. This is speaking about the scribes and Pharisees who were attributing the work of Jesus to Satan. But how did Jesus do the mighty works which He had done? He had laid all His power aside when He left heaven to become a man. When He was baptized, the Holy Ghost descended from heaven in the form of a dove and lit upon Him and indwelled Him. All the miracles which Jesus performed He performed after He was baptized. He performed them through the power of the Holy Ghost. Read about it again in Matthew 12:28-32. When a person receives Christ and the Holy Ghost indwells them, it is a miracle. Be careful what you say about them and about God’s church!

same year as the veterans home, in 2003, but has remained empty until now. The new 22-bed hospice unit will give Ohio Veterans access to quality, end-of-life care, according to Jan Bucholz, president of Stein Hospice board. “Stein Hospice is a not-forprofit community based hospice that has been around for over 30 years,” Bucholz told the large crowd at the ribbon cutting ceremony held Thursday, Jan. 27. “For the past 10 years we have had the rare privilege to work with the Sandusky Ohio Veterans Home, and the rela-

The Brown County Press/MARTHA B. JACOB
Participating in the ribbon cutting during the recent opening of the New Hospice Unit at the Ohio Veterans Home, Georgetown were (l-r) John Kaeser, Jr., Stein Hospice board member, Drew Vogel, Administrator of Ohio Veterans HomeGeorgetown, Shawn Taylor, Director of Nursing, Stein Hospice, Jan Bucholz, President of Stein Hospice, Rick Hatcher, Superintendent, Ohio Veterans Homes, Thomas Moe, Director of Ohio Department of Veterans Services, State Representative Danny Bubp, Danielle Nameth, representative for US Senator Sherrod Brown, Gary Abernathy, representative for US Senator Rob Portman and Jeremy Howland, representative for Congressman Steve Austria.
tionship has been remarkable. It has taught us so very much about life, about veterans and what is necessary to bring out the best in others and ourselves.” Initially the hospice will create 15 full-time equivalent and four part-time jobs. The workforce is slated to double as the number of hospice patients increases. Guest speaker for the event was Thomas N. Moe, Director of the Ohio Department of Veterans Services. Moe, a member of the Ohio Veterans Hall of Fame spent 30 years of distinguished military service in both the US Navy and the US Air Force. He was presented with the third-highest award for combat valor, the Silver Star, not once, but twice. In 1968 his F-4 Phantom was forced down by a weapons malfunction over Vietnam and he spent five years as a POW, released during Operation Homecoming in 1973. “This additional specialized care to vets comes with no additional costs to the Ohio tax payers,” Moe said. “This partnership with Stein Hospice is a win-win for all concerned. Stein Hospice has provided the staff for medically necessary care, doctors, nurses, and social workers while the veterans home provides house keeping, laundry and the facility.” Moe added that future employees for the facility will be hired from the Brown County area. “This is the first of its kind, of 138 state Veterans Homes nationwide,” Moe added. In addition to serving as a state model, Stein recently received national recognition for its service to veterans. “We honor Veterans,” Bucholz said, “This innovative public-private collaborative will benefit the veterans in Ohio.” The Ohio Veterans Homes in Sandusky and Georgetown
are state-operated nursing homes opened to all honorably discharged Veterans who have been Ohio residents for at least one year during his or her lifetime. The Georgetown facility offers 168 nursing home beds and was recognized in 2010 by the Ohio Department of Health for higher-than-average family member satisfaction, and by the US Department of Veterans Affairs for its consistently high level of care. Rick Hatcher, superintendent of the Georgetown Veterans Home, said he was pleased that no additional funds were necessary to get

the wing opened. “This wing has set empty for too many years,” Hatcher said at the ceremony. “This opening is a credit to a lot of people who have been with the project for many years.” State Representative Danny Bubp spoke briefly at the event and expressed his pride in having such a distinguished gentleman present as Mr. Moe. “I can’t think of anyone I would rather see in charge of all this than someone who was under fire and wounded during the call of duty,” Bubp said. “Someone who knows what its like to serve. Today is the beginning of a great partnership.”

The Eastern Lady Warriors used a great defensive effort in the second half to lift themselves to a 54-34 win over the North Adams Lady Devils. "We didn't do a good job of stopping their penetration in the first half," said Eastern coach John Burrows. "We just didn't play well in the half court defensively." Amber Yockey sank two free throws and added a layup in the early going, giving Eastern a 40 edge. Ashley DeBord and Emily Fite answered with baskets for North Adams, tying the count at 4-4 three minutes into the first frame. The score was tied two more times at 6-6 and 8-8 before Christina Burns converted a three-point play for the Lady Warriors. Emily Tatman added a jumper and Eastern took a 138 advantage with three minutes left in the quarter. Before the buzzer sounded, Fite made a free throw and drained a 3-pointer, cutting the Lady Warriors' lead to 13-12 after one complete.
In the second stanza, Eastern increased its lead to 21-13 after back-to-back threes from Andrea Neu and Shayla Black. After North Adams' Corey Pertuset scored on a drive, Allison Prine answered with a drive of her own, keeping the Lady Warriors' lead at eight. Over the final 2 1/2 minutes of the half, the Lady Devils outscored Eastern 11-2. The Lady Warriors' only hoop came on a drive by Tressie Lewis. North Adams got scores from Casie Wiggington, Lanie Davis and Fite during their run, setting the stage for Pertuset to bank home a 3-pointer at the buzzer, giving the Lady Devils a 26-25 edge at the intermission. "Sometimes when it gets tough, these kids can do some good things," said Burrows. "They felt the urgency at halftime and came out and did things right in the second half." In fact, the Lady Warriors' defense was the main difference in the final 16 minutes. Eastern held North Adams to just four points in the third period. DeBord increased the Lady Devils' lead to 28-25 just 13 seconds into the third period. Yockey answered with a
layup and Burns scored two baskets in the lane, giving Eastern a 31-28 advantage at the midway point of the third. Alisan Sparks scored North Adams' final basket of the period when she stuck back an offensive rebound with 3:22 showing on the clock. The Eastern press forced the Lady Devils into some rushed shots and turnovers, leading to some easy scores for the Lady Warriors. Burns scored another goal in the post. Black canned a three and Prine added a jumper, giving Eastern a 38-30 lead at the end of the third quarter. The Lady Warriors opened the fourth frame where they left off in the third. Burns got two more scores in the paint and Black made a long three, putting Eastern in front 45-30 and completing a 14-0 run. Davis temporarily put a halt to the Lady Warriors' scoring binge when she sank a floater in the lane, but Eastern went right back on the attack. Prine and Leeza Rickey made layups and Black connected on a jumper. Burns hit a bank shot, giving the Lady Warriors a 53-32 lead. Prine also added a free throw
in the final two minutes, securing the 54-34 win for Eastern. "We stopped their penetration in that second half," said Burrows. "The press sped them up a bit. The kids off the bench played well. Andrea hit a big shot. Tressie and Emily came in and did a nice job." Burns led all scorers with 17 points. Black added 11. Prine chipped in seven and Yockey finished with six for the Lady Warriors. "We moved better in that second half," added Burrows. "Christina had a nice game. Shayla shot the ball well (4-of-5 from the field)." Fite paced the Lady Devils with 12 tallies. DeBord added seven and Pertuset chipped in five. The win lifted Eastern to 143 overall, 10-1 in Southern Hills League play. In junior varsity action, North Adams defeated Eastern, 40-19.

Kidwell receives Rio Grande’s Corey Taylor Heart and Hustle Award on Jan. 20 On Jan. 20, 2011, Rio Grande continued a tradition that began last season by presenting the Corey Taylor Heart and Hustle Award in pregame ceremonies at the first home game following the winter break. Taylor was a member of the Rio Grande basketball program who was tragically killed in an automobile accident on Christmas night in 2008. The award is presented as a memorial to Taylor and is given to a member of the basketball program who best symbolizes the qualities that Taylor brought to the Rio Grande basketball family. “It’s huge for our program,” said Rio Grande men’s basketball coach Ken French. “A couple of years ago, we lost a young man that was in our program. At the time, he was a junior varsity player, Corey Taylor.” “He was killed in a car accident on Christmas,” French added. “Last year was the first year we implemented the Corey Taylor Heart and Hustle Award. Corey was a great kid, coming from a great family. He was the type of kid in our program that you could ask him for anything and he’d be there for you. He’d give the shirt off his back to help you or the program or whatever it may be. He was just a great kid and hard worker. It
was a tragic loss for, obviously, the family. And it was a tragic loss for our program.” This year’s recipient was Cory Kidwell, a senior from Georgetown, Ohio. “Cory is an outstanding young man who does what he needs to do in the classroom and on the court,” said French. “He’s improved a lot and he’s a great leader. He’s just an outstanding young man.” Kidwell received the Corey Taylor Heart and Hustle Award during the ceremony. “It means a lot to our program and is very prestigious,” said French. “I sat Cory down in my office the other day and explained to him what it means to me as an individual and why we give this award. Hopefully, it’s something that I’m sure means a lot to him and it is an honor. He deserves it and hopefully, it ‘s something that we’re going to be able to continue as long as I’m here.” “It is one of the most prestigious things we can bestow on a young man,” added French. Kidwell was honored to be selected as this year’s recipient. “It’s an honor,” said Kidwell. “I could not have received this award without my teammates. Corey was a great player and a great person. He brought a lot of energy to the team and everybody loved to be around him.”

“We don’t play much zone,” said Burrows. “But it worked tonight and we were hoping they didn’t expect it.” Fayetteville’s offensive woes continued in the second stanza. In fact, the Lady Rockets managed just six points in the first six minutes, all from the line, in the quarter. Rosselot made two and Megan Eyre canned 4-of-4, closing the gap to 17-10 with under two minutes left in the half.
The good thing for Fayetteville was that the Lady Warriors did not manage much offense on their end. After Burns scored just over a minute into the period, Eastern suffered a drought for the next six minutes. Shayla Black broke the Lady Warriors out of their funk with 56 seconds left, draining a long three and giving Eastern a 20-10 advantage. Shelby Sheets answered with her first basket of the night with 29 ticks remaining in the second quarter. Sheets’ 3-pointer cut

Eastern’s lead to 20-13 heading into intermission. “We came out of our zone and played good man-to-man,” said Sheets. “We just didn’t get many breaks to go our way.” Black opened the third period on a tear. She made two free throws, netted a three and scored in the lane, putting Eastern in front 27-13 with 5:20 left in the period. Sheets and Eyre countered with layups for the Lady Rockets. Allison Prine made 1-of-2 at the line in the final minute, giving the Lady Warriors a 28-17 lead after three quarters were in the books. Early in the final frame, Fayetteville mounted a comeback. Rosselot converted a three-point play. Sheets made a 3-pointer and added a layup. Emily Stahl also made a 3pointer and with five minutes remaining, Eastern’s lead had dwindled to 30-28. Black momentarily stopped the run with a drive, but Sheets made a free throw and Eyre stuck back an offensive rebound. With just under three minutes left, the Lady Warriors clung to a 32-31 edge. Black made four free throws, but again the Lady Rockets answered with layups by Eyre and Desiree Dutro. With 1:46 showing on the clock, Eastern led 36-35. After Black made two more
charity tosses, Rosselot converted 1-of-2 at the line, making the score 38-36 with one minute remaining. That was as close as the Lady Rockets could get as Prine made 3-of-4 in the final 20 seconds, securing the 41-36 win for Eastern. “We came with four guards most of the night and handled their pressure,” said Burrows. “Shayla hit some clutch free throws for the second game in a row. Allison also made some big free throws down the stretch.” Black led all scorers with 18 points. Burns added eight. Prine chipped in six. “Our offense wasn’t great, but our defense was consistent,” added Burrows. Sheets paced Fayetteville with 11 tallies. Rosselot and Eyre added 10 points each. “Although we lost, this was a good game to learn from,” said Sheets. Eastern improved to 13-3 overall, 9-1 in the SHL. Fayetteville fell to 13-2 overall, 9-1 in the league. In junior varsity action, Fayetteville downed Eastern, 60-38. Abby Rowe led the Lady Rockets with a game-high 28 points. Ashley Moore added 16.

The Brown County Press - Sunday, February 6, 2011 - Page 17
After digging out of our 8 inches of snow, and walking around our property to check for damage, I found several places where the critters had dug around to munch on Liriope (some people call it Monkey Grass) and they had even unburied a few hedge apples for dessert. The spruce trees are laden with snow, but seem to be surviving the winter. Earlier in the week, as I headed to the compost bin with some bags of “treasures”, I discovered that something had dug under the bin and had been busy eating all my compost! Thank goodness I discovered this before the snow and below zero weather! My husband helped me put some hard-
ware cloth under the bin and I filled in the hole. We’ll see what happens. Did you do your homework last week? What garden beds are your favorites and why? I love my ornamental grasses in my “Wind Garden” and the daylily bed is always spectacular……but my favorite? I love looking out onto the deck and watching the hummingbirds visit my flowers and herbs planted in large blue pots on the deck. My neighbors across the road have told me that their favorite part of my front yard is the Tri-color Beech Tree. Author, Janet Macunovich, states in her book, “Designing Your Gardens and Landscapes” that there are six items that should be on your checklist when you look at potential sites for a

garden: The overall view, hours of sunlight, type of soil, availability of water, competing plants, and exposure. She includes a handy Site Assessment Sheet that leaves nothing to chance. She also suggests taking photographs of the potential site. Macunovich reminds us to record all features that now exist at the site. Don’t overlook the following: Buildings such as sheds or detached garages, trees, shrubs, plants, fences, patios and decks, Walkways and driveways, and other permanent features, such as utility boxes or well pipes. The author also suggests that you make a sketch of the existing site. Once you have selected one or more likely spots for a garden, and taking into consideriation your assessment of the “view”, the author then stresses the importance of focal points. We all have both desirable and undesirable focal points in our landscape. One of my biggest undesirables was our propane tank. Last year my husband surprised me and had it buried! So walk around your property and make a list of all the focal points you see. Macunovich gives us three ways to use what is in view to decide on a garden spot. (1) Take advantage of a panoramic angle in selecting a spot for your garden. (2) Piggyback the garden on an existing, desirable focal

point. (3) Create a new focal point. She cautions the gardener that tries to hide an eyesore behind a garden ,since gardens actually will draw your attention to the undesirable focal point. Instead try to draw the eye off to another area entirely. Is your garden sunny, half sunny, or shady? The key to successful landscaping is determining how many hours of sun the garden receives each day during the growing season. My daylily bed is a great example of being not really full sun. The poor plants reach at an angle for the sun. Another case of “I thought I would give those plants a try there….even though it really isn’t full sun”. Soil is essential to plant growth, both as an anchor and because it holds nutrients and water. “Don’t guess…..soil test” is an important part of the site assessment. Contact the OSUE Brown County Office for more information. Availability of water is crucial. You’ll need to provide water to make most plants grow under things that block rain and snow. How many gardeners are guilty of planting something under overhanging eaves and then wondering why they keep dying? Every year I consider shopping for an irrigation system, but haven’t found the perfect fit for my needs. Don’t forget to consider other water-related problems such as runoff, erosion and standing water. Competition from other plants is all about roots. If there are tree branches over your head, there are probably roots under your feet. When selecting your plants, be sure to choose plants that are tolerant of root competition. Exposure is the last item the author addresses. She calls it exposure to natural and man-made plant stressors – wind, extreme heat, frost, sports equipment, and heavy traffic (human or animal). Next week we will look at Step 5 – Making a Plant List. Your homework? Make a list of your favorite plants in your landscape and then make a “wish list” of some plants you would like to purchase. The Brown County Master Gardeners are presenting a series of free seminars at the South Campus of Southern State Community College. All seminars held in the Learning Resources Center (library). On Feb. 17, the seminar will be focused on Seed and Plant Selection for the garden. The seminar time is 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. The March 17 seminar will be about Bugs, Disease and Animal Control. The last class will be April 14 and will focus on Canning and Freezing. Mark your calendars! Did you complete your homework last week? Grab that list of your favorite plants in your landscape and the “wish list” too! It’s not often that we have the chance to develop a completely new garden in our landscape, and author, Janet Macunovich, reminds us to make a list of plants that fit all the considerations you noted in earlier steps. Considering your site assessment, be sure to
choose plants that will grow on the site. In other words, “Choose the right plant for the right place”! There are loads of great reference books to help you find suitable plants. Macunovich advises gardeners to choose at least two references that describe not only the plants, but the growing conditions preferred by each plant. Some of my favorite books for plant selection include: “Perfect Plant Perfect Place” (Roy Lancaster), “50 High-Impact, Low-Care Garden Plants” (Tracy Disabato-Aust), “Perennials for Ohio” (Knapke and Beck), and “8 Months of Color” (Janet Macunovich). In her book, “Designing Your Gardens and Landscapes”, Macunovich includes a very informative page titled, “Deciphering the Description”. Perhaps the plant’s description states that it withstands foot traffic and can grow well in unpromising places. The good news? The plants will grow where others won’t. The bad news? The plants will probably spread rapidly if not controlled. My favorite example was the description stating that the plants need constant moisture. The good news? The plant may love the area by your downspout. The bad news? Don’t go on vacation without arranging for regular watering! The list you are compiling is going to serve as a quick reference for you as you design, so also record these vital statistics for each plant: why you selected it, its height, and the flower color. The author also reminds us to consider the leaf color of plants. One of my favorite Hosta beds is a blend of at least 5 different shades of green. Annuals or Perennials? Macunovich
Lang pleads guilty, to pay back $1M CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 until Lang is sentenced. During the plea hearing, Manken laid out how Lang took the money. Under count one, Manken said that Lang would adjust utility payments downward in the computer once a customer paid the full amount they were billed. He said she would then pocket the difference. For example, if a large utility customer was billed for 25 thousand dollars, Lang would take the 25 thousand dollar payment, adjust the bill downward to 20 thousand dollars in the computer and then take five thousand dollars out to make the money in the account match the adjusted amount. Manken said Lang stole $915,845.26 in this manner. For count two, Manken said Lang would “zero out” a customers balance, print a bill that

For count three, Manken said Lang pocketed $13,611.41 in deposits paid by customers, but not credited to their accounts. When Lang was indicted, Ripley Village Administrator Charles Ashmore reported that new procedures were in place in the village to prevent such a theft from happening again. They include updated computer software, accounting procedures that track different types of payments separately and making sure that at least two people have control over accounts. Any account changes also must be noted and approved. Ashmore has requested that any Ripley resident with questions or concerns about the Lang matter can call him at 392-4377.

states that we should revisit the goals for our garden and the differences between annuals and perennials to judge whether you should stick to one group or the other. I love to use annuals for the burst of color in my large pots on the porch and deck, since they generally have a very long bloom season. A visitor to my gardens will quickly sense that blue and violet are my favorite colors. My daylily bed, of course, is a mixture of cool and warm colors. I am also drawn to green and some yellow. I shy away from the yellow-orange, but love the yellow-green. Color is such a personal part of the choice of your plants. For each plant on your list, you also need to make note of its shape and texture. You might decide that you need to visit some gardens (armed with your pencil, notebook and camera) to get a look at the plant as a whole. We are almost halfway through the 12 step process of designing your gardens and landscapes. In step 6 we will choose a focal point that will create extra interest. Step 7 involves creating a scale drawing of your garden. Your homework? As the snow melts, look at your landscape. Do you have existing focal points? Don’t forget about the seminars being given by the Brown County Master Gardener Volunteers at the South Campus of Southern State Community College. All seminars are held in the Learning Resources Center (library). The seminar time is 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. The seminars include: February 17 – Seed and Plant Selection for the Garden, March 17 – Bugs, Disease and Animal Control, and April 14Canning and Freezing.
improperly paid herself overtime and took cash intended for deposit in the about of $2630.43 between September of 2008 and September of 2009. Yazell has paid the money back to the court, along with a four thousand dollar payment to reimburse the state for the cost of the audit. The $2630.43 will go to the county General Fund. She was originally to be sentenced on Jan. 21 but was given a continuance to come up with the full restitution amount prior to sentencing. Her attorney, Niroshan Wijesooriya of Cincinnati, said that Yazell will appeal her jail sentence. Yazell expressed regret at her sentencing hearing, saying “I’m sorry to the Sheriff and everyone. I know I betrayed them. This has ruined my life. It was an embarrassment to the community and I will never ever do anything like this again.” She then asked for leniency from Gusweiler, saying “I just ask that the court have mercy on
me today.” Sheriff Dwayne Wenninger then spoke about the impact of Yazell’s actions. “A lot of trust has been broken and a lot of us were very disappointed. She made a mistake but I don’t think she should be punished any worse or treated any better than anyone else because she worked for a county agency.” Gusweiler then addressed the fact that Yazell misused taxpayer funds. “You knew that the county was facing money problems when you committed those offenses”, Gusweiler said. He added “I always feel incarceration is an appropriate punishment when there is a breach of public trust.” Gusweiler then sentenced Yazell to two years of community control, 90 days in jail and court costs. Following the sentence, Wijesooriya asked that Yazell’s jail sentence be delayed pending an appeal. Gusweier denied the motion and Yazell was taken into custody.

This weekend will be your last chance to harvest a deer for the 2010 2011 Ohio archery deer season. It will end on Sunday, Feb. 6. If you take a deer on the last day you will only have until 8 p.m. that day to check in your deer, so you may want to check out what checking station will be open on that last day and the time they close. As Ohio archery deer hunters we are very fortunate to have one of the longest seasons across the United States. It started on Sept. 25, 2010 and will close on Feb. 6, 2011. When I talk to hunters from other states and tell them how long our deer season is, they will often say how great that is and how fortunate we are. Now if you still have a deer tag, do you consider yourself fortunate or unfortunate, this
looking straight at me that I had on trail camera before season opened. These are the trophies of my season they are memories that I will have for years to come, even when I am no longer able to climb into the stand and experience new ones. Ok, so the season is going to be over, but don’t let this get you down. We have all spring and summer to talk about the past season and the adventures we have had. And look at the time we have to practice and practice and practice. Oh don’t forget about getting ready for next year, where to hang that stand and plant a food plot or maybe a new hunting spot and you get the picture. So remember enjoy one of God’s greatest gifts. the great outdoors.
JEFF KRESS would be a personal opinion. For me I have a tag and anytime I get a chance to hunt I consider myself very fortunate, yes I will be in the deer stand this weekend in hopes of filling this tag. But if I don’t that’s ok, because this is one of the hunts I enjoy most during the year. As I sit in the stand the last few hours of season I think back on the hunts that I have had this year. From the first hunt on opening day in September to the first deer I harvested, to that evening hunt when I had a buck just 13 yards under me

First we would like to congratulate our fair board director Kyle Cahall for being picked for the Drucker Award given by the Brown Co. Chamber of Commerce. His family has been in business since 1953. Cahall Brothers has now 3 generations of family working together in a business they love. Cahall Brothers has been a strong asset to the Brown Co. Fair and we are proud to have Kyle as a board member at the Brown Co. Fair More gravel on the parking lot and row numbers for our Handicapped parking is two of the projects we need to do this summer. Danny Gray is looking to sell one of our shuttle-buses and getting a newer one that is smaller. The Horse Dept. had their first meeting of the year and made decisions on changing classes and going to computers for record keeping. Last month I told you that Bob Hardyman has booked Neil McCoy as our headliner for Tuesday night in the Center Ring. Bob is also working on our 2nd Annual Talent Show to make it even better than last year.
