Western Brown drops levy vote BY Martha B. Jacob The Brown County Press The Western Brown Local School District will not seek a levy vote from residents next May. In light of the proposed school funding proposal recently released by Governor John Kasich’s office, the district has decided to pull the 6.1 mill levy vote from the ballot. The funding proposal currently lists the district as receiving nearly two million

dollars in additional funding over the next two years. The WB School Board voted in February to place the levy back on the ballot in May 2013 after it failed in November 2012. The Western Brown Community Levy Support Group was created after the first levy vote failed. It has been working to answer any and all questions in regard to the necessity of the levy for the district. “Many of the Ohio public school districts that have

proposed a levy for the May ballot are facing uncertainty,” said Chris Peters, member of the levy committee. “At this point, several school districts have made the decision to pull the levy from the May ballot until more definite details and specific numbers are available regarding the proposed budget. On Monday, March 11, Teresa Wallace, a support group member and I met with Western Brown TreasCONTINUED ON PAGE 10

The Western Brown school board has decided not to seek a levy this May.

Unemployment up sharply BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press Brown County saw the largest spike in the unemployment rate in four years in January. The jobless number for January came in at 10.8 percent, a 2.6 percent jump from December of 2012. According to the Ohio Department of Job and

Family Services, those numbers translate to 500 fewer people in the county that have jobs as compared to December of 2012. The ODJFS reports that 1800 Brown County residents were considered unemployed in December and 2300 were of that status in January. Prior to this month, the largest jump in recent his-

tory was between December of 2008 and January of 2009, when the jobless rate went from 9.6 percent to 12.6 percent. Deborah Plymail, Director of Workforce Connections in Adams and Brown Counties, said that even though the numbers are not as good as the recent past, there are some silver linings.

“We’re not as bad off as we were a year ago. I think we’re in a recovery, but it’s a slow and painful recovery.”, Plymail said. She is correct in pointing out that year to year comparisons are still favorable. The unemployment rate in Brown County was 11.2 percent in January of 2012, 13.2 percent in January of CONTINUED ON PAGE 10

Annexation for Village of Sardinia moves forward, surveys to begin in a few weeks BY Martha B. Jacob The Brown County Press The Village of Sardinia Council has approved annexation actions in three directions according to Mayor Todd Bumbalough. “We plan on annexing out Sardinia-Mowrystown Road taking in Kings Drive, Meadow Lane and Brookville Place,” Bumbalough said. “We are also going out Purdy Road to Brown Avenue and out TriCounty Road, but not as far as Sardinia Elementary School. “There were too many homes not hooked on to the water/sewer system so our annexation won’t make it to the school.”, Bumbalough said. During the March 11 council meeting, members of the board discussed the upcoming annexation, at length. “We’ve received back about 64 percent of the letters we sent out, asking for signatures of approval for

the annexation,” Bumbalough said. “Those sur-

charges will come off for all those residents who sent

the letters back in. It looks like all three areas we’re looking at are do-able for annexation. Only 36 percent have not responded which implies they are not interested.” Bumbalough told council that the village was a long way from moving forward on the annexation. The Brown County Commissioners must sign off on the annexation and schedule a hearing plus all the surveys have to be completed. According to Bumbalough, regardless of how long the annexation takes, those who signed the letters will not be paying the 120% surcharge for water/sewer. He added that March 1, 2013 was the official deadline for sign-up, but the village planned to accept any late signers, and they were more than welcome to sign, right up to the annexation date. Bumbalough said he had CONTINUED ON PAGE 11

Renchen found guilty of domestic violence charge BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press Former Aberdeen Mayor Garland Renchen has been found guilty of Domestic Violence. The charge is a first degree Misdemeanor, with a maximum penalty of six months in local jail and a $1000 fine. Renchen will be sentenced April 2. Brown County Municipal Judge Joe Worley made the ruling on March 12 after a one day bench trial on March 7. The charge against Renchen was filed in November of 2011 after an incident that occurred on October 30, 2011. Renchen was accused of assaulting his 13-year old grandson in Aberdeen, by

Showing a needy child they are loved and not forgotten can start with something as simple as a shoe box gift. Right now, the South Central Ohio area team with Operation Christmas Child has an opportunity for residents to serve on their local team. The local area includes Adams, Brown, Clinton, Fayette, and Highland counties. South Central Ohio area coordinators for Operation Christmas Child (OCC) are Ed and Helen Hiestand, of Hillsboro. “I started volunteering to be a part of Operation Christmas Child because I knew what an impact the shoe boxes were making around the world, and I wanted to help make a difference in the lives of struggling kids.”, Helen said. Operation Christmas Child volunteers lead teams to encourage groups and churches to pack shoe boxes with toys, necessity items, school supplies and handwritten notes of encouragement. The shoe box gifts will then be hand-delivered to children who are suffering because of natural disaster,

relations team’, a ‘community relations team’, a ‘media team’, and a ‘logistics’ team. “My husband and I have been involved in Operation Christmas Child for about three years and we’ve seen the number of shoe boxes grow every year. But we need more volunteers, especially in Brown County to make it even bigger. “There are currently two churches in the Georgetown area that have expressed interest in helping in our efforts. We work hard to assure that no one individual bares the load.” Why now...months before the holiday season? Although National Collection Week for shoe box gifts is Nov. 18 – 25, Operation Christmas Child is not limited to just the holidays. It is a year-round project, requiring months of organization and preparation to reach millions of kids around the world. Volunteers and shoe box gifts are needed during all seasons to spread the joy of Christmas and the spirit of giving that lasts all year long. Since 1993, Operation Christmas Child, a project of international Christian relief and evangelism organization Samaritan’s Purse, headed by Franklin Graham, has hand-delivered more than 100 million gift-filled shoe boxes to needy children in some 130 countries. The South Central Ohio Area team currently has 2 relay centers in Highland County, 1 in Wilmington, 1 in Blanchester, 1 in Peebles, 1 in Sardinia and 1 in Washington Court House.

Letters to the Editor

Brown County Democrat dinner set Dear Editor, The Brown County Democrats Club is fortunate to have engaged Ed FitzGerald, Chief Executive of Cuyahoga County (Cleveland) to speak at its annual Spring Dinner, which will take place on Friday, April 12 at the JVS on Hamer Road.

Mr. FitzGerald is an exceptionally charismatic and entertaining speaker and will not disappoint as he addresses the Dems. His tenure as County Executive has been marked by important changes in the governance of Ohio’s largest metropolitan area, saving some $100 million dollars

by eliminating government waste and graft. It is no secret that he is considering a run for Governor, although he has not formally announced at this time. The catered event will start at 6 p.m. with a social hour; dinner will begin at 7 p.m. Tickets are $20.00 in advance or at the door, and

are available from Club members, or at the regular Club meeting on March 20 at the BC Senior Citizens Center at 7:30 p.m., or at School House Quilts at 118 N. Main St. in Georgetown during business hours. Susan Bean, President Brown County Democrats Club

Bring the family to Sunday School this weekend Dear Editor, “It’s better to build boys and girls, than to rebuild men and women.” There has been many Sunday School Teachers that have influenced my life. As a matter of fact, I would say that I am a product of the Sunday School. What a wonderful group of men and women that have shaped my life. As a child my parents faithfully took me to Sun-

day school, probably beginning only days after I came home from the maternity nursery at the old Osteopathic Hospital in Grand Rapids, Michigan. We attended the Broadway Baptist Church, an old, downtown, American Baptist Church. Then as a grade school boy we began to attend Sunday School and Church at Oakview Baptist Church, a little Southern Baptist Church on the North East

side of Grand Rapids. As a teen we attended an Independent Church, Ambassador Baptist Temple. That church was in the suburbs of Grand Rapids, a place called Wyoming. These Baptist churches had Sunday School teachers that loved boys and girls. Do you remember a Sunday School Teacher that influenced your life? Only Heaven will reveal the work of the Sunday

As St. Patrick’s Day approaches, the Ohio State Highway Patrol is urging drivers to designate a sober driver before the party begins. The Patrol will be working with local law enforcement to remove impaired drivers as part of the National Highway Safety Administration’s Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over campaign. St. Patrick’s Day has become a popular night to celebrate with friends and family. However, due to impaired drivers, it has also become a very dangerous night on Ohio’s roadways. Last year, impaired drivers killed five of the six people that lost their lives during the 24hour reporting period over St. Patrick’s Day. During this same time period, the Patrol made 215 OVI arrests. “We want people to enjoy the celebration, but we encourage them to do so responsibly,” said Colonel John Born, Patrol superintendent. “Don’t press your luck – designate a sober driver.” To prevent deaths and injuries, the Patrol is partnering with local law enforcement and safety advocates around the state to increase enforcement

OPINION

LIEUTENANT RANDY MCELFRESH on Ohio’s roads and remind people to plan ahead to designate a sober driver. More than 78 local law enforcement agencies around the state will be conducting more than 2,100 hours of enforcement activity and 1,900 hours of saturation patrols in addition to 15 sobriety checkpoints, funded by federal grants provided through the Patrol’s Ohio Traffic Safety Office. For bars and permit holders, over-serving or serving underage customers could also mean costly fines, suspension or revocation of their liquor permit. The Ohio Investigative Unit and other safety partners have been working to educate motorists and permit holders of these consequences in advance reminding people of the dangers of driving impaired, and that over-serving is against the law. As always, motorists are encouraged to call #677 to report drug activity or impaired drivers.

Ripley reviews options in hiring fire safety inspector, Main Street Streetscape begins own heating and air conditioning business and how it might be affected. “This position as fire safety inspector is a full time job,” Chief Pfeffer told council earlier this year, “I’m not saying I want the position, and I’m not saying I don’t want the position. I’m just saying we have to hire an inspector and I feel it would be smart to hire from within our own locale.” Following the executive session council said it would continue to consider what would be the best option for the village by gathering as much information as possible. Mayor Tom Leonard said that council would make a final decision at a later meeting. In other business at the meeting village administrator Charles Ashmore discussed progress on work being done in the village on Main Street Streetscape. In 2007 the Village of Ripley applied for a Transportation Enhancement Grant through the Ohio Department of Transportation in order to perform a Streetscape Project on Main Street. “This grant application was for phase three of a multi-phase plan to renovate the entire downtown area,” Ashmore explained, “Phase one was the River Walk along Front Street and phase two is just now being completed along Second Street from Market Street to Main Street. “This third phase will begin in early April and should be completed by early July.” Ashmore said the project involves overhead utility relocation, sidewalk replacements and decorative street lighting from Second Street to Hemphill Alley. “At least one lane of traffic will be maintained in the area and access to each business will be main-

Ripley Village Council met with Ripley Fire Chief Tony Pfeffer in executive session for over an hour at the March 21 meeting in regard to plans to hire a commercial fire safety inspector for the village. Council has been discussing the need to hire a fire safety inspector for several months after being informed that the position is mandated by the Ohio Revised Code. The main issue of the hiring is that regardless of who the village hires the fire inspection “buck” stops at the fire chief’s door. He is responsible for follow-up on the inspections. If something goes wrong and businesses are shut down, or forced to make changes in how they do business, the fire chief is responsible for making sure the business is brought up to code. Fire Chief Pfeffer told council at an earlier meeting that he would be willing to take the training course to become a certified fire safety inspector. His only reservations involved the operation of his

tained,” Ashmore added. “While we understand that this construction will result in temporary disruption within the area, the end result should be well worth the pain.” In other actions council had the first reading of an ordinance to increase the rate of pay for a newly elected mayor of the village of Ripley. Currently the Ripley mayor is paid $6,000 a year. The ordinance increases the mayors pay to $8,000 a year. Council also had the first reading of an ordinance to increase council member’s pay from $1,800 a year to $2,400 a year. Both ordinances must receive three readings before they are approved. Council members Roberta Sidwell and Linda

South, both members of the street committee, introduced to council a list of streets in the village that are in dire need of repairs. Ashmore received the list and said that some of the streets on the list had not been touched in a couple of decades, and stressed the importance of getting improvements started as soon as possible. Ashmore said he would start compiling prices for the work and report back to council. Village solicitor Jay Cutrell told council that the paper work was being done by the prosecutor office in signing the 19 Main Street property over to the Union Township Public Library.

The Georgetown Exempted Village Schools Board of Education watched a power-point presentation by Bethany Fitzpatrick, junior/senior high school counselor, regarding steps the district is taking to predict scores on students’ ACT (American College Test). “I’ve invited Ms. Fitzpatrick in to the meeting tonight to share some of the information on tests that our kids take and how they did,” Superintendent Chris Burrows told the board. “In par-

ticular eighth grade and sophomores. These scores are indicators of college and career readiness. This is a big movement of our Ohio Appalachian Collaborative and what our TIF Grant provides for, and that’s the big push.” Burrows told the board that Fitzpatrick has had many conversations about moving the district forward and in deeply involved in setting Georgetown students up for success. “It’s on Bethany’s radar to do exit interviews with our current seniors then track them from there,” Burrows added. Fitzpatrick told the board that kids today have to take a lot of tests, and the results of the tests are very important.

“I feel like, if we don’t do anything with all this data we get from these tests, I don’t think its good use of the districts resources,” Fitzpatrick said. “These tests costs money to take and we need to make the most use out of their results that we can.” She went on to discuss the most recent results from the eighth grade tests which are called ‘Explore’, and are graded on a scale of 1-25 points. Then the 10th grade students take the ‘Plan’ test which are graded on a scale of 1-32). “You hear a lot about the ACT,” Fitzpatrick said. “I’ve been talking to our eighth graders about why they were taking the Explore tests, and why they were important. Of the four sections students are tested on including English, math, reading and science,” Fitzpatrick said, “ The scores from the ‘Explore’ and the ‘Plan’ scores will predict the ACT scores of our students.” The power-point showed how 78 Georgetown students who took the ‘Explore’ tests compared with students nationally. The scores were as follows: • English, Georgetown students average 14.4, national average 14.7; • Math, Georgetown students 16.4, national average 15.5; • Reading, Georgetown students 15.4, national average 14.6; • Science, Georgetown students 16.6, national average 16.6. “I would personally love to see an Ohio average or even a regional average,” Fitzpatrick said. “I’d like to see how we match up with other schools in our area. As you can see were right with the national average which I see as significant. In the composite scores, the average of all four test areas, we are above the national average which is good.”

Living history program set at Parker House The John P. Parker Historical Society will hold their annual members meeting at 2 p.m. on Sunday, March 17, 2013 at the Parker House located at 300 N. Front Street, Ripley. A short business meeting wil lbe followed by a Civil War Living History Program with General U.S. Grant portrayed by Mike Miller and Julia Grant portrayed by Jennifer Moran, both of Georgetown. Everyone is invited to attend.

Fitzpatrick went on to talk about the percentage of how many students reported that they needed help in particular subjects. 62 percent of the students felt they needed help in math, and the least numbers were in computer skills where only 13 percent felt they needed help. According to the powerpoint the results of the ‘Plan’ testing for sophomores were as follows: • English, Georgetown students average 16.2, national average 16.2; • Math, Georgetown students average 17.0, national average 17.6 • Reading, Georgetown students average 17.6, nation average 16.7 • Science, Georgetown students average 18.0, national average 17.8. Composite scores show Georgetown’s average is 17.4 while the national average is 17.2. Forty-three percent of the sophomore students reported needing help in public speaking skills. “So what I wanted to see is if these seniors who took the ‘Plan’ test is a good predictor of how they are going to do on the ACT,” Fitzpatrick concluded.

test scores. He told them that the schools scores were not at a level he would like, but the performance index on the new report cards will still be in the results. Burrows said that the ranking of Georgetown schools is not where he wants it to be, but he plans on meeting with the number two school in the state, Miami Trace, to learn how they made it to the top. In other business at the board meeting board member Dr. Jeff Donohoo asked if anyone knew what was going to happen to the old elementary school property. “Are there any plans for the property or are we going to just let it sit?” Donohoo asked. Board member Steve Dunkin said that there are about 13 acres at the site which is kept mowed and insured by the district. The board unanimously agreed to come up with a plan of action or at least some options for the property, be it sell the property or find some use for it. The board also approved a board policy revision regarding the Ohio Revised Code changes in handling students and concussions.

“I looked at our seniors results this year, individually, when they took the test in 10th grade. Eighty-one percent of them tested within the range that the ‘Plan’ predicted. 10.1% tested lower than ‘Plan’ predicted and 8.7% tested higher than predicted. “I find it interesting to find out just how accurate the ‘Plan’ is.” The board thanked Fitzpatrick for sharing the information. Burrows reminded the board that he had given them a copy of the schools college readiness report which shows where Georgetown is. “This report produced by the College Board of Regents shows every school district in Ohio,” Burrows said. “I looked back to 2008 because I thought the numbers had moved. “In 2008 our remedial rate for math was 27 percent, and the most current number is 19.

The Only Payment for Sin Corinthians 15:1: I “Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel...” Ladies and gentlemen, today I want to talk to you about the gospel of my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. According to Romans 1:16 “...it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth...” The gospel is a simple message; it is not complicated, but it is very important! Look at verses 3-4 of I Corinthians 15: “For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures”. That is the whole gospel of Jesus Christ! When He died according to the scriptures, He fulfilled every requirement of the Old Testament law. According to Matthew 27: 57-60, He was buried in a tomb. And verse 4 of I Corinthians 15 says He arose the third day according to the scriptures. He was promised that He would not stay in the grave and He did not stay in the grave! Jesus is not in a manger; He is not on a cross; and He is not in a tomb. He is alive forevermore and is now sitting on the right hand of the Father in heaven. It was His blood which He offered for our sins in the temple in heaven on the ark of His testament (Rev. 11:19). Blood sacrifices were required for sin from the very beginning. Hebrews 9:22: “...without shedding of blood is no remission.” Go back to the book of Genesis. The first blood was shed in order to make coats of skins for Adam and Eve after they had sinned (Gen. 3:21). Then in Genesis 4 we find the story of Cain and Abel and their respective offerings. It was only Abel’s offering which was accepted. Cain brought of the fruit of the ground. Verse 5 states: “But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect...” In verse 4 Abel: “...brought of the firstlings of his flock and the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering.” Cain knew what was required. Adam and Eve knew what it took to cover their sin. So needless to say, Cain knew he was to offer more than a vegetable! I want you to notice that you can not separate Abel from his offering. It said: “And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering.” Neither

can you separate Cain from His offering! They are connected the same as we are connected with our offering. Our offering is the sacrifice Jesus made for us. He sacrificed Himself for our sins. He shed His blood on the cross and offered it in the temple in heaven. He was the sacrificial Lamb of God. None of the Old Testament blood sacrifices were sufficient to cover sin for very long. They had to offer sacrifices over and over again because a four legged animal could not take the place of a human being. Hebrews 10:4 states: “For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.” The one time sin offering had to be a perfect, sinless, human being. Hebrews 10:10: “By the which will we are sanctified through the offerings of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.” God’s own Son was the sacrifice for our sins! Think about that! Then think about this. We have the wrong impression of Jesus in our minds. We think of Him as a baby in a manger or a corpse hanging on a cross, but, He is neither! Look at the description of Him in Revelation 1:14-16: “His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters. And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.” Hebrews 4:12 tells us: “For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword...” Jesus is glorious and powerful and He will judge according to His Holy Word! Are you ready to face Him? The gospel is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth, just call upon His name (Romans 10:9-13)!

Unemployment up sharply Western Brown Plymail said one factor for this is the end of the Christmas shopping season being reflected in the numbers. “Part of it is the seasonal employment from November and December dropping off after the holidays, which

Renchen found guilty of domestic violence

B R O A D S H E E T E V E N

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 records, the dispute began when the victim remained in the bathroom of the home longer than Renchen wanted. The boy testified during the bench trial, along with four other family members and Detective Jacob Goodwin of the Aberdeen Police Department. In a judgement entry for the case, Worley writes that he found the testimony of the victim to be credible. Worley also wrote “The Defendant (Renchen) took a screwdriver and unlocked the door from the outside to remove (the victim) from the bathroom. Further, the Court finds the Defendant disciplined (the victim) with a broom handle hitting him several times in the head and leg. Further, the Court finds that the Defendant grabbed and twisted the victim’s ears to discipline the child.” Worley also wrote that medical records supported the claims of the victim, noting multiple scrapes and bruises. The background of the incident was recorded from court records in the case. In a statement made in

November of 2011,Goodwin wrote that he was contacted by an emergency room nurse in Morehead Kentucky where the child was taken for medical treatment following the alleged assault. Aberdeen Police then called the Brown County Children Services which had already been notified by Kentucky State Police. Pictures were taken of the boy’s injuries and the police report said they were consistent with the description of the said assault. The boy also gave a distinct description of the broom used in the assault. It was also recorded that when the boy finally reached his father, Darrin K. Renchen, Garland Renchen made multiple statements to the boy telling him not to tell his father what had happened. Renchen was also accused of telling other family members not to cooperate with investigators. As a result, Renchen was also charged with obstructing justice. Worley dismissed that charge in his ruling, following a motion from defense council.

contributes to the unemployment rate.” The situation in surrounding counties and the state is much the same. The unemployment rate is up in every county in Ohio. Adams County saw a 3.3 percent jump to 14.4 percent, tied for the second highest rate in the state. Highland County saw a jump of 2.4 percent to 11.5 percent, Clinton County saw an increase of 2.3 percent to 12.0 percent and Clermont County saw an increase of 1.9 percent to 8.2 percent. Pike County retains the record for the highest rate in the state, jumping 3.0 percent to 15.3 percent for January. In the Cincinnati Metropolitan Statistical Area, which includes Butler, Warren, Hamilton, Clermont and Brown counties, the unemployment rate rose 1.6 percent in January. Statewide, the jobless rate

went from 6.4 percent in December to 8.4 percent in January. Plymail said the unemployment rate also jumped in Kentucky and Indiana. But she added that there may be yet another silver lining at play in the numbers. Plymail said more people are looking for jobs, which can have a negative effect on the jobless rate. “With an increase in the labor force, it also makes the unemployment rate look like it’s higher as these people try to re-enter the work force.” Plymail said. That said, the numbers may get worse before they get better in Brown County. The January numbers do not reflect the approximately 150 people that have lost or will lose their jobs as a result of Meadowwood Care Center, the Sears Store, Fashion Bug and Goessling’s IGA in Georgetown shutting their doors.

drops levy vote CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 urer Denny Dunlap, board of education members Mike Kirk and Shane Bishop, Jina Bohl, WB director of curriculum and instruction, and interim superintendent Peggy McKinney regarding the proposed budget and the levy dilemma.” Peters explained that at the meeting the group discussed the proposed funding plan and the impact that the estimated funding may have on the school’s budget. “Although there is still much uncertainty as to exactly how much the proposed state funding may increase for Western Brown,” Peters continued, “the school district’s representatives believe that the proposed additional funding could impact the amount the district would ask for from the tax payers.” According to the Western Brown Board of Education Treasurer Denny Dunlap, after looking closely at the updated five-year forecast, the district’s finances look much better than before the budget proposal was released. “Once we all sat down and went over our budget,” Dunlap said, “it appears that our district will be in better shape than we thought. Unfortunately, this is only a proposed budget, it could still change. But if the figures stay the way they are our five-year forecast looks pretty good.” Dunlap added that one of the reasons the district was scheduled to receive the nearly $2 million in funds is

because Western Brown Local School District covers a lot more territory, much of which is in farm land which has lower property value. Dunlap added the value per pupil is also lower than many other districts because of the incomes of the residents. Peters said that his group and the leadership of the district both had the tax burden of area residents in mind. “We all felt that it is in the best interest of the district tax payers to gain a better understanding and perform a thorough evaluation of the proposed state funding, and the impact the proposed budget would have on the taxpayers,” Peters said. “This thorough evaluation will enable the school district to do what’s fair and reasonable for the community.” Dunlap stated that the cost to place the levy on the May ballot would have cost the district $25,000 or more. Fortunately for the district, Wednesday, March 13 was the last day the district could withdraw the levy without being penalized. “We were able to notify the Brown County Board of Elections in time and there will be no expense to the district,” Dunlap said. “At the boards March 18 meeting they will vote to officially withdraw the levy from the ballot.” The Western Brown Community Levy Support Group agreed with the decision to perform an evaluation prior to continuing with the levy. “Our group members plan on continuing with our own research and working with the school district,” Peters said. “We can say with confidence that while our district has been forced to make some tough decisions, they have made the decisions that were in the best interest of the education and safety of the students.” He continued, “The district representatives made it clear to us that they would not request a levy unless it is absolutely necessary, and a thorough evaluation of the proposed budget will enable the district to determine the necessity of a levy and to make the best decision for the tax payers of the Western Brown School district”.

Jelley asked for a show of hands from everyone in the room who have been involved in the program as a 4H member, former member, advisor, parent or volunteer. Instantly, every hand in the room went up. “Hopefully all of you who raised your hand have personally experienced or have seen the positive influence of 4-H on our youth and our community,” she continued. Jelly read aloud several interesting facts about the 4H program across the country including: • 4-H is the nation’s largest (out-of-school) youth development organization; • More than 6 million youth are involved in 4-H across the nation; • In Ohio (2010 statistics) there were 200,604 total youth involved in 4-H, 79,500 were enrolled in 4-H club memberships. “From the Institute for Applied Research in Youth Development at Tufts University,” Jelley said, “we learn that youth engaged with 4-H are nearly two times more likely to get better grades in school and have plans to go to college. They are also about 41 percent less likely to engage in risky behaviors and are 25 percent more likely to positively

She said over 630 youth were involved in non-traditional programs such as mini society, health and wellness after school programs, Real Money-Real World, Agri Reality, Carteens and Environmental programs. “4-H in Brown County reached a total of 1543 youth ages 5 to 19 with educational program and camps,” she told the crowd. thanked Joan Jelly Phillips, President and CEO of Southwest Regional Medical Center, for providing a place to meet as well as providing a breakfast for every-

one at the event. Following the breakfast, Barb Howser, Brown County 4-H Committee President, was then introduced. Howser asked that everyone in the room introduce themselves. Among the attendees were the commissioners, superintendent of Georgetown Exempted Village Schools, Chris Burrows, County Prosecutor Jessica Little, Judge Scott

Gusweiler, Judge Joe Worley, State Representative Doug Green and State Senator Joe Uecker. Five young people, active in 4-H, were introduced one by one as they talked about how their involvement in 4H had changed their lives. The 4-H members included: • Abigail Dewitt, Truth Seekers 4-H Club and senior level Buckeye Ambassador; • Nathan Bixler, member

of the Red Oak Ranchers and senior level Buckeye Ambassador; • Alicia Gifford, member of the Rising Stars 4-H Club and senior level State Buckeye Ambassador; • Kayla Cady, member of the Kanine Renegades and junior level Buckeye Ambassador and the Pet Pals Program; • Sierra Bachman, member of New Creations 4-H Club, New Hope 4-H Club, Pet Pals Program, former State Buckeye Ambassador and currently serves on the State 4-H Teen Advisory Council. Each of the 4-H members talked about their projects, clinics they had attended, special training and most of all the experience they had received through the years that helped them in their lives. Gifford stated that she never would have had the nerve to stand before so many people and speak, before she became a part of 4H. The young people talked

about the importance of being responsible, motivated, learning good work ethics, insecurity, confidence in yourself, and lifetime friendships. Doug Representative Green then made a special presentation to the Brown County 4-H program which he read a part of, aloud. .....under the sponsorship of Representative Doug Green, House District 66, on behalf of the members of the House of Representatives of the 130th General Assembly of Ohio, we are pleased to commend the Brown County 4-H on its celebration of 4-H Week, March 10 to March 16, 2013.... .....all those associated with Brown County 4-H, both past and present, have certainly distinguished themselves as conscience, hardworking Ohioans, and they are deserving of the highest praise... The commissioners then proclaimed 4-H Week in the county, March 10 through March 16.

Annexation for Village of Sardinia moves forward, surveys to begin in a few weeks CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 scheduled a meeting with the village surveyor, Jim Mitchell in the next week to begin marking the areas to be annexed. He said survey costs could run anywhere between $300 and $800 depending on the location. The village will pay all the survey costs for those residents who sent their letters back in, or who plan on returning the letters. “We don’t want to penalize anyone,” Bumbalough said, “But the April billing will reflect the new surcharge.” In other actions at the council meeting Sardinia Police Chief Jim Lewis had members of council sign a get well card for former Sardinia Auxiliary Cub Cadet Brent E. Hill, 26, who suf-

fered head trauma and extensive injuries to his leg after being struck by a car on Interstate 75 in early March. Hill was a member of the Ohio State Highway Patrol when he was hit by the car. According to Lewis, Officer Hill worked with his department in Sardinia for over a year until leaving for the State Patrol about eight months ago. “He was a good officer when he was here in Sardinia,” Lewis said. “He was smart and he was cautious. We all wish him a speedy recovery.” Bumbalough added that although they were able to save Hill’s leg, he could no longer serve as an officer. He added that he had been trying to visit Hill but doctors would not allow visitors. Council member Bill

North and village administrator Tim Mock were unable to attend the meeting. Village solicitor Jay Cutrell told council that he has been reviewing a mobile home ordinance in effect in the village. He said that public works reviewed and approved an update to the villages mobile home ordinance. He added that there were several properties in the village that do not fit some of the requirements due to the 50 feet mandated roadway frontage. There was no real discussion on the ordinance issue, which was tabled by council, until Cutrell had more time to review it. Council approved reimbursement of $100 to police officers who purchased their own New Level III Bullet Proof Vests. The vests cost

the officers about $280. The finance committee reviewed and approved the fourth quarter audit for the 2012 fiscal year. Council approved up to $100 for fiscal officer Karen Miller and Mayor Bumbalough to attend the 2013 State Auditors Conference in Columbus, set for April 3 and 4. Both Miller and Bumbalough said they are excited about attending sessions on annexation and applying for grants. Bumbalough told council that renewal insurance for village employees had gone down by $1,100 this year, due to a low number of claims in the past. The next meeting of the Sardinia Council will be on April 8 at 7 p.m. at the Village Town Hall, 151 Maple Avenue, Sardinia.

River Debris Builds Up in Ripley Each year the shore line of the Ohio River in the Village of Ripley gets covered by debris as it washes ashore during the winter months, but according to Ripley Village Administrator Charles Ashmore, when the spring rains begin in April and the water lever rises, all the debris will be picked up by the river and disappear from the shoreline. “You can count on it every year,” Ashmore said with a smile. “It will all wash away and our park will be ready for use by late spring.”

What is Xerostomia (dry mouth)? Salivary flow is important to our general health. Saliva provides many things besides just lubrication for our mouths so that we can talk and eat. Without it we can have some serious dental issues. On a daily basis the body produces about two pints of saliva, which is mostly water, along with proteins, calcium, and other substances. Saliva protects the teeth and lubricates the mouth. It buffers the acids in the mouth and regulates the acid balance. It provides a medium in which tooth minerals, which are being removed by bacteria, can be replaced. Besides the dental benefits, saliva also aids in digestion. It initiates the first step in the breaking down of food to prepare it for the stomach. It helps break down starches and fats. It is also part of the

WORD OF MOUTH

DR. MICHELLE HECK immune system, containing antibodies that fight microorganisms. Xerostomia, or “dry mouth”, is an increasingly common condition affecting thousands of people. As America ages, more and more people are on medications for varying health problems. Many of these medications cause a decrease in salivary flow. In fact, decreased salivary flow is one of the most common side effects of most medications. Dentally, decreased salivary flow can lead to a marked increase in decay. Usually this decay attacks

the exposed root surfaces near the gumline, but it can strike anywhere. Also, if a person with xerostomia is wearing a denture or partial, he or she will notice that the denture doesn’t stay in like it used to. That’s because saliva helps dentures to “stick” to the mouth tissues. Without it, no suction is achieved. People with “dry mouth” may also notice an increase in halitosis (bad breath). Besides being uncomfortable, xerostomia can cause some destructive dental problems. The good news is that it is easily diagnosed and can be treated. See your dentist if you suspect you have dry mouth. Also, chewing sugar free gum and using sugar free hard candies can help increase natural saliva flow.

Madison’s third quarter Lawson injury, Oak Hill shooting derail Warriors dooms Lady Rockets

B R O A D S H E E T E V E N

BY Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press

SPRINGFIELD-- Two quarters, two completely opposite results. That is the best way to describe what transpired in the second and third quarters of the Fayetteville girls basketball team's Division III regional semifinal matchup with Middletown Madison last Thursday night at Springfield High School. The Lady Rockets, having gotten off to a slow start, turned a six point deficit into a 10 point halftime lead thanks to a dominant second quarter effort that saw them outscore the Lady Mohawks 23-7. Just as soon as it looked as if the Lady Rockets had seized control, it didn't. The veteran, and physical, Lady Mohawks came out of the locker room executing like a well-oiled machine. Madison scored seven straight points to open the half and would go on to outscore the Lady Rockets 23-10 in the third quarter as they retook the lead near the end of the quarter. Try as they may, the Lady Rockets could just never do quite enough to slow down a determined Lady Mohawks squad as Madison pulled away late for a 67-58 win that ended Fayetteville's stellar season. "They shot really well that third quarter," Fayetteville coach Toby Sheets said after the game. "They found some openings in the zone, I thought, and didn't miss any shots." It took that strong second quarter Lady Rocket effort to get out from a slow start that saw the Lady Rockets trail by as much as nine in the opening quarter. But five quick Fayetteville points to open the second quarter quickly made it a game again before the Lady Rockets took flight. Madison's Kaylee Bush hit a jumper with 6:54 left in the first half to give the Lady Mohawks a four point lead, 17-13. The Lady Rockets answered with 13 straight points, including nine from Makayla Rosselot, to build a 26-17

ATHENS-- There's a saying that is applied quite often in sports: injuries are the great equalizer. Meaning, of course, that the loss of one or two key players to injury can knock a team off its destined course in just a split second. Considering they were playing in a Division III district final at the Convocation Center on the campus of Ohio University, an injury wasn't going to be a great equalizer, either way, for the Eastern boys basketball team. It would be something tough to overcome that late in the season, though. And was it ever. Chase Lawson, the stalwart of the Warriors attack and the team's leading scorer, tried to play through what Eastern coach Rob Beucler termed "excruciating pain" from back and ankle injuries he suffered in the Warriors first two postseason games. But it was just too much to overcome as the senior guard was held scoreless in just 14 minutes of play. Without Lawson, the Warriors struggled early on and, coupled with Oak Hill's torrid first half shooting performance (they hit all seven of their three point attempts in the opening two quarters) Eastern dug itself a hole too big to climb out of as they saw their stupendous season come to end at the hands of the Oaks, 57-35. "We thought he might be able to go a little bit. We always said 60 percent would be better than none," Beucler said of Lawson. "He

lead with 3:43 left before half when Megan Eyre hit 1-2 free throws. The lead was extended to 10, 32-22, by half as the Lady Rockets defense forced misses (and Lincoln Smyth blocked two shots) and turned them into transition opportunities. "We was going there, baby. That was the fun part," Sheets said. Those fun times, thanks to Madison, didn't last long. A Michelle Brunswick jumper, one she hit as she was falling down and was fouled, no less, capped a quick 7-0 Madison run in the first minute and a half of the second half. Her basket got Madison within three, 32-29. Four straight points from Carly Burroughs and Eyre slowed the Lady Mohawks momentum as Eyre's bucket pushed the Lady Rocket lead back to seven, 36-29. But Madison just kept on coming at the Lady Rockets. Six straight Madison

points tied the game at 38 when Olivia Philpot, who scored a team-best 22 points for Madison, scored back-to-back baskets, the second coming with 2:57 left in the third quarter. It was clear that the Lady Mohawks size and strength advantage was becoming more palpable as the third quarter went along. Its next three baskets, including center Josey Harding's basket that gave Madison the lead back, 4442, with 44 seconds left in the third quarter, all came on the block. "They got some looks inside," Sheets said. "I thought they executed well with their offense. I think the physicality of it was to their advantage." The 25-year veteran Lady Rockets coach admitted afterwards that he thought the officials let the physical play go, though he was quick to point out that wasn't a critique on their performance. It was just an attribute CONTINUED ON PAGE 15

couldn't go 60 percent. He was below half. He was in pretty excruciating pain. He couldn't guard tonight. He couldn't cut hard enough. He couldn't get to the basket. "We told the kids he probably might not be able to play. And I wanted them to understand that if that was the case, everybody was going to have to step up. We kind of didn't do that." As big a role as Lawson's injury played in the outcome, so to did the Oaks shooting performance in the first half. Once Drew Haislop hit

Oak Hill's first 3-pointer of the half with 5:12 left in the first quarter, it opened the flood gates. Two more Oaks 3-pointers pushed its lead to seven, 15-8, with 2:38 left in the opening quarter once Garrin Stiltner hit his second trey of the night. But it probably wasn't until Luke Hammond’s 3pointer hit nothing but net at the buzzer to end the first quarter that it was beginning to seem like Oaks were having one of those nights. Hammonds trey gave Oak Hill a 22-8 lead at the end of one quarter. "The first quarter they lit us up and that was the end of they wanted," Beucler said. "Then they coasted and held on." Eastern tried to stay within reach as a Jonathan Stivers’ 3-pointer kept the deficit at 14, 25-11, early in the second quarter. But it was about that point when Lawson's pain became too much. He went to the bench with 6:28 left until halftime and would make just a cameo appearance, for about two minutes in the third quarter, after that. To add injury to insult, so to speak, the Oaks kept knocking down ‘threes’. Their barrage from beyond the three point arc was capped by a shot that, almost, summed up just how well the first half had played out for Oak Hill. Hammond banked in a CONTINUED ON PAGE 15

Lady Rockets: Can’t overcome big Madison third quarter as season ends in regional semis CONTINUED FROM PAGE 14 the Lady Mohawks used to their advantage. "It was physical," Sheets said. "Their guards were bigger and stronger. That's just the way it goes." Madison built its lead to seven early in the final quarter as the Lady Rockets shots just wouldn't go down. Rosselot, who scored a game-best 24 points, and Eyre, who added 16, were able to finish tough drives by getting looks at the basket but they just wouldn't fall. They finally did get a couple shots down about three minutes into the quarter when Rosselot scored on back-to-back possessions to cut the Madison lead to three, 49-46, with 5:05 left. That would be as close as they would get, though. The Lady Rockets kept fighting and got the Madison lead down to four before the Lady Mohawks sealed the win at the free throw line. "It’s just like it (was) right there in your grasp but...," Sheets said before trailing off. "Hats off to them." The loss capped a spectacular season for the Lady Rockets, who finished 24-2. They captured a South-

trict title and second ever. Considering they practically return everyone who logged time this year -- lone senior Ashley Scoggins battled injuries and missed much of the season, including all postseason -- the Lady Rockets seem primed for more. "Very promising, for sure," Sheets said of his program's foreseeable future. "These kids, they work so hard. I'd say a majority of them will be practicing on an AAU team tomorrow. They’re just basketball players. And when you got basketball players that really care and they're that good, anything's possible.

"They hit those big 'threes' and they hit them wide open. We didn't get out into them," Beucler said. "I didn't think they would hit that many shots that quick. They were on fire." The Oaks were noticeably cooler in the second half as the Warriors turned up the intensity. Oak Hill made just three field goals total in the second half, including just one in a third quarter Eastern dominated. Led by Nathan Scott, who scored a team-best 16 points and grabbed 13 rebounds, and Riley Prine, who added 12 points, the Warriors outscored the Oaks 10-2 in the third quarter as the duo combined for all 10 points. When Prine grabbed an offensive rebound with 51 seconds left in the quarter and put it back in, the Warriors had the deficit down to just 14, 39-25. The Warriors sped the Oaks up in that third quarter, forced turnovers and found ways to score inside without Lawson and with a group on the floor that will all return next year. Yet, it was simply a glimpse of what could be, considering the Oaks righted their ship in the fourth quarter and hit 14-17 free throws to close out the district-clinching win. "They shot it real well. And shooting takes care a multitude of sins," Beucler

said. "We didn't take good shots. We lived from the perimeter. When we got inside, we got some shots." It was, obviously, a disappointing end for career of not only the versatile and talented Lawson but classmates Gunner Pollitt, who played all four years alongside Lawson as well as Jacob Long and Blake Bunch. The seniors played a big part in how the Warriors were able to gel throughout the season and achieve such lofty accomplishments -including an undefeated run through the Southern Hills Athletic Conference en route to the league title and a sectional title -- after struggling mightily early on. "It's a good year," Beucler said. "I hate to go out that way. "I mean, if you'd have seen us early, in our scrimmages, I told people we didn't win but a quarter or two. We were struggling to put it together. They've kind of come together."

AEP Ohio customers can win one of four $250 VISA gift cards when they recycle an outdated refrigerator or freezer between March 1 and April 30, 2013. While the appliance recycling program pays inyear-round, centives customers have an extra reason to recycle outdated units during this spring cleaning season. In addition to receiving complimentary pickup of their old, inefficient refrigerator or freezer, participating AEP Ohio customers will receive a $50 incentive check and be automatically entered into a drawing for a chance to win one of four $250 VISA gift cards. With spring cleaning right around the corner, think of what you can do with an extra $250, like purchasing items to make your home more energy efficient. Recycling refrigerators and freezers creates numerous benefits for utility cus-

tomers and the environment. “Everyone is a winner with this program. When you recycle your old fridge, not only do you get paid $50, but you can also save up to $150 a year in electricity costs and help the environment, said Dave Tabata, AEP Ohio consumer programs manager. “Recycling a single unit repurposes more than 188 pounds of materials such as foam, glass and metal for future use.” To schedule a free pickup, customers can call 1-(877) 545-4112 or visit AEPOhio.com/Rebates. Refrigerators and freezers must be in working order with an inside measurement between 10 and 30 cubic feet—standard size for most units. A maximum of two units per household a year will be accepted.

Stroke and Osteoporosis screenings coming to Mt. Orab Residents living in and around the Mount Orab community can be screened to reduce their risk of having a stroke or bone fracture. Western Brown High School will host Life Line Screening on April 17, 2013. The site is located at 476 W. Main St in Mount Orab. Andy Psimer of Mansfield, Oh., attended a Life Line Screening and said, "You saved my life". Four key points every person needs to know: • Stroke is the third leading cause of death and a leading cause of permanent disability • 80% of stroke victims had no apparent warning signs prior to their stroke • Preventive ultrasound screenings can help you avoid a stroke

• Screenings are fast, noninvasive, painless, affordable and convenient Screenings identify potential cardiovascular conditions such as blocked arteries and irregular heart rhythm, abdominal aortic aneurysms, and hardening of the arteries in the legs, which is a strong predictor of heart disease. A bone density screening to assess osteoporosis risk is also offered and is appropriate for both men and women. Packages start at $159. All five screenings take 6090 minutes to complete. For more information regarding the screenings or to schedule an appointment, call 1-(877) 237-1287 or visit our website at www.lifelinescreening.co m. Pre-registration is required.

Are You Feeding Lice? The muddy conditions continue as we seem to get rain just about the time it dries up on the surface from the previous rain, again. It seems to be an every year thing for farmers with cattle, as they talk about how muddy it is this year. Muddy conditions, along with cooler temperatures cause livestock to consume more feed. This past weekend when we had two consecutive days with temperatures in the 60s I noticed a significant difference in hay consumption. In addition to cool temperatures and muddy conditions, we may also be dealing with parasite problems. It is typical during the latter part of winter for lice to become a problem. For cattle producers, there are some things you can do, but also some things that you may not want to do when lice become a problem in your herd. This is not a news flash, but feed is expensive. Regardless if you are talking about feeding hay or adding some grain to the diet, the cost is too much to be feeding parasites like lice. Cattle most likely have some lice year round. In this area where it is colder, and cattle are typically gathered in a bunch either trying to stay warm during cold rainy and/or windy conditions, or just jammed around the hay feeders eating 24/7 (not really, but it sure seems that way sometimes).

The Bearss lecture will be preceded by a re-dedication of the U.S. Grant Boyhood Home at 12 p.m. The home has undergone extensive restoration by the Ohio Historical Association. The home is located at E. Grant Avenue and N. Water Street in Georgetown. Bearss is an independent scholar and historian whose public career began at the National Park Service in 1955 in Vicksburg, Mississippi. His research there led to the recovery of the long-lost Union gunboat Cairo. He also located two forgotten forts at Grand Gulf, Miss., and was instrumental in having

come a problem for cattle more in the winter for this reason, plus there is less sun and much more hair. Cattle have longer and thicker hair in the winter, so it makes for a great hiding place for lice to multiply. Cattle that are heavily infested with lice may appear to be doing poorly. Other indications that lice may be a problem include cattle always rubbing on a fence post, feeder, trees, etc. These are not absolute indications of a lice problem, but it could be. Poor quality hay, not enough nutrients or just rubbing could be what is going on. Pull some hair from an animal when they are eating and by holding the hair up to the light you may be able to see some of the lice, if they are present. Excessive rubbing will often cause areas of the animal to not have any hair around the neck and shoulders or other parts of the body. Lice come in different forms. Some are chewing or biting lice, while others are sucking lice. In any case, they are parasites, so they are feeding on the cattle, and costing you money. One treatment will not fix the

Two Brown Countians featured in Ohio magazine

‘What are those “bumpy” things on my Oak tree?’

The March/April issue of Our Ohio magazine. features Chris Rogers of Mount Orab and Heather Utter of Georgetown, both dedicated community members and local advocates for Farm Bureau. The article explains why Rogers volunteers his time as the Brown County Farm Bureau President to make an impact on the community’s needs. Rogers works with a volunteer county board to take input from residents and find ways to solve common problems of the community together, many times problems that go beyond farming. Utter, one of the organization directors for Ohio Farm Bureau supports volunteers in southern Ohio communities, including Brown County. She works to develop programs under the direction of the organization’s members and says those programs are a way to connect farmers and nonfarmers in the community. An annual membership in Brown County is $60 and comes with a subscription to Our Ohio magazine. Those interested in becoming involved in the community and finding out why membership in Brown County’s Farm Bureau is meant for both farmers and nonfarmers should sign up to become a Farm Bureau member by calling 1.888.GrowWithFB or visiting GrowWithFB.org.

This is the question that was asked by a good friend as I left her home last Friday. We were all so excited that the 6 plus inches of snow was melting away thanks to the appearance of the sun. As we all walked down the sidewalk we immediately noticed some strange growths on the twigs of the oak tree in the front yard. As is usually the case, I overheard, “Let’s ask the Master Gardener. She’ll know.” Out came my phone and I took several photographs, and then explained that I would do some research and send the hostess some information as soon as I had an answer. I have learned to keep my first assumptions to myself! Out came the tree books and after learning more about oak trees, I was ready to affirm my first suspicion. A common occurrence on oak trees is the formation of gall growths or deformities on leaves, twigs, buds, flowers, bark, stems, and even

problem. The first treatment may kill the lice, but most products will require a second treatment to kill the lice that were eggs at the time of the first treatment. READ the label so you understand how the product is to be used before the first treatment. It is always good advice to consult with your veterinarian prior to making any kind of treatment. Some of the products that can be used to control lice may cause other issues, so it is best to understand what the risks are and what you need to know prior to treatment. The risk that I am referring to depends on the product that you may use. Some products simply say that they control lice. Some specifically say that they control both biting and sucking lice. The risk comes into play when the product is a wormer that controls grubs. It is a potential problem if the cattle were not treated with a similar product earlier in the winter or late fall, as the grubs could be a problem if this is the first treatment for them. They may be at a stage where treating them now could cause more harm than good. So with this in mind, you will need to choose your control treatment wisely. Again, your veterinarian can be very helpful in explaining this and most likely recommend products that will fit your situation. Dates to Remember Business Plan Workshops

Grand Gulf named a state military monument. In 1991, Bearss became the National Park Service’s chief historian for military sites. He received the Harry S. Truman Award for Meritorious Service in the field of Civil War History and the Department of the Interior’s Distinguished Service Award. In addition, he was a featured commentator for Ken Burns’ PBS Series “The Civil War”, and also appears on the Arts & Entertainment Channel’s “Civil War Journal”. Bearss’ lecture will discuss the northern victories at Petersburg and Richmond and Five Forks that led to the surrender at Appomattox Courthouse. He will bring his own insights on the topic, and of course, will present them in his own indomitable style.

acorns and roots. Most galls are harmless, but the horned and gouty oak galls can be debilitating, even killing younger trees. Oak galls are caused by a group of small insects known as gall makers. Galls are part of the insect’s reproductive cycle and provide a protected enclosure for development of offspring (larvae). The gall is formed by the tree in reaction to insect-released chemicals or other stimuli, which incite plant hormones to form the gall. The inside of the gall is rich with protein and provides a source of concentrated food for the developing larvae. The types of galls and the insects causing them are specific to various types of oak. The majority of gall makers are tiny wasps, though some are fly species. There have been more than 700 species of gall wasps documented in North America. Nothing can cure a tree of galls. For younger trees, it is possible to trim out the affected twigs and branches. Trimming is more difficult

on larger trees unless done by a commercial arborist with a lift truck or climbing capability. Keep in mind that galls are live tissue and are part of the twig. In viable galls, the larvae cannot be reached by insecticides or oil sprays. Some of the earlier botanists in North America believed galls were simply a typical structure of a normal plant. I have to admit that I would seriously consider trimming the galls out of a smaller oak tree, especially if it was the focal point of my yard! Mark your calendars for the March 21 gardening seminar about Native Plants being held at the Fincastle campus of Southern State Community College. Remember that all seminars are free and open to the public and are held in the library from 6 until 7:30 p.m. Just when I thought I was going to be able to dig in the dirt, we got slammed with 6 inches of snow. After that warm sunny day on Sunday, my garden looks like a marsh! How many days until spring????

Volunteer recruitment underway for Southeast Ohio Litter Cleanup Event The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) is partnering with Keep Ohio Beautiful (KOB) and Keep Southeast Ohio Beautiful (KSEOB) to recruit volunteers for a U.S. Route 33 Roadside Cleanup event in Athens County, all in support of the Keep America Beautiful Great American Cleanup campaign. This event is scheduled for Saturday, April 27, 2013 between 8 a.m. and noon at the Wayne National Forest headquarters located between The Plains and Nelsonville, Ohio. Registration starts at 7:30 a.m. Individual or group volunteers are asked to register their team online in advance of the cleanup event here. From 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., the following additional activities are open to the public: • FREE Scrap Tire Drop-off, with the capacity to collect up to 1200 scrap tires thanks to the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency, Athens CityCounty Health Department and Athens Sheriff’s Department. • FREE Shred Day for

confidential records by Information Destruction Services, Inc. • FREE disposal of prescription drugs in support of National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day. On average, ODOT spends $4 million each year picking up nearly 400,000 bags of trash from highways and inter-

changes. The cost and time involved for crews to remove litter, however, could be used for much-needed equipment or highway repairs. Groups interested in Adopt-A-Highway can go online to www.dot.state.oh.us and look for the Adopt-AHighway icon.

Ohio Department of Agriculture, Ohio FFA announce grant program Local FFA chapters can now apply for their chance to receive grants to help fund community development projects through the 2013 Agricultural and Rural Community Outreach Program. The program, jointly administered by the Ohio FFA Foundation, Ohio FFA Association and the Ohio Department of Agriculture, will award grants to chapters with topranking projects. “FFA not only helps shape future agricultural leaders, but it also generates a qualified workforce to fill jobs created by the state’s top industry – food and agriculture,” said Ohio Department of Agriculture Director David T. Daniels.

“The Ohio Department of Agriculture is proud to partner with the Ohio FFA Foundation and Association to help youth improve their local communities and to keep agriculture strong in Ohio.” Local FFA chapters can submit project proposals until May 15 to the Ohio FFA Foundation. A committee will then select projects to receive grant funds ranging from $750 to $2,500. Grant winners will be notified by May 30. “Through the Agricultural and Rural Community Outreach Program, FFA can develop partnerships with other groups and organizations while taking a leadership role to make the

community a better place to live and work. Using state, national and international activities, a chapter and its members can serve as catalysts to improve the community's economic, environmental and human resources,” said Melissa Bell, director, Ohio FFA Foundation. “We are very excited about the opportunities this grant will create for local chapters and communities.” The program is funded by a $38,000 grant provided by the Ohio Department of Agriculture through the Ohio Rural Rehabilitation fund. For more information on grant guidelines or to apply, go to www.ohioffa.org.

Prescriptions of the past Have you ever wondered why the word prescription is abbreviated Rx? Technically, the official symbol has the x incorporated into the bottom leg of the R. Did you just assume it was something to do with Latin like lb being the abbreviation for pound? The Rx is actually an abbreviation for the Latin word recipe. Back in the days before a doctor could write a prescription for amoxicillin or Vicodin, he had to write out a list of what the pharmacist was to give the patient. Just like a modern recipe, the prescription listed all the ingredients and how much of each to use. The pharmacist would measure out the ingredients and make the appropriate dosage of medication. All of this predates both capsules and even tablets. Before the tablet was the pill. A pill was similar to a tablet but not nearly as elegant. To make a pill the pharmacist would mix the appropriate powders together then add enough

HEALTH MATTERS TOM CALLAHAN, RPH syrup to make a putty-like substance. This putty-like substance was then rolled into a cylinder of a certain length (depending on how many pills the recipe called for) and then cut into equal pieces. Each of these pieces would be rolled into a ball shape and that was a pill. As you can imagine, these pills were not very stable. Since they were made with a sugary syrup, they would tend to stick together. Instead of using a syrup that contained sugar, a pharmacist could also use a thickener like tragacanth. Tragacanth is a gum that comes from the sap of a shrub. This would make for pills that held their shape and were not sticky, but they would not dissolve in the stomach very well. Another popular way to dispense medicines would

February's Community Resource Person was Jutta King at Hamersville School. Jutta is originally from Germany. She has lived in the United States for the last twenty years. With her beautiful German accent, Jutta began her presentation with "guten Morgen" which is German for "Good morning." Jutta wore a typical German, skirt, vest, and scarf. She described life in Germany and showed students on a map where she lived. She displayed a photograph of a castle near her house in the mountains. She said that particular castle was used as a model for Disney's castle, and that it is a great tourist attraction built by a king long ago. Jutta compared and contrasted life in Germany to life in the United States. She spoke to students about the similarities and differences in education, transportation, food, cur-

be individual powders. The pharmacist would mix the ingredients then divide the total into individual doses which would be wrapped in glassine paper. There are still a couple of OTC products that are sold as powders like Goody’s and BC Powder. Finally, the medications could be dissolved in a liquid and the patient could measure out his or her own dose with a spoon. Depending on the solubility of the medications, the liquid could be a syrup, elixir or tincture. Each of those words signified a different formulation. A syrup was a sugar based liquid containing about 65 percent sugar by weight. At this concentration bacteria cannot grow and the sugar will not start to crystallize (like in honey). An elixir is a sweetened, alcoholic preparation. This would be used for a drug that is not soluble in water but is soluble in alcohol. A tincture is a liquid with a high concentration of alcohol (usually 40-60 percent). Paregoric is an example of a tincture, but tinctures can also refer to products used externally. For instance, iodine is actually tincture of iodine. Thank you for joining me as I meandered down pharmacy’s own little memory lane. So much of today’s medicine is prepackaged, in tablets, that are in bottles, that are in boxes, which are shrinkwrapped. It feels like we pharmacists are becoming divorced from the products we sell.
