Two death penalty cases move forward BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press Two separate death penalty cases stemming from an alleged murder for hire in Aberdeen are moving forward. Evidence of the cases can be seen outside the courthouse in Georgetown where orange lines have been painted on the corners of the building and by the increased security inside. The lines block off the entire East side of the courthouse out past the sidewalk to the parking area. They are intended to warn the public to stay back while 33 year old Joseph Hensley and 70 year old Dallas Tincher are being taken to and from the courthouse and Brown County Jail. Common Pleas Court Judge
Scott Gusweiler issued a court order regarding the lines on Monday. It reads “It is hereby the order of this court that any day a hearing is being held in the within matter there shall be no public access within the designated orange parameters in the rear of the Courthouse.” Anyone violating the prohibited area could face contempt of court charges. Court Administrator Joni Dotson said the lines are there strictly for security reasons. During days that either of the two men are in court, an extra metal detector is stationed outside the courthouse door. Inside the courtroom, two extra deputies will also be present.
Hensley and Tincher appeared before Gusweiler during separate hearings on May 18. It was the first time in court for Hensley with his new appointed attorneys, Bruce Wallace and Nick Ring. Brown County Prosecuting Attorney Jessica Little and Assistant Prosecutor Chris Van Harlingen are representing the State of Ohio in both cases. Hensley pleaded “not guilty” to the charge of aggravated murder for hire. He also agreed to waive his right to a speedy trial by agreeing to have the trial delayed until no later than December 31, 2010. Hensley’s trial is expected to be delayed due to the fact that he is already serving an
eight month jail sentence and the slow nature of death penalty trials. Wallace said that the trial “could start this winter” but could also be delayed until early 2011. It was also revealed in the hearing that the Ohio Attorney Generals office has offered assistance to Little as the cases move forward. Little said she is still assessing what assistance will be needed, and she expected to file a request with the AG’s office by May 21. Procedural issues were also discussed by Gusweiler, who expressed a desire to make sure the trial proceeded as smoothly as possible. Gusweiler also instructed CONTINUED ON PAGE 9

The Brown County Press A 71-year-old Clermont County man has been sentenced to five years in prison on two gross sexual imposition counts in connection with offenses he committed in Brown County against two girls who were younger than 13 at the time. Clarence Barnes, who has a Batavia address, was found guilty by Assigned Judge Alan Corbin on March 24 on one GSI count following a threeday court trial in Brown County Common Pleas Court and then pleaded guilty later that day to another GSI count.
a May 14 hearing to five years in prison on the third-degree GSI count on which he had been found guilty and 18 months in prison on the fourth-degree GSI count to which he had pleaded guilty. The judge ruled the two sentences would run concurrently, meaning Barnes’ prison sentence would be a maximum five years. Trial Testimony Recollected Barnes’ court trial concerned two counts regarding one alleged victim, but Brown County Prosecuting Attorney Jessica Little opted on March 23 to drop one count because CONTINUED ON PAGE 9

BY Wayne Boblitt The Brown County Press A Brown County grand jury has indicted a Mt. Orab man on eight felony counts
including two counts of attempt (murder) with a firearm specification in connection with his alleged shooting at two law enforcement officers on April 26.
The grand jury also issued one misdemeanor count against that suspect and indicted nine other people on 12 felony counts altogether regarding criminal offenses allegedly committed in Brown County. • John H. Pringle, 54, of Mt. Orab, was indicted on
two counts each of attempt (murder) with firearm specification and felonious assault with firearm specification, each of which is a firstdegree felony; a third count of felonious assault with firearm specification with that count being a seconddegree felony; two counts of

vandalism with a firearm specification and one count of inducing panic with a firearm specification, each of which is a fifth-degree felony; and one count of domestic violence with firearm specification, a second-degree misdemeanor. Pringle allegedly on or about this past April 26 purposely engaged in two counts of conduct that, if successful, would have constituted or resulted in the offense of murder. He also allegedly on or about that same date knowingly caused or attempted to cause physical harm to Brown County Sheriff’s Deputy Jerry Crawford and Mt. Orab Police Office Joe Layton by means of a deadly weapon or dangerous ordnance identified as being a shotgun. Regarding the seconddegree felony count of felonious assault, Pringle allegedly on or about this past April 26 caused or attempted to cause physical harm to another person, who was identified as being a family or household member, by means of a deadly weapon or dangerous ordnance identified as being a shotgun. He also allegedly on or about that same date caused serious physical harm to police cruisers owned by the Brown County Sheriff’s Office and the Mt. Orab Police Department with the loss to the value of each of those cruisers being $500 or more. Regarding the domestic violence count, Pringle on or about this past April 26 allegedly caused, by threat of force, a family or household member to believe he would cause imminent physical harm to her. The indictment stated Pringle previously had been convicted in Clermont County Municipal Court on May 18, 1995, of one count of domestic violence, a second-degree misdemeanor. A BCSO press release stated a deputy was dispatched the night of April 26 to 15282 Bodman Road, Mt. Orab, to a domestic violence call involving a weapon. A Mt. Orab police officer responded as backup. Brown County Sheriff Dwayne Wenninger stated when the two officers got to the house, Pringle shot at them with a 12-gauge semiautomatic shotgun. The pellets allegedly shot by Pringle reportedly struck both cruisers used by the officers without injuring either officer. The press release stated Pringle and his wife had been having a verbal argument when he allegedly left the room and came back with a shotgun. His wife allegedly fled to another room which was occupied by her mother and a man. Wenninger reported the three occupants of that room heard the gunshot as Pringle allegedly fired at the two officers. Shortly thereafter the suspect allegedly entered the room where they were at, and the other man reportedly grabbed Pringle and held him down until deputies took him into custody. According to deputies, one round of pellets allegedly had been discharged through the living room facing the driveway, apparently from where he had fired at the officers, and another round allegedly had been discharged in one of that residence’s bedrooms and went completely through the wall. Other indictments included: • Keith E. Fields, 24, whose address was listed as being unknown, was indicted on one count of failure to register a change of address, a first-degree felony. Fields allegedly on or about this past April 4 failed to provide written notice to BCSO at least 20 days prior to changing the address of his residence, school, or institution of higher education during a period in which he was required to register with BCSO, and it was mentioned the most seriously violated sexually-oriented or child victim-oriented offense that was the basis of the registration, notice of intent to reside, change of address notification, or address verification was a first-degree felony rape offense of which he was convicted May 8, 2002, in Clermont County
Juvenile Court. • Donnie J. Morgan, 31, whose address was listed as being unknown, was indicted on one count of failure to register a change of address, a third-degree felony. Morgan allegedly on or about this past March 13 failed to provide written notice to BCSO at least 20 days prior to changing the address of his residence, school, or institution of higher education during a period in which he was required to register with BCSO, and it was mentioned the most seriously violated sexually-oriented or child victim-oriented offense that was the basis of the registration, notice of intent to reside, change of address notification, or address verification was a fourth-degree felony corruption of a minor offense of which he was convicted May 19, 1998, in Clermont County Common Pleas Court. It also was mentioned Morgan had been convicted of or pleaded guilty in Clermont County Common Pleas Court on Dec. 13, 2004, to a third-degree felony count of failure to notify of a change of address. • Darrin D. Bradbury, 21, whose address was listed as being unknown, was indicted on one count of failure to register a change of address, a third-degree felony. Bradbury allegedly on or about this past March 26 failed to provide written notice to BCSO at least 20 days prior to changing the address of his residence, school, or institution of higher education during a period in which he was required to register with BCSO, and it was mentioned the most seriously violated sexually-oriented or child victim-oriented offense that was the basis of the registration, notice of intent to reside, change of address notification, or address verification was a fifth-degree attempt (unlawful sexual conduct with a minor) offense of which he was convicted March 31, 2009, in Clermont County Common Pleas Court. • Brian Lanford, 39, of Cincinnati, was indicted on one count of violating a protection order, a fifth-degree felony. Lanford allegedly on or about Oct. 16, 2009, recklessly violated the terms of an issued protection order or approved consent agreement that had been issued April 7, 2009, by the Hamilton County Common Pleas Court Division of Domestic Relations. The indictment also stated Lanford had been convicted on March 16, 2009, in Hamilton County Municipal Court of violating a protection order. • Anthony M. Richmond, 21, of Dayton, and Roy W. Hill Jr., 20, of Lecanto, Fla., were indicted in separate indictments on one count each of breaking and entering and possessing criminal tools in connection with a break-in at an unoccupied structure in Brown County with which both apparently and allegedly were involved. Richmond and Hill allegedly on or about this past April 27 trespassed by force, stealth or deception in an unoccupied structure identified as being a warehouse with the purpose of committing a theft offense therein. They also allegedly on or about that same date possessed or had under their control substances, devices, instruments, or articles identified as being pry bars, a sledgehammer, ball bats, screwdrivers, other assorted tools, dark clothing, knit caps, gloves, black bandanas, and portable radios with the purpose of using them criminally and with circumstances indicating those items allegedly involved in an offense were intended for use in a felony commission. An indictment means a grand jury found that enough evidence exists that an accused person likely committed the crime(s) with which he or she is charged. An indictment by itself, however, does not mean the person is guilty of a specific crime or crimes or that he or she actually committed a specific crime or crimes.

While Georgetown Police Chief Forrest “Buddy” Coburn commented “it’s real easy to turn a blind eye when we see something wrong happening to someone else,” he added several Georgetown citizens have the courage and civil commitment to become involved when they witness or suspect something illegal is occurring. Such an incident occurred about 4:20 a.m. May 16, Coburn reported, when a local citizen observed three individuals acting in a suspicious manner at the Applegate Car Wash on Mt. Orab Pike in Georgetown. That citizen immediately called the Brown County Communication Center (Enhanced 911) in Georgetown, which dispatched Georgetown police officers Shaun Inlow and Kendall Kumpf. Kumpf responded directly to the scene and determined there had been a break-in at the car
wash building. Inlow observed three people traveling on foot and going away from the general area. Coburn reported when the suspects observed the patrol car, they ran from the area. Inlow immediately began pursuing the suspects, and as he approached the intersection of East North and North Apple streets, he observed a woman in the road waving at him. That woman advised the officer she had observed three subjects run into the bushes. Inlow followed the suspects and reportedly observed a rope swing moving as if it had been pushed. When Inlow checked near it he observed a sewer drain that went under the road and then observed two feet crawling into the sewer. When he looked into the sewer he reportedly observed all three suspects crawling through it. He ordered the suspects out
at gunpoint, and Coburn reported Kumpf arrived about that time to back up Inlow. All three suspects were handcuffed and transported to the Brown County Adult Detention Center in Georgetown to be interviewed. One adult suspect, Joshua Purdin of Love Road, Georgetown, and a 17-year-old juvenile suspect cooperated and gave full confessions as to their part in the crime, according to Coburn. The other adult suspect, James E. Sizemore of Love Road allegedly denied any involvement in the theft and wanted to talk to an attorney. Sizemore had just been released from prison on March 30 on theft-related charges, according to the police chief. Upon Sizemore’s request for an attorney, the interviewing officer ended the questioning. Coburn reported the investigating officers returned to the
scene and met with the car wash owner and processed the crime scene. They observed the video surveillance tape and reportedly were able to see all three suspects entering into the building and taking items from inside after Sizemore allegedly had

Letters to the Editor Reader says BCGH is a lifeline for Brown County Dear Editor, This is a letter written in response to the commentary presented by Dr. Brian Miller concerning the comparisons between Brown County General Hospital (BCGH) and Mercy Anderson Hospital. BCGH never claimed to be what it isn’t. It does not have a Level 2 Nursery or a NICU or 24/7 anesthesia services in house. What it is however, is a lifeline to those people who live 50 or 60 miles away from Mercy Anderson that will not make the more than an hour long drive to safely deliver their baby. We don’t have a Level 2 Nursery, but we do have Board-Certified Pediatricians specially-
trained to manage newborn infants and have done so with exceptional quality for more than 10 years. We don’t have in house anesthesia, but they are available within 15 minutes. Waiting 30 minutes (most often less) for surgical preparation is better than being in a car on the way to Mercy Anderson for 60 minutes or more without any help. BCGH offers the convenience and hometown personal touch for the majority of expectant mothers. For those with known high risks, they are referred appropriately to the Perinatologists in Cincinnati. What Dr. Miller has failed to realize, despite having practiced at BCGH, is
provide the exceptional care to stabilize the mother for possible transfer or deliver the newborn and stabilize them until they can be safely transferred to a facility with a NICU. Both hospitals are necessary and have their own roles in the management of pregnant women in Brown County and the surrounding areas. The quality of care at BCGH meets the level of care required for a Level I hospital and has a vital role in serving the community and the people of this area. Dr. Suzanne Gunter Brown County Regional Health Center-Mt. Orab
BCGH laboratory standing by to provide blood Dear Editor, I am writing in regards to the letter from Dr. Brian Miller. In his letter Dr. Miller states “if any bleeding emergency should arise-most blood products are at least an hour away at Brown County.” To be factually accurate, Brown County General Hospital always has on hand the most commonly used blood products with qualified staff on duty 24 hours per day to meet whatever demand for blood any patient needs. The
volume of products on hand is monitored in conjunction with the Hoxworth Blood Center on a constant basis. Hoxworth Blood Center is the sole supplier of blood products for ALL hospitals in Southwest Ohio, Northern Kentucky and Eastern Indiana. Our laboratory has always strived to provide in a timely manner, the items needed for any scheduled or emergency transfusions. Again, we have trained staff on duty round the clock to make sure blood
Reader says Rhonemus should have been at top Letter to the Editor, First off, we don’t want anyone to think we choose sides or are throwing stones, cause all we know is what we read on the front page of the May 16 Brown County Press, but we feel so sad that in our county and our country these stories are in our newspapers: ‘Father and son gunned down’, ‘Mt. Orab man facing death penalty charged with buying murder’, ‘Two women found dead’, ‘Lawyer says judge is a maniac’, ‘ Charges
dropped against Brown County wildlife officer’. The only bright spot on the front page was about a man of integrity and his death. Mr. Rhonemus was a man that should not be at the bottom of the page, but because of his life and example should be at the top of the page. Al, to you and your family, we say thanks for being a man of integrity and your belief in God. Ken and Bev Kelch Sardinia

that it requires MORE skill, not less, to make proactive decisions to get expectant mothers to higher level care facilities in a timely manner so that their babies are born with the higher level of care that they or their mothers may need. Vaginal deliveries after cesarean section (so-called VBACs) are higher risk procedures that should not be done at a facility such as BCGH, but rather at a facility that can better handle the complications that may arise if that is what the mother prefers. When it is not possible to safely transfer the expectant mother who is having complications, the physicians and nurses at BCGH are there to

Mayor grateful for the help of volunteers Dear Editor, On Saturday May 15, 2010, twelve members of the Church of Christ met at the village cemetery to weed eat and mow the cemetery. This was only one of many projects that the church does to help and give back to our community. The cemetery has never looked better and it was a pleasant surprise for me to see it given the care and respect that it deserves. I would like to thank all of the members who took there time to work in the cemetery this past weekend. The following workers were: Stan Mignourey, Jim Boling, Bill Boling Sr., Bill Boling Jr., Daniel Mignourey, Dave Mignourey, Assoc. Pastor Robbie Bolmeyer, Reggie Fender, Jim Tutt, Jeremy and Tiffany Mignourey, and Harold Dorsey. All the work that these individuals did this past weekend is very much appre-
ciated and well deserved. For myself and on the behalf of the Village of Sardinia Council we want to extend our gratitude for the fine work on the cemetery. Thank you and God bless. Mayor Todd L. Bumbalough Village of Sardinia

One confirmed murder, two gun related deaths and two mysterious deaths down on the river has pretty much everyone talking. And the very latest that I can report in the Blanton, Berry and Lakes deaths is...there isn’t anything new to report. The Ripley Police Department and Brown County Sheriff’s Office are working very hard to find out what happened to the four people who lost their lives. They are waiting for lab tests and other information that hasn’t come in yet. Keep in mind that yes, five people are dead. But so far, only one has been confirmed to be a murder. So at this point, even saying “the five murders” is premature. I’m in touch regularly with the investigators. When they tell me something I’ll tell you, both on www.browncountypress.com and in this newspaper. What I will not do is write a story full of words like “may” and “possibly” and talk about “possible connections” between the victims. Last week, I asked Detective Sergeant Donnie Wagoner of the Brown County Sheriff’s Office “Are you investigating any connection between the victims in Aberdeen and Ripley?” His answer: “No, we are not.” Wagoner did tell me that he had heard rumors of at least five more “murders” in Brown County, from one person found floating in the river, to two more double killings. Needless to say, none of those deaths actually hap-

18th Annual Observance of the National Day of Prayer May 6 at the Courthouse Square in Georgetown. A Praise Band from Living Church of Five Mile in Green Township performed worship music before the observance began about 7 p.m. Former Brown County of Commerce Chamber Director Ray Becraft opened the Observance by giving a brief history of NDP. While this year marks its 59th Annual Observance nationwide, the event has been held on the first Thursday every May beginning in 1988. “Believe me, I am glad to see a good crowd here tonight,” Becraft commented in light of the ruling issued earlier this year by a U.S. District Court judge in Wisconsin that NDP was unconstitutional. That ruling hasn’t been enforced, however, pending appeals in other federal courts. Becraft also said, “The need for repentance and prayer, both individual and corporate, has never been more obvious. Our nation’s future rests on the will-

ingness of its people to sincerely seek the Lord’s protection, providence and blessing. “So today let us all remember that many may reject our appeals, they may reject our message, they may oppose our arguments, they may despise our persons, but they are helpless against our prayers.” Those attending pledged allegiance to the American flag, the Christian flag, and the Holy Bible before a youth choir from Still Waters Mennonite Church in Franklin Township sang a few selections beginning with the familiar hymn “Lily of The Valley”. “Centers” Prayers Offered Prayer then was offered for “the seven centers of power” in the United States. Brown County Board of Commissioners President Margery Paeltz prayed for government leaders including President Barack Obama and those serving in Congress. Paeltz prayed that God would grant Obama wisdom and that He would help members of Congress truly meet the needs of the people they serve. The Rev. David Eversole, of Georgetown pastor Presbyterian Church, prayed for churches and mentioned how God will take care of churches once they develop a relationship with God’s son Jesus Christ. Eversole prayed that God’s Spirit would rest on congregations and their pastors. Businessman Jim Tolin prayed for area businesses that God would give their owners wisdom to manage them in
these tough economic times. Georgetown residents Andy and Millie Fain prayed for area educators. Mr. Fain mentioned that while “prayer is the most powerful resource we have in this life,” people often turn to prayer only as “a last resort”. He thanked God “for giving us this power of prayer” while Mrs. Fain prayed that God would enable adults not only to educate children in the things of the world but also about God’s future kingdom to come. Tamma Plymesser, director of the Pregnancy Resource Center of Brown County, prayed for families. “We know you created families,” Plymesser prayed, mentioning that throughout history societies have failed when families have failed. She asked God to help parents realize they need to teach their children about Him. The Rev. Bill Kirby, chaplain at Ohio Veterans Home in Georgetown, prayed for the military. Kirby said that as a Vietnam War veteran, “It is a great honor and privilege to lead you in the prayer for our military.” Kirby asked for God to provide “divine protection” to military men and women serving around the world, particularly in Iraq and Afghanistan. Newspaper publisher Steve Triplett prayed for members of the media and asked God to raise up members of the media who are people of morality and integrity and prayed that children would not turn their backs on God when they might

become influenced by some wrong things presented to them in the media. Prayer For America Offered Becraft then led those assembled in the 2010 Prayer For The United States composed by the Rev. Franklin Graham, NDP honorary chairman and a son of famed evangelist the Rev. Billy Graham. That prayer began, “Lord, we are thankful for the abundant blessings You have bestowed on America. Our forefathers looked to You as protector, provider, and the Promise of Hope, but we have wandered far from that firm foundation. May we repent for turning our backs on Your faithfulness. We pray that this great nation will be restored by Your forgiveness.”

NO WINE Look with me in Jeremiah 35. Jeremiah was a man of God, a great prophet, speaking at the time when the ten tribes of Israel were already carried away. The tribes of Judah and Benjamin still retained the city of Jerusalem and the Temple. Jeremiah was warning them to change some of the things they were doing or else they would lose what they had. I think that principle of change or else is still true of unsaved people today. If they do not change they will definitely have a devastating loss. They will lose their soul. Jesus said in Matthew 16:26: “For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?” However, in Jeremiah 35 God is making a comparison for His people. He is comparing the obedience of a man’s children to how He wants His children to obey Him. He asked: if these sons obey their father why will not my children obey me? Let us begin in verse 1: “The word which came unto Jeremiah from the LORD in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, saying, Go unto the house of the Rechabites, and speak unto them, and bring them into the house of the LORD, into one of the chambers, and give them wine to drink.” Now skip down to verse 6: “But they said, We will drink no wine: for Jonadab the son of Rechab our father commanded us, saying, Ye shall drink no wine, neither ye, nor your sons for ever.” The drinking of alcohol is not God’s main subject here. God is talking about how these sons obeyed their father. The script writers of TV programs and movies today turn it around backwards. In order to be a good parent today you should do everything your children request of you. That is the world’s slant. However, you will not find that in the Bible. In Colossians 3:20 the Bible tells us: “Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord.” The Fifth Commandment states: “Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.” That is God’s slant on how it should be in this world. Therefore God told Jeremiah that He wanted to use Jonadab’s children as a comparison to His own children. Jonadab’s sons obeyed their father. As God’s children we ought to obey our Father. He said that we ought to love one another and get along with one another. We ought to consider that what God says He

DR. CHARLES SMITH MT. ORAB BIBLE BAPTIST CHURCH www.bbcmtorab.com means and that His word is given to us to obey. Not just to listen to, but to do. And not us only. Look at verse 8: “Thus have we obeyed the voice of Jonadab the son of Rechab our father and all that he hath charged us, to drink no wine all our days, we, our wives, our sons, nor our daughters.” Verses 12-13: “Then came the word of the LORD unto Jeremiah, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Go and tell the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, “Will ye not receive instruction to hearken into my words?” saith the LORD. Church, we need to consider that sometimes God is saying to us: “Will ye not receive instruction?” Verses 14-16: “The words of Jonadab the son of Rechab, that he commanded his sons not to drink wine, are performed; for unto this day they drink none, but obey their father’s commandment: notwithstanding I have spoken unto you, rising early and speaking; but ye hearkened not unto me. I have sent also unto you all my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them, saying, “Return ye now every man from his evil way, and amend your doings, and go not after other gods to serve them, and ye shall dwell in the land which I have given to you and to your father’s: but ye have not inclined your ear, nor hearkened unto me.” Notice that they received these messages through the preaching of the prophets. Verse 17: “Therefore thus saith the LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring upon Judah and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem all the evil that I have pronounced against them: because I have spoken unto them, but they have not heard; I have called unto them, but they have not answered.” Listen up church; God does not change. In Jeremiah He was talking to Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. In the New Testament He is talking to us. Are we listening?

Eastern 6th graders study ancient cultures Eastern Middle School sixth graders studied the cultures of the Aztecs, Incas, Mayas and the Mississippians, all of which were located in the Western Hemisphere. Students researched the political and social characteristics of these civilizations, as well as the impact on later civilizations. Students were given 2 weeks to research, take notes, prepare for a test and complete a hands-on-project. As part of this project students were asked to choose from one of the following: design and construct an Inca suspension bridge, Inca sundial, Maya calendar stone, Corn People, Quipa Math, Mummies, Clothing Catalog, Maya Trading Cards and a CSI activity called “Who Stole the Bones from the Underworld.”. Under the guidance of Mrs. Bradley, the students presented their projects to their class. The Eastern Middle School sixth grade students had great time learning about the ancient civilizations.

Barnes sentenced to five years in prison on felony GSI counts of what she saw as insufficient evidence. The defendant had been scheduled to be tried by a jury March 25-27 on the other five GSI counts involving a second alleged victim, but following Corbin’s guilty verdict against Barnes in connection with the first victim, Barnes opted to plead guilty to a lesser offense regarding the second victim rather than stand trial. He pleaded guilty to a fourthdegree GSI count, which was reduced from a third-degree count. As part of Barnes’ plea agreement, the other four thirddegree GSI counts involving the second victim were dismissed. The dates on which Barnes allegedly had committed the five GSI offenses against the victim in Brown County for which he was to stand jury trial ranged in time from June 1993 to June 1998. A Brown County grand jury in June 2007 had indicted him on those five counts and also the two counts involving the victim who testified in the court trial. The Brown County Press is not identifying either victim by name or the name of a relative whose identity would give away one or both of those victim’s identities. The victim involved in Barnes’ court trial count was shown on a DVD being interviewed by social worker Cecilia Freihofer with Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical
Center Mayerson Center for Safe and Healthy Children. The victim also was the first witness to take the stand in the court trial. According to her testimony, Barnes allegedly had touched her inappropriately while she was on a couch in his Clermont County home and also had touched her inappropriately while he claimed he was checking her for ticks at an A-frame house Barnes owns in Brown County’s Lewis Township. The victim said she confided in a friend in 2007 about what had happened to her. In questioning by Little, she said she took that step because she felt it was time to finally do so and said she didn’t think it was right to keep what had happened to her a secret any longer. The victim’s mother testified on the second day of the trial and mentioned how sometime around Easter 2007 the victim told her, her father, and her two siblings about something at a meeting held with them. While being instructed by Little not to testify as to what the victim had told her, the mother said her daughter had immediately started crying, her face was contorted, her lips were quivering, and tears were streaming down her face. The mother said as a result of what her daughter had told her, she contacted Freihofer at the Mayerson Center. Dr. Jolie Brams, a clinical psychologist from Columbus, testified on the second day of the trial it was her opinion
Freihofer did not conduct a proper interview with the victim – an interview that lasted 14 minutes – and did not follow proper protocol for such an interview. Cincinnati attorneys Christopher McDowell and Sarah Herron served as Barnes’ defense attorneys during his court trial, and McDowell accompanied Barnes at his sentencing hearing. Clermont Counts Mentioned Asked at the hearing what her position as prosecutor was regarding Barnes’ sentencing, Little mentioned the defendant was convicted on 10 misdemeanor imposition counts in Clermont County, for which he was sentenced to community control (formerly known as probation). Those combined counts involved two females, one of whom was a victim involved in the two counts for which Barnes was being sentenced on May 14. McDowell, speaking on Barnes’ behalf, mentioned how the defendant had lived a crimefree life for 60 years and hadn’t violated the terms of his probation after being sentenced for the misdemeanor counts in Clermont County Common Pleas Court in Batavia. The defense attorney said Barnes, because of his age, would not do well in prison. “If he goes to prison for five years, it will be his death.” Barnes spoke briefly and said, “Words cannot express my unremitting remorse.” The defendant also said, “I
take full responsibility for being in the position where these charges could be made.” Impact Statements Given The victims’ mother and the victims, who are now adults, gave spoken victim impact statements at the hearing. The mother said there had been lies, slander, and an impugning of her family members’ character as a result of the victims coming forth as they did and that those things resulted in “insult added to injury”. She added, “We have lost so much for standing up for the truth; life will never be the same.” The victim in the count for which Barnes pleaded guilty to a fourth-degree felony testified the past three years had been the worst years of her life and had been filled with pain, sorrow, and betrayal. She said while it was true Barnes was a successful businessman and a hard worker, she added, “It is a cover-up for who he truly is.” The victim in the count for which Corbin found Barnes guilty on a third-degree felony told the judge, “Because of you, I have found I can write the final sentences in one of the worst chapters of my life.”
Little to use sequential numbers on her pre-trial motions and Wallace to use sequential letters to eliminate confusion. Tincher’s hearing followed Hensley’s.

days to examine the evidence the prosecution has collected and to do research on the case. “It’s going to take some time to go through all this”, Rosenhoffer told Gusweiler. The 70 year old Tincher is accused of hiring 33 year old Hensley to kill John Carpenter of Aberdeen for 900 dollars. So far, a motive for the alleged murder has not been publically discussed.

Van Tielen pleads guilty to child porn CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 He also faces a potential 60 thousand dollars in fines. Van Tielen was arrested in March after Brown County authorities were notified of an investigation by the Georgia Bureau of Criminal Investigations. A suspect there was arrested for child porn charges and GCBI officials found e-mails containing illegal images had been sent from that persons computer to Van Tielens IP address in Ripley. With that information, Brown County Sheriff’s Deputies got a search warrant for Van Tielen’s home. They seized his computer and some portable storage devices that they said contained images of child pornography. Retired Chief Deputy John Schadle of the Brown County Sheriff’s Office was the lead investigator in the case. He said the images he found in Van Tielen’s possession were very disturbing. “I’ve been in this business a long time and that’s some of the worst stuff I’ve ever seen”, Schadle said. Van Tielen was already a reg-
istered sex offender with the Brown County Sheriff’s Office based on a conviction out of New Jersey. He was convicted of raping four elderly women in Bergen County, New Jersey between 1987 and 1990. He was sentenced to 30 years in prison in 1991, but was released in May of 2007.

“But look at the juxtaposition. The woman and her lover are so close to the flower, yet it's just beyond their reach. There's a yearning there to break through, to rediscover the passion they've lost. There's something more, something wonderful if they could only see it. It's immediate and elusive all at the same time” This is the description of a single painting as described by a character in Dan LaRocque's comedic one act, “Man Woman Flower,” playing 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, June 2, in the Edward K. Daniels Auditorium on Southern State Community College’s Central Campus, 100 Hobart Drive, Hillsboro. “Man Woman Flower” features a variety of characters as they go through an art museum viewing a single painting that transfixes them in a series of comedic scenelets that can be interpreted in numerous ways, just as art can. Each character sees the painting from their own perspective, whether they are Ben and Nancy, a struggling couple (played by Reid Lyle and Jessica Morris) or an
angered evangelist (Benjamin Gullett). On the outside, looking in, a sensitive young artist (Paul Davis) sits at the edge of each scene, watching as the museum guests become humorous sketches themselves. Other cast members include: Kyle Baker, Veronica Carpenter, Juliane Cartaino, Jessica Chamblin, Courtney Covert, Mandy Martin, Joshua McConnaughey, Amy Petzold, McCaylee Priest and Calin Rushing. “Man Woman Flower” is directed by Rainee Angles and stage-managed by Ayla Stirnaman. Other crew positions are being fulfilled by Kat Castle, Jessica Culver, Donald Gehres, Will Klotz and the stagecraft class, and David Woolver. “Man Woman Flower” plays for one night only and is free to the public. Guests will be invited to an art show— featuring art by Southern State students—immediately following the production, and refreshments will be served. For more information about “Man Woman Flower,” future and past productions, please visit www.sscctheatre.com.

SSCC board approves tuition increase Following a four-year period of maintaining level tuition rates, the Southern State Community College Board of Trustees during its May 12 regular meeting voted to approve a two-tier increase in tuition. “Even with the increase, Southern State still holds the lowest tuition in the state among non-levied schools,” said Jim Buck, vice president of business and finance for the college. Southern State has not had a tuition increase since a 2.99-percent hike in 2006. After a two-year mandated tuition freeze in the state, in July 2009 Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland lifted the freeze and allowed public institutions of higher education to consider up to a 3.5-percent tuition increase. Southern State’s Board of Trustees voted July 23, 2009, to maintain current tuition rates and revisit the issue at a later date. The board unanimously voted to implement the 3.5percent increase that had been approved in February, but not assessed. Immediately following that vote, the board made a 5-2 decision to approve an additional 3.5-percent increase. Dissenting votes came from trustees Ben Houser of Brown County and Rory Ryan of Adams County. The increase will take effect beginning summer quarter 2010. With the increase, a fulltime student who pays out of pocket would see an increase of $80 per quarter. Eighty-three percent of
Southern State’s students are eligible for enough federal financial aid to fully cover the cost of tuition. For those 17 percent who pay out of pocket, a new Impact Scholarship could make up some of the difference. Funds have been allocated for the Impact Scholarship program to provide one-time annual awards of $100 to all students who qualify. For more information about the Impact Scholarship, please contact the college’s financial aid department at 1-800-6287722, ext. 2612. NEXT BOARD MEETING The Southern State Community College Board of Trustees will meet 4:30 p.m. Friday, June 11, 2010, on the college’s Central Campus, 100 Hobart Drive, Hillsboro.

German teenager making the most of her time in Brown County the field. “It’s pretty cool to be able to play for your school”, she said. “It makes you feel special when you’re playing.” Pagel had never stepped onto a softball field before arriving in Brown County. Her coaches said they even had to figure out which hand she needed to throw with. But after some practice and some help from her host family, Pagel got to experience her first hit. “I thought it was a foul at first, but everybody was screaming at me to run and I made it to base” she said, smiling at the memory. “I felt pretty special standing at first base”. Later in the season, Pagel scored her first run, running home from second. Her teammates even cheered her in German when she played, saying “du machst das”, which translates to “you got it”. Softball isn’t the only difference between her hometown of Dortmund, Germany and Sardinia, of course. Dortmund has a population of 600 thousand people and has a soccer stadium that could seat everyone in Brown County with room left over. When asked about the biggest differences between her home and Brown County, Pagel said “the landscape. There is so much more open area. When I first got here, I just kept looking at it.” She also noted that American teenagers have something her friends back home do not...cars. “You aren’t allowed to drive in Germany until you are 18”, Pagel said. “We all ride the bus to school and use public transportation to get from place to place.” She said she misses her mothers cooking and some of her friends back home...but when she has to return to Germany this July, she will miss some things about Brown County as well. “I’ll miss my friends and my second family”, she said about

her host family. “I’ll also miss the open spaces and slower pace here in America.” She talked about her first day of school last fall as well. “I was nervous, but everybody was very welcoming”, she said. And of course, teenagers will be teenagers. “They all wanted me to teach them a bad word in German, so I gave them the word ‘schmetterling’”, she said. “I didn’t tell them for a while that it actually means ‘butterfly’”. 17 year old Courtney Wiford is one of Pagle’s friends at Eastern. “She’s always positive and always there when I need her”, she said of her friend. Kaylee Purdy is also 17. She met Pagel during soccer season. She and Pagel bonded over a sacred teenage girl ritual...shopping. “The malls are a big difference here”, Pagel said. “In Germany most shops are
by themselves instead of all together in a huge building.” Purdy teased her a bit about using American money, and Pagel admitted to a little confusion at first. “I’m fine with the bills, but it’s the coins that get me”, she said. Purdy also reminded Pagel that her English was very good when she arrived last fall, but there were still a few glitches. “I corrected her a few times”, she said. “She would mess up ‘remember’ and ‘remind’, as in ‘remember me to do this’”. Pagel also said she would say “today night” for “tonight” at first. Eastern English teacher Lee Willson said Pagel is doing exceptionally well in her honors class. “She’s embraced America and made friends and she’s very good natured”, Willson said. She added that Pagel has a flair for page design and has been a big help in designing the Eastern yearbook for this year.

military men and women around the world know there are people in the United States who support their service and said as part of his prayer, “We want to make a statement – we support our military personnel wherever they are.” Georgetown High School graduate Megan McElroy, an employee in the Brown County Clerk of Courts office, led the crowd in singing “The StarSpangled Banner”, and OVH Resident Council President Sam Gilkison led those gathered in the Pledge of Allegiance to the U.S. Flag. Legion Commander Speaks Ohio American Legion State Commander Lou Dimmerman spoke and commented how it was important for politicians to pay attention to veterans even as it was important for veterans to pay attention to politicians. mentioned Dimmerman how, with Memorial Day approaching on Monday, May 31, it was important not to forget those who served previously in the military and have passed on since. He mentioned there is a tremendous backlog in eligible veterans seeking U.S. Veterans Administration benefits and also said something needs to be done to help U.S. veterans who have become homeless. The next speaker was 86year-old Whitt of Clermont County’s Monroe Township, who survived the Japanese air

never was wounded, even though a sleeve on a jacket he was wearing was shot. He received 17 stars in major World War II battles. He described himself as a Petty Officer in charge of gunners. He mentioned while the custom of burying slain sailors at sea included a chaplain who would say words over them and a U.S. flag, many sailors had to be placed into the sea without a ceremonial chaplain or a flag because none was available. Whitt mentioned how one of the greatest gifts World War II servicemen received was letters from home. He spoke personally to many in the audience at Georgetown when he proclaimed, “I feel really honored to stand here in honor of you combat veterans of war.” Vietnam Veteran Speaks The final featured speaker was Scott Township resident Jim Heathcote, a Vietnam War veteran who served as a U.S. Air Force pilot and now volunteers at OVH. In introducing Heathcote, Vogel said 212 or so people volunteer at OVH, which he thought was a good number considering a good nursing home may have only 10 volunteers. “That’s support for the troops right there,” Vogel said of the volunteers. Heathcote informed his listeners he was the operations officer of a psychological warfare unit that tried to win “the hearts and minds of the enemy” in Vietnam. He mentioned that servicemen dropped about 3 million leaflets during missions over North Vietnam and played loud speakers close to the ground so North Vietnam residents could hear about offers of food, residences and jobs in South Vietnam. “And, you know, it worked!” he recalled. “About 18,000 came over (to the South Vietnam side) in 1968 and about 21,000 in 1969 when I was over there.” He said while the U.S. military was bringing North Vietnamese residents “around to our way of thinking” and were having success that way, servicemen read in papers how many people in the United States “did not share our feelings of success”. He talked about an anti-war march on the Pentagon and some anti-war activists who moved to Canada rather than serve in the military. “These were indications to us that all was not well back in the states.” Heathcote mentioned how the only people apparently really happy to see the returning Vietnam War servicemen were their own families, recalling how his 8-year-old daughter jumped up and down with excitement and joy as he walked down a ramp upon his return to the United States. He mentioned the attitude of people today toward Vietnam veterans, however, is different. “I thank God that that is the case,” Heathcote said. “Now when we wear a uniform many people thank us for our service. That is as it should be and that is why I stand here today in full support of all of those people that are serving in our military.” He closed by telling the gathered veterans and any who could be serving presently in the military, “Our nation is what it is today thanks to people just like you. Thanks very much to you all.”
Vogel then recognized veterans attending the Rally, the West Union-based Liberty Cornet Band played a tribute to servicemen and servicewomen with a medley of tunes saluting different military branches, and members of Carey Bavis Post 180 of the American Legion in Georgetown fired a 21-Gun Salute just before a musician played “Taps”. In his benediction to conclude the Rally, Kirby acknowledged to God how many servicemen and servicewomen had relied on Him for protection on the battlefield, and he petitioned the Lord to keep His hand on those military personnel still serving in harm’s way.

Broncos stumble versus Amelia in sectional tournament By Ritchie Butler The Brown County Press The Western Broncos’ season came to an abrupt end when they dropped a 7-5 extra inning game to the Amelia Barons last Thursday. “We just beat them last week and maybe took them for granted,” said Western skipper Jeff Herrmann. “Amelia did good things like executing bunts. We gave them too many outs and missed some signs.” Amelia got on the board in the top of the first inning, scoring one run without a hit. Western evened the score in the home half of the first. ryan Shields singled and scored on a double off the bat of Eric Jamison. Caleb Rieselman followed with a double, but Jamison came up limping
while rounding third and was thrown out. Jamison had to leave the game. The Barons reclaimed the lead in the top of the second, plating one run on one hit. The Broncos tied the count again in the bottom of the third. Tory Bauer singled and stole second with one out. He moved to third on Shields’ single and scored when alex Smith singled. After three innings, the score was 2-2. Western took the lead in the bottom of the fourth. Nate Gillam singled, moved to second on a sacrifice by Tyler Spitznagel and scored when Matt Partin reached on an error, giving the Broncos a 3-2 edge. Western increased its lead in the bottom of the fifth. Shields drew a leadoff walk. Two batters later, Rieselman
hit a bomb to left center, giving the Broncos a 5-2 lead. Amelia responded with three runs on two hits in the top of the sixth, benefitting
from two walks and a hit batsman. Heading to the bottom of the sixth, the score was tied again at 5-5. The Broncos threatened in
the bottom of the seventh. Bauer walked and moved to third when Jamison re-entered and delivered a single. With the bases loaded, Jon Walker
smashed a ground ball to third, but Bauer was out at home, sending the game into extra innings. Continued on page 15

The Eastern Warriors lost to the Piketon Red Streaks on Friday in the sectional finals by a score of 5-1. “It was a tough loss,” said Eastern coach Dave Mignery. “We ran into a buzzsaw in the Farmer kid.” Piketon lit up the board first, scoring one run on one hit in the top of the second. The Red Streaks added to their lead in the top of the fourth, plating one run on two hits in the frame. In the top of the sixth, Piketon built a comfortable 50 advantage by scoring three runs on three hits. The Warriors closed the gap in the bottom of the sixth. Austin Williams walked to

lead off the inning. He moved to second on a throwing error and went to third on a wild pitch. Derek Souder walked and went to second when the Piketon pitcher balked. Williams scored on the play as well, cutting the Red Streaks’ lead to 5-1. Eastern also threatened with a two-out rally in the bottom of the seventh. Daniel Faul singled and Andrew Meeker drew a walk. Williams hit a smash to the Piketon second baseman, but was nipped at first, giving the Red Streaks a 5-1 win. “We played good defense and our pitchers threw the ball over the plate,” said Mignery. “We just didn’t have a lot of baserunners.” Brandon Carrington suffered the loss on the mound.
He worked five innings, allowing five runs, all earned, on seven hits. Brandon Carrington struck out two and walked none. “Brandon doesn’t overpower people, but he has done a nice job for us all year,” said Mignery. Meeker pitched two innings in relief. He allowed no runs and no hits. Meeker hit one batter. At the plate, the Warriors were led by Brett Carrington’s two hits. Cody Kelch added a double and Faul added a single for Eastern. With the loss, the Warriors finished the season 15-8 overall. Eastern also finished second in the Southern Hills League wit a mark of 9-4. “It was a pretty good year,” added Mignery. “We exceeded
what a lot of people thought we would do. We had some injuries along the way, but who knows what we may have been able to do.” The Warriors will say goodbye to six seniors in Brett and Brandon Carrington, Kelch, Meeker, Brandon Koewler and Daniel Kiefer. “They are a talented group and great kids,” said Mignery. “I’ve grown to love them so much. They have meant a lot to this program and they’ve worked hard.

The Eastern Lady Warriors dropped a sectional final game to the Northwest Lady Mohawks on Friday by a score of 4-3. “They hit line shots and we hit bloopers,” said Eastern coach Eric Purdy. “Northwest put it in play and we had a couple of costly errors. We couldn’t get in our short game without the baserunners.” The Lady Mohawks scored first, plating one run on two hits in the top of the opening frame. Northwest added to its lead in the top of the third, scoring one run on one hit and benefitting from an Eastern error. In the top of the fifth, the Lady Mohawks built upon their lead, scoring twice on one hit. Northwest capitalized on three Eastern miscues in the frame and took a 4-0 lead. The Lady Warriors’ offense came alive in the bottom of the seventh. Maria Johnson singled leading off the inning.
Shelby Mullins drew a walk. Two batters later, Emily Tatman belted a double off the wall, driving in Johnson and leaving runners at second and third. After Taylor Reynolds grounded out, Arica Bollman laced a single to right field. Mullins and Tatman scored on the play. The Northwest first baseman took the cutoff throw and faked a toss to the plate, catching Bollman in a wide turn at first., tagging her out and ending the Lady Warriors’ comeback bid. “We’ve dropped some close games this year and this one came down to a baserunning error,” said Purdy. “This was a good group of kids with a lot of skill. This was a tough loss.” Johnson suffered the loss on the mound for Eastern. She worked seven innings, allowing four runs, one earned, on five hits. Johnson walked one and struck out two. Johnson also led the offense with two hits. Tatman and Bollman added one hit each. The loss dropped Eastern to

Dillinger to compete at National Wrestling Championships Junior Western Brown wrestler Justin Dillinger recently qualified to be a member of the 2010 USA Wrestling-Ohio National Team. He is just one of 45 wrestlers across the state of Ohio to make the team. Selection to the team was based on the results of the recent USA Wrestling State Championships. He placed third in both the Freestyle and GrecoRoman styles. During the past several years, the Ohio National team has done well in national competition. Last year, the team included over 20 All-Americans. The National Wrestling Championships will be held at the University of North Dakota, in Fargo, from July 17-24. Dillinger will be preparing for this event with an intensive
training camp that begins on July 11. Dillinger becomes the school's first wrestler to make this prestigious team and will be working extremely hard to prepare for it. To be able to compete, Dillinger needs to raise $950 to pay for the entire trip. He is asking for help to make his dream become a reality. If you are willing to donate or sponsor Dillinger, please contact Western Head Coach Wendel Donathan for more information. Coach Donathan can be reached by e-mail at: donat-w@wb.k12.oh.us, or by phone at 937.307.110. All donations are tax deductible and will be used to help lower his expenses for the trip.

“This was the best hitting group I’ve had come through this program,” said Purdy. “They always seemed to come up with the timely hits.”
Armed Forces Night at Moler Raceway
R.A. Smith Photos
Drivers and Chick Hale, veteran, Pioneer of Racing and Grand Marshal for Freedom Fighters 40.
The Third Annual Armed Forces Night at Moler Raceway Park was another exciting night with great competition in the field for threetime feature winner Jason Jamison. In the Freedom Fighter 40 for Late Models, there were 22 cars on hand and qualifying was the first order of business. Jamison took the top spot with a 13.595 lap. In the heat races it was Josh McGuire taking heat number one over Dennis Erb while Jason Feger took the victory in heat-race number two over Marty O’Neal. In the fast car dash it was Rick Combs taking the win over Jamison and setting the starting lineup for the 40-lap shootout. Before the driver introductions, it was a moment to honor not only a military veteran but one of the pioneers in area racing as MRP recognized the Legendary Chick Hale with a “Pioneer of Racing Award,” for his longtime contribution to the racing community. At 83 years of age, Chick was excited to receive such an honor. At the drop of the green flag, it was all Jamison as the field went 20 laps before the
first caution waved for Marty O’Neal as Jamison led over Rick Combs and Justin Ratliff. On the restart, only one additional lap was completed before Mason Combs spun around and brought out the event’s second caution. When the green waved, it was Josh McGuire on the move with Erb in tow, but neither one had anything for Jamison as he won his fourth consecutive feature event at MRP. Following Jamison across the line were McGuire, Erb, R. Combs, and Wayne Chinn. One lucky fan was also victorious as, throughout the night, fans were randomly paired up with feature drivers and at the end of the night it was Dan Kratzer winning the $100 cash prize and a trip to victory lane with the feature event winner. In the Mt. Orab Ford Modifieds, it was another 22car field on hand with Dave McWilliams, Doug Adkins and Shaun Scott all taking heat-race wins. In the feature it was Adkins out front at the start, but McWilliams was on the move from his third starting spot, and after a fierce battle at the halfway mark, it was McWilliams in his Bob Pierce

At the green, it was Lexington, Kentucky’s Dean out front, but all eyes were on Bretz as he chased Dean for the top spot. Dean held on to win his first-ever feature event at MRP, while Bretz came home second, followed by Jeremy Scott, Scott Hess and Mark Kaetzel. In the Holman Motors Chevettes, a smaller than normal field of cars, 20, treated

Tarvin was able to take the top spot on lap 6 and never looked back as he went on to win his second feature of the season. Watson came home second with Josh Francis, Jones and Paul Luers rounding out the top five positions.

RULH’s Applegate to play basketball at Ky. Christian University coach impressed with Applegate’s work ethic, hard play BY Wayne Boblitt The Brown County Press
Ripley-Union-LewisHuntington High School senior Bryant Applegate will continue his basketball career as a college player this coming academic year. Instead of wearing the blue and white he donned as an RULH Blue Jay, however, he will be wearing red and black as a member of the Kentucky Christian University men’s basketball team. Applegate signed a letter of intent to play for the KCU Knights during a May 18 ceremony in the RULH High School Library. Knights Coach Corey Mullins, who attended the ceremony, said he was interested in having Applegate as a KCU player because “I loved his work ethic, how hard he plays”. Mullins, who will begin his third season with KCU's men this coming year, said Applegate will be a player who can rebound for the Knights, which “is something we need”, and also said he likes Applegate’s versatility inside and outside the paint. “He will be able to step out and shoot – we need that as well,” the coach mentioned. Applegate, who is 6’3 1/2” and weighs 188 pounds, played center for the RULH Blue Jays this past season, during which they posted respectable 13-9 overall and 9-4 Southern Hills League records. They placed second in SHL Division I behind champion Eastern Local, captured the 2009 Pepsi Classic Tournament Title at RULH, and made the Southwest Division III Sectional Tournament Championship Round at Western Brown High School, which they lost to Taft to conclude their season. Applegate Led Rebounding
Applegate was the Blue Jays’ leading rebounder with an average 6.9 rebounds per game and had the fourth-highest scoring percentage with an average 8.3 points per battle. He scored 57 field goals from 2-point range and some 3pointers as well. Asked why he chose KCU to continue his basketball competition, Applegate said he liked the fact it is a Christian school, mentioned the university has a good atmosphere and commented the KCU men’s team is “wellrounded”. Mullins said about 525 students attend KCU in Grayson, Ky., which is about 35 miles east of Morehead, Ky., and about 75 to 80 miles southeast of Applegate’s home in Aberdeen. Applegate said he likes the fact KCU is fairly close to his home and said he thought he had a better opportunity to play college basketball at a smaller college than at a larger one. He said he contacted KCU first. Mullins said he will look for ways for Applegate “to contribute to our success” and said he very well may be placed at the “Number Three” (swingman) or “Number Four” (forward) positions on the team. The coach said Applegate, as a freshman, should play against some of the best players at his own level and mentioned he expects Applegate to play hard every day he is on the court. “Congratulations on a great high school year,” Mullins told Applegate at the signing ceremony. “I am looking forward to coaching you for the next four years.” He said he was making a commitment as a coach to help Applegate both on and off the court and to help him become a better man when he graduates from KCU than

when he first enrolled at that institution. KCU Is Called “Good Fit” RULH Coach Mike Kennedy said he thought KCU will be a “good fit” for Applegate with its academics, religious environment and basketball. “For me anytime you have a kid who can go on to college, that’s a plus,” Kennedy said of Applegate, adding that when a coach has a player who can go on to college and play basketball, “That’s even better.” Applegate’s father, Jerry, said he went with his son twice to visit and tour the KCU campus and mentioned how his son seemed to have a camaraderie with current KCU players with whom he practiced at an open gym there. His father said he thinks KCU has a good safe environment and commented about his son’s impending enrollment and ball playing there, “I think it will be a very good fit.” mother, Applegate’s Doreen, said she was impressed with the KCU atmosphere and added, “I feel very good about sending him there.” Applegate said he is considering a major in business administration or sports management. While KCU doesn’t award athletic scholarships, Mullins said Applegate will receive an academic financial aid package that can include such financial aid sources as scholarships, loans and grants. KCU’s Knights compete in Division II of the National Christian College Athletic Association. Mullins said they posted a 20-11 overall record this past season and made it to the NCCAA Division II Regional Championship Game in Knoxville, Tenn., before concluding their season. The coach said while the KCU women’s basketball team has won the NCCAA II National Championship the last four seasons, a KCU men’s team last won a national title in 1999, adding the Knights placed third nationally in 2007.
