Gas pipeline coming through county BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press Natural Gas and its byproducts will be moving through Brown County in the next couple of years. The proposed Bluegrass Pipeline will run from eastern Ohio down to Kentucky. The proposed date for the pipeline to become operational is late 2015. The 1100 mile project is being spearheaded by the Williams company out of Tulsa, Oklahoma and Boardwalk Pipeline Partners, a company with an extensive pipeline network in Texas and Louisiana. The pipeline will be buried three feet underground, allowing property owners to continue to be able to use their land. “Landowners whose properties may be affected by the proposed route will be contacted by a land representative. The first step is to ask permission to conduct
surveys on their property, that’s the stage we’re in right now.”, said Tom Droege, Media Spokesperson for the Williams company. The company plans to ask landowners for a fifty foot easement on their property to build the pipeline. Landowners who agree will be compensated one time. “Bluegrass pipeline is committed to offering a fair price for any required easement. Offers for easements will be based on a fair value based upon fair market prices and the number of acres needed for the privilege of establishing a permanent easement. The owner will retain ownership and permanent use of the land.” Droege said that the vast majority of landowners his company deals with accept the compensation offered. However some do not. “If we are not able to reach an agreement with a particular landowner, we will look
at rerouting the pipeline.”, Droege said. Droege added that the project was anticipated to get off the ground so quickly because over half of it is already complete. “The beauty of the Bluegrass Pipeline is that over half of it is already in the ground. We are converting an existing natural gas pipeline that is already in the ground from Hardinsburg, KY on south.”, he said. “By taking that approach, we’ll be able to put the pipeline in service sooner and reduce our environmental impact footprint.” Droege also said that there are some anticipated local economic benefits that will result from the pipeline construction. “We do anticipate that there will be an opportunity for some employment in conjuction with the pipeline construction. We’re working on specific county by CONTINUED ON PAGE 10

Storm cuts power Straight line winds knocked down trees and power lines in Brown County on June 13. These power poles were knocked down on Hillcrest Road. Power was out to the entire Mt. Orab area for about two hours.
"Oh my god!, Oh my god!, Somebody just shot my brother, he's dying!” That’s how the 911 call from Darrell Mootispaw reporting the shooting of his brother James Mootispaw began on the night of June 7. Mootispaw was allegedly shot by Joe Trzeciak at the Hyde Park apartments in Mt. Orab just after ten p.m.. The call continued with Darrell Mootispaw describing what was happening outside. “He's out in the front yard of Hyde Park. He just got shot like seven or eight times, the dude that shot him is Joe Trzeciak from Florida. (Is he breathing?) I don't know, I don't know, I'm not

Bumbalough plans to run for Sardinia Mayor BY Martha B. Jacob The Brown County Press Sardinia Mayor Todd Bumbalough announced at the June 10 council meeting his plans to run again for mayor of Sardinia in the upcoming election. Because Bumbalough entered the wong date on his petition to run for mayor last year, he ran for council member and was then voted in as acting mayor by full council. He now has to run again for mayor to finish out the four-year term. Later in the meeting,
Mayor Bumbalough stated that the old run down Commercial Hotel that was located in the center of the village has been torn down. The 124 year old Hotel has been an eyesore in the village for many years, and council has been trying to get it torn down. After being purchased by new owners, they have worked with the village on having it removed. “I would really like to thank Kenny and Heather Doss, the owners of the building, for all their cooperation in bringing it down” CONTINUED ON PAGE 10

Disaster Drill held in county to sharpen skills BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press A mock disaster drill in Mt. Orab gave local and regional public safety agencies a chance to flex their muscles on June 12. The scenario involved a wreck between two trucks on State Route 32 at Eastwood
Road that resulted in a leak of Chlorine gas. In the scenario, the highway was closed in both directions and an evacuation of local residents took place. At the scene of the accident, “victims”, were decontaminated by the Mt. Orab Hazardous Materials Response Team, with assistance
from other local first responders and fire departments, including the Fayetteville Fire Department. Firefighters approached the victims by spraying down a protective barrier of water in front of them, while other rescuers could be seen wearing the “space suit” perCONTINUED ON PAGE 16

The village of Aberdeen will be receiving 12 new pole mounted Christmas decorations to be placed along U.S. 52 which runs through the village, thanks to the efforts of members of the Aberdeen Concerned Citizens (ACC). According to Shari Stafford, charter member and organizer of the ACC, the group has been working hard to raise the money needed to purchase the new decorations. “We are very excited about the purchase of these much needed new Christmas decorations,” Stafford said. “We were able to buy these new decorations through personal donations, a vacation raffle and a very kind and generous donation by Aberdeen resident Annette Mineer.” Stafford explained that several ACC volunteers will be refurbishing eight of the older decorations currently owned by the village. “We will also be placing three very special decorations on the poles along the cemetery on U.S. 52,” Stafford added. “Those decorations are thanks to a donation by the family of Bertie Lang.” She continued, “With the 12 new purchases, the three Lang donations and the eight refurbished ones, it gives us a total of 23 pole mounted decorations. There are a total of 35 poles along U.S. 52, but we are well on our way.” She stated that in addition to the holiday decorations the ACC will be decorating the Aberdeen Community Park. “Last year volunteers refurbished six of the old pole mounted decorations and placed lights on various trees in the park,” she said. “This year we plan on providing a special tree that will be a 21 feet tall garland tree with a three-foot topper. It will be 74 inches in diameter. This tree, for the park, just pops up for

use and then can be taken down easily for storage.” Stafford said the ACC is planning a community tree lighting ceremony and the tree will become the official Community Christmas Tree.
“We have been so blessed,” Stafford said, “this beautiful tree wasdonated by the Felix family in memory of Lee Felix. We will also be placing 11 new fiber-optic ornaments at the park which were donated by Rose and Terry Teegarden.” Stafford added that both the new and the old decorations will be commercial LED lighting. “The Aberdeen community has been asking for new holiday lights for a number of years now,” Stafford said, “The ACC has been working diligently to honor that request. However, commercial Christmas decorations are very costly and wouldn’t be possible without the many donations from members of this community and all the volunteers and ACC members.” The cost of each new decoration averages $350 and to refurbish the old ones, the cost averages $175. To help the ACC with this project, donations can be mailed to the Aberdeen Concerned Citizens, P.O. Box 54, Aberdeen, Ohio, 45101. (Please specify that your donation is for the Christmas decorations fund). To become a member of the Aberdeen Concerned Citizens, Stafford can be contacted at (937) 795-2573.

BC Chamber organizes committee to help businesswomen network As the Brown County Chamber of Commerce moves forward in it’s efforts to strengthen and support the overall business climate in the county, it has formed a new committee especially designed for business women. The new Women’s Networking Committee was formed to help businessness women throughout the county network with each other, according to committee chair, Summer Tyler. Tyler recently announced the first meeting for the committee for Tuesday, June 25 at 2 p.m. at the chamber’s new location, 103 North Main Street in Georgetown. “Women in business often perform multiple functions in their businesses and are often too busy running the company to promote it,” Tyler said.

“Other women who work in offices are not allowed to leave the office for lunch meetings or network over a game of golf, as do many men in business. “It’s often these same women who purchase sup-
plies and select the contractors and vendors needed by the business. They are not only vital to the day-to-day running of the business, but they can creat important connections that could lead to increased business through new accounts.” According to Tyler, as of 2012 it is estimated that there are over 8.3 million women-owned businesses in the United States, generating nearly $1.3 trillion in revenues and employing 7.7 million people. Tyler feels that there is a need to strengthen the presence of women in the Brown County area. “Generally speaking,” Tyler explained, “women make most of the buying purchases for their home and for their families. They are the driving force behind many kitchen and bathroom remodels, family photos, clothing purchases and selection of doctors and dentists. Women have
the decision making authority and purchasing power that make them a powerful networking force.” Tyler said that women need to get out from behind their desks and meet other women in business. “This Women’s Committee will create networking opportunities for working women,” she added. “This committee hopes for a mix of formal and informal events where women can share their concerns about career and community, meet new contacts and create healthier, more profitable businesses. During this first organizational meeting the committee will be determining a calendar of events in addition to selecting future meeting dates and times. “Those business women who wish to participate in this committee should bring their business cards with them,” she added. All
business women from the community are invited and encouraged to attend” This meeting is free and will include desserts and refreshments. For more information
about joining the committee, contact the Brown County Chamber of Commerce at (937) 378-4784 or by email to Summer Tyler at summer@wemoveheat.com.

Letters to the Editor
Stand up to an intrusive government Dear Editor, I believe that Washington has our Constitution under attack as never before, at least in my lifetime. It started back at the first of the year by President Obama on the Second Amendment trying to restrict our right to bear arms, then it moved on to the First Amendment with the IRS targeting conservative groups and their right to free speech, and now we find our Fourth Amendment rights have just been trampled on with quite a vengeance by the NSA. Spying on every Verizon customer in the United States it appears as I write this. Patrick Henry said: "The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government-lest it come to dominate our lives and interests." The government has dominated our lives, as far as our phone conversations and internet searches go. I wonder what Patrick Henry would say today if her were here to see how far we have fallen away from the Founders?
James Clapper-Director of National Intelligence, said the revelation of the intelligence-gathering programs as reckless and said it has done: "Huge, grave damage." It has damaged him, because he told Congress he wasn't spying on the American people, well guess he was wrong, huh? And you know what really burns my biscuits about this? Russia called our government and told them that the brothers who bombed the Boston Marathon were a possible threat, they handed them to us and what did they do? Said nothing to see here folks move on and didn't follow up. And look what happened, three people dead, and hundreds injured. No, instead of actually checking on the bad guys and keeping an eye on them, our government wanted to listen to our Dominos orders and see what we are ordering off of Ebay. Brothers and sisters we must take action now or our freedoms are all going to be taken away. Some politicians are calling Edward Snowden a traitor for what he did, but who be-
trayed the American people first? James Clapper and this current administration? You think about that. He just tried to make it right and let the people know what was going on. I heard today that John McCain said what Snowden did was wrong, McCain doesn't want us to waterboard possible terrorists, but he finds it ok to spy on our own people! Is that logic not backwards? Is that what the Founding Fathers would have wanted? I think not! Patrick Henry also said:" The liberties of the people never were, nor ever will be, secure when the transactions of their rulers may be concealed from them." That is why Clapper and others are upset, because they got caught with their hand in the cookie jar. The evil they have been doing is now known by everyone and they are upset. They overreached what the Patriot Act allowed. Which by the way, I was never a fan of the Patriot Act, it is an example of what happens when something bad happens and we want to fix it fast. It can come back
and bite you later on, and look what happened. These people in Washington need to understand that they work for us, we do not work for them. We pay them, we vote them in and we certainly can vote them out. The mid-term elections are coming up fast, we need to make some serious changes in 2014, and then the Presidental election will be in 2016, do not forget this, let us make some changes to get our country back on the right course and get some good, solid, commonsense people in our government. Question the candidates on the Constitution when they run, see where they stand so you can make a good informed choice. And that is another area that we need to work on. Informing ourselves and our family and friends so they can make an informed decision. I know some people don't like to talk about politics, but if you don't talk about politics, there may be a day when you can't talk about politics, please don't let that happen! Kevin P. Jodrey Russellville

With the warmer weather we see a larger number of motorcyclists on our roads, enjoying the many scenic routes dotting the Brown County countryside. Sounds like fun, doesn’t it? Unfortunately, however, motorcycle riders are much more likely to be hurt or killed in crashes than people riding in other types of motor vehicles. Studies show that per vehicle mile traveled, motorcyclists are about 37 times more likely than a passenger car driver or rider to die in a traffic crash. And a large percentage of all deaths due to motorcycle crashes involve another vehicle. Most of these crashes are caused by the other driver, NOT the motorcyclist. So we all need to do our part to help keep motorcycle riders safe on our roads. That’s why the traffic safety partners of the Brown County Safe Communities Coalition remind you to “Share the Road” and share some tips from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration with those of you who drive cars, trucks, SUVs, and vans. Never drive, bike, or walk while distracted. And remember that a motorcycle has the same rights and privileges as any other vehicle out there on the road. Although motorcycles are relatively small, give the motorcyclist a full lane motorcycle width—that needs room to move about safely. Because motorcycles are small, they can be more difficult for other road users to see or judge their speed and distance as they approach. When checking traffic to turn at an intersection or into
SUSAN BASTA or out of a driveway, always figure that a motorcycle is closer to you than it looks. Motorcycles are also more likely to be hidden in your vehicle’s blind spot or blocked out of your sight by objects or backgrounds outside of the car (such as bushes, bridges, or fences). So when you’re changing lanes or turning at intersections, always look a bit longer for motorcycles. In fact, make “Look Twice and Save A Life” your rule of thumb while driving this time of the year. I’ve often heard other motorists complain about motorcyclists, stating that they often change speed or adjust their road position within a lane suddenly and without little or no warning. Here’s why this can happen: Those road conditions that you might not give a second thought to while driving a larger vehicle can be major dangers for someone riding a motorcycle! The motorcyclist may need to adjust speed or position very quickly in reaction to road or traffic conditions such as potholes, gravel, wet or slippery surfaces, grooved pavement, or railroad crossings. What this means for you is that you need to allow for a little more space, or “following distance”, between your vehicle and the motorcycle than you would need between your vehicle and another car or truck.

BY Martha B. Jacob The Brown County Press Ripley Mayor Tom Leonard and Ripley Village Council members welcomed Kristel Salisbury Titus, from the Ripley Lions Club to talk about the upcoming July 4th Fireworks, sponsored by the Lion’s Club at their June 11 meeting. “We are in the process of getting all our fireworks ready for the 4th of July celebration,” Titus said, “I am here to request the village to drop the line in town so we can get our sign put up and flashing.” She continued, “We are having something new this year, WFTM is going to be broadcasting music during our fireworks display and hopefully some of the businesses can have their own announcements put on air during the fireworks.” Titus said she thinks adding WFTM should generate even more interest in the event. She also said that a complete list of all the events that will take place during the celebration will soon be listed in the paper. Before Titus left the meeting, council made a $500 donation towards the upcoming fireworks show. She said the festivities will run Friday, July 5 and Saturday, July 6. The fireworks will be Saturday night at dusk. Mayor Leonard thanked Titus for updating council and said that the fireworks display as well as the July 4th celebration is good for the community. In other business at the June 11 council meeting, Leonard asked for approval from council for the appointment of new firefighter Brandon Black. Council confirmed the appointment. Village Administrator Charles Ashmore told council that in the past the village has sent out subpoenas to residents who had failed to file their income taxes to the Village of Ripley through RITA (Regional Income Tax Agency). “RITA is asking us again to authorize them to do the administrative subpoena process,” Ashmore said. “The expense to us only $8 per subpoena issued. RITA is only here two times a year.” Ashmore stated that
RITA sends out warning letters first before issuing subpoenas. He added that the majority of the public responds to the first letter sent out. Council approved the action allowing RITA to issue subpoenas. Fiscal Officer, Leslie Meyers told council that a recent audit on the village had been completed but she had not yet received the results. Ashmore reported that he had received 19 applications for the general labor position in the village. He said interviews to reduce the number of applicants would be taking place in the next few days. “Also, the paving job in the village will begin the end of June, because the company doing the job wants to move in at one time and do everything at once,” Ashmore said. “We’re going to pave a section of Main Street to Stevenson Road and they’re also going to pave McDonalds parking lot. That way they won’t have to move their equipment around as much.” Ashmore also shared information with council about the upcoming dedication of the new John P. Parker Park, scheduled for Sunday, June 23 at 2 p.m. Solicitor Jay Cutrell advised council to act on an ordinance to enact a 3% “Video Service Provider Fee” ( replacing a franchise fee), paid by Time-Warner to the village. Cutrell explained that in 2007, the franchise fees
were done away with by the Ohio Attorney General’s office. However the village has the right to charge a video service provider fee for the same amount, up to 5%. Cutrell then stressed that the current contract with Time Warner expires in July of this year so action should be taken right away. Fiscal officer Leslie Myers told council that last year the fund generated $12,000 for the village which was deposited into the general fund. Following a brief discussion by council, the ordinance was passed by council (for 3%) as an emergency. Councilman Scott Eagan, however, voted no on suspending the rules, questioning why it had to be rushed. Before entering into executive session, council heard from Joann Otto, chair for the Ohio Farmers Festival (formerly the Ohio Tobacco Festival) and festival committee member Jerry Schumacher about the upcoming event. The festival is scheduled this year for August 22 through 25. “This year’s festival has changed quite a bit,” Otto stated, “One of the big changes is adding Lee Greenwood as our big performer on Saturday night. He should be quite draw for this year’s festival and we are all excited about having him.” Otto talked briefly about all the new additions to the festival this year including: • many new vendors,

RED Perhaps you have seen or maybe even used a little booklet in which different colors represent different things such as, red for blood, green for growth, and black for sin. However, biblically speaking, that is not correct. In the Bible sin is never represented by the color black. Go with me to Isaiah 1:18: “Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.” Red is the color which represents sin in the Bible. According to the dictionary, scarlet is any variety of bright reds. Amazingly enough, my dictionary refers to Isaiah 1:18 in it’s definition of the word scarlet. Furthermore, it refers to Revelation 17:1-6 for the definition of a scarlet woman. Webster was smart enough to recognize the fact that the Bible is the greatest authority on the meaning of words. Revelation 17:1-4 states: “Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication... (verse 3) ... and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast... (verse 4) ... And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet... having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication...” Thus, the meaning of the term scarlet woman means: one who commits adultery. That term has been used for centuries. According to my dictionary there was a book written in 1850 by Nathaniel Hawthorne entitled “The Scarlet Letter”. It was about an adulterous woman. And no, I have never read the book. But it goes to show that the color scarlet throughout history has been associated with sin. So has the color crimson. It is a deep purplish red color. The woman in verse 4 was arrayed in purple and scarlet picturing the red wickedness of sin. In the Old Testament Israel’s sin of idolatry was referred to as adultery. It also tells us that the land was polluted with blood. Blood is red. Do you realize that in the second generation of mankind Abel was killed by his brother Cain? In Genesis 4:9-10 it says: “And the LORD said unto Cain,
DR. CHARLES SMITH MT. ORAB BIBLE BAPTIST CHURCH WWW.BBMTORAB.COM
Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper? And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground.” The ground can be totally polluted by blood according to the Bible. Look with me in Numbers 35:30-31: “Whoso killeth any person, the murderer shall be put to death by the mouth of witnesses: but one witness shall not testify against any person to cause him to die. Moreover ye shall take no satisfaction for the life of a murderer, which is guilty of death: but he shall be surely put to death.” The Bible advocates capital punishment. It is talking about premeditated murder, not war. But there was an exception. If a person accidentally killed another, for example: a man had an axe cutting wood and the head of the axe flew off hitting another person killing him, it would be what we call manslaughter. That person could take refuge in any one of three cities. If he left the city before the priest died a family member of the one killed could legally kill him, thereby avenging that spilt blood. That is what verse 32 is talking about. But look at verse 33: “So ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye are: for blood it defileth the land: and the land cannot be cleansed of the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it.” That is God’s law; America chooses to ignore it. Don’t discount it just because it is Old Testament, so is: “Thou shalt not steal” and “Thou shalt not kill”. Blood red, it is the color of SIN! The land of America is polluted by blood and it is not being cleansed! But your sin can be cleansed. Isaiah 1:18 says: “Come”. It is God’s invitation. “...though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow...” All you have to do is accept Christ as your Saviour.

OBITUARIES
The Brown County Press - Sunday, June 16, 2013 - Page 7
A recent article in Time magazine took an indepth look at the outrageous and unsustainable cost of our current health care system. Today I’d like to take a look at how pricing affects the prescription drugs we buy. There have been a number of studies looking at how the price of an item changes our perception of that item’s quality or effectiveness. If we don’t have a good reference we assume the more something costs the better it is. For instance, if you don’t know anything about wine and go to a wine store, your natural assumption would be that a $40 bottle would be better than the $10 bottle. For the most part you’d probably be right. This theory pertains just the same for prescription drugs. One study looked at the effect of price on placebos. The researchers made up a fancy sounding name for their new drug which had no real active ingredients. They enrolled test subjects and told them they were testing a new narcotic to see how well it relieved pain. The test subjects would see how well this new medication would relieve the pain caused by an electric shock. One group was told that the new drug costs about $2.50 per pill, while the other group was told the new medication cost ten cents per pill. Eighty-five percent of the people in the high-priced group said the placebo reduced the pain. Only 61 percent of the people in
HEALTH MATTERS TOM CALLAHAN, RPH the cheap group said the placebo relieved their pain. It seems like every time there is a new drug, new device, or new imaging machine, the price jumps up. Although the new drug, device, or machine may be better, or have some advantage over the one that is currently on the market the problem is that we don’t have an easy way to quantify how much better the new one is. If the new one is twice as good but costs five times as much, then we as a society need to find a way to just say “no”. Back when Vioxx and Celebrex first came on the market, they were all the rage. They were the favorite drug for the emergency room to use for pain. Although they were way more expensive than naproxen, they were perceived as being much stronger. Here’s the catch: there is no study showing that Celebrex or Vioxx is effective than more naproxen. The advantage of those two drugs was that they were easier on the stomach than ibuprofen or naproxen. That’s right. They aren’t stronger, they just upset the stomach less. I’m sure there are plenty of people that will swear that Vioxx worked much better than ibuprofen. Unfortunately, those
are people that knew they were taking Vioxx. As several studies have shown, even if there’s no drug in the tablet you’re taking, if you think it’s very expensive and is the best thing on the market, it will work better for you. Next time we’ll look at another major drain on the pool of money we have to pay for prescriptions. Tom Callahan is a pharmacist, he lives in the Milford area.

Share the road and save a life! CONTINUED FROM PAGE 4 Here’s another tip for safely sharing the road: Did you know that the turn signals on motorcycles are often not “selfcanceling” like they are on other motor vehicles? And since they don’t automatically turn themselves off after a turn, some riders (especially new riders) can forget to turn them off after a lane change or a turn. Be aware of this when approaching or following motorcycles with flashing turn signals— wait to be sure that the rider is going to turn before you proceed! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again-- we ALL need to do our part to help keep motorcycle riders safe on our roads. Now we have some pointers to help us do just that!

more time for family
When analyzing the role of men in the household, it's clear that those roles have changed over the years. Data from the American Time Use Survey and the Pew Research Center reveals that in 2011 men were spending far more time performing household duties than they were in 1965. Men spent 10 hours per week on chores in 2011, which is more than double the amount of time (four hours) they devoted to household duties in 1965. Despite that more active role at home, many men still feel they are not spending enough time with their children. The Pew survey, which examined more than 2,500 adults, found that 46 percent of fathers felt they weren't spending enough time as they wanted to with their kids. Professional commitments keep many men from spending ample time with their kids, and while it many not be realistic for most fathers to walk away from their careers, there are steps men can take to make more time for their families. * Don't overextend yourself at the office. Much is made of how today's youngsters have more hectic schedules than those of yesteryear. But it's not just kids who are overextending themselves. Fathers who can't say no at the office might be legends in the boardroom, but that willingness to take on extra work could be cutting into the time they spend with their families. Learn to delegate more at the office, taking on only what you can handle in a normal day's work. Taking on too many responsibilities can significantly cut into the time you have available for family. * Turn off the television. After a long day at the office, it can be tempting to come home and unwind in front of the television. But you might be spending more time in front of the tube than you think, and that time on the couch is valuable time that could be spent connecting with your family. In its 2011 American Time Use Survey, the Bureau of Labor Statistics revealed that individu-
als age 15 and over spent more than half of their leisure time watching television. While bonding over a favorite movie or television show can bring families closer together, keeping the television on as background noise during dinner or other times of the day can make it harder for families to connect and share meaningful conversation. Turn the television off when eating dinner and work to reduce the time you and your family spend in front of the TV. * Leave the office at a set time every day. The demands of a successful career can be significant, and many fathers admit to sacrificing family time for the sake of their careers. But it's possible to have a successful career and still spend more time with your family. One trick is to leave your office at a reasonable time every day, regardless of work demands. Making it home for family dinners each night can have a profound impact on your children. A survey from the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse found that the more children have dinners with their parents, the less likely they are to smoke, drink or use drugs. Men who want to spend more time with their families should make it a priority to leave their jobs at a set time each day, regardless of their workload. Technology has made it possible to stay connected to your work even when you aren't in the office, so you can always get things done at home after dinner with your family while the kids are doingtheir homework. * Stop working on weekends. Men who travel often for business or those who simply cannot get away from the office on weeknights should reserve their weekends for time with the family. Don't take your work home with you on the weekend and don't check your email until you go back to work on Monday. Work-related distractions, such as checking your email on your smartphone, can take away from the time you have with your family.

1930s, a movement arose to scrap Mother’s Day and Father’s Day altogether in favor of a single holiday, Parents’ Day. Every year on Mother’s Day, proParents’ Day groups rallied in New York City’s Central Park--a public reminder, said Parents’ Day activist and radio performer Robert Spere, “that both parents should be loved and respected together.” Paradoxically, however, the Depression derailed this effort to combine and de-commercialize the holidays. Struggling retailers and advertisers redoubled their efforts to make Father’s Day a “second Christmas” for men, promoting goods such as neckties, hats, socks, pipes and tobacco, golf clubs and other sporting goods, and greeting cards. When World War II began, advertisers began to argue that celebrating Father’s Day was a way to honor American troops and support the war effort. By the end of the war, Father’s Day may not have been a federal holiday, but it was a national institution. In 1972, in the middle of a hard-fought presidential re-election campaign, Richard Nixon signed a proclamation making Father’s Day a federal holiday at last. Today, economists estimate that Americans spend more than $1 billion each year on Father’s Day gifts.

On July 19, 1910, the governor of the U.S. state of Washington proclaimed the nation’s first “Father’s Day.” However, it was not until 1972, 58 years after President Woodrow Wilson made Mother’s Day official, that the day became a nationwide holiday in the United States. Origins of Father's Day - The campaign to celebrate the nation’s fathers did not meet with the same enthusiasm-perhaps because, as one florist explained, “fathers haven’t the same sentimental appeal that mothers have.” On July 5, 1908, a West Virginia church sponsored the nation’s first event explicitly in honor of fathers, a Sunday sermon in memory of the 362 men who had died in the previous December’s explosions at the Fairmont Coal Company mines in Monongah, but it was a one-time commemoration and not an annual holiday. The next year, a Spokane, Washington woman named Sonora Smart Dodd, one of six children raised by a widower, tried to establish an official equivalent to Mother’s Day for male parents. She went to local churches, the YMCA, shopkeepers and government officials to drum up support for her idea, and she was successful: Washington State celebrated the nation’s first statewide Father’s Day on July 19, 1910. Slowly, the holiday spread. In 1916, President Wilson honored the day by using telegraph signals to unfurl a flag in Spokane when he pressed a button in Washington, D.C. In 1924, President Calvin Coolidge urged state governments to observe Father’s Day. However, many men continued to disdain the day. As one historian writes, they “scoffed at the holiday’s sentimental attempts to domesticate manliness with flowers and gift-giving, or they derided the proliferation of such holidays as a commercial gimmick to sell more products--often paid for by the father himself.” Father's Day: Controversy and Commercialism During the 1920s and

(do you see any weapons?) No, I don't, but there were three rapid shots.” Trzeciak was arrested in White Cloud, MI by Michigan State Police on June 9. He has retained an attorney and the Mt. Orab Police Department is awaiting his extradition back to Brown County. Mt. Orab Police Chief Bryan Mount said at press time that there was not a clear motive for the shooting, but that the incident was a reflection of a growing trend that disturbs him. “It doesn’t surprise me with the increase of the amount of drugs in society, with the prescription drugs and the heroin epidemic. It doesn’t surprise me but it concerns me that it hap-
pened in the little town that I grew up in.” Mount said that the incident was the first violent murder that he was aware of in almost thirty years as a Mt. Orab resident and police officer. “As a policeman I see the violence and the drugs coming.”, Mount said. “As a resident, it concerns me that Mt. Orab is no longer a little bedroom community where you can leave your keys in your car and leave your door unlocked.” Mount said that investigators from the Attorney General’s Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation were assisting his department with evidence gathering and analysis, as well as rendering other assistance. In a press release issued June 10, Mount thanked Attorney General Mike DeWine, the Michigan State Police, the Ohio Highway Patrol, the Cler-
Can’t wait to see you at the reunion A while back Bill Neal and I were discussing how we would spend the week of the fair camping out in the loft of the small animal building. Fifty years later we have over two hundred campers camping for the week of the fair. Bill is now in charge of the campers and we have a lot of fun on Thursday before the fair. We have an area along the East Fence known as South Fayetteville where Mitch Erwin is in charge of getting the campers set. We have an area behind the old Junior Fair Horse barn known as the Bardwell bunch with Phil Hanes in charge. We have campers all around the new Junior Fair Horse Barn. Then we have the Tractor Pull Bunch who like to campout right behind the bleachers. Most of the Fair Board members and the concession people are around the old milk house. This is just another part of the Brown County Fair- A County Reunion. We visited the graves of my dad and my wife’s dad over the Memorial Day weekend. Flags were proudly displayed all over the Sardinia Cemetery. My dad and Bob served in World War II, those flags made us very proud of their contribution to their country. This year on Thursday afternoon of the Fair the veterans are honored in the center ring. Watching them standing and salute the American Flag as the National Anthem is sang is heartwarming. The pride and the heroism of these men and women can never be honored enough. Please stop and see this ceremony and give thanks to the sol-
DENNIS BROUGHTON diers of Brown County. Earlier in the year I mentioned that the Fair Board wanted to plant new trees around the fairgrounds. This fall after the fair we would like to plant at least 10 twelve foot Oaks or Maples. The cost is going to be around $200.00 a tree. Any civic group, business, or just an individual this would be a nice way to be remembered. Please call the office if interested. Work is progressing for the June 29th Brown County Summer Nationals. Signs will soon be put up around Brown County giving the details. The sponsors you see on these signs are the reason we can have our own N.T.P.A. Tractor Pull here in Brown County. Please thank them and give them your business at some time. This will be a chance for you to enjoy the Brown County Pork Producers tenderloin sandwich. I know I will. There will be plenty of good food, tractor pull merchandise, and ice cream to make a great family affair. If you have any questions about the fair, look on our website at www.littlestatefair.com.

This 80 by 56 foot building at the northeast corner of Eastwood and Hess Road in Sterling Township will eventually be divided in half with one side to become a sub-station for the Mt. Orab Fire Department, the other side for the use by the Sterling Township Trustees. The two will share expenses.
added. “This substation on that end of town will be of major importance for the safety and well-being of the residents of Sterling Township in that end of town.” Lunsford added that most of the work on applying for
the funds was done by Mt. Orab Fire Chief Lisa Reeves. “Lisa has worked very hard to get everything ready to apply for this money, and the final application was sent online on Monday, June 10.”
Bumbalough plans to run for Sardinia Mayor CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Bumbalough said. “With its removal, maybe now we will get some new business to build there. I’d also like to thank Dorothy Faris for working so hard on handing all the grant paperwork.” Bumbalough also reported that the repaving of Main Street in the village will begin in mid-July, which is part of the Revitalization Grant. Information on road closings will be reported at a later date. The closings could effect residents of Lake Waynoka. In other business at the meeting, Sardinia Fire Chief Chris Shumacher, reported to council that his department had been on eight fire runs in April and seven runs in May. He also said his department was the host station for the Adams County Training Association training. “The training session we hosted went very well, with the exception that we had a run right in the middle of it,” Schumacher stated. “Then a couple weeks later I went to West Union and attended a propane fire emergency session. We are receiving about three training sessions a month now through the Adams County Training Association.” Police Chief Jim Lewis told council that four Sardinia officers assisted in the Memorial Day parade plus two cadets. He said that approximately 300 people from the area turned out for the celebration. Chief Lewis also asked council to approve the purchase of a new hand held radar system at a cost of $1,795. Fiscal officer Karen Miller said funds were available through the professional and technical services line item. Council approved the purchase. During a special meeting that was held May 27, to discuss contracts for village trash pick-up, Councilman Tom Reifenberger moved to enter into a three-year contract with Rumpke. He suggested an amendment to the motion as follows: To go with option one, offered by Rumpke, which would retain the current monthly rate of $13.61 per household for the duration of the contract and that Rumpke will supply the trash totes free of charge. The motion passed full council. Mayor Bumbalough reported to council that he thought it would be a good idea to retain Michael Germann to mow the cemetery. “He’s done a great job in the past,” Bumbalough said, “And now he said he
would be willing to keep the back field (behind the cemetery) mowed as well, for $320. “This saves the village a lot of work and a lot of money, and Karen Miller (fiscal officer) has advised me that the money is available.” Council approved a three-year contract with Germann. “Also,” Bumbalough continued, “Tom Raines has given us an estimate on cutting down four dead trees in the cemetery near the Nazarene Church. A couple of them could cause some serious problems if they fall on the Church due to weather.” Bumbalough said Raines offered to drop the trees for $250, then the village would be responsible for removing them. He agreed to return at a later date and give the village an estimate for stump grinding. Council approved the action. Councilman Art Hoovler recommended that for every tree that is taken out of the cemetery, one should be planted to take its place. Councilman Jaunita Watson suggested that perhaps the trees could be donated by residents who would like a tree planted in memory of a loved one. (If anyone is interested in donating a tree, contact Miller at (937) 446-3807). The mayor said the final estimate for the construction of the new basketball court and skatepark at the village

Droege said that the products carried by the pipeline are becoming more valuable to the economy. “Demand for Natural Gas Liquids is growing. Those are Ethane, Propane, Butane and Natural Gasoline. These are the building blocks for many things we use every day.”, he said. “Examples of NGL based products are car bumpers, adhesives, instrument lenses and even toys.” Droege said that the Williams company has a website, www.blue grasspipeline.com, that would allow local residents to keep track of the progress of the pipeline and get answers to any questions they may have. “We want to be good neighbors and create a dialogue with land owners and communities.”, he said.

park would be opened and read on Tuesday, June 11. He asked council to allow himself and village administrator Tim Mock to award the project to the lowest estimate, instead of waiting for approval at the next council meeting, since it had to be approved by the end of June. Estimates have been received by Greg Richmond Concrete, Cooper Excavating and Jeff Wilson. Council approved the recommendation to allow Mock and the mayor to award the job. Council also had its second reading of an ordinance authorize all action necessary to affect an optout electric aggregation program pursuant to the Ohio Revised Code for the Village of Sardinia. Through the aggregation program the village might be able to save its
residents money on electric services, according to Bumbalough. A special council/public meeting has been scheduled for Monday, June 24 at 7 p.m. to hear from residents of the village. The third and final reading of the ordinance will be held at the June 24 meeting. The issue will be placed on the November ballot for residents to vote on. As a final action by council, members voted to raise the mayor salary from $2,500 annually to $3,900 annually, and raise council member’s pay to $60 a month. Solicitor Jay Cutrell was asked to draw up the paperwork on the raises so that council could make the changes before the upcoming election. Changes would take effect in January 2014.

The back half of the building will be used by the township trustees to house their equipment and other items.

Hamersville second graders present Readers Theatre On May 30th Mrs. Glenda Barr and Mrs. Paula Rankin's second grade students at Hamersville presented a School
Reader's Theatre program for their families and friends. Reader's Theatre is an activity practiced throughout the school year
that promotes word recognition, increases reading vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension. Students read a variety
of poems. They read poems about school, weather, seasons, friends, animals, and safety. Poems were read as one large choral group,
small choral groups, and individually. Props were used to illustrate poems and enhance their performance. We wish to extend our
appreciation to everyone who attended Reader's Theatre this year. Families, friends, and students enjoyed the program.

the different architecture periods, elements and famous architects throughout history. While in Chicago the students, parents and teachers visited the Navy Pier, Millennium Park, and the Magnificent Mile. They explored the top of Willis Tower (formally Sears Tower) which is America’s tallest building.

On their last night in the city the group went back in time to spend a night at Medieval Times, a dinner theater show where they students watched the King’s most powerful knights fight to champion of the night.

sonal protective gear. After securing the scene and clearing a decontaminated way in, the rescuers tended to the victims, who were then decontaminated before being taken to Southwest Regional Medical Center. The Mt. Orab Police Department also participated in the event. The full scale drill was coordinated by the Brown County Emergency Management Agency. Director Beth Nevel said that “the drill was intended to test our plans and capabilities to best extent possible in a simulated disaster.” Nevel said that the exercises always pay off. “We discover gaps in per-
formances, we look at where the needs are, whether they are training, equipment or planning. We will take the information from this exercise and look for any gaps or improvements that we can make and further our planning and training.” “This was an extremely complex exercise. We had four separate venues that had to be coordinated at the same time with well over 150 players. We involved a lot of community agencies in this exercise that learned to communicate with each other in a more effective way.” Events were taking place at the simulated accident scene on Eastwood Road, the Emergency Operations Center and Southwest Regional Medical Center in George-
town and the simulated shelter at the Mt. Orab Church of Christ. “This type of exercise makes all of us better prepared to help our citizens in case of an emergency event.”, Nevel said. She added that members of the general public can take lessons away from the disaster drill as well. “People need to personally prepare for an emergency”, Nevel said. “We need citizens to be tuned in and be educated on how to take care of themselves when they hear disaster information come down through the media.” The exercise also satisfies a requirement from the Ohio Emergency Management Agency that calls for a “live” exercise every four years.

After 39 of service to Grant Career Center, Superintendent Kenneth Morrison has announced his plans to retire in July 2013. Ken started his career with the U.S. Grant Joint Vocational School District in 1974 as the director of the newly formed vocational school district in the southern portion of rural Clermont County. He directed the building of the school from the ground up, designing programs, outfitting labs, and filling the chairs with students. He became the Superintendent in 1980 at the age of 34. He is currently in his 32nd year as Superintendent. Much of the career center’s success can be attributed to his longevity and continuous leadership. Ken has worked to keep Grant Career Center on the forefront of technology and pushed for other innovative practices to serve the everchanging needs of the district and the regional workforce. He has been proactive throughout his career, meeting each new educational plan and directive with highly creative and successful plans to exceed the expectations of the staff and the community. Before his time at Grant, Morrison also worked for the Cincinnati Public
Schools and the Western Brown School District as teacher and Vocational Director. Morrison was recently honored as the Ohio School Board Association Superintendent of the Year for the Southwestern Region. As part of the nomination, Public Relations Director Pam McKinney sited Morrison’s many outstanding attributes. “Ken has many outstanding qualities that have allowed him to direct his district to longterm success. He is a visionary man who believes in people and empowers his staff to take ownership of their career center and do what is best for the students of the district. He is a great steward of the district’s finances and strives to meet the needs of the community. He works diligently to improve the region’s economic sustainability so that Grant Career Center graduates can lead successful lives in their own communities. He is committed to excellence and models that behavior for staff and students as he lives by the motto, ‘It is never the wrong time to do the right thing’.” Morrison was honored and humbled by the award that was given on March 12, 2013 at the OSBA Southwest Re-
gion Spring Conference. In a statement to staff, Morrison said, “I would like to thank all the Board
and Staff members that have been an inspiration to me over the years and have supported me with great
enthusiasm. I have always loved working with you and appreciate the lasting friendships. I will miss my
second family and the community I so eagerly served.”

On Saturday, June 29, at 2 p.m., the Williamsburg Harmony Hill Association will sponsor a program about "The Travels of the Grant Birthplace", presented by Greg Roberts. After Grant's death in 1885 the U.S. Grant Birthplace became an iconic shrine to the famous general and 18th president. Hundreds of thousands of people including many Civil War veterans visited the birthplace cottage - not in Point Pleasant but in Cincinnati, Columbus, and many other places as the birthplace was removed and toured the country. It took 50 years to bring it back to Clermont County. Mr. Roberts is a local historian and currently Vice-President of Historic New Richmond, Inc. They have managed the Grant Birthplace for the Ohio Historical Society since 1990. The program is free and open to the public at the
Harmony Hill Museum, 299 South Third Street, Williamsburg. Call (513) 724-7790 or (513) 7243657 by Wednesday, June 26 to register.

Two place at State Track and Field Championships BY Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press
B R O A D S H E E T
COLUMBUS-- The prevailing notion that arose following the State Track and Field Championships last weekend at Ohio State University was that, no matter how things played out last Friday and Saturday for the six local track and field athletes who earned the chance to partake in the event, they were putting the finishing touches on outstanding seasons. For five of those young men and woman, that gallup around the track inside Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium or those throws into the sand in the fields across the street were the capstones on what were outstanding high school careers. Still, it didn’t end up being the storybook ending that any of them may have been looking for. All six faced tough competition and did all they could to overcome a few issues that sprung up to finish as well as they could against the best the state had to offer. Two placed in their respective events while another finished less than one second from doing the same. Yet no one let whatever disappointment there was linger around all that long. They all had a litany of accomplishments to fall back on -- and exciting futures to look forward to. “It went better than I thought actually, honestly. I was nervous,” Georgetown senior Jess Adamson ad-

mitted after finishing third in the Division III shot put. “It happens. I look at the state meet as not even a big deal. If I would have won, cool. But I'm collegiate. That's where the big boy stuff happens.” Similar sentiments were shared by fellow shot put competitor, and friend, Western Brown senior Lauren Stacy.
“I'm happy with it. It's not the place I wanted. Everyone wants to place higher,” Stacy, who finished eighth in the Division I shot put, said on Wednesday. “Being top eight in the state is awesome. You can't really ask for anything more than that.” Adamson headed to Columbus last weekend with the most experience
on the state level having competed at the state meet the three previous years. Still, Adamson, as he stated, was still a little nervous competing at state despite his experience. He fought through some early struggles to throw the eight pound shot put 57-8 with his final put in the prelims on Friday afternoon. “It felt nice. It was very calming,” Adamson said of the throw. “Very calming.” The G-Men senior thrower had two puts over 55 feet in the finals but neither was better than his throw of 57-8, which counted as his best throw of the afternoon despite have been thrown in the prelims. The throw was good enough for a third place finish, the second straight year Adamson finished third in the event. David Rootstown’s Paliscak won the title with a throw of 62-5.25. Liberty Center’s Nick Demaline finished second with a throw of 59-11.75. The finish was a little disappointing for Adamson but he was more focused on what lies ahead afterward. He’ll head to Northern Kentucky University in the fall to compete for the Norse. “It's third place, man. I know it's the whole state. (But) ever since I was a kid I wanted a state championship,” Adamson said. “I guess I can go chase something else now.” That something else will happen in college, something Adamson is very much looking forward to.

Western Brown thrower Lauren Stacy competes during the Division I shot put competition last Saturday afternoon at the State Track and Field Championships in Columbus.
“Oh, yeah. I'm excited,” he said. “Getting paid to do what I like.” Stacy went into the Division I shot put event on Saturday afternoon feeling good. She’d thrown well in
practice and felt like she was in position to meet her goals of breaking 43 feet and finishing among the top seven. It didn’t quite work out that way. CONTINUED ON PAGE 19

Western Brown volleyball camp very successful The Western Brown volleyball camp hosted 92 young ladies during its four-day camp that took place last Monday through Thursday at the high school gym. High school coaches, led by Lady Bronco varsity coach Carla Fite, and varsity volleyball players instructed the campers on the fundamentals of passing, setting, serving, hitting and floor work. Campers worked on those fundamentals each morning and took part in the tournament play each afternoon. Tournament play was divided into two pools -gold pool for seventh and eighth graders and the brown pool for nine to 12th graders. The winning team in the gold pool featured Faith Becker, Emily Cooper, Sidney Vance, Hope Becker, Rylie Young, Mary Sizer, Caroline Ellis and Savannah Haggherty. The winning team of the brown pool featured Leah Leist, Kristen York, Brooke Lindsey, Kaitlyn Witt, Maddie Cornberger, Cierra Richey, Hannah Nuhn, Tessa Shaffer and Allison Zahn.

Ohio. Her throw of 144-05 was the third best among all the girls who competed despite having only practiced once in the previous month. But even though Adamson and Stacy both were able to fight through and place, things didn’t work out quite as well for Georgetown’s Nick McAfee and for the G-Men 4x800 relay team. In McAfee’s case, it wasn’t because of what he did or didn’t do.
It came down to the fact that he was running in a loaded field. Running for the second straight year in the Division III 1600-meter run, the GMen senior performed very well. McAfee ran the race in 4:25.06 on Saturday morning, which was faster than he ran as runner-up at the regional the week before. This time, though, he finished ninth, one spot from placing for a second straight year.
His time was almost a second better than he ran the 1600 in 2012, his first year at state when he placed eighth. “He ran it faster but just placed worse. He ran smart and more strategically,” Georgetown track and field coach Tracy Hawkins said on Wednesday. “I'm not disappointed in him but for him because I know how much he wanted it. He ran well.” McAfee strategically started from the back and methodically worked his way up to a placing spot with about 200 meters left in the race. But the field was just too strong and a few runners passed him in the final stretch to push him off the podium. “The last two hundred everybody else outran him. Not everybody else but eight guys did,” Hawkins said. Tri-Village’s Clayton Murphy won the event in 4:11.72, which set a new Division III state meet record. Runner-up, Cory Glines of St. Thomas Aquinas, finished in 4:11.83 and also broke the state meet record. Things may have just not gone his way despite running a good race in the 1600-meters but that wasn’t the case when McAfee and the 4x800 relay team ran on Friday morning. McAfee and his 4x800 relay teammates Kyle Damen, Logan Lucas and Jake Cropper came into the state meet having run well all season long and figured to be among the top teams in the event. Outside of McAfee, however, the relay team had never been to state and Hawkins felt that may have had something to do with their 16th place finish in the event.
Eastern dominates SHAC spring sports BY Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press It’s a bit of an understatement to say that the three county Southern Hills Athletic Conference schools had pretty good spring sports seasons. Six spring titles were up for grabs this spring and one of either Eastern, Fayetteville or Ripley won five of them. Local spring student-athletes, coaches and teams were honored at the SHAC Spring Sports Banquet on May 28 at Fairfield High School. Eastern had the best spring of the local SHAC schools as they won four titles, one in each sport. The Lady Warriors soft-
ball team earned a Gold Ball for its undefeated run to another Division I title. Eastern’s Dennis Forsythe was selected as the league’s softball Coach of the Year. A strong season from the Fayetteville softball team ensured that local teams would sweep the softball races in the SHAC. The Lady Rockets finished 11-2 to capture the Division II title, the school’s first softball title since 2001. While a pair of local teams dominated the softball races, all three schools saw its baseball teams in contention for baseball titles all season long. Eastern was able to outlast its Division I counter-
parts to take home the title. The Division II title was eventually won by unbeaten Whiteoak but the Wildcats had to get through runner-up Ripley and third place Fayetteville to win the title. Eastern student-athletes capped off its stellar spring season by capturing both the boys and girls titles at the SHAC Track and Field Championships that took place on May 10 at Manchester High School. Rain did little to slow down either the Lady Warriors or Warriors as they rolled to titles. Both Lady Warriors coach Tom Glasscock and Warriors coach Mark Day were selected as the girls and boys track and field

They got behind at the start and never had a chance to challenge. “I think the nerves just got the better of them. It's a totally different experience up there,” Hawkins said. “They can be prepared for it, and they were, but if you don't get the opportunity to run big meets it can be tough up there.” Obviously, the race at state was disappointing for the 4x800 relay team. That shouldn’t persuade anyone
that they didn’t have a great season, however. Or that they don’t have bigger and better things ahead of them. “One of the things I told them, and they were disappointed, ‘The one thing you need to know isn't, I blew it. You're season doesn't end here. This is their beginning,’” Hawkins said. “We talked to the college coaches and they're like, ‘It's okay. We can't wait to get our hands on them.’”

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 18 She struggled to find the consistency she had found in practice as she opened the prelims with a throw of 38-1 and then fouled. Stacy was able to bounce back with a put of 40-4.5 on her third throw of the prelims, which got her into the finals. But she just couldn’t find it. She fouled her first two throws of the finals before throwing a little less than 39 feet. Her throw of 40-4.5 held up, though, as she took home an eighth place finish in the event. “Considering the course of my throws over my event, I was like you know what? I placed,” Stacy said. “And I guess I'm the first girl to place from Western in anything. So that's kind of cool to know that.” Olentangy Orange’s Katelyn Daniels won her second straight title in the event with a throw of 51-2, which set a new girls Division I record in the shot put. Daniels and the rest of a talented field competing in the event performed well at state and Stacey is hopeful she’ll be able to do the same when she heads to compete at Rio Grande University in the fall. “It was nice to see everyone step up and hopefully I'll be able to do better in college to step up to a level of competition when I need to,” she said. “I did it at districts. I did it regionals. On Saturday I didn't do it. I need to get my mind right when I'm going to big competition and I just haven't learned to do that yet.” Stacy followed her performance up in the shot put with a third place finish in the Ohio Milesplit State Hammer Championships on Sunday at Ohio Wesleyan University in Delaware,

WB’s McIntosh earns trip to Blue-Grey Super Combine BY Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press The Blue-Grey combine was an opportunity that Derrick McIntosh simply decided was just too good to pass up. Initially, the Western Brown incoming senior football player wasn’t going to partake in the Midwest Football BlueGrey combine at Paul Brown Stadium in Cincinnati on May 19 when his coach, Broncos head coach Evan Dreyer, gave him some information about the event. The combine offers high school football players the chance to showcase their abilities to a bigger audience, particularly to colleges. Knowing he wanted to get his name out to college coaches after finally making it on the field his junior season for the Broncos last year, McIntosh eventually decided to take part in the Midwest Combine. It turned out to be a good choice. McIntosh performed well enough to earn an invitation to compete in one of two Blue-Grey Super Combines on June 21-22 at the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio. “I was excited to meet new people and everything,” McIntosh said on Tuesday of deciding to participate. “It actually turned out really great.” Over 2,500 high school football players took part in the 11 Blue-Grey Regional Combines that took place over the course of two months, beginning on March 16 in Oxnard, Cal. and ending on June 9 in Foxboro, Mass. From that large pool of players, just 170 players were selected to take part in each of the two Blue-Grey Super Combines. McIntosh was picked to compete at the Super Com-

bine after performing well enough among the 150 players who took part in the combine at Paul Brown Stadium. Players did such drills as a forty-yard dash, broad jump, vertical jump and bench pressed 185 lbs. at the regional combines as well as some individual drills based on position. A linebacker, McIntosh showcased his athletic and football abilities well on the big stage. “This was a great combine for him to showcase his talents. To be selected for the national combine is great thing to compare himself to national talent,” Dreyer said. “He has spent the offseason improving his overall body strength, endurance and speed.” A couple of weeks after participating at the regional combine, McIntosh received a letter that presented him an opportunity to compete in the super combine in Canton.
He is looking forward to taking part in the combine next weekend. “I'm excited,” he said. “I get to find out how talented I am because, like I said, the competition is a lot better now.” By being selected to participate in the in the super combine, McIntosh has given himself the opportunity for some more exposure. He also has the opportunity to be considered for a spot on the Blue-Grey roster for the Blue-Grey National All-American Game set for January, 11, 2014 in Tampa, Fla. McIntosh isn’t focusing on that when he heads to Canton, though. He just wants to take advantage of the opportunity presented him. “I'm trying to get people to look at me from colleges,” he said, “and get better at my position group for games this season, my senior season.”

Jacobs, Wilson retire from CTC After longstanding careers in education, science teacher Kathy Jacobs and long-time carpentry instructor Jim Wilson announced their retirements in May. Mrs. Jacobs has taught at Southern Hills Career and Technical Center for eighteen years, and prior to that taught at Williamsburg and Fayetteville schools. Mr. Wilson has been with Southern Hills for thirty-five and one-half years and besides carpentry, taught CAD and safety classes. He was also chairman of the Local Professional Development Committee (LPDC). An interesting point that Mrs. Jacobs mentioned is that she and Mr. Wilson entered the same class in kindergarten on the same day and are now retiring at the same time from the same place. Pictured above are retirees Kathy Jacobs and Jim Wilson.

Massey Magic for EMS 6th Grade Introduction by Mrs. Boling May 28, sixth grade middle school students in Mrs. Boling's math classes had the pleasure of participating in a class taught by guest speakers, Steve Massey and his son, Keenan. Together, father and son challenged each class to solve and think logically and often think "outside the box." Keenan wrote about a few of their "tricks" in the article below.

On May 28, 2013, my dad and I presented logical thinking and reasoning problems to sixth grade math classes. We presented many tricks and difficult math questions with simple answers. Some are un-explainable, like balancing a fork and a spoon on a toothpick on the edge of a glass. That is really reverse/canceling gravity. Another is simple when revealed, but challenging at first, like taking a dollar bill out from beneath a bottle without touching the
bottle or knocking it down. You roll up the bill and the bill will push the bottle off slowly. Did you know you can balance a soda can on its side at 45 degree angle? All you have to do is fill the can up 1/3 of the way with water. How about an egg straight up and down? Well, there is an air pocket at the bottom of the egg, so when you crack the air pocket, the egg will balance. Another trick was the bouncing dime trick. What happens is a dime will
jump into a cup without touching it. You think it is impossible right? Well, it isn't. What you do is build up air and apply air pressure on the dime. Then the air will lift it into the cup. Finally, it is possible to pull a coin out from underneath a match which is leaning on another match? Yes! If you light the point where the matches meet on fire the match on top of the coin will lift up. You can try these at home but the ones that involve fire be sure to ask adults to supervise.

with Grant Amateur Radio Club ham radio operators and see for themselves what the Amateur Radio Service is about as hams across the USA will be holding public demonstrations of emergency communications abilities. This annual event, called "Field Day" is the climax of the week long "Amateur Radio Week" sponsored by the ARRL, the national association for Amateur Radio. Using only emergency power supplies, ham operators will construct emergency stations in parks, shopping malls, schools and backyards around the country. Their slogan, "When All Else Fails, Ham Radio Works” is more than just words to the hams as they prove they can send messages in many forms without the use of phone systems, internet or any other infrastructure that can be compromised in a crisis. More than 35,000 amateur radio operators across the country participated in last year's event. "The fastest way to turn a crisis into a total disaster is to lose communications,” said Allen Pitts of the ARRL. “From the earthquake and tsunami in Japan to tornadoes in Missouri, ham radio provided the most reliable communication networks in the first critical hours of the events.
Because ham radios are not dependent on the Internet, cell towers or other infrastructure, they work when nothing else is available. We need nothing between us but air.” Grant Amateur Radio Club will be demonstrating Amateur Radio communications at 11401 SR 774, Bethel, Ohio 45106 on Saturday, June 22 and Sunday, June 23, 2013. They invite the public to come and see ham radio’s new capabilities and learn how to get their own FCC radio license before the next disaster strikes. Amateur Radio is growing in the US. There are now over 700,000 Amateur Radio licensees in the US, and more than 2.5 million around the world. Through the ARRL’s Amateur Radio Emergency Services program, ham volunteers provide both emergency communications for thousands of state and local emergency response agencies and non-emergency community services too, all for free. To learn more about Amateur Radio, go to www.emergency-radio.org. The public is most cordially invited to come, meet and talk with the hams. See what modern Amateur Radio can do. They can even help you get on the air!

Pesticide License and Testing Over the past five months we have offered the opportunity, for anyone needing a pesticide license, to take the required exams locally. I would like to thank our host for these dates, the Old Y Restaurant. I believe it has worked out well with the exams starting at noon. Several people have arrived early enough to eat lunch prior the exam and some have eaten after they completed the exams. I think a few ate before and after. Just a few years back we only offered the exams twice each year, but the number of people signing up for the exams has shown the need for more testing dates, so we expanded to three dates, last year we went to four dates and this year we have had five and will offer a sixth date in August. The date will be August 12 so we will continue with the second Monday of the month at the Old Y Restaurant being the date for the exams. Just to clarify who needs a license. In a nutshell there are two different kinds of license for applying pesticides. The two are: Private and Commercial. A private license is for applying restricted pesticides on your own property. This is the one most farmers need to apply pesticides to crops, livestock areas, grain storage, etc. The commercial license is needed for ANYONE who applies pesticides for pay or on public property. This includes the pesticides that can be bought by anyone at any local retail store like roundup or insecticides at a public park, church, school or other public places. More information can be found at http://pested.osu.edu or call Ohio Department of Ag. You need to register for
DAVID DUGAN OSU EXTENSION SERVING ADAMS, BROWN AND HIGHLAND CO. the exams at http://pested.osu.edu or call the Ohio Department of Agriculture at 800-282-1955 and go to Pesticide Regulations which is ext. 3 then 1. There is no charge for taking the exams. By signing up early you can obtain study materials. There is a cost for study materials and a license. Custom Rates for Farm Work At this time of the year, I often get calls concerning the cost of doing things on the farm. The calls can be from plowing, cutting hay, baling hay, bush hogging, etc. There is a custom rates sheet for this. This is put together using a survey from throughout the state, including local farmers. The 2012 survey results can be found at our local OSU Extension web page. Simply type in the name of the county.osu.edu, this is an example adams.osu.edu. Then go to the Agricultural and Natural Resources page. I also have a tobacco custom rates sheet from a couple of years ago. SOACDF Planning Meeting Dates The planning meeting dates for the Southern Ohio Agricultural and Community Development Foundation (aka: The Tobacco Foundation) are set for early July. Remember, as in the past, the application period

Intestinal parasites of dogs and cats The major intestinal parasites of dogs and cats are hookworms, roundworms, whipworms, and tapeworms. Three of these can potential health hazards to people. Contrary to popular belief (old wives' tales, etc.), dogs and cats do not get pinworms. Hookworms and roundworms both produce microscopic eggs that are passed in the pet's stools. These eggs hatch into larvae capable of penetrating the skin, then migrating in the body tissues until they become mature intestinal worms. Upon penetration of human skin they can produce disease of the skin and many internal organs including the eyes. Tapeworms produce segments that resemble grains of rice that pass in the stool and are consumed by the larval stages of fleas. When the subsequent adult flea is ingested by the pet the tapeworm egg in the flea becomes a mature tapeworm in the intestine. If a flea is accidentally ingested by a person (usually a child), a tapeworm may partially develop before the person's natural resistance will reject the parasite. Whipworms inhabit the lower intestinal tract of dogs and sometimes cats and produce microscopic eggs that are infective for pets but not for people. All of the intestinal parasites are capable of causing various gastrointestinal diseases, including vomiting, diarrhea, weight loss, loss of appetite, intestinal obstruction, anemia and sometimes death.

Despite the Internet, cell phones, email and modern communications, every year whole regions find themselves in the dark. Tornadoes, fires, storms, ice and even the occasional cutting of fiber optic cables leave people without the means to communicate. In these cases, the one consistent service that has never failed has been Amateur Radio. These radio operators, often called “hams” provide backup communications for everything from the American Red Cross to FEMA and even for the International Space Station. Grant Amateur Radio Club “Hams” will join with thousands of other Amateur Radio operators showing their emergency capabilities on this special weekend. Over the past year, the news has been full of reports of ham radio operators providing critical communications during unexpected emergencies in towns across America including the California wildfires, winter storms, tornadoes and other events world-wide. When trouble is brewing, Amateur Radio’s people are often the first to provide rescuers with critical information and communications. On the weekend of June 22-23, the public will have a chance to meet and talk
Creature Feature agement habits. A fecal examination by your veterinarian will usually detect these and other parasites so that effective treatment can be given. Many over-the-counter remedies are ineffective, poorly effective, or will only treat one of the potential problems, and could be harmful to your pet. Consult your veterinarian for his advice concerning your pet and intestinal parasites. Dr. Dan Meakin is the owner of All Creatures Animal Hospital, 1894 Ohio Pike in Amelia. Call (513) 797-PETS.
