State fines county 13K over late pension payments and reports BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press

Wayne Gates/THE BROWN COUNTY PRESS

Penalties and interest assessed to the county by the Ohio Public Employees Retirement System have led to procedure changes in the Brown County Auditor’s Office and Treasurer’s Office.

The Ohio Public Employees Retirement System penalized Brown County $13,553.91 in penalties and interest in 2012 for late payments and late reporting. The penalties center around the months of August, September and October of 2012, and have been paid out of the county’s OPERS account. Responsibility for making the reports and payments rests with the Auditor’s office. They are considered late if not turned into OPERS by the end of the following month. According to Julie Graham-Price with OPERS,

there were eight late reports submitted for the month of August between 10/24/2012 through 12/11/12. Past due payments for August were received on 10/30/2012 and 12/18/2012. Total penalties were $4,354.22 and interest assessed was $877.07. There were 8 reports submitted for August and reports were received from 10/24/2012 through 12/11/2012. Payments were received from 10/30/2012 and 12/18/2012. Total penalties were $6,244.27 and interest assessed was $1,293.32. Reports for October were received on time. Payments were received late on 12/12/2012. Total penalties

were $785.03 and no interest was assessed. The penalties assessed by OPERS are different, depending on whether the payment is employee contributions or employer share. Member penalties are assessed based upon the number of days the report and/or payment are late: From 110 days, there is 1% penalty; from 11-30 days, there is a 2.5% penalty; and greater than 30 days there is a 5% penalty. Employer penalties are assessed based upon the number of days the report and payment are late; From 11-30 days, there is 1% penalty; from 31-60 days, there is a 2.5% CONTINUED ON PAGE 10

Aberdeen loses lawsuit ‘BC five’ win court appeal BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press Shinn Brothers, Inc. has won their lawsuit against the Village of Aberdeen. Common Pleas Judge Scott Gusweiler granted a motion for summary judgement in favor of the company on May 29. Gusweiler did not award damages in the case, setting aside a date in mid-October to determine the amount that the Village of Aberdeen would have to pay the company. The amount of damages could depend on whether the

village decides to move forward with the construction of the plant. Shinn Brothers filed the lawsuit last July against the village, seeking $828,000 in damages for materials purchased and lost profits. The company submitted a settlement offer for $692,000 via a letter to the court appointed mediator in November. Shinn Brothers Attorney Timothy Heather also noted in the letter that ”Shinn Brothers would consider moving forward with the contract and building Aberdeen’s water treatment

munications Center to hire a consultant to begin the study. “We anticipate the process to last approximately six months”, said Brown County Communications Center Director Rob Wilson. “We should have some information to share with the stakeholders sometime in the fourth quarter of this year.” The leaders of Brown, Adams and Highland counties voted to explore the benefits of a regional communications center for fire, police and emergency calls earlier this year.

All is going well at the Brown County Humane Society Animal Shelter as work is scheduled to begin in three weeks on construction of several exercise yards at the facility. Efforts to raise enough money for the construction has been ongoing for several months. The first phase, construction of a 30 foot by 50 foot fenced-in exercise/run area will be the first built at a cost of approximately $2,500. “We are all very excited about these much-needed upgrades to the shelter,” said Leslie Zureick, president of the Brown County Humane Society. “Not only have we received multiple large donations from the community, but B & H Storage in Mt. Orab has donated all the chain-linked fencing we need, and then some. They are replacing all the fencing

around their facility in Mt. Orab and have donated it to us. It is in nearly perfect condition.” B & H Storage is owned and operated by Dion and Stephanie Boone and Hugh and Lisa Hauke. According to Stephanie Boone, the facility is being completely revamped, adding on to structures and replacing the fencing around the facility. “We had plans to replace this fencing all along,” Boone said, “Then one day I opened up my Brown County Press and saw where the animal shelter is in need of fencing. We’re all animal lovers here, so we called and donated it to the shelter.” “We’ve had so many other donations too,” added Zureick. “We are planning a special open house after the project is complete, and we plan to acknowledge and thank all those who made donations or contributions in any way.” Fundraising for phase two of the project are currently

underway. The second phase includes two more areas just out the back door area. It will include two 16 foot by 50 foot runs with a small alleylike area between the two runs. “Phase two which is much larger, comes at a cost of $5,500. We’ve raised about $3,000 towards it but are still running short. Hopefully more community members and businesses will give us a little more help. “We so appreciate everything the community has done so far, we can’t thank them enough.” Featured in this article are six of the many dogs now available for adoption from the shelter. Visit the Brown County Animal Shelter on facebook to view all the animals. To learn more about the plans for the exercise area please visit the shelter at 100 Veterans Blvd., next to the Ohio Veterans Home in Georgetown. To contact the shelter call (937) 378-3457.

BY Martha B. Jacob The Brown County Press The parents of pre-school students entering next school year in Fayetteville-Perry Local School District will be receiving a survey letter from the school asking for their opinion. During the May 16 board of education meeting Superintendent Raegan White told the board that he is currently considering changing the hours for pre-schoolers next year. “Currently our pre-school students attend either Monday and Wednesday all day or Tuesday and Thursday all day,” White said. “I would like to see if these parents would rather have half-days five days a week instead. “This action isn’t to benefit us, or the parents. But this move might be better for these young students. The choice is solely in the hands of the parents, we just want to offer this option. So by sending these parents this survey, we’ll have a good idea how they feel about this idea.”

In the absence of two board members, Kathleen Johnson and Angela Murphy the meeting proved to be a short one and included a brief executive session. Actions taken at the board meeting included hearing a report from FayettevillePerry High School Principal David Tatman on the preliminary results of the OGT (Ohio Graduation Test). “These are only the preliminary scores, but I am very proud of our students and our teachers,” Tatman said. “We achieved our goal in every category, and we feel good about this class of students, and the great teachers we have here at Fayetteville-Perry.” Tatman stated that in writing the students received an 89%, in reading, an 82%, in math an 86%, in social studies an 82% and in science, a 78%. These are only the preliminary numbers. In other business, according to board treasurer Jo Anna Carraher, the board approved a contract with the Balestra Company for a GAAP (Generally Accepted

Accounting Principles) audit. “All districts are required to be audited every year,” Carraher said, “And we also have to have a second audit, so weve decided to go with GAAP. They will gather all our information and put it all in a report form. I like having this audit because it shows accountability for every dime our district is responsible for.” Carraher said that the board approved the contract with Balestra as well as the five-year forecast which she had prepared for the meeting. “Like so many other school districts in Ohio, Fayetteville-Perry is one of many that have had serious cuts from the state. We are actually not spending more money that we ever have, but now our revenues in our foundation are lower than ever.” The board also agreed to a contract with A+ Online Learning with the purchase of 15 seats for the next five years at a cost to the district of $28,492. The online

classes will be offered to K12 students in the district as extra assistance. Following an executive session the board made the following approvals: • approved chaperones going on the eighth grade trip to Washington D.C. and the trip to the Newport Aquarium; • approved the purchase of a compressor from DeBraKuempel at a cost of $6,990; • approved membership to the Ohio High School Athletic Association for 20132014 school year; • approved a list of senior students to graduate May 26, 2013; • approved the 2013-2014 contract with the Brown County Education Service Center at a cost of $549,609; • accepted a $1,100 donation from Jim and Gail Frazier for an FFA scholarship banquet; • accept a donation from the PTO to go for the end of year employee banquet. The next meeting of the Fayetteville-Perry Local School District Board of Education will be on June 27.

THE WAY OF THE LORD IS RIGHT

There are Scriptures that really impact every child of God. I mean verses or passages or whole books of the Bible that can make a deep impression on us. Let me share one of mine. It is found in JOSHUA 24, “Now fear the Lord and serve him with all faithfulness. Throw away the gods your forefathers worshipped beyond the River and in Egypt, and serve the Lord. But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your forefathers served beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.” Joshua 24:14-15. Joshua was reasoning with God’s people. Christianity is a reasoned religion. Man and God reason together. Joshua is teaching the Israelites that they must make a stand and do it now! What God are you going to serve? He asks, is your God a small ‘g’ god or a capital ‘G’ God? Is your God of this world or of Heaven? Good question, for all times! Every human must ask that question when they get out of bed – whom will I serve this day? Satan deceives us into following anything other than the God of Creation. Would that everyone had THE firm resolve of Joshua here. It is not easy today to be like Joshua. But it was not easy for Joshua either. His determination for his family and himself was met by the same challenges that we have. But we give up at times. There are even times when some give up for good. Not all prodigals return home. So, don’t leave! Don’t crucify the Lord all over again! Joshua warns the people of the seriousness of serving God in Verses 19-20. He challenges them by saying you cannot do it! They shouted, yes we

can serve God! Then a covenant was made by Joshua for the people. Three things here in following the Way of the Lord: 1. First you must acknowledge there are only two ways to go: follow the gods of this world or the God of Heaven. There is no middle choice or road. 2. Then, you must ‘throw away all foreign gods that are among you and yield your hearts to the Lord’. Verse 23. This is called repentance. If we don’t get rid of all that is contrary to God’s will and words and turn to his ways, then we are not following The Way of The Lord. 3. Last, we are to make a covenant before the Lord. Joshua drew up decrees and placed a large stone under an oak tree. Notice he says that this stone will be a witness against ‘you’. Remember that Joshua has already made his decision to follow God in Verse 15. He desires them to do the same. What does that mean today? Much like the Israelites it means: 1. You must acknowledge your sinfulness and make a choice (of two) this day whom you will serve. 2. You then must repent if your choice is the Creator, the LORD. 3. Then you must be immersed (make a covenant between you and the Lord) for the remission of sins and the gift of the Holy Spirit. Acts 2:38. If you do this and remain faithful, you will be following the Way of The Lord and that is always RIGHT! I repeat the words of Joshua – FOR ME AND MY HOUSEHOLD, WE WILL SERVE THE LORD! “All the churches of Christ send greetings.” Romans 16:16 Gary J Mattingly Fayetteville Church of Christ 513-875-3636

Americans deserve the truth about scandals The last couple weeks have further weakened our trust and confidence in our government. And no matter who is in power, Democrat or Republican, that's not good news for our democracy. Revelations of misconduct by the IRS in targeting certain groups based on their politics, the Obama administration misleading us on Benghazi, the Department of Health and Human Services inappropriately raising money from companies they regulate to support ObamaCare, as well as new disclosures about the Department of Justice targeting the Associated Press, all raise serious questions about whether some public servants in Washington are putting short-term political gain ahead of their obligations to the American people. First, Benghazi. Reports by Weekly Standard and ABC, followed by Congressional hearings on Capitol Hill, revealed startling evidence that administration officials cared more about the political interests of the president than the truth about the attacks that resulted in the deaths of four Americans. Talking points used during

ROB PORTMAN interviews by Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice were altered by administration officials. She told the American people that the attack was the result of an inflammatory video even though analysts in the CIA, the State Department and the White House had already determined that terrorism was involved. It turns out that those talking points were edited no less than a dozen times. These edits were specifically made to eliminate references to al-Qaeda and related terrorists organizations that intelligence agencies suspected were responsible for the attack. Also removed were references to previous incidents that had led the CIA to warn the State Department about the dangers present in Benghazi. This deliberate attempt to hide the truth from the American people is bad enough. Perhaps even worse, when the White House was asked at the time

if the talking points were edited by anyone in the White House or State Department, they claimed that only one change was made, and that change was purely cosmetic. Either the White House was incompetent or purposefully misleading. At the same time the truth about Benghazi was unfolding, the Internal Revenue Service was also making news for all the wrong reasons. The IRS admitted to intentionally singling out dozens of nonprofit organizations for investigation for no cause other than that they had conservative political leanings. As every American knows, the IRS wields immense power, a power that is going to grow even more under the authority granted it by ObamaCare. For it to use that power against people solely for exercising their most basic, fundamental right of free speech is chilling. Chief Justice John Marshall once wrote that the power to tax is the power to destroy. It is doubtful he ever imagined this power would be directed at the First Amendment. The IRS was not the only government department overstepping its authority.

News reports indicate that Kathleen Sebelius, the head of Health and Human Services, solicited donations from companies that HHS oversees to fund enrollment efforts related to the health care insurance exchanges established by ObamaCare. At best, this appears to be an inherent conflict of interest. At worst, it is a potentially illegal augmentation of the appropriations process established by the Constitution. But no matter what the case, companies and organizations should never be pressured for money because it sends the message that contributions are necessary to secure favorable regulatory decisions -- creating a "pay to play" environment -- or to avoid regulatory reprisals. It is astonishing that the administration would ignore this most basic rule of good government. On top of all this, news broke this week of a widespread inquiry launched by the Department of Justice into the Associated Press. Two months of telephone records were seized, in an investigation the head of the AP -- one of America's most respected news sources -called a "massive and unCONTINUED ON PAGE 5

by the county for property taxes. In fact, I was charged over twice the amount owed. I notified Mr. Green personally, who admitted the mistake after I brought it to his attention; however, his office refused to refund the overage. Instead, he stated that the county was going to hold onto my money and apply it toward the next tax bill. I believe that was illegal. In effect, I was forced to loan the county my money for six months interest free! I am also unimpressed with the fact that he blames any possible anomalies on "turnover in the finance department." Turnover or not, I believe Mr. Green had a responsibility for account oversight. Unless funds are collected and allocated properly, I have no confidence in the need for more property tax levies for county entities like the library, etc., when the taxes we already pay are put into a fund but not distributed where they should be. I know the library, ABCAP and the senior citizens could have used those funds and that the county

auditor knew or should have known where the funds were. Finally, I find it appalling that on another page in the same issue of the Press, the same Mr. Green is praising the passage of a House bill that limits audits on local entities! Thank goodness a full audit is being done. I just wish it had come sooner. JoAnn Graham, Taxpayer, Mount Orab

erans and their families, the problem is much larger than just these 40 cases. The VA claims process has fallen into such a state that nearly 70% of all cases slip into the backlog. Part of the reason this backlog exists is because the VA has not taken advantage of advances in technology. For example, instead of automatically transferring military records to the VA, new veterans are asked to track down their files and transfer them to the VA independently. This process is time-consuming, expensive, and unnecessary in this era of technology. VA Secretary Eric Shinseki and Director of Ohio’s Department of Veterans Services Colonel Tom Moe also visited the Cleveland VA Regional Office during my time there. We met with local staff and evaluated the improvements being made. Secretary Shinseki assured me that reducing the backlog is his highest priority and he is keeping a close watch on the progress being made for Ohio veterans. He has overseen significant improvements, including procedural changes implemented to speed up the process, but there is still a long way to go before our veterans get the treatment they deserve.

Memorial Day went by much too fast; a day of parades and ceremonies to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. I hope you took a close look at the flag. In the morning, it should be lowered to half-staff to honor the men and women who gave their lives to protect this nation. In the afternoon, it should have been fully raised to remind us that we all must ensure those sacrifices are never in vain. The solemn responsibility to protect our nation falls to each and every one of us, but none more so than our service men and women. This is why it is so important for our country to uphold our commitments to our veterans. As your Representative, I hold this commitment to our troops, past, present and future, very dear. Unfortunately, issues at the Veterans Administration (VA) are delaying opportunities for our service men and women to get the treatment they deserve. I recently visited the VA Regional Office in Cleveland to bring the cases of 40 southern Ohio veterans to their direct attention. Each veteran had fallen into the claims backlog, meaning they have been waiting 125 days or more for a decision. On average, Ohio veterans wait 368 days to have their initial claims adjudicated. Since my visit, these 40 veterans have been able to receive updates and their claims are getting closer to completion. While this progress represents drastic improvement for local vet-

Open Arms *****Always working to help all veterans to meet at LaRosa’s, June 6 American Veterans in and around Brown County have a strong advocate in the Open Arms*****Always support group based in Georgetown. The group first organized in the mid 80’s after Sandy Liming, who worked at an employment office representing veterans, helping them find jobs either with the state or the government, had an idea. Liming talked with hundreds of American veterans who all had the same problems and the same issues in their lives. “One of the most prominent things I saw was that these veterans were disconnected from other veterans who were in the same position they were. I thought to myself that these guys need to get together.” At that point, Sandy and her husband Bob (a Vietnam veteran himself) organized the first meeting of the Open Arms*****Always support group in their home near Eastgate. The couple has since moved to Georgetown a couple years ago and the group has picked up again and continues to grow in number. Open Arms*****Al-

ways concentrates on one major goal, and that is to provide information and monetary assistance when available, to veterans and their families, whether currently serving or honorably discharged from American Armed Forces. “Our goal is to welcome with open arms, those who have served this country,” said Bob Liming. The group is also actively involved in the following events including: • Wall of Heroes (shows pictures of people who have served or who are currently serving from WW I to the present.); • Toys for Tots (each member buys one toy a month to present to the United States Marine Corp for its Christmas campaign); • Certificate of Appreciation for Veterans; • Coupons for Troops (the Brown County Developmental Center clips coupons to be sent to our troops); • Vet’s Pets Program (we get information to pet owners about to be deployed that there is a ‘fos-

ter program’ or ‘adoption program’ available to them; • ‘Volunteer Program at the Ohio Veterans’ Home in Georgetown; • Vets Got Talent Program; • Pray for Them Program and a Pray Them Home Program (national prayer chain for friends, family and service members. “The Open Arms*****Always group meets each month at LaRosa’s Restaurant in Mt. Orab,” Bob Liming said. “Our next meeting will begin at 7 p.m. on Thursday, June 6, and we would like to invite all veterans to join us. “The topics of conversation will include an in depth discussion on why only 6.4% of the votes of active duty troops from the last presidential election from were counted. The president is our commander-in-chief. These troops votes should have been the first and most important to be counted. “We’d like to hear input on this issue and find a solution to it so that

it never happens again.” Liming said the other issue to be discussed will be an initiative to organize a Veterans Treatment Court in Brown and Clermont County. The Veterans Treatment Court is designed to assist jurisdictions by transforming the way veterans are handled in the criminal justice system. In doing so it will keep veterans out of jail and prison, saving their lives, their families and their futures while saving tax dollars for the American public. “So often, our veterans get into trouble and end up in jail or inn prison,” Limings said, “When what they really need is help, not incarceration. “We want to get a Veterans Treatment Court here in Brown County, but it’s going to take a lot of support and a lot of help from veterans, their families and officials.” To learn more about the Open Arms*****Always Support Group visit wow.operationally.org, visit it on facebook or call Liming at (937) 5150543.

A free press has always been a bulwark of freedom in this country, and it is critical that the administration explain the purpose of this investigation, whether it is ongoing, and if a judge or grand jury signed off on these actions. The American people should be able to put their faith and their trust in their elected leaders. These four incidents have shaken that trust in ways that will reverberate for years to come.

One might be an aberration, two a curiosity, three a coincidence, but four such events indicate a pattern and at the very least, incompetence at the highest levels of our government.

CHURCHES In the book of Matthew chapter 16 we will find the purpose of the church. In verse 18 Jesus said: “And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” The rock here is not Peter. Go back to verse 15 when Jesus had asked; “...But whom say ye that I am?” The answer to that question was given in verse 16; “And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.” Christ is the rock in verse 18. Over and over again in the Old Testament it states: the LORD is our rock. Now it is true that the name Peter comes from the word petrify; which is to turn into a rock. But Peter writes in the book of I Peter 2:5; “Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house...”. When Peter said that, he was implying by using the word “also”, that he himself was a stone. We Christians are all stones that build up the house. But we are not the chief corner stone. Verse 6 tells us: “Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.” In I Corinthians 10:4 it tells us; “...for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.” We do not sing: Peter, rock of ages cleft for me, let me hide myself in thee. No, let us hide ourselves in God! The LORD is our Rock and our shelter in the time of storm, not Peter! That is why Jesus said; “...upon this rock I will build my church...”. He did not say He might; He said He will build His church. He has been in the process of building His church for nearly 2000 years from the time of His resurrection until the present day. And furthermore Jesus said; “and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it.” Now churches have a lot of problems all over the country. Satan is after the church and after preachers; there is no doubt about it. If he can get the leaders, he can do the most damage! He is always on the attack creating problems in the church. He never quits. However, he will not prevail! Notice the word “gates” in the phrase; “...the gates of hell...”. In the Old Testament in Psalm 127 it tells us; “Except the

LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.” In verse 5 it says; “...but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.” The Old Testament people were not foolish! The city leaders, the ones who sat in the gates, were the ones who had a lot of children and grandchildren. Therefore, they were concerned with what happened in the city more than the single man who had no children there. The courthouse was not in the middle of the city. It was at the gate so that the city leaders could meet with the enemies and do their business right there. The enemy did not get the chance to come in and spy out the whole city. When the Bible talks about the walled cities and their gates it is speaking of the headquarters of that city. So when Jesus said the gates of hell would not prevail, He was saying that the headquarters of hell would not prevail against His church. He did not say that the enemy would not struggle, or come against, or fight, but that he will “not” prevail! Just keep that in mind. Now, Jesus said church singular. Go with me to Acts 2:47; “...And the Lord added to the church daily such as should believe.” But watch how it progresses. Acts 5:14; “And believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women.)” This church was at Jerusalem. Acts 13:1; “Now there were in the church that was at Antioch...” II Corinthians 11:28; “...care of all the churches.” It is no longer just one church, but many. It continues to build and that is the purpose of the church. It started out as one and it will end up as one in the Rapture, but in the meantime there are many churches made up of believers. Christ is the corner stone, and the church is built on Him!

Pesticide license testing coming up Cover Crops & Soil Health Workshop and Field Day There will be a Cover Crop & Soil Health Workshop on Saturday, June 8 at the OSU South Centers beginning at 9:00 a.m. and will go until 4:00 p.m. The registration deadline is June 1, 2013 and you can register by calling Debby Basham at 740-259-9231 or e-mail Debby.Basham@oh.nacdnet.net Lunch will be provided and attendees will receive one soil test kit. The first 50 registered will receive two soil test vouchers from Scioto & Lawrence Co. SWCD. The cost for the day is $10. This one-day workshop is suited for the beginner or seasoned farmer looking to improve soil quality and reduce crop production costs by growing cover crops. The hands-on workshop will cover critical soil health topics and provide farmers information on how to get started using cover crops. Regional experts, including Dave Brandt, an Ohio farmer who has been featured nationally for his ex-

DAVID DUGAN tensive cover crop use, will introduce techniques to adopt cover crop technologies that could potentially reduce crop production costs. Tobacco Update The weather this spring has given producers something to think about when it comes to any crop. Trying to get crops into the fields has been a challenge to say the least. The tobacco plants are no different. Producers need to be aware of issues that the recent weather may have presented. The insect and disease pressure is likely higher than most of the season to this point, and the forecast for the last few days of May is in the 80s. Below are just a few reminders for producers including some directions for the use of available products. Slugs have been a problem in some places. Good weed control around the outside of the bed and/or greenhouse will help reduce

this problem. Baits may also be needed if slugs are present. The use of baits around the outside of the bed will normally provide adequate control. Cutworms may also be a problem. Orthene is about the only option for this problem. Disease wise, there are a number of things that you could be dealing with. Pythium root rot affects the roots and is often first seen by a tray or two that has stunted and yellowing plants. First thought might be that the plants need fertilize. Might be true, but it might be in the water and just not available for the plants due to damaged roots. Pull the trays from the bed that are stunted. Check the roots out. If they are white and extending out of the tray, it is probably not a root problem. However if the roots are brown and tend to stick the bottom of tray when the tray is turned onto its side, you may have found the problem. Dead roots are not functional, so you may need to use a fungicide in the water. Terramaster can be used as a preventative or to cure a problem. Mix the fungicide in a bucket and apply it directly to the water, then mix the water throughout the bed. The amount used depends on if you are attempting to prevent or cure. Follow the label which calls for 1 ounce per hundred gallons of water as a preventative or 1.4 ounces as a cure. The easiest way to calculate this is to use a syringe. One fluid ounce is just a little more than 29 and a half cc or ml (cubic centimeters or milliliters). To calculate the amount of water in the bed you can count the number of trays and measure the depth of the water in a few places to come up with an average. Take the number of trays

multiplied by the average depth of the water in inches and multiply that by 1.64. So, 40 trays in 4 inches of water would be (40 x 4 x 1.64) and would end up being around 262 gallons of water. Don’t forget you are going to need to add some water to circulate the product. You could time your water flow into a 5 gallon bucket to get an estimate then get an idea of how much time you have to circulate the water with new water. Sound a little too exact? Think about 1 ounce in 100 gallons when there are 128 ounces per gallon, so it is best if you try to get close. This measurement is also useful for applying fertilizer. Under or over fertilizing can be a problem that can allow some diseases to get a start. If you under do it on fertilizer, that can be an opening for target spot, while too much can cause stem rot issues. Often trying to hold plants or conditions like we have had recently can lead to some target spot. Worse yet, trying to push plants with too much nitrogen can be very regrettable. For target spot we can use Quadris one time. The rate for Quadris in the float system is 4 cc per 4 or 5 gallons of water or you can use the rate of 1 cc per gallon. Five gallons should provide good leaf coverage for about 400 trays. Dates to Remember Pesticide License Testing - Private and commercial testing for applicator license will be offered on June 10 at the Old Y Restaurant. You are required to pre-register by calling the Ohio Department of Agriculture at 800282-1955 or online at http://pested.osu.edu. Space is limited so register soon. Study materials are also available at the same address or phone number.

dollars in bonds used to finance the project through Louis and Clara Bramel, LLC. After a two hour executive session to discuss possible litigation at the village council meeting on April 1, Council Member Billie Eitel said, “The bondholder’s attorney has suggested that we get an unbiased consultant in to evaluate the feasibility of building new water plant against another alternative, such as hooking on to another provider, or buying bulk water, whatever would

be the best option for the village.” Mineer said she would abide by the results of the feasibility study. “If it comes back that the village can’t afford it, I’m not going to push to have it built.”, Mineer said. Eitel also said she would rely on the opinion of Williams. “If he says we can afford to build it, then I’m done fighting it, I’ll vote to build it”, she said. If the water plant is not built, the eventual cost to the village could exceed five million dollars after paying

‘BC five’ win court appeal CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 The five are Former Ohio Division of Wildlife Chief David Graham, Former ODOW Assistant Chief Randy Miller, ODOW Chief Law Enforcement Officer James Lehman, ODOW Human Resources Officer Michelle Ward-Tackett and ODOW Division Five Supervisor Todd Haines. Their case was appealed on in February of 2012 to the Ohio Supreme Court. Little filed Obstruction of Justice and Complicity to Obstruction of Justice charges against them in April of 2010. Little filed the charges following an investigation and report from the Ohio Inspector General, which found that the five, who were the direct supervisors of former Wildlife Officer Allan Wright, did not notify law enforcement when they became aware that Wright had engaged in possible illegal activity. Wright pleaded guilty Feb. 24, 2012 to federal charges of violating the Lacey Act, which regulates wildlife. The five were the direct supervisors of Wright. Wright admitted to allowing South Carolina Wildlife

Officer Eric Vaughn to use his Ohio address to obtain a resident Ohio hunting license instead of having to pay for a more expensive out of state license. Doing so made Wright guilty of falsifying official state records. The five are accused of proceeding with an administrative investigation instead of turning the matter over to law enforcement. A hearing was held on the case in September of 2010, where attorneys for the five claimed that their clients were forced to cooperate in an investigation by the Ohio Inspector General’s office and to incriminate themselves under fear of losing their jobs. The ability to avoid future self-incrimination during an administrative investigation is commonly known as a ‘Garrity’ right, based on a case in New Jersey. Common Pleas Judge Scott Gusweiler ruled that “Garrity’ rights did apply to the defendants and that their statements to investigators were compelled by their fear of losing their jobs and that those statements should be suppressed as evidence against them.

the bonds, settling current and possible future lawsuits and attorney fees. The Internal Revenue Service is also paying 45 percent of the interest on the bonds because they were issued against federal stimulus funds. The cost at the end of 2013 to pay back the IRS will be $223,666.86. The village signed the contract to build the water plant in December of 2010. On March 19, 2012, Mayor Harry Foxworthy notified the company that the village council was suspending work on the plant.

the study would be non-binding, but should provide some answers that would allow the counties to consider their options. He said those options will include whether to have one of the existing communications centers handle calls for all three counties or whether to move operations to a new location. Wilson said that some preliminary investigation into the idea has already revealed significant cost savings. “What we tentatively believe is that we can save the three counties over a million dollars per year by consolidation of these resources.”, Wilson said. “We as public servants owe the taxpayers the due diligence of seeing this through and seeing if there is actually going to be the potential of this type of savings.”, he added. “We are going to look at everything from staffing, systems, funding sources and every other aspect of operations. We will come out of this process with some very good and useful information.” Wilson said that once the study is complete, it will be up to the leaders of the counties involved on when or

whether to proceed with the process. “This will not be a quick process. We have to talk to all the stakeholders involved to make sure that the concerns of everyone are addressed.”, he said. Wilson gave an example of how combining the three counties communications centers could save money. “If you have three 911 centers and each of them has to spend money for a phone system, a computer dispatch system, a radio console, personnel and all those other things, you’re having a duplication of resources. With the technology we have now, the resources of one county can handle the calls from all three counties.” House Bill 360, recently passed by the Ohio Legislature, is the driving force behind the communications consolidation effort. The bill mandates that for a county to be eligible for state funding, it must meet state standards. The bill also calls for a reduction in the number of 911 call centers in the state, setting a limit of three per county in rural counties or four in urban areas. Money for the services is generated by a .25 cent per month charge on cell phone accounts within the state.

Brown County Prosecuting Attorney Jessica Little appealed the ruling. The Ohio 12th District Court of Appeals considered the case for 16 months before ruling in favor of Little and ordering that the case continue. The Ohio Supreme Court sided with Gusweiler, writing in its opinion that the five had received an ODNR form known as a “Notice of Investigatory Interview” which states in part that “failure to answer truthfully may lead to disciplinary action up to and including termination”, and that the “threat of discharge contained in the notice was sufficient proof that they subjectively believed they could be fired for refusing to cooperate.”

county now for three generations,” Parker stated. “I just feel like it would be appropriate for a name change.” Cutrell said he would draw up a petition for Parker to get signed saying that it would probably carry some weight with council if Parker could bring it back to the next meeting. The petition would be signed by anyone owning property on Short Street who have no objections to the name change. Administrator Jeremy Germann added that council has an additional request for a street name change which is also being considered. Eagan said that the other street involved is West East Street. A landlord owning property on West East Street would like to change it to Sydney Lane because of confusion in receiving mail. She added that the street is more like an alley. West East Street runs next to Stan Purdy’s office. In old business, council discussed the proposed LED sign requested by the fair board, which has been suggested that it be placed over top the existing sign in front of the fairgrounds. The request was presented to Georgetown Council by fair board member Bill Neal during council April 11 meeting. Before hearing from the Eagan, Mayor Dale Cahall commented that he wasn’t for sure, but the island where the sign is, could be stateowned property. “We talked about the issue in committee,” Eagan said, “And we thought maybe we should recommend that they just put the sign on fairground property, where there own sign is now. With all the feedback we’ve received and looking at the island itself, we don’t feel like it’s a really good place for it. For one thing we would have to chop a tree down, which I don’t think anyone is in favor of. So, we didn’t want to lead the fair board on, we think they should just put the sign on fairground property.” Eagan said that until they knew all the details about the size and height of the sign, they agreed to table the issue. Council also voted to cut council meetings to one per month during the summer with the next meeting scheduled for June 27.

State fines county 13K over late pension payments and reports CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 penalty; and greater than 60 days there is a 5% penalty. The interest rate charged by OPERS is six percent, compounded daily. Any penalty assessed by OPERS is automatically added to the next bill sent to the entity that is penalized. State Representative Doug Green released the following statement about the issue to The Brown County Press: “The payments were made timely but due to seventeen dollars and fifty cents in errors with the associated reports, the deposits were held in escrow and considered late by OPERS until corrections were made. Quite frankly, the charges are egregious and this matter will be addressed immediately. I want to state publicly, unfortunately, that sometimes errors occur. However, I along with my staff, have always worked very hard to provide efficient and courteous service to the residents of Brown County and would never betray their trust. I am confident this same commitment continues under the current administration.” Green said he is planning to investigate the matter with OPERS and plans to request a refund of the money charged to the county in penalties and interest. Brown County Treasurer Connie Patrick expressed concern about the matter in a letter to Green dated November 15, 2012. “I have discovered that corrections are necessary to bring funds into balance with our depository, Na-

tional Bank and Trust. Please note the transactions on the following dates are in need of your immediate attention.” She then named three funds that had different balances listed in her records than those reported to National Bank and Trust by Green. One fund concerned August 29 Employer and Employee payments to OPERS. The listed difference was eight cents. The next concerned an October 3 Federal and State tax payment balance that was off by $8.86 and another OPERS payment that was off by $8.56. Patrick informed the Brown County Commissioners of the issue in a letter dates March 22, 2013. “I wish to call to your attention a rather serious matter regarding the County’s depository, National Bank and Trust, and the end of year balance with the County Treasurer/County Auditor report.”, Patrick wrote. “This problem is a direct result of incorrect numbers provided to OPERS by previous County Auditor Doug Green. Reports provided to the Treasurer’s office contained different figures than those called in to OPERS for their debit transaction from the bank. Upon discovery of the error in September, 2012, I requested on numerous occasions that Doug correct these numbers; however, his efforts to correct this mistake resulted in additional differences, and continued into December. After discussion with the State Auditor’s office and

the company of Balestra, Harr and Scherer, CPA’s Inc., I have been advised to seek your assistance in resolving this issue. The National Bank and Trust account cannot be reconciled without additional funds deposited to cover late penalty fees that were also withdrawn by OPERS and not reported to the Treasurer’s office.” Patrick and Brown County Auditor Jill Hall said that the State Auditor’s office has advised them to keep an eye on the OPERS account over the next couple of months to see how much money may need to be deposited into the OPERS account to make up for the penalties and interest charged. Hall said that monitoring is underway on a weekly basis. “Connie (Patrick) and I have been keeping tabs with each other and no other discrepancies have taken

place. Payments and reports have all been sent in on time.” Hall added that she has made procedural changes in her office to ensure that the OPERS reports are completed on time. “I started having my payroll clerk do the reports herself. She’s the one that generates them, she should be the one that files them. That just makes sense to me as an easy step to take.”, Hall said. Hall authorizes payment to OPERS once the report is generated. She said she wants the public to know that she and her staff are working to make sure that her office is working efficiently. “We’re trying to take care of the money, we’re trying to make sure that things are done accurately and in a timely fashion. From my perspective, that’s all we can do.”, Hall said.

tures in the general fund of the village. Germann informed the committee that general fund expenditures have exceeded revenues by $1,078,222 since 2008. For 2013, the village has brought in $279,747 and spent $374,811 during the fiscal year, leaving the general fund reserve at $791,229. “The bad news here is,” Germann said, “even with that drastic cut in the general fund, they are cuts we’re not keeping up with. The village is seeing a significant drop in revenue. For example in 2008 the village brought in $541,373 the first five months. In comparison the same first five months of 2013, the village has only generated $279,747.” Germann explained that while expenditures have remained relatively stable, revenues have sharply declined. “This is not a spending problem,” Germann stressed, “Revenue is down by at least 50% from what it was four or five years ago. “What this means is, if we continue spending the way we are, we will have to cut our expenditures by 50 %, which means drastic cuts.” Germann said that he is looking at every way possible to reduce spending and still provide a level of services that the residents of Georgetown are accustomed to. Councilman Owens said that now is the time to ask the residents for some feedback because there are just a couple things to do here, cut services or increase tax revenue. “This seems pretty cut and dry,” Owens added. “These are the only things that are going to fix the issue.” Councilman Dennis White commented that the village certainly didn’t want to lay anyone off, and he too would like to hear from the public on the matter. Germann told council that if the village continues to bring in less money than it’s spending, it can’t continue to operate. “It’s important that we begin right away to fix this problem to avoid a potential problem two years down the road,” Germann said.

In other business, following the suspension of the three-reading rule, members of Georgetown Village Council unanimously passed an ordinance to establish a sidewalk improvement program within the village.Terms of the ordinance included: • funding by the Village of Georgetown in the amount of $10,000 as matching funds; • qualified applicants will be reimbursed by the village for the costs of sidewalk improvements on a 50/50 basis up to a maximum of $1,000. (Village share $500). If work is $2,000, village pays $1,000. In other business at the meeting council discussed a request by resident Roger Parker to change the name of Short Street to Parker Lane or Parker Avenue. “I have been to a council meeting before to ask for this street name change,” Parker began. Georgetown Mayor Dale Cahall told Parker that a street committee meeting had been held and the issue was discussed. However, Cahall told Parker that the matter had been tabled by the committee until they researched some questions they had. Street committee president Sarah Eagan told council that they just wanted to talk to full council about the matter before they made their decision. “One of the points that was brought up during our committee meeting was that we thought property on Short Street had been listed for sale,” Eagan said. “And another issue is, that a lot of streets are renamed in honor of someone, and also is it might affect some businesses if we change the name of the street.” Councilman Drew Watson stated that he felt each case of street renames should be handled on a case by case basis. Village solicitor, Jay Cutrell asked Parker if there were any properties on Short Street that actually had a Short Street address. Parker told him ‘no,’ that there are no addresses on Short Street. “I am asking for this name change out of respect for my family who have served this

The Brown County Press - Sunday, June 2, 2013 - Page 11

The school year is quickly approaching its end, and we are all looking forward to the summer. Even though this is a time for vacation and worry free relaxation, there are some health issues we need to keep in mind. Spending time outside is what we like to do in the summer--either swimming, fishing, camping or just playing around. When doing this, we need to remember a few basic rules. Sunshine is good for us. It improves our mood and helps our body produce vitamin D. Too much sunshine can cause damage. Make sure you apply sunscreen when outside for long periods of time. If you’re out swimming or fishing, remember the water reflects the sun’s rays. You’re exposed to radiation both from above and from the water. Also, protect your eyes by wearing appropriate sunglasses if needed. Hot weather is also an integral part of the summer. Drinking fluids (not including alcohol) is necessary to prevent dehydration. Also, cool off to prevent heat stroke. Do not increase the amount of soda consumed. Those carry extra calories with them and may cause you to gain weight. The mosquitoes should be here pretty soon. In addition to being bothersome and causing itching, they sometimes carry diseases like West Nile Virus. Last year West Nile infection

Magic Waters Theatre opens this weekend Magic Water Theatre will open June 7 for the season. First show of the season will be “Return to Our House” is written by Jean Lowe of the Magic Waters troupe. Second of the season will be “Maggie’s Mischievous”. It is a child’s fantasy but once she gets to “Magic Land, she finds she has been taken back in time to Cave Holler in the pioneer days, and she meets many interesting historical and often fun characters. Third on board is E.B.White’s “Charlotte’s Web”, adapted for the stage by Joseph Robinette. All of the wonderful characters are very present: Wilbur the pig, Templeton the Rat, Fern the girl who understands animal language, various farm animals, the Zuckerman family, and of course, the marvelous spider, Charlotte! Magic Waters Theatre is located at 7757 Cave Rd. Bainbridge. For more information please call (937) 365-1388 or go to www.magicwaterstheatre.com

caused 121 people to be ill in Ohio, including seven deaths. Applying a mosquito repellent can save you itches and worries. Most mosquitoes don’t carry any infectious diseases, so you don’t have to call your physician with every itchy bite. Lyme disease is another disease transmitted by insects. It is passed by the deer tick and occurs mainly in the summer. Most ticks are not infected. If you’ve been out in the woods, check the body for ticks. It takes about forty eight hours for the tick to transmit the disease. Because of that, there is no need to start antibiotics every time you find a tick on your child. Also, it’s important to remember that deer ticks are much smaller than dog ticks. The next school year will be here before we’ll manage to enjoy the summer. It’s important to remember that children starting kindergarten or going to seventh grade are now required to have immunizations. Remember to make the appointments before the summer is over, so you don’t have to frantically call your physician on the first day of the new school year. To schedule an appointment with Dr. Zmora at Bethel Family Physicians, please call (513) 734-9050.

SPC Seth Blevins Scholarships awarded The SPC Seth Blevins Memorial Scholarship was established in August 2011 to honor and celebrate the life and service of SPC Seth Blevins. The mission of the committee is to award scholarships each year to deserving Brown County high school graduates so that they can pursue higher education. The Seth Blevins Memorial Scholarship is made possible through the support of

the community through fundraisers such as the annual spaghetti dinner, the annual bike ride, and the Tumbleweed Dine to Donate program. This is the first year the committee awarded scholarships. The 2013 scholarship recipients are Blain Jones from Western Brown Local School District and McKenna Koewler from Ripley Union Lewis Huntington

School District. Each student received a $3,000 award that can be used for any post-secondary undergraduate education or vocational training at an accredited institution. Blain is the son of Bunnie and Terry Bolender. He plans to attend the Ohio State University and major in engineering. McKenna is the daughter of Maribeth and Donald Koewler. She plans to attend Wright

State University and major in Mass Communication. They were awarded their scholarships through a competitive application process. Scholarship readers reviewed grade point averages, extra-curricular involvement, work and volunteer experience, and the content of an essay about patriotism. We look forward to watching them succeed in their future education.

Scholarship recognition awarded to Chester Akers Illinois College awarded academic scholarships during the third annual Celebration of Excellence on Friday, April 26. The daylong celebration allowed students and faculty to take part in activities that commend academic excellence, a hallmark of the college since its founding in

1829. Students received many different awards and scholarships. Among those that were recognized during this day, Chester Akers of Sardinia received the Dr. Fred E. Deatherage Memorial Scholarship. The Celebration of Excel-

lence featured more than 40 students presenting recent research efforts during presentations and poster sessions in various locations on campus. Presentation and poster subjects covered all areas of the liberal arts curriculum. The Illinois College De-

partment of Music Honors Recital performed in Rammelkamp Chapel and a dessert reception concluded the Celebration of Excellence activities later that evening. The reception was a final opportunity to recognize various academic departmental honors.

ily Medicine located at 4881 State Route 125, Ohio 45121 on Wednesday, June 19 The American Cancer Society recommends that women have a mammogram every year starting at age 40. Screening mammograms are usually a covered benefit with most insurance carriers. Expert radiologists read

all mammograms and because a second look can mean a second chance, we double-check all mammograms with the R2 ImageChecker, a computer-aided detection system that detects 23.4 percent more breast cancer than mammography alone. Both the patient and her physician receive a copy of the results.

Ohio FSA announces CRP general signup has begun The Ohio Farm Service Agency (FSA) will conduct a general signup for the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) has begun and continues through June 14, 2013. During the signup period, farmers and landowners may offer eligible land for CRP's competitive general signup at their local Farm Service Agency (FSA) office. "Over the past 27 years, CRP's benefits have grown thanks to many improvements of our natural resources including cleaner water, improved air quality, better habitat for wildlife, and a large reduction in soil erosion," said Maurer. "Currently, Ohio has about 319,000 acres enrolled in CRP and approximately 55,000 acres of CRP are set to expire on Sept. 30, 2013." Land currently not enrolled in CRP may be offered in this signup provided all eligibility re-

quirements are met. Additionally, current CRP participants with contracts expiring on September 30, 2013, may make new contract offers. Contracts awarded under this signup are scheduled to become effective October 1, 2013. FSA, which administers the CRP, will evaluate and rank eligible CRP offers using an Environmental Benefits Index (EBI) that shows the environmental benefits of enrolling land in CRP. There are six factors that make up the EBI: wildlife, water, soil, air, enduring benefits and cost. Decisions will be made following the end of the signup period and after analyzing EBI data on all of the offers. For more information about general CRP signup, please contact your local FSA office or visit the FSA CRP website at: http://www.fsa.usda.gov/cr p.

Do you know the smallest bone in the human body? Or that there are actually benefits to a fever? Here are six quick facts that may surprise and enlighten you. 1. Fever is not a bad thing. Fever is one way the body fights off an infection. Most bacteria and viruses do not tolerate heat well, so the body heats itself up to kill or weaken the bacteria. Only treat your child’s fever if it is making them uncomfortable. 2. A local anesthetic is a drug that blocks messages from being transmitted along the nerve fiber. Cocaine was first used as an anesthetic in 1884. In 1903, the anesthetic stovaine was synthesized and in 1904, procaine was synthesized. Although it is no longer available in the US, most people are familiar with procaine’s brand name, Novocaine. The name Novocaine came from the Latin nov meaning new and caine was the ending for all the local anesthetics. 3. In the mid 1950s, while working on a new dye chemists discovered a new compound that came to be known as chlordiazepoxide,

HEALTH MATTERS TOM CALLAHAN, RPH brand name Librium. It was the first benzodiazepine, approved in 1960. Three years later, an improved version called diazepam (Valium) was approved. Since then, there have been dozens of other benzodiazepines on the market including Ativan, Xanax, and the sleeping pills Dalmane, Halcion and Restoril. 4. “The doctor just gave me a prescription for prednisone and said it was a steroid. Am I going to get big muscles?” Unfortunately, no. There are different kinds of steroids. One kind includes drugs like prednisone, cortisone and hydrocortisone. These drugs are used to treat allergic reactions or to reduce swelling and inflammation. Another type of steroid is the sex hormones; estrogen and progesterone in women and testosterone in men. Testosterone is the steroid that

body builders use. 5. Did you know that cellophane is made from the cellulose from plants? Because it’s made from plant sources cellophane is commonly used for food packaging. The cellulose is dissolved in a solution then pushed through a thin slit to form sheets. The dissolved cellulose can also be shot through a tiny hole to form thin strands called rayon. That’s right- rayon and cellophane are the same thing only in different forms. 6. Did you know that the smallest bone in the human body is the stapes or stirrup bone? It is located in the ear, and to get an idea of how small it is, look at the face of a penny. The stirrup bone would just about fit in the triangle shape made by the word Liberty, Lincoln’s shoulder, and the outer edge of the penny. Tom Callahan is a pharmacist, he lives in the Milford area.

Six things that you might not know

Creature Feature Wellness plans offered at All Creatures Many of our clients have been asking us recently if we offer wellness plans. We listened to your request, and have developed a very unique, All Creatures esq, wellness program perfect for your pet and your budget. Some of the details are below, and much more will be on our website and in our hospital moving forward. But for now we would like to take a few minutes and explain what we are going to offer, and how it will benefit both you and your pet(s). Wellness plans are not pet insurance, but instead are a bundled group of services needed to prevent disease and provide the best medicine and protection for your pet. They often have plan benefits, and can be funded either in full on the date of purchase, or by making monthly installments deducted directly from your checking or savings account. We examined wellness programs for many, many different veterinarians, and attended countless lectures at the North American Veterinary Conference to try to offer you the best possible care at the best price. We think we have done just that, and we are all very pleased to offer you these plans, with all of the bundled products coming in at a 20 percent discount! Ok, on to the good stuff, just what will you get, and how much it will be. • Puppy Plans starting at $21/month • Kitten Plans starting at 22/month • Dog Plans starting at $15/month • Cat Plans starting at $14/month For each category, we offer a basic plan. That basic plan includes your pet’s needed vaccines, diagnostic testing, and wellness examinations. Think of the vaccine packages we offer now and that is the basic package with the addition of a few “perks.” First of all, your pet will get a minimum of 2 wellness visits, where he or she will receive a comprehensive examination from a veterinarian. This is essential to good health and illness prevention. Besides the extra exam and vaccines you will receive the following in

DAN MEAKIN CREATURE FEATURE

our basic plan: • Ten percent off additional services and products. If you have that emergency appointment, it will cost you less if you are a wellness plan member • Unlimited nail trims. Oh yeah, no more blood trails through the kitchen, no more wrestling to trim that dewclaw, we have you covered with unlimited free nail trims! • $20 co-pay for sick visits. If your pet is sick, you will only pay a copay to see the vet, making your visit much more affordable. Each of the items in the plans are 20 percent off of our already low prices, making this program the most affordable wellness care we have ever offered! Some pets require more services because of their age, breed, or medical history. Because of that, our plans are targeted, veterinarian driven, custom plans. Because in addition to the basic plan, your vet will recommend additional services your pet needs based on the physical exam. If you would like to do comprehensive bloodwork, we can add it.

X-Rays to check for tumors, we can add it. Spay, Neuter, Declaw, ear cleanings, anal gland expression, glaucoma screenings, it can all be added into your wellness plan. We can find the right fit for you and your pet, and you can rest assured that you are providing the best preventative care for your pet. If you have questions about our wellness program please email our Medical Practice Manager at info@allcreatures.com The plans begin at $14 a month, and go up based on the category and your veterinarian’s recommendations. If you don’t want to pay monthly that is no problem, you can fully fund your plan when you sign up and then enjoy a year of preventative care and benefits for your best friend. You can sign up anytime by phone. There is a wellness information sheet on our website that helps speed up the process of signing up. You can also sign up at any of our three convenient locations. Remember to bring your checking account information (account number and routing number). Dr. Dan Meakin is the owner of All Creatures Animal Hospital, 1894 Ohio Pike in Amelia. Call (513) 797-PETS.

We are hearing more and more about Xylitol, a natural sweetener found in some fruits. It has been added to sugarless gum, toothpastes and mints because it has been shown in some studies to help prevent tooth decay. Studies have also shown that it may have an impact on ear infections and sinus infections as well. Strep mutans is the bacteria that commonly causes tooth decay. Xylitol apparently harms this bacteria and inhibits its growth in the oral environment. Strep pneumonia commonly causes ear and sinus infections and is similar to strep mutans. It is thought that xylitol fights against this bacteria as well. A study in the British Medical Journal in Nov of 1996 showed that kids were half as

WORD OF MOUTH

DR. MICHELLE HECK likely to develop ear infections if they chewed gum sweetened with xylitol after every meal and snack. The act of chewing gum in itself is good to promote ear drainage and loosen pressure. In addition, the release of xylitol in the mouth and throat is thought to fight bacteria growth in the eustachian tubes that go from the throat to the ear. Following this same line of thought, companies are producing xylitol nasal rinses to prevent sinus infections. These can be purchased on-

line and in health food stores. Xylitol is believed to be safe and easily tolerated, the only possible side effect being diarrhea, which is common with artificial sweeteners. The dental community has long been aware that chewing sugarless gum after meals helps thwart tooth decay. The natural cleansing action and increased saliva production cleans off leftover food particles and plaque. If you chew gum sweetened with xylitol, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s even more benefit. Now with the information we have about ear and sinus infections, there is another reason to chew sugar-free gum! If you suffer from chronic sinus infections, you may want to consider the nasal rinses as well.

A QUICK WORD

“Rightly Dividing”

B R O A D S H E E T

Provided/THE BROWN COUNTY PRESS

Charity Horse Show benefits Hospice of Hope, Ohio Valley Every year since 1971, horses and riders from around the tri-state area and as far away as Michigan, Tennessee and Florida have competed for blue ribbons at the Brown County Charity Horse Show! This year marks the 42nd year for this annual event and it promises to be one of the biggest and best shows yet! The 2013 Brown County Charity Horse Show is scheduled rain or shine for June 6, 7 and 8. Over 100 classes will feature all breeds of horses that include: Saddlebred Horses; Morgan Horses; Arabian Horses; Road Horses and Ponies; Hackney Ponies; Friesian Horses, Quarter Horses; Paint Horses; Draft

Horses; Miniature Horses; and the ever-popular Carriage Driving Horses. Mindy Preston from Indiana will be the judge of this year’s show. All proceeds benefit Hospice of Hope, Ohio Valley. These dollars remain locally, enabling Hospice of Hope to assist families in our area who are in need of their many services. As a result of your generosity and donations, the Brown County Charity Horse Show has raised thousands of dollars in previous years that were donated directly to this important organization. Individuals, groups and/or businesses are encouraged to sponsor a class. Your contribution

will be recognized at the show. Contact Tom Durbin at loons_432@yahoo.com for more information. Horse show hoodies and Tshirts will be available for purchase at the show. The show begins on June 6 at 7 p.m. Classes begin again on Friday, June 7 at 11 a.m. and then again Friday evening at 7 p.m. Saturday’s classes begin at 9 a.m. with championship classes beginning at 6:30 p.m. Jenny Connor, manager of the show, encourages everyone to “Help us help others!! Bring the entire family, watch the show and benefit a worthy cause!!” Donations are appreciated but admission is free!

The Great Commission --- Have you heard it’s MT 28:19 , or MK 16:16, or something else? Have you checked it out? If it’s either of these why isn’t it being fulfilled including the other verses around it? They are part of it! There’s something wrong with your teaching if it isn’t being fulfilled. Could it be that you’re not rightly dividing? IITM 2:15 must be obeyed! Is it possible that these verses are written to a different dispensation? That’s right, it is a Bible word! Paul uses it in I COR 9:17, EPH 1:10, 3:2, COL 1:25. Some churches go to James or John or Peter or some other apostle to get their church doctrine. The Lord made it clear that it is to Paul in ACTS 9:15, IITM 2:7, etc., we must go! Are you going to follow Paul or your misguided pastor, priest, or spiritual leader? Have you checked them out to see if they’re rightly dividing? Do you care??? Many things are cleared up when you put the church in the proper dispensation. Tithing, tongues, healing, women preachers, attendance, church, etc. If you like serious Bible study then you need to visit with us. We don’t try and force denomination teaching on you. We simply open the Holy Bible, AV 1611, and rightly divide.

Local track athletes show well at district meets BY Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press

B R O A D S H E E T E V E N

It certainly seems as if local track and field contingent are peaking at the right time. Local track and field athletes combined to perform well enough to earn trips to the regionals in 30 different events, of whom 12 earned a district title in their respective events. Even though each school had at least one regional qualifier, two schools stood above the rest with its district meet performance. Both the Georgetown boys and the Eastern girls finished as district runnerup at its respective district meets last weekend. The G-Men collected 105 points at the Division III district meet at New Richmond last Thursday and Saturday. They finished second to Cincinnati County Day, who finished with 120 points. “Runner-up is pretty awesome,” Georgetown

coach Tracy Hawkins said on Tuesday. “We were shooting for something big and we nearly reached our goal. You can’t ask for anything more that got it done out there. I’m really proud of them.” Georgetown four individual district champions and 11 individuals or relay team who advanced to the Division III regional meet at Piqua High School on Wednesday, May 29 and Saturday, June 1. The talented senior class led the G-Men contingent at the district meet. Senior Nick McAfee, in the 800-meter and 1600meter runs, won two individual district titles as did classmate Jess Adamson, who won the shot put and the discus. Adamson’s throw of 157-09 in the discus set a new district meet record. Three different Georgetown relay teams earned trips to regionals including the 4x200 relay team of Janson Florence, Brandon

Tucker, Jake Cropper and Kyle Damen (third place), the 4x400 relay team of Logan Lucas, McAfee, Cropper and Tucker (second place) and the 4x800 relay team of McAfee, Cropper, Damen and Lucas. Damen, thanks to fourth place finishes in the 1600meter and 3200-meter runs, Cropper, thanks to a third place finish in the 400meter dash, and Banon Swartz, who finished second in the discus, all earned trips to the regional meet as well. The G-Men will be intently focused on performing well at regionals after injuries and illness kept them from competing at their best in the district meet. “We’re hungrier than ever now,” Hawkins said. “To be that close at districts right here close to home and have that happen, we want it even more.” Meanwhile, at the Division III district meet at Oak

Provided/THE BROWN COUNTY PRESS

The Eastern girls track and field team finished second at the Division III district meet held at Oak Hill High School last on May 22 and 25. It was just the third time in school history that the Lady Warriors program has finished as district runner-up.

Hill High School last Wednesday and Saturday, the Lady Warriors earned 97 points as a team, second only to district champ Waterford’s 108 points. It was just the Lady Warriors third district runner-

up ever and its first since 1991. “It’s been a really special year,” Eastern girls track coach Tom Glasscock said on Tuesday. Leading the way for the Lady Warriors were its four

relay teams, all of whom performed well enough to advance to the Division III regional meet at Fairfield Union High School on Wednesday, May 29 and Friday, May 31. CONTINUED ON PAGE 31

Missed opportunities prove costly for Lady Broncos in district loss BY Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press MASON-- Each of the first three times the Western Brown softball team came to the plate last Saturday afternoon they looked primed to put a crooked number on the board. The Lady Broncos pounded out four hits against Kenton Ridge pitcher Courtney Lopez those first three innings, worked three walks and had three runners in scoring position. Yet, in those three innings, the Lady Broncos were able to muster just one run. Failing to cash in on those opportunities when they had Lopez and the Cougars on their heels in teams Division II district final at Mason High School proved costly for the Lady Broncos. That’s because when the Cougars got its first big opportunity in the top of the seventh, they took advantage. Kenton Ridge, who was ranked No. 3 in the state in the final Ohio High School Fastpitch Softball Coaches Association poll, scored three times in the top of the seventh inning to break an one-all tie and held on to pick up a win, 4-2, that ended the Lady Broncos season. “It should have been out of reach by that point,” Western Brown coach Blaine Wallace said of the

Western Brown’s Morgan Fischer shows her joy rounding third base after hitting a home run to lead off the second inning against Kenton Ridge pitcher Courtney Lopez.

Cougars three-run seventh. “We had had enough chances to score and didn’t. (We) didn’t move runners over on bunts. I don’t know how many we left on base, I would guess 10 or 12. Just left too many out there.” Even as the teams headed to final inning tied, it still seemed as if the Lady Broncos were in control. Outside of a Paige Mc-

Crary solo home run in the fourth inning that tied the game at one, the Cougars had gotten just a pair of hits off Nickell. Offensively, the Lady Broncos had hit Lopez from the outset. Western Brown broke though in the second but let a prime opportunity to add on slip away. Morgan Fischer led off the second inning with a

blast to left field that easily cleared the wall to give the Lady Broncos a 1-0 lead. Hope Jamison followed with a single and Nickell battled her opposing number before eventually walking to put two on with no out. But three straight pop outs quickly ended the inning without so much as Jamison or Nickell moving up a base. Again, in the third, the Lady Broncos put two on, thanks to a Brittany Palmer infield single and a Fischer walk, but couldn’t cash in. All told, the Lady Broncos left nine runners on base, including five left in scoring position. Not a single runner who got on base via a single, walk or error would go on to score. “That’s been a problem all year, especially against the better teams we’ve played,” Wallace said of his teams ability to hit with runners on base. “We could just not get that one big hit we needed.” While the Lady Broncos couldn’t come up with that big hit when they so desperately needed it, Kenton Ridge did -- and in a big spot. Again, McCrary was the catalyst of the Cougars rally. She got Kenton Ridge its first lead of the afternoon when she led off the seventh with a home run that stayed fair by the slimmest of margin. Her second home run of CONTINUED ON PAGE 29

Fayetteville centerfielder Dillon Wilson gets himself in position to make a catch last Friday evening at Centerville High School.

Not all lost in Rockets district final setback BY Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press CENTERVILLE-- Sure, its 7-0 loss to Russia in a Division IV district final last Friday was disappointing for the Fayetteville baseball team. Fayetteville starter Casey Boyer gave up just four hits but a combination of errors and walks allowed the Raiders to score all evening long at Centerville High School. The extra runs were simply an added bonus because Russia lefthander Nolan Francis stymied the Rockets batters -- he gave up just two hits -- en route to a district-clinching win. Yet, just getting to a district final was a victory of sorts for a largely young

Rockets team. Having just two returning upperclassman to guide them when the season began, the Rockets struggled early on. But as the Rockets, whose 15-man roster was dominated by 10 freshman and sophomores, played through the season, they got better and better. They gave eventual Southern Hills Athletic Conference Division II champ, and Gold Ball winning, Whiteoak all it could want in losing a pair of one run games, including one in extra innings. Its season culminated by beating Cincinnati Country Day to secure just its second-ever sectional title in school history. CONTINUED ON PAGE 31

BY Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press For the first time in nearly four decades a face familiar to the Eastern community will not be roaming the sideline for the Lady Warriors basketball program. Former St. Patrick (Ky.) coach Elaine Douglas was approved last week at the Eastern Board of Education meeting to replace John Burrows, who retired following the completion of the 2012-13 season. Douglas was selected f rom a group of 11 applicants to take over a Lady Warrior program filled with tradition, despite some struggles the past two seasons. The opportunity to coach at a school such as Eastern was simply too good for Douglas to pass up. “Probably the school in general,” Douglas said of

what piqued her interest in the job opening in a phone interview on Wednesday. “I know the school is held to very high standards. I kn ow Eastern is looked to very high standards in education and athletics.” Douglas realizes she has some big shoes to fill in the departing Burrows. She is tasked with replacing a man who spent 41 years coaching in the Eastern district, including the last three as the Lady Warriors head coach. Burrows had spent the previous 13 years before becoming Eastern’s head coach as the assistant to longtime, and quite successful, Lady Warriors coach Richard Kiser. During his four-plus decades in the Eastern district, Burrows held a multitude of titles, including stints as varsity baseball, varsity volleyball, junior varsity boys and girls basketball coach and athletic

director at the high school and head boys and girls basketball coach at Russellville Jr. High.

Making the decision to retire, a decision he made near the end of this past season, wasn’t easy. “To a certain extent, yeah,” Burrows said recently as whether it was hard to retire. “Sometimes you just realize. When you been somewhere so long you still think about it. I'm sure it will be sort of tough getting used to it. I just think it was the time to do it.”

The difficult task of replacing such an Eastern institution is not something that is lost Douglas. “I 've got very big shoes to fill,” she said. “He was very well thought of as a person, as a coach and in the community.” She comes to the Lady Warrior program having found quite a bit of success during her five years as head coach at St. Patrick, where she went 79-58 before stepping down at the end 2011-12 season. Her past success played a big role in Douglas being selected as the new Lady Warrior coach. “Elaine was the best candidate,” Eastern athletic director Eric Purdy said on Wednesday night. “Talking with Elaine, she has a very good direction she wants to take with our program. She wants to continue with our success and build upon that.” Douglas inherits a team

that finished 9-14 a year ago and 12-10 the year before that. She’ll have to replace three departing seniors -Maria Johnson, Tressie Lewis and Emily Turner -but will return no less than six girls who saw action a year ago, including two starters. Having taken over in the heart of the spring season, Douglas hasn’t had much time to spend with her new team. She’s has had the chance to meet with them and looks forward to getting the chance to start working with them in a few weeks. “Definitely (ready) to get going and getting them in the gym and getting to wor k with them some,” Douglas said. Since she hasn’t been able to work with the team yet, Douglas isn’t sure what to expect in terms of how the Lady Warriors will look when they take the

court next winter. She has a vague idea as to what she’ll have since she played the Lady Warriors during her final season as Lady Saints coach but didn’t get a chance to see the team a year ago when she was an assistant at Rowan County High School in Morehead, Ky. “It may be different from what John did last year,” she said. “I'm sure they'll be a little transitional period there.” Having played Eastern and Ripley and scrimmaged Fayetteville when she was at St. Pats, and having spent time coaching AAU basketball in Ohio, Douglas comes to the Lady Warrior program with some familiarity of the area and the Southern Hills Athletic Con ference. “I know rules and regulations and know who's strong in the region,” she said.

Making the decision on where she would play basketball in college was not a quick and easy decision for Niya Royal. She wanted to find a school that would help her achieve her goals academically, first and foremost, while also getting the chance to compete on the hardwood. Royal, a Ripley senior, also wanted a place where she felt comfortable being that it was likely she would be a fair distance away from home and her family. All it took was one visit to Lane College and Royal had found the school that would be the perfect fit from every perspective. She made it official on May 20 when she signed her letter of intent to play basketball for Lane, a Division II program in Jackson, Tenn., and its coach, Stacey Buchannon. “The players and the coaches are what sold me on Lane College,” Royal said last week in a phone interview. She continued, “The distance was the big thing that concerned me. Three hours away is my closest family member from Lane. I really wanted coaches I got along with. It felt like I fit.” The Lady Dragons, who compete in the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SIAC), are adding a dynamic point guard to its roster. Royal, a three-year varsity starter for the Lady Jays, played a key role in the resurgence in school’s girls basketball program the past couple of years. She did so by contributing in every manner needed, first as more of a distributor and defender before becoming a more

prolific scorer this past winter. During the Lady Jays 15-8 campaign this season, Royal averaged a team-best 16.6 points per game and 5.8 assists per game. She helped lead the Lady Jays to a second place

finish to unbeaten Fayetteville in the Southern Hills Athletic Conference. “She led us in scoring the last couple years. She was kind of the leader of the team,” former Ripley girls basketball coach Chris Coleman said in a phone

conversation last week. “(Her) senior year we really needed her to step up and she did.” Coleman has no troubling believing Royal will fit in nicely at Lane. “They play a real up and down style. That style suits her more than anything,” he said. “The way their staff talked, they would probably play her at the one. Yeah, I think she'll be able to step in and do well.” Getting to play in a more up tempo style of basketball is something that Royal is looking forward to. She thinks she has a chance to get some minutes as a freshman for the Lady Dragons, who are coming off 7-18 (4-12 SIAC) season. “The coaches didn't give me a set of how many minutes I would play but did say I would get a chance to get a lot of playing time,” she said. While playing basketball at the collegiate level is a dream that Royal gets to fulfill, she is just as focused, if not more, on her future after basketball. She plans on getting a bachelors degree in business administration from Lane, a small, private liberal arts college. Once she accomplishes that, Royal plans to attend a larger university to get a masters in business administration with a minor in sports management. She’d like eventually to become an event manager for a college or professional sports team, which would be a culmination of her dreams on the basketball court and in the classroom. “My education came first and when they talked about basketball, that was just icing on the cake,” she said.

Chamberlain takes home feature win on Armed Forces Night at Moler Raceway Park

Armed Forces Night let veterans, past and present, in free to Moler Raceway Park as a tribute to them for the sacrifices they make for our freedoms. Duane Chamberlain was on the pole for the $2,000 to win, 40-lap feature with Chad Stapleton on the outside. At the drop of the green, Chamberlain jumped out front with Stapleton in pursuit. Despite a couple of cautions that slowed the event, the man on the move was Ethan Burgess, who didn’t even qualify or run a heat race. The youngster Burgess started 17th and was up to sixth when he tangled with a lapped car on lap 23. On the restart, it was, again, Chamberlain out front with Stapleton applying pressure on the low side. After a couple of laps they would return to single file while third place running John Whitney would fight off Rod Conley to put pressure on Stapleton. At the end there was no stopping Chamberlain as he would claim the checkers. Whitney would get past Stapleton for the sec-

Lady Broncos: Missed chances turn out to be the difference in loss CONTINUED FROM PAGE 28 the day seemed destined to just be a long and loud strike before it just nicked the left side of the foul pole. The shot not only gave the Cougars a 2-1 lead but it knocked the air right out of the Lady Broncos. Kenton Ridge would got on to add two more runs in the inning when Haley Dillon singled in one run and Monika Foster plated another on a sacrifice fly to left field. “After the home run we just lost focus there for three or four batters,” Wallace said. Kristen York tried to ignite a Lady Broncos rally in the bottom of the seventh when she hit a leadoff home run to left to cut the Kenton Ridge lead to two, 4-2. Two outs later, back-toback Cougar errors allowed Palmer and McElroy to end up on second and third as

the tying runs. But that’s as far as either would advance. Lopez induced Fischer to fly out to shallow center to end the threat and the game. A disappointing finish to be sure, the season was by no means a disappointment the Lady Broncos. They finished 18-8 and won a share of the Southern Buckeye ConferenceAmerican Division title and a second straight sectional title. And, for the most part, the Lady Broncos are still relatively young. They’ll lose just one of its nine starters -- Palmer, who Wallace called one of the best shortstops and hitters around. All in all, it turned out to be a continued step in the right direction for the Lady Broncos. “Another good year,” Wallace said.

It was an exciting night in the Chevette Division as Rusty Yarger jumped out front at the green flag with Miles Tarvin in pursuit. Yarger would lose top spot to Tarvin but on a restart both Yarger and Spensor Watson would get pass Tarvin and put on a furious battle up front. With three laps to go, as they were coming to the green flag on the restart, the front wheel on Watson's machine would come off, ending his night. Yarger would hold off Tarvin for the final two laps to take his third win of the season. Steven Pursley would come home in third spot with Jim Hunt and Kyle Tarvin rounding out top five. It came down to a near photo finish in the Crazy Compacts between race leader Jerry Gibson III and Willie Butler as Butler would hold off Gibson to take the win by inches.

Michael Gemmer came home third with Justin Dalton and Rob Simpson rounding out the top five spots. In addition to the tribute to all our veterans, past and present, the MRP Safety Crew was also given a big thank you for all they do along with our police, firemen and women and everyone who protects us every day. And a huge thank you goes out to all of the fans and fellow racers who chipped in when the drivers passed around the helmet to raise funds for Barry Doss, a five-time Moler track champion, and his family. Over $1,500 was collected to help with his medical expenses as he recovers from a medical emergency that happened at the last race on May 3rd. The Dayton Auto Racing Fan Club also participated in helping ‘The Boss’ with a check from its injured drivers' fund. His family, along with the Kenneda family, thanked everyone for their generosity and, especially, their thoughts and prayers through this difficult time.

Shawnee State is exactly G-Men contingent heading what Kuttler was looking for to NKU gets a little bigger BY Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press

BY Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press Tracy Hawkins has a special place in her heart for the nine guys that make up the senior class for the Georgetown track and field team. The second-year Georgetown High School coach has coached this group, in some form or fashion, since they began competing in the sport as seventh graders. She has gotten so close this group that has saw much success on and off the track that she refers to them as family. Somewhat ironically, the reason she has gotten so close to this group and played a part in their development on the track can be traced to the efforts of one of the nine seniors who actually is family -- Logan Lucas. It was Lucas who convinced his aunt, Hawkins, to become a coach in the first place. “The one who suckered me in coaching,” is how Hawkins jokingly referred to Lucas on Tuesday night. She continued, “He’s the one who picked up the phone and said, ‘I need somebody to coach or we don’t have a team Aunt T. Will you please coach? You already know all the boys from basketball. We’ve got this redheaded named Nick, he’s pretty fast. And we got this other big kid named Jess. He’s pretty strong. He’ll probably throw some stuff.’ That was literally the conversation, from a little pre-teen, squawky teenage voice begging me to coach.” That group she started coaching in seventh grade has saw much success on the track, particularly the past two years, and they’ve begun to be rewarded for their efforts by getting the opportunity to continue their careers on the collegiate career. Fittingly, the latest GMen track and field athlete to get the chance to com-

pete in college was Lucas, who signed his letter of intent to compete at Northern Kentucky University on May 17. Lucas was the catalyst that ensured this group of seniors would get to compete as a track team and now becomes the fourth member of the class to get the chance to compete in college. To cap it all off, Lucas will get to compete at NKU with two of his longtime teammates and friends, Jess Adamson and Banon Swartz. Things have worked out pretty well for Lucas, at least in his mind. “I couldn’t ask for a better scenario. Things worked out perfect for me,” Lucas said on Tuesday night. “It’s all kind of fallen right in my lap. I just kind of go with it.” The opportunity to go to NKU, a Division I program that competes in the Atlantic Sun Conference, came about pretty quickly. Adamson was the first G-Men track and field athlete to get a look from NKU and coach Steve Kruse but not the last. In fact, Adamson gently nudged the Norse coaches into looking into Lucas. “Jess was down there on his visit and they were just talking about needing some other runners and he threw my name in,” Lucas explained. “A week later I went to meet them and a couple days after that they made me an offer.” But Lucas is no throw-in for the Norse. He’ll head to the Highland Heights, Ky. campus quite accomplished. He earned SBC-National Division All-League honors all four years he’s been in high school, including first team honors the past three seasons. Lucas is also a four-time Division III regional qualifier. This season Lucas heads to the Division III regional meet to take place at Piqua High School on May 29

and June 1 in two different events. He’ll compete for the fourth straight year in the 4x800 relay while competing in the 4x400 for the first time. Heading to Piqua with an experienced and talented group, Lucas hopes this is the year that he and his relay mates make it to Columbus. “It’ll be a blessing to even get up to state. I’ve never been there. I’ve never got to compete at that level,” Lucas said. “This is our chance. It’s now or never. I think we’ve got a legitimate shot and I think it’s going to be a great race up there (Wednesday).” In addition to his abilities on relay teams, Lucas has put in the work to become successful in individual races. If not for injuries at the district meet, Hawkins felt Lucas could have qualified for regionals in both the 400-meter and 800-meter. “He’s a very versatile kid,” Hawkins said. “Logan is a very good example for the underclassman -- the freshman and sophomores and even the eighth graders. They’re watching these seniors and they’re thinking, ‘I can’t compete with that.’ But that’s where Logan was when he was a freshman. He didn’t have it all figured out. He had not physically matured. That’s where a lot of those kids are. I try to use him as an example.” Needless to say, Lucas, who plans to major in criminal justice along with Adamson, is excited for the opportunity ahead of him at NKU. The best part, though, might be that he gets to share it with two of his best friends -- two guys he played a small part in helping getting to this point. “They’re both great friends. I’ve known them for my entire life,” Lucas said. “They’ve always been some of my best friends. It’s awesome. I couldn’t ask for anything better.”

Cory Kuttler knew exactly what he was looking for in any potential college he would attend. He wanted a school with a good business program. A nice campus with nice dorms wouldn’t hurt. And, oh yeah, he wanted to have a chance to play basketball on the next level, something he always dreamt of doing. With Shawnee State University, Kuttler found exactly what he was looking for so it turned out the decision was pretty easy for the Western Brown senior basketball player. Kuttler signed his letter of intent to play for the Bears on May 21 in the Community Room of Western Brown High School. “I liked the atmosphere of the place,” Kuttler said in a phone conversation on Wednesday. “It really fit me well.” The decision to play for the Bears and coach Jeff Hamilton wasn’t made because it will be easy. Shawnee State, a NAIA program that competes in the Mid-South Conference, is coming off its best season since 2007-08 before the school transitioned from NAIA Division II to Division I. The Bears finished 1614 last season, including a 11-9 mark in the MidSouth Conference. They’ll return seven guards, the position which

Kuttler plays. His high school coach, Western Brown boys basketball Greg Foster, thinks Kuttler will do just fine despite the perceived roadblocks. “It'll be a challenge. He'll eat it up,” Foster said in a phone conversation on Tuesday. “He loves challenges.” While Kuttler himself admitted he’ll need to get stronger -- something he said he plans to work on by getting in the weight room in the summer -- to have a chance to see action as a freshman, Foster thinks Kuttler‘s ability on the defensive end of the floor puts him in position to get some minutes a freshman. “He's one of the best defensive players that our school has probably, if not ever seen, he just had that energy about him. He never got tired. He was constantly going,” Foster said. “He usually guarded the other team's best player if he was 6'3 or shorter. He guarded a lot of great players throughout his career and held them in check for the most part.” Defense isn’t all that Kuttler is good at, though. He averaged a team-best 12.5 points per game last year for the Broncos. He also corralled a team-best 5.7 steals per game. His play the past two seasons for the Broncos earned him back-to-back first team Southern Buckeye Conference-American Division All-League honors.

“(He) handled the ball well enough to get to the basket,” Foster said of Kuttler’s offensive abilities. “When he was on, he was on.” While he said the decision was pretty easy to attend Shawnee State, Kuttler was able to elicit some helpful information along the way. The most compelling was likely what Kuttler received from talking to Shawnee State’s all-time leading scoring and rebounding, Western Brown graduate Tyler Morgan. “He's a stud there. I know him on a personal level. That helped a lot,” Kuttler said of Morgan. “(It) gives me a good feel what to expect and how things are gonna work.” Kuttler didn’t just find a fit on the basketball court when he visited the Portsmouth, Ohio campus. He really liked the school’s business program, which was important because he plans to major in business. An added bonus, the dorms were nice apartment style rooms, which was a small but important detail to Kuttler since he’s ‘kind of OCD about cleanliness.’ All in all, Kuttler found his perfect fit. Not to mention, it was just far enough to not be home but close enough he could get back quickly if he needed to. “I just kind of zoomed in on Shawnee,” he said. “Whenever I went up there I really liked it. I wanted to go there no matter what.”

The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) is offering free boat safety inspections during Memorial Day weekend as well as May and June at public boat launch ramps and during special events statewide. “Start the boating season safe,” said Rodger Norcross, chief of the ODNR Division of Watercraft. “We encourage boaters to take advantage of a free safety inspection to ensure they have all the necessary boating safety equipment

on board and it is in working order.” The free boat safety inspections help increase boating safety awareness at a time when many Ohioans are launching their boats for the first time in a new boating and fishing season. ODNR Division of Watercraft officers provide written courtesy inspections that allow boat owners to make recommended improvements to their boating safety equipment. These free inspections typically examine the condi-

tion of fire extinguishers, navigational lights, horns and distress signals to ensure they are in working order. Officers also check to make sure that the proper type, size and number of life jackets are aboard each boat as required by law to ensure the safety of all boat occupants. Information on locations, dates and times for upcoming vessel safet y inspections is available at: http://watercraft.ohiodnr.go v/events.

Towne (third in the 400meter dash) and Ellis (fourth in the 3200-meter run). Those weren’t the only local track and field athletes who had a good district tournament, however. Western Brown’s Lauren Stacy won the shot put at the very tough Division I district meet at Mason High School last Wednesday and Friday with a throw of 411.25. She also qualified for the regional meet in the discus thanks to her second place finish. Fellow Western Brown senior, Chase Latham, took home a district title, himself, at the Division I district meet at Mason High School. He won the pole vault with a jump of 13-00, which broke a Western Brown school record for the event. It wasn’t just the G-Men who performed well at the Division III district meet at New Richmond last week, either. The Lady G-Men 4x800 relay team of Rachel Gibbons, Kelsey Miller, Megan Williams and Kylie Watson easily won a district title. They won their race by 23 seconds. Gibbons, who was fourth in the 800-meter run, and Watson, who was third in the 3200-meter run, each earned a trip to the regional meet, too. Ripley’s Stephanie Taylor earned her second straight trip to the regional meet after winning the high jump at New Richmond with a jump of 5-00. Fayetteville’s David Watts was the lone Rocket track and field athlete to earn a trip to Piqua and the regionals. He did so by finishing fourth in the 100meter dash.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 28 Both the 4x200 relay team of Delaney Walsh, Shelby Cowdrey, Katie Chaney and Kaylie Ruckel and the 4x400 relay team of Kayla Tomlin, Ruckel, Lauren Towne and Walsh were district champs. The Lady Warriors 4x100 relay team of Alyssa Taylor, Alyssa Sherman, Chaney and Abby Fultz (second place) and the 4x800 relay team of Kansas Castle-White, Rebekah Ellis, Taylor and Tomlin (third place) also earned strong enough finishes to head to the regional meet. “We’re strong in all the relays,” Glasscock said. ”That’s where our strength is.” The Lady Warriors coach has hopes his relay teams continue their strong seasons at regionals. “I’m hoping that all the training that they’ve been doing will play and that they are just now peaking at the right time,” he said. Two other Lady Warriors also earned trips to the regional meets after winning a district title. Walsh won the 400meter dash in a time of 1:03.57. “She’s just came on gangbusters lately,” Glasscock said. “The training has really off for her, the strength training.” Cowdrey, who has battled some back issues the past year, took home the high jump title with a jump of 5-02. “She’s fighting through like a trooper, like the champion she is,” Glasscock said of Cowdrey. Also earning trips to the regional meet for Eastern was Fultz (third in the 100meter hurdles), Ruckel (second in the 100-meter and 200-meter dash),

Rockets: District loss aside, season a success WB wins 11th straight CONTINUED FROM PAGE 28 All in all, Rockets coach Tim Carlier was pretty happy with how things worked out. “We’re pleased,” Carlier said after the game on Friday. “A lot of people had some question marks about how we were going to do. No one expected us to win the sectional. We played some pretty decent ballclubs. Cincinnati Country day, they’re tough. Over the season we’ve stepped it up and played some good ballgames with some ballclubs.” He added, “It is a positive.” Though just getting to the district final game was an accomplishment in itself, the Rockets weren’t just happy to be there. They were looking to get a win that would have advanced them further than any boys sports team in school history. Early on, they played right along with a veteran Raider squad. Russia took an early, 1-0, lead on Brad Schafer’s runscoring double in the second inning. Rockets left fielder Cody Shaw just missed catching the ball with a diving effort. The Rockets looked to have put themselves in position to tie the game in the top of the third inning. Dion Barber and Shaw worked back-to-back walks with two outs. That brought the Rockets three hole hitter, Stephen Pappas, to the plate. He promptly hit a ground ball up the middle that looked destined to head to centerfield and score Barber from second base. It was not to be, however, as Russia second baseman

Andrew Wyder/THE BROWN COUNTY PRESS

Cody Shaw makes a catch in left field during Fayetteville’s district final with Russia last Friday evening in Centerville.

Treg Francis extended himself fully to dive and snatch the ball before it hit the outfield grass. He quickly flipped to shortstop Cole McEldowney covering second for the force on Shaw to end the inning. Little did anyone know at that point that the play would turn out to have been the crucial point of the game. “It let a lot of air out for us,” Carlier said of the play. He added, with a little laugh and an air of expiration,

“I thought after that the boys confidence... that, kind of just...ahh. Hey, it was a good play. What can you say?” Things started going downhill from there for the Rockets. Two errors led to a pair of Raider runs in the third inning to give Russia a three run lead before McEldowney singled in two of the three earned runs Boyer gave up in the fourth to make it a 5-0 game. By that point, the writing was on the wall. Nolan Fran-

cis kept the Rocket hitters off balance, so much so they didn’t pick up its first hit until Dillon Wilson lined a single into center in the fourth. The Rockets couldn’t muster any sort of rally in the four innings after Treg Francis robbed Pappas of his would-be run-scoring hit in the third as the Raiders did just about everything right -fundamentally sound at the plate and in the field. “They made plays and, at times, we didn’t and that’s really the ballgame,” Carlier said. “They played a lot of small ball and they executed.” Returning all but Pappas and first-year senior David Watts, who didn’t see a ton of playing time, the Rockets seem to be primed for the future. A big reason for that was how much team chemistry was built as this season wore on and how much this young team matured. And while Carlier isn’t exactly sure what to expect next year and beyond, he certainly is intrigued about the possibilities. “It’s gonna be exciting, it’s gonna be interesting,” Carlier said. “That’s all I can really say.” Replacing Pappas, a threeyear starting varsity catcher, won’t be easy but he’s left an imprint that will play a major role in how the team moves forward. “He worked hard every time he had an opportunity to work on his game,” Carlier said of his senior catcher. “I believe that a lot of these younger kids have really looked up to him. They’re gonna leave with something they got off of Pappy.”

All Sports Award title The Western Brown Broncos continued its stay atop the All Sports standings in the Southern Buckeye Conference-American Division as they came from four points down going into the spring season to easily out-distance second place New Richmond by six points and win yet another All Sports Award title. Thanks to another strong spring season, one where Western Brown teams won three SBC-A titles in softball, baseball and boys track and finished runnerup in boys tennis and girls track, the school won its 11th straight All Sports Award titles. Also contributing to the winning the All Sports Award were the titles the volleyball team (its seventh in a row) and girls basketball team (its sixth in a row) won during the 201213 sports season. "Our student-athletes

and coaching staff really dedicate themselves in each sport by coming in before school and staying late after school as well as dedicating a lot of time in the offseason to become the best at what they do. We don't always win a league title, but we are usually competitive and right in the hunt for one in most sports each year,” Western Brown athletic director Tim Cook stated. “That is all you can ask for from the coaches and athletes.” The All Sports Trophy is decided by tallying up points from where each team finishes in the standings in each of the sports. Final results for the SBC-American Division All Sports Award standings were: •Western Brown: 73.5 •New Richmond: 67.5 •Amelia: 62 •Bethel: 55 •Goshen: 46 •Norwood: 42

Boling recognized as Teacher of Excellence

Rep. Green displays the Survivor’s Ladder Signature Quilt State Representative Doug Green (R-Mt. Orab) invited Sherylene Crocker, Dawn Mitchell and Lois Mitchell to the Statehouse in Columbus, Ohio to discuss how the American Cancer Society Relay for Life of Clermont County is helping cancer patients and families in his district. Sherry is a survivor of cancer and has gone through

many years of cancer treatment. In her fight against cancer she has been the keeper of the quilts to promote cancer awareness. Sherry’s most recent quilt, called the Survivor’s Ladder Signature Quilt, is hanging outside his office. The front of the quilt has signatures of cancer survivors and for those paying tribute to loved ones

who have passed away. The back of the quilt has signatures of care givers. She is grateful to the Quilting Ministry of the Williamsburg United Methodist Church who kindly agreed to sew the quilt. The quilt helps draw attention to the emotional support cancer patients and families need while going through treatment. “There are not enough

words that I can express how very honored, as well as humbled, to have Representative Green be a champion for my presentation of the Survivor's Signature Ladder Quilt. I really appreciate all of Representative Green’s knowledge and his friendship, but most of all he has made me realize that I am not alone in this fight against cancer.”
