State Auditor: county ‘high risk’ BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press The Ohio State Auditor is asking for an additional $24,000 to pay for the ongoing audit of Brown County. That will bring the total cost to the county to $72,000. The auditors office has also indicated that the county is at “high risk” for the discovery of possible irregularities in the audit, listing seven separate issues. A spokesperson for the Auditor of State stressed that
the term “high risk” is not a finding of wrongdoing. It is simply an accounting designation. In the explanation for modification of the auditing contract, the Auditor of State wrote the following: “The County has been determined to be high risk which will result in additional audit procedures required for the audit. Errors and irregularities have been identified in the payment to child care providers, payments of tax settlements to the Library and
Senior Citizens, potential irregularities in the collection of dog tags in the Auditors office and dealer sales tax in the Clerk of Courts, the reconciliation between the Auditor and Treasurer was not in balance. Also, the ODJFS program specific audit identified non-compliance issues that will result in the County JFS programs to be high risk and the Attorney General’s BCI division has opened an investigation into the Auditor’s office.” The BCI investigation
stems from the alleged activities of former Brown County Auditor Employee Geoffrey “Geo” Sharp. It is BCI policy not to comment on ongoing investigations, however local sources have said the investigation centers on allegations that Sharp left Brown County in a county vehicle while performing his duties in the weights and measures division of the auditor’s office. Sharp resigned from the auditor’s office in February. A special prosecutor from
Hamilton County has been named in the case. No results of the investigation have been made public to date. Brown County Auditor Jill Hall addressed the other issues listed in the modification document that involved her office, starting with the dog tags. “(The auditors) thought there was a discrepancy in the number of dog tags sold in 2012.”, Hall said. “Last year there were not nearly as many dog tags sold as in the previous year and
this year. I don’t why last year was a down year, but the monies were down enough that they thought they should look into it a bit more carefully.” Regarding the tax settlements, Hall said that was another issue discovered by the audit. “When the auditor was looking at the numbers for the Union Township public library, she discovered that there seemed to be money they didn’t have, so she CONTINUED ON PAGE 10

Lawyers for the Western Brown School District are claiming that the school board is immune from a wrongful death suit.
WB answers lawsuit, lawyers claim immunity BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press Attorneys for the Western Brown School District have asked that a wrongful death suit filed against the school board be dismissed. In a Motion to Dismiss filed on May 10, attorney R. Gary Winters and Bernard Wharton argue that, according to state law, the school board is immune from civil liability. “Under Ohio law, based on the allegations in their complaint, the plaintiffs do not have a case against the school board.”, said Wharton. The same attorneys are representing former West-
former teacher and wrestling coach Scott Smith. Wharton said that his firm will also ask Common Pleas Judge Scott Gusweiler to dismiss the suit against the four. “The individual defendants’ position is that the allegations are untrue and don’t support the plaintiff’s claims against them.”, Wharton said.

‘Music in the Park’ set to return to Mt. Orab BY Martha B. Jacob The Brown County Press The Barcodes Band was one of the most exciting bands to perform last year during the Music in the Park Concert series in Mt. Orab. So popular in fact they performed twice. The Barcodes have been invited back and will be performing June 1, from 6:30 until 10 p.m. at the park according to concert coordinator, Woody Whittington. “The Barcodes offer a blend of rock, pop and disco music, from Poison to The Black Eyed Peas, KC and The Sunshine Band to Adele and Billy Idol to The Killers, Joan
Jett to Pink,” Whittington said. “It was a wellaccepted group last year and we’re really happy to have them back this year. “Our first concert which was supposed to be on May 18 featuring 4 on the Floor had to be cancelled due to weather, but the group as agreed to perform on June 8 as its make-up date. “We had some really great crowds last year at all our concerts and we look forward to offering some really great shows again this year.” Whittington added that the Concert in the Park events will also include a 50/50 split-the-pot with all proceeds going towards the future con-

struction of a structure to house the performers, which will protect them from the elements. According to Whittington the new bandstand is expected to cost approximately $38,000. Over $8,000 has already been raised which includes a recent pledge of $2,000 from Kroger and another pledge of $5,000 from the Mt.

meeting began, Superintendent Peggy McKinney turned the floor over to DECA student Tyler Adkins, who was holding a large trophy he had received from a recent competition. Adkins spoke briefly about his experiences at district, state and international levels. “We started out at the district competition at UC Clermont with all the local districts. I ended up getting 1st place in the district in the hotel and lodge management series event.” Adkins explained that he had to take a 100 question
test consisting of a mix of marketing questions and hospitality questions. After that he took part in a role play event where he was given a random scenario to read and go over, and resolve and he had no idea what it would be. “Then I had to develop a plan and prepare a written presentation for the judge, and I had to do all that in under 10 minutes. “Then the judge puts all your scores together and you get your score. I got first place. That was exciting. Then after that I moved on to the state competition in Columbus which was a ton of
fun. I got to know a lot of the other DECA members that are in other grades and that was nice.

Rankin reflects on 2nd Amendment
B R O A D S H E E T
Mt. Orab artist Steven L. Rankin recently created a beautiful oil painting titled ‘The Second Amendment,’ which was inspired by the controversial debate of gun control. He depicts these words of the Second Amendment, ‘The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.’ Rankin has been painting for over 35 years and is mainly a self-taught artist. Rankin donated his ‘Heros’ painting to the Georgetown Veteran’s Home in 2012. Rankin is married to Paula Rankin who is a teacher at Hamersville Elementary.
Knitters and crocheters looking ahead to the winter season While nearly everyone is anxiously waiting for warm air, sunshine and spring, one group of ladies is focused on the winter of 2013/2014 and the snow and bitter cold temperatures winter always brings. The Rambler Center knitters and crocheters plan to spend the coming weeks and months creating one of a kind, hand made hats for homeless people in the Cincinnati area. The ladies have set a goal of 150 hats and are already nearly halfway to making their goal. Our plan is to send the caps to one or more homeless shelters and to a center for victims of domestic violence early in November. The yarn for the project has been donated to the group and also by the ladies themselves. If you or someone you know has any leftover yarn or supplies from an already completed project and would like to donate them to the ladies for their project or if you would like to make and donate caps to the project, please let us know. We will be grateful for all the help we can get. The group meets weekly every Friday morning from 9 a.m. - 12 p.m. at the Rambler Center (the old Russellville School) in Russellville, Ohio
during the summer months. Free knitting and crochet lessons are offered at the center during the winter months beginning the first Friday AFTER labor day from 10 a.m. - 12 p.m. There is no specific size, color or pattern for the caps so whatever style the maker
chooses is good for us. We believe cold heads come in all shapes and sizes and our goal is to cover as many of them as possible. For more information or to donate supplies call Audrey Haas at (937) 377-1508 or Mary Kelch at (513) 7342501 or (513) 543-3137.

Ohio House passes legislation to provide affordable audits for local entities State Representatives Andy Thompson (R-Marietta) and Doug Green (R-Mount Orab) have announced that the Ohio House of Representatives today passed House Bill 6, which strives to lower auditing costs for political subdivisions and increase these entities’ participation in audits. Specifically, House Bill 6 codifies the Ohio Auditor of State’s policy regarding the option for allowing, in certain situations, an Agreed-Upon Procedures (AUP) audit, which is a lower-cost auditing method that permits eligible government agencies to save money and time without sacrificing accountability. These audits provide less formal
DOUG GREEN STATE REP. presentations of findings and are ultimately more cost-effective and less time-consuming, allowing savings of 25 to 50 percent of full audit costs. “This bill has near-universal support because it saves time and money for taxpayers and those entities that perform the best,” said Representative Thompson. “I am grateful to have had the opportunity to be a part of a meaningful legislation to benefit local governments in pro-
with annual expenditures of up to $5 million. According to this new policy, as many as 1,400 government entities may quality for an AUP audit, which will reduce audit costs and preserve accountability to the taxpayers. More than 1,000 AUP audits were completed in 2011 alone. House Bill 6 codifies the Auditor of State’s policy into law and strives to save taxpayer dollars, as full audits are very expensive procedures for local governments. House Bill 6 passed with unanimous support and now will move to the Ohio Senate.
groups. “I call on any of my constituents who have information that may help the House investigation, whether as an IRS employee in Cincinnati or a 501(c)(4) applicant, to submit details to my office so that I can get it in the hands of the House investigators. It is incredibly important that the Congress has complete and accurate information about what happened, who was involved, and how far up the chain of responsibility this goes,” continued Wenstrup. Wenstrup encourages constituents to submit information they may have at his website if they are; (i) An IRS employee and a resident of the Second District of Ohio who wishes to share specific information about the political targeting that has taken place or, (ii) A resident of the Second District of Ohio who has specific information about a 501(c)(4) group that was targeted by the IRS for political reasons Wenstrup will provide information directly to the investigating committees for their review and potential follow-up.

Letters to the Editor
Basta says ‘thank you’ to donors Dear Editor, On behalf of the Brown County Safe Communities Coalition and the Brown County 4-H CARTEENS, I’d like to thank all of the very generous donors for our 10th annual High School Seat Belt Challenge: DeClaire Insurance LLC; First State Bank; Ms. Jennie Kozma; John Wood Insurance Agency, Inc.; Kallam Insurance and Realty; Merchants National Bank; Mr. Dwight Marriott; Paul Hall & Associates; Seip’s Auto Parts & Service LLC; Carl Shafer Towing LLC; Brown County Common Pleas Judge Scott Gusweiler;
and Brown County Municipal Court Judge Joe Worley. Why do we sponsor the High School Seat Belt Challenge here in Brown County? Well, what we know is that teens traditionally have the lowest seat belt use rate of all age groups. And we also know that buckling up is one of those healthy behaviors for which teens need constant reminders. So our hope is that the Challenge (which is a four-week, peer-led program conducted during Prom season to promote consistent teen seat belt use) serves this purpose and helps to keep our

viding a way to cut audit costs, while maintaining the confidence of those we serve as we expend public dollars,” said Rep. Green. The Auditor of State’s Office, one of five independently elected statewide offices in Ohio, is responsible for auditing more than 5,700 state and local government agencies. Under the direction of Auditor Dave Yost, the office also provides financial services to local governments, investigates and prevents fraud in public agencies, and promotes transparency in government. In 2012, the Auditor of State’s Office expanded its policy on AUP audits to include public offices

teens around long enough to become responsible adults! This year at least four of our local high schools participated in the Challenge. Georgetown Jr-Sr High, led by Ms. Brenda Dixon and the FCCLA Chapter, received the Best Overall Seat Belt Use Rate Award (its postChallenge student seat belt use rate was 82.2%). The Award for the Highest Rate of Improvement for Seat Belt Use went to the Ripley-Union-LewisHuntington High’s Positive Behaviors Support (PBS) Group led by Mses. Angela Gray and Lynea Cameron. RULH High saw a nearly 16% increase in student seat belt use at the conclusion of its Seat Belt Challenge activities. Finally, the Southern Hills Career & Technical Center, led by Mr. Jim Wilson and the Safety Team, won the Award for “Saved by the Belt”, the Best Seat Belt Challenge Intervention. For this activity, a SHCTC student gave his own personal testimony to Southern Hills students about having survived a roll-over crash due to being buckled up (this included a blown-up poster of a dramatic photo of his crashed car). Congratulations to all of these student groups and to their faculty advisors for a job well done! The Seat Belt Challenge Awards were given out at the Brown County
Safe Communities’ Click It Or Ticket kick-off on May 16th. At that time, the winning schools also received special Commendations from the Ohio Legislature directly from Ohio House Representative Doug Green and State Senator Joe Uecker, who were both in attendance at our event. We express our deep appreciation to Rep. Green and State Senator Uecker, as well as to the Southern Hills Career & Technical Center for hosting this event. Again, we are deeply appreciative of the support received from our Seat Belt Challenge donors and to all of the teens and adults at the participating schools who cared enough to get involved. We are now entering one of the deadliest times of the year for teen drivers-- summer vacation time. So parents, please make a pact with your teens—draw up a seat belt contract and stick to its terms. Teens, remember to “Ride Like A Friend and Drive Like You Care”. And the rest of us can be good examples for our youth and remember to buckle up every time, every ride! Remember, Click It Or Ticket!

As the House Ways and Means Committee begins oversight hearings to investigate political targeting at the IRS, Representative Brad Wenstrup calls for any relevant and related information from constituents of the 2nd District. Wenstrup’s office is actively collecting any and all information directly related to IRS misconduct from constituents. “Nobody is above the law, and everybody must be equal under the law. I find it unconscionable that the IRS was targeting Ohioans for their political persuasions. IRS practices led to one constituent being singled out by name in agent questions to unrelated 501(c)(4) applicants. It is a chilling reality that IRS agents were targeting private citizens to suppress and delay the unrestrained exercise of free speech,” Wenstrup said. Southwestern Ohio has been ground zero for many of the allegations that have come forward in recent days. IRS documents reveal that the agency specifically asked applicant 501(c)(4) groups about their relationship with Mr. Justin Binik-Thomas, a 2nd District constituent. The House Ways and Means Committee and the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee are conducting investigations of the IRS’s conduct regarding 501(c)(4)

BY Martha B. Jacob The Brown County Press It was good news across the board for members of the Eastern Local School Board of Education, May 21 as Superintendent Michelle Filon shared the preliminary results from the 2012-2013 OGT (Ohio Graduation Test). “I was just so excited when I saw our numbers I couldn’t wait to share them,” Filon said with a big smile, “Everything on our results showed an increase. They hit all the indicators, of course I’m proud to say our school has never missed an indicator and that is quite an accomplishment.” “Last year in writing we had an 88.8%, this year it’s 92%. Reading scores last year were also 88.8%, this year it’s 90%, math was 86.5% now it’s at 91%, social studies was 84.3% now it’s 90% and science was 79.8% and now it’s at 89%, that’s a 9.2% increase. “I say...kudos to math, social studies and science’, what huge increases.” Filon said really good teachers at Eastern have made these scores what they are today. Serving as legislative liaison, Filon offered a power point presentation to the board regarding important issues and bills that will directly or indirectly effect Eastern School District. “We’re watching House Bill 59 closely right now,” Filon said. “This bill is in regard to the biennial budget. This legislation is now moving back to the Senate for additional hearings and the adoption of the Senate’s version. The OSBA (Ohio School Board Association), the OASBO (Ohio Association of School Business Organization) and the BASA
(Buckeye Association of School Administrators) are urging members to contact their senators with concerns over the voucher expansion provisions contained in the amended substitute HB59.” Filon went on to talk about Senate Bill 21 which the way it is written, completely removes the requirement that students obtain a sufficient score on the English language arts achievement test, increases the exemption for limited English proficient students from fewer than two years to fewer than 3 years of residency in the United States and from fewer than two years to fewer than three years of instruction in English as a second language. The bill will also affect students with “significant cognitive disabilities”, teachers who qualify for the guarantee with a reading endorsement to pass a related assessment required by the State Board of Education and removes language for teacher completion of a scientifically research-based instruction program. “Then another bill we’re watching is HB 167, referred to as the Columbus Plan,” Filon continued, “I found that this could affect Eastern. The three major components of HB 167 include authorization for the mayor to sponsor community schools. Also, it would create the position of an independent auditor for the district, which would be subject to voter approval. And my concern is the this third one, which is a requirement for our district to seek a levy that shares revenue with partnering community schools. Of course these are just in the beginning stages and may never pass, but I’m going to keep my eye on it.” The board later approved
a $6,000 increase in student activities and a five-cent increase across the board for student and adult lunches beginning next year. Treasurer Kevin Kendall informed the board that he is looking in to buying the software so that parents could pay lunch fees on line if they chose to do so. Following a lengthy discussion by the board regarding the annual contract with the Brown County Education Service Center which increased by $23,000 to a total of $519,378. Board member Vern Creighton suggested that because Eastern School District now has the option to sign with any ESC, perhaps they should shop around before signing. Kendall praised the BCESC for doing a great job and didn’t feel the need to shop around. The board eventually approved the contract for another year with plans to shop around for the following year. All board members approved signing the contract with the exception of Brian Garrett who abstained. Kendall also reviewed the five-year forecast for the school and said he had made very few changes to it. The board approved the plan. The board approved the following items as well: • offer insurance coverage for students through John Wood Insurance Agency; • several field trips; • certified contract with Kayla Crites for 7-12 science; • classified contract with Danny Jodrey for one year; • accept resignations from two bus drivers Richard Newman and Alan Pfeffer; • supplemental contracts with Rochelle Williams (W.A.V.E. coordinator), Sarah Downing (girls’ soccer),Regge Fender (boy’s

MAGNIFY Unlike Saul, before David was king, he was not a rich man. In fact, he came from a working family. The Lord had allowed David to experience many things before He ever put him in the position of king. God had tried and tested David the same as He tests every man before He will use him in His service. Many times in these tests and trials God is teaching something. Saul did not measure up to the tests. His main problem was himself; Saul thought too much of Saul. David on the other hand was a more humble man. Go with me to the 34th Psalm. Verses 1-2: “I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul shall make her boast in the Lord: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.” It is almost as if David is speaking concerning himself and yet we know that it is more than that. We know that this is all scripture; this is the word of God. Every single word is God’s word and God saw to it that this Psalm was recorded. I want you to notice the word humble in the phrase: “the humble shall hear thereof, and be want glad.” The ones who are not humble are not going to hear and they are not going to be glad. It is a category of people and it is a condition of hearing God’s word. You must be humble before the LORD. The way up in the LORD is down on your knees. The Bible tells us that if you humble yourself He will lift you up, but if you exalt yourself He will put you down. Verse 3: “O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together.” David is not magnifying himself; he is magnifying God. Furthermore, he wanted others to join him in magnifying the LORD and exalting His name. That would be a good thing for the church to do together! You know what a magnifying glass does. It enlarges and brings things out more clearly. Sometimes the LORD does not appear big enough in our minds and in our hearts. Somehow we have diminished God! We need to magnify Him in our minds and hearts because He “IS” a lot bigger and more powerful than what we perceive him to be. We need to do it together as a whole body as well as individual members. Not only do we
DR. CHARLES SMITH MT. ORAB BIBLE BAPTIST CHURCH WWW.BBMTORAB.COM
need to magnify him in our minds but we need to exalt His holy name. I believe God wants and deserves this collective worship. He wants us to get together as a group and rejoice in Him. One of the biggest problems Israel had was that they failed to rejoice and be full of joy over the things of God. They got to the point where they felt obligated. It was simply a duty to serve God. That is not what God wants! He wants us to feel joy and excitement in meeting with Him. When you meet with someone you love it makes you feel good inside. You want to talk and enjoy each other’s company. It is not an obligation; it is happy time. If someone loved you ever much and was excited to see you and when you got there all you did was complain about how inconvenient it was to come, how do you think it would make them feel? Well, how do you make God feel when you go to church, set in the pew, watch the clock, and wonder how fast you can get out of there? If we as a church were rated on excitement when we meet in God’s house, what do you think our rating would be? Would it be a 10, or a 5, or a 2? What about a 1? Sometimes I don’t even think it is that! We are getting into the same boat that Israel was in when they turned away from God. We are treading dangerous ground. God wants a 10, not a 5, or 2, or a 1! He wants to have a loving relationship with us. Look at verse 4: “I sought the Lord, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.” Verse 6: “This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.” Verse 8: “O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.” So magnify the LORD and humble yourself. It is the beginning and the basis of a happy relationship with God.

May is stroke awareness month BY Rebecca Oaks RN, BSN Mercy Mt. Orab May is stroke awareness month. Acute ischemic stroke is the leading cause of long-term disability in the U.S. and costs approximately $38.6 billion each year. On average, one American has a stroke every 40 seconds and every 3.1 minutes someone dies from a stroke. Strokes affect all age groups including the elderly, infants, children and adults. Greater Cincinnati Stroke Consortium is a newly formed nonprofit group of volunteers in the Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky area. The goal of the Consortium is to enhance stroke care outcomes and prevention of strokes utilizing education. The group is comof healthcare prised professionals from almost every healthcare system in the region, including several nurses from Mercy Mt. Orab Emergency Department. Rebecca Oaks RN, BSN and Debbie Cox RN, BSN are the only representatives for the Brown County area. The two main keys with stroke are prevention and treatment. Knowing the risk factors can help prevent stroke. Risk factors include: • Waist size (Greater than 40” for men and 35” for women have 4 times the risk) • High blood pressure • High cholesterol • Alcohol consumption • Personal or family history of stroke or heart disease • Connective tissue disorders (Marfan’s syndrome, Ehlers Danlos syndrome, Pots syndrome etc.) • Diabetes • Poor diet • Physical inactivity In a typical large-vessel ischemic stroke 1.9 MILLION brain cells die each minute without medical treatment. The gold standard of education now is the acronym FAST, which stands for F-face, A-arms, S-speech, T-time. If a person has drooping of one side of the face, drifting of one arm when extended out, slurred speech, then time is very important. Call 911 and seek immediate medical treatment. To learn more about stroke treatment or prevention, see Greater Cincinnati Stroke Consortium page on Facebook. The Cincinnati Reds will be hosting the Greater Cincinnati Stroke Consortium for Stroke Awareness Day on May 26th for their official launch of the group. Please help support those that one-day might be treating you by purchasing deeply discounted tickets for the Reds vs. Cubs at www.reds.com/stroke.

Connie Pillich announces campaign for Ohio Treasurer owner of a small business, or a representative in the legislature, I’ve dedicated my career to listening to concerns, creating a plan of action, and working hard to deliver real results. I will continue to do that as Treasurer. “And frankly, it’s about time we had a real leader in the Treasurer’s office. Ohio needs someone who actually wants to be Treasurer, someone who will show up to do the job and put qualified people to work with her.
“Ultimately, the challenges Ohioans face aren’t Republican or Democrat, they’re just challenges. The solutions I’ll work for won’t be tied to one party or another. As Treasurer, I’ll fight for the best ideas that produce the best results for Ohio’s families and seniors. I look forward to sharing that vision with voters across the state.” Rep. Pillich is serving her third term in the Ohio House of Representatives.
Brad Wenstrup votes to approve Keystone XL Pipeline
CMYK
Today, Representative Brad Wenstrup and the House of Representatives approved the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline by a bipartisan vote of 241 to 175. The Northern Route Approval Act, H.R. 3, waives the need for a Presidential Permit and grants the additional federal permits required to build the pipeline. “The Northern Route Approval Act, which I am proud to co-sponsor, gets government out of the way and promotes real energy security and economic growth. Building the Keystone XL pipeline is not only a strong step towards North American energy independence, but towards real job growth,” Wenstrup said. “After more than 1,700 days of government stonewalling, it’s time to build the pipeline and create 20,000 new American jobs, not to mention the thousands of secondary jobs and businesses
that will grow around the project.” The pipeline approval process, which has been stymied by 5 years and over 15,000 pages of regulatory review, would provide America up to 830,000 additional barrels of oil a day.
Wenstrup has long supported an “all of the above,” market-based energy policy that maximizes North America’s resources. Earlier this year, 62 Senators voted for similar legislation to approve the Keystone XL pipeline.

the plaintiffs will have to prove that they acted with “wanton misconduct and recklessness” that resulted in the death of Chance Smith in February of 2012. Smith’s parents filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the district in April. Michelle and Burly Smith claim their son’s death “was a direct and proximate result of the reckless and wanton misconduct of Defendants, who failed to exercise the requisite care toward Chance R. Smith.” Smith went missing on February 7, and his body was discovered the morning of February 8. The suit claims that on February 2, 2012, Cooper “commenced an investigation into the exchange and source of text/written messages amongst a number of students including (Smith) which arose to sexual bullying and the threat of the personal safety of members of the school’s student body, including the lives of (Smith) and members of his family.” According to the suit, Cooper sought help from the Mt.

ment “and initiated a collaborative investigation”. In an incident report prepared on February 3, 2012, MOPD Patrolman Reggie McKinzie write that “I was shown a note on notebook paper of threats made that was left in (a) locker, threather boyfriend, ening Chance Smith, if she didn’t reply with the request made by the anonymous author.” The report continues “I interviewed (the girlfriend) and reviewed text messages sent to her phone from Chance Smith’s phone which had been stolen from (her) wall locker....I also interviewed Chance Smith and took his statement. He has received two more threatening notes. All appear to be from the same notepad and similar handwriting. Neither party have an idea whom it might be.” MOPD Chief Bryan Mount said on April 18 that investigators later determined that it was Chance Smith himself who wrote the threats, possibly in a bid for attention. Richard Ellison, the at-
torney for Smith’s parents, said the school district knew about the threats and the stress that Chance Smith was under for five days, yet did not contact his parents. “He was going through some hard times and could have used some help from his parents....but they were never told”, Ellison said. The suit further claims that school officials knew that Chance Smith had threatened his own life and the life of others, yet did not inform either parent until 2:45 p.m. of the afternoon that Smith went missing. Michelle Smith further claims in the suit that Cooper did not tell her “of the serious nature of the events of the preceeding days, her son’s actions, threats of physical harm to himself or others”, when she was called. The suit concludes with a jury demand and an award “in excess of $25,000.” Western Brown Superintendent Peggy McKinney had no comment on the suit, citing the pending litigation.
Unemployment falls in Brown County CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Statewide, the jobless rate fell to 6.9 percent from 7.3 percent. The unemployment numbers in Brown County for March and April are very similar to the same time period last year. As in 2013, the jobless rate in Brown County in March of 2012 was 10.0 percent. In April of 2012, it dropped to 8.4 percent. Only seven counties in the state had unemployment
numbers in double digits in April, led by Pike County at 12.0 percent. The others are Meigs at 10.9, Morgan at 10.6, Scioto at 10.5, Huron and Adams at 10.3 and Vinton at 10.2. Brown County had the 18th highest jobless rate in the state for April, a position that has not changed very much in the past year. The lowest unemployment rate in the state in April was in Mercer County at 4.1 percent.

called me. I took a look, and sitting in the Union Township Public Library’s fund was a big chunk of money. It had been put into the fund, but it had not been distributed to the library.” Hall said that during her investigation she found other entities that had money on the books that had not been paid out. “I saw the Brown County Public Library, the Senior Citizens and ABCAP. They were pretty big amounts of money, so I began to look around to figure out what was what.” Hall said the money is generated by the homestead property tax exemption and is reimbursed from the state twice a year. “What it looks like to me over the past couple of years, that money was put into their funds, but it was never distributed to them and they never knew they had it.”, Hall said. Hall added that she is confident her office and employees are following proper procedure. “Any issues that are occurring with an audit are prior to me taking office, and I’m doing all I can to comply with the auditor. We want to make sure that we distribute the money correctly and that we’re handling county money correctly. Everyone is doing their part to handle the money correctly, bring in as much money as we can and comply with the state auditor.” Current State Representative and former Brown County Auditor Doug Green said that things were also done properly while he was in office. “To the best of my knowledge everything was executed properly and in a timely manner during my tenure. As the audit process continues and the facts are known, we will be able to address any issues or concerns that may arise. I’m sure the new auditor will implement any changes necessary to prevent any further issues.”, Green said. Green said the payment issue could possibly be traced to a personnel transition in the office. “That responsibility has always been delegated to the fi-
nance department. However, we did have some turnover in the finance department and, if in fact that was overlooked, I was never made aware of that. I would have to look at what the documentation has to say before I can make a clear statement.” Regarding the reconciliation between the auditor and treasurer, Brown County Treasurer Connie Patrick said the issue was discovered in October of 2012. The two amounts differed by eight cents, and were centered around payments made by the county to the Ohio Public Employees Retirement System. “The numbers out of the auditors office that were reported to my office were different than those reported to the bank”, said Patrick. Patrick said that OPERS assesses penalties to entities that do not make or report payments on time, and that right now, the Treasures office is showing $2666.10 less on hand in the bank than her records indicate. Patrick said she believes OPERS has assessed penalties to the county in October, November and December. Those penalties are assessed starting at ten days past a payment or reporting date, and continue to be assessed at 20 days and 30 days past each months deadline. “When OPERS assesses a penalty, they just take it out of your account.”, Patrick said. “I won’t know for sure what penalties have been assessed and when until I get that information from OPERS or from the state auditor.” Information requested from OPERS about the penalties assessed had not been provided at press time. Patrick said she and Hall are now reconciling thier accounts on a weekly basis to make sure that any problems detected are addressed as quickly as possible. Regarding the reference in the modification to "dealer sales tax in the Clerk of Courts”, Brown County Clerk of Courts Clark Gray said the auditors office is referring to an investigation into missing funds in the Title Office. Following the discovery,
Gray terminated the employment of employee Heather Tapp in July of 2012. “I had seen enough information at that point to reasonably believe that she was the person responsible for the offense”, Gray said. “I could not justify keeping her on administrative leave with pay knowing what I knew.” An audit of the title office is still underway, and any possible charges that will come out of the investigation will be handled by the state auditor’s office. Gray said he has been instructed by the state auditor’s office not to speak about any specifics regarding the ongoing audit. The issues regarding the Brown County Office of the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services were addressed by Director Mitch Sharp. He said they were the result of three overpayments made to child care providers or clients. “In one case, there was some documentation of names of children that were provided by a day care provider and we could not verify that the care was provided.” Sharp said he asked the Brown County Sheriff’s Office and later the state auditor’s office, to investigate. “There was an overpayment in that case in the neighborhood of $800 or $900 that the state recommended we recover.”, Sharp said. “We also found a couple of cases of potential fraud where providers were overpaid because parents were bringing children for care during hours that they were not actually working.” Sharp said the clients involved were being provided day care benefits, and that both of them have paid the money back to the state. The state auditors office also requested that the Brown County Health District provide another $4400.00 to pay for that entities audit, doubling the expense of the procedure. The modification explanation referred to “poor records” as the reason for the additional expense.
WB extends contract to Superintendent McKinney CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 “Just like at district, I took a 100 question test and a role play and the top 10 made it to the finals. Fortunately I got 4th place and moved on to the internationals at Anaheim California, which included participants from the United States and Canada. It was a lot of fun, we went to Universal Studios while we were there.” He explained that the competition consisted of a 100 question test, this time it focused more on hospitality and a little bit of marketing associated with hospitality. “Then I had to do two different role plays. If I made the finals I went on to a third role play, but I didn’t make it. But I’m only a sophomore so I have two more years to compete in DECA and there’s also collegiate DECA, so hopefully I’ll make finals in the next two years. According the Western Brown DECA instructor Michael Goins, senior Grahm Griffith also competed in Anaheim after placing second at the state level and although he didn’t win at the nationals, he placed in the top eight percent with his scores. During Superintendent McKinney’s report to the board, she stated the Mt. Orab Elementary School teacher Tina Kidd recently received the Franklin B. Walter Outstanding Educator Award. “As most of you remember she also just recently received one of the Hopewell Awards,” McKinney said. “This award kind of continues from there. We should all be very proud of her.”
McKinney also discussed the May 9, Academic Award Ceremony and how nice it was. She said it was not well attended because there were several activities going on at the school on the same day. “In the last couple of weeks we’ve received the preliminary scores from the OGT, (Ohio Graduation Test). This test was taken by the sophomores and it looks like, very preliminary, in writing we received an 89%, reading 90%, math 89% social studies was at 83% and our struggle has been in science, it was at 78%. “These are much better numbers than last year, especially in the science test. Right now we are higher than that 75 percentile in all categories which is where we need to be to receive all our indicators which are so important.” McKinney added that the district has not yet received its report on the attendance rate. She said the school also received the “Excellent” rating banner from the Ohio Department of Education for school year 2011-2012. Western Brown curriculum director Jina Bohl handed out an update on the third grade reading guarantee, Race to the Top, Title 1 budget forecast and the new universal assessments for social studies and science teachers. She explained that currently all Ohio schools are waiting on Senate Bill 21 to go through the senate. It has passed through the House already and if the bill passes it will lift the requirements for K-2 teachers from being cre-
dentialed and revise the types of intervention service training that count towards credentialing. “We are depending upon the Teacher Assessment that will be administered in the fall of 2013,” Bohl explained. “We will be reporting to the state on each child’s status of “On Track” or “Not on Track” in reading, math and writing. We are also required to report what interventions have been done with all K-3 students, individually, who are considered “Not on Track.” We will retain students in 3rd grade reading who do not pass the 3rd grade reading requirements.” Bohl added that starting next year 4th grade to 9th grade teachers will be administering the Pro-Core Assessments to collect data on student growth. Following an executive session the board approved the following items: • accept retirement of bus driver Richard Cohorn, custodian Jacob Sentman, bus driver Ralph Egbert, teacher Corinne Burns; • employ Wendel Donathan as social studies teacher, Rebecca Groves as math teacher, Andy Wood as language arts teacher; • employ Kyle Brunsman as intervention specialist; • employ Peggy McKinney as superintendent effective May 21, 2013; • approve several field trips and had a first reading the new teachers evaluation system, set to be approved at the next meeting; • the board also approved the five-year forecast; • tabled an issue regarding athletic admission prices.

Fair book cover winners announced The theme for this year’s fair is: Brown County FairA County Reunion. This last month has reminded me how true this has become. We spent a pleasant evening with friends and old classmate Vern and Joy Creighton. After many years of being teachers and a Principal at Russellville Grade School they have started a new business. With their extended family members they have opened their own winery - Indian Spring. Many friends, neighbors, and family attended the pre-opening and wish them and their family good luck at the Indian Spring Winery. Georgetown had a reunion with their Grant Day Celebration. Even before the Brown County Fair’s history began they were making history with President Grant’s Birthplace. 1850 was the first Brown County Fair. Many of the Underground Railroad paths ran through Brown County and onward North. Then there was Morgan’s Raid through Brown County. The Brown County Fairgrounds was used as a staging area for troops during World War 1. 1942 and 1943 during World War II the Agricultural Society decided not to have a Senior Fair. Brown County Fair-A County Reunion is a year of enjoying family and the history of your county. Now that spring has shown itself to be here in Brown County please make it a point to visit the Fairgrounds and see the 42nd Charity Horse Show. The Horse Show Committee will have classes for all breeds for you to enjoy. Nancy Connor is preparing the grounds for this event that will be held June 6 - 8. All profits from this event go to the Hospice of Hope-Ohio Valley. Another great horse show event is the Brown County Horseman’s Association 2013 Summer Shows. They also help put on the Saturday Western Horse Show at the fair. This group has been helping the Junior Fair

Mother Nature, nor CCD, can keep Rockets from sectional title MASON-- Mother Nature did her best to intervene, as did a persistent and pesky Cincinnati Country Day squad, but Stephen Pappas and the rest of the Fayetteville baseball team were not to be denied this time around. Thanks to a few clutch hits, another strong Scottie Mullis effort on the mound and some fine defensive work, the Rockets got past CCD, 3-1 at Prasco Park, to capture just its second baseball sectional title ever. It wasn’t easy, though. The Rockets had to overcome three different rain and lightning delays that lasted over a combined 90 minutes to hold off an Indians team that loaded the bases in the bottom of the seventh before Mullis induced a fly out to wrap up its first sectional title in three straight trips to the sectional’s final game. No matter how long it took, it was a fulfilling victory for Pappas and the Rockets, one the Rockets lone returning senior couldn’t have dreamt was possible earlier in the season. “We’re such a young
team and at the beginning of the year there’s no way I thought we even be in this position,” Pappas said afterward, “so to clinch the sectional it’s a pretty great feeling.” It was Pappas who got the Rockets on the board in the first inning. Teammate Dion Barber started an opening inning rally with a bloop double to left field. Cody Shaw followed with a walk. That brought Pappas to the plate. He promptly singled to center to drive in Barber and push the Rockets out ahead, 1-0. It was at about that point that Mother Nature began to intervene. Rain halted play in the bottom of the first inning for just a few minutes and the teams were able to get back to action pretty quickly. Once Mullis got out of the first inning after the first weather delay of the night, the Rockets doubled its lead. Timmy Crone started the rally this time around when he hit a hard grounder off the third baseman that allowed him to reach safely. Cody Meyer followed with a walk to put two on with one out.
Andrew Wyder/THE BROWN COUNTY PRESS
Stephen Pappas connects with a RBI single in the first inning on Wednesday evening at Prasco Park in Mason. The hit gave Fayetteville a 1-0 lead over CCD.
Barber, who was 3-for-4 at the plate with two RBI and a run scored on the
night, wasted little time as he lined a single to center that plated Crone and made
it a 2-0 game. The Rockets may have only collected five hits off Indians pitching on the night but they made them count as three knocked in runs. “They’re clutch players, for the most part,” Fayetteville coach Tim Carlier said of his hitters. “I know the one thing, they’re not scared to go up to the plate. I coached teams where there were kids who were nervous or scared to go up to the plate. But these guys are confident when they go up. It makes a big difference.” The Rockets held on to its 2-0 lead when a lightning strike halted play immediately after Mullis grounded out to the end the top of the third inning. This time the delay was for a little over 30 minutes but, again, it seemed to have little effect on the Rockets. Mullis immediately came out and retired the Indians in order in the bottom of the third. And play started moving a bit more briskly as the game wore on with Mullis and Indians starter Elliot Cofer finding their respective rhythms. It wasn’t until the fifth
inning before either team was able to rally. Thanks to an error -- one that Mullis himself committed when he threw wide of first on a bunt attempt -and a pair of walks, the Indians loaded the bases with one out and the heart of its batting order due up. CCD cut the lead in half on a single to left that made it a 2-1 game. The Rockets weren’t out of the woods yet, however, as the Indians still had the bases loaded and one out with three hole hitter Austin Rickey coming to the plate. But that’s when Mullis made a big pitch. He got Richey to hit into his second double play of the night, this one on a tapper back to the mound. Mullis threw to Pappas for the force at home and he threw down to first to complete the inning ending double play. For a team that struggled mightly early in the season defensively, the Rockets have become quite formidable in the field at just the right time. Both players and coaches alike attribute that to a chemistry the young team has developed as the season wore on as well as CONTINUED ON PAGE 15
Big fifth inning propels Lady Broncos to sectional victory
CMYK
BY Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press Suddenly, with one swing of the bat, McNicholas shifted momentum in a game that, to that point, felt solely in the Western Brown softball team’s favor. It was with that swing that Gabbie Latreille hit a three-run homer for the Lady Rockets. With its comfortable five run lead quickly cut to two, the Lady Broncos needed to respond when they came to the plate in the fifth inning. And, boy, did they ever. The Lady Broncos answered Latreille’s homer with an eight run rally, one that wrapped up a 13-3 runruled, five inning Western Brown victory in the second round of Division II sectional play. In that bottom of the fifth, the Lady Broncos sent 12 batters to the plate, connected on nine hits and plated the eight runs that turned a two run advantage into a 10 run victory. “We showed a little heart,” Western Brown coach Blaine Wallace said. “They had a chance to get back in it and we just immediately pounced right back on them.” Through the front four innings last Thursday, the Lady Broncos looked to be on its way to an easy victory. They had manufactured a pair of runs in the second to take a 2-0 lead and added to its lead in the third and fourth innings. Josie McElroy contributed to plating all three runs, first when she doubled and came around to score on a passed ball in the third and then when she knocked in two runs with a single in the fourth to make it 5-0 in favor of the Lady Broncos as the game headed to the fifth inning. The lead seemed more than safe with how well Morgan Nickell was pitching. She had retired nine of the first 11 Lady Rockets batters heading into the fifth.
Western Brown wins second straight sectional title The Lady Broncos had to fight long and hard but they came through in a Division II sectional final on Tuesday night at Milford High School with a 3-2 win over Wilmington in 11 innings. “It was an exciting and tense game,” Western Brown coach Blaine Wallace said in a phone interview on Wednesday. Both teams scored a run each in the third inning but would not dent the plate again until the 11th. Wilmington scored a run in the top of the 11th to finally take a lead, 2-1, but the Lady Broncos answered in the bottom half of the inning. Brittany Palmer and Josie McElroy each walked to lead off the inning. Morgan Fischer followed with an infield single to load the bases before Hope Jamison walked to force in a run and tie the game at two apiece. An out later, with the bases still loaded, Kasey York worked a walk to force in another run, which, of course, was the winning run. The Lady Broncos walked 12 times as a team in the win. Morgan Nickell got the win in the circle after pitching all 11 innings. She allowed just the two runs and struck out seven. Nickell also had three of team’s five hits -- a single, double and a triple. The Lady Broncos (18-7) now move on to a DII district final on Saturday at Mason HIgh School where they’ll play Kenton Ridge at 2:00 p.m. Wallace feels pretty good about his team as they head into its second straight district final appearance. “The last three of four games we’ve played pretty well,” Wallace said. “The last two years we’ve seen them turn it on (at the right time).”

Morgan Nickell delivers a pitch against McNicholas last Thursday evening. The Lady Broncos junior pitcher was on top of her game against the Lady Rockets and against Wilmington in the sectional final on Tuesday night.
It was in the fifth inning that McNicholas finally broke through. Meaghan McGraw led off the inning with a bloop single into center but Nickell battled back to strike out Carly Dugan for the first out of the inning. She then induced Paige Jones to hit a grounder towards third. McElroy, who Wallace said is battling through some knee issues, couldn’t cleanly field the ball, allowing Jones to reach safely. An out later, Latrielle came to the plate. She hit a long fly ball that got out over the center field wall to cut the Lady Broncos lead to two, 5-3. The pitch to Latrielle was likely the only pitch
Nickell, who pitched all five innings and gave up just three hits and the three runs while striking out seven and walking none, would have liked to have back. “She made one bad pitch,” Wallace said of Nickell. “They did what they should do. They hit it hard. Other than that, she was good.” Knowing they needed to respond, the Lady Broncos came out swinging against Lady Rocket pitcher Abby Jones in the bottom of the fifth inning. Nickell, who was 3-for4 at the plate with two RBI, led the inning off with a double to right center. Kasey York followed with CONTINUED ON PAGE 14

The University of Rio Grande may have come into the picture late but it turned out to be perfect timing for Lauren Stacey. That’s because Rio Grande ended up being exactly what Stacey, a senior performer for the Western Brown girls track and field team, was looking for. The senior thrower signed her letter of intent with the Red Storm on Tuesday at Western Brown High School to continue her athletic career on the next level. Despite overtures from other schools, and Rio Grande coming to the party at the very last second, Stacey just felt like the NAIA school located in Galia County in southeastern Ohio was just the perfect fit for what she was looking for. “When we took a visit down there I really liked it,” Stacey said Tuesday afternoon. “I really the environment, I really liked the school. I really liked the coaches. It just seemed like a conducive environment that was really going to help me and take me where I wanted to be in the long run.” Stacey, who is in her first year at Western Brown, has saw much success throughout her high school career. She earned back-to-back trips the Division II state meet the past two years in both the shot put and discus while competing for Bethel-Tate. Her highest finish at the state meet was in 2011, when she placed eighth in the shot put. This season for the Lady Broncos Stacey has earned plenty of success as well. She has won the shot put and discus events at many of the meets she’s competed in, including taking home the Southern Buckeye Conference-American Division titles in both the shot put and discus on May 14-15 at Western Brown. She won the shot put league title with a throw of 39-11 and the discus title with a throw of 126-01. And Stacey added to her strong season at Division I district meet on Wednesday at Mason High School. She won the shot put at the district meet with a throw of 41-1.25, which assured her a place at the Division I district meet at Welcome Stadium in Dayton on May 29 and 31. She’ll look to do the same thing in the discus when she throws in the district meet in Mason on Fri-

day afternoon. Among her other accolades, Stacey is third in the state in the hammer throw with a toss of 135 feet. When she last threw javeline, she was 14 and finished second at nationals. Those achievements caught the eye of many college coaches, including Rio Grande coach Bob Willey. Willey was very pleased
to have Stacey join the Red Storm on Tuesday. He looks for Stacey to find much success under the tutelage of Red Storm throwing coach Burt Wood, who has helped the Rio Grande women to league titles in all of the throwing events at the Mid-South Conference meet in his six years as coach. “It’s a good fit with what

our reputation is in throwing,” Willey said. He continued, “We’re thrilled. With her best throws, looking at this year’s conference meet, she could have won all four events.” Working with Wood and Willey at Rio Grande was a part of the reason Stacey decided on attending the school. She felt it was a school where she would be pushed to achieve her best. “I wanted an environment where I would be challenged. I don’t just go somewhere and be the best and that always be what I go off of,” Stacey said. “I wanted to go somewhere I where I’m going to be challenged and somebody is going to challenge me.” Before she gets to Rio Grande, though, Stacey has her eyes set on advancing to state for the third straight year. It will be a tougher task to achieve that accomplishment this year as she’ll be competing in the Division I tournament this year opposed to Division II. That’s not something that Stacey looks at as a deterrent. In fact, she looks forward to the challenge. “I’ve competed against these girls before,” Stacey said of competing in Division I. “I competed against them in indoor and I’m confident in my abilities to keep up with them. “I like that I’ve competed against them before and I like competition that they provide.” And so far, she’s doing just fine.

Kristen York, Western Brown’s No. 9 hitter who was 2-for-2, got one run in with a sacrifice fly to left to make it 6-3. The contributions the Lady Broncos got from the bottom of its lineup -- its 78-9 hitters went a combined 6-10 with four RBI -- was another reminder of how good this Lady Bronco offense is, one that Wallace went as far as to say is the best in his 14 years as the Lady Broncos coach. “Even in the past the bottom of our order sometimes hasn’t produced the further we’ve gotten,” Wallace said. “I feel pretty confident this year. Are they gonna hit .600? No. Are they gonna hit? They’re gonna get their share of hits, too.” A run-scoring single from leadoff hitter Bri
Stacy and a two-run triple by Lindsey Harvey helped the Lady Broncos build a 93 lead. Brittany Palmer got another run in with a bloop single to left before Nickell knocked in a pair with a single to right in her second trip to the plate in the inning to get the Lady Broncos a nine run advantage, 12-3. Jamison hit a run-scoring single to center, her second hit of the inning, to cap the eight run rally and the runruled victory. With all the numbers added up, it was another impressive offensive performance for Western Brown. All nine Lady Broncos had at least one hit in the victory, including six who had at least two. They pounded out 16 hits overall. “We’re really good at adjusting in the second and third time we got through the lineup,” Wallace said. “Everybody usually starts hitting.”

More turkey hunters successful in 2013 spring hunting season Ohio’s wild turkey hunters checked 18,391 birds during the 2013 spring hunting season, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR). The state total is a four percent increase from 2012, when hunters harvested 17,646 birds. The 2013 harvest total is a combination of the youth turkey season and the spring turkey season, April 20-May 19. A total of 348 turkeys were killed in Brown County, down two from last year. The ODNR Division of
Wildlife estimates that more than 70,000 people hunted turkeys during the spring wild turkey season. Prior to the start of the spring hunting season, ODNR Division of Wildlife biologists estimated the wild turkey population in Ohio to be 180,000 birds. Hunting licenses purchased now are valid throughout the 2013-2014 hunting season. Spring turkey permits are good for spring season only. Those participating in the fall turkey season will need to buy a fall turkey permit.

Fayetteville shortstop Timmy Crone makes a throw to first base during the Rockets sectional clinching win over CCD on Wednesday in Mason.
A single and a walk with two outs loaded the bases for Cofer, the Indians left handed starter and cleanup hitter. But, again, Mullis made a big pitch. He got Cofer to fly out to left field to wrap up the school’s first baseball sectional since 2007. “Scottie’s a good pitcher. He’s a low ball pitcher. He doesn’t have the most speed in the world but what he lacks in speed he makes up for by hitting his spots,” Pappas said of his battery mate Mullis, who picked up his second straight postseason win. He added, of the final pitch of the night, “Big stamina. That was huge for him. I know I was nervous
as heck.” It may have been frustrating (rain delays) and a little more exciting (the last inning) than he might have hoped, but the win was as sweet for Carlier as it was for his players. He’d coached his team to the sectional final the last two years only to come up short. It took a team that has improved immensely since the beginning of the season to finally help Carlier break through. “Oh, it’s great,” he said, simply. The Rockets moved on to play Russia on Friday, May 24 at Centerville High School in a Division IV district final game. The game began at 5:00 p.m.
Ripley doesn’t look far for its new girls basketball coach BY Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press

With former coach Chris Coleman stepping down recently, Ripley didn’t have to look far for its new girls basketball coach. In fact, they looked just down the bench. Kent Caudill, the Ripley junior varsity coach the past two seasons, was named the new Lady Jays head man on May 13. His first high school head coaching job, Caudill, an Aberdeen native, is thrilled to get the chance. “I'm very fortunate and very excited about the opportunity,” he said in a phone interview on Thursday morning. Caudill replaces Coleman, who spent the past five seasons as the Lady Jays head coach. But with his work responsibilities making it harder and harder to fulfill his coaching duties, Coleman simply felt it was the precise time to step down, especially now that his daughter is about to enter high school. “With the job I do, it's just getting harder and harder, the time you got to put into it,” Coleman said over the phone on Wednesday. “It's been in the back of my mind the last couple years. It just felt like the right time.” He’ll depart after coaching basketball at the high school and Jr. high for the past 16 years across all lev-
els -- seventh and eighth grade, freshman, junior varsity and varsity for both boys and girls. Coleman’s final season with the Lady Jays was a memorable one. They fin-
ished the season 15-8, including 10-3 in the Southern Hills Athletic Conference, which was good enough for a second place finish in the league behind only undefeated Fayetteville. “The senior class was a good group. They care about the game,” Coleman said of the group he moves on with. “They want to get batter at it. It's just a good group.” Caudill will inherit a Lady Jays team that will have to replace that talented five person senior class who helped lead the Lady Jays the past few seasons, including a sectional finals appearance two years ago and that runner-up finish in the SHAC last year, but the cupboard is hardly bare. The Lady Jays return four returning varsity players from a year ago -Haley Payne, Kelci Bowling, Jaden Royal and Lydia Pfeffer -- and will see sev-
eral players move up from the JV squad Caudill has spent the last two years coaching. The new Lady Jays coach is confident the group will find success. “Very confident with them. I think we'll be very competitive in the league,” he said. “Although, I think Coach Sheets in Fayetteville, he doesn't lose anybody. He'll be the team to beat, I think. I feel like we'll be competitive. These girls work very well together.” Having spent the past two years working with team as the JV coach, Caudill is very comfortable with this group. “I got a good relationship with the girls and they respond to me very well,” he said. Caudill, who graduated from Mason County High School, will lead a Lady Jays team that will look very similar to what folks have become accustomed to with Lady Jays basketball. He feels his style of basketball is familiar to that which Coleman ran. “I'm similar. I'm a very defensive minded coach. As far as the style of play, I like an up tempo if I can get them to do,” Caudill said. “For the most part, we'll run pretty much the same he did. Like I said, the girls that are here now are accustomed to how he ran things.”

CHILLICOTHE-- All that was lacking for the Eastern baseball team on Tuesday night was the ability to get that key hit in a big situation. The Warriors did most everything else pretty well. They got a solid pitching performance, strung some hits together and played good defense. However, the problem with that was that the Warriors opponent in its Division III district semifinal at VA Memorial Stadium, Zane Trace, did what the Warriors could not. They got the clutch hit. The Pioneers got two big hits in the first inning with runners in scoring position, and one more in the second, that turned out to be the difference in Zane Trace’s 5-1 victory that ended the Warriors season. “We had several opportunities where we put runners on and just never did get a big hit,” Eastern coach Dave Mignerey succinctly summed up afterwards. Blake Bunch, Eastern’s starter, got off to a good start in the bottom of the first when he battled back to strike out the Pioneers leadoff hitter. Things went downhill from there. Three straight Zane Trace singles loaded the bases with one out and brought Pioneer designated hitter Phil Heskett to the plate. Heskett promptly hit a rope to deep center field for a bases clearing double to give the Pioneers an early 3-0 lead. A Colin Swackhammer single to center -- off Josh Boudreau’s glove in centerfield despite a nice diving effort -- plated another run that gave the Pioneers a 4-0 lead after one inning. Though Bunch didn’t pitch all that bad, he was just missing his spots early on. “He struggled a little bit with his control even though he wasn’t walking people,” Mignerey said of his senior right hander. “He was having trouble putting his pitches where he wanted, no doubt. I felt like

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 13 some key defensive shuffling. “In the beginning of the year it was error after error after error. That’s what lost most of our games at the beginning of the season,” Barber, who moved positions twice this season before landing at his current post at third base, said. “Now I think that we’ve come to grow as team (and) as a family. It helped us a lot in tonight’s game.” That strong defense helped the Rockets keep its lead, one they added to in the top of the seventh inning. Cody Meyer hit a bloop double to left with one out in the seventh to put a runner in scoring position. Barber promptly delivered another big hit, this time a single to left that scored Cody Holden, who came in to run for Meyer, to make it 3-1 in favor of the Rockets. Then, once again, Mother Nature struck. With the threat of severe weather approaching, play was delayed yet again. This time the delay lasted for over an hour. Having to start, stop and sit for such long stretches wasn’t easy but the Rockets adjusted pretty well. “It’s always rough to stop then to get rewarm again but it didn’t seem to bother us too much,” Barber said. When play finally got going again, after 8:30 p.m. by this point, the Indians were getting ready to come to plate for what was possibly the final time on the night, trailing by two runs. Mullis, who pitched a complete game while giving up six hits, walking six and striking out three, got himself into a bit of a two out jam in the seventh.

he had good stuff, as far as he had good velocity, but he was just struggling to locate.” The Warriors got one back in the second. C.J. Knight, who ended the night 2-for-3 at the plate, hit a line drive to center for the Warriors first hit of the night. He wound up with a triple on the play when he hustled around the bases after the ball got past a diving Pioneers center fielder. Grant McIntosh wasted little time driving in his teammate as he hit a pop single into shallow left field that plated the run and cut the Zane Trace advantage to three, 4-1. That would also be it for the Pioneers starting pitcher Swackhammer, who came out of the game after giving up McIntosh’s single because of a back injury that flared up. Heskett came in to relieve Swackhammer with one on and one out. He induced Clay Broughton to pop out to third before Brandon Hornsby came up

and singled to left. McIntosh went to third on the play and Hornsby hustled to second base on the throw to third. It looked like Jacob Granger was going to work a walk to load the bases before Heskett battled back and got Granger to softly ground out to shortstop and end the Warriors threat. Even though both teams collected eight hits apiece, the Warriors couldn’t get a hit with runners in scoring position. They left McIntosh and Hornsby in scoring position in the second, Austin Williams in the third and Josh Boudreau in the fourth inning. They left a total of seven men on base. That became even more disappointing considering how well Bunch pitched after the first two innings. He wound up pitching all six innings, giving up the eight hits (all in the first two innings) and five runs while striking out five, walking one and hitting one batter. Bunch retired 12 of the last 14 Zane Trace hitters he faced. But, in the end, the Warriors had just dug themselves a hole too big to climb out of. “The game was pretty much decided there in the first inning,” Mignerey said. “They hit us for a four spot there in the first inning and we never recovered from that.” All wasn’t lost for the Warriors with the game. It was still a very successful season, all things considered. They finished the season with a 15-12 record, including finishing 10-3 en route to a Southern Hills Athletic Conference Division I title. And with its 2-0 win over Northwest last Saturday, the Warriors earned a sectional title. No matter the ending, the Warriors banded down the stretch and played some pretty good baseball. “They really played, I thought, really well the last couple weeks of the season,” Mignerey said. He added, “I was actually very happy with the way the season went.”
