Brown County General Hospital sale cancelled eral positive steps in the right direction for the hospital’s success. “It would have been nice to have the financial support that Essent could have provided. We have already undertaken a strategic plan of action with the addition of Dr. Efren Aganon, Pediatrician, who now

practices from the Brown County Family Physician offices and Suzanne Gunter, DO, who now practices in our Mt. Orab Regional Family HealthCARE. We have also added OB/GYN physicians Barbara Patridge MD and Judith Varnau, DO to our

newest program Brown County Maternity and Women’s Health. These physicians are committed to providing quality services to the people in the communities in which we serve,” said Patterson.

Eric Sontag, Chairman of the Hospital Board of Trustees

commented, “Brown County will continue to provide services to the community as it has for the past 58 years. The time has come for the community to return such loyalty through the use of hospital services and locally available physicians and medical specialists.”

Essent Healthcare, Inc. officials announced Thursday that the company has decided not to pursue a transaction to purchase Brown County General Hospital in Georgetown, Ohio.

“The Brown County General Hospital Board of Trustees have worked with Essent over

many months and are reasonably disappointed that the parties could not consummate the said Mike transaction” Patterson, Brown County Regional HealthCARE CEO. Patterson indicated that the hospital has already, without Essent’s assistance, taken sev-

Man arrested for shooting at police officers

Kroger Marketplace is set to open this Thursday

BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press A Brown County Sheriff’s Deputy and a Mt. Orab Police Officer were shot at last Monday night.

A press release from the Sheriff’s Submitted Photo Department said a deputy John Pringle was dispatched to 15282 Bodman Road, Mt. Orab to a domestic violence call involving a weapon. A Mt. Orab officer also responded as backup.

The Sheriff said that when the officers got the the house, John Pringle, 54, shot at both of them with a 12 gauge semi auto shotgun. Pellets hit both cruisers, but neither of the officers were injured.

The press release said Pringle and his wife had been having a verbal argument, CONTINUED ON PAGE 15

Ex-treasurer charged with stealing money

BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press The former treasurer of the Mt. Orab Girls Softball Association has been indicted for stealing thousands of dollars from that group.

Lori Henley, 36, is accused of theft by deception for taking over ten thousand dollars between April of 2006 and October of 2008.

According to Brown County Prosecuting Attorney Jessica Little, the theft was discovered after the Association’s concession stand was repossessed in January of 2009 for non-payment.

Association members believed the concession stand had been paid for, but according to Little, Henley had entered into a contract to purchase the building and failed to keep up the payments.

The building was later returned.

Little also said Henley wrote numerous checks from the Association for cash, and in one instance, paid her electric bill with an Association check.

Henley has not been arrested as of press time.

She faces up to 18 months in prison, a five thousand dollar fine and restitution in the amount of the theft if convicted.

Sun Group NEWSPAPERS

BY Wayne Boblitt The Brown County Press Less than 10 months after breaking ground, the massive new Kroger Marketplace is scheduled to open its doors this Tuesday.

Mt. Orab Kroger Assistant Manager Becky Malott said the current store is scheduled to remain open until 6 p.m. this Wednesday, May 5.

The new store will open at 7 a.m. the next day with a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony slated about 8 a.m. One scheduled participant is Geoff Covert, president of Kroger’s Cincinnati-Dayton Division, which includes the Mt. Orab Marketplace.

Malott said the Kroger Company selected Mt. Orab for a Marketplace because of the

current store’s sales growth and the area’s population growth.

Mt. Orab Kroger Manager Bob Boland said the new store will offer many items Mt. Orab-area residents currently drive to the Eastgate area of Clermont County to purchase.

The Kroger Marketplace will include a Fred Meyer Jewelers store; sections for furniture and bed and bath goods; and Baby World, a section offering a variety of baby goods for sale. Boland sale the Mt. Orab Marketplace will be Baby World’s test market.

He said the new store also will offer what the current store sells but in larger varieties in such departments as meat, seafood, cheeses, produce, canned goods, international foods, books and hardware.

The store manager added all the Marketplace’s departments will have the newest equipment and technology.

Judge responds to suit

BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press Common Pleas Judge Scott Gusweiler’s attorneys are asking that the suit filed against him by Clerk of Courts Tina Meranda be dismissed.

In a 13 page response to the lawsuit filed last Wednesday, the Cincinnati law firm of Montgomery, Rennie and Johnson said Meranda’s claim should be dismissed with prejudice by appointed Judge Thomas Nurre.

“With prejudice” means

Meranda would be barred from filing another lawsuit making

the same claims.

If Nurre agrees with Gusweiler’s attorneys, the case would then end with the stroke of his pen.

If he disagrees, the case proceeds to a jury trial.

The response addresses claims by Meranda point by point and tries to sway the opinion of the judge with case law.

It begins by asserting that Judge Gusweiler is absolutely immune from monetary damages.

County voters will decide May 4 whether to raise sales, use taxes

BY Wayne Boblitt The Brown County Press

All Brown County voters will have the opportunity during the Primary Election this Tuesday, May 4, to decide whether to approve a .25 cent increase in the county’s sales tax and use tax.

While the Brown County Board of Commissioners approved those increases on Oct. 28, 2009, to be collected in 2010, those increases have been put on hold pending the outcome of the May 4 ballot ques-

tion placed before voters.

The question was placed on the ballot after supporters of an effort to overturn the commissioners’ decision collected enough voters’ signatures to get it on the ballot.

Shoppers in Brown County currently pay 6.75 percent in sales taxes on their purchases of taxable goods. The State of Ohio receives 5.5 cents from each taxable dollar spent in Brown County while Brown County government’s General Fund receives 1 cent with another .25 cent, which was

approved by voters, going to fund operations of the Brown County 911 Communications Center in Georgetown.

The increased sales and use taxes, which were aimed to generate revenue exclusively for Brown County government’s General Fund, were to have become effective this past Jan. 1 and remain in effect for five years with a scheduled ending date of Wednesday, Dec. 31, 2014.

The referendum which Brown County voters will CONTINUED ON PAGE 14

One thing that won’t change with the opening of the Kroger Marketplace, however, is the location of the store’s gas sta-

Last work day moved up for two doctors

BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press The resignations of two Georgetown OB/GYN physicians from Healthsource of Ohio were “accelerated” on April 22.

Doctor Barbara Patridge said she was working in the Healthsource Seaman office that day when she was called to County General Brown Hospital.

She said when she arrived, she was publically fired in the lobby by Healthsource CEO Kim Patton.

Patridge said Patton told her the same circumstances applied to Doctor Judith Varnau and five of the eight staff members working for them, effective immediately.

Lisa Jackson, Vice President of Marketing and Development for Healthsource of Ohio, simply said that the resignations of Patridge, Varnau and the other five staff members were “accelerated upon the advice of legal counsel”.

But Patridge was a bit more clear.

“Kim Patton implied to me that we were trying to steal patients and staff from (Healthsource)”

Patridge denied that she tried to recruit patients or staff from Healthsource to her new practice.

She said that her patients were given a “very bland” explanation of the situation and their options, and they were not actively recruited to leave Healthsource.

Referring to her dismissal, she said “I was accused, tried, convicted and executed.”

Patridge and Varnau had previously announced plans to leave Healthsource on May 14 and open a practice based at Brown County General Hospital.

Their resignations from Healthsource were to be effective that day.

The move was brought about by a plan by Healthsource to CONTINUED ON PAGE 15

Rain chases Grant Days raid indoors

BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press Confederate General John Hunt Morgan didn’t have to look very far for victims last Saturday in Georgetown.

They were all clustered in the Gaslight Theater.

The threat of rain and thunderstorms drove one of the signature events of the 14th Annual Grant Days Celebration indoors.

Children in the audience held their ears against the rifle pops as the rebels fought their way into the theater and started looting.

Flags were fought over, gold was demanded and more than one rebel felt the wrath of Aunt Betsy King’s rolling pin.

Before the mayhem, the crowd gathered for the wedding of Julia Saylor and Craig Clark of Georgetown.

The rebels turned out to be

uninvited guests, with more than one invader sampling the wedding cake on the Gaslight stage.

The raid reenactment recalls the actual raid on Georgetown in July of 1863.

U.S. Grant Homestead Association President Stan Purdy said executing the raid was “exhausting” but he felt things went well, considering the circumstances.

“Georgetown has a great history of community theater and this is an opportunity to tap into that in an entertaining way.”

Terry Kidd of Morehead, Ky, played General Morgan for the second time this year.

“I love coming to Georgetown. This is something special”, he said.

“Any time a town tries to pass on history like this, I’m all for that.”

Two ballot issues impact only Aberdeen or a Perry Twp. area

BY Wayne Boblitt The Brown County Press

While all Brown County voters will have the opportunity during the Primary Election this Tuesday, May 4, to vote on three statewide and countywide ballot issues, voters in two areas of the county will vote on more localized ballot issues.

Aberdeen voters will decide whether their village should implement an Opt-Out Natural Gas Aggregation Program, and voters in a small section of one Perry Township precinct will vote, along with many Clinton County voters, on a proposed additional 2-mill continuing tax levy to fund the Blanchester Public Library’s operations.

Aberdeen Voters To Decide Aberdeen Village Council members adopted an ordinance at their regular meeting on Jan. 4 to authorize all action necessary to obtain an Opt-Out Natural Gas Aggregation Program for that village.

According to the ordinance, Aberdeen Mayor Garland Renchen had recommended its passage “in order to provide this opportunity for cost savings to the residents of Aberdeen”.

Aberdeen Village Solicitor Jay Cutrell said the proposal, if adopted by voters, will allow the village to contract with and negotiate with other natural gas suppliers besides Aberdeen’s current supplier in an effort to obtain less expensive natural gas rates for Aberdeen residents.

The ordinance states the proposed program would enable village consumers to realize lower cost natural gas supplies and other benefits from the aggregation and collective purchasing of natural gas supplies.

Once enrolled in the program, a consumer may opt out

E V E N

only every two years without paying a switching fee.

Library Levy To Be Decided Some voters in Brown County Precinct 200 (Perry Township West) will decide on May 4 whether to approve a ballot issue levying an additional 2mill tax levy for a continuing period of time beginning in 2010 to help pay current expenses for the Blanchester Public Library operations.

Unlike the two public library districts set up in Brown County that serve seven library branches altogether, the Blanchester Library is affiliated with the Blanchester Local School District. The Perry Township West Precinct voters who will be deciding on the levy on May 4 are the same ones who reside in the small portion of the Blanchester Local School District that extends into Perry Township.

Blanchester Public Library Director Chris Owens said the levy is needed to avoid further cuts and to offset the reduction of state government funding.

According to an informational sheet on the proposed levy, the owner of a home valued at $100,000 will pay $5.25 in library taxes each month if the levy is adopted.

The library currently has a 1mill, five-year levy that expires at the end of 2011. This costs $2.63 per month for the owner of a home valued at $100,000, and the 2-mill levy, if adopted, will replace the current levy.

The 2-mill levy is projected to provide the library with $230,000 per year, or double the $115,000 the current levy provides. The new levy, for which collections would begin in 2011, would provide about 40 percent of the library’s funding.

Incumbent Schmidt faces three challengers in U.S. House Primary

CMYK

BY Wayne Boblitt The Brown County Press

U.S. Rep. Jean Schmidt is seeking the Republican Party’s nomination once again as its U.S. House of Representatives candidate in Ohio’s Second Congressional District Primary Election this Tuesday, May 4.

Schmidt, 58, of Clermont Miami Township, County’s faces three opponents in Tuesday’s election as she runs to win a third complete two-year term in the U.S. House.

Opponents include Debbi Alsfelder, 52, a Certified Public Accountant and attorney from Mariemont; Mike Kilburn, 55, a Warren County commissioner from Morrow first elected to that post in 1982; and Tim Martz, 55, an account manager with Lykins Oil Company from Indian Hill.

Schmidt first won a Special Election in August 2005 to fill a U.S. House seat vacancy from the Second District created when former Republican U.S. Rep. Rob Portman resigned to take a position in President George W. Bush’s Administration. Portman is the Republican Party’s nominee in this year’s U.S. Senate race in Ohio.

Schmidt went on to win full two-year terms in the U.S. House in the 2006 and 2008 General Elections in the Second District.

Each of the four Republican U.S. House candidates responded to survey questions submitted to them by The Brown County Press as follow. *** Jean Schmidt: 1. Why are you running for re-election to the U.S. House the Second from Congressional District? There is a lot of work to be done to restore our economy, reduce the size and scope of the federal government, and reduce the massive deficit this Congress and president have left for our children and grandchildren to pay for.

2. What do you feel are some of your biggest accomplishments as a U.S. representative since you were first elected in August 2005? I believe I honestly represent the ideas and values of the people of Ohio’s Second Congressional District. I have worked to promote the fiscal conservative ideas to get our economy back on track and to oppose the out of control federal spending.

3. What do you think are

the three most important issues facing the Second Congressional District today?

The most important issue is jobs, and to turn this economy around, we need to do three things.

Reducing federal spending, cutting the massive expansion of the federal bureaucracy and reducing the federal deficit is how we accomplish this. *** Debbi Alsfelder: 1. Why are you running for the U.S. House? Like most, I am upset about what has gone on in Washington (D.C.) over the last several years and the direction of our country. With three sons serving in the Army, I watch our soldiers fight for our security and freedoms.

2. What do you feel qualifies you for this office? As the only candidate in this race with either an accounting or legal background and a strong military connection, I will immediately get to work by cutting wasteful spending, balancing the budget, and writing legislation to promote the interests and concerns of the Second District.

3. What do you think are the three most important issues facing the Second Congressional District today?

The economy is the largest, most all-encompassing issue facing the Second District and our country today. This includes jobs and unemployment, small business worries, deficit spending, and national debt. Immigration issues and energy dependence also affect the economy. We need fiscal responsibility, incentives for small businesses and an overhaul of our tax system. *** Mike Kilburn: 1. Why are you running for the U.S. House? I am running because I trust my judgment better than I do Jean Schmidt. I have a conservative philosophy; she is a Progressive. We have got to slit the throat of this spending monster in Congress. I have a demonstrated track record of less spending, less taxes and less government.

2. What do you feel qualifies you for this office?

I have a true understanding of

Letters to the Editor Talley says religion for some is performance art

E V E N

Medical crisis strengthens the bonds of friendship I don’t think I knew what true friendship was until these last few weeks. In what felt like lightening procession my best friend’s son was diagnosed with a brain tumor, had brain surgery, and is now recovering, but will require some additional treatment.

This has happened in a week and a half.

On a Thursday my phone rang, and it was Pam calling me. The time was 4:27PM, and her son Alex’s MRI was at 4PM. I was hoping she was calling to vent about them running behind. As soon as I said “hello”, there was a pause, and I knew it was not good news.

She could hardly speak, because she was crying so hard. At this point, all she knew was it was a tumor Alex was being admitted to Children’s Hospital immediately. I wanted to cry with her because it hurts to hear your

JENI WHITAKER, COLUMINIST friend in pain. Instead, I stayed calm and positive. I drove down to the hospital with another good friend to offer our support. I ended up taking Pam’s younger son home and keeping him until her mom came home.

The next day was a lot of tests and waiting. I visited and played cards with her son and tried to make her, her husband, and family laugh as much as possible. I felt so helpless, and I just wanted to make it better, but I couldn’t.

Saturday was the day of surgery, and of course it got delayed. So in the midst of 12

hours of waiting, I talked to Pam, tried to keep her occupied and reassure her as much as I could. As I was doing this hundreds of other people were praying, sending positive thoughts, stopping by the hospital, raising money, and offering assistance. I have never been so overcome with emotion to see the support of others for my dear friend. It made me realize how much good there is in others.

The following days were rough in the ICU. I was there every day but one. Thankfully, Alex likes me, and I was able to make him laugh and smile, and he would always chat with me. I have never been more thrilled to see a child smile.

One week after his surgery, I took my sons to visit him. He lit up like a Christmas tree. He was just happy to see his friends instead of old people like me. Tomorrow, I am

Letters to the Editor Reader says spiritual problems cause financial ones Dear Editor, Concerning your April 18, 2010 issue, ‘Reader says speak up when dealing with politics’ I don’t always agree with Sam Talley (he’s a little too liberal for me) but this time he was right on target.

As a member of the pro-life rescue movement in the late 1980’s and into the 90’s, we experienced the same kind of discrimination that is currently being done to the Tea Party Movement. Our peaceful and prayerful sit-ins at the killing chambers known euphemistically as ‘clinics’ were characterized as terrorist acts against women, rather than civil rights actions to save unborn babies. Our demonstrations, too, were infiltrated by by pro-aborts, radical feminists, atheists, homosexuals, etc., assaulting, screaming at, and cursing men, women and children. These vulgar people were shown on TV with a voice over that went something like this: ‘Things turned ugly down at the abortion clinic today as pro-life

demonstrators...’ More prolifers, including pastors, preachers, priests, rabbis, doctors and nurses were arrested during this time than in all civil rights movement of the 1960’s combined. Yet, we who simply wanted to defend the unborn child's inalienable, God given, right to life, were consistently maligned on the TV, radio, and in printed media. Our saving of hundreds of babies was ignored, our religious beliefs mocked, our appeals to lawmakers to uphold the right to life unheeded. In the end, the 1994 ‘Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act’ was passed by Congress and signed by Bill Clinton under the guise of ‘stopping clinic violence’. this kind of discrimination worked against the pro-life movement in the past and is still in operation today. Did anyone hear about the massive numbers of pro-lifers that braved snow and ice storms to march in Washington, D.C. on Jan. 22, 2010? A crowd estimate of 300,000 to 400,000

If that had been a group of peaceful environmentalist, anti-gun activists or even same sex marriage proponents, we’d still be hearing about their dedication to their ‘noble’ cause.

Pro-lifers are mischaracterized as ‘anti-choice’.

Supporting a woman’s ‘right to choose’ may sound benevolent, but not when she is choosing to kill her child so that she may live as she wishes. Because of Americans’ refusal to require their leaders to defend the innocent, the slaughter continues. Over 50 million killed since 1973.

That's a lot of taxpayers. Both Biblically and historically it can be seen that God judges nations who shed innocent blood (II Kings, chapter 24) America’s problems are spiritual not financial. We

bringing him my lasagna he requested since I make the “goodest lasagna ever” in his personal opinion. He gets better and stronger every single day.

However, the main lesson I have learned is that I would have done anything this family asked me to these last two weeks. Cleaning, babysitting, calling people, picking stuff up, visiting, etc. That’s the easy stuff. The hard stuff was talking frankly to my friend and listening to her talk about her concerns and fears. We laughed, cried, vented, and everything in between. The most awesome thing to me was when I myself had a bad day, and she took two minutes out of her time to get me out of my bad mood. Even though she is stressed out and has a million things on her mind, I was still a priority. That’s what a real friend does.

pointed in my fellow church members - the Baptists, the Methodists, the United Presbyterians, the Churches of Christ, the Pentecostals, the Assemblies of God, the Episcopal Churches, the Lutherans, the Disciples of Christ, the United CHurch of Christ ... and on ... and on. A stained glass warehouse does not a church make. The only thing that makes a church, any church, a viable representative of Jesus Christ is love and compassion and a willingness to reach out to those in need.

Theology doesn’t mean a thing ... doctrine doesn’t mean a thing ... the music program doesn’t mean a thing ... the youth group doesn’t mean a thing ... the Sunday School doesn’t mean a thing ... if the church does not open itself up to aid those who are most afflicted in the community.

It’s time for the church to practice some radical Christianity by becoming willing to show some radical love ... call it ‘radical discipleship’. Anything less just ain’t Christianity! Let’s get back to the way it ought to be and practice being like Jesus!

Time is growing short people.

have financial problems because we are being judged

by God. We are losing our freedoms under this administration faster than ever before, because ‘those who refuse to be governed by God will be ruled by tyrants’ - William Penn. In David Barton's book, ‘Original Intent’ are many quotes from our founding fathers, telling us what to look for in choosing a candidate. many of them quote directly from the Bible in Exodus 18:21. Our leaders should be men ‘who rule in the fear of God, able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness’. Penman and signer of our U.S. Constitution, Gouverneur Morris warned against the exclusion of religious principles from society.

He warned that refusal to elect moral leaders would be disastrous because ‘Placed in a situation where they can exercise authority for their own emolument, they betray their trust. They take bribes. they sell statutes and decrees.

They sell honor and office.

They sell their conscience.

They sell their country.’

Dear Editor, There is nothing any more stupid and irritating than a bunch of church people sitting around in their complacent piosity, talking about how righteous they are, and ignoring the hurt, lonely, poor, and dispossessed. there is nothing any more problematic than a bunch of so-called Christians presenting themselves as having all the answers and then turning their backs on the people looking for the answers.

The more I see and hear regarding the institutionalized church, in all of its sundry denominational and nondenominational forms, the more I’ve realized that only too often we’re into playing religious games that have no real meaning. We give lip service to the idea of God and we sing songs about Jesus and say we love Him, and yet we pretend ... only pretend ... to give a d*** about the people with real problems. We hide behind the sanctimonious. We dress up in our Sunday costumes and parade around looking the part that we think we ought to be playing, and it means so very little in the context of the larger world and those who are dying without much, if any, hope.

I’m hearing more about certain churches turning people away ... the hungry, the hurt, the dispossessed, those on the fringe of society ... and for this I’m extremely disap-

Three Democratic Primary candidates run for Second District U.S. House seat Two candidates ran previously for seat, third is newcomer to politics The Brown County Press

CMYK

One ran in two former Primary Election campaigns for Congress as a Democrat, and another ran for Congress as an Independent candidate in 2008.

The third and youngest person is a former contestant who got fired on mogul Donald Trump’s “The Apprentice” reality television show.

The three men are the candidates running in the 2010 Democratic Party Primary Election for the U.S. House of Representatives seat in Ohio’s Second Congressional District, which covers all of Brown, Adams, Clermont, and Pike counties and portions of Hamilton, Scioto, and Warren counties.

Jim Parker, 42, of Waverly, was a candidate in the Democratic Party’s Special Primary Election for the Second District Seat in 2005 and that party’s Regular Primary Election for that seat in 2006. Parker finished fourth in 2005 and third in 2006 in that Democratic Party competition.

David Krikorian, 41, of Madeira, ran as an Independent candidate for the Second District seat in 2008. Krikorian won five precincts in Brown County, but Republican incumbent Jean Schmidt carried both the county and the Second District.

Surya Yalamanchili, 28, is making his first run for Congress.

A former candidate on “The Apprentice”, Yalamanchili has received endorsements in his race from Paul Hackett, who was the Democrats’ Second District candidate in the 2005 Special Election, and Victoria Wulsin, who was the Democrats’ Second District candidate in the 2006 and 2008 General Elections. Schmidt won all three of those races and

is seeking a third complete twoterm term in the U.S. House.

Each of the three Democratic Party Primary candidates’ responses to The Brown County Press’ survey are as follow. *** Jim Parker: 1. Why are you running for the U.S. House? I believe in the people of Ohio. I believe that the right elected official can go to Washington to try to improve other people’s lives. I know I am the best person to serve you in Congress and would be honored to have the opportunity.

2. What do you feel qualifies you for this office? During the past five years I have knocked on the doors of thousands of people who live and raise their families in Southern Ohio. I’ve spent my life working in healthcare, a place where we put our political differences aside and focus on an objective every single day – the improvement of other people’s lives.

3. What do you think are the three most important issues facing the Second Congressional District today?

The economy.

The cost of healthcare.

Taking the money out of the political decision making process. Too many times the candidate with the most money wins, and that is why we have so many of the wrong type of people in Washington (D.C.) right now. I don’t care about money. I care about you. *** David Krikorian: 1. Why are you running for the U.S. House? I am running to make a difference in the lives of my children and yours so that they have the same standard of living and opportunities that we did growing up.

2. What do you feel qualifies you for this office?

ness. I have started and run successful small companies in different sectors, creating dozens of jobs. I have a master’s degree in business and a strong track record of leadership. Most of all I’m a creative problem solver, and I will work to help our local and national economy recover from this economic downturn.

3. What do you think are the three most important issues facing the Second Congressional District today?

Jobs and the economy are the single biggest issues facing our district. Brown County has experienced a sharp rise in unemployment over the past few years, and for many people job opportunities are scarce.

Financial and government reform are also big issues that we must address in an honest and straightforward way. *** Surya Yalamanchili: 1. Why are you running for the U.S. House? I’m running for Congress because the middle class has been devastated over the past decade. As our government has all but encouraged jobs to go overseas, and we’ve destroyed our manufacturing base.

2. What do you feel qualifies you for this office? I’m a political outsider who has excelled in the business world.

That’s what we need in Washington today. I was one of the youngest brand managers ever at Procter and Gamble – P&G is a company that is built on teamwork, a respect for shared values, and strong leadership. It was an incredible training ground, and (Washington,) D.C. needs a dose of those skills badly.

4. What do you think are the three most important issues facing the Second Congressional District today?

The most important issue facing the Second District is jobs. I feel it is Issue 1, 2 and 3. We must create the policies that allow American employees to compete.

The bond program became part of the Ohio Third Frontier economic development program to create and preserve jobs. The Ohio Third Frontier seeks to promote investments to support technology areas that represent economic growth for Ohio particularly in energy, biomedical, advanced materials, electronics and advanced propulsion.

Supporters claim approval of Issue 1 will provide research and development leading to new jobs that: • Save lives through advances in medicine. independence • Promote from foreign oil through green and advanced energy projects.

• Develop better and more innovative projects for consumers through advanced materials design.

Brown County voters may decide on two statewide ballot issues during the Primary Election this Tuesday, May 4.

Issue 1 extends the Ohio Third Frontier Program by authorizing the issuance of additional general growth obligation bonds to promote economic growth.

Issue 2 is a follow-up to a constitutional amendment adopted by Ohio voters this past Nov. 3 to allow for the placing of one casino in each of Ohio’s four most-populous cities – Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, and Toledo – and the distribution of a tax on those casinos to all 88 Ohio counties.

Issue 2 would authorize a change in the location of the Columbus casino facility that was approved by voters this past November.

Issue 1 Explained Issue 1 is connected to an amendment voters approved to the Ohio Constitution in 2005 to authorize general obligation bonds to fund research and

ed Issue 1 would allow for an additional $700 million in state bonds (state debt) to be issued over four years in addition to what is left under the current program.

The debt will need to be repaid from future state budgets costing already strapped state budgets millions of dollars each year, according to the opposing argument, mentioning that debt “is money Ohio doesn’t have and can’t afford”.

Issue 2 Explained The proposed Issue 2 amendment before voters this coming Tuesday states it would: “Change the location of the Columbus area casino authorized by statewide vote at the November 2009 General Election from the area known as ‘The Arena District’ to the site of a former General Motors/Delphi Corporation manufacturing plant. The amendment makes no change regarding any other casino authorized by the previous statewide vote.”

Brown County voters may choose either “yes” or “no” to the question as to whether either proposed amendment – Issue 1 or Issue 2 – shall be adopted.

Brown County’s 18th National Day of Prayer Observance set for Thursday

BY Wayne Boblitt The Brown County Press Brown County’s 18th Observance of the National Day of Prayer is scheduled this Thursday, May 6, in Georgetown.

Activities will include a prayer around the Brown County Administration Building flagpole at noon led by Brown County Auditor Doug Green and a program that evening at the Courthouse Square in downtown Georgetown.

Marsha Mundy of Bethel and Linda O’Hara of the Hamersville area are co-chairwomen of this year’s Brown County NDP Observance Task Force.

Mundy reported this year’s national theme is “Prayer For Such A Time As This” and key Bible verse is Nahum 1:7: “The Lord is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and He knoweth them that trust in Him.” Prayer Canopy Planned Mundy said a new event this year will be the setting up of a canopy on the Brown County Courthouse lawn where people may stop and ask Christians staffing the canopy to pray for their needs.

Requested prayer needs which are written down will be placed into a box, and those

gathered at the Courthouse Square service will pray for them as well. Mundy said she hopes those gathered will take some of the written requests home and continue praying for them.

She said there are a lot of needs to pray about including people who don’t have jobs in the current economy. She said the canopy may open around noon to serve people with needs.

The Courthouse Square Prayer Service activities will begin at 6:30 p.m. with praise music performed by a band from the Living Church of Five Mile in Green Township with the main service to begin about 7 p.m. Other special music slated that night will be by well-known Brown County vocalist Harriett Jackson Groh and a choir from Still Waters Mennonite Church in Franklin Township.

Mundy said this is the first year that praise band and that choir have participated in the NDP Observance.

Brown County Chamber of Commerce director Ray Becraft will pray the “Prayer For The Nation” that was composed by Rev. Franklin Graham, honorary NDP chairman and son of famed evangelist Billy Graham.

The prayer will be printed, and those attended will be invited to read and pray the prayer along

with Becraft.

Georgetown-area resident Thomas Turner will lead those gathered in the singing of “The Star-Spangled Banner”.

“Centers” Prayers Planned Prayer will be offered for “the seven centers of power” in the United States. Those scheduled to lead the prayers are as follow: • Brown County Commissioner Margery Paeltz for government leaders.

• The Rev. David Eversole, of Georgetown pastor Presbyterian Church, for churches.

• Former Brown County NDP Observance Task Force Co-Chairpersons Andy and Millie Fain for area educators.

• Pregnancy Resource Center of Brown County Executive Director Tamma Plymesser for families.

• Newspaper publisher Steve Triplett for those working in the media such as newspapers, magazines, and radio and television stations.

• Small business owner Jim Tolin for area businesses.

Another feature of the Annual NDP Observance is the mass reading by those gathered of different sections of the Holy Bible in an effort for all the Bible to be read out loud in 15 minutes.

O’Hara is scheduled to lead that event, and each person reading a different assigned section of the Bible is supposed to read for 15 minutes. Mundy said that activity is scheduled to begin at approximately 7:30 p.m.

Largest Crowd Is Desired Mundy said she wants a large crowd to show up in Georgetown this Thursday night to show their support for the idea of citizens being able to gather to pray for the United States.

“I would like to see a bigger turnout than we ever have had – that’s what I am praying for,” she commented.

DYING WITHOUT A WILL When a person dies, the distribution of the estate will be decided in one of two ways - his way or the state’s way. The choice is up to the individual.

If a person has prepared a vaild will, it will be used to determine appropriate distribution of the estate. If a person has not prepared a valid will, he or she is said to have died intestate. In cases of intestacy where there are heirs, the states have law which legislators have contrived in an effort to surmise how persons might have chosen to divide their worldly goods; if only they had written a will. In essence, if you don’t write a will, the state has written one for you.

The problem is that the legislature has one law to cover all intestacies and most likely will not have anticipated your exact

wishes. In addition, in cases of intestacy where there are no heirs, the estate will eventually revert to the state government.

HOW MUCH LONGER? PART II Last week I told you to read Zechariah 12. Jerusalem is mentioned 30 plus times in the book of Zechariah. Zechariah 12 has to do with Matthew 24. Look at verses 2-3 of Zechariah 12: “Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem. And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.” This is not when a new president or anyone else will intervene. This is when God Almighty will intervene! Last week I said it was speaking of Jesus in the book of Zechariah. Read verse 10 of chapter 12: “And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced...”.

Chapter 13 verse 6: “And one shall say unto him, What are these wounds in thine hands? Then he shall answer, Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.” He is known by the nail scars in His hands! No doubt, Jesus is coming again! What are the signs of His coming? These earthquakes, these tsunamis, these waves that roar and roll as fast as a jetliner are all signs of His coming. They say that when those waves first began they were over 100 feet tall. We are probably going to see more of that kind of thing; and probably more in the southern hemisphere as this earth keeps moving around. Down below our feet is about one million, trillion tons of molten iron.

That inner core is moving around and generating a tremendous amount of electricity. This electricity goes out one poll, circles the globe completely, and forms a magnetic shield which protects this earth from flying objects in space. Then it comes back in.

That is why your compass points north. When that tsunami hit over there in Indonesia, the people of NASA said that the North Pole moved one inch. We think that we are secure but we are sitting on an earth that is shifting quite a bit.

Nova came out with an hour long program saying that the scientists are saying that the earth is going to shift and the entire polarity sys-

DR. CHARLES SMITH MT. ORAB BIBLE BAPTIST CHURCH www.bbcmtorab.com tem is going to change. A few years ago the New York Times said that one day the compass will point south. The main movement is in the southern part of the earth where Indonesia, Chile, and Mexico are located. Have you heard of any earthquakes down there recently? The earthquakes are the legacy of all that molten movement. It shakes the outer shell and one day it will completely reverse. Ladies and gentlemen, I am simply saying that we are a lot closer to what Jesus said than anyone else before. We are not talking about prophecy concerning morals such as children being disobedient to parents.

Or as it was in the days of Lot in the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah when there were homosexuals everywhere. I am talking about the weather conditions and the earthquakes which Jesus was talking about. Let me name just a few of the recent ones: 7.7 N. Sumatra, Indonesia 4/6/10; 7.2 Baja Calf., Mexico 4/4/10; 6.5 offshore N. Calf. USA 3/16/10; 6.7 BIO-BIO, Chile 3/16/10; 6.5 near E. coast of Honsha, Japan 3/14/10; Libertador O Higgins, Chile 3/11/10; 6.1 Eastern Turkey 3/8/10; 6.8 S. Sumatra, Indonesia 3/5/10; 6.6 Chile 3/5/10; 7.0 Haiti region 1/12/10; and 8.8 Maule, Chile 2/27/10! There has not been one like this 8.8 earthquake in 200 years. And as I said these are just a few of the recent ones. I suppose we should consider that God may be letting us know that He is in charge. And I also think that now is a good time to be thinking about God. The disciples said: Show us a sign of your coming and of the end of the world. I believe that these earthquakes in diverse places are a sign. How much longer do you have to reject God? I do not know.

Seismic Steve with Mad Science presenting Rockin' Rockets to the 6-8 Warrior PRIDE club.

March Mad Science at Eastern School District The Eastern School District’s Warrior PRIDE program had the pleasure of hosting the Mad Scientists from Loveland, OH on March 9, 17, and 25. Seismic Steve, BTU Barb, and Dr. DNA traveled to Eastern Middle School to present “Fire and Ice” to RES and SES Warrior PRIDE students and “Rockin’ Rockets” to EMS Warrior PRIDE students. The 1 hour Mad Science programs were inquiry-based, engaging science programs that made science exciting!

Fire and Ice was sizzlin’ excitement! The 3-5th and k-2nd Warrior PRIDE students enjoyed safe and scientific fun with fire and ice! The students learned about the amazing properties of fire and combustion.

Then they cooled off with spectacular demonstrations involving dry ice! BTU Barb and Dr. DNA demonstrated the “Big Burp”, the “Screwdriver Sizzle” and the famous “Mad Science Bath”, as they explored the science behind this amazing frozen

gas.

The Rockin’ Rockets assembly took to the skies as this introduction to rocketry. Seismic Steve explained how and why rockets fly. The Warrior PRIDE club members witnessed real model rocket launches that soared several hundreds of feet into the air and deployed parachutes for their return. The kids were thrilled with the show and learned that you can make rockets out of simple things such as tea bags! The overwhelming comment was, “Rockin’ Rockets was so cool!”

All of the Mad Science shows provided live, interactive and compelling educational experiences that made science and learning a blast! These programs were provided to Warrior PRIDE students through our 21st Century Community Learning Center grant with the Ohio Department of Education, Janie Day is the grant coordinator for the Eastern School District.

The Brown County Press - Sunday, May 2, 2010 - Page 9

Seven ballots are available to voters in Primary Election

Voters have the choice of seven different ballots in which to choose candidates during the 2010 Primary Election in Brown County this Tuesday, May 4.

Brown County Board of Elections Director Sue McIntosh, who has held that post for 19 years and worked for BCBE for 20 years, said that is the largest number of ballots in a Primary Election she knows about in at least 20 years.

Voters have the opportunity this Tuesday to declare their affiliation, and thus receive a ballot, to vote in the Democratic Party, the Republican Party, or four minor political parties: Constitution, Green, Libertarian, and Socialist.

Voters who don’t wish to declare a political party affiliation and vote for candidates this Tuesday may request an Issues Ballot and vote only on two statewide ballot issues and one countywide ballot issue.

Voters in Aberdeen and a small portion of Perry Township also have some local issues on the ballot this Tuesday. The statewide, countywide and local issues will be discussed in separate stories in this week’s edition of The Brown County Press.

Two federal legislative races will be on some ballots this Tuesday – U.S. senator from Ohio and U.S. representative from Ohio’s Second Congressional District.

Five state executive, one state legislative and five state judicial races also will be on some ballots this Tuesday.

The executive races, all of which are statewide, are for Ohio governor/lieutenant governor (a pair of candidates who run together on a ticket rather than separately), attorney general, secretary of state, state treasurer and auditor of state.

The legislative race is for state representative from Ohio’s 88th House District.

The judicial races include three statewide races for the Ohio Supreme Court and two that are not statewide for the Ohio 12th District Court of Appeals, which is based in Middletown and encompasses Brown, Butler, Clermont, Clinton, Fayette, Madison, Preble, and Warren counties.

Two races for Brown County officials will be on the ballot: county auditor and one of the three Brown County commissioner seats.

Statewide or local races for party officials also are on

some ballots this coming Tuesday. They include State Central Committee members in three parties and Brown County Republican Central Committee members in 26 of the county’s precincts (with no candidate filing in five different precincts and another candidate withdrawing in a sixth precinct).

Some races have only one candidate this Tuesday and thus have no opposition, but some of those same races will have opposition from candidates in other parties during the Brown County General Election, which will be held Tuesday, Nov. 2.

Primary Election races that have two or more candidates this coming Tuesday are indicated by an asterisk in this story.

Two Federal Office Races Federal races on the ballot this Tuesday are as follow: • U.S. senator: *Democratic Party: Jennifer Brunner, Lee Fisher.

Republican Party: Rob Portman.

W. Constitution: Eric Deaton.

Socialist: Daniel H. Labotz.

• U.S. representative from Ohio’s Second Congressional District (which includes all of Brown, Adams, Clermont, and Pike counties and portions of Hamilton, Scioto, and Warren counties): *Democratic Party: David H. Krikorian, Jim Parker, Surya Yalamanchili. *Republican Party: Debbi Alsfelder, C. Michael Kilburn, Tim Martz, Jean Schmidt.

Libertarian: Marc Johnston.

Eleven State Office Races State races on the ballot this Tuesday are as follow: • Ohio governor/lieutenant governor (with governor candidate’s name mentioned first): Democratic Party: Ted Strickland/Yvette McGee Brown.

Party: John Republican Kasich/Mary Taylor.

Green Party: Dennis S. Spisak/Anita Rios.

Libertarian Party: Ken Matesz/Margaret Ann Leech.

• Ohio attorney general: Democratic Party: Richard Cordray.

Republican Party: Mike DeWine.

Jennifer Wiederhold from the Fayetteville FFA chapter was recognized as a participant in the 2010 Risk Management Essay Contest, where she was rewarded with a silver National FFA medal.

With the phase-out and eventual elimination of federal farm price and income supports, it is critical that today’s students and farm operators become aware of the new risk environment in production of agriculture and develop an understanding of how to manage risk. This essay contest is offered to stimulate today’s agriculture students’ interest in, knowledge of and successful selection and use of risk management tools. In addition, the contest provides a way to recognize students who have developed their communication skills and can effectively share key information regarding implementing risk management tools.

The contest is offered by the National FFA Organization in partnership with the Risk Management Agency, United States

Volunteers from six states return to church they helped build last year

BY Wayne Boblitt The Brown County Press

An estimated 170 people attended the Dedication Ceremony for the new Hamersville Baptist Church on April 18, nearly three months after its first Worship Service was held Jan. 24.

The new church at 1661 State 125 in Clark Township is an addition to the old church at that location and is about three times as large as the old building.

Capacity Greatly Enlarged The Rev. Lloyd Hopper of Bethel is HBC pastor, and he reported the new church has a seating capacity of 272 (not counting the choir loft area) while the vacated sanctuary could seat only about 100.

Those attending the Dedication Ceremony included some volunteer laborers from six other states who helped HBC members construct the new facility this past year.

Four youths sang solo selections and an adult choir performed two songs as part of the celebration.

Hopper thanked the volunteers, both those from out of state and those locally, who had helped build the new church this past year. “The sacrifices you guys made made this available to us this morning.”

He said he appreciated each of the volunteers and the long days each had labored.

Out-Of-State Visitors Speak Representatives of three outof-state groups who assisted on the venture spoke during the Dedication. The first was David

Tidwell, project chairman with Carpenters For Christ, a ministry based in Attalla, Ala., that sends volunteer teams to construct new Southern Baptist churches or church additions in various states.

“They talk about what a sacrifice it was on our part, but it is a privilege,” he told the HBC congregation.

In an interview following the Dedication, Tidwell said about 116 volunteers from nine states worked with Carpenters For Christ last year on the new church.

The next speaker, Bill Kelly of Kinston, N.C., is coordinator of Handymen For Christ, a group from North Carolina that undertook drywall work at the new church.

He mentioned how some people “don’t realize the blessings we get out of going out to help people”.

Six people from a Handyman Ministry in a North Carolina church had come up last year to help paint the new church, and ministry representative Sheldon Anderson of Pink Hill, N.C., said they spent three days at that work with the volunteers going through 90 gallons of paint the first day.

Pastor Thanks God Hopper put the whole day’s celebration into perspective by proclaiming, “We have to give God the thanks for everything that has happened.”

He said since the new church opened in January, he has baptized 17 new members and two more people were scheduled to be baptized April 25.

speaker was the Rev. David Coppedge, director of Missions for the Southern Hills Baptist Association.

“Pastor Hopper, I hope you see the day when there is in season preaching in the village of Hamersville,” the guest preacher told the pastor.

He urged his listeners to pray for their pastor and for their church as a whole that both Hopper and the church would be faithful to God. Coppedge said a priority of HBC and other churches who serve Jesus Christ is to proclaim to others the “Blessed Hope” concerning Jesus Christ’s Second Coming to the Earth as predicted by the Holy Bible.

Dedication Prayer Offered At the end of the Morning Worship Service, Hopper asked all men in the congregation who either were ordained ministers or deacons to come forward and line up across the front of the church. The pastor then asked the others in the church to come up, and Coppedge offered the Dedication Prayer for the new building.

He thanked God for making the new church possible and thanked God for “those who have given sacrificially”.

Anyone wanting further information about HBC may contact Hopper at (937) 3792230 or (513) 734-3552.

Humane Society changes meeting day The Brown County Humane Society will meet the second Tuesday of each month starting in May. The change is made to accommodate the schedules of many members.

The Tuesday, May 11, meeting will be held at 7:30 p.m. at the ABCAP building (old Alverda Reed School) on Plum Street, West Georgetown.

The Saturday adoption program – from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

– is doing well. Everyone is invited to stop at the Brown County Animal Shelter to see the newly homeless dogs and pups and to, perhaps, find a new friend.

Brown County The Humane Society plans an active summer of activities and invites you to join. Many of the dogs are “rescued” by other organizations that are better able to place them in new homes. Some of those dogs travel long distances and drivers for the first “leg” of the trip are very much needed.

If you can volunteer your time and your vehicle to help get a dog to his new home, call the Brown County Humane Society at 378-2210.

Two Republican candidates are seeking their party’s nomination for Ohio state auditor in the Primary Election scheduled this Tuesday, May 4.

State Rep. Seth Morgan, 32, of Huber Heights, is challenging Delaware County Prosecuting Attorney Dave Yost, 53.

Yost, a resident of Delaware County’s Delaware Township in the Columbus suburbs, has received the endorsement of the Ohio Republican Party State Central and Executive Committee.

Brown County Republican Party Central Committee members voted at a meeting on Feb. 11 to endorse Morgan, however, for the state auditor nomination rather than Yost.

Morgan recently returned a questionnaire about his race sent out by The Brown County Press while Yost did not.

Morgan’s responses follow as well as comments Yost made

to Brown County Republicans at their Feb. 11 meeting.

Morgan Answers Questions 1. Why are you running for Ohio state auditor? Ohio has an opportunity to carry on the new bar of professionalism that Mary Taylor, our first Certified Public Accountant auditor, has set. Ohio needs an auditor that is not a slave to a political party or politician.

My record is one of challenging the status quo. Auditors should be objective and independent enough to expose the truth. I believe my experience and credentials best meet these criteria.

2. What do you feel qualifies you for this office? As a CPA, I understand the importance of the differences between a balance sheet and income statement. I understand how to run an efficient audit and the importance of risk assessments.

As a former city council member and current state representative, I understand both local and state finance and have

a proven willingness to stand up to both parties when necessary to protect the public.

3. What do you think are the three most important issues facing the Second Congressional District today?

Ohio is is significant financial trouble. We face a probable $810 billion upcoming budget deficit.

The current structural deficit we face is a reflection of the failed leadership in Ohio, and utilizing one-time federal bailout funds to technically balance Ohio’s budget. This is the backdrop of growing unemployment.

Fixing unemployment and budget problems, we must have a government that is open for business. Today our regulations are stifling growth, and our tax load is one of the highest in the nation.

Fixing Ohio’s financial trouble will be the outcome of a return to a robust Ohio economy.

Yost Was A County Auditor Yost served as Delaware County’s auditor from 1999 to 2003 and is serving his second term as that county’s prosecuting attorney.

He originally was going to run in the Republican Party Primary Election for Ohio attorney general, but switched to the auditor’s race. Former U.S. Sen. Michael DeWine of Cedarville is now the unopposed attorney general candidate in the Republican Party Primary Election.

Yost said it was important for the Republicans to keep the auditor’s seat. The auditor is one of five people who will sit on the Ohio Apportionment Board who will decide how the 33 Ohio Senate and 99 Ohio House of Representatives legislative districts will be carved out following the results of the 2010 U.S. Census.

Ohio’s governor, secretary of state, and state auditor sit on that board. The other two members include a member selected by the Speaker of the Ohio House of Representatives and the senate leader of the same party (who currently would be Democrats) and a member selected by the House and Senate leaders of the other party (who currently would be Republicans).

The selection of two members representing each party from the two legislative chambers assures that at least one of the five Ohio Apportionment Board members is from each major political party.

Democrats currently outnumber Republicans 3-2 on that board as the present governor and secretary of state are Democrats.

Two candidates in Republican primary for secretary of state

BY Wayne Boblitt The Brown County Press

Two Republican candidates are seeking their party’s nomination for Ohio secretary of state in the Primary Election scheduled this Tuesday, May 4.

Ohio State Sen. Jon Husted, 42, of Kettering, is challenging Sandra O’Brien, 58, of Ashtabula County for the Republican Party nomination for Ohio secretary of state to battle Democrat Maryellen O’Shaughnessy in the General Election this fall.

Husted is a former Speaker of the Ohio House of Representatives. O’Brien was the Republican Party nominee for Ohio state treasurer in the 2006 General Election, but was defeated by Democrat Richard Cordray (who later became Ohio attorney general).

Both candidates responded to questionnaires sent by The Brown County Press. While Husted’s responses were paired with the specific questions asked, O’Brien’s were placed together in a paragraphed narrative.

The candidates’ responses as submitted to The Brown County Press are as follow: *** Jon Husted: 1. Why are you running for Ohio secretary of state?

Confidence in Ohio’s system of elections has been compromised in the past, and to restore trust in government, we must restore trust in the system that elects it.

It is critical that we have a leader who can oversee fair elections and serve as a partner with our boards of elections to ensure the integrity of our democratic process.

2. What do you feel qualifies you for this office? I have served honorably as Speaker of the House and in the Ohio Senate and in these roles I have been involved in campaign finance and election reforms that impact the Office of Secretary of State and Ohio’s system of elections.

3. What do you think are the three most important issues facing the Second Congressional District today? Economy: Ohio’s economy and the failure to reform our regulatory and economic development efforts to become more attractive to businesses that create the jobs Ohioans need.

Budget: Ohio will face a $78 billion budget shortfall. We

have an Unemployment Compensation system that is $3 billion in the red and four pension plans that are going broke.

Education: Ohio’s new system of school funding is worse, not better, and Ohioans need access to job training and education if they are to get the kind of jobs that pay enough to take care of their families. *** Sandra O’Brien: I, Sandra O’Brien, am a Republican candidate for secretary of state. As Ohio’s chief elections officer, my goal will be to protect the integrity and security of the election process from voter registration to casting of ballots to counting of ballots.

Ohio’s election laws are governed by the Ohio Revised Code. I intend to make sure that such laws are enforced.

As secretary of state I will give all 88 bipartisan County Boards of Elections the support necessary to ensure fair elections. Trying to make one size

fits all does not work in a state as diverse as Ohio.

I will also bring Ohio’s election laws into compliance with federal election law. I began this process last fall when I filed suit against the current secretary of state regarding contribution limits. I was victorious in this suit and see further needs in this area.

The most important issues facing Ohio today are the fact that over the last decade we have gone from having one of the lowest tax burdens to one of the highest with increasing government spending and debt.

Ohio’s unemployment is one of the highest in the nation. We are burdening our businesses with excessive regulation.

These are the reasons businesses, seniors and young people are leaving our state in droves.

Ohioans have lost trust in their elected officials. My opponent has been one of these leaders whose clear record of failure has contributed to our ever-worsening economic decline.

Two Democratic candidates in U.S. Senate Primary race

BY Wayne Boblitt The Brown County Press

Two current elected Ohio state government officials are challenging each in the Democratic Party Primary Election this Tuesday, May 4, for their party’s nomination to run for an open U.S. Senate seat this fall.

Lt. Gov. Lee Fisher is challenging Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner for the nomination this Tuesday. Both were elected to their current state positions in 2006.

Fisher, 58, is a former Ohio attorney general and former member of both the Ohio Senate and the Ohio State House of Representatives.

Brunner, 53, is a former judge on the Franklin County Common Pleas Court and resigned from that position in 2005 to run for Ohio secretary of state.

Whichever Democrat wins this Tuesday will challenge Rob Portman this fall.

Portman. 54, is the unopposed Republican Party nominee for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by two-term Republican U.S. Sen. George Voinovich of Cleveland.

Portman, an attorney from Terrace Park, served in the of U.S. House Representatives from 1993 to 2005 from Ohio’s Second Congressional District, which includes Brown County. He then served as U.S. trade representative and later as director of the U.S. Office of Management and Budget in the administration of former Republican U.S. President George W. Bush.

The Brown County Press sent questionnaires to the campaigns of both Fisher and Brunner, but didn’t receive a response from either. The newspaper didn’t send a questionnaire at this time to Portman since he had no Primary Election opposition.

Anyone who would like further information about any either of the Democratic Party Primary Election U.S. Senate candidates may visit their campaign websites.

Fisher’s is at www.fisher forohio.com while Brunner’s is at www.jenniferbrunner.com.

Portman’s campaign website is at www.robportman.com.

Every year we receive calls about when to prune your Forsythia shrubs. The best time to prune is right after the Forsythia blooms. This is a shrub that blooms on the previous year’s growth, so if you prune Forsythia later in the season, you will be cutting off next year’s blooms!

Cut one-third of the stems back to their base annually.

Remove suckers. To decrease size, laterally prune the tallest branches. Remember that shearing decreases the number of flowers unless the timing is right!

I have a couple Beautyberry shrubs (Callicarpa) and these plants usually die back completely in the winter. This isn’t a problem because the flowers and fruit form on the current year’s growth. I cut the dead stems back completely in spring. New growth will sprout from ground level. These plants

ed mulching depth is 2 to 2.5 inches.

are spectacular in late September and October.

This spring I discovered that my Butterfly Bush (Buddleia) had not suffered its usual winter die back. I still chose to prune it to about 12 inches above ground level. This encourages new growth and plenty of flowers.

There have been springs when I was sure that I was going to have to dig up dead plants, when all of a sudden little shoots start emerging! would Deadheading during the summer will encourage new shoots and extend the blooming period.

It has been a spectacular spring for my daffodils. I have had constant color since the middle of March. As the blooms start to fade, don’t be tempted to cut off the leaves! Remember that the bulbs need to store food for next year’s blossoms!

Boland reported.

Shoppers May Sit and Dine Chairs and tables in an area by the Starbucks Coffee shop will give Marketplace customers an opportunity not only to sit and drink Starbucks’ famous caffeinated beverage, but also to eat hot meals prepared at the Marketplace bistro.

While customers at the current Kroger are able to purchase some hot meals now, there is no seating available.

Malott said the bistro still will offer probably five popular “standards” Kroger customers have enjoyed for years at the current store – fried chicken, corn, mashed potatoes, green beans, and macaroni and cheese.

Boland said the new store will have three chefs on staff, and two will work at the bistro, whose workers also will include line cooks.

In addition to the “standards”, the bistro will include entrees, that could change on a daily basis, such as possibly meat loaf and breaded pork chops. He also said the bistro may have special days in which Mexican, Italian or Chinese cuisine is offered.

The new store also will have a sushi bar offering both fish and vegetable sushi and a Mediterranean bar offering 36 items including a variety of olives, artichoke hearts, marinated mushrooms, roasted red peppers and hummus, accord-

New access road to Kroger expected to open this week

BY Wayne Boblitt The Brown County Press Arriving along with the new Kroger Marketplace this week in Mt. Orab is the new Apple Street West access road to that supermarket.

Mt. Orab Mayor Bruce Lunsford said in an April 28 telephone interview the village was anticipating that road opening to traffic on Tuesday, May 4, two days before the Marketplace opens its door.

The road was constructed across from the current Apple Street, which branches east off of North High Street (U.S. 68) south of Merchants National Bank.

A new bridge was placed over Sterling Run creek west of where the road construction started at North High Street.

Apple Street West continues over that bridge near the area where the Mt. Orab Maintenance Building and the village’s Softball Complex are located, and there is access off the new road to those sites.

The new road continues to Sterling Run Boulevard west of the Wendy’s restaurant and across from the current Kroger store, which closes for good on May 5.

Striping and paving work have been completed on the new road, Lunsford reported

this past Wednesday.

A new traffic signal, which has been flashing at Apple Street West and North High Street, will begin operating as a stop and go signal when the new road opens.

The new road is aimed to relieve traffic congestion at the current access intersection to Kroger at Sterling Run Boulevard and North High Street west of McDonald’s and east of Wendy’s.

In an April 29 telephone interview, Lunsford said he hadn’t heard from Ohio Department of Transportation officials about whether the westbound on ramp off North High Street to SR 32 would be by the Kroger open Marketplace’s opening date.

That ramp has been temporarily closed to traffic because of repair work on a bridge.

Department of Ohio Transportation Information Officer Kathleen Fuller said she had contacted ODOT’s field engineer on that project and been informed there was a “very real possibility” the work would be completed by the end of Wednesday, May 5, meaning the on-ramp could reopen. She said deck work on the bridge has been poured, but the reopening of the westbound on ramp wasn’t a certain thing.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 will offer more than double the space the current store encompasses – about 133,000 square feet compared to about 62,000 square feet. He said it will be the largest store in Kroger’s Cincinnati-Dayton Division when it opens.

For customers who may be overwhelmed with the new store’s size, Malott said seating will be provided at different places where they may rest, and the new store will have more motorized carts than the store that’s closing.

She also said maps of the store will be provided to shoppers.

Malott said the new store has hired about 170 new fulltime and part-time employees, doubling the Mt. Orab Kroger workforce to about 345. That doesn’t include the seven employees of the U.S. Bank Branch, who also will relocate from the current store to the Marketplace.

Boland said the number of checkout lanes staffed by cashiers is increasing from eight to 10 and the number of self-scan checkout stations from four to 12. Those stations are located both north of and south of the checkout lanes.

The Marketplace pharmacy will have two drop-off windows compared to one at the current store and will have extra computers and registers to better serve customers,

ing to Lisa Hyatt, a deli bakery specialist with Empire Food Brokers, which serves Kroger.

Hyatt also reported a cheese shop in the Kroger Marketplace will offer customers 150 to 200 cheeses from all over the world.

New Features Abound The new bath section includes such items as towels, rugs, shower curtains, scales, and lotion pumps while the bed section includes such items as sheets, pillows, and blankets.

The furniture section includes not only such new items as chairs, tables, cabinets, and kitchen carts but also such items for the home as rugs, wall clocks, picture frames, and a variety of framed art work.

A kitchen goods aisle in the back of the store offers such merchandise as skillets, mixers, roasters, tea kettles, cutting boards, baking pans, can openers, beaters and corkscrews.

The new Baby World section includes such items as diapers, car seats, training pants, wipes, toys, baby food, and baby shoes, socks, and clothing.

Two aisles in the front part of the store are stocked with toys and games.

A Wine Cellar area will have an expanded selections of wines, beers, and mixers, Malott reported.

The new Fred Meyer Jewelers store will have a wide variety of jewelry offered for purchase by customers, and also offers on-site watch and jewelry repairs.

The customer service desk in the Marketplace is located between the self-scan stations and Starbucks Coffee in the store’s north end.

While shoppers at the current store travel to the customer service desk to purchase tobacco products, Malott said those products will be in a checkout aisle so tobacco purchasers won’t have to travel so far to obtain those items.

Giveaways Being Offered Boland said the Kroger Marketplace will celebrate its opening this coming Thursday by giving away $10 Kroger gift cards to the first 300 people in line. He said other giveaways are planned the next three days.

The opening celebration also will include a performance by the Western Brown High School marching band at about 7:30 a.m. May 6.

As the long-anticipated opening day approaches, Boland commented, “I think we can be proud to be offering our customers a state of the art facility, and because of their support, we were able to move next door into this facility. We thank them for that support and look forward to serving them in the future.”

They weeded, raked, picked up sticks and overall did a spring clean up around the library Once everything was spruced up, the scouts planted 6 new perennial flowers to give the library some more color, year after year! Thank you to the library for their support! Great job to the Bears!

County voters will decide May 4 whether to raise sales, use taxes CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 decide on May 4 with either a “yes” or a “no” vote states: “The Board of County Commissioners of Brown County adopted resolutions levying an additional one-quarter of 1 percent sales and use tax for the purpose of providing an additional revenue to the County General Fund for a period of five years: Shall the resolutions enacting the one-quarter of 1 percent sales and use tax be repealed?”

Voters who do not support the sales and use tax increase will need to vote “yes” (for repeal) on the ballot question this Tuesday while voters who support the tax increase will need to vote “no” (against repeal).

The commissioners have voted to cut approximately $1 million from the 2010 Brown County Budget’s General Fund compared to what was appropriated in that fund in 2009.

Case For Tax Made In an April 27 telephone interview, Geschwind said the increased taxes are needed to enable Brown County government “ to continue to perform services it now performs” and to provide basic operating costs.

He estimated the county will receive an additional $600,000 starting in 2011 if voters decide this Tuesday to keep the increased tax. Collections wouldn’t begin until this com-

ing October, however, and the county wouldn’t receive its first check for approximately 50 thousand dollars through the state until this coming December.

Geschwind said the commissioners had to take $445,000 of the county’s $450,000 in reserve funds to balance the county’s 2010 Budget and added, “We’re as close to broke as we probably ever have been.”

He said the county could be looking at laying off some employees in 2011 if voters repeal the new .25 percent sales and use tax this Tuesday and mentioned county government would be struggling with its finances next year.

Case Against Tax Made One of the most vocal opponents of the increased sales and use tax is Seth Meranda, an agricultural business owner who lives in Jefferson Township on a farm that extends into Union Township.

In an April 27 telephone interview, Meranda said he just couldn’t see taking an additional $600,000 out of taxpayers’ pockets in the current economy for Brown County government.

He said opponents of the tax kept $300,000 in taxpayers’ pockets by forcing the measure on the ballot, mentioning the amount of additional money the county reportedly would have collected from the sales and use tax increase if enough signa-

tures hadn’t been collected to place the repeal question on the May 4 ballot.

Meranda said some people who signed the ballot measure petition weren’t necessarily in favor of repeal but believed the public should have the right to vote on the matter.

He said in the current tough times “everyone needs to tighten their belts”. He said he wasn’t happy with some county expenditures including some new telephones in the Brown County Courthouse he thought were unnecessary.

The Primary Election polls will be open 6:30 a.m.-7:30 p.m. this coming Tuesday.

Anyone needing further information about the May 4 Primary Election may call the BCBE Office in Georgetown at (937) 378-3008.

Mt. Orab Garden Club to hold plant sale The Mt. Orab Garden Club will be holding a flower and vegetable plant sale for the community on Saturday, May 1, 2010 at the Lions Pavilion, Mt. Orab Village Park. Plants will be very reasonably priced and the sale will be from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.

Gusweiler attorneys file response to Meranda suit CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 pensatory damages against Judge Gusweiler for actions he took in his capacity as a judge”, it reads.

“Such claims are barred by the doctrine of judicial immunity and must be dismissed.”

The repose then addresses the threat of arrest for contempt that Meranda said Gusweiler threatened her with last February.

Meranda had changed the locks to her office and Gusweiler issued a court order demanding a key.

Meranda said Gusweiler told her she would be arrested if she didn’t give him the keys.

Gusweiler’s attorneys said in the response that “As a common pleas court judge, Judge Gusweiler has jurisdiction to order compliance with a court order or be held in contempt.”

The response also cited case law that supports the contention that Gusweiler was acting within his jurisdiction when he made the arrest threat, saying “Judge Gusweiler had jurisdiction for immunity purposes to issue the order and enforce the order, if need be, through a contempt order.”

The response also asserts that “A judge cannot be held civilly liable (sued) for any act

performed as part of his or her judicial function.”

It continues, “Thus Meranda’s claim fails and her demand for monetary relief against Judge Gusweiler must be denied.”

The response also claims that Meranda cannot challenge the validity of the court order demanding the keys because Gusweiler is also immune from being sued for decisions he makes in his capacity as Administrative Judge.

The claim continued, saying Meranda “has failed to allege how Judge Gusweiler’s alleged decision was improper, let alone how it violated” the law or her constitutional rights.

It also cited case law saying “the common pleas clerk of court is required to perform her duties ‘***under the direction of the court***’, thus Judge Gusweiler has authority to direct Meranda’s conduct as court clerk”.

The asterisks were added in the claim for emphasis by the attorneys.

The response then moved to Meranda’s claim of illegal intimidation of her by Gusweiler.

“Meranda must allege that Judge Gusweiler threatened her, in an unlawful way or through a materially false or fraudulent filing, in an attempt

to influence her duties as clerk of court. Further, she must demonstrate she was injured as a result of the commission of the offense.”

The response is claiming she has not done so, therefore “she has failed to sufficiently state a cause of action” and has no claim of damage.

Finally, the response said that Meranda’s request that the court order Judge Gusweiler not to “exceed the scope of his duties” and interfere with her own is too broad an order and not practical or enforceable.

Judge Nurre is not expected to rule on the matter for at least a month.

end delivery services at BCGH and move them to Mercy Hospital Anderson, 30 miles away.

Jackson said that expectant mothers can get better care and have a better delivery experience at Mercy Anderson.

But Patridge said that the care at BCGH is equal to that of Mercy Anderson.

She added that such a move is a hardship for expectant mothers in Brown or Adams County and could even pose a danger.

“Someone who lives in Seaman or Peebles is over an hour away from Anderson. If you have a woman in labor, you could run into an emergency situation in that time that could endanger the lives of the mother and her baby.”

In a press release regarding the closure of the Healthsource OB/GYN office at 5162 State Route 125, Patton said “We have decided to expedite our transition plan to deliver babies at Mercy Hospital Anderson for several reasons.”

The press release continued, saying that Healthsource would continue to operate its Obstetrics/Gynecology practices in Seaman and Batavia, and would soon be expanding those services to Mt. Orab in the next several weeks.

The press release said that Healthsource Drs. Sherry Johnson and Robert Benintendi would continue to see patients at those locations

and that additional doctors are being recruited.

Patients interested in an appointment with Drs. Johnson and Benintendi may call the Healthsource offices in Seaman at (937) 386-1379, Batavia at (513) 732-0870 or Mt. Orab at (937) 444-2514.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 when Pringle left the room and came back with a shotgun.

His wife reportedly fled to her mothers room which was also occupied by her mother and another man. Wenninger said they heard the gunshot as Pringle fired at the officers.

Shortly thereafter, the Pringle entered their room with the gun. The other man grabbed him and held him down until deputies took him into custody.

Deputies found that one round had been discharged through the living room window facing the driveway, apparently from where he had shot at the officers. Another round had been discharged in one of the bedrooms and went

completely through the wall.

Pringle was taken to the Brown County Adult Detention Center and was charged with two counts of felonious assault , two counts of vandalism , Inducing Panic and Domestic Violence with a prior domestic violence conviction. Pringle remains in custody at the Brown County Adult Detention Center.

Hot Broncos down New Richmond in tight SBC game

By Ritchie Butler The Brown County Press The Western Broncos, winners of eight of their last nine games, defeated the visiting New Richmond Lions in a close, 2-1 game.

E V E N

through five innings. Neither team threatened until the Lions got on the board in the top of the fifth frame.

New Richmond took a 1-0 lead in the fifth, scoring one run on one hit, all with two outs.

The Broncos got things going in the sixth. Tory Bauer led off the inning with a single and moved to third via a wild throw and a passed ball. Eric Jamison drove him in with a single through the right side of the infield, knotting the score at 1-1.

“Tory reached on the single and moved around,” said Herrmann. “Jamison did his job and hit an outside pitch the opposite way.”

The Broncos were not finished. Caleb Rieselman reached first after getting plunked by a pitch, moving Jamison to second. Alex Smith entered the game as a

pinch runner, replacing Jamison at second. Two batters later, with two outs, Mitch Hamblen singled. Smith came around from second and beat the throw to the plate, putting the Broncos in front, 2-1.

“Hamblen delivered and Alex did a great job getting to the plate before the tag,” added Herrmann.

The Broncos held the Lions scoreless in the seventh, claiming the exciting 2-1 Southern Buckeye win.

Bauer, Jamison, Rieselman, Hamblen and Jon Walker had one hit each for Western.

Walker picked up the win on the mound. He worked

seven innings, allowing one run, earned, on two hits.

Walker issued three walks and struck out seven.

“Jon was efficient with his pitches,” said Herrmann. “He is getting better and better since coming back from surgery.”

The win lifted Western to 98 overall, 7-4 in the Southern Buckeye Conference.

“We had some growing pains early in the season,” added Herrmann. “But we’re coming together. Our defense has really improved. Matt Partin played an excellent centerfield tonight.”

Eastern’s Derek Souder belted out three hits in the Warriors’ win over Fairfield.

The Eastern Warriors traveled north to battle the Fairfield Lions last Friday and came away with a 16-4 Southern Hills League win.

"Our guys came out focused," said Eastern coach Dave Mignery. "We're getting to the end of the schedule and we can't afford another league loss. We can't come out slow, and we didn't."

The Warriors came out of the gate fast against the Lions, plating five runs in the top of the first. Derek Souder, Cody Kelch and Brandon Carrington each singled in the frame. Kenny Ostrander reached on a fielder's choice and Brandon Koewler had a sacrifice bunt. Daniel Faul also drove in a run in the innings with a ground out.

In the top of the second, Eastern added to its lead with another run. Souder doubled and later scored on a single by

Brett Carrington.

Western Lady Broncos drop Lady 6-5 game to New Richmond Warriors remain perfect in SHL with win over Fairfield

By Ritchie Butler The Brown County Press

The Western Lady Broncos dropped a tight, 6-5 ball game to the visiting New Richmond Lady Lions on Wednesday.

“We didn’t hit real well tonight,” said Western coach Blaine Wallace. “We had some last minute scratches that threw us off.”

New Richmond plated three runs in the first inning on three hits, taking an early 3-0 advantage.

Western answered with a run of its own in the bottom of the frame. Becca Woodruff walked and later scored on a ground out off the bat of Danika Ratcliff. At the end of one, Western trailed 3-1.

The Lady Lions plated a solo run in the third, benefitting from a Lady Broncos error and taking a 4-1 edge.

New Richmond added sin-

gle runs in the fourth and the fifth, extending its lead to 6-1.

The Lady Broncos had one last rally in them. In the bottom of the sixth, Ratcliff walked, followed by a walk by Brittany Palmer. Lexi Frazee was hit by a pitch, loading the bases for Destiny Ryan. The Western right fielder picked up an RBI, compliments of another walk. With the bases still full, Woodruff blasted a shot over the New Richmond centerfielder’s head. Palmer, Frazee and Ryan scored, cutting the Lady Lions’ lead to 65.

But the comeback fell just short as Western went down in order in the bottom of the seventh.

Woodruff, Jeanette Cunningham and Courtney Jackson-Wahl each had one hit for the Lady Broncos.

Ratcliff suffered the loss on the mound. She worked seven

innings, allowing six runs, five earned, on 10 hits.

Ratcliff walked four and fanned seven.

“We’ve tried several different things and nothing seems to work,” said Wallace. “We have a chance to win some games in the tournament, but it depends on which team shows up.”

The loss dropped Western to 6-12 overall, 4-8 in the Southern Buckeye Conference.

After the game, the Lady Broncos honored their outgoing seniors in Cunningham, Jackson-Wahl and Morgan Henry.

“I feel bad for the seniors, especially Morgan, who has been a three-year starter,” said Wallace. “For Jeanette and Courtney, this was the first year they played. I wish they would have been able to play more.”
