Meranda to sue Judge Gusweiler

BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press Brown County Clerk of Courts Tina Meranda has retained an attorney who is promising to “drop a sledgehammer” on Common Pleas Court Judge Scott Gusweiler.

In a telephone interview, Eric Deters said that he was preparing to file a lawsuit against Gusweiler in the coming days seeking “monetary and injunctive relief” concerning a dispute over office keys between the two elected officials.

Deters said the lawsuit will claim that Gusweiler is interfering with Meranda’s public duties as an elected official.

He added that he is still gathering information and will decide next week whether to bring the suit in federal or state court.

Gusweiler issued a court order to Meranda on Feb. 19, ordering her to provide him a set of keys to her office in the Brown County Courthouse.

Meranda said he verbally threatened her with arrest if she didn’t comply.

Deters said “For him to issue an order for those keys and then threaten her with contempt if she doesn’t give them up is insanity.”

Deters has a law office in Independence, Ky. The origin of the dispute began last February 19, when Meranda changed the lock to the public entrance to her office in the Brown County courthouse.

She said she took the action after discovering employees from the judge’s office had opened her office door on the morning of Feb. 17.

Meranda said that incident,

along with the departure of two former employees led her to change the locks to preserve the security of the records she

is responsible for by law.

On the afternoon of February 19, Meranda said Gusweiler’s Court

Administrator, Joni Dotson, arrived in her office and told employee Alesha Crawford CONTINUED ON PAGE 6

Amy Baker arrested in Goshen Twp., indicted for alleged drug trafficking

BY Wayne Boblitt The Brown County Press A Clermont County woman who gained notoriety in connection with the burning of a dead boy’s body in Brown County in 2006 was arrested in Goshen Township March 13 for drug trafficking and driving under the influence.

Amy Ramsey, 28, formerly

known as Amy Baker, of Williamsburg, was indicted on March 17 by a Clermont County grand jury on seven felony counts and one misdemeanor count while Chasity Haas, 23, of Fayetteville, a passenger in Ramsey’s car, was indicted last Wednesday by a Clermont County Grand jury on three felony counts.

The Eastern Local School District Board of Education voted 3-2 on March 16 to cut $703,840 from the district’s General Fund budget for the 2010-11 Fiscal Year.

As part of that vote, district students participating in extracurricular activities this coming academic year will have to pay an activity fee.

School board members, meeting in regular session, agreed to the cuts shortly after 10 p.m. this past Tuesday after receiving a handout from District Superintendent Alan Simmons containing his recommendations for General Fund cuts.

The vote followed an executive session the board had held to prepare for its negotiations with the district’s teachers’ union.

Cuts Had To Be Higher In a March 17 telephone interview, Simmons said board members had agreed last year to cut $421,000 from the 2010-11 General Fund based upon District Treasurer Kevin

Kendall’s five-year forecast of the district’s expected expenditures and receipts.

That amount had to be raised higher, however, according to Simmons, because of smaller than anticipated receipts of federal, state and local tax funds to help the district with its programs. He said the current recession had much to do with that.

“When the economy tanked, it hit the federal taxes, the state taxes and the local taxes,” the superintendent reported.

The superintendent said while the district opened a new Eastern Local High School and Sardinia Elementary School this past August, the cost of bringing in those new buildings was not a reason the General Fund cuts were needed; rather, it was the state of the current economy.

Money for those new buildings did not come out of the General Fund but largely through state funding with a bond issue and levy that district voters passed in 2005 paying the district’s share. The state also will pay 86 percent of the cost of a new Eastern Local CONTINUED ON PAGE 5

“She passed through the gate of eternal peace with the grace and dignity that defined her as a person and professional,” her sister, Lee Edwards, stated in a press release.

Westbound ramp to Highway 32 to close for over a month

BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press Another road construction project will soon mean more traffic headaches for Mt. Orab drivers.

Starting April 5, the westbound ramp to State Highway 32 from Highway 68 will be closed for 45 days.

The closure is part of a 4.1

million dollar road surfacing project for State Highway 32.

The project is expected to be complete at the end of October.

The resurfacing will begin at the Clermont County line and continue east until just past the Highway 68 overpass.

This means that drivers on Highway 68 who want to head west on State Highway 32 will

have to find other options.

The official detour from the Ohio Department of Transportation sends drivers north on 68 to 286 west, then to U.S. 50 west and then south on State Highway 133.

That trip is about 20 miles.

the new items will be placed in a section north of and on the same side as the current Skate Park, which occupies the southwestern section of Kathryn Hanlon Park.

Jones said the village had planned to purchase new Skate Park items as time went along.

The new items, which he said may arrive in 30 to 60 days, include different kinds of skateboard ramps, a slider box, rails and steps.

Steve Triplett, the only councilman to oppose the purchase, said in an interview following the meeting he just didn’t agree with the village spending money on those items while mentioning how the council that night also had heard first reading of an ordinance to raise electric rates in the village.

Truck Purchases Approved In other action at the meeting, council members approved in separate votes the purchases of two new trucks requested by Jones for the village.

One is a snow removal truck for the Street Department at a $57,835 cost and the other a utility truck for the Electric Department, which will be equipped with a snowplow, at a $29,835 cost.

Jones also informed council members the village had ordered a new 2010 Police Cruiser from Arena Dodge near Dayton. It will be purchased for a State Bid price of $20,716.50, which doesn’t include the installation cost of other equipment.

The vehicle, which will be leased for three years with an option to buy, will be financed through First State Bank in Georgetown.

Council members also suspended the rules and passed on its first reading an ordinance changing the name of North Kenwood Avenue to Northland Avenue as shown on the recorded plat of Third Addition to Northland Subdivision in Georgetown.

That action was taken in connection with the village’s completion last year on a North Kenwood Road Project at a $151,508 cost. A new road was constructed in the North Kenwood Road area back to a property whose owner may construct housing units there.

Large potholes located by Ed Kahle’s house on Hillcrest Road in Mount Orab.

Pothole predicaments!

Potholes are the scourge of spring -- when we hit them, we either grunt with frustration, or we suddenly need to go to a mechanic.

Potholes form when varying kinds of precipitation seep into already small cracks and holes on a paved road.

Once temperatures lower enough for the precipitation to freeze, the pavement becomes stressed, which allows the pavement to expand and the road to become uneven -- so much so that the holes become bigger and the paving material chips away.

Record snowfall within our state, plus days of freezing/thawing patterns have caused Ohio to be one of the best places for potholes to form.

This is causing headaches for those who live in Brown County.

“It’s ridiculous,” Mount Orab resident Ed Kahle said.

“In the past 20 years that I’ve lived on Hillcrest Road, people have come, put gravel down and patched it up -- and wouldn’t you know it, three to four days later we get what we started with: a big hole in the road.”

Paula Putnam, who has been with the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) for 15 years, understands peoples’ frustrations.

“Repairing potholes is a tricky process,” Putnam noted.

“We fix them one of two ways:

a hot patch or a cold mix.”

A cold mix is used in the winter time when temperatures do not allow for stable patching. It consists of asphalt, rocks, sand and emulsion, and is only used to patch the hole over until warmer temperatures arise, and allow for better patching to be accomplished.

“It is by no means a permanent solution,” Putnam added.

“It’s just something for traffic to get over.”

The other method is using a hot patch, where ingredients, with the help of warm temperatures, combine and fill the hole in, lasting much longer than a cold mix.

To work effectively, the asphalt must be at a high enough temperature for the patch to work like it is supposed to.

ODOT stresses the importance of public notification.

“We encourage all motorists to report potholes if they see one,” Putnam said. “Without phone calls, we do not know where most of these potholes are located.”

To report a pothole, you may call ODOT’s general information line at (614) 466-7170, option 4, or District 9’s general information line at (740) 7748834.

Since Nov. 1, 2009, more than 5,000 tons of mix material has been used to fix potholes, resulting in over 81,000 winter labor hours to accomplish.

Second reading is given of ordinance to increase Georgetown electric rates Council may vote on March 25 whether to approve the rate hikes

BY Wayne Boblitt The Brown County Press Electric rates are anticipated to rise in Georgetown soon, and possible steps toward those increases occurred at the Georgetown Village Council meetings on Feb. 25 and March 12.

Council members on Feb. 25 heard first reading of an ordinance establishing new rates for the village’s electric customers, and second reading of that ordinance was offered on March 12.

It took a tie-breaking vote

by Georgetown Mayor Dale Cahall, however, for the second reading to become official after council members deadlocked 3-3 in voting on that reading.

Disagreement Is Voiced Tony Councilman Applegate said at the March 12 meeting he didn’t agree there was a necessity of raising electric customers’ rates at the current time since the supplier of electricity to Georgetown, Duke Energy, hadn’t raised its rates to the village.

Applegate also said if the village raised its rates for consumers, he didn’t think a 17.5 percent hike was necessary but maybe only a 2 or 3 percent rate rise to help the village with its operational expenses regarding the supplying of electricity.

The 17.5 percent figure came in a report at the council’s Jan. 21 meeting from Council President Drew Watson, who also is chairman of the council’s Utilities which also Committee, includes councilmen Chris Renshaw and Dennis White.

Watson said the committee had discussed electric, water, and sewer rates and had mentioned a 17.5 percent electric rate increase was discussed as being needed.

Council members subsequently voted unanimously at their Jan. 28 meeting to authorize Village Solicitor Jay Cutrell to draw up an ordinance to enact electric rate increases in Georgetown.

Renshaw mentioned the village hadn’t had an electric rate increase in 16 years.

White said Georgetown utility customers need to understand the electric rate increase does not mean a 17.5 percent in their entire utility bill, which also includes charges for trash collection and water and sewage service.

Village Administrator Kelly Jones mentioned the village’s average profit on providing electric service was 4 percent during the last nine years. The village raised its electric rate from 1991 to 1994 by 10.85 percent but hadn’t enacted any hikes since then.

Cahall mentioned how village employee wages and the cost of equipment had gone up during the past 16 years, eating away at profits the village aimed to receive from providing electricity.

Substations May Be Needed Cahall mentioned the village may have to build new electric substations in the future to meet customers’ demand for that utility and said the village was almost faced with no choice but to raise electric rates in the long run.

The mayor said the village would review the upcoming

Construction slated to begin on Brown-52 project was scheduled to begin Thursday, March 18, with crews installing a barrier wall. Throughout construction, the route will be reduced to one, 10-foot lane, and traffic will be maintained by temporary traffic signals.

Sunesis Construction of West Chester, Ohio, was awarded a contract in the amount of approximately $1.11 million in November, and the project is scheduled to be completed by August 31.

“Of course, with the start of the construction season, as well as increased maintenance activities during the spring and summer months, it is important to remind motorists of the need for additional safety when they are traveling in work zones,” added Brushart.

As spring approaches and the construction season gets started, contractors for the Ohio Department of Transportation were tol begin a slide repair project on U.S. Route 52 in Brown County last Thursday.

According to ODOT District 9 Deputy Director James Brushart, crews from Sunesis Construction will be repairing a slide at the route’s 16.16-mile marker. The project site is located approximately 0.37 miles east of Township Road 232 (Logan Gap Road), between Ripley and Aberdeen.

“As we start the 2010 construction season, ODOT is delivering the largest construction program in Ohio history,” said Brushart. “It will be a busy year for the district, as well as the entire department, and projects such as this slide repair are necessary and important for the preservation our transportation infrastructure.”

Before voting on second reading of that ordinance at their March 12 meeting, council members went into an executive session apparently to discuss Georgetown’s contract with Duke Energy.

The third reading on the proposed electric rate hike ordinance possibly may be given at the council’s meeting this coming Thursday, March 25.

Jobs are the key to the future It is interesting to listen to the news from Washington D.C. declaring that the nation is now recovering from the recession. However, everywhere I look in southern Ohio, the unemployment rate continues to climb. With that in mind, I wanted to provide information on employment resources.

One valuable resource we have in southern Ohio is employment service centers called One-Stops that provide a bundle of services at one location for job seekers. OneStops are located throughout Ohio and more than 30 agencies, including the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services (ODJFS), participate with them. These employment service centers connect job seekers with employers looking to hire.

They provide valuable education and training on issues like resume writing, interview skills and higher education.

One-Stops also offer job seekers weekly workshops and use of equipment including

DANNY BUBP Internet access, fax machines, copiers and telephones. For more information about OneStops and other resources the centers offer, please call (866) 443-Work for Adams and Brown Counties and (513) 943-3000 for Clermont County.

When looking for a job it is important to effectively market yourself. Posting a resume online for employers and workforce professionals to see is a quick and easy way to make your credentials available and easily accessible.

Using sites like www.OhioMeansJobs.com allows job seekers to post résumés or search electronically for job opportunities around Ohio. Managed by ODJFS and partnered with the nationally reputable job site

What Do You Think?

“What do you like best about spring?”

Do citizens have the courage to stand up?

Dear Editor, Given the current state of our nation, is it any wonder about how many have managed to fall into a state of despair? One can certainly understand the misgivings of the American people and why anyone would hang on to a defeatist attitude. But it also must be reasoned that the government, left unchecked and allowed to run rampant has brought us to the brink of collapse. Given these same conditions, our founding fathers would have chosen revolt over compliance. It has even been written into our nation’s constitution that the citizenry has an obligation to revolt when the government oversteps its intended set of boundaries. My question: Why have we embraced cowardice and compliance as a people over outrage and action to try and correct the problem?

Instead of the people fearing the government, the government ought to fear the people -- but this is no longer the case, and we’re in trouble because of it. But, even still, is our being vulnerable enough motivation to push us into reclaiming the constitu-

tionally provided steps toward revolt by the nation’s citizenry?

If we were to be educated along the lines of knowing what is really contained in our nation’s constitution, we would know that the concept of revolt would be easily applied when a threat looms over the people and is perceived as being enacted by those in power. If we were to investigate why this provision exists, it would become evident that our founding fathers were very taken with the idea of revolt -- much of it influenced by the French Revolution and the ideas circulating around during the time of Enlightenment.

If we are a government of the people, by the people, and for the people, then it must be understood that the people must define for themselves what the limits of government must be -- and enforce those limits at all costs. The question remains: Do we have anyone with the gumption and the conviction to do as our founding father’s intended -- or has the wind been taken out of our sails? Time will tell.

Brown invites Ohioans to apply for nomination to U.S. Service Academies U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) encouraged Ohioans to seek nomination from his office to U.S. Military Service Academies for 2011 admission.

“I am honored to nominate young Ohioans for admission to our nation’s service academies,” Brown said. “These academies develop the next generation of leaders who will serve our country as military officers.”

Each year, Brown nominates up to 10 students for each service academy: Air Force Academy, the Naval Academy, the Military Academy at West Point, and the Merchant Marine Academy. Student

applicants are reviewed by a committee of active and retired military and community leaders appointed by Brown.

Selected students are provided with the required congressional recommendation upon applying for admission.

Interested students who meet the eligibility requirements should send their completed application to Brown’s Cleveland office no later than October 1, 2010. The application process is time-intensive.

Applicants should plan well in advance.

Inquiries can be directed to Brown’s Academy Coordinator at his Cleveland office at (888) 896-6446.

It’s been a busy week here at the salt mine.

I discovered a sign on the 32 onramp from 68 saying that the ramp would be closed for 45 days starting next month. (You can find the article on page one if you haven’t already savored every slavedover word.)

After my initial unprintable reaction to seeing the sign, I put in some calls to the Ohio Department of Transportation and visited the Mt. Orab Police Department to track things down.

Chief Bryan Mount seemed less than thrilled with the prospect of more traffic headaches.

Speaking of traffic headaches, I did a story last September on the 68/32 traffic.

I can assure you that your political leaders are fully aware of the issues.

Studies have been done and money has been requested.

A bypass around Mt. Orab from 68 to 32, and the need to upgrade the 68 overpass over 32 are among things being discussed.

But state and federal money and bureaucracy are involved, of course, so things are moving at the speed you would expect.

One way you can help is to fill out the census form that you will be getting in the mail soon, if you haven’t already.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Middle School anticipated in the future with the district paying its share from money set aside for that purpose.

Vote On Cuts Was 3-2 After being presented with the cuts, board members made two changes before voting on the proposed package Simmons had presented.

The superintendent had proposed cutting his own salary by $17,480 during the next fiscal year, which begins Thursday, July 1. That proposal, however, also extended his contract, which concludes at the end of the 2010-11 Fiscal Year, by one year with an additional $17,480 to be cut that year (the 2011-12 Fiscal Year).

After a motion was made to eliminate that proposed cut, board member Michael Hoskins said he thought the district was making a big mistake to take that action. He said Simmons had volunteered to take salary cuts for two years and mentioned the money the district could save from the superintendent’s salary reductions over two years could save another worker’s position from being eliminated altogether.

Hoskins said he thought the board’s proposed action to eliminate those voluntary cuts would do an injustice to the district.

Board member Kenneth Kelch also said he supported Simmons’ voluntary cuts and added about the superintendent, “I think he has done a reputable job.”

The other change the board made was to a proposed activity fee that would be charged a district student to participate and which would help fund a partic-

ular activity.

Simmons’ recommendation had been for a student to pay $50 to participate in one activity and $40 for each additional activity in which he or she participated. Board members ended up changing the fee to $100 for the first activity and a $200 maximum per student and $300 per family.

Simmons said some school activities directly tied into an academic class wouldn’t require payment for participation including most FFA activities (which are tied in to ELHS’ vocational agricultural program) and some band and chorus activities in the district.

Board President Martin Yockey, Vice President Brian Garrett and board member Vernon Creighton all voted for Simmons’ proposed budget cuts with the elimination of cuts to his own salary and the change in student activity fees while Hoskins and Kelch voted against the proposal.

Cuts Are Announced The approved cuts impact full-time paid positions as well as athletic and academic supplemental positions.

Before the board’s vote on the cuts, Simmons commented last Tuesday about his proposals, “I tried to minimize the effect on instruction and spread it over a wide area.”

In his telephone interview this past Wednesday, Simmons didn’t identify any staff member by name whose position was being eliminated. He also said the effects of some cuts would amount to “musical chairs” as some people would be moved to some lesser positions and knock some employees out of those positions who had less seniority.

Paid positions that were cut included: • Transfers of two District Central Office staff members, one of whom currently works under Simmons and the other of whom currently works under Kendall.

The two transferred employees together would take over one aide’s duties, and that aide would become a special education aide and fill a current special education position, bumping out another employee. The savings from those changes would be $20,000.

• The elimination of six other aide positions totaling $120,000.

• The elimination of a principal position, a librarian position and an elementary school/middle school guidance counselor position, with those current employees being reassigned to teaching positions and three teachers with lesser seniority losing their positions as a result, resulting in a $180,000 saving to the district ($60,000 per position).

Simmons said the principal of one of the district’s four schools would have to fill in as principal as well at the school whose principal position is being eliminated and added an aide would have to take over the duties of the librarian whose position was being eliminated.

• The elimination of six additional classroom teachers for a $360,000 savings altogether.

Two teaching positions would be cut each at SES and Russellville Elementary School while one each would be cut at ELHS and ELMS. Supplemental Cuts Made Athletic and academic supplemental position that were cut included:

• ELHS reserve baseball and reserve softball coaching positions and a flag corps advisor position for an overall savings of $4,272 ($1,424 per position).

Additional savings as well could come from transportation that would not have to be made to events and officials who would not be employed to referee games.

• ELHS reserve volleyball coaching position at a $1,595 savings plus some transportation and officials savings.

• The ELHS athletic director’s position at a $5,840 savings and the ELMS athletic director’s position at a $2,657 savings. The high school principal and middle school principal would take over the respective high school and middle school athletic directing duties as part of their jobs.

• While the funds were not a part of the $703,840 in savings, the district saved $2,848 it might otherwise have spent by not starting reserve boys soccer and reserve girls soccer programs that were to be brought in during the 2010-11 Fiscal Year with their head coaches being paid $1,424 each.

• ELHS yearbook advisor, a $1,595 savings; ELHS Drama Club advisor, $1,481; ELHS mock trial advisor, $1,424; ELHS academic team advisor, $963; ELMS academic team advisor, $688; ELMS yearbook advisor, $642; and advisors for the ELMS eighth-grade Power of The Pen program and seventh-grade Power of The Pen program, $601 each.

Simmons mentioned ELHS yearbook activities would be undertaken during a class period (but apparently not after school hours). He also said the district

Jane Massie is remembered as a caring educator CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 years in the district.

Ms. Massie began her educational career in 1973 as a fourthgrade teacher at Minerva Elementary School in Mason County, Ky., and then spent one year as a fifth-grade teacher at Fayetteville-Perry Elementary School.

She joined the RULH Elementary School staff in 1977 as a fourth-grade teacher and also taught second, third and fifth-grade students during her years there. In addition to her elementary school work in the RULH District, she became an adjunct professor in 1994 teaching students one night per week at Maysville Community College in Kentucky and served as a college instructor until 2000.

Ms. Massie was promoted to RULH Elementary School assistant principal in 2001 and then was hired by the RULH Local School District Board of Education as that school’s principal in 2003.

When she took the helm of that Southern Brown County school, it was on “academic watch” by the Ohio Department of Education but when she retired earlier this year, RULH Elementary School was classified by ODE as “Excellent”.

In her retirement letter read at the Jan. 27 meeting of the RULH School Board, Ms. Massie stated, “It has been a wonderful 33 years in the RULH School District. I have been fortunate to have had excellent educators to work with.”

A crowd estimated at more than 300 people had gathered at the Jan. 27 school board meeting in the RULH High School Cafeteria concerning a personnel matter that was before the board that night. When the board voted

to accept Ms. Massie’s retirement, those gathered gave the principal, who was not in attendance, a standing ovation.

Upon her retirement, RULH Elementary School honored Ms. Massie with a dedication to her of a section of the school library.

An attractive plaque will mark that area of the library.

Supervisor Lauds Colleague “You cannot say enough nice things about Ms. Massie,” Susan Owens said. “She was a great educator, both as a teacher and a principal.”

Owens, who is RULH District technology supervisor, is serving as principal pro tem at RULH Elementary School, that school’s current top onsite administrator. The RULH District School Board appointed her to that position after Ms. Massie no longer was able to be at that building in person.

While Ms. Massie couldn’t be at RULH Elementary School herself, she communicated with the school’s staff nearly daily by Internet teleconferencing in which she could see and hear those staff members and they

could see and hear her, according to Owens, who added Ms. Massie also stayed in touch with the school staff through e-mails.

Owens said Ms. Massie stayed in touch because she cared about the elementary school and was wanting to make sure everything still was going all right in her absence. She said Ms. Massie was a proud professional “especially when it came to her staff, her students and her building”.

She added, “You could not find anyone who would work as hard to make our school district, especially her building, be what it should be.”

Owens described Ms. Massie as a great friend whose work and job were her drive and a generous and caring person.

The principal pro tem mentioned how four RULH Elementary School teachers sang “Amazing Grace” at Ms. Massie’s funeral on Sunday, March 14, at Cahall Funeral Home in Ripley. Owens said the entire staff of that school and the RULH Local School District will miss Ms. Massie.

She also reported a scholarship awarded annually to a RULH High School graduating senior by RULH Elementary School teachers has been renamed the Jane Massie Memorial Scholarship.

Superintendent Praises Her The former principal also was a highly unselfish educator, according to Charles Birkholtz, who became the RULH Local School District’s newest superintendent in June 2009.

Birkholtz and Owens were among the speakers at Ms. Massie’s funeral, Edwards reported, with speakers also including former RULH Local School District Superintendent

Stephen Oborn and RULH Elementary School Nurse Donna Sutton. All spoke of how Ms. Massie had impacted their lives and expressed their great respect for her.

Ms. Massie’s obituary may be read on Page 10 of today’s edition of The Brown County Press.

would save some transportation costs with the elimination of the academic team and Power of The Pen programs.

• A piano accompanist position at a $1,481 savings with the paid duties that person formerly undertook being completed instead by an affected class or by volunteers.

Simmons reported there is the

possibility some eliminated programs could still go on at their respective schools next year if volunteers can raise funds to pay their coaches or advisors (with coaches or advisors also possibly serving as non-paid volunteers) and also pay any required officials such as referees and transportation costs.

Suspect gained Brown County notoriety with 2006 Fiesel case CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Police Officer Interviewed Goshen Township Police Cpl. Ron Robinson reported in a telephone interview he had stopped a southbound vehicle at about 1 a.m. March 13 in the 6500 Block of State Route 132 whose driver allegedly was speeding and committing a marked lanes violation (going left of center).

Robinson said the driver, whom he identified as being Ramsey, was arrested for DUI after being subjected to some sobriety field tests.

He also said she had two Percocets, a prescription drug, in her possession for which she had no prescription. The police officer said Ramsey told him she was taking that drug for an injury she had suffered.

Robinson reported that in his conservation with Ramsey that night she said she had been to the Kroger supermarket in Goshen.

In a cassette disc recording of Robinson’s conservation with Ramsey that was provided to The Brown County Press, Ramsey said she was coming from Kroger where she had met with her cousin, who had owed her money.

The passenger in Ramsey’s car was heard on that cassette disc as telling the police officer “she (Ramsey) wasn’t doing anything, she was just headed home”, to which the police officer responded she had been speeding and driving left of center.

He said he had been investigating Ramsey’s alleged activities two months before her arrest and claimed she had been selling drugs the night of her arrest.

Both Ramsey, Haas Indicted A Clermont County grand jury indicted Ramsey on two counts of aggravated trafficking in drugs, four counts of traffick-

ing in drugs, one count of aggravated possession of drugs, and one count of operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs.

Ramsey’s indictment claims she committed the two alleged aggravated trafficking offenses and two of the alleged trafficking offenses in the vicinity of a juvenile.

Ramsey was lodged in the Clermont County Adult Detention Center near Batavia under a $100,000 bond.

She was still lodged in that Detention Center as of the morning of March 18, according to the Clermont County Common Pleas Court.

The Clermont County grand jury indicted Haas on one count of aggravated trafficking in drugs, in connection with an alleged offense of selling or offering to sell Hydrocodone this past March 13. Her indictment claims she committed that alleged offense in the vicinity of a juvenile.

She also was indicted on two counts of trafficking in drugs for allegedly selling or offering to sell both Hydrocodone and Clonazepam this past March 5.

Haas is out on a $30,000 Own Recognizance Bond with the cosignature of her mother, according to Clermont County Common Pleas Court.

An indictment means a grand jury found that enough evidence exists that an accused person likely committed the crime(s) with which he or she is charged.

An indictment by itself, however, does not mean the person is guilty of a specific crime or crimes or that he or she actually committed a specific crime or crimes.

Fiesel Case Recalled Ramsey became widely known in Brown County as Amy Baker in 2006 and 2007 in connection with the death and

subsequent disposal of the body of Marcus Fiesel, a 3-year-old developmentally-challenged boy.

Marcus perished in August 2006 after being bound and locked in a closet inside the home foster parents David and Liz Carroll rented in Clermont County’s Union Township while the Carrolls and Baker, who lived with them, traveled to a family reunion in Kentucky.

Baker testified in Liz Carroll’s trial in February 2007 in Batavia that, after discovering Marcus’ body upon their return from the reunion three days later, she led David Carroll to an abandoned rural chimney in Brown County’s Lewis Township and watched as David Carroll tried to burn Marcus’ corpse multiple times.

She testified under oath the parts of Marcus’ body that would not burn were placed inside pillowcases and she watched while David Carroll dumped the remains over the side of the William H. Harsha Bridge into the Ohio River in an effort to dispose of any evidence left concerning the crime.

That Aberdeen bridge connects Brown County with

Mason County and Ohio with Since Kentucky Kentucky. claims jurisdiction over most of the Ohio River, a grand jury in Mason County, Ky., indicted Baker and David Carroll on July 27, 2007, on one count each of tampering with physical evidence, a Class D felony, in connection with Marcus’ death.

There was some controversy in Ohio regarding the Kentucky indictment against Baker since Clermont County prosecutors had made an immunity deal with her in exchange for her damaging testimony against the Carrolls, who are serving prison sentences thanks to that testimony.

A special judge in Mason County Circuit Court ruled on Feb. 14, 2008, Baker would not stand trial in that court in Maysville, Ky., on the tampering charge. Maysville attorney Raymond Bogucki, the lead attorney on Baker’s defense team, said Judge Lewis Nicholls based his 32-page decision on ambiguity regarding an Ohio plea agreement that reportedly existed between Ohio and Kentucky prosecutors in Baker’s case that impacted both states.

Meranda to sue Gusweiler CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 that the judge wanted a set of keys to the office by the end of the day.

Meranda contacted Brown County Prosecuting Attorney Jessica Little for advice.

Little told Meranda to request a court order from Gusweiler stating his jurisdiction over her office and justifying his possession of the keys.

Meranda said the judge arrived with the court order which read “It is hereby ordered that Tina Meranda, Brown County Clerk of Courts, shall provide a key to all public entrances of the Brown County Clerk of Courts Office to the Court by

the end of the business day on the date of this filing.”

Meranda said she turned over the keys “so I wouldn’t go to jail and have my two little boys be without their mom for the weekend.”

Deters said the lawsuit will go beyond the scope of the validity of the court order and address the “bigger picture” of the incident.

Gusweiler has withheld comment on this issue to date.

and assisting with traffic”, Mount said.

One of the other options, County Road 24 or the TriCounty Highway, is down to just the westbound lane because of bridge construction just west of Highway 68 and Main Street in Mt. Orab.

Mount added that he expects some drivers to choose Bardwell West road as an option to get onto State Highway 32, and cautions them to be careful.

“That (68-Bardwell) intersection was not designed to accommodate that amount of traffic. It’s a safety issue”, Mount said.

He said he expects drivers from south of Mt. Orab heading north on Highway 68 will turn left on Carpenter Road and right on Boyd Road to get to the Tri-County Highway and then onto State Route 32 from there.

Mount said his department will do “whatever it takes” to make sure that traffic problems in that area are kept to a minimum, including ticketing drivers who may choose to cut through parking lots to avoid traffic backups.

Mount also questioned the planning process at the Ohio Department of Transportation.

“I begin to wonder if the people who plan these projects have been in Mt. Orab to observe the amount of traffic here”, he said.

Mount added that he anticipates the closure and resulting traffic changes to be a “significant inconvenience” to drivers.

Kathleen Fuller with the ODOT District 9 office in Chillicothe said that the ramp from Highway 68 north to State Highway 32 east will also be closed at some point to complete the resurfacing project. *** Your friends are fans, are you?

The Brown County Press - Sunday, March 21, 2010 - Page 7

Former congressman talks about Ohio’s economy, education issues CMYK

BY Wayne Boblitt The Brown County Press

The economy and education were the main subjects Republican gubernatorial candidate John Kasich discussed March 13 as the keynote speaker at the Annual Brown County Lincoln Day Celebration in Georgetown.

An estimated 225 people listened to Kasich at the Celebration, a dinner and political event sponsored by the Brown County Republican Club at Fraternal Order of Eagles Hall.

Kasich, 57, a former U.S. representative and host of a Fox News Channel television program, “Heartland With John Kasich”, is challenging first-

term incumbent Democratic governor Ted Strickland in the Ohio governor’s race, which will be decided by voters in the 2010 General Election on Tuesday, Nov. 2.

According to different Internet sources, Kasich is leading in some polls and Strickland is leading in others. Many polls indicate a tight race this early in the campaign.

Kasich Touring Entire State Kasich, a Westerville resident, began his speech by mentioning he was about ready to complete a campaign tour of all 88 Ohio counties.

He said one can learn a lot about other people through such a tour, mentioning how unemployment is “through the roof” in Northwestern Ohio (Toledo

area) and the child poverty rate is 29 percent in Vinton County in Southeastern Ohio.

“What people want is a chance, an opportunity, a job,” he said.

Kasich said he wants children to have better opportunities in the future than what they do now in Ohio.

He said that is why so many people are turning out to support him in so many places. “They are all worried about their children.”

Kasich talked about how he grew up in McKees Rock, Pa., and how his father, who was the son of a coal miner, became the first in his family to graduate from high school.

He said his parents urged him if he ever had a chance to make a difference in other people’s lives to do so.

“For whatever reason in my life, I have made a difference,”

Suspect arrested for aggravated burglary Sheriff Dwayne Wenninger reports that on March 10, 2010 at approximately 3 p.m. the Brown County Sheriff’s

RULH kindergarten registration Ripley Union Lewis Huntington Elementary School held their kindergarten registration on Thursday, Mar. 11.

If you missed it and have a child who will be 5-years-old on or before Sep. 30, now is the time to register them for the RULH 2010-11 kindergarten class.

You are encouraged to stop at the RULH Elementary office between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. to complete registration paperwork.

Please bring as many of the following documents to be copied for the school’s record: Birth certificate with raised seal, up-to-date immunization record, social security number for the student, photo I.D. for the parent, proof of residence and custody papers (if applicable).

Office was dispatched to a reported burglary at 7189 St. Rt. 221, Georgetown, Ohio.

Sheriff Wenninger stated that the victims were returning home when they found Keith Long, 37 years of age, of 7179 St. Rt. 221 leaving their property. The victims discovered that their house had been broken into and notified the Sheriff’s Office.

A broadcast was issued on the suspect’s vehicle and direction of travel. At approximately 4 p.m., Clermont County Deputies Kirker and Vetters located and stopped the suspect’s vehicle on St. Rt. 756 South of Richie Road near Felicity. Clermont County Deputies arrested Keith Long, who was also wanted on outstanding warrants through Clermont County, and transported him to the Clermont County Detention Center.

The Brown County Sheriff’s Office had the suspect’s vehicle towed to the Brown County Sheriff’s Office and a search warrant

was obtained by Brown County Municipal Court Judge Joseph M. Worley.

During the vehicle search, guns, knives and a lock box belonging to the victims were recovered. Keith Long was arrested for Aggravated Burglary, a 1st degree Felony.

He was later arraigned in Brown County Municipal Court and given a $10,000.00 cash, surety, property bond.

Long posted bond and was released from custody on March 13, 2010.

Sheriff Wenninger would like to thank the Clermont County Sheriff’s Office for their assistance in this case.

takes to rehabilitate the state government’s budget and finances because of his political and business experience.

He also said he thought agriculture had been too long ignored in Ohio, and when asked about the effort by groups such as the Humane Society of the United States to get a ballot issue passed in Ohio this coming November to regulate animal farming in the state, “For the Humane Society to come in and shut farms down is unacceptable.”

Kasich also said he is conservative on many issues, mentioning among others how he is prolife on the abortion issue and supports gun owners’ Second Amendment rights.

Kasich said.

Kasich ran for and was elected to the Ohio State Senate at age 26 and then was elected in 1982 at age 30 to the U.S. House of Representatives from a Columbus-area congressional district. He was subsequently reelected to eight more two-year U.S. House terms before leaving Congress after its 1999-2000 Session.

After serving six years in the U.S. House, Kasich became a member of that governing body’s very important Budget Committee.

Kasich said he looked at the federal budget like a family or a small business would look at a budget. He said when politicians are unwilling to make decisions on a budget, it’s the children of that time who will pay later.

“If we shackle our kids with debt because we couldn’t make decisions, how does that go down?” he asked.

Kasich said he is running for Ohio governor “because Ohio has been good to me,” mentioning how he and his wife have 10year-old twin daughters.

Ohio Economy Discussed He claimed Ohio has lost 350,000 jobs since Strickland became governor in 2007 and said a lot of young people who live in Ohio leave the state after graduating from college.

“They go where the jobs are, and you know why?” he asked his audience. “To live their dreams.”

He said the state has driven them out because of a huge lack of job opportunities in Ohio.

Kasich said the state needed to balance its budget and look over the necessity of each state program without any political consideration, commenting “Ohio’s families should get their money’s worth.”

Pre-Speech Interview Given In an interview with media representatives before his speech, Kasich said Ohio, if it hopes to get more jobs, needs to create an environment where business owners think they can make money if they locate in the state.

With the state’s current business regulations, he said Ohio right now has “a ‘Go Away’ sign on the border”.

Kasich said he knows what it

New AED and quick thinking help save Fayetteville man’s life

B R O A D S H E E T

The timing for placing a new Automated External Defibrillator (AED) in the lobby at Mercy Hospital Clermont couldn’t have been better. Just a few weeks after it was installed, the device, along with some quick action and expertise by two nurses, saved Harry Butler’s life.

Mr. Butler was in the lobby at Mercy Clermont, registering for a procedure when he suddenly collapsed. “The last thing I remember was handing her (the registrar) my insurance card, then everything went black,” said Mr. Butler. A call immediately went out for the rapid response team, which alerts any physicians or nurses who are nearby to respond for a patient in distress. Shelley Buchanan, RN, the physician liaison for the hospital and a registered nurse, responded immediately to find that Mr. Butler was not breathing. “He had gone into full cardiac arrest,” said Shelley.

She began administering CPR. Seconds later, Kim Gamble, RN, responded and pulled the new AED from the wall and the two nurses worked together to administer the defibrillator. In a matter of minutes the man was breathing again and had regained consciousness. "It was the first time either of us actually used the AED, but it was great and we were thankful to have had the training," said Shelley Buchanan. "The AED was critical to help resuscitate the gentleman."

Mr. Butler is thankful it was there and that the staff was so quick and effective in their response. “I love this hospital; everyone here is great and the care and treatment I received are the reason I’m still here.”

Mr. Butler, who is from Fayetteville, has been a patient in the Cardio-Pulmonary Rehabilitation program at Mercy Clermont for the past five years, after having heart surgery. His collapse was apparently caused by low potassium levels in his system.

He takes diuretics but was waiting for his medications through the mail, so he started cutting back his dosage to help conserve the medicine, which led to the drop in potassium levels.

The new AED was purchased with donations secured by the Mercy Foundation.

Interestingly, a key advocate for AED's is Mr. Butler’s sonin-law, Doug Martin, vice-president of the Cincinnati Metro Chapter of the American Heart Association. “I’m just thankful that when the incident occurred he was in capable hands and that there was an AED close by to help revive him before he suffered any serious damage,” said Mr. Martin. “This really does show that people who know CPR and can use an AED, can save lives.”

Meanwhile, Mr. Butler is back to attending his CardioPulmonary Rehab classes at Mercy Clermont three times a week and has returned to all of his normal activities.

THE REJECTED ONE

Today I want to talk about loud voices. Turn with me to Luke 22:63: “And the men that held Jesus mocked him and smote him.” Verse 65: “And many other things blasphemously spake they against him.” They spoke blasphemously against Jesus Christ!

Blasphemy is impious, profane, or mocking speech concerning God or sacred things. These people were expressing contempt for the personality and authority of God. In another place in the Bible they falsely called Jesus a blasphemer because He said He was God. These people were truly blasphemers because they said He was not God. Then He was taken before the Sanhedrin and they asked: “Art thou the Christ? tell us. And he said unto them, If I tell you, ye will not believe:” Verse 69-71: “Hereafter shall the Son of man sit on the right hand of the power of God. Then said they all, Art thou then the Son of man? And he said unto them, Ye say that I am. And they said, What need we any further witness? for we ourselves have heard of his own mouth.” Jesus was, is, and always will be the Son of God. The Son of God who mercifully and graciously left heaven to be born of a virgin. Sin is only passed down through the father; therefore, Christ was born a holy, sinless child and He remained sinless. The body which He took on was made of the woman. His Father is God. He is perfectly innocent of all sin. But look with me in Luke 23:2 when they had brought him before Pilate: “And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this fellow perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying that he himself is Christ the King! Four times was Christ brought before people of authority. First He was brought before the high priests, then Pilate. Pilate sent him to Herod and Herod sent Him back to Pilate who sent Him to the cross. I am talking about loud, accusing, abusing, complaining, angry voices. We have more voices today than we have ever had in the world before and a lot of them are making the same sounds.

Look at verses 10-11: “And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused him.

And Herod with his men of war set him at nought, and mock him...” Christ never defended Himself then and He does not need to defend Himself now. He

DR. CHARLES SMITH MT. ORAB BIBLE BAPTIST CHURCH www.bbcmtorab.com told the truth. He is the truth, the way, and the life! People cursed His name then and they are still cursing His name. Romans 3: 1014 states: “As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. Their throat is an open sepulcher; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips: Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness: Their feet are swift to shed blood:...” The only righteousness in this world is the righteousness of Christ.

And the only way we can obtain that is by accepting Him as our Lord and Saviour. But listen to what the people of that day said in Luke 23:18-19: “And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas: (Who for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison.)”

They would rather have a murderer put back into society than to accept Christ as Lord. Does that sound familiar even today? Verse 21: “But they cried, saying, Crucify him, crucify him.” Verse 23: “And they were instant with loud voices requiring that he might be crucified. And the voices of them and of the chief priests prevailed.” The Bible tells us, because of their shared enmity toward Christ, that Herod and Pilate became friends. We are living in a day when the world is coming together as friends because of their common hatred toward Christianity. Even in America Christ is being taken out of everything and anything public. Loud and angry voices are speaking out against Christianity and prevailing. Where are the voices of Christianity?

BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press In a bond hearing held Monday afternoon, Van Tielen pleaded not guilty to all ten counts. Common Pleas Judge Scott Gusweiler then assigned Van Tielen a five hundred thousand dollar bond.

Brown County Assistant

Prosecuting Attorney Chris Erhardt requested a high bond based on Van Tielen's prior rape convictions in New Jersey.

Van Tielen was arrested last week.

County Chief Brown Deputy John Schadle is the lead investigator on the case.

He said the images he wit-

nessed that were in Van Tielen's possession were very disturbing.

"I've been in this business a long time and this is the worst stuff I've ever seen", Schadle said.

Schadle said that the arrest was the result of a tip from the Georgia Bureau of Criminal Investigations Unit.

The GBCI seized a computer during an investigation and discovered e-mails containing child pornography had been exchanged between that computer and Van Tielen's.

With the information, the Brown County Sheriff's Office was able to get a search warrant for Van Tielen's home.

Items seized during the

search include a computer and various electronic media devices, all of which contained child pornography according to Schadle.

He added that there were "many more" pictures seized, with each picture carrying a mandatory two year prison sentence.

The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation is currently conducting a forensic search of the items.

Van Tielen is currently incarcerated at the Brown County Adult Detention Center.

Van Tielen pleaded guilty in Bergen County. New Jersey to robbing and raping four elderly women between 1987 and 1990.

He was sentenced to 30 years in prison in June of 1991, but was released in 2007.

In an article from the Bergen County Record from June 18, 1991, Van Tielen's lawyer defended him.

Wakely Paul of the Bergen County Public Defender's Office said sex-crime specialists had found Van Tielen an "exceptional" candidate for

rehabilitation.

"Most people have either enlarged sexual appetites or are pedophiles", Paul said in the Record.

"But in this particular case, they thought he suffers from a chronic personality disturbance which results in bizarre behavior. Based on that, it would appear this guy can be cured."

Van Tielen was a registered sex offender with the Brown County Sheriff's Department.

Warriors capture district crown with win over Pirates

By Ritchie Butler The Brown County Press The Eastern Warriors captured the division III Southeast District championship on Saturday, downing the Wheelersburg Pirates by a score of 72-56 at the Convocation Center on the campus of Ohio University.

“Shooting takes care of a multitude of sins,” said Eastern coach Rob Beucler.

“And we shot 65 percent from

the field. They had several good players with certain strengths, but our kids responded to them well.”

The first quarter belonged to Eastern as the Warriors got off to a hot start. Austin Smith, Taylor Little and Tyler Knabb all drained 3-pointers in the first 2 1/2 minutes, giving Eastern a 9-0 lead.

With 5:16 left in the opening period, Little canned another three, putting the Warriors on top, 12-2.

After Shane Ward scored on a drive for the Pirates, Eastern reeled off 12 unanswered points. Little and Knabb each hit jump shots. Jordan Payne scored layup. Little stuck back an offensive board and added a shot in the paint and Smith finished the run with a drive.

Andy Stegman hit a jumper for Wheelersburg in the final minute of the frame, but when the horn sounded, Eastern held a 24-6 lead.

The Warriors started the second stanza where they left off in the first. Brett Stout converted a three-point play.

Payne nailed a 3-pointer, followed by a Little basket in the post. With 5:41 remaining in the half, Eastern’s lead ballooned to 32-9.

Tyler Lang hit a three and Stegman added a free throw for the Pirates before Little and Knabb responded with a basket each.

Stegman scored in the lane for Wheelersburg, but Payne answered with a 3-pointer.

With just over two minutes left on the clock, Eastern pushed its advantage to 39-15.

Wheelersburg scored four points in the final two minutes and Tanner Dabe made a nice move in the post for the Warriors, giving Eastern a comfortable 41-19 lead at the

break.

“Taylor played so hard and he did so many things well,” said Beucler. “Especially in that first half.”

Little finished the first half with 16 points.

In the second half, Knabb took center stage offensively.

He opened the third quarter with a long three and added two more in the frame.

Knabb’s second trifecta came after Wheelersburg had scored nine-straight points, cutting Eastern’s advantage to 48-34.

The Pirates trimmed the deficit to 51-38 with just under a minute left after Andrew Bendolph and Lang scored on drives.

Again, Knabb answered the call with a long three. Payne made a layup in the closing seconds of the period, giving Eastern a 56-38 lead heading into the fourth quarter.

Wheelersburg scored the first five points of the final frame, cutting the Warriors’ edge to 56-43.

Knabb made good on 3-of-4 from the line in a 30-second span and Payne added a layup on a nice cut, putting Eastern in front 61-45.

Smith made 6-of-6 from the line in the final three minutes.

Little added two charity tosses and Aaron Wendel netted a late three, preserving the 7256 win and giving the Warriors a district title.

“Austin was sick this week, so we tried to rest him a little,” said Beucler. “He played well tonight and he made 6-of-8 from the line in the fourth quarter, which was a plus.

Also, our kids came off the bench and gave us some great minutes tonight.”

Little led all scorers with 20 points. Knabb added 19 for the Warriors. Payne chipped in 14 points and Smith finished with 11. Stout and Wendel each contributed three tallies and Dabe netted two.

Zac Carter got the Tigers going with a 3-pointer just one minute into the game.

Fourteen seconds later, Taylor Little responded with a three of his own for the Warriors, tying the count at 3-3.

Eastern’s Taylor Little takes the ball strong to the hoop during the Warriors’ loss to Ironton.

Clay Garrett made 1-of-2 free throws, giving Eastern its first lead of the night, at 4-3, with 6:28 left in the first period.

Then Tim Kochendoerfer went to work for Ironton. He scored on a drive and canned a three, putting the Tigers on top, 10-4.

Little scored two buckets for the Warriors, cutting Ironton's lead to 10-8 at the midway point of the first quarter.

After Travis Elliot scored in the post, giving Ironton a 12-8 edge, Eastern reeled off sixstraight points. Jordan Payne hit two jumpers and Tyler Knabb added a layup. With just over one minute left in the first, Eastern held a 14-12 advantage. Unfortunately, it was the Warriors' last lead of the night.

Kochendoerfer and Jason Taylor each connected from long range before the end of the period, giving the Tigers an 18-14 lead after one complete.

Ironton held the Warriors scoreless for nearly half the second quarter and scored the first seven points of the frame.

Knabb ended Eastern's drought with 4:13 left in the half when he hit a three, cutting the deficit to 25-17.

Knabb added a layup and another 3-pointer in the next minute, but Kochendoerfer answered with two threes of his own for the Tigers. By the end of the half, Ironton claimed a 37-24 lead.

“They controlled the boards and got a lot of transition baskets,” said Beucler.

Little opened the third period with a free throw and two layups, trimming the Tigers'

lead to 37-29 with 6:31 remaining in the period.

“When we cut it to eight, we were doing things well,” added Beucler. “then we turned it over and gave them some easy baskets.”

The Warriors committed 15 turnovers on the night, compared to Ironton’s 22.

“We didn’t have a lot of turnovers, but the ones we did were critical when they happened,” said Beucler.

Ironton scored 11 unanswered points over the next three minutes, extending the lead to 48-29.

Zach Downing stuck back an offensive rebound with 3:10 left in the third. Little added two scores in the paint as the Warriors surged back to within 13, at 48-35.

In the final 1 1/2 minutes of the period, Ironton scored seven points, taking a 55-35 edge into the final frame.

Knabb scored three times in the first three minutes of the fourth, cutting the Tigers' lead to 59-42 with 5:11 remaining in the game.

Again, the Tigers answered.

This time scoring 14 consecutive points and icing the game.

When the horn sounded, Eastern's season had ended with a 78-48 loss.

Knabb led the Warriors with 17 tallies. Little added 16 and Payne finished with six.

Downing and Blake Doss chipped in four points each and Garrett netted one.

Kochendoerfer paced the Tigers with a game-high 29.

Taylor added 12 and Carter chipped in 11.

“Kochendoerfer played like an all-district player tonight,” said Beucler.

Eastern, who finished 15-7

A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO SUPPORTED THEM AND MADE IT ALL HAPPEN.

River anglers reminded of wading safety tips With the start of the popular “walleye run” along the Maumee and Sandusky rivers and other early spring fishing opportunities soon to begin, the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) advises anglers to observe important safety tips while wading and boating in pursuit of their favorite game fish.

Early fishing activity is expected to begin any day as seasonably mild temperatures remain throughout much of the state. The ODNR Division of Watercraft suggests boaters and anglers keep these basic safety tips in mind while wading and fishing from boats during early spring: •Properly dress for the water temperatures instead of the air temperatures to guard against the effect of hypothermia should you unexpectedly fall into the water. Keep available extra clothing on-hand.

•Wear an approved inflatable life vest, life jacket or flotation coat anytime while wading in a river or stream and anytime while on a boat.

•Be especially cautious in areas with high, fast-moving waters.

•Do not fish alone; fish with a wading or boating partner. Let friends or family members know of your fishing and boating plans.

•Wear a pair of high-quality chest waders and tighten a cinch belt at the waistline outside the waders to help prevent them from filling with water should a water immersion occur. Water weighs about 8 pounds per gallon and can make walking to the shoreline extremely difficult if waders fill with cold water.

•Never wear waders while fishing from a boat.

•Carry a large walking stick or wading staff to help provide balance while wading in a river.

Use a pair of metal crampons or cleats, which fit over the boot portion of waders, to significantly improve traction when wading across slippery rocks and other debris commonly found along river bottoms.

•Be properly licensed and know all Ohio fishing regulations.

•Avoid alcohol consumption and be aware of local ordinances and state laws that prohibit open displays of alcoholic beverages and public consumption of alcohol.

•Be prepared to handle an emergency situation if it arises and stay informed of current and forecast weather and water conditions.

The ODNR ensures a balance between wise use and protection of our natural resources for the benefit of all. Visit the ODNR web site at ohiodnr.com.

PreEaster-Concert at the Sardinia Church of Christ In 2005, a new sound emerged onto the gospel music scene. The musical objective was to form a group by filling each vocal position with the best in their field. The spiritual objective was for each of those individuals to have a sincere passion for people and for their relationship with God. Four individual vocalists formed a partnership known as “The LeFevre Quartet”. Just one year after forming, fans voted them the 2006 Horizon Group of the Year at the Singing News Fan Awards.

The Sardinia Church of Christ is delighted to be hosting this tremendous quartet on March 28 at 6 p.m. and invites the public to attend. The church is located at 7130 Bachman Drive in Sardinia. There is no charge but a free-will love offering will be received. Come and be blessed with us by the music of “The LeFevre Quartet.”

Pictured are individuals who attend the Sheltered Workshop and Habilitation Center in Georgetown.

Knights of Columbus donate to BCDD With several hours of volunteered time and significant effort in this years donation campaign drive, the Ripley Council 2374 of the Knights of Columbus was able to provide a large donation to the Brown County Board of Developmental Disabilities.

Although last year we were faced with a slumped economy, we were able to present a check for $5,600.

The agency plans on purchasing activities items and needed supplies for the workshop and habilitation center. We are very

appreciative of the donation and promise to put it to good use.

With the economy being so bad work contracts are low, so the Individuals who hope to be working in the sheltered workshop are not earning much money. We need to keep them engaged and busy, so the activity items and supplies will help a great deal.

The donation was achieved as part of the 2009 KoC MeasureUp Campaign. Motorist traveling through Ripley may have noticed a major part of the KoC

campaign, which included requesting donations at the intersection of US68 and US52.

Knights cover the intersection each spring and face all kinds of weather. People are very generous – even when times are hard, people still find ways to help those in need.

Through personal sacrifices, the Knights hope to make a genuine impact in the community and the Brown County Board of Developmental Disabilities is certainly appreciative of their efforts and success.

Farm Credit salutes American agriculture March 20 is Nat’l Ag Day More than three million people farm or ranch in the United States. Individuals, family partnerships or family corporations operate almost 99 percent of U.S. farms. Over 22 million people are employed in farm or farm-related jobs, including production agriculture, farm inputs, processing and marketing and wholesale and retail sales.

On March 20, – the first day of spring – agriculture sets aside a day to recognize and celebrate the contributions that agriculture makes to this great nation. Farm Credit Services – one of the country’s largest ag cooperatives serving over 85,000 farmers throughout Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana and Tennessee - is proud to be affiliated with those in farming and agriculture and salutes their efforts!

One of the ways fans of agriculture can support the farming community is to participate in the “I Am Agriculture” video competition sponsored by the “Farm Credit” Facebook Fan Page. Simply upload your video of what agriculture means to you and you could receive a free flip video recorder (search “Farm Credit” on Facebook to locate the competition). The deadline to upload your video is March 20, 2010.

Agriculture provides almost everything we eat, use and wear on a daily basis. By building awareness, the Agriculture

Council of America (the sponsor of Ag Day) is encouraging young people to consider career opportunities in agriculture.

Each American farmer feeds more than 144 people ... a dramatic increase from 25 people in the 1960s. Quite simply, American agriculture is doing more - and doing it better. As the world population soars, there is an even greater demand for the food and fiber produced in the United States.

American farmers and others involved in the agriculture industry have met and will continue to meet this challenge again and again.
