THE BROWN COUNTY

Shafer charged with murder BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press “Harry Shafer shot his stepson! Hurry, we need an ambulance now, he’s dying!” That’s how a frantic call to the Brown County Communications Center began after 56 year old Harry Shafer allegedly shot 33 year old Joshua Ahr in the side with a 16 gauge shotgun just after five p.m. on March 26. Ahr’s mother, Deborah Shafer, can be heard screaming and crying in the background as her sister Virginia Ritchie, continued to talk to the Brown County Communications Center. “They’re coming right now, Debbie, they’re coming!”, Ritchie said to her sister. The dispatcher then asked where Shafer was. “He’s outside, he took off after he shot the boy!”, Ritchie answered. The dispatcher then gath-

ered information about what Shafer was wearing and about Ahr...and then Ritchie told her than Shafer was coming back to the house. “He’s running up to the house!” The dispatcher responded “Don’t let him in the house. Can you lock the door?” After that, Deborah Shafer can be heard screaming at her husband while Ritchie said

“Don’t open that door for him, don’t let him in.” Then Ritchie is heard saying “He’s busted the door in, he’s in there with his son”, meaning Ahr. During the commotion of Shafer getting back inside the house, Deborah Shafer managed to get the shotgun out of the bedroom and take it outside. Ritchie informed the dispatcher “I’ve got the gun. My sister gave it to me.” The dispatcher then asked about Ahr again and Ritchie told her “He’s breathing a little bit, but he needs help bad.” In the background, Deborah Shafer can be heard pleading for the ambulance to hurry. The dispatcher once again asked Ritchie where Harry Shafer was. “He’s in Joshua’s room”, she answered. “He’s holding him after he shot him.”

Harry Shafer is accused of killing his stepson, Joshua Ahr, with a shotgun on the afternoon of March 26 on Greenbush East Road.

Tim Ratliff is Deborah Shafer’s brother and Ahr’s uncle. He said that Harry Shafer

and his nephew Chris Ritchie had been fishing earlier in the day. Ratliff said Ritchie

Driver who hit teen on Uecker leads Hall by bicycle turns himself in 179 votes, recount set BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press A Brown County man has turned himself in following a hit-skip accident that seriously injured Fayetteville teenager Isaac Shelton. The Ohio State Highway Patrol confirmed that Joe Anderson turned himself into law enforcement authorities last week. The OSHP said the investigation is still open and that no determination has been made on any citations or charges that Anderson may face. The crash happened March 20, at approximately 6:15 A.M. on State Route 131 west of US 50.

The OSHP report of the accident said a Schwinn bicycle, operated by Isaac Shelton, age 16, of Fayetteville, was traveling eastbound on State Route 131. While eastbound, Mr. Shelton was struck from the rear by an unknown vehicle which continued eastbound on SR 131. Shelton was transported by Air Care to University of Cincinnati Hospital for treatment. Gloria Shelton, Isaacs mother, said that her son was taken to Children’s Hospital in Cincinnati following the accident and was expected to be released on March 30. “He will be in a back brace for the next three

months, but at least he is alive”, Shelton said. Shelton also expressed gratitude for all the support her family has received following the accident. “Fayetteville is such a great community. We’re so grateful to everyone for everything they’ve done.” Shelton said that Isaac doesn’t remember the accident. “He remembers the getting ready to go, but he doesn’t remember anything after that, and that’s probably a good thing”, Shelton said. Shelton added that she is not bitter toward Anderson. “We have heard that he fell asleep at the wheel right CONTINUED ON PAGE 11

Jobless numbers in county flat for February BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press The unemployment rate in Brown County for February remained essentially unchanged from January. The Ohio Department Job and Family Services reports that the jobless rate in Brown County was 10.9 percent, down .3 percent from January. However, 2400 people

still remain officially unemployed in the county in February, the same number as the previous month. The difference in the numbers comes from the state saying that Civilian Labor Force and the number of Employed both grew by 100 people in February. The number of unemployed persons is compared to the overall labor force number to get the unemploy-

ment rate. Both totals are also rounded to the nearest hundred, which can also affect the numbers. The slight change in the Civilian Labor Force and the number of Employed resulted in the new jobless rate of 10.9 percent for Brown County. The numbers were slightly better in the counties CONTINUED ON PAGE 10

BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press State Rep. Joe Uecker holds a 179 vote lead over follow State Senate 14 candidate Paul Hall after all five counties within the Senate district have certified their vote counts. The counties are Clermont, Adams, Brown, Scioto and Lawrence. The final margin is within the trigger for an automatic recount of one-half of one percent of total votes cast. That recount has been ordered by the Ohio Secretary of State’s Office and must take place before April 9. The Brown County Board of Elections has scheduled their recount for April 5. Clermont County had three hundred additional provisional and absentee ballots to count, and when the final totals were in, Uecker had gained 83 votes...and Hall had lost 16. The disparity was because 135 votes in the Williamsburg “C” precinct were acci-

dently counted twice. In Lawrence County, Hall gained six votes and Uecker eight. A total of 42,272 votes were cast districtwide, meaning that any margin of victory under 211 would trigger an automatic recount. Uecker currently leads by 179 votes. He said that he was confident that his margin of victory would hold up. “With the technology available to boards of elec-

tion today, plus the quality of the poll workers in the district, I don’t anticipate any changes in the recount.” Hall expressed faith in the election system as well. “I am confident that the computer results are accurate, but I do think the hand count needs to be done to verify the credibility of the election process. I am comfortable that Joe will be our next state senator, but I want to wait until the process plays out.”

Aberdeen Village Solicitor considers offering resignation The Village of Aberdeen may soon be looking for a new solicitor, even though council renewed a two year contract with Solicitor Tresa Gossett in mid-2011. According to Gossett, she has been asked by Councilman Joe Sprague to submit

her resignation. “I have heard that Joe Sprague is going to ask for my resignation,” Gossett said in a phone interview. “I’m not sure why he’s doing this, but I do have a two year contract with the Village of Aberdeen and if I do leave I will expect them to honor my contract and buy it out and give me severance pay.” However, according to

219 South High St. Mt. Orab, OH 45154

Councilman Sprague, he said he understands that Ms. Gossett was told that he personally wanted her to resign, but that was not exactly true. “During a recent executive session I expressed some of my concerns about Ms. Gossett’s contract,” Sprague explained. “I don’t personally know Tresa Gossett, and this isn’t at all personal. “I asked the rest of council if they were happy with our solicitor’s performance for the village, and several members had the same concerns as I did, so we discussed some of the issues we have with the job she is doing.” Sprague said that one issue specifically is the wording on her contract. Originally, her contract had a clause included in it that the contract could be terminated at the end of each quarter of her CONTINUED ON PAGE 11

Disaster donation center opens at Red Barn in Batavia BY Kristin Bednarski The Brown County Press A tornado relief donation center opened in Batavia March 14 to collect a variety of donations for tornado and storm victims across southern Ohio. “We are known for donation management,” Roy Nelson, disaster response coordinator for Adventist Community Services Disaster Response, said. The organization is recog-

nized by the Federal Emergency Management Agency for donation management after a natural disaster and works in cooperation with local volunteers and volunteer organizations. Nelson said they worked with Clermont County Emergency Management Agency to find a location for the donation center at Red Barn Market in Batavia. He said the center will serve as a multi-county donation dropoff location.

“Imagine you were one of the people who lost everything,” Nelson said. “What is it that you need?” Nelson said this is what he encourages individuals and organizations to think about before donating items to the center. The center was designed to collect items that storm victims request. Nelson said they are looking to not only centralize, but also organize donations before they are CONTINUED ON PAGE 10

FP board sends letter to House against HB191 school report cards are displayed. “Instead of being ranked “Excellent,” “Effective,” “Continuous Improvement,” “Academic Watch” and “Academic Emergency,” White told the board, “These rankings will be in grades, from A to F.” In other news, Superintendent White explained a current proposal in the State Employees Retirement System which would effect the 36 classified employees in the district. The proposal is to change the years of service before an employee can retire, from 30 years to 35 years of service beginning in 2017. “Originally the proposal was for 2015 but because they felt that wasn’t fair, they moved the date to begin to 2017,” White added. “I told the board that if this proposal was approved, the State Teachers Retirement System may follow suit.” Board member Betty Rolands was recognized by board president Angela Murphy with a certificate of

appreciation from the Ohio School Board Association for her 15 years of service as a board member to the district. Actions taken by the board included: • approved use of the high school baseball field by Knothole Baseball; • approved use of the elementary gymnasium by the Youth Basketball Association; • approved Riley Bell to volunteer for high school baseball (pending certification); • approved home instruction contract for Lucia Tomko; • approve supplemental for FCCLA for 2011-2012 school year; • accept a donation of $539 from Bob Rogers Travel; • approve purchase of copier and maintenance contract with Xerox; • approved purchase of materials from Ultra Durable Floors to coat the floors; • approve purchase of bus repairs.

Also discussed was the possibility of looking into adding a track team during the 2012-2013 school years and considering a School Based Health Program. “Western Brown has a

Georgetown Village Administrator Kelly Jones said the village budget, which was approved by council March 22, looks pretty good. Jones said the budget last year was around $8.3 million and this year the number is $10.4 million. Jones said the additional money is because of ongoing sewer projects. He added that bids on the village’s banking services were opened last week and council voted to stay another five years with National Bank and Trust, marking the third term. Work has also begun at the village compost facility to post signs sending residents to the new yard waste facility at Adams/Brown Recycling located on Mt. Orab Pike. “Residents have been doing real well with the change of where they take their yard wastes, Jones said. “This will work out well for the village.”

He said he is continuing negotiations with the new waste disposal contract with Rumpke for the village. “They’ve agreed to a three year extension to our existing contract,” Jones said. “With the economy being the way it is, Rumpke offered the first year with no increase to us. Our cost for the next two years will increase by 66 cents per unit.” Jones recommended to council that no increase be passed on to customers the first year which is April 1, 2012 through March 31, 2013. “After that I would also recommend that we only pass on 33 cents of our increase cost for the next two years,” he added. “We have a reserve fund balance that we can pay the difference out of. The commercial rates will stay the same.” Jones said he would work with village solicitor, Jay Cutrell on a new ordinance for council to approve. Friday, March 24, was the last day for Georgetown

Council heard a report from Police Chief Buddy Coburn during the meeting. Coburn advised council that his department was in the process of scheduling the installation of a new “License Reader” to be purchased from the Cincinnati Police Department. The reader will alert police to any outstanding warrants or other issues with drivers in the village. Coburn also reported that gas consumption for February was down by 107 gallons. He added that he would continue to attempt to cut back on gas consumption and cut his costs as much as possible. “The Dodge Cruisers are getting the best mileage by nearly two miles per gallon,” Coburn said. “This doesn’t seem like much but

when you consider the amount of miles we drive yearly, it all adds up.” Coburn talked briefly about the recent Brown County Board of Developmental Disabilities parade held in Georgetown. He said the parade started at the Old Georgetown Church of Christ parking lot and ended at the village parking lot on North Main Street. “The DODD-Board’s theme this year is ‘Our Community is Better Together,’” Coburn told council. “We received a very nice thank you card from the board thanking us for supplying an escort and security for the parade.

WEEKEND ASSEMBLY

The preacher announced with gladness his church’s new Weekend Services. There was the Sunday Morning Service(s) available. Now, there is a Saturday night Worship service available. He was so excited! Where does such thinking come from? Where is this teaching found in the Bible? The church’s History is found in the Book called ACTS. It comes right after the Four Gospels. The New Testament church Minister mentioned above would agree that this is where we find the church’s history. Where does any New Testament church today find Worship on Saturday night? Let us refer to the Book of Acts. In Acts 2:42 we find, “they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.” The primitive, divinely given church met with devotion to these four areas: apostles’ doctrine, fellowship around the words of God, the Lord’s Supper (the breaking of bread) and to Biblical prayer. These were done on the first day of the week. The early church did not meet on the Sabbath (Saturday) for worship. The Christians met on the First day of the week! Ask any child what day is the first day of the week and they will tell you Sunday. Sunday was a day we once called the ‘Lord’s Day’. I miss that nomenclature. It is to be HIS day! Yet, we now have the Weekend Assembly. Just in common sense word-

ing, the weekend is Saturday only. Sunday begins a new week and a new beginning. God wanted in his church this idea of new and unique and separate! Is this why the Lord selected a new week to start his church? It was upon Sunday that the Lord was raised! We will celebrate his rising soon on Resurrection Sunday! It was on the first day of the week that he showed himself to the people after his rising! He erected the first church of Christ on this day. (As noted in Acts 2:42 above.) We find John being given the last Revelation on the first day of the week (Revelation 1:10)! These are not by coincidence we believe. God has a plan. “So what”, you might say. Disobedience comes covered at times by innocent terms and sincere decisions. Acts 20:7 reads: “On the first day of the week we came together to break bread.” They met to observe the Lord’s Supper on the first day of the week! Never is Sabbath day worship mentioned for the Christian. Christians meet for worship on the Lord’s Day. Yes, they get together at other times for fellowship and Bible study. But these times are not a replacement for the God ordained Lord’s Day gathering. Please be found faithful on the Lord’s Day. Remember, the early church ‘’devoted’’ themselves to these four acts of worship of God! “All the churches of Christ send greetings.” (Romans 16:16).

Ohio House Bill 191 was the main topic of conversation for the FayettevillePerry Local School District Board of Education during its March 15 meeting. HB 191 would limit the school year to Labor Day through Memorial Day and also change state laws about the minimum time students actually have to spend in school, from 182 days to 480 hours (for half-day kindergarten) 960 hours (for kindergarten and grades one through six) and to 1,050 hours (for grades seven through twelve). The changes would take effect starting with the 2012-2013 school year. “What this would mean to us,” began FayettevillePerry Superintendent Raegan White, “school days would be measured in hours instead of days. We are in favor of that part of HB 191, it would allow greater flexibility in planning for student success. Our issue is with the second provision

which would prohibit school districts from beginning the school year prior to Labor Day, unless the board holds a public hearing, passes a resolution, files the resolution and receives a waiver.” White said the board has already adopted a school calendar in a public meeting and takes into consideration local tourist events including the annual Brown County Fair. In a letter signed by all the board members and sent to Gerald Stebelton at the Ohio House of Representatives, the board expressed that such a provision would create scheduling issues and add an unnecessary bureaucratic burden on districts. The board discouraged Stebelton in his support of the bill. In other legislative business, White reported that it was his understanding that now that Ohio has been granted a waiver for ‘No Child Left Behind’. He said that would mean a change in each districts accountability and how

How about a second opinion on health-care ‘reform’ It has been two years since President Barack Obama, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi passed their health-care “reform” bill. At the time, the American people were told that the new law would create jobs and lower insurance premiums while allowing anyone who liked their current health plan to keep it. None of these promises has turned out to be true. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office believes that the health care law will actually reduce job opportunities by some 800,000. The average family’s premium for its employer provided coverage has continued to rise, and

JEAN SCHMIDT the Congressional Budget Office estimates that the new law will cause premiums on the individual market to rise by 13 percent. In addition, studies indicate that many Americans will lose their current employer provided coverage and be forced to purchase health insurance through government-run exchanges. Oh, there’s also this: the Congressional Budget Office recently estimated that the 10-year cost of the law (which was

originally manipulated by budget gimmickry) has almost doubled, to $1.76 trillion. And, finally, there is a shadowy presence in the room that gives people a chill on the back of the neck. The new law established the Independent Payment Advisory Board, or IPAB. Simply put, its purpose is to cut Medicare spending. This 15-member committee of unelected and unaccountable bureaucrats essentially has one purpose – to get doctors, pharmaceutical companies, and hospitals to cut their prices if somebody in authority decides too much money is being spent on health care. The members would be ap-

pointed by the president, subject to confirmation by the Senate. Some worry that the remedy to control these health-care costs might be worse than the disease. Many people fear that sick people will be confronted by a bunch of cold-blooded bureaucrats who are deputized to tell them they’re not entitled to the care they might need. Thankfully, my colleagues and I in the House voted last week to repeal this piece of the health care law before it goes into effect. It is time to dismantle this law – while it’s still just a terrible idea that hasn’t hurt anybody. At least not yet.

State Representatives Danny Bubp (R-Lake Waynoka) and Mike Dovilla (R-Berea) have announced that the Ohio House of Representatives today passed House Bill 331, which creates the Cybersecurity, Education and Economic Development Council. The Council’s duty is to study how the state’s Cybersecurity operations could be improved and how growth in the state’s cybersecurity industry could be accelerated. The establishment of the council will ensure greater safekeeping of personal identifiable information (PII), while simultaneously helping to develop one of the fastest growing employment fields in the state. This safeguard is necessary due to state governments becoming more and more vulnerable to cybersecurity attacks because they maintain the largest collection of PII. “The Cybersecurity, Education, and Economic Development Council will have the ability to study how the state’s cybersecurity infrastructure can be improved and how to improve the cybersecurity industry in Ohio,” said Bubp, a retired colonel in the U.S. Marines who taught national security at the National Defense University in Washington D.C. “It is

OPINION

DANNY BUBP my desire to see Ohio benefit from the Council with a stronger cybersecurity presence that protects our resources and personal information, but will also allow for efficiency of services in both the public and private fields.” Legislation that creates a council of this sort is unique to Ohio, and bodes great potential for growing and maintaining a relevant workforce in the 21st Century. “As one witness testified in committee, ‘This legislation is unique and bold,’” said Dovilla. “We have an unprecedented opportunity to attract not only more jobs, but more high paying jobs, of critical importance to our national security.” The Council consists of 12 members who are appointed and serve two-year terms. The bill authorizes the Council to request the assistance of other state offices and requires offices to provide requested assistance. H.B. 331 passed by a vote of 96-0 and will now be sent to the Senate for further consideration.

Letters to the Editor

Ripley grandparent says thank you Dear Editor, Total frustration! What is wrong with the system? I am referring to the RULH school system. My reference is to the high school basketball program. I just attended the athletic banquet for high school basketball. I was so sad and frustrated with the whole thing. Let’s give credit where credit is due! The players deserve the recognition that was given, some deserved more than they re-

ceived. Totally omitted from recognition were two people that worked tirelessly and gave so much of their time to make the basketball program the success that it was for the year. I am speaking of Ben and Missy Davis, and I want to say thank you on my part! Ben announcing at every home game and taking pictures for the players and the school, at his own expense. Ben Davis you deserve the

coveted ‘Blue Jay’ award, at least I enjoyed every minute of your effort. Missy Davis, thank you for all the special music and especially for the great video played before the games. I know how hard it was for you to even get a projector to play it. Thank you to Col. Major of the RULH JROTC program for supplying the projector, as the tech man from the school said he couldn’t take the chance. What is wrong with this school system? Do

you really support your sports program or even your students? I am just a grandmother of students that attend Ripley Schools, but I have attended every basketball game for four years. I have seen first hand how this school operates. My grateful thanks goes to you Mr. Ben Davis and Missy for making it a great basketball year for the Blue Jays! Diane Hiles Aberdeen

In the name of remaining free we have bought into the idea that its the job of the government to secure that which is the responsibility of the individual citizen to provide for himself/herself. The sustenance of the individual should not be the job of the government ... its the job of the government to ensure the right of the individual to have the freedom to provide for himself/herself. Nothing more. Putting it another way, which do you think would be the better approach: For an individual to make a living ... say $50,000.00 ... and take care of himself and his family ... with the possibility of failing and blowing it in the process ... or having the government step in,

take his money in taxes with the promise of him getting social security and medicare, and mismanaging it for him? Speaking for myself, I’d rather take a risk on myself as opposed to ‘Big Brother’ helping me out. Safety nets are provided for the individual by the individual ... if the individual believes he/she needs one and not because somebody else says so. Government can only go so far in accomplishing this ... the rest is a matter of individual initiative. An individual saves and invests his own money ... he sometimes takes a gamble on something bigger and better ... he may win or he may lose ... but, either way, it was his to do with as he pleases. This is what freedom is all about. Such freedom could never be enhanced by any type of government, no matter how benevolent it pretended to be. Rev. Sam Talley

The streets of the Village of Georgetown are a little safer today than they have ever been, thanks to the efforts by Georgetown Chief of Police, Forrest (Buddy) Coburn and his officers. “Our department has been a part of the OHLEG (Ohio Law Enforcement Gateway), through the Ohio Attorney General’s office, for several years now,” Chief Coburn began, “It’s basically a tool kit for our officers and it’s what we do all our reports in which distributes the information throughout the state. “But now all of our officers have received their certification to operate and run LEADS (Law Enforcement Automated Data System) from their vehicles. They all qualified last year so this is actually our second year using the program.” According to Coburn all his officers passed the state LEADS test at the Brown County Communications Center, with the help and assistance of Communications Director Rob Wilson who allowed the officers to use the Communications Center and its equipment. He said that this will relieve some of the burden off the Comm Center because they will no longer have to run every person his officers come in contact with. “LEADS allows us to have access to and receive the complete criminal history of a suspect, within seconds,” Coburn said. “For example if we see a vehicle that’s been parked in front of a business for a long time, we are trained to be proactive at all times.” Coburn continued, “OHLEG stores all information on all of us, our driving record, driver’s license, our records, our criminal history, vehicle registration. Each officer has a login process in their vehicles. The officer can put anything about this

added, however, that a person can give their permission to have a background check run on themselves. He said that the system also has the capability to bring up an actual line-up of suspects that fit the description submitted by the officer, which can then be printed out. “LEADS also has access to pawn shops,” Coburn said. “Let’s say someone tries to sell something to the local Cashland that has been stolen. Cashland gives us a print-out every couple of weeks on merchandise they have received. We can match that with our reports of stolen items. And we are really lucky here in town, the Cashland here is super cooperative with our department.” The Georgetown Police Department employees eight full time officers and six part-time officers. Coburn added that his department is a close knit group that includes some of the best officers in the state.

Two members of the Ripley Merchants Association, Jo Ann Otto (Ripley Builders Supply) and Martha Polley (River Breeze Cafe) approached the Ripley Village Council on March 27 with concerns over whether or not the summer farmers market would be returning this year. “Of course the goal and mission of the merchants association is to promote business, bring people to town and encourage people to come to Ripley,” Otto began. “The question arose a couple weeks ago whether we were going to have a farmer’s market this year. It had always been down on Main Street and it brings a lot of people to town and is a benefit to our farmers.” Otto asked council what the merchants association could do to assist in seeing that it does take place this year. She said she has seen very successful farmer’s markets take place throughout Ohio and wanted to know how to make the process as easy as possible on participants. “I know that in the past there has been some conflict,” Otto said. “I’d like to make the process as short, sweet and simple as we can, for these farmers to come in and sell their fruits and vegetables.” Otto added that the Village of Georgetown has it’s farmer’s market twice a week. She said she would like

to see a designated day of the week and times set for the benefit of participants in the market. Mayor Tom Leonard said that he was not aware of any conflict but agreed the farmer’s market was a good thing for the village. Leonard then asked who was in charge of the farmer’s market and was informed that no one has actually been in charge of the event for a couple of years and that there was only one day for the farmers last year. Councilwoman Linda South, also a downtown business owner, said she thought it would be great to have the farmer’s market back because it got people back into downtown Ripley. After discussing the specifics of starting up the farmer’s market again, Solicitor Jay Cutrell, asked Otto if the Ripley Merchants Association would be willing to take over organizing the event and getting the word out. Otto said she has had a lot

of inquiries about the matter and would like to find a designated place to hold the farmer’s market. She suggested the park, but the park is often in use during the summer. She did, however, agree that the merchants association would take over the event and get it organized. Otto also said the Merchants association continues to look for ways to promote the village and one idea that had come out of the meetings was the possibility of having a ‘Court Day’ in the village. “We haven’t worked out any details yet,” Otto said, “It’s just a thought, but a court day would be a great time for people to bring things like goats, calves, hay, rabbits, you name it. It could be a lot of fun. But no details have been finalized, it’s just a possibility.” In other business, Village Administrator Charles Ashmore told council that he had received four prices for the Greensand replacement filter systems needed for the water plant. “Our lowest bid is for $63,470 from Distel Construction,” Ashmore began, “Then we had a bid of $73,500 from Doll-Layman, $80,964 from A & N Company and a bid of $184,818 from Artesian of Pioneer. The low bid exceeds the $50,000 estimate, but we are permitted to accept this bid because we are in an emergency situation.”

Ashmore recommended getting the contract signed and the greensand ordered because they were looking at an eight week project. He added that Distel Construction has worked for the village before and does good work. After suspending the threereading rule, council approved the contract with Distel. Council also approved the 2012 budget for the village after Ashmore pointed out a change in the water depart-

ment line. “Where we did have a balance of $2,000 we now have $65,470,” Ashmore explained. “We received PERS Restitution from (former Ripley Utilities Clerk) Kathy Lang and the bond from Lang and we took another $19,000 out of capital outlay water and moved it to that line item.” Ashmore told council that he felt the budget was in good shape. The budget was approved by all council members present at the meeting.

Councilman Charles Poole was unable to attend the meeting. Ashmore informed council that a test drill had been completed at the sight of the new wells and he was awaiting a report from the EPA. Councilwoman Roberta Sidwell, a member of the street committee, told council that the streets in the village in most need of repairs had been prioritized. Ashmore said he would get some prices prepared for the next meeting.

BODILY RESURRECTION In I Corinthians 15:12 Paul, being moved by the Holy Ghost, said: “Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?” Even in those days there were people saying that there was no bodily resurrection. It was only His spirit which rose from the grave! Listen Christians, when the body dies the soul and spirit leave. The only part which is buried is the body. The Bible tells us in II Corinthians 5:8 to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. Therefore, the word resurrection only applies to the body. It was the body of Christ which was nailed to the cross; His body was laid in the tomb. It was His body which arose. He told Thomas in John 20:27: “Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.” Christianity is the only religion in the world which has a resurrected Saviour. It is He who is our leader and guide. He lived; died, was buried, resurrected, and He is now alive forevermore! And furthermore, because He lives we shall live also. Paul told the Corinthians: “But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen: And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain. Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not. For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised: And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins. Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished. If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.” Now ladies and gentlemen, any gospel that has Jesus left on the cross, or left in the tomb, is incomplete. In order to fulfill the gospel, there must of necessity be three points. The first being, Christ died. The second being, He was buried. And the third being, He physically, bodily resurrected. Without all

DR. CHARLES SMITH MT. ORAB BIBLE BAPTIST CHURCH three points, you have nothing. Those three points are pictured again during baptism. It pictures the death, burial, and resurrection. Without the bodily resurrection of Christ you have no gospel because verse 17 states: “And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.” You might argue that it was His blood which cleansed you of your sins. Yes, but Paul said without the resurrection you are still in your sins. The reason is simple. The blood which Jesus shed on the cross must of necessity be carried by a high priest into the holy of holies, in the presence of God and there be offered on God’s altar in heaven (Revelation 11:19). The only way to get to heaven to do that was for Christ to bodily resurrect and offer His own blood. He told Mary Magdalene: “Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father...” He had a job to do. If His perfect blood was shed on the cross and never offered as a sacrifice there would be no forgiveness of sins. However, it was offered and once offered it was offered for all forever! The Old Testament tells us what had to be done. Aaron, a high priest, would take the blood of a sacrificial lamb and once a year enter in behind the veil. There on the Mercy Seat he would apply the blood for an atonement of sins of the people. Without that offering the sacrifice was not complete and there was no forgiveness. Likewise, if there were only two parts to the gospel of Christ, the death and burial, and there was no offering of His blood, there could be no forgiveness of sins. If Christ be not risen who do you think would be worthy to offer His blood? Thank you Lord for the resurrection.

Hamersville students jump rope for hearts The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grade students at Hamersville Elementary jumped all over heart disease and stroke by participating in Jump Rope for Hearts. The students raised more that $1,600.00 for the American Heart Association, which funds research, programs and education to fight heart disease and stroke, our nation's #1 and #3 killers. Jump Rope for Hearts is a program that promotes

physical activity and heart health through jumping rope. It is co-sponsored by the American Heart Association and the American Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance. The need to educate children about the importance of physical activity couldn't be timelier. According to recent studies, about one-third of children ages 2-19 are overweight or obese. Extra recognition goes

out to Evan Grimes and Pierce Schadle. Evan raised a whopping $380.00, not to mention telling people they could donate for Jump Rope for Hearts instead of giving him a birthday present this year! Pierce was the top fundraiser this year collecting a massive $760.00! Thanks to all who participated this year and those that helped by making a donation.

Nestled at the very edge of Mt. Orab is the Bardwell Winery, owned and operated by local couple Randy and Gayle Weddle. The quaint little winery opened its doors to the public in the fall of last year and continues to grow in popularity, fast becoming the place to be on any given weekend. The Weddle’s have owned Bardwell Realty, which is located at the front of the winery, since about 2000. They purchased the old building in 1997 which has been completely renovated by the couple. “Since we first opened the winery last August,” began Gayle Weddle, “We hear so many regulars say this is the kind of place where...’everybody knows your name’, and we like hearing that. Randy was born and raised right here

in Mt. Orab. This is our home and we are excited to be able to make our own wine and sell it right here in our restaurant.” Gayle explained that several years ago the couple decided to make some wine. for themselves. They turned the upstairs of the old building into a small factory where they could make and bottle their own wine which they hoped to sell eventually. “We don’t grow our own grapes,” Gayle explained, “Instead, we purchase grape juice and juice concentrate from all over the country and with those ingredients, Randy has perfected the wines we sell today.” Bardwell Winery offers: • Soft red in both semi-dry and semi-sweet; • Soft white, semi-dry and semi-sweet; • Moscato, semi-dry and semi-sweet; • Niagara, semi-dry and semi-sweet;

• Pinot Noir. “Our prices range from $10.99 to $14.99 per bottle,” Gayle said. “The Niagara is our most popular wine we sell, it is a classic American variety.” Bardwell Winery is currently open on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 4 to 10 p.m. and what started out as a short menu of mostly appetizers and finger foods has turned into a full menu of great foods. “We make our own pizza right here with nearly any topping available, at a great price,” Gayle said with a smile, “We just keep adding things on a regular basis. We offer a great spinach dip served with provolone and pita wedges and the best fried green beans anyone has ever tasted.” Also on the menu is Br-

game machines with each machine equipped with 3 or 4 different games. The machines are operated by touch buttons on the console while others are touch screen games. “These are not slot machines,” explained Shaffer, “We don’t want people to think that. These are simply games that people can play and if they are skilled enough to win credits, can receive refunds on their money. “We take great pride in making Treasure Island and fun place to be. A quiet, relaxing place to come and sit down and enjoy playing a fun challenging game.” Nancy explained that her son Mike had worked at a similar business at one time and saw how enjoyable the business was and wanted to start his own business. “I retired from Community Hospital in Springfield,” Nancy said. “I moved down here near Sardinia, since my son lives in Hillsboro. So we decided to give it a try. We opened our Hillsboro business together and it is doing very well. “This is a family operated business which also includes my daughter Lorrie Reeder who is a co-owner and works here in our Fayetteville facility.” The cost of the games range from $1 dollar to as much as someone wants to play. The atmosphere inside Treasure Island is quiet and according to many of its customers a fun place to be. Treasure Island does however abide by very strict rules and regulations including: • Must be 21 to enter; • No alcohol or drugs of any kind; • No smoking, no weapons; • No shirt, no shoes, no service. “Treasure Island is a safe place where adults can gather and just have fun,” Shaffer said. “We’d like to invite everyone from the community to drop by and have a cup of coffee and say hello.” Treasure Island is open Monday through Saturday 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. and on Sundays from 1 to 10 p.m.

cussed in council nor was it approved. It was, however, signed off on by former mayor, Garland Renchen, who, according to Sprague, did not have the authority to do so without council’s approval. “Another issue I have with the solicitor is the fact that her signature, along with four others, appears on the contract for the new waste water treatment plant in the village,” Sprague continued, “and yet she, who is supposed to be our legal council never let us know at any time that our option to purchase the property where the plant is being build was about to expire.” He continued, “Council should have been reminded at 90 days, at 60 days and at 30 days that actions had to be taken to secure the property. “Now here we are, we’re on the hook for thousands of dollars of our tax payers money, and we haven’t even secured the property. To me that shows that someone dropped the ball.” Sprague added that he feels the village deserved a solicitor who will watch out for the village with good solid legal advice. On Monday, March 19 Gossett replied by email to a request from fiscal officer Nathan Pfeffer for certain documents that he had requested. In her email she told Pfeffer that she had been advised that Councilman Sprague would like for her to resign.

the email said: “.....as all know, PERS was an important factor for me taking the position. If you and Rhonda have done my PERS correctly, I should have the time that I needed in order to have my ten year’s service. I have not confirmed this with PERS at this time but I will look into it. ....when I was hired, my PERS was to be calculated as a full-time employee of the village to give me the time that I needed. Further, the contract the village authorized extends to August 1, 2013, which would give me either additional time or the time needed to reach my goal. If council requests that I resign, I will need a severance package. This shall include payment to me per the contract and payment into my PERS account to keep the time per the contract. I would require a waiver to be signed which would eliminate any conflicts in representation to permit me to represent potential clients from Aberdeen. If the council agrees to the above in writing, I will resign immediately upon the signed authorized agreement including resolution or ordinance.” PERS is the Ohio Public Employees Retirement System. Aberdeen Village Council will convene on Monday, April 2 at 7:30 p.m. It is unknown at this time if council will take further action.

Dad just shot Josh and he’s trying to kill us all.” Ratliff said Chris Ritchie rushed back home, picking him up along the way. He said when they arrived, the Brown County Sheriff’s Office and the Mt. Orab Police Department were already on the scene. “I jumped out of the truck and ran to Josh’s window. I looked in and saw Harry holding him.” Ratliff then said that he heard Ahr speak his last words. “He said ‘It hurts, help me.’ and then the last thing he said to Harry was “I love you dad, it’ll be alright’.” Ratliff said that it looked like Ahr stopped breathing at that point. He said that when his sister realized her son had died she was overcome.

“She was saying over and over ‘He can’t be dead, my son can’t be dead”, he said. Ahr was pronounced dead at the scene by Brown County Coroner Dr. Tim McKinley. His body will be taken to the Montgomery County Coroner’s Office for an autopsy. Shafer was arrested on First Degree Murder charges and is currently in the Brown County Jail on one million dollars bond. Jail Supervisor Lieutenant Donnie Wagoner said that Shafer was placed under observation and is currently being evaluated. Brown County Sheriff’s Office Chief Detective Carl Smith said that Shafer has already confessed to the murder of Ahr to multiple law enforcement officers. Ratliff said he and others are already thinking about the punishment that Shafer should face. “Some think he should get the death penalty, but I think

CRP general signup to end on April 6 The Farm Service Agency recently announced that general signup for the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) will end on April 6, 2012. During the signup period, farmers and landowners may offer eligible land for CRP's competitive general signup at their Farm Service Agency (FSA) office. Land currently not enrolled in CRP may be offered in this signup provided all eligibility requirements are met. Additionally, current CRP participants with contracts expiring on September 30, 2012, may make new contract offers. Contracts awarded under this signup are scheduled to become effective October 1, 2012. Currently, about 30 million acres are enrolled in CRP; and contracts on an estimated 6.5 million acres

will expire on Sept. 30, 2012. The Farm Service Agency expects strong competition to enroll acres into CRP, and our office urges interested producers to maximize their environmental benefits and to make cost-effective offers. FSA, which administers the program, will evaluate and rank eligible CRP offers using an Environmental Benefits Index (EBI) that shows the environmental benefits of enrolling land in CRP. There are six factors that make up the EBI: wildlife, water, soil, air, enduring benefits and cost. Decisions will be made following the end of the sign-up period and after analyzing EBI data on all of the offers. For more information about general CRP signup, please contact the Brown County office.

he needs life in prison so he can think every day about how he destroyed two families.” Shafer has a history of violence and arrests with the Brown County Sheriff’s Office. He was arrested for Aggravated Menacing in July of 2004 and again in November of 2006. In January of 2008, he was arrested for Domestic Violence and Inducing Panic. Brown County Sheriff Dwayne Wenninger praised the Mt. Orab Fire and Police Departments and the Mt. Orab Life Squad for their

help and quick response to the scene. He added that his department was standing by to assist the family. “Our thoughts and prayers are with them, and they are welcome to call us and we’ll do whatever we can to help them”, Wenninger said. Chris Ritchie said that the family is trying to raise funds to take care of Ahr’s funeral expenses.

Crop insurance impact of planting crops early Unseasonably warm, dry weather will have many producers thinking about planting their crops earlier than usual. Brian Frieden, USDA’s Risk Management Agency Director for the Springfield Region, reminds producers that crops planted before the earliest planting date are not eligible for replant payments, but the insurance guarantee is not impacted as long as producers follow good farming practices. In Ohio, the earliest planting date for corn is April 6. For soybeans, the earliest planting date is April 21. For more details on planting dates, or the impact early planting may have on your crop insurance policy, contact your crop insurance agent.

Peters, Shaw lead Rockets to Lady G-Men dominant season opening win split pair with West Union to open season

BY Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press There couldn’t have been a much better way for the Fayetteville baseball team to open their season than they way they did on Tuesday night. The Rockets were dominant on the mound as senior hurler Derek Peters pitched his first career nohitter...and at the plate as they pounded out 13 hits in just four turns at bat en route to a 13-0 win in five innings over solid Southern Hills League foe, and last year’s big school champion, Lynchburg-Clay. “Everything was really clicking for the most part,” Rockets coach Tim Carlier said after the win. “Our sticks came alive. We had some younger guys, and our senior class, (that) really clutched up at the plate. It’s exactly what we needed them to do. “Plus we got everybody in to play today, all 16 players. They all did something.” Peters wasted no time setting the table for the Rockets as he quickly set the Mustangs down in order in the top of the first inning, including striking out two, before the Rockets bats started to make some noise in the bottom half of the inning. Senior Luke Allen led off with a walk and eventually came around to score when Cody Shaw kicked off what would be a whale of a day with a RBI single to give the Rockets a 1-0

BY Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press If the Georgetown softball teams opening day could have consisted of only one game last Saturday if would have been a very good day. The Lady G-Men came out ready to play in the opening game of their doubleheader with visiting West Union and rolled past the Lady Dragons 7-2. Unfortunately for the Lady G-Men, there were two games scheduled on Saturday. And the second seemed to be the mirrored opposite of its predecessor as the

Lady G-Men could never get anything going as they split the pair of games with a 7-1 loss. “It’s just the concentration level. I don’t know if 14 innings is just too much for the first day or what,” Georgetown coach Kathy Chadwell said after the final game. “We didn’t catch and throw -- not our pitching -- just routine fielding the ball and throwing someone out.” Even though the start times were pushed back to noon to accommodate for all the rain from the previous day, the Lady G-Men didn’t seemed fazed in the CONTINUED ON PAGE 17

Derek Peters had a big night on the mound for the Rockets on Tuesday night against Lynchburg. He threw his first career no-hitter in the win.

lead early on. With the lead up to 2-0 in the top of the third, Peters ran into the only trouble he would face all evening when he walked and a hit a batter back-toback with two outs. He quickly battled back, however, as he got the next hitter to ground out to first base to end the threat. It was then that Rockets bats really came alive. Taylor Smucker and Tanner Williams each sin-

gled to lead off the bottom of the third. After they each stole a base and were on second and third with one out, Shaw came up big again. The sophomore third baseman lined a single into left field that scored both Smucker and Williams to increase the Rockets lead to 4-0. It was part of his 3-for3, 4 RBI day at the plate. “Cody Shaw clutched up,” Carlier said. “He did a superb job at the plate.”

With Peters, who singled down the left field line, on first and Shaw on second, freshman Stephen Burroughs hit a chopper up the middle that the Mustangs shortstop got a glove on but couldn’t bring in, allowing Shaw to score to make it 50. A well placed pop fly single to shallow center from E.J. Aubry got another run in before Allen CONTINUED ON PAGE 16

Despite the 8-3 loss his Eastern softball team suffered on Monday night, Lady Warriors coach Dennis Forsythe got everything he could have wanted -and probably a little more -- from his players. Hosting a very talented Lucasville Valley squad that boasts starting pitcher, and a back-to-back AllState performer, Braiden Dillow, the youthful Lady Warriors held their own. But more than just competing with a good team, they saw what they’ll have to do to beat a team of that caliber. And Forsythe believes his team will be able to do so eventually. “It’s like I told you the other night, if we make the plays we’ll be good against the good teams,” he said afterward. “We’re still young. It’s still early in the season. It’ll come around. It’s like I told the girls (after the game), we have to keep working hard. Everybody knows what they did wrong. They’ll improve upon those mistakes just like we did last year. We’ll just get better as the year goes on and I’ll know that’s how it’ll be this year.” For whatever reason -- it may have had something to do with having to sit around an extra hour in an unseasonably cold, windy weather as Valley arrived half an hour late and the game started an h our late - the Lady Warriors struggled to start. The visiting Lady Indians wasted no time taking advantage of an Eastern mistake. After getting their leadoff hitter aboard to start the game when her fly ball grazed off right fielder Hannah Dotson’s glove, Lady Indian Kayla Koch got her home with a single to left field to make it 1-0.

They added on to the lead when Dillow’s infield single got another run home to make it 2-0 before the Lady Warriors even came to the plate. Two innings later, as Dillow got off to a hot start in the circle, the Lady Indians added on. Brooke Carter beat out a grounder to shortstop to start the inning and scored when the next batter, Koch, laced a double to left center. It looked as though Eastern starting pitcher Maria Johnson would limit the damage to one run when she recorded two quick outs and got the next batter to lift a fly ball to left field. Eastern left fielder Andrea Tracy appeared to have the ball in her sights but, thanks in large part to the wind, the ball kept floating. Though she got her glove on it, she couldn’t hold on as she was twisted around. Two more runs would go on to score in the inning to give Valley a 5-0 lead. “That was the hard thing to swallow,” Forsythe said of the five run deficit. “But we didn’t give up. We came right back and hung in there and scored three later.” Eastern began its comeback in the bottom of the fourth inning when Johnson led off the inning with a single to center. Teammate Shelby Mullins followed with a ball that went through the Valley second baseman’s legs. As Johnson hustled to third base, the throw got by the third baseman and a llowed Johnson to trot home and get the Lady Warriors on the board. After freshman Kayla Seigla layed down a sac bunt to get pinch runner Alexa Forsythe to third, Megan Staggs got her home with a groundout to second base after a battle with Dillow that saw her foul off four pitches.

Joe Hensley, a eighth grader at Mt. Orab Middle School, recently brought home a state title in the heavyweight (249 lb.) division of the Ohio Athletic Commission (OAC) State Middle School tournament on March 10-11 in Youngstown. Competing in a 48 man bracket, Hensley was the smallest competitor at 5-foot-11 and 216 lbs. On his way to the finals, Hensley faced several top ranked wrestlers from the Wadsworth, Burnett Trained and Toledo areas. In the end, however, Hensley faced another local wrestler in the finals, Seth Chrissman from Glen Este. Hensley used speed and technique to ensure a

victory over the 6-foot-5 and 249 lb. Chrissman. Then, just recently, Hensley won the Ourway State Title, another state competition not associated with the OAC. With his last two tournament victories, Hensley finished his season 54-3 with tournament victories in Philo, West Virginia and at Moeller High School and Elder High School among others. After placing fifth in the Tulsa Nationals, Hensley will be traveling to Iowa with his team ECCW, a club associated with Moeller, in April in hopes of obtaining his second All-American honor. He will also be competing in the Virginia Beach Nationals and Ohio Tournament of Champions.

Eastern’s Andrea Tracy stretches out to make a catch in the Lady Warriors game with Valley on Monday night as teammate Jordan Dawson backs up.

In the sixth inning, the Lady Warriors got a little closer. Again it was Johnson who started the rally. After Mikayla Purdy singl ed to lead off the inning but was caught stealing, Johnson singled into right field. She went to third on Mullins’ ground out to second base and scored when Seigla hit a slow grounder down the third base line and beat it out for an infield single as Johnson crossed home plate to make it a 5-3 ballgame. Though Dillow struck out 10, the Lady Warriors grinded out six hits -- two each by Johnson and Kayla

Ratliff -- and the three runs against the All-State pitcher. “I’m proud of that,” Forsythe said of the offensive production against Dillow. “I think that’s great.” But the Lady Indians were not to be denied. They kept the pressure on and, finally, in the top of the final inning broke through for three more runs to go up 8-3 and on to the win. “I’m definitely not disappointed at all, really,” Forsythe said. “It’s like I told them, I hate to lose but losing to a good team... that’ll make us get better.”

He was in the mid-50’s.” After the Rocket s added five more runs in the bottom of the fourth thanks to run scoring hits from Peters, Stephan Pappas and Taylor Wood to make it 130, Peters quickly mowed down the Mustangs in the top of the fifth after allowing a lead off walk. He struck out the next two batters before snatching a chopper of the middle for the final out of what was a dominant opening game performance by Peters and his teammates.

Veteran Broncos have confidence on the courts BY Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press With the biggest group that he’s had out in several years, Western Brown boys tennis coach Tom Ball is cautiously optimistic about this year’s team. This season’s edition of the Broncos has 15 members and is made up of seven seniors, three juniors and five freshman. Given the mix of experience and youth, Ball thinks the Broncos are a pretty formidable group that can compete for a Southern Buckeye Conference American Division title. “We’re in the running for it but I’m not going to say we’re the one,” Ball said on Wednesday afternoon as the Broncos battled Clinton Massie. “I’m kind of optimistic.” Early on Ball has looked to his seven seniors to fill his starting spots. Mcree Kidwell has taken hold of the No. 1 singles position and Ball looks for him to keep it for much of the season. As for the remaining two singles spots and both doubles positions, there will be a little more competition. But for now all but one of those slots are filled by seniors. Filling the No. 2 and No. 3 singles positions is junior Chase Latham and senior Jeremy Black, respectively, while seniors Nathan Creech and Jordan Hilton have filled the No. 1 doubles slot early in the season. While he has been rotat-

ing players through the No. 2 doubles position early in the season, seniors Brandon Elliot and Nathan

Rymer have spent much of the time in that slot. But Ball said beyond Kidwell nothing is yet set in stone. “Everything is still up in the air,” Ball said. “I’m still getting players in the right positions.” While they may currently be behind the seniors on the depth chart, the remaining two juniors and all five freshman are looking push their way through. Ball wants the younger players to earn their time but said some -- he singled out freshman Quade Kidwell in particular -- have made their case for some varsity action this year. “I can build for next year (too) because I have five freshman and three juniors,” Ball said. “They just need time on the court and adequate weather.” Early on this season -they opened their season on Monday afternoon -- the Broncos have lived up to Ball’s hopes. They opened the season with a 3-2 win over Glen Este on Monday night at home thanks to wins from Latham in singles and both the No. 1 doubles team of Creech and Hilton as well as the No. 2 doubles team

Lady G-Men: Split pair of games to start sively in the first game and for most of the first two innings, the Lady G-Men struggled in the third. Nomi Day’s popup fell in shallow left field to start the inning for the Lady Dragons before teammate Sam Taylor reached base when her bunt was fielded but the throw was high to first base. Both Day and Taylor moved up a base on the over throw. Back-to-back singles from Natasha Barr and Sami Hinton pushed three runs across the plate to make it 4-1 in favor of the Lady Dragons. After recording the first out of the inning, the Lady GMen’s deficit increased when Erin Ross laced a double to center field to score another run. Before Jessica Smith could get Taylor Martin to ground out to end the inning, Mary Hinton added another run with a grounder past shortstop Kaelyn Jordan to make it 6-1 Lady Dragons. “It just took the wind out of their sails and they just quit,” Chadwell said of the inning. “That’s disappointing. I think after you win the first game you’ve got to dig in on that.” From that point on the Lady G-Men weren’t able to put much else together. They had flashes, including turning a well executed 6-4-3 double play in the fifth inning, but never really mustered a rally. “We just didn’t hit as well. I don’t know how many balls we hit out to the outfield in the second game,” Chadwell said. “We didn’t make them make plays. We hit routine balls to them and they made routine plays.”

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 15 opener of the twinbill. Finding themselves down 20 as they headed to the plate in the bottom of the fourth inning, the Lady G-Men went to work. With Meranda Sullivan at second after earning a walk and Whitney Kistler on first after a single, Ally Dowd got the Lady G-Men on the board with a single. Then Cecilia Schwartz laced a triple that pushed Kistler and Dowd across the plate and gave Georgetown a 3-2 lead. Taylor Linkous got Schwartz home with a single to make it 4-2. They added on to their lead in the sixth when Schwartz picked up her third RBI of the game with a single before Linkous doubled in to to give the Lady G-Men a 7-2 lead as they rolled to the win. The offensive outburst backed a solid performance from sophomore pitcher Allison Smith. She pitched a complete game, although she battled some wildness, while striking out four and giving up just four hits. “We put some runs on the board for her,” Chadwell said of Smith. Though starting pitcher Jessica Smith gave up a run in the top of the first inning, mostly thanks to an error and a misplayed popup in the infield, she seemed to settled down in the second inning after her teammates got the run back. A Whitney Kistler shallow pop fly to right field fell in for a hit and allowed Sullivan, who had doubled, to score. But then the top of the third inning happened. After playing solid defen-

of Elliot and Rymer. Then, on Tuesday night, the Broncos traveled to Bethel and came back with a hard fought 5-0 conference victory over the Tigers. Mcree Kidwell and Latham each pulled out wins pretty easily but everyone else had to fight to earn their win. “It got pretty tight with the No. 3 singles and both doubles but they managed to pull it out,” Ball said. “They had to dig it out in order to pull it out.” The Broncos earned their third win of the season on Wednesday afternoon against visiting Clinton Massie. Mcree Kidwell, Latham and the No. 2 doubles team of Rymer and Elliot won in straight sets while Black and the No. 1 doubles team of Helton and Creech had to earn hard fought three set wins in the 5-0 victory. Already 3-0 (1-0 SBC A) on the young season, Ball reiterated that his team would compete this year against the top teams in the league like New Richmond and Amelia. “We’ll be in the hunt. I can tell you that right now but I don’t want to count my chickens before they hatch,” he said. The Broncos are: Seniors: Jeremy Black, Brandon Elliot, Jordan Hilton, Mcree Kidwell, Trey Mitchell, Nathan Creech and Nathan Rymer. Juniors: Chase Latham, Sean McKenzie and Cory Kuttler. Freshman: Anthony Howard, Chase Perkins, Derrick Mitchell, Quade Kidwell and Tanner Luck.

Tough start to season for the G-Men nine on the diamond BY Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press It wasn’t quite the beginning Georgetown baseball co-coach Eric Gregory had wanted for the G-Men when they opened the 2012 season last Saturday against West Union. Though the G-Men showed flashes of their potential throughout both games of their doubleheader against the visiting Dragons, their inexperience and youth -- as well as eight errors in each game - was too much to overcome as they fell short, 12-1 and 13-9, in both games. “We take some positives. We pitched well, we just didn’t field well,” Gregory said after the back end of the doubleheader. “Errors killed us the first game, killed us that game. Pitching wise I threw four guys and all four of them threw great.” The day seemed to get off to a good start as the GMen pushed across a run in their half of opening inning of the first game to take an early 1-0 lead. It quickly went down hill after that, unfortunately, for the G-Men. With the bases loaded thanks to a couple errors in the top of the second inning, Dragon pitcher Tyler McCoy helped himself out as hit one over the left fielders head off of Georgetown starter Jacob Miller. The hit cleared the bases and gave West Union a 3-1 lead. By the time the top of the second was over, the Dragons had secured a 5-1 lead that ended up being more than enough for the visitors. McCoy seemed to put it in cruise control for the last six innings as he mowed down the G-Men one after the other while pilling up 14 strikeouts in the 12-1 win. “We didn’t hit the ball well the first game,” Gre-

gory. “They started being more patient at the plate and that’s the thing (in the first game), we weren’t patient. We were swinging at stuff out of the strike zone. Guys (were) getting ancy in the batters box.” Much of the second game seemed like a continuance of the first. After adding three runs to their lead in the top of the fifth inning, the Dragons were on top 10-1. This time, however, the G-Men answered. With a more patient approached to their at-bats, the G-Men began to find success. It started when three straight G-Men batters worked walks to open the bottom of the fifth inning. A Seth Teegarden fielders choice got one run in before Brad Zurbach doubled down the left field line to score two. Tanner Turner then hit a slow grounder to the third baseman that allowed Zurbach to score from third and make it 10-5 game before the inning was over. But the G-Men couldn’t keep the deficit to five. A walk and an error set the table for a two run top of the sixth inning for the Dragons. Again, McCoy came through as his two out double to deep center added the second run of the

inning to make it 12-5 before he was thrown out at third on a nice relay from center fielder Teegarden and shortstop Miller. “We would score a couple runs and then we would give up three for every two we scored,” Gregory said. “And you’re not going to win games like that.” The G-Men’s patience at the plate helped them get a run back in the bottom of the sixth when Miller hit a fielders choice to the second baseman that allowed Merle Davis to score from third to make it 12-6. But, again, the Dragons answered with a run of their own in the top of the seventh inning to increase the G-Men deficit to seven as they headed in for their

last at-bat. Turner and Cory Bettle worked walks to kick start the rally before Kyle Jodrey beat out an grounder to the third baseman for a hit. The play scored Douglas Johnson, who was running for Turner, from third to make it 13-7. Davis then singled to shallow right field to score Bettle and make it a 13-8 game. There were still no outs in the inning. Though the Dragons got their first out during the next at-bat, Jodrey was able to score when Dragons pitcher Cody Spriggs balked him in from third. At that point the Dragons had seen enough and had McCoy head back out to the mound and the senior hurler quickly got the final two outs to end the GMen threat and the game. While the day ended with disappointing results, Gregory did see some improvements as the day went on. Though they weren’t major, the improvements were nice to see considering just how young and inexperienced this G-Men team is. Two of their starting seniors are playing baseball for the first time in high school this year and three freshman started at least one of the games. “We’ve have age but we’re still young,” Gregory said.

Congresswoman Jean Schmidt recently presented medals to two Vietnam War veterans and the family of a deceased World War II veteran, who had requested her help in obtaining the commendations. “The men earned these medals during their service with the U.S. military, and I was happy to help them obtain this long-overdue recognition,” Congresswoman Schmidt said. “I offered my thanks and gratitude to them on behalf of a grateful nation.” Recognized during a ceremony at the Ohio Veterans Home in Georgetown were: George William Morgan III of Ripley in Brown County, who received the Army Commendation Medal, the Good Conduct Medal, the National Defense Service Medal, the Vietnam Service Medal with one bronze campaign star attachment, the Republic of Vietnam Campaign Ribbon with 1960 device, the Driver & Mechanic Badge with driver bar, and the Expert Badge & Rifle Bar. John Brockhoeft of Peebles in Adams County, a Navy veteran who received the National Defense Service Medal, the Meritorious Unit Commendation Ribbon, and the Vietnam Service Medal. The late A.J.

Mr. Clark entered active duty in the Navy on Nov. 10, 1943. He was honorably discharged on Dec. 22, 1945. Mr. Clark served aboard the USS Denver and participated in at least five major conflicts with enemy forces throughout the Pacific. Accepting the medals on his behalf were his children, George Clark of Amelia in Clermont County, Mildred Partin of Batavia in Clermont County, and Jerry Clark of Aberdeen in Brown County. Mr. Morgan was inducted into the Army on May 24, 1966. He was honorably discharged from active duty on May 23, 1968, and later from the reserve component on May 23, 1972. Mr. Morgan completed basic training at Fort Dix and received combat engineer training at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri, before being shipped to Vietnam.

The Cold Case File: Permm E. Gilbert BY Rick W. Combs Chief Deputy, Clermont County Permm Gilbert was 46 years old and was living with his family along State Route 774 just inside Brown County, Ohio at the time of his death on or about May 23, 1982. Our office, Clermont County Sheriff, became involved in his disappearance after his nude body was found in a low lying ditch along Swope Road in Clermont County on the morning of May 23. Though Gilbert was not immediately identified, the dump site was within 5 miles of his residence so it took little time for investigators to review missing persons reports and match Permm to one filed in Brown County. Evidence indicated he had been fatally shot then dumped. Gilbert was a long time traveling appliance repairman and traveled in Brown, Clermont and Adams counties in Ohio and portions of northern Kentucky. Permm was accustomed to keeping late hours with the routes he traveled to get to his customers. Oddly, for several days after his body was discovered his white panel work van was missing and turned up abandoned just across the river from Maysville, Ky., in Adams County on Ebenezer

Road. The van did reveal some useful evidence that modern day technology could utilize. Gilbert was last seen alive at Clyde’s Super Value located at 1200 Forest Avenue in Maysville, Ky., on May 22, 1982 just before noon. Permm was a regular visitor to this store and was quite well known by many. Investigators established the motive for the murder was not a robbery and believe it was someone who may have had a vendetta for Permm. His death more than likely centered around events in Maysville, Ky. There are rumors regarding what exactly happened to Mr. Gilbert, and we have identified several “persons of interest” in this case and ask the public for any information they may have failed to report at the time of Permm’s death. In November 2011, the case was assigned for an indepth follow up by the Investigative Section. Anyone with old or new information about this unsolved case, especially from the Maysville, Ky. area, please feel free to call Lt. Steve Leahy or Sgt. Chris Stratton at (513) 732-7545 and share your information as we attempt to move closer to a answer to all of our questions about the murder of Permm Gilbert.

Clerk of Court’s office announces recent achievements Brown County Clerk of Courts Michele Harris is pleased to announce extensive progress in the operation of county related court functions. Since her appointment this past December, Clerk Michele Harris has worked to make the Clerk of Court’s Office more efficient by improving employee skills through cross-training and further continuing education of court administration processes. “My staff and I have tried to make the office more user friendly for the residents of Brown County and those who rely on our court system,” said Harris. “For example, we have implemented a new phone system at the Court of Common Pleas to help direct the community to the appropriate sections of the Clerk’s office in an easier and quicker fashion,” added Harris. Additionally, Clerk of Courts employees have focused particularly on working to get all the outdated court filings and cases caught up. Specifically, the Clerk of Court’s Office has put extra emphasis on processing foreclosure cases. This added emphasis has allowed the Clerk of Court’s office to increase the amount of money paid into the county general found by bringing foreclosure cases to their endpoints. In the month of February alone, the Clerk of Court’s Office has transferred $44,000 to the county general fund. Additionally, in February the Clerk’s Office has transferred over $19,000 in past due foreclosure fees from 2011 to Sheriff Dwayne Wenninger’s Office. “The Clerk of Court’s Office collects fees for the county and the Sheriff’s office while a foreclosure case is pending. After a foreclosed property sells at a Sheriff’s sale, the Clerk’s Office must finalize the case by dispersing the proper fee amounts to the respective county offices,” stated Clerk Michele Harris. “Unfortunately, the Clerk of Court’s Office was behind on many foreclosure cases and therefore not dispersing money to county’s general fund in a timely fashion. Through proper training and increased employee morale the Clerk’s Office is getting adequately caught up and getting the county’s money back into the general fund where it belongs,” stated Harris. “We should be completely caught up soon on uncompleted foreclosure cases. It is my goal for the Clerk of Courts Office to transfer another large sum of money to the county general fund next month as well,” stated Harris. In addition, to completing pending foreclosure cases the Clerk’s Office also transferred the county’s un-

claimed funds from 2010 to the general fund. “The Clerk’s Office has posted our unclaimed funds in the Court of Common Pleas for the past two months and now we have paid into the county, $18,891.26. With all our budgets’ being tight, the Clerk of Court’s Office is trying to do everything it can do to help get money back to the people it belongs to,” Harris said. “If your name is on this list, please contact the Commissioner’s office to learn how to claim your funds.” “Lastly, if it was not for the hardworking and dedicated employees of the Clerk of Court’s Office none of these achievements would have been possible. Making the Clerk of Courts Office running effectively and efficiently for county residents has truly been a team effort. I am proud of my staff’s effort and look forward to announcing further achievements.” concluded Harris. Unclaimed Funds List Shellina M. Voss, Mark C. Stevens, Sr., Brent Moermond, Cecelia Potts,

U.S. Grant Celebration features new programs The 2012 U.S. Grant Celebration in Georgetown, Ohio will feature several new programs on April 2629. The Brown County Historical Society will feature a program called “War Letters – Love Letters” at the United Methodist Church on Thursday, April 26 at 7:30 p.m. The letters are actual correspondence between Netta Taylor, and her husband Thomas Taylor, during the Civil War. Mr. and Mrs. Taylor were prominent citizens of Georgetown. The letters give a revealing picture of Georgetown and Brown County during the war, and reveal the hardships that families faced when the husband and father went off to war. There is no charge for this event. Friday night’s program will feature Fritz Klein at Floral Hall as Abraham Lincoln this year. Tickets are $5.00, students $3.00 and children under 12 free. Klein is a nationally known Lincoln re-enactor and has appeared at the Georgetown Celebration for several years. He will also participate in a discussion, “Bloody Shiloh”, with Generals U.S. Grant and William T. Sherman, portrayed by Mike Miller and Rob Curtis, on Saturday at 11 a.m. at the history tent. On Saturday, at the history tent, Lisa Smith will discuss Netta Taylor and the Taylor letters. Smith’s doctorate degree dissertation was based on the Taylor letters.

Ernie Parnell and Stan Purdy will debate the causes of the Civil War at 1:30 p.m. Saturday at the history tent. The session will be moderated by Pat Hornschemeier. Parnell, a long time re-enactor, will take the southern position and Purdy the northern. Purdy is President of the U.S. Grant Homestead Association and re-enacts the role of U.S. Colonel Dwight C. Loudon. Brett Griffith will present a program on Civil War insignias at 2:30 p.m. Saturday. The Celebration will include other popular programs such as Dr. Lodwick’s History Walk, a Suffrage Rally, Cavalry Demonstration, Thomas Hamer, Ladies Tea with Charen Fink, Infantry Drill, 70th OVI Memorial, Call to Arms, a Court Martial, and the Grand Ball at Floral Hall. A complete program is available at the Brown Co. Public Libraries in Mt. Orab, Fayetteville, Sardinia, Mary P. Shelton Library in Georgetown, and Union Township Public Libraries in Russellville, Ripley and Aberdeen. Tickets to the Ball are $15.00 adult, $5.00 students, with period dress required. Tickets for paid events are available at Donohoo Pharmacy in Georgetown. All activities Saturday will take place at the U.S. Grant Homestead and Floral Hall. Food will be available during the day.

Grant statue to be dedicated Plans are underway to dedicate the statue of U.S. Grant in the park on the Courthouse square in Georgetown on April 28 at 10 a.m. during the 2012 Grant Celebration. The statue has not been completed but it is expected to be done and delivered by April. The Village is preparing the site. The statue is a joint effort of the U.S. Grant Homestead Association, the Village of Georgetown, and Georgetown Marble and Granite. The public is invited to participate in this effort by purchasing a commemorative brick to be placed in the plaza in the park for $35. Applications for the bricks can be obtained at the Mary P. Shelton Library in Georgetown, the Town Building, Georgetown Marble & Granite and Purdy & Ring Law office. Grant Park Benches can also be purchased for $1500. The wrong U.S. Grant picture was recently submitted to The Brown County Press. The above photo is the correct statue.

Recently my husband and I traveled to Iowa for the John Deere “Gathering of the Green”. We were treated to 80 degree temperatures and scattered showers on our visit. Forsythia and Magnolias were in full bloom and farmers were working ground. On the way home we even saw someone planting! As we pulled in the drive I have to admit that suddenly I felt overwhelmed by the tasks that needed attention. In the book, Gardening for a Lifetime, Sydney Eddison shares some important advice for any gardener. “Life is perfect only rarely and briefly, and gardens are the same. Living things are always in a state of becoming. A seed becomes a mature plant, which enjoys a brief prime, ages, dies, and becomes compost to nurture a new generation. As that is how nature works, our best hope of a simpler way to garden lies in learning to go with the flow.” I am anxious to get some seeds in the ground and will get the cold frame ready for planting this week. I pulled out the leftover seeds from last year and will make a list of what needs to be purchased. My husband asked about growing some blueberries and my reply was, “Sure, if you build me a raised bed for them!” Out came my garden list, and now blueberries and the needed supplies to amend the soil have been added. My garden mantra this year is, “Go with the flow!” Do you have a young gardener in your family? Have you ever thought about planting a “FiveSenses Container Garden”? In the book, 101 Kid-Friendly Plants, author Cindy Krezel suggests this fun way for children to explore sight, smell, sound, taste and touch with plants. The basic requirements include: (1) Potting mix (not garden soil), (2) Large container with good drainage, (3) Place plants with similar needs together. Krezel’s plant choices: Basil (yummy), Cockscomb (funky on the fingers), Coleus (great colorful leaves), Lamb’s ear (as soft and furry as a lamb’s ear), Hen and chicks (great to touch and fun to watch), Ice plant (edible, fragrant, and great to touch), Lavender (delicious to smell), Lilac (possibly the best smell ever), Lilyturf (make some noise – hold a blade between your thumbs and use it as a reed), Mint (delicious), Nasturtium (fun to pinch off and nibble – spicy), Ornamental grasses (soothing sounds), Parsley (easy and

fence and garden gate. Cabbage plants, kale, onion plants and sets, swiss chard, leaf lettuce, French radishes, and spinach all enjoyed the rain last night. I transplanted some volunteer parsley plants to the front porch bed and found the chewed remnants of the stems this morning. Somebody must have been watching me plant yesterday from their home under the Blue Spruce tree. We mowed our lawn for the first time this season. My husband grumbled the whole time that no one should have to mow in March! He discovered a missing branch from one of our Scotch Pine trees down along the creek. We think that the beaver have returned and decided to chew on some pine trees. The large branch was gone, but the chew “clues” remained. This past week Brown County Master Gardener Volunteers met with the Veteran Gardeners at the Ohio Veterans Home at Georgetown. Susan Barber gave a presentation on “Extreme Gardening – Growing Giant Pumpkins and Watermelons”. We took a soil sample from the raised beds and as we left, Art Puckett and his son were working on turning the soil and planting potatoes, peas and some other cool weather crops. Is your garden tilled? Are the weeds getting a head start on you? Did you make a list of what you planted in your vegetable garden last year? Remember how important it is to rotate your crops! Some of the crop families are a little confusing. The potato family includes eggplant, pepper, potato, tomatillo and tomato. When you are gardening in a small space, just try to keep the crops with the most severe soil problems – potatoes, onions, and members of the cabbage family-moving on a three or four-year cycle and do your best with the rest. I know that you are as excited as I am to finally get digging in the dirt!

This workshop starts at 6:00 p.m. and is free to the public. I am excited to report that we have our first meeting of the season with the gardeners at the Ohio Veterans Home at Georgetown this week. We will be helping amend the soil, till, plant, or complete any other jobs as needed. But most of all, we look forward to visiting with these Veteran Gardeners and renewing our gardening friendships. *** After a “walk about” on our property we were surprised to find lilac bushes ready to bloom! What a strange, but beautiful spring we are enjoying. I have never seen my Forsythia bloom as it has this year. What’s not blooming at my house? My Redbuds! Each year I anticipate relishing in their purple blooms, only to be disappointed as they leaf out without flowering. These little Eastern Redbuds were transplanted from a hillside at my in-laws, where as we speak, that same hillside is full of purple blooms. The reference books state that Redbuds will grow well in full sun, partial shade or light shade. The soil should be a fertile, deep loam that is moist and well drained. This plant has tender roots and does not like being transplanted. Caterpillars, leafhoppers, scale insects, weevils, blight, canker, dieback, downy mildew, leaf spot and Verticillium wilt are potential problems for redbuds. Maybe those little transplants are still building up energy from being moved and they will reward me with blooms next year! I planted my “rabbit patch” in the garden yesterday. This part of the garden is guarded by a mesh
