Key witness testifies in Tincher case BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press A key witness testified in the Capital Murder case of Dallas Tincher on July 21, five months before the trial is set to begin. Robert Short, 79, testified under oath and on videotape before Common Pleas Judge Judge Scott Gusweiler. Brown County Prosecutor Jessica Little said in court documents that Short is a key wit-
ness in the case. Little wanted to hold a deposition with Short and get his testimony on the record now, in case his is unavailable to testify during the trial. Short will turn 80 years old this October 31st. After Short was sworn in, he was questioned by Assistant Chris Van Prosecutor Harlingen about a visit paid to him by Tincher and Joseph Hensley. Hensley is accused of killing
John Carpenter of Aberdeen last April at Tinchers direction and also faces the death penalty. Short testified that a man he knew as “Joe” and an older man came to his home near Sardinia, where Short said he conducts “yard sales and garage sales”. Van Harlingen approached Short and gave him a piece of paper, presumably of lineup photos. Van Harlingen pointed to the
paper and asked “Is this Joe?” “Yes”, Short answered. “Is that your signature under his picture?”, Van Harlingen continued. “Yes, it is”, Short answered. Van Harlingen then asked Short about the the gun sale. In the Bill of Particulars filed in the case, the prosectors office asserts that Hensley and Tincher when to Shorts home to buy the gun that was used to kill Carpenter. “What happened that day?”
Van Harlingen asked. “Joe and an older fella came around and he was looking for a gun, not too high priced.” Van Harlingen: “Did Joe pick out a gun?” “Yes, the older fella paid for it, about 150 to 175 dollars”, Short answered. Van Harlingen then asked “Do you see that older fella in the courtroom today?” Short replied “I see someone that could be him by I can’t really say for sure.”
Van Harlingen pressed Short to identify anyone in the courtroom that Short thought could be the “older fella”, but Gary Rosenhoffer, Tincher’s attorney, objected. That objection was sustained by Gusweiler. Van Harlingen then brought Short a picture of a gun and asked “Is this a similar gun to the one you sold Joe?” “Yes, it looks like it”, Short answered.

Cameras are latest crime fighting tool in Mt. Orab BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press
The Brown County Press/WAYNE GATES
The Mt. Orab Police Department has a new crime fighting tool...five new video cameras placed around the village. The cameras are pointed at public areas such as intersections and public roads. The system cost about twenty thousand dollars and was paid for out of the village general fund. Police Chief Bryan Mount said the cameras have been in place for about two weeks and that they are able to see “many businesses and most major intersections” within the village. In a demonstration of the capabilities of the new cameras, Mount zoomed into traffic traveling on West Main Street close enough to be able

A’deen vote petition missing Two horses found near Village police chief investigating matter death rescued from farm By Wayne Boblitt The Brown County Press
They wouldn’t have lasted much longer. Two dehydrated and malnourished mares who were found at a home on Yankeetown Road in the Hamersville area are now recovering under the watchful eye of a horsewoman near Georgetown. Seven year old Chance is an Arabian and five year old Dipsy Dee is a Walker. Both of them were discovered by Brown County Humane Society Members Jan Staubach and Leslie Zurieck in what Staubach called “deplorable conditions”. “They had moldy hay and their water was full of sludge and snails”, Staubach said. “The poor things were so hungry they had chewed on the wood of their pen.” Staubach added that the horses could see grass where they were penned up, but couldn’t get to it. The situation came to the attention of the BCHS after a 911 call about the condition of the horses and calls to the

Brown County Dog Warden and Brown County the Commissioner’s Office. Commissioner Margery Paeltz called Staubach. Staubach and Zurieck made contact with the owner, who voluntarily released the horses to the BCHS. No criminal charges have been filed in the case. “I was shocked when I first saw them”, Staubach said. “You could tell how thirsty they were because they just came running for the water we brought them.” The horses made their way to the farm of Lisa Gray of Georgetown. Gray said she has been taking care of them for a little over a week and is trying to nurse them back to health. When the horses first arrived, they needed round-the-clock care. Gray and her 14 year old niece, Chloe Whaley, took turns feeding the horses a small bit of hay every two hours around the clock to bring their digestive systems back up to full speed. “They have a will to live and they really are trying”, Gray
said. Whaley said she was upset when she first saw the horses. “I didn’t think it was real that they were really that bad”, she said. When asked about the commitment and work required to help the horses, Whaley said “They need someone to do that for them. I feel like we’re giving them a better life now.” Gray said the horses will need six months to a year of care before they will be able to be adopted. After that, the BCHS will work with local horse associations to locate potential adopters for the animals. In a statement to the Press, Zurieck thanked the Southern Ohio Horsemans Network for their advice and support in rescuing the horses. “They supported and guided is through all of this and they have an incredible amount of information for rehabilitating horses at their website (southernohiohorsemansnetwork.org).

But because the Williamsburg Fire dept was so generous in helping us out in the search for those boys, something good came out of it for our fire department. “We tend to check out each others trucks,” says Rhonda Frasier, lieutenant and Clerk treasurer, for Higginsport Fire Department. “It’s just something we do. Old trucks or new trucks, it doesn’t matter, we like to have a look.” According to Chief Ken Wylie, the Williamsburg Fire Department’s 1997 EMT Ford was in service until July of 2009. The vehicle was up for sale but no one showed interest in buying it. “We had something to donate so we did. It’s all about commitment and helping others.” “The residents of the Higginsport area will be happy to know they are getting a new ambulance,” says Starrett with a smile. “When we were taking someone to the hospital not long ago our

A Brown County grand has indicted a jury Hamersville man for two marijuana-related counts in connection with incidents that allegedly occurred on or about this past December in Brown County. The grand jury also indicted six other people on 11 counts altogether for incidents that allegedly occurred in Brown County. All 13 counts with which the seven indicted individuals are charged are fifth-degree felonies. Grand jurors also found no indictment against two other individuals – accused Timothy Burson and Bobby Burton. -Lance V. Corsi, 55, of Hamersville, was indicted on one count each of illegal cultivation of marijuana and possession of marijuana. Corsi allegedly on or about Dec. 10, 2009, knowingly cultivated marijuana in an amount equal to or exceeding 200 grams but less than 1,000 grams. He also allegedly on or about that same date knowingly obtained, possessed or used marijuana in an amount equal to or exceeding 200 grams but less than 1,000 grams. -Tiffany Burnett, 32, of Mt. Orab, was indicted on two counts of forgery and one count of theft. Burnett allegedly between this past March 31 and April 19, forged the writing of a named individual without his authority on a New Richmond National Bank check drawn on his account in the amount of $230. -Ronnie C. Elam, 35, of Higginsport, was indicted on one count of receiving stolen property. Elam allegedly between this past March 1 and 31 received, retained or disposed of personal property worth $500 to $5,000 belonging to a named individual while knowing or having reasonable cause to believe that property had been obtained through the commission of a theft offense. -Shawna Hutchins, 36, of Cincinnati, was indicted on three counts of non-support of dependents. -Hutchins allegedly between Jan. 1, 2008, and this past May 31 recklessly abandoned or failed to provide support, as established by a court order, to three different individuals, identified only by initials, she legally was obligated to support. -Jamie Moon, 32, of Cincinnati, was indicted on two counts each of non-support of dependents. Moon allegedly between Jan. 1, 2008, and this past May 31 recklessly abandoned or failed to provide support, as established by a court order, to two different individuals, identified only by initials, he legally was obligated to support.
-Nicholas Hackney, 30, whose address was listed as “unknown”, was indicted on one count of non-support of dependents. Hackney allegedly between Jan. 1, 2008, and this past May 31 recklessly abandoned or failed to provide support, as established by a court order, to an individual, identified only by initials, he legally was obligated to support. -Joshua Halcomb, 36, whose address was listed as “unknown”, was indicted on one count of non-support of dependents. Halcomb allegedly between Jan. 1, 2008, and this past May 31 recklessly abandoned or failed to provide support, as established by a court order, to an individual, identified only by initials, he legally was obligated to support. An indictment means a grand jury found that enough evidence exists that an accused person likely committed the crime(s) with which he or she is charged. An indictment by itself, however, does not mean the person is guilty of a specific crime or crimes or that he or she actually committed a specific crime or crimes.

Aberdeen still lacks a village administrator following an Aberdeen Village Council vote on July 19. Council members voted this past Monday, however, to hire an engineering firm to work on the village's proposed water treatment plant project. Executive Session Held Council members, meeting in regular session, went into executive session about 9:30 p.m. this past Monday to discuss personnel, and they came out of that closed session about 10:15 p.m. to vote on Mayor Garland Renchen's appointment of Eric Caudill as Aberdeen's new administrator. The mayor said Caudill would be paid $20,800 annually as a part-time administrator and have no accompanying benefits. Council members Billie Eitel and Jay Castle voted to hire Caudill while Councilman Jerry Applegate abstained, citing a conflict of interest. Council President Jason Phillips and councilmen Robert Hutchison and Hugh Hall voted not to hire Caudill. With the vote being three against, two for and one abstaining, a possible 3-3 tie vote didn't result; a tie vote would have allowed Renchen to break that tie and hire Caudill. Renchen had reported at the council's July 6 meeting 21 people had applied to fill the village administrator's position left vacant when former Administrator Don Hafer

The unemployment rate is up slightly in Brown County, the surrounding area and the state.

Thousands lose power during Duke outage BY Wayne Boblitt The Brown County Press An estimated 4,300 Brown County customers lost electrical power the afternoon of July 21 due to a broken cross arm on an electrical pole, according to Cincinnati-based Duke Energy. Duke Spokeswoman Pat Hoffmann said the initial outage occurred about 12:57 p.m., and all customers were back on line about 7 p.m. that Wednesday. Hoffmann said the affected customers were in the Mt. Orab, New Hope, Georgetown, Ripley, Russellville and Lake Waynoka areas. The broken cross arm ended up being located on a feeder line electrical pole in a wooded area along the right of way of U.S. 68 and Bethel-New Hope Road in Scott Township, according to
Hoffmann. She said that feeder line is connected with Duke's Hillcrest 52 Substation on Driver-Collins Road north of Greenbush East Road in Green Township. Hoffmann said as Duke workers labored to find and isolate the problem that caused the power outage, they opened some circuits which allowed some customers who had lost electrical power to get that power back before some other customers did. She mentioned those workers had to go about their isolation efforts methodically and said it apparently was hard to see the problem from the highway because of its location in a wooded area. Hoffmann reported no reason why the cross arm had broke.

state for the highest unemployment rate. Meigs County is number three on that list with a rate of 15.0 percent, followed by Pike County in with 14.5 percent and Noble County with 14.4. Adams County is in sixth place at 14.3. The news is about the same for the region and the state as a whole. The Cincinnati Metropolitan Statistical Area, which includes the Ohio counties of Brown, Clermont, Hamilton, Butler and Warren counties, saw an increase to 9.9 percent in June from the May rate of 9.4 percent. For the state, the jobless rate jumped to 10.4 percent in June from 10.1 percent in May. The return of temporary workers from the United States Census to the workforce may have played a role in the slight increase in the jobless rate. While any increase in the unemployment rate is unwelcome news, the overall numbers are still showing signs of improvement in the economy. Except for a dip to 11.5 percent in November of 2009, the unemployment rate in Brown County is still at the lowest rate it has reached since December of 2008, when it stood at 9.5 percent. The rate jumped to 12.6 percent the following January, peaking at 15.1 percent in February of this year. The jobless rate then began three straight months of decline before rising slightly in June.

resigned earlier this year. Aberdeen currently lacks a village solicitor as well following the recent resignation of Jay Cutrell from that position for “personal reasons”. Ironton Firm Is Selected Council members voted 5-1 this past Monday to hire the Ironton engineering firm of E.L. Robinson to be the engineer on the village's water treatment plant project. The council had voted 4-2 earlier this year, with Eitel and Castle opposed, to construct such a plant rather than have a supplier provide water to Aberdeen as the village seeks to comply with Ohio Environmental Protection Agency mandates regarding its water. Douglas Cade, senior project engineer with E.L. Robinson, spoke to council members this past Monday about work that firm has undertaken to obtain OEPA approval for a second water well site in Aberdeen's Greenspace Area located between the Aberdeen Municipal Building and the Ohio River. Aberdeen Water Superintendent David Jenkins had provided water samples to Cade from another well currently providing water to Aberdeen in that Greenspace Area. That well is one of only two current active wells in the village. Cade sent those samples to MASI Environmental Laboratories in Columbus for analysis.

Letters to the Editor
Is Milacron’s retirement plan in jeopardy? Dear Editor, As a 41-year plus retiree of Cincinnati Milacron, I received disturbing news on June 29, 2010. This news came in the form of a letter from Florence McKercher, Field Benefit Administration. Her first sentence stated: Pension Benefit “The Guaranty Corporation (PBGC), a U.S. Government agency, is now responsible for your pension plan.” Stop! Hold on! Were those 17 introductory words consoling or were they more like a “Dear John” letter? To say the least, I was surprised, but not pleasantly. First, I retired July, 1998. You’d think twelve years should be long enough so that one would not have to worry about a retirement pension. Evidently, that’s not so. Second, before this letter arrived in my mail box, I had
never heard of nor had any idea that a corporation named PBGC existed. Then, to learn that it was a U.S. Government run agency overseeing my pension brought me more heartache. Third, and most upsetting and confusing is I have learned, since receiving my June “Dear John” letter, that PBGC has its own set of capital and honesty dilemmas. According to the AARP Bulletin (July-Aug. 2010, Vol. 51, No. 6), Michelle Diament wrote that a PBGC “is facing financial and security troubles” and “could soon need a bailout of its own.” Compare this set of PBGC problems to those reported by ABCNews.com journalist’s Brian Ross and Rhonda Schwartz in Nov. 7, 2008 about Freddie Mac: “The Securities and Exchange Commission filed a complaint against Freddie Mac, known formally as the
Congress and federal auditors. Grassley’s remarks highlighted several instances where the PBGC told auditors that steps were taken to correct problems with contractors when auditors reported that they were not. (Oops! The ninth commandment is again broken.) In addition, PBGC Committee Chairman Herb Kohl, DWis., said, “The pensions of one in six Americans [about 40 million retirees] are potentially on the line.” So Milacron retirees in Adams, Brown, and Clermont counties, perhaps we should heed the advice of the writer of Ecclesiastes: “There is a time to be silent and a time to speak” (3:7b). I’ve already launched my spoken missile to Bubp and Schmidt to learn the “truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth” about PBGC. Now I’ll prayerfully wait for their timely reply. Doug Carter
Writer says ‘we need to practice more grace’ Dear Editor: Every once in a while I get into a discussion with someone on the subject of sin, and, of course, everyone has an opinion on what sin is or is not. Several weeks ago, I had a fellow tell me that he hadn’t heard a preacher talk about sin for a long time and it was long overdue in his church. The people needed a good, hot sermon about sin, hellfire and damnation. I asked the man, “So what do you think sin happens to be? What specifically are you looking for?” He said, “I want to hear the preacher talk about what the Bible says about sin, you know, smoking, drinking, gambling, sex, going to movies, dancing, things like that.” (Bless his heart, some people have just never been taught any better. Notice how he lumps things together that are more a matter of cultural perspective than actual sin.) So then, what is sin? It’s an archery term which means
“missing the mark.” Everybody misses the mark at some point, but it isn’t the same for everybody because different people have different weaknesses and different struggles. For example, consuming alcohol. there is no prohibition in the scriptures against consumption of alcohol, but there is a prohibition against drunkeness. Speaking for myself, I’m an alcoholic, but I’ve been clean and sober for a prolonged period of time. I can’t honestly say that it’s wrong for anyone to consume and alcoholic beverage, but it would be of severe consequence for me to do so. Therefore, if I were to do it, then I would be “missing the mark.” It’s a matter of my sin. Her’s another good one, sex. is sex a sin? No, sex is a gift from God. It’s the cheapening of sex that happens to be a sin. The exploitation of the human body and the reducing of another person to nothing more than an object of one’s perversion. When this hap-

Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, because it had misreported profits by billions of dollars in order to deceive investors between the years 2000 and 2002” (italic emphasis mine). Now back to AARP’s story. According to Michelle Diament, an audit last fall found PBGC “did not have effective internal control over financial reporting (including safeguarding assets) and its operations. [And that] PBGC is chronically under-funded, with shortfalls in the billions of dollars.” (Is this another Freddie Mac debacle in the making?) Don’t lose heart brother retirees because members of Congress are now alarmed. Duh! In a letter this spring to the PBGC’s acting director, Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, called out the program for making “false statements” (Is that the same as a lie?) to

pens, we take a gift of God and turn it into something evil. But is sex, in and of itself, a sin? Not in the least. It’s all about what we do with it. Is dancing a sin? Well, no, the Bible speaks of David dancing before the Lord, naked even, as the Ark of the Covenant is being paraded through the streets. In this case, dancing is both seen as celebratory and as worship. there are many references to dancing along these lines in the Bible (Personally, I think dancing is fun.) But what about when Salome danced before King Herrod and aroused his lust, which led to the beheading of John the Baptist? Well, what can you say? Just because Salome hochie-coochied in front of a pervert like Herrod, and got him all fired up, doesn’t mean that everyone who dances is
committing a sin. Yes, there is such a thing as sin, all of us do it because all of us end up missing the mark at times, but we need to take a personal inventory and honestly ask ourselves in what areas are we the most vulnerable. Where we are the most vulnerable is most likely where we’ll find sin waiting to occur. In this case, I can’t speak for everyone else, i can only speak for myself. Does anyone have difficulty with a bad temper? How about gossip? How about being a control freak? How about being overly perfectionistic? How about being judgemental? How about being a racist or a bigot? In other words, our sins are many and we are all in need of grace and redemption. Thus, we all need to practice more grace. Rev. Sam Talley

DANNY BUBP ployment rates. House Bill 240 is another “Future of Ohio” bill that targets inefficiency. This legislation spearheads Medicaid reform, striving to eliminate waste and fraud while helping the program to better serve its recipients. Forty percent of Ohio’s General Revenue Fund goes to Medicaid annually. In 2010, this program could cost taxpayers almost $13.4 billion—up $1 billion from 2009. Such a dramatic increase should not come at a time when Ohio’s families are already struggling to make ends meet. House Bill 240 would enact many of the $400 million savings that the Auditor of State identified in a 2006 Medicaid performance audit. This would equate to a $122 million annual savings for Ohio’s taxpayers. Additionally, House Bill 240 would create an e-prescribing system for Medicaid users and set up Disease Management, Management, and Case Alternative Care programs. The “Future of Ohio” government reform package is the key to bringing economic success to our state. Common sense reforms, such as House Bills 25 and 240, would reverse the damage done by the irresponsible policies of the House Democrats and the Strickland administration. Unfortunately, to date, none of the “Future of Ohio” proposals have received a vote on the House floor. Ohio needs a bipartisan effort to restore fiscal responsibility to our state government. As your representative, I will continue to support legislation that would grow our economy and streamline our government, because the well-being of all Ohioans depends on it. I hope to see you at the Clermont County Fair beginning this Sunday, July 25 and running through Saturday, July 31st.

Ohio’s families, communities, and economy have been hit hard in the past year. We are approaching the fifteenth consecutive month of unemployment in the state, and an $8 billion deficit awaits the citizens of Ohio in the next budget. With all this economic turmoil brewing within the state’s borders, I, along with my colleagues in the Ohio House of Representatives Republican Caucus, have identified government bloat as the culprit. House Democrats and Governor Ted Strickland have endorsed fiscal irresponsibility. As a result, government waste and spending have spiraled out of control, and Ohioans are suffering the financial consequences. To rein in spending and streamline state government, House Republicans have introduced the “Future of Ohio” government reform package. With this package, my colleagues and I aim to restore accountability, transparency, and fiscal discipline to Ohio’s government. The government reform package consists of ten bills, each proposing an innovative initiative to address Ohio’s economic problems. Reforming government through these measures will save taxpayers’ money, create a more efficient government, and boost economic growth. House Bill 25 is one of the “Future of Ohio” proposals that seeks to consolidate state agencies. Ohio’s executive branch is a prime example of the government bloat plaguing the state. Twenty-four departments and more than 300 commissions, boards, councils and task forces make up this extremely inefficient branch of our state government. House Bill 25 would reduce the number of departments to 11, focusing specifically on core missions, including education, development and resource protection. In addition to improving efficiency, streamlining Ohio’s executive branch would also save taxpayers approximately $1 billion. By easing the tax burden and reducing the $8 billion deficit, we would be inducing economic expansion and slashing unem-

The GEVS District Board of Education at its regular meeting June 19 approved final appropriations for this past fiscal year presented to them by District Treasurer Eric Toole and also temporary appropriations for the new fiscal year, which began July 1. The overall final budget for the 2009-10 FY ended up being $10,110,750 with the General Fund including $7,721,462. Toole reported in a telephone interview the district had budgeted $7,761,462 at the beginning of that fiscal year with $10,358,176 budgeted for its General Fund. The treasurer said the final budget for the preceding fiscal year (2008-09) was $11,247,197 overall and $8,243,045 in the General Fund. This past fiscal year's appropriations were down from the year before because of the recession and other factors. Board members on June 16 approved a temporary budget recommended by Toole that appropriated $2,735,813 overall and $2,051,856. The
treasurer said that money is to pay the district's financial obligations for now, and a permanent budget for the 2010-11 FY will have higher overall and General Fund appropriations when it is adopted, possibly in September. Also at that meeting: -The board approved a tentative agreement with the Georgetown Federation of Teachers (the district's teachers' union). The terms of that agreement will be incorporated into the new master contract that will be effective Wednesday, Sept. 1, 2010, through Saturday, Aug. 31, 2013. -Rusty Vermillion from the Brown County Health Department discussed the air quality monitoring at the Rumpke Landfill in Pleasant Township east of the GEVS District's schools and administrative offices in Georgetown. -The board adopted the 2010-11 Junior/Senior High School Parent/Student Handbook as presented. -Georgetown Junior-Senior High School Principal Perianne Germann updated the board on preliminary Ohio Graduation Test and Ohio Assessment Achievement scores. Final scores along the district's Annual Report Card will be available by August. -Georgetown Elementary
School Principal Rebecca Honaker updated the board on potential elementary school handbook changes and preliminary OAA scores. -District Maintenance and Custodial Supervisor Mark Pack provided a written report to board members on district buildings and grounds issues. -A card was read from Bill Arn, who most recently served as a GES fifth-grade mathematics teacher, expressing his gratitude to board members for their support during his educational career. Arn will not be returning to the GEVS District this coming school year. Board members held a special meeting on June 28 to vote on some personnel matters. The board on that date approved Howard Willis, Keara Peterson, and Richard Cahall as substitute teachers in the district for the coming school year and hired the following certified employees for the 2010-11 School Year with one-year contracts: -Aubrey Bolender and Melissa Elliott, intervention specialists. -Kyle Seibert, GES fifth and sixth-grade science teacher. -Neil Malone, Georgetown High School mathematics teacher. The board also approved a supplemental contract for
Chad Sexton as GHS and Georgetown Junior High School boys and girls cross country coach for the 2010-11 School Year. Board members approved as well Mark Caudill and Dick Colwell as volunteer assistant coaches for the GHS varsity boys soccer team for the upcoming school year.

Lake Waynoka Days is successful By Wayne Boblitt The Brown County Press The Annual Lake Waynoka Days was a successful festival on July 17, festival Chairwoman Betty Purdin reported. “I think it was the biggest we ever had,” Purdin reported in a July 21 telephone interview. She said about 1,000 cars were counted parked in the front area of the festival's location and she estimated there may have been that many vehicles parked in another location. The festival enables Lake Waynoka social organizations to raise money for different projects to benefit the Lake Waynoka residential community, Purdin reported. She mentioned swing sets and picnic tables placed in the lake area as examples of such projects that have been undertaken. The money raised by the Lake Waynoka Shawnee Squaws go toward paying for the fireworks show held at Lake Waynoka during Labor Day Weekend, Purdin mentioned. An auction conducted by auctioneer Larry Downing raised $1,031 at this year's Lake Waynoka Days, Purdin

reported. That money goes to help needy families not only in the Lake Waynoka community but in other Eastern Brown County communities as well. She said she wanted to thank all contributors of the merchandise that was auctioned off this past weekend. Festival fund-raising activities included indoor bingo, outdoor poker, horseshoe and cornhole tournaments, a Split The Pot, and a Cake Walk in which participants stopped on different numbers when festival disc jockey John Bellamy stopped playing music.
This year's Lake Waynoka Days had a temporary interruption when a downpour of about 20 minutes occurred, but the festival continued as usual when the rain had concluded. “Even though it rained a little bit, we were still lucky,” Purdin remarked about how generally pleasant the weather was at this year's Lake Waynoka Days. “Everything went great”, she summed up the 2010 festival while adding, “We owe a big thanks to everyone who helped make Lake Waynoka Days a success.”

ODOT plans resurfacing work in Mt. Orab in 2016 Although the labor is not anticipated for six years, Mt. Orab Village Council members approved an ordinance on July 20 authorizing state work to resurface a portion of U.S. 68 (High Street) within the village. Mt. Orab Mayor Bruce Lunsford presented the ordinance to council members at their only scheduled meeting for July. Work Is Slated For 2016 Ohio Department of Transportation District 9 in Chillicothe had sent Lunsford correspondence indicating ODOT's proposal to resurface a portion of U.S. 68 in Mt. Orab in Fiscal Year 2016. “In order for us to proceed with the project, it is necessary that we have the appropriate documents adopted by your council,” the correspondence stated. The village in the ordinance agrees all rights of way required for the project will be acquired and/or made available in accordance with current state and federal regulations. Grant Account Created Also at this past Tuesday's meeting, council members voted to create a new expenditure account in connection with a federal Assistance to Firefighters Grant the village had received to purchase hel-
mets and bunker gear for Mt. Orab firefighters. Mt. Orab Fire Chief Lisa Reeves had informed Lunsford she had spoken with Mt. Orab Chief Fiscal Officer Michael Boyd about the AFG, which the Mt. Orab Fire Department had been awarded earlier this year, and Boyd had requested MOFD obtain council approval to create a new expenditure account for the project and move $2,913 into that account from the village's General Fund. That amount represents the village's 5 percent contribution for receiving the grant, Reeves informed Lunsford. The mayor in turn informed council members the federal contribution is $55,347. Council members at the
meeting also approved the following MOFD and Mt. Orab Life Squad staffing changes requested by Reeves: -Hire Joseph Huhn as a part-time paramedic effective July 20; -Hire Glen Liming as a paid per call Emergency Medical Technician effective July 20; -Hire Chris Mitchell as a part-time Basic EMT/firefighter effective July 20; -Change Josh Wilmoth's status to part-time paramedic and firefighter retroactive to June 29; -Change Ronald Drees' status to part-time Basic EMT/firefighter retroactive to March 13; -Terminate Mary Cameron's employment effec-

Mayor Bruce Lunsford honored the Mt. Orab Lions Club at the Mt. Orab Village Council meeting on July 20 by proclaiming this Monday, July 26, as Mt. Orab Lions Club Day in the village. Lunsford mentioned how that club has done a lot for the Mt. Orab community over the last few years and added, “I thought it was past overdue to recognize the Lions for what they do.” The proclamation Lunsford read stated: “Whereas, the Village of Mt. Orab is proud to recognize and support the Mt. Orab Lions Club; “Whereas, the Mt. Orab Lions Club was founded in
1951 and has been going strong for nearly 60 years; “Whereas, the Mt. Orab Lions Club is involved in many projects and has provided excellent examples of community service; “Whereas, the Lions Club has been and continues to be a valuable asset to the residents of the Village of Mt. Orab and surrounding areas; “Now, therefore, be it resolved that I, Bruce Lunsford, do hereby proclaim Monday, July 26, 2010, as Mt. Orab Lions Club Day.” The mayor afterward presented a copy of the resolution to six Mt. Orab Lions Club members who were in attendance. He also read a brief history of the national Lions Club organization and the Mt. Orab chapter. Some specific projects he mentioned Mt. Orab Lions Club members have been involved in over the years include:
-Purchasing and placing of street name signs. -Supporting uniformed Pee Wee football teams and Mt. Orab's Fire Department and the start of the life squad serving the village. -Purchasing lights for a local ball park. -Starting the Positive Image Group. -Installing highway welcome signs. -Sponsoring Buckeye Girls State and Boys State students. -Providing college scholarships. -Supporting sponsorships to Camp Dovetail, Ohio Lions All State Band members and Seeing Eye dog programs. -Contributing to such sports programs as Knothole baseball and youth soccer. -Purchasing an American flag for the Western Brown High School Gymnasium in Mt. Orab. -Donating the picnic shelter house at the Mt. Orab Community Park located near
the Mt. Orab Municipal Building. “On behalf of the Village of
New Aberdeen committee set up to seek federal grants By Wayne Boblitt The Brown County Press A new committee in Aberdeen will seek to obtain federal grants in an effort to bring more jobs to that Southern Brown County village. Aberdeen Village Council members at their regular meeting on July 19 unanimously approved that committee's creation requested by Councilman Robert Hutchison, who said it is to be called the Community Alliance for the Creation of Jobs. Hutchison said the village doesn't have enough jobs, and more jobs would mean more money coming into the village (through its 1 percent income tax). The councilman said the village needs good water and sewer infrastructure to be able to attract businesses.
He said he was volunteering to chair the committee and hoped Mayor Garland Renchen would co-chair it with him. One of the committee's goals, he mentioned, was to go after federal grants that might help Aberdeen create or attract jobs. He added he would like to create at least 200 new jobs in Aberdeen in the next couple of years. Also at last Monday's meeting, council members had questions about gasoline bills submitted by village employees in connection with their work. Councilman Jerry Applegate noted about 600 gallons of gasoline had been purchased in a two-week period for use by village workers who had been mowing around Aberdeen. He commented that was a lot of mowing for a village with only a 3-mile to 4-mile span. Renchen mentioned village workers “have been doing a lot of mowing”, and Aberdeen

Fiscal Officer Rhonda Bothman reported gasoline bills from a Marathon station turned in to the village were itemized “day by day”. By comparison, Aberdeen Police Chief Clark Gast reported Aberdeen police officer had paid for 214 gallons of gas for their police vehicles during a two-week period. Councilwoman Billie Eitel said Renchen needs to look into deciding what the most economical steps are regarding village workers and their use of gasoline in their labor, adding, “I agree the (amount of) gas (used) is way too high.” Council members voted 3-3 on a motion to pay all the village's bills submitted at that meeting with Renchen breaking that tie and voting “yes” for approval. The other “yes” votes came from Applegate, Eitel and Councilman Jay Castle while Hutchison, Council President Jason Phillips, and Councilman Hugh Hall voted “no”. In other matters at last Monday's council meeting: -Council members wondered about possible solutions when Renchen mentioned 170 inactive water accounts in the village were costing the village about $3,060 per month. He added the village has to pay $2,125 for garbage service each month regarding inactive accounts. -The council voted unanimously to permit the planting of a buckeye tree in Aberdeen Community Park with an accompanying informational stone to honor Al Rhonemus, a former Huntington Township resident who had been very active in many Brown County community and agricultural activities including 4-H clubs involving Aberdeen youths. Rhonemus, who died earlier this year at age 83, was a big Ohio State University Buckeyes sports fan, according

Creature Feature Preventative care for your dog BY DR. DAN MEAKIN First and foremost an annual physical exam by your veterinarian is the most important preventative measure for your trusted companion. A thorough physical exam will alert you to conditions before they become problems, and assure you that your pet is healthy enough to respond properly to the vaccinations. While receiving an exam, your pet can have it’s toenails trimmed for no extra charge. Pets will hide their illnesses, so physical exams are important. There are several canine vaccinations available. DHLPP is a five in one vaccine which protects against Canine Distemper, hepatitis, leptospirosis, parainfluenza, and parvovirus. It is required for all hospitalized, boarded, or groomed dogs. Puppies between the ages of 6 and 18 weeks should receive boosters every 3 weeks. Puppies are more susceptible to these diseases than an adult. Once finished with series of boosters, annual boosters are given. Adult dogs receive a yearly DHLP-P vaccination. An adult unvaccinated dog receives two vaccines three to four weeks apart. Rabies vaccinations are required by law for all dogs over four months. Puppies receive one year rabies vaccine at three to four months of age. Adult dogs receive a rabies vaccine every three years after the initial vaccine. Bordatella, or kennel cough, vaccinations is recommended for all dogs.
The cough is highly contagious from dog to dog. Vaccination is required when boarding your pet and when enrolling in an obedience class. Semiannual boosters may be necessary for higher exposure. Parasites require a microscopic examination of a fecal specimen to detect. Semi-annual fecal examinations are recommended. Fleas are a common problem for outside dogs. It is easier to prevent fleas than to treat an infestation. Do not waste money on over-the-counter flea products. The best preventative options include Frontline,
Program, Advantage, and Revolution. Program will prevent flea reproduction. Frontline and advantage kill adult fleas. Top spots is the most convenient and is applied as a small amount of liquid over the shoulder monthly. Some additional things to remember about fleas are, if swallowed fleas can transmit tapeworms. The pet’s environment must be treated with a premise spray. Dr. Dan Meakin is the owner of All Creatures Animal Hospital, 1894 Ohio Pike in Amelia. Call (513) 797-PETS.

WHO WILL GO FOR US? Isaiah 6: “In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly. And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory. And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke.” Can you even imagine a cry that would move the posts of the temple? The smoke represented the presence of Almighty God. Our God is a consuming fire. Do you remember when Moses led the children of Israel out of Egypt? Exodus 13:21 tells us: “And the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night.” And when they came to the Red Sea Exodus 14:19-20 tells us: “...and the pillar of the cloud went from before their face, and stood behind them: And it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel; and it was a cloud and darkness to them, but it gave light by night to these; so that the one came not near the other allnight.” Then God parted the Red Sea for the children of Israel to cross over on dry ground and the Egyptians tried to follow. Verses 24-25: “And it came to pass, that in the morning watch the LORD looked unto the host of the Egyptians, And took off the chariot wheels, that they drave them heavily: so that the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel; for the LORD fighteth for them against the Egyptians.” However they did not get far. God closed the waters and the Egyptian army was drown. That same cloud of smoke which protected the children of Israel From the Egyptians is the same smoke which filled the temple in Isaiah 6:4. And as I said before, this smoke represented the presence of God. Then Isaiah said: “...Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts.

Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.” The seraphim finished speaking and God began to speak. Isaiah heard the voice of the Lord. What a magnificent experience that would be! Can you imagine this scene which Isaiah saw? Just picture the LORD on His throne, seraphims crying Holy, the posts of the temple shaking, and a seraphim touching a live coal to the lips of Isaiah! What was this important message all about? What was God’s question? “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” Did you notice the word us? Who will go for the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost? The Father sent His Son; the Son died for us; and the Holy Ghost is in us. Who will go for Them? Way back in Saginaw, Michigan in the early 50’s I heard brother Edwards preaching and he was quoting this verse: “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” I said: I will; I’m not much; I am just a farmer but I will go; send me. I did not know very much about the Bible but I was willing to go and to do whatever the Lord required of me. In verse 9 God said: “Go, and tell this people...” What will I tell people? I will tell them about the Gospel of Jesus Christ; What will you tell them? Is the message that you are telling the one God wants you to give? Are you willing to tell God: “Here am I; send me.” Or do you think your message is more important than God’s word?

A’deen vote petition missing CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Office so that board could look over it and determine whether it had enough legitimate signatures to qualify for placing on the Nov. 2 General Election Ballot. Aberdeen's fiscal clerk, in a July 20 telephone interview, said village backhoe operator Elston Mason contacted Mayor Garland Renchen about the matter, and Renchen came to the Utilities Office. She said she and the mayor searched around that office thinking perhaps someone had laid it to the side, but it could not be located. Bothman said she had left the Utilities Office to begin her weekend off about 3:25 p.m. the previous Friday, July 16, but the office still was open. She said while she didn't know at what time someone closed the office, she reported Aberdeen Clerk of Courts Bernice Johnson, who works in another office on the same floor in that building, had clocked out at 4:25 p.m. that Friday. Aberdeen Police Lt. Keith Reinhardt learned about the missing petition, and in a July 20 telephone interview, Aberdeen Police Chief Clark Gast said Reinhardt notified him of the situation about 10:30 a.m. July 19. Gast said the person who may have taken the petition could be a member of the general public, a village employee or someone involved some other way with the village.
Office Is Searched Gast said he evacuated everyone including village workers out of the Utilities Department Office, and he, Reinhardt, and Bothman searched for the petition with no success. He said he had been in touch with the offices of BCBE, the Ohio Secretary of State and the Brown County Prosecuting Attorney regarding the matter. The police chief said if the petition has been stolen, someone likely may be attempting to keep Aberdeen citizens from speaking their minds at the ballot box about whether to purchase water from a company or to support the Aberdeen Village Council's previous decision to build a water treatment plant in the village. “In my mind, that's one of the worst crimes you can commit,” the chief said about the possible petition theft. Calling it a serious crime, Gast said a serious investigation is due. There was some talk about the missing petition at the Aberdeen Village Council's regular meeting on July 19. It was mentioned a reporter from The Ledger Independent, a daily newspaper in neighboring Maysville, Ky., had been tipped by someone about the petition theft before Gast knew about it. Bothman, in her telephone interview, said the reporter had mentioned someone had called to inform her about the missing

petition. When some council members at last Monday's meeting discussed the missing petition, Gast told them it was improper for them to do so at a public meeting as a police investigation was going on in the matter and asked them to stop that discussion. Council members had voted earlier that night to change the lock on the Utilities Office and allow only designated village personnel such as the fiscal officer, the mayor, the village administrator (which Aberdeen currently lacks) and the clerk of courts to have keys to the lock. It was mentioned at the meeting it had been a while since that lock had been changed, and Bothman said in her telephone interview it was not known how many people may have had a key to the Utilities Office lock that the council voted to replace. In his telephone interview, Gast said anyone who may have information about the missing petition may call the Aberdeen Police Office confidentially and ask for him at (937) 795-2214. Petition Organizer Speaks Aberdeen resident Gene Riley, who started the citizen initiative drive, said in a July 15 telephone interview the majority of Aberdeen voters do not want a water treatment plant constructed to bring about more debt for the village. He said 99 percent of 362 respondents to a survey in The Ledger Independent said they preferred the village purchase water from Pleasant Townshipbased Brown County Rural Water Association rather than build a water treatment plant. Bothman confirmed in a July 22 telephone interview another water system purchasing petition had been circulated and turned in with signatures on July 20 for display at the Aberdeen Utilities Office. Long said ballot initiative petitions must be turned in to the BCBE Office by Wednesday, Aug. 4, in order to be looked at by the Elections Board for possible certification and placement on the Nov. 2 ballot.
What started out as a simple job offer from a neighbor turned into a 40 year career for Dave Taylor. “My next door neighbor was the Postmaster in Batavia and he offered me a job," Taylor said. "I was going to go to college and play basketball, but I was just a farm boy from Goshen and I thought that was a lot of money." 1970’s postal workers took turns performing all the duties at the Batavia Post Office. Taylor said he has been a clerk, a carrier, and a distributor. He even served as temporary Postmaster of the Owensville post office and worked as a janitor. For the people on his routes in Batavia and the Willowbrook and Glen Este area, he was their mail carrier for 30 years. I got to know a lot of the parents in the neighborhood and their kids, and then some of their kids," Taylor said. "One couple moved to Florida and they stopped in to see if I was still delivering the mail." In addition to befriending the residents on his route, Taylor said there was a time when most of his coworkers were from Owensville and they were a tight-nit group. “It was nice. At first we were a family but as the years got down that changed," Taylor said. "Over 40 years you get introduced to a lot of people." He said he plans to keep in touch with many of the people he met on his route over the years. “They stop in to see me every once in a while," Taylor said. Now that he is retired he spends his days working on his five acre homestead near Sardinia and volunteering at church. He said he plans to take it easy. “Over the course of 40 years a lot has changed at the post

office”, Taylor said. “There are a lot more restrictions on employees.” Gone are the days when everyone did every job. Postal workers now have one specific job and cannot often change. Taylor also saw the introduction of pre-sorted mail through the use of computers. While most letters are still sorted by hand by the carriers, Taylor said he would not be surprised to hear that everything will be pre-sorted in the future. Taylor said he never had the fabled problems with dogs. He only had one run in with a dog and it was a mutual shock.I met a dog at a corner and I think we scared each other," Taylor said. "We walked

Mount also said that video can also be reviewed to fight false allegations against an individual. Mount added that he hoped to see a reduction in the amount of breaking and entering incidents and thefts as word of the cameras spreads through the area. Mount has plans to expand the system as funding permits. One goal is to buy at least one portable wireless camera that can be tied into the system and placed wherever it’s needed. Mount said he would also
like to get a license plate reader and place it on Highway 68 near the police department. The reader would automatically scans the plates of the cars driving by and compare them to a list of plates that are “flagged” for drivers license suspensions, outstanding arrest warrants or reported stolen. When a “flagged” plate is discovered, the system generates an e-mail to the police department. Mount said he is pursuing a grant from the Department of Homeland Security to pay for the license plate reader. “Our goal is to solve 100 percent of the crimes and this system is a tool that will help us toward that goal”, Mount said.

Short was then dismissed from the stand. His videotaped testimony will only be used if Short is declared unavailable to testify at trial by Gusweiler.

Brett and Brandon Carrington (Eastern) display their medals and the team trophy from the district title.
Wise got the win on the mound for Hillsboro. He worked eight innings, allowing two runs, both earned, on eight hits. Wise walked three and struck out six. Dillon tossed one inning of scoreless relief. He allowed one hit and struck out one. Wise, Brandon Arehart (Wilmington), Steagall, Walker, Kibler and Brett Carrington (Eastern) collected one hit each. Again, the Post 129 defense was superb. Brandon Carrington (Eastern) came off the bench late in the game and robbed a Post 62 batter of a hit in left field. The team had two different sacrifices, both leading to runs. The pitching was solid for a second-straight night. On Saturday, Post 129/Post 14 faced off against Post 62 for a second time in as many days. The result was the same as Hillsboro defeated Chillicothe by a score of 8-2. Post 129 had an error in the game, but it came in the eighth inning and did not lead to a run for the opposition. Sam Louden (North Adams) got the win on the hill in a complete game effort. Louden
allowed two runs, both earned, on seven hits. He walked one and struck out one. The win marked Louden’s second great game of the week. He kept the ball low in the zone and never got into trouble all day. It was a good way to cap off a fine week of baseball from the Hillsboro pitching staff. Steagall led the offense with three hits. Hughes and Brett Carrington added two hits each. Wise, Arehart, Zach Uhl (McClain), Shaver, Walker and Nathaniel Miller (Fairfield) chipped in one hit each. Post 129/Post 14 stands at 19-15 overall on the season and will start state tournament play on Monday (opponent will be determined by blind draw on Sunday). The Hillsboro/Bainbridge American Legion team would like to thank Holman Motors, Sherwood Auto, Alley 21, S and K Dairy Cup, Richard Shaffer Park and its ground crew and concession stand, parents and all other local businesses and individuals for donating time, money, food and transportation for the team. The program would not run without you.

For the first time in 12 years, the Hillsboro Post 129/Bainbridge Post 14 American Legion baseball team has qualified for state tournament play by winning the District 7 tournament. Hillsboro drew a bye in the first round of the tournament and proceeded to defeat Chillicothe Post 757 and Chillicothe Post 62 (twice) to earn a berth to the American Legion State Tournament in Lancaster this week. The kids really played together. The defense was outstanding, the starting pitchers worked deep into each game, the hitting was timely and each player took it upon himself to play the game how it is supposed to be played. On Wednesday, Hillsboro beat Chillicothe 757 by a score of 4-2. Post 129 scored once in the eighth and once in the ninth, following seven innings of a 22 ball game. Tucker Hughes (Miami Trace) picked up the win on the mound in 7 2/3 innings of work. He allowed two runs, both earned, on nine hits. Hughes walked three and fanned five. Jacob Dillon (McClain) got the save in 1 1/3 innings of relief. He allowed no runs and two hits while striking out one. Corey Walker (Hillsboro) led Post 129 with two hits. Logan Wise (McClain), Airic Steagall (Hillsboro), Matt Kibler (East Clinton) and Cody Shaver (Wilmington) added one hit each. This game was particularly exciting since Post 757 had knocked Hillsboro out of the league race just four days earlier. On Friday, Hillsboro Post 129/Bainbridge Post 14 won the final game of the winner’s bracket by defeating Chillicothe Post 62 by a score of 8-2.

It was another scorcher Friday night at Moler Raceway Park and the racing action was just as hot as the weather. The Sunesis Construction Late Models kicked things off with Edinburgh, Indiana’s Chad Stapleton and Bethel, Ohio’s Rick Combs claiming heat race wins to set the field for the feature. In the A-Main, Stapleton jumped to an early lead, followed by Combs and defending track champion Barry Doss. Those three raced closely with Stapleton leading the first 13 laps and Doss and Combs applying heavy pressure while battling back-andforth for second. Finally, on lap 14, Doss was able to get underneath Stapleton to take the lead for good and capture his third victory of the season in his Gabbard Ford, Howser’s Discount & Garage,
Doss Contracting, D&G Trucking, Holman Motors sponsored machine. Combs eventually had mechanical trouble and left the track, ruining an otherwise strong evening. Lil’ John Whitney came home third, claiming his sixth top-five finish of the season, followed by “The Big Show” Robby Hensley and 14-year-old Ethan Burgess . There were 22 cars in attendance in the Mt. Orab Ford Modified division, and it was Glen Este’s Shane Mugavin, Manchester’s Jeff Arnold and and UMP Modified national points leader, Devin Gilpin of Columbus, Indiana, taking the heat-race wins. In the A-Main it was all Gilpin as he jumped to a large lead early and never looked back, claiming his seventh win of the year in dominating fashion in his Dasco Race Supply, Impressive Race Cars machine. Corey Skipton, of Greendale, Indiana, came home second, followed by Late Model veteran, “The
Jedi” Jerry Bowersock, Hamersville’s Randy Wash and Mugavin finished out the top five. The AMSA Mini Sprints took the track next as a special treat for the MRP faithful, and it was Bainbridge, Ohio’s Brian Broughton who claimed the win as he quickly stormed his way to the front from his fifth starting spot despite being caught up in lapped traffic towards the end of the race. The AMSA returns to MRP for the final time this season on Aug. 13, in what is sure to be another exciting show. Holman Motors The Chevette division had a strong field of cars on hand, as usual, and it was two Georgetown drivers, Miles Tarvin and Sean Jones, taking the checkers in heat-race action. In the feature, it was all Tarvin as he took the lead from the pole and never looked back, taking the win and gaining some ground on current points
leader Jeff Watson in track championship standings. It was the fourth win on the season for the Brown County Pork Producers, Bolender Farms, P&G Farms, Positive Therapy Services, Patriot Signs car. It was another solid run for Hillsboro’s Rusty Yarger, as he claimed second, followed by Jones, Watson, and Josh Francis. The US Race Gear Street Stocks closed out the night’s races and it was Jamey Adams of Laurelville, Ohio and Shane Pendleton of Stout, Ohio taking heat-race wins to set the field for the final AMain. Adams jumped to an early lead and dominated all 15 laps, taking his third win in three visits to the track this season in his Helterbran Trucking, Thomas Gas, RA Smith Photo, and Precision Grinding sponsored machine.

The Ohio River is known for its beauty and recreation, but it is also plays a major part in bringing visitors to Brown County. The river is a draw not just in the summer, but all year. Visitors want to see it when the water comes up and is full of debris, when it’s cold with some ice and just gently flowing by. The river played a major role in how the communities in the area were developed and the Underground Railroad. The past two months have brought several groups of visitors to the area because of the Ohio River. In mid-June the Great Ohio River Paddle launched over 100 kayaks and canoes from White Oak Marina and paddled up White Oak Creek until you can longer navigate. The group paddled back to the Ohio River to continue their two day journey which would take them though the Meldahl Dam. A few days later Mimi Hughes, a women from Tennessee swam past Brown County in her quest to swim the whole Ohio River. She was accompanied by a filmographer making a documentary and two kayakers who monitored what was going on around here. She did complete her 981 mile journey in mid-July. The end of June 8 students and 3 teachers from the Bronx Lab School in New York arrived by Amtrak in Maysville to start their 7 day exploration of the Underground Railroad in Ohio by bicycle. The students trained the whole school year and had to earn the right physically and academically to be part of this group. This is the 3rd year for this program. The 30th of July two groups will arrive in Brown County. The first will be The Across Ohio Bicycle Adventure and

August is around the corner and we have only 2 months till the Little State Fair. I hope those who came to our N.T.P.A. tractor pull had as much fun as I did. We hate that we got rained out on Friday but Saturday was great. I worked the front gate both days and I’m the one who kept pointing to the right to go to the main parking area. I had more people waving at me and got more smiles than anytime in my life. Bob Neal and Kyle Cahall put on a great show. We want to thank Drew Lawwill and BioGene Seeds for being the main sponsor of the Tractor Pull and for the hat. Team Lamboda from Sweden was all they were advertised to be. We had teams from Iowa, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota and South Carolina racing here. Bob Neal showed me the works of the sled that they pull and have space for 12 ton of weights. We want to thank all the people who worked and all of you who came out to watch. We have 30 departments working together for the Brown Co. Fair. Each of us fill 3 or 4
DENNIS BROUGHTON departments and then working together produce the Little State Fair. A membership into the Brown Co. Agriculture Society gives you a vote on the Board of Directors who run every three years. We are going to have drawings each day of the fair to promote selling tickets. A Membership Fairboard director or spouse is not able to win but any other member can win. You must be 18 and a resident of Brown County to be a member. The fair books are here so stop into the office and get your membership tickets and the 159th Brown Co. Fair Book. The Ohio State Fair is almost here and we have a bunch of Junior Fair members who are taking projects to the State level. We wish them all the luck they need and know they’ll represent Brown County well.

It’s not too late to register for fall classes at Chatfield College!
What do you get when you cross a fricative, a short vowel sound and a plosive? The perfect expletive (you know, those short satisfying words you might utter when you stub your toe), according to Shakespeare expert Bill Kincaid who recently conducted a workshop at Southern State Community College’s North Campus in Wilmington. Kincaid is professor and head of the acting department at Western Illinois University and has toured extensively with Shakespeare productions and festivals. And why was Kincaid discussing expletives to Svetlana Kazakova-Kincaid’s English Composition III class? Because some aspects of language develop almost universally, and one writer in particular (that would be Shakespeare) had a keen sense for the craft of choosing just the right words to convey meaning and sensation. Kincaid discussed the myriad sounds and hidden meanings of spoken language. The works of William Shakespeare, he explained, were not written to be read; they were written to be performed. “A lot of people who do
Chatfield College is experiencing record enrollment numbers, but you can still register for the fall semester! Many classes are still open, and more classes have been added to the schedule for the fall semester, which begins the week of Aug. 23. So, if you’ve been considering college but think it’s too late to enroll for this fall, think again! Chatfield’s fall schedule offers a variety of courses in business, computers, education, English, history, psychology, art, public speaking, and many more. During the 15-week semester, each class meets just once a week for 2 ? hours, which makes it convenient for arranging classes around work schedules or family responsibilities. The average class size is just 1012 students, so students are able to easily engage in classroom discussion and receive personal attention from instructors. Chatfield is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission, which means that credits earned at Chatfield easily transfer to four-year colleges. Financial aid is available for eligible students, and there’s still time to apply. Eligibility is determined by completing the Free Application for Student Aid (FAFSA) form. Once the FAFSA is complete, a financial aid award can be determined.

Shakespeare, do it badly,” he said, adding that most people’s first experience learning about Shakespeare is not from someone who is passionate about it. Because the class had studied “Othello” the previous quarter, Kincaid dissected a passage by the character Iago: “Good name in man and
woman, dear my lord, is the immediate jewel of their souls. Who steals my purse steals trash; 'tis something, nothing; 'Twas mine, 'tis his, and has been slave to thousands: But he that filches from me my good name robs me of that which not enriches him and makes me poor indeed.” Kincaid directed the class’s attention to the heavy use of the M and N sounds in the beginning of the passage, sounds that are soothing and calming. The passage quickly moves to more S sounds, indicating the true nature of the character: sneaky, sly, snakelike. “We’re not worried about meaning here, just feeling,” Kincaid said. “During the Elizabethan times, language was not seen or written, it was heard and felt by the audience.” And so, the next time you stub your toe, consider the harmonic convergence of fricative, short vowel sound and plosive, and … keep your mouth shut.

WBFFA members attend WLC This summer, members from the Western Brown FFA chapter attended the Leadership Washington Conference along with hundreds of FFA members across the United States. They stayed at a hotel and had to room with other FFA members they didn’t know. As the week went on they learned many lessons and participated in many events such as community service. Their motto was “We must because
we can” and our members held true to that motto and they plan on doing their living to serve project as soon as the chapter is able. They visited many places while in D.C. including the Washington Monument, World War II Memorial, Lincoln Memorial, Korean War Memorial, Vietnam Memorial, and Arlington Cemetery. Members also visited the Capitol building, the Library of Congress, the White
SSEA and Southern State reach tentative contract agreement

Southern State Community College and the Southern State Education Association (SSEA) jointly announce that a tentative agreement has been reached regarding the faculty contract. The current contract was scheduled to expire August 2010. “This is my fourth experience negotiating and I am very pleased with the way things went,” said Tom Stroup, SSEA president and associate professor of engineering. SSCC President, Dr. Kevin Boys, concurred: “I am pleased with the dedication that both teams exemplified in attempting to reach a fair and equitable agreement. They were diligent in doing the work necessary to bargain in good faith and reach a solid deal.” Bargaining commenced in May 2010 and continued nearly each Friday until July 16. The contract addresses compensation and benefits as well as other items such as scheduling, faculty workload, and delivery of distance education
and a host of other items. Of particular importance during this negotiation process were contract revisions that address the college’s transition from a quarter calendar system to a semester system in fall 2012. “We were fortunate to have a strong combination of analytical minds on both teams that were able to sort through the myriad details to make sure the contract language properly addressed this enormous organizational change” said Stroup. Once approved, the new contract is effective August 2010-13. While both parties await ratification from the SSEA membership and the SSCC Board of Trustees, both bargaining units are pleased to have reached this point. Details of the contract will be released once both parties have ratified the agreement. A vote from the SSEA is expected later this summer and the SSCC Board of Trustees will be called for a special meeting to approve the contract following the SSEA’s ratification vote.

Adults who work with 4-H camp counselors have always suspected that the experience provided teenagers with the workforce skills that 21st century employers are looking for. Now they have strong evidence that supports the idea. In a 2009 pilot project, "Camp Counselor Work-based Learning," 11 counties received Ohio 4-H Foundation Sauder grants to participate in the program and include self- and supervisor assessments similar to work-based performance appraisals. In addition, counselors completed a series of questions about their camp experience, and 4-H professionals participated in a focus group to assess the program. In the pilot counties, 275 teens were trained as camp coun-
selors, and data were collected from 168, for a 61-percent response rate. "We've always done training for camp counselors," said Theresa Ferrari, youth development specialist for Ohio State University Extension's 4-H program. "But for the pilot project, we asked the adults conducting the training to talk specifically about how certain skills being taught were also workforce skills that employers value. Our thinking was that even though we might be able to see how beneficial the experience is for preparing teens for the workforce, if they (the teens) can't see it, then we're not actually doing it." In any given year, about 2,500 Ohio teens act as 4-H camp counselors, Ferrari said.

established by Southern State The new Ohio Appalachian Chapter of Medical Assistants (OACMA) recently has been established by the medical assisting department at Southern State Community College. The OACMA is a newly formed chapter of the Ohio State Society of Medical Assistants, a professional organization providing opportunities for continuing education. “Due to the geographic location of our counties, the area medical assistants have not had easy access to local meetings without driving several miles,” said Dr. Carry DeAtley, associate professor and director of Southern State’s medical assisting program. This new chapter is included in Ohio’s District I and formerly was included in the Cincinnati chapter. The OACMA chapter will provide local medical assistants the chance to participate in meetings to obtain CEUs, network and keep up to date with changing legislation and requirements
within the professional field. The chapter also will have delegate representation within the Ohio State Society of Medical Assistants. The OACMA’s bylaws and establishment was a joint effort of program faculty members Jamie Compton, Rhonda Davis and DeAtley. Each of the faculty members will be charter members and will hold an office. Any medical assistants working within the tri-county area of Adams, Brown and Highland counties are invited to join. The next meeting will be held 7 p.m. Thursday, July 29, in Room 116 of SSCC’s South Campus, 12681 U.S. Route 62, Fincastle. One CEU will be offered in general on the topic “Ethics in Medical Marketing.” For more information about OACMA or to learn more about Southern State’s medical assisting program, please contact DeAtley at 1-800-628-7722, ext. 2639, or cdeatley@sscc.edu.
About 40 percent of them are new to the program each year and undergo 24 hours of training before becoming camp counselors. For the pilot study, both the teens and the adults who worked with them were asked to measure the teens' skills before and after their camp counseling experience in five categories: workforce-skill Skills, Thinking Communication Skills, Teamwork and Leadership, Initiative, and Professionalism. Both sets of ratings increased significantly from "before" to "after" the counseling experience, Ferrari said. In addition, at least half the teens participating in the study were rated (in both self-assessment and by the adult working with them) as "consistently excelling," the highest possible rating, in 12 of the 24 workforce skills being measured, including: Skills showing professionalism, including respecting others, having a positive attitude dressing appropriately, working with others of diverse backgrounds, having good work habits and meeting deadlines. Skills showing teamwork and leadership, including working with others to achieve goals, resolving disagreements, and supporting and encouraging others. Skills showing initiative and communication, including being a good listener, being motivated to complete tasks and taking initiative. Teens also were asked specifically if they made the connection between their camp counseling experience and the world of work: -85 percent said they thought about "how skills learned as a camp counselor will help me in the future." -76 percent said they thought of "a specific way that I can use my camp counseling skills right away." -76 percent also said they "learned about skills employers value in the 21st century." -71 percent said they "developed a better understanding of the world of work." -70 percent said they "looked at my role as a camp counselor as a job or work experience." This year, the project is expanding to 16 counties. Ferrari and her colleagues plan to use what they learn from 2009 and 2010 to develop a modified camp counselor training curriculum for use statewide in the future. A report with details from the 2009 pilot project is online at http://youthsuccess.osu.edu.

The RULH Local School District has ended the 2009-10 Fiscal Year on a positive financial note, although news in late June regarding Duke Energy certainly will impact the district's 2010-11 Budget. The current fiscal year concluded this past Wednesday, June 30, and the new fiscal year began this past Thursday, July 1. In a June 24 telephone interview, District Treasurer Vivian Armour reported the district possibly was going to conclude the 2009-10 Fiscal Year with about $1 million left in its General Fund, which provides most of its operating money. That is significantly higher than the estimated $750,000 remaining in the General Fund at the conclusion of the 2008-09 Fiscal Year. Principal Vacancies Noted Armour said the district saved some money this past fiscal year by the fact two of its three school buildings didn't have full-time principals for a combined total of five months, and other salaried personnel filled in those positions as needed. RULH Elementary School was left without a principal at its helm after Principal Jane Massie, who died earlier this year, retired. RULH High School was left without a principal after the RULH Local School District Board of Education voted on Jan. 28 to suspend Todd Music from that position without pay and benefits due to alleged “gross insubordination, incompetency and other just cause”. While an open hearing regarding Music's suspension began June 23, school board members voted at their regular meeting June 22 to award Susan Skinner a one-year contract to become RULH High School's new principal for the 2010-11 School Year. Skinner, a sixth-grade science teacher at RULH Middle School, is also RULH High School's athletic director and
a member of the RULH District's Leadership Team. School board members voted at their regular meeting on May 19 to award District Coordinator Technology Susan Owens a two-year contract to become RULH Elementary School's new principal. Treasurer Reports To Board Armour informed school board members at their regular meeting in June how 200910 had been a good fiscal year for the district. She mentioned the district's revenues were higher than expected and its expenditures were lower than expected. Armour said both state and federal contributions to the district went up as well as some real estate taxes, in part due to some Current Agricultural Use Value higher assessments, and also mentioned the contribution the U.S. Marine Corps had made toward RULH High School's Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps Program. While reporting that good news, she also mentioned she had learned the district could lose about $64,000 during this new fiscal year because of Duke Energy's request with the Ohio Department of Taxation to reduce its personal property tax payments, which help fund public school
districts in Southwestern Ohio. School districts received a late notice just before the start of their new fiscal years how their tax money from Duke would be reduced. Duke is requesting its tax obligation be reduced by 40 percent. While Duke's appeal is being heard, Ohio law allows Duke to pay a lower tax amount based on the lower valuation amount it is seeking. Armour told school board members on June 22 the district could begin feeling the impact of the reduced Duke tax contributions as early as July and added the reduced contributions would “nullify” increased state funds anticipated for the district, essentially making the new school year's budget about the same as last year. Another change Armour mentioned in the new budget compared to last fiscal year's is the fact the district had “a huge influx” of federal Stimulus dollars during the 2009-10 School Year from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act that Congress approved in 2009. The treasurer said the RULH District won't receive Stimulus funds this coming fiscal year unless Congress reauthorizes Stimulus expenditures.
