THE BROWN COUNTY

Southwest to have new owner BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press Southwest Regional Medical Center will have a new owner next month. Doctor Krishna P. Surapaneni, (MD, FACOG) is expected to take over the hospital from current owner Joan Phillips at the end of September. Phillips will stay on as Chief Executive Officer. Surapaneni is based in Las Vegas, NV, but has been involved with SWRMC since the end of last year, playing a quiet yet crucial role providing cash for payroll and operating expenses.” said Phillips.

Phillips said both parties felt the time was right to discuss a formal transfer of ownership. Surapaneni said he got involved because he saw potential in the hospital and the need for continual healthcare for the residents of this area. Doctor Surapaneni is involved in several Healthcare related businesses both in the US and abroad. “We want to make the hospital a showplace with new and innovative Health Information Systems for this community, while keeping a much needed medical facility open and available to local resi-

dents.” He added that he is aware of the difficulties facing the hospital over the past few years, including those of public perception. “People have heard a lot of promises about the hospital in the past few years.”, Surapaneni said. “It takes some proof to gain community confidence. I plan on showing my commitment by taking action to build a patientcentered full service hospital.” Surapaneni said his “first priority is to provide the best possible patient care by aligning the hospital with top physicians from

Sharp faces theft charge BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press First degree misdemeanor Theft charges have been filed against former Brown County Auditor employee Geoffrey “Geo” Sharp. The charges were filed August 1 in Brown County Municipal Court by an in-

vestigator from the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Identification. The Probable Cause Affidavit filed against Sharp reads “On 1/25/13, Geoffrey D. Sharp, while employed and receiving an hourly wage by the Brown County Auditor’s Office, was observed at 688 Riddle Ave, Cincinnati, Ohio, in

the presence of a female prostitute. This activity was not a function of his employment at the Brown County Auditor’s Office for which he was receiving compensation.” The theft charge is based on the wages paid to Sharp while he was outside of the

the surrounding areas. In conjunction with this physician recruitment, the Doctor also plans to upgrade and renovate the Emergency Room exterior of the hospital.” Following that project, upgrades to patient rooms and operating suites will follow. “We have already made some decisions on some equipment to purchase for the operating rooms”, Surapaneni said. A new pain management team is also set to begin seeing patients soon. He added that the success of the project depends, CONTINUED ON PAGE 14

Brown County Relay for Life, August 10-11 at fairgrounds

CASSITY LAW OFFICES MICHAEL E. CASSITY, Esq. & ROBIN J. LEVINE, Esq. 107 E. Main Street, Mt. Orab, OH 45154

Relay for Life is alive and well in Brown County and will be in full swing this weekend August 10 and 11 at the Brown County fairgrounds. Ten special teams from the county will be participating in this year’s event with hopes of raising money for the American Cancer Society (ACS) for research, education, advocacy and patient service programs. Relay for Life is an overnight event where teams of eight or more members walk all day on Saturday and all night long well into Sunday morning. Each team member raises a minimum of $100 to support the ACS. Each team decorates their campsites where they offer food and other items to participants, all for any donation to the cause. One of the teams in this years relay is the Jaymie Jamison Foundation for Hope. Jaymie Jamison was a 34 year old mother of four who died on February 6, 2011 of cervical cancer. The foundation was organized by her many friends and family after her death to help other women facing gynecological cancers. “Jaymie was an inspiration to us all,” said Evonne Daugherty, Jaymie’s mother-in-law. “She wanted to do something to help others and that’s what the foundation does. “This year’s Relay for Life in Brown County should be a lot of fun for everyone and hopefully raise awareness and donations to the American Cancer Society.” Daugherty said that the opening ceremony of this years relay will begin with an invitational given by Doug Representative Green. The ten teams will begin walking around the grandstand at the fairgrounds beginning at 2 p.m. and continue walking one by one through the night to the light of luminaries around

the track. Each luminary can be purchased for a $10 donation and will have the name of someone who has beat cancer or who died of cancer. Each team will have tables set up offering baked goods, walking tacos and lots of other food, all for a donation. “There will be a very special dinner provided for all cancer survivors, on Saturday night around 5 p.m.,” Daugherty added. “On Sunday morning we will have a great breakfast available, also for a small donation or any donation. Pastor Pat Caraway of the Sardinia Nazarene Church will offer the prayer. “As these team members walk around the track,” she continued, “many of the pray and talk about their experience with cancer or how they beat cancer. It is an uplifting experience for everyone involved.” Daugherty said that Jaymie’s daughter Hope will be singing the National Anthem and at least four local bands will be performing throughout the event. Merchandise will be raffled off during the event along with local crafters selling for donations.

Taking A Trip Through Time The Sardinia Milling Company, pictured above on this postcard, was built in 1892 by George A. Kennedy. J. S. Galliet was his partner. In 1912, Mr. Kennedy filed bankruptcy. On April 10, 1912, F. L. C. Weisbrodt bought the mill at the real estate sale, and took his brother Ed Weisbrodt, as his partner. They were manufacturers of and dealers in high grade flour, corn meal, cracked corn, chop feed, dairy feed, cotton seed, and oil meal, takage, baled hay, coal, salt, lime, and cement. On September 15, 1928, Mr. Weisbrodt sold the mill to Ed Druhot, and Chris Hanselman. The mill was destroyed by fire in November, 1928. In later years, the Equity Union Creamery was built on this location. Thanks to Mary K. Bachman, daughter of F. L. C. Weisbrodt for sharing this postcard. ‘Taking a Trip Through Time’ is a feature of the Brown County Press that is supplied by our readers.

Letters to the Editor

Parent questions football policy Dear Editor, Is football more important than family? Well it seems the Western Brown High School football coach Even Dreyer thinks so. Hello my name is Ed Kirker, and I am proud parent of two children, that attend Western Brown High School. I am also member of the United States Air Force Reserves. As a

member of the Armed Forces, sometimes it requires me to be away from my family for several months at a time. Knowing this I make family time and functions a very high priority for me and my family. Having said that I am due to deploy once again for at least 7 months. With this being my 12th tour since 1991, and may seem old

Please put a leash on your dog! Dear Editor, My husband has recently taken up the sport of cycling. He and our son enjoy riding at the elementary school without having to worry about traffic. Recently, my husband decided to take a ride by himself. He was enjoying his ride down the driveway of the school when he saw a man with two unleashed dogs in the distance. One of the dogs started running toward him and stopped. Then the second dog started chasing him on his bike then ran right in front of him and stopped which made my husband flip his bike and come down hard on his right elbow. The owner of the dogs helped my husband home and said he needed to go make sure his dogs got put up and would come back and check on him but didn't. I took him to urgent care.

He was examined and after getting a x-ray found out he broke his elbow. We went to the orthopedic surgeon and was told he would need to have surgery that involves having a plate and screws put in his elbow and the possibility of having arthritis for the rest of his life. He had surgery the next day and now a little after two weeks is starting physical therapy. It is very disheartening that my husband is suffering from someone elses carelessness. There is a leash law and if this person would have obeyed that law this accident never would have happened. And to this individual you know you should take responsibility for your actions and we hope that you do. And for all dogs owners in town or in the country please obey the leash law.

hat, it is far from being normal, and does not get any easier having had to do this so many times. I am a divorced father, and only get my kids every other weekend. Both of my children are heavily involved in sports at Western Brown, and enjoy supporting their school as much as possible. I support their decision to play sports, as it instills discipline, team comradery, esprit de corps, and pride with in themselves and for their school. Now here is the problem I have. On August 5th I was making arrangements with my kids as to what time and where I will be picking them up for my weekend visitation. I was informed that they were required to be a football practice on Saturday August 10th. I was planning on not only just spending quality time with my children before I have to leave, but also taking them to see their Grandmother who lives far away from here. With me only being able to get them 2 more times(counting this weekend), it is extremely important that I spend as much time with them and bond as much as possible. I called Coach Dreyer, explained the situation to him, and that I would only be able to see them 2 more times, and that they would not see their grandmother for close to a year if we could not go this weekend. Coach Dreyer apologized deeply, and said that it was just too important that they be there for practice. I truly do respect Coach Dreyer’s passion, dedication, and enthusiasm for the sports; however this is where I feel he has his priorities pointed in the wrong direction. I believe that it is wrong and irresponsible for a coach to put his players that are still children in the position that they have to choose to play, or see their family. These are not professional athletes we are talking about. These are teenagers in a very impressionable period of their lives. What kind of example are we setting, when we enforce that sports are more important than family. Especially, when forcing a child to make a decision to go to a PRACTICE, and get to play for the season; or miss it, see his family that he at best will not see for at least 7 months and some up to a

year, if that family member even returns from fighting in the war, and not get to play for the season, because they missed a practice? I have never asked any of the coaches to excuse either child from a sporting event or practice, as we usually cancel our plans or do not make them, as there is some practice or event scheduled for almost every single weekend of the entire year. I do know in fact, after my conversation with Coach Dreyer that if they miss this weekend, that they will not play. Again priorities are pointing in the wrong direction. So I ask again, “Is football more important than family”? For us that have any since of family values, I don’t think so… Please feel free to contact me to discuss further. Ed Kirker

WAYNE GATES, EDITOR have shut the doors last Christmas without his intervention. Phillips is continuing to stick it out...working long hours, making difficult choices and struggling to keep the largest private employer in the county going. She didn’t have to buy the place when Paul Tuft wanted to sell it, but she did. And the paychecks kept flowing. I have said to many people over the years that I believe the biggest problem the hospital has is public perception. Something is causing people to drive west half an hour or more instead of just up the road. Here’s a thought. Tell them what it is and let them try to fix it. If you are acting on something that happened years ago, or letting someone elses opinion influence you, stop in and have a look around. Ask some questions. Find out the facts for yourself instead of believing rumors. If you are one of the people Dr. Surapaneni was talking about when he said “people have heard promises and they need to see some proof”, then wait and see if you see that proof. If it comes, keep your part of the bargain and give them a chance to earn your business and your trust. I think Surapaneni deserves thanks and appreciation for making the commitment to keep the hospital going. I think Phillips deserves a medal and a parade for the blood, sweat and tears she’s contributed to the cause. Finally, neither of them will say it this bluntly, but I will. Give these people and the employees of the hospital a chance to succeed. Use the hospital or lose it.

Doctor Krishna P. Surapaneni will become the new owner of Southwest Regional Medical Center next month. I would like to welcome him. The doctor has already spent a considerable amount of money since last Christmas, helping to keep the hospital open as it continues to struggle financially. I had the chance to talk to Dr. Surapaneni while preparing to write the article on the front page. I found him to be genuinely concerned about keeping the hospital open and in making some improvements, both to the building and the patient care that goes on inside it. Joan Phillips is staying as CEO, and will be working with Dr. Surapaneni to accomplish these goals. Phillips has worked very hard over the past couple of years at the very difficult task of keeping the doors of the hospital open. Yes, services have been cut, people have been laid off and vendors have filed lawsuits...but the doors are still open. The emergency room is still there if you have a heart attack in the middle of the night. You can still see the doctor in your home county instead of driving half an hour or more. Your family member or neighbor still has a job. For now. All of this continuing does not depend on Surapaneni, Phillips or anyone else. It depends on you. The hospital cannot stay open without public support. Think of the hospital as sitting on a three legged stool. One leg is financial support, one leg is the staff and one leg is public support. Remove one leg and it falls. Doctor Surapaneni has already committed to upgrading the emergency room, patient rooms and operating rooms. He’s asking former staff members to come back once the workload will support them. The hospital would

Pipeline company answers questions An open house for landowners potentially affected by the Bluegrass Pipeline was held in Georgetown on August 5. The event featured experts to answer questions about the construction process, the environmental impact, right of way easements and any other questions people might have. “We want to provide the public with facts about this project so they can make informed decisions about what we’re all about”, said Tom Droege, Media Spokesperson for the Williams company. Williams is the primary contractor for the project. Droege said that the company would begin aquiring easements later this month as part of the construction process. The proposed 1100 mile Bluegrass Pipeline will run from eastern Ohio down to Kentucky. The proposed date for the pipeline to become operational is late 2015. The pipeline will contain Natural Gas and its byproducts. The proposed Bluegrass Pipeline will run from eastern Ohio down to Kentucky. The proposed date for the pipeline to become operational is late 2015. The 1100 mile project is being spearheaded by the Williams company out of Tulsa, Oklahoma and Boardwalk Pipeline Partners, a company with an extensive pipeline network in Texas and Louisiana. The pipeline will be buried three feet underground, allowing property owners to continue to be able to use their land. “Landowners whose properties may be affected by the proposed route will be contacted by a land representative.

Meth Lab found at A’deen motel On August 2, 2013 at approximately 18:54, Chief Caudill received an anonymous call in reference to a female, Amanda Hacker, having outstanding warrants and lodged at McCanns Motel. More information was received that she was staying with a male, Matthew Gauntz. Chief Caudill and Officer Disney spoke to the owner of the motel and he advised that the suspect was lodged there. Chief Caudill came into contact with the suspects, with the cooperation of the owner, and discovered several items to manufacture methamphetamine. At that time Chief Caudill contacted the Brown County Sheriff’s Office who took over the crime scene due to their resources for clean-up. The Aberdeen Police Department would like to thank the Brown County Sheriffs Office for their assistance in this case.

ask permission to conduct surveys on their property, that’s the stage we’re in right now.”, said Tom Droege, Media Spokesperson for the Williams company. The company plans to ask landowners for a fifty foot easement on their property to build the pipeline. Landowners who agree will be compensated one time. “Bluegrass pipeline is committed to offering a fair price for any required easement. Offers for easements will be based on a fair value based upon fair market prices and the number of acres needed for the privilege of establishing a permanent easement. The owner will retain ownership and permanent use of the land.”, Droege said.

Droege said that the vast majority of landowners his company deals with accept the compensation offered. However some do not. “If we are not able to reach an agreement with a particular landowner, we will look at rerouting the pipeline.”, Droege said. Droege added that the project was anticipated to get off the ground so quickly because over half of it is already complete. “The beauty of the Bluegrass Pipeline is that over half of it is already in the ground. We are converting an existing natural gas pipeline that is already in the ground from Hardinsburg, KY on south.”, he said. “By taking that approach, we’ll be able to put the pipeline in service sooner

and reduce our environmental impact footprint.” Droege said that the products carried by the pipeline are becoming more valuable to the economy. “Demand for Natural Gas Liquids is growing.

These are the building blocks for many things we use every day.”, he said. “Examples of NGL based products are car bumpers, adhesives, instrument lenses and even toys.” Droege said that the Williams company has created the website bluegrasspipeline.com that would allow local residents to keep track of the progress of the pipeline and get answers to any questions they may have.

Repent In Luke 13:3 Jesus said: “I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.” Now you can be assured that whatever Jesus says is the absolute truth. There is only one way to go to heaven. In John 14:6 He said: “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” You must repent and you must receive Christ as your Saviour. To repent means to turn completely around; to turn your life away from sin and toward Jesus. Stop going away from God, turn back to Him. He said: “...ye shall all likewise perish.” He is talking about the whole world; He is talking about young and old people. He said “all”. You must repent! In John 3:3 Jesus said: Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” You must be born again. However, you will not be born again until you are willing to repent of your sins. When you turn your life back towards God and ask Jesus to save you, that is when you receive Him as your Saviour and you are born again. Romans 10:13 states: “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” But the repentance is necesary. Now I do not know that repentance necessarily includes: tears, crying, shaking or whatever else some do. I know that the Shakers felt that you had to shake inr order for them to recognize repentance. The Quakers felt that you had to literally quake in your pew before you were eligible to go forward to be saved. So the Shakers and the Quakers both thought repentance had to be visible. I personally have seen people who have cried and some who have laughed with joy. Some people show no emotion at all. But I believe that they truly got saved. We Baptist believe that true repentance is in the heart. Romans 10:9-10 states: “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” It is with the heart that man believes unto righteousness. You need to turn from sin and realize what you have done and how you violat-

ed God’s holy laws and His holy will. If you do not realize how wicked sin is then you have never repented. You have to be willing to quit doing wrong! You need to ask God to help you quit sinning. We do not believe that you can truly get saved and keep right on practicing sin. II Corinthians 5:17 tells us: “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” If you are really saved your life ought to show it! You cannot go ahead and be the same and think that you are okay because you went through some motions! You must have a conversion. Jesus clearly said in Luke: “... Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things? I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.” It is necessary for every man, woman, and child to repent in order to be saved. I am talking about coming to the place where you say: Okay, I am ready to turn to God: to ask Jesus Christ to save me and I am ready to in the right direction. When you get saved you ought to go forward not backward! You need to be in church serving the Lord. We have something to gain and that is heaven! We also have rewards to gain! If you think that you have something worthwhile in this world, you will have something more worthwhile in heaven if you serve God! Proverbs 11:30 states: “...he that winneth souls is wise.” And in Daniel 12:3 it says: “And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.” But you have to put the horse before the cart. First repentance and then salvation; you cannot have one without the other.

How Stem Cells Work Part Two Human stem cells can be obtained from two main sources: embryos and adults (in this case adult doesn’t necessarily mean a full grown human; it can also be a child or a baby). Embryonic stem cells can also be obtained from amniotic fluid and umbilical cord blood. The problem with adult stem cells is that for the most part they are limited in what they can develop into, so the Holy Grail for most researchers is embryonic stem cells. Because an embryo develops into a complete human being, these cells have the potential to grow into any cell type in the human body. Unfortunately, in order to obtain the embryonic stem cell the embryo is destroyed. This is a source of controversy. At present, in-vitro fertilization usually produces more embryos than can be implanted, so some of the embryos are wasted. Instead of wasting these embryos, many people would like to see them used for research. Those opposed to the harvesting of stem cells from embryos are usually from the religious right who view life as beginning at the moment of fertilization. Although it’s hard to argue against using embryos that are going to be destroyed anyway for research, it’s also not hard to imagine a day when embryos are being produced simply to be harvested. Once effective treatments for current diseases are found, it will be hard to tell those suffering from that disease that they can’t be cured because there aren’t enough excess embryos. It is a slippery slope from research, to breakthrough, to millions wanting the treatment. Another problem with using embryonic stem cells is their propensity to become cancerous. They can form what is called a teratoma. A teratoma is a specialized type of cancer where the embryonic stem cells try to start to form into a fetus. Teratomas have been reported to have been found with hair, teeth, bones, and sometimes specialized organs like eyes. The other avenue of research is using adult stem cells. As I mentioned in the last article, adults have stem cells in their bone marrow to replace blood cells; however, that is not the only place where adults have stem cells. Most tissue has some stem cells whose function is to replicate and form new cells to replace older cells. These are called differentiated stem cells meaning that they can only produce a certain type

HEALTH MATTERS TOM CALLAHAN, RPH of cell. Current research is ongoing to “reprogram” these differentiated stem cells in order to get them to once again be able to make other types of cells. While science fiction writers and idealistic researchers imagine a day when we can regrow an arm, a leg or even grow a new eye for accident victims, nothing can come close to the phenomenon of two cells joining together and replicating until they have formed a whole new human being.

It took 17 years to complete, but the Brown County portion of the John Hunt Morgan Heritage Trail officially dedicated a battlefield marker in Georgetown on August 3. Georgetown historian and chairman of the Brown County portion of the Ohio Trail Commission, Ned Lodwick officiated over the dedication in front of the courthouse. State Representative Doug Green opened the ceremony by leading the crowd of visitors in the singing of the National Anthem, followed by a prayer by Chaplain Robert Boyd. Lodwick thanked everyone who was in attendance of the ceremony. Many of the guests had taken part in a tour earlier in the day when seven sites in the county were visited, each site depicting a part of Morgan’s raid in 1863.

“From July 13 to the 26th of July in 1863,” Lodwick began, “Brigadier General John Hunt Morgan led a daring group of more than 2,000 men across southern Ohio. His mission was to distract and divert as many Union troops as possible from the action in middle Tennessee and east Tennessee.” Lodwick then introduced members of the ‘Civil War Revue Band’ who entertained the crowd for the next hour playing ballads from the civil war era. A few of the bands songs included: • ‘Southern Gray/Northern Blue’; • ‘White Haired Man’; • ‘We are Coming Father Abraham’; • ‘Watching Atlanta Burn’ • ‘The Grant Reel’; • ‘March on Ulysses’; • ‘Ashokan Farewell’; • ‘Lost Soldiers’. Following the bands performance, Representa-

tive Green presented Lodwick with a special plaque of recommendation of recognition from the Ohio House of Representatives and the Ohio Senate. In part the plaque read... ....on behalf of the members of the 130th General Assembly of Ohio we are pleased to extend special recognition to Brown County on the observance of the 150th Anniversary of Morgan’s Raid with dedication of the John Hunt Morgan Heritage Trail on August 3, 2013. ....Brown County deserved high praise for it’s contribution for preservation of this piece of Ohio history.... Also participation in the ceremony were members of the 14th Kentucky Cavalry, the 70th Ohio Infantry, Union and the Carey Bavis Post 180 of the American Legion. Will Michael Craft of the Ohio Historical Society and Edd Sharp of the Ohio Trail Commission

Soybean Rust, Blue Mold and Pesticide Tests Blue Mold in Tennessee Blue Mold was confirmed in Eastern Tennessee recently. For tobacco that has been topped and sprayed with MH for sucker control will have little to no risk should blue mold move into Kentucky or Southern Ohio. For later tobacco the situation should be monitored closely. Products like Quadris can be used to prevent Target Spot and Frogeye at layby can provide preventative protection for blue mold, too. Quadris should not be used in consecutive treatments, so another product may need to be used in between a first and second treatment of Quadris. NEVER use Quadris as a tank mix with MH products for sucker control. Severe damage may occur. Avoid the heat of the day making applications, too. As far as tank mixing, always read the label completely. If the label does not permit a particular mix, you may want to avoid the temptation. Soybean Rust in Northern Alabama The first soybean rust moved into the United States on a hurricane a few years ago now. Rust has been found in the southern states nearly every year since. It has only been to Kentucky once, and not been found in Ohio yet. The threat this year may be as good as we have had. Early beans, those that have already flowered and now with pods are not at risk. Later soybeans could be a different story. For that reason we will be pulling samples in later fields We will concentrate in fields that are closer to the Ohio River, as the rust would most likely move into Ohio from Kentucky should it ever get here. I

DAVID DUGAN OSU EXTENSION SERVING ADAMS, BROWN AND HIGHLAND CO. will keep you informed as we monitor the situation. Tobacco Field Night I would like to remind tobacco producers that we will have a twilight tobacco field night on August 20 starting at 5 p.m. in the West Union area. The tour will include Dr. Kenny Seebold, UK Tobacco Specialist and some local farms. We will look at a new variety, some fungicide and insecticide performance on this year’s crop. Please call the local OSU Extension Office so we know how many to plan for. We will have a meal at the conclusion sponsored by one of the chemical companies that produces one of the products that we will be looking at that night. The Adams County Office number is (937) 544-2339; Brown County (937) 3786716; and Highland County (937) 393-1918. Please call prior to the end of the day on August 16. Details about the location that we will meet will be given when you call in to register. Soybean Field Night Mark your calendar for September 12 for the Soybean Field Night. We will look at some different on farm work that has been done this year. Dr. Anne Dorrance, OSU Soybean Specialist will be part of the program. Please call one of the OSU Extension Offices at the numbers listed above by September 10. The program will be located in the Northern parts of Brown and Highland Counties. Pesticide Testing Date

As the summer moves along it will not be too long until schools open back up. Some school employees may be among a group of people who apply pesticides. It is my understanding that anyone applying pesticides on public property including around city and county buildings, parks, schools and so forth need a commercial pesticide license to apply ANY pesticide. This includes things that can be bought without a license like common weed killer or bug sprays. For more information about the requirements you can read online at http://pested.osu.edu or call the Ohio Department of Agriculture at (800) 2821955. Registration and study materials can be found at the web site, by phone or some are available at the local OSU Extension Office. The test will be offered on August 12 beginning at noon at the Old Y Restaurant located on US 62 about halfway between SR 32 and Hillsboro in Southern Highland County. Remember you must register, but the test is free. If successful with the exam, there is a charge for the license. The test is also available for private applicators that make applications on their own property with restricted pesticides or any custom applicator that needs a commercial license. Ohio Valley Antique Machinery Show The 43rd Reunion of the Ohio Valley Antique Machinery Show will take place August 8-11 at the OVAM Showground on the west side of Georgetown in Brown Co. The showground is located about 1 mile west of Georgetown on SR 125. There is a daily parade of

all equipment, a Garden Tractor Pull on Friday and an Antique Tractor Pull on Saturday, with an Antique Car Show on Sunday. There will be Horseshow and Corn hole Tournaments, Bingo and lots more. There will also be live music all 4 days, plus lots of good food and many things from the past. Admission is $5 daily or a membership is $10. Senior Citizen Day is $3 on Thursday. They also have camping available. For more information check it out on the web at www.ovams.com or call (937) 378-4480. Farm Science Review Tickets The Farm Science Review will be on September 17-19 this year. We have tickets at the OSU Extension Offices in Adams, Brown and Highland Counties. The cost has increased this year, and I believe this is the first time in my tenure with OSU Extension. The new ticket price is now $10 at the gate, but if you buy your tickets in advance at the OSU Extension Office they are only $7.00. Dates to Remember Pesticide License Testing - Private and commercial testing for applicator license will be offered on August 12 at the Old Y Restaurant. You are required to pre-register by calling the Ohio Department of Agriculture at (800) 282-1955 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. Tobacco Farm Tour This tour will start in West Union at the Adams County Extension Office. We will tour a few tobacco patches looking at examples of insecticide and fungicide use among other things. Dr. Kenny Seebold, UK To-

Time is running out for 7th graders to get mandatory immunizations Brown County Health Department wants to remind seventh grade parents that all 7th grade students are required to get a tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis (Tdap) immunization. Tdap vaccines protect against pertussis (also known as whooping cough), a severe respiratory illness that causes violent, rapid coughing that can last for extended periods of time. Cases of pertussis, which mostly occur in school settings, nearly doubled in Ohio in recent

years. The Brown County Health Department will be offering the Tdap as well as other immunizations, every Tuesday from 8 a.m. - noon and 1 - 4 p.m. and other days by appointment. If you have questions, place call the nurses at (937) 378-6892 or toll free at (866) 867-6892. The Brown County Health Department also encourages you to take your 7th grade students for a check-up with their healthcare provider to get immunizations as well.

Ripley Federal Savings Bank, Georgetown branch names Staggs as new loan officer

CMYK

Pain Treatment Center opening at SWRMC

BY Martha B. Jacob The Brown County Press Ripley Federal Savings Bank branch manager at its Georgetown office, Beth Staggs, has been at that location for about two years. She’s been with Ripley Federal a total of 14 years. But now, as of Friday, August 2, she will also fill the role of loan officer at the Georgetown office. Ripley Federal was incorporated in 1895, originally started in 1889 known at The Ripley Building and Loan Association. The facility in Georgetown at 200 East State Street was built in 1974 and has five employees. Staggs said she is excited to add loan officer to her titles. “It’s been almost five years since there has been a loan officer here at the Georgetown branch,” Staggs explained. “Our customers would have to go to Ripley for any kind of loan, or an officer from Ripley would have to come up here to meet with them.” Staggs explained that Ripley Federal Savings Bank offers commercial loans, mortgages, consumer loans for cars, boats, campers, motorcycles, etc. “We also have Passbook loans here,” Staggs said, “That’s where a person can borrow against their certificate of deposit. That way your money is still earning interest and they just pay themselves back. We just want to get the word out that people can come in here at the Georgetown branch again to get what they need.” Staggs stated that the

CEO of Ripley Federal Savings Bank, Andy Miller is shown with Staggs during a recent celebration of her appointment. The Georgetown branch now offers all services of the bank.

bank’s new CEO Andy Miller wants both offices to be able to offer everything the other office does. She said he wants all services to be available at both locations. “I honestly feel great about Beth taking over the duties of loan officer here in Georgetown,” Miller said. “She’s been with us for a long time and she has impressed me these last few months. This is a challenge for her but we are confident that she’ll do just fine. The Georgetown location is very important to us and we want it to be able to offer all our services.” Miller commented that because rates are so low right now, but added those low rates are predicted by some economists to be coming to an end.

“Next year, or certainly the year after,” Miller said, “that’s the way it looks now, things will change. “I’m not saying that it’s critical right now to run right down to the bank today or tomorrow, this is still an excellent time to refinance. Rates are as low as they’ve been in 30 or 40 years so this is a good time to refinance.” Miller added that now is also a good time for people wanting to upgrade their homes they’re living in or remodel this is a good time to apply for an improvement loan. Staggs and Miller said they would like to invite the community to stop by either of the Ripley Federal Savings Bank locations with any questions about services.

Service project announced by the Brown County Chamber of Commerce’s Women’s Committee The Brown County Chamber of Commerce’s Women’s Committee announced its first service project. The committee will be assisting the United Way of Greater Cincinnati - Eastern Area with “Backpacks for Success” a school supply drive for kindergarten students in Brown County. “We have set a goal of 25 backpacks for the committee. Donations of crayons, glue sticks, pencils, dry erase markers, blunt scissors and other school items are needed,” said Summer Tyler, CEO of Environmental Partners, HVAC, and chair of the committee. “Businesses and individuals are being asked to provide a backpack filled with school supplies. We’d like to challenge businesses to buy and fill a backpack for every backpack their employees donate.” 18.2 percent of children ages 0-17 in Brown County live in poverty. Teachers spent on average $356 of their own money on supplies. (Statistics provided by United Way.) United Way spokesperson Debra Gordon, Eastern Area Center Director said, “We have kids using plastic bags as backpacks. Often times these children are teased by their peers, causing them to disconnect from the learning experience. We believe EVERY CHILD deserves to enter kindergarten with the tools they need to succeed in school.” Anyone with school items to donate can bring them to the Women’s Committee next informal networking lunch meeting on Thursday, August 22 at the Mt. Orab LaRosa’s from 11:45 a.m. - 1 p.m. Women should bring business cards and promotional materials. Attendees can order off the LaRosa’s menu. Donations can also be dropped off at: The Brown County Ohio Chamber of

THE BROWN COUNTY PRESS

Earlier this year, a senior Democrat in the U.S. Senate said he was concerned Obamacare was headed for “a huge train wreck.” Every day it seems that we are getting a better idea of just what that train wreck looks like—fewer full-time jobs, more difficulties for small businesses, higher insurance premiums, and fewer healthcare choices. Just yesterday, the Ohio Insurance Department anthat health nounced insurance premiums in the individual market are expected to increase an average of 41 percent in our state next year. That’s money that could be going toward Ohioans’ retirement, groceries, and their children’s higher education; instead it’s going to cover President Obama’s costly mandates. And higher costs are only the beginning of Obamacare’s impact. Recently, the Obama administration surprised everyone by announcing that it was delaying by a year a core pillar of Obamacare—a provision requiring employers with more than 50 “full-time” employees to offer “affordable health insurance” or face a fine. That requirement has had a number of negative—and entirely predictable—unintended consequences. First, more and more small businesses are becoming “49ers” and “29ers.” Some employers

SENATOR ROB PORTMAN have felt they have no choice but to freeze growth and hiring at 49 employees rather than coming under the onerous requirements of Obamacare when they cross the 50 employee threshold. Other employers have reduced the hours their employees can work from 40 to the less than 30 hours a week required by Obamacare to keep them from counting as full-time for the purposes of the legislation. It’s no surprise that the “underemployment” working figure—those part-time but wanting to work full time—has been on the rise, spiking by a dramatic 300,000 in June’s jobs report. President Obama decided to postpone the employer mandate that causes these and other problems until the beginning of 2015. Some have said this was just an effort to avoid the political fall-out until after the 2014 midterm election. The decision may make good political sense for the President and his party, but for the millions of Americans who are either without a job or underemployed, it merely prolongs the economic pain. Employers know the mandate is coming, and it

will continue to encourage them to downsize and reduce hours. More Americans will either lose their jobs or find it harder to get one, and, as happened last month, more of the jobs that will be available are likely to be part-time jobs that make it harder if not impossible to make ends meet. To make matters worse, the parts of Obamacare that were supposed to alleviate some of these problems are failing. Earlier this summer, Health and Human Services announced that key components of the Small Business Health Options Program—or SHOP Exchange—will also be delayed until 2015. These provisions were supposed to allow employers to provide workers with a set amount of money to purchase insurance in an online marketplace. HHS pointed to “operational challenges” in their decision to delay the program. They have given no indication of how they intend to meet these challenges and get the SHOP exchange up and running. The individual insurance exchanges represent yet another coming challenge. These exchanges are supposed to come online in October. But not unlike the SHOP Exchange, there is no indication that the technology is in place to make that happen. To make matters worse, state-run exchanges that are in

place—currently in sixteen states and the District of Columbia—are not able to verify employer insurance or income eligibility for substantial federal subsidies during the first year of operation. This means that there is no way to verify that someone who claims a government subsidy actually qualifies, opening the program to unintended risks of fraud and waste of taxpayer dollars. President Obama sold his healthcare reform law by promising it would spur job growth, allow all of us to keep the healthcare we have, and reduce the costs of healthcare insurance. Unfortunately, every one of those promises has proven false. The legislation is instead becoming the train wreck many of us feared. I believe our healthcare system as a whole needs reform, but it needs reform that works. It needs patient-centered reform that actually reduces the escalating cost of health care coverage and focuses on rewarding quality. The recent actions by the Administration only confirm the problems with Obamacare, and pushing the problems off for another year isn’t going to make it better. Obamacare should be repealed and replaced with bipartisan solutions that address the high cost and uneven quality of healthcare. That’s the way to avoid the train wreck and get our healthcare system on track.

Residential Financing in a Nut Shell: Conventional and Government-Guaranteed Mortgages Generally, you can finance a home through a conventional mortgage, a government-guaranteed mortgage, or through seller financing. This article focuses on residential financing through the use of conventional mortgages and government-guaranteed mortgages. Q: What is a conventional mortgage, and how can I get one to finance my home? A: A conventional mortgage is a loan that a lender (such as a bank or a mortgage company) makes to a buyer. A conventional mortgage generally follows guidelines set by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, two mortgage associations that the U.S. government originally created to raise home ownership levels. Although created by the government, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac do not guarantee home loans (unlike VA and FHA loans, which the government guarantees). When shopping for a conventional mortgage, you will compare interest rates and terms. Most conventional mortgages have fixed or adjustable interest rates. Typical fixed-rate loans have a term of 15 or 30 years. A shorter-term loan generally carries a lower interest rate. Adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs) fluctuate, so your monthly payments can go up or down according to the rate of a standard financial index. Before agreeing to give you a conventional mortgage, the lender will review your financial history, income and credit score. Generally, you will need an excellent credit score to qualify for a conventional mortgage with a good interest rate. The standard down payment for a conventional loan is currently 20 percent of the purchase price. Q: What are the benefits of getting a conventional mortgage? A: Typically, conventional mortgage loans are less expensive over the life of the loan than government-guaranteed loans. Q: What are the drawbacks of a conventional mortgage? A: Some borrowers have difficulty qualifying for a conventional mortgage because they cannot meet credit score or other documentation requirements. Q: What is a government-guaranteed loan, and might I qualify for one?

LAW YOU CAN USE OHIO STATE BAR

A: Government mortgages are guaranteed either by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) or the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). This means that the government guarantees that the value of the home will be high enough to repay the lender in the event of foreclosure. To qualify for a government loan, you must meet the requirements of the loan program you choose. VA loans are for military veterans. FHA loans are typically for first- time home buyers and have income limitations. Q: What are the benefits of getting a governmentguaranteed loan? A: There are two primary benefits. Initially, and for many new home buyers, the most important benefit is that the lender will loan you a much higher percentage of the purchase price. FHA and VA loans typically cover nearly 100 percent of the loan as compared to the home’s value, while a standard mortgage covers no more than 80 percent of this “loan-to-value” ratio. Secondly, a government program generally doesn’t require as high a credit score as conventional financing does. Q: Are there any drawbacks to financing my home through government -guaranteed loans? A: Yes. The government insurance component is not free. As a borrower, you would pay an insurance premium to the government that can be as much as three percent of the loan amount, depending on the loan-tovalue ratio. Also, not everyone qualifies for government-guaranteed loans. A VA loan is intended for veterans and FHA loans are restricted to those who qualify according to income and other criteria. Additionally, government-guaranteed loans require inspections by certified inspectors and will require certain repairs to be made. Many sellers do not like working with buyers who use government-guaranteed loans because of these requirements and because some fees traditionally paid by buyers are required to be paid for by the seller.

Q: What if I don’t qualify for a government-guaranteed loan and don’t have 20 percent down payment money for a conventional mortgage? A: You can also consider getting private mortgage insurance so that you can borrow more than 80 percent of the value of the home you want to buy. Private mortgage insurance increases the overall cost of the loan, and this cost is built into your payments or financed through a higher interest rate. Q: How do I find out which loan is right for me? A: Any reputable, fullservice mortgage lender will offer both standard financing and governmentguaranteed financing, and will be able to explain the product options to you.

Once the hospital officially changes hands, Surapaneni intends to hold a bar-b-que and open house to invite community members to see what’s on the drawing board.

New IGA Owner holds meeting CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 manufacturers coupons and Ohio EBT cards. “We will be a full service grocery store”, Rabe said. “If we don’t already offer something, talk to us about it and we’ll look into it.” Rabe also had product samples available for the audience to try. They included Steak Hoagie sandwiches that will be available for $3.99 at the store deli, and samples of carryout pizza that will be available. Rabe also discussed how happy he was that a number of former employees of the Georgetown store had asked for their jobs back. “All of them told me that they can’t wait to get back and see their customers again”, Rabe said. Rabe added that there were “a new, not many” jobs still available, and that interested applicants should come by the store location this week. Rabe also said that shoppers can also expect competitive prices. “We have to be competitive every day with our prices. I don’t want someone to have to drive outside of Georgetown to shop because someone else has lower prices.”

Rabe also said he would match competitors ads for the current week the ad was running, and requested that customers bring the ads with them for verification. Rabe said that the store will have plenty of options for shoppers. “We will have a very high quality perishable department and all the meat will be cut fresh daily in the store, not prepackaged. We will also have a full service deli and bakery with doughnuts made fresh daily right in the store.” Rabe also operates IGA stores in Vevay and Versailles Indiana. The Georgetown store will be his third, and a fourth store is planned for Ross, Ohio. Following the meeting, Rabe said he was very happy to see so many people turn out to hear about his new store. “I’m excited”, he said. “I’m pumped and ready to go to get this store open for business.” In a July 21 interview for The Brown County Press, Rabe said that he places a high priority in being involved in local communities where his stores are located. “For example, we sponsored a local football team in Vevay and held a dinner for local veterans at one of our other stores. We are looking to have the same level of

community involvement in Georgetown.” Rabe also said that he and the local employees enjoy doing things like sponsor events at county fairs. “I am looking foward to joining the Georgetown community as a business owner and a participant in local activities.” Rabe has forty years of experience in the grocery industry, spending 32 years in management at Kroger and six years as President of Remke Markets. He said that despite what many may think, independent grocery stores are making a comeback in many communities. “Well run independent stores are growing in market share. They are more open to new ideas and trying new things more than large corporations in many instances. If you do a good job, invest in your people and in quality products, you’ll be successful.” Rabe also said that he likes to reward his employees for excellent work by paying a quarterly bonus to workers based on the performance of their stores. “If you want to keep people who are really concerned with customer service and doing a good job, it makes sense to share the profits of the store with them.”

south when Trzeciak followed James Mootispaw and pulled out his gun. “Trzeciak followed James Mootispaw and confronted him. That’s when the shots were fired.”, Mount said. Trzeciak was indicted on Murder charges in Brown County Common Pleas Court on August 7. He faces a minimum of 18 years in prison, including a three year gun specification. Darrell Mootispaw faces two counts of Involuntary Manslaughter, both first degree felonies. The charges are based on the fact that the death of James Mootispaw occurred during the alleged commis-

sion of Trafficking in Marijuana and Complicity to Theft. Mootispaw also faces a charge of Trafficking in Marijuana, a third degree felony and Complicity in the Commission of an Offense, a fifth degree felony. Mootispaw’s indictment for the Complicity charge states that he “did aid or abet James Mootispaw in the theft of $1200 from Joseph Trzeciak by deception.” Brown County Prosecuting Attorney Jessica Little said that the manslaughter charges were filed against Mootispaw “because a death occurred and he is responsible for his actions that resulted in that death.”

Nine horses removed from farm BY Martha B. Jacob The Brown County Press Leslie Zureick, President of the Brown County Humane Society, reported to the Brown County Press last week that she was forced to remove nine horses from a Georgetown farm. Zureick said that she received a call from a concerned neighbor of the owner of the horses on West Fork Road. After being sent photos of several of the badly emaciated horses, she arranged to visit the property and see for herself. “I was glad that the neighbor sent me such good pictures of the horses, because I needed evidence to get on the property.” Zureick said most of the horses were Tennessee walkers with at least one thoroughbred. “Several of the horses seemed to be in fairly good condition, but at least three

of them were in very bad shape,” she said. “I felt it was essential that I remove the horses from the premimmediately. I ises arranged to have them taken to a nearby farmer who agreed to temporarily house them. I contacted a veterinarian to come out right away and assess the issues facing the horses, and start them on whatever medicines or supplements they might need.” Zurich continued, “There was also a bassett hound at the property with a very nasty eye infection. The dog warden picked it up and took it to the shelter. I saw some cats there too, but they seemed to be in pretty good condition.” Zureick said that she is trying to talk the owner into surrendering the horses to the humane society. The owner will have to face a judge who will make the final decision on what the future of the horses will be. Zureick said if the owner

does decide to surrender the horses she will have to find outside foster/rescue centers to care for the animals. The shelter faces some hefty expenses for care of,

vet bills and food for the horses. Contact the shelter at (937) 378-3457 for more information on these horses and on how to apply to adopt one of them.

A look at F’ville and WB football BY Brandon Barb The Brown County Press FAYETTEVILLE With only a short time left before the start of the school year, Western Brown High School and Fayetteville-Perry High School football teams are gearing up for another smash-mouth season. Both teams are in the middle of their preparations before the first game, but some things still need to be worked on. “A big goal of ours is to get over that 500 mark,” Fayetteville Head Coach Nathan Geers said. “We've go a big group of seniors, and this is their last go round and they understand that. We are putting in a new offense and

tweaking our defense. We're kind of starting from the beginning with our offense.” This is the fourth season for Fayetteville program, and there have been some struggles through previous seasons. In total, the program has won seven games in three seasons and has seen three different head coaches. Geers, who is only 25, was the defensive coordinator for the last two years before stepping into the head coach position. “We set high expectations for ourselves, as coaches and players. The players know them, and so far we're working to meet them,” Geers said. Though there have been struggles, the Fayetteville Rockets are look-

ing to turn that around. “We've got 32 [guys] out this year, and they are

a really good group of players,” Geers said. “Every week will be exciting. Our kids won't back down from anyone, and they will put in the effort to make sure this program has continued success.” The first home game for Geers and the Fayetteville players is Sept. 6 vs. Bethel High School. WESTERN BROWN Coming off of an 8-2 season, the Western Brown Broncos are faced with the task of matching their performance or doing better, and that might happen. “This season we return a lot of experience. We have 16 starters back. Last year we were very

inexperienced in a lot of positions, and this year we look forward to seeing that experience grow and see some younger guys step into key positions,” Western Brown Head Coach Evan Dreyer said. Dreyer's quarterback, Devon Wood, returns from last year and he has been working to improve the offensive game for the Broncos. “He's worked really hard with the receivers to improve his game, and make our offense faster and better. We want to become a more physical offense,” Dreyer said. While the offense might be similar, the defense has changed. Dreyer has introduced a new look for the 9 return-

ing defensive players. “Defensively, we're going to be very basic. We changed into a 3-4, and we will throw different looks at people but we want our kids to be very fast and stop the run,” Dreyer said. Like Fayetteville, Western Brown has more players in the program than before, and they are looking to make the their respective programs thrive in the years to come. “Our defense and offense are going to be exiting [this year],” Dreyer said. The Broncos have their first home game on Sept. 6 against Little Miami High School.

There was some extra money on the line for the late model feature winner during the final event on Aug. 2, before the biggest race of the season. Taking the win in the first heat was Chad Stapleton, of Edinburgh, Ind. Stapleton beat out last week's feature winner Jason Smith, of Seymour, Ind. In heat race two, Ethan Burgess, of Cincinnati, won out over Jesse Lay, of Verona, Ky. Stapleton won the Diamond Cut Lawn Care Fast car dash, coming from the fourth spot and earning the pole position in the feature event. At the drop of the green flag Stapleton was out front with Burgess in tow but the man on the move was fifth starting Duane Chamberlain, who was working the extreme low side of the track while the rest of the field was working the top side. Following a caution on lap three for Kelly Lippert, who spun out in turn four, it was Stapleton still leading but Burgess, Lay and Chamberlain had a great battle going on for second. By lap 15, caution for debris in the front stretch gave Chamberlain the second spot for the restart but three laps later

Creature Feature Canine nutrition is misunderstood One aspect of canine care and keeping that is the most misunderstood is that of proper nutrition. Years ago, dogs were fed exclusively from the table and many of them seemed to thrive. Those were actually the ones who were lucky enough to receive, by chance, the proper ratio of protein, fat, carbohydrates, fiber, and minerals. People remember those dogs that lived to a ripe old age and tend to forget the extremely high puppy death rate and that many dogs died young due to nutrition-related problems. With the coming of modern food processing techniques and research into nutrition, we have available many complete, pre-packaged diets in a variety of forms. We no longer need to feed our pets in a haphazard manner from the table! Many people feel that dogs need some variety to their diet, but the fact is that dogs thrive on monotony in their diets. Variety in the diet is entirely unnecessary, and is in fact how a number of feeding-related behavior problems arise. Among these problems are begging (especially from the table,) extreme finickiness, and obesity, which is probably the most common nutritional problem seen in pet dogs and cats. The source of the problem is simple to discern – the dog is receiving too many calories for its energy needs. A dog of normal weight can often be expected to outlive its obese counterpart by as much as 40 percent. Feeding good quality dog food will enhance your pet’s health and longevity. There are dozens of types and brands of dog food to choose from, and trying to choose the right one can be overwhelming. Here are some tips to help you choose the best food one for your dog: • Choose the food that is formulated for your pet’s life stage (puppy, senior, adult) and type (small breed, giant breed). From three weeks of age up to 20 weeks, your puppy’s growth rate is astronomical, and his food intake must keep up. Giant breed puppies pose a special problem. For puppies of large or giant breeds, look for special foods of lower nutrient density. With these dogs, rapid growth can exacerbate degenerative hip problems or joint disease. Although hip dysplasia is a genetic problem, overfeeding at a young age can contribute to it. These breeds are prone to skeletal problems if not fed properly during their growing phase. Senior pet foods usually supply important ingredients such as glu-

cosamine for joint health and contain fewer calories to compensate for a less active pet and higher-quality proteins for easier digestion. • Read the label. As with human food labels, pet food labels are regulated by the federal government, the Food and Drug Administration and the Department of Agriculture. The list of ingredients must be in descending order. This means that the most prevalent part of the diet is listed first and then followed by each ingredient in order by weight. How the product is listed on the label is also strictly regulated. In order to call something “Beef for Dogs,” at least 95 percent of the product must be the named meat. If the name has a combination of meats, such as “Chicken and Liver,” the two products together must be 95 percent of the product with the first ingredient listed more prevalent. If the amount of the meat is over 25 percent but less than 95 percent, a qualifier must be added. The word dinner is a commonly added qualifier but platter, entrée, nuggets and formula are also common. Another rule regarding product name is the use of “with.” In pet food such as “Dog Food with Chicken,” since the word “chicken” follows “with,” that food must have at least three percent of the food as

chicken. This wording can fool some people. “Beef Dog Food” is very different than “Dog Food with Beef.” The first has 95 percent beef. The second only has three percent beef. To make matters even more confusing is everything on the side of a bag or can, can only be compared on a “Dry matter basis.” What this means that if you take all the water away what is left is the dry matter basis of the food. So canned food (with 50 percent water) can appear a lot different unless comparisons are made on a dry matter basis. Feed the best quality food you can afford. The saying really applies to pet food, You get what you pay for. Good ingredients cost money, no way around it. The feeding requirements are less for a quality food, so it’s not as expensive as it seems. Most dry dog food is soybean, corn or rice based. Non-meat products in dog food tend to pass right through the dog, creating more waste in the form of loose stools than when a quality dog food is fed. Less waste to clean up from the yard is always a good thing for dog owners! Higher quality dry dog food has meat, chicken or fishmeal listed as the main ingredients. Some dry dog food eliminates grains all together or is completely organic. Check with your veterinarian for their specific preference for your dog.

BY Faye Mahaffey Master Gardner Volunteer After mowing the lawn this week my husband asked me to check out something he had found in the landscape. “What is that?” he asked as he pointed to a mysterious “slime” in the driveway and in-between the rows of tomato cages. A recent edition of OSUE’s Buckeye Yard and Garden Line solved the mystery. NOSTOC ALGAE or NOSTOC BALLS are actually photosynthesizing bacteria. Unlike its water-locked counterparts, NOSTOC can grow on grass, stone, and even concrete. Though a terrestrial alga, it still needs moisture and warmth to thrive. It stays desiccated and dormant until the right rainy conditions arrive. Then it becomes active, growing into thick folds of green slime. With this warm, humid, rainy weather, it is not surprise that homeowners are starting to spot this “land-loving algae.” It is not harmful nor is it toxic, but it is very slippery and could pose a falling hazard so tread carefully. For small infestations, removing NOSTOC with a shovel is the most effective solution. For both gravel and lawn issues, improving drainage and reducing irrigation can be one way of reducing growth but in this rainy, humid weather, drainage may not help. Raking is not recommended as it will merely break up and spread the algae further. Unfortunately there are few chemical recommendations for homeowners that are long lasting or fully effective, but research is ongoing. For now, all one can do is remove what they can, and hope for a drier season next year! Your gardening checklist

for August includes: 1) Fertilize annuals, especially those in containers. Remove spent annuals and replace with new plants to keep beds and containers fresh, 2) Divide irises and daylilies as they complete blooming, 3) Divide and transplant peonies, 4) Cut back yarrow, catmint, coreopsis and veronica by onethird when plants stop flowering to encourage new foliage and blooms, 5) Maintain watering and weeding, 6) Harvest herbs for freezing or drying, 7) Do a final planting of vegetables for fall harvest: spinach, lettuce, kale, and chard, 8) Check plants for signs of pests and diseases, 9) Evaluate your garden with an eye for improvements and write them down in your journal, 10) Add extra fall-blooming perennials to the garden, 11) Study bulb catalogs and order garlic and flowering bulbs and corms to plant this fall, 12) Directseed turnips for a fall harvest, and 13) Propagate strawberries or weed them and thin out runners. I have been eyeing the

weeds in my perennial bed. It is amazing how quickly things can get out of hand. The driveways have been sprayed again, and the cooler weather will hopefully make the weeding job a bit more pleasant. My Magic lilies have popped up and are in full bloom. Hummingbirds and bees have been busy collecting food. They too seem to sense that summer is drawing to a close. Don’t forget to email your gardening questions to OSUE Brown County Master Gardener, Mike at Hannah, mhannah2@msn.com. A Master Gardener Volunteer will be at the Georgetown OSUE office on Wednesdays from 1 to 3 p.m. if you would like to stop by with a gardening question or problem. Have you ever considered saving seeds for next year’s growing season? I know several gardeners who walk their gardens daily collecting seeds. Next week I will share some tips before you start this new hobby!

Red Oak news happenings While planning to be in Ripley next weekend please make plans to stop by the Ohio Tobacco Museum of Ripley. What a great and wonderful experience of having Jim Arnold give a guided tour of this unsung diamond of a museum sitting almost directly across from Reverend John Rankins monument located in Maplewood Cemetery. There is so much to see and experience in this museumThe-Only-One-Of-It'sKind-In-The-World! This museum does not promote the use of tobacco but it tells the story of the product that put southern Ohio and northern Kentucky on the map; allowing farmers the ways and means to provide for their families and very probable, at one time, made it possible for the enslaved people to reach freedom. Happy, Happy Birthday this week to you if it is your day and Happy, Happy Birthday to Alline Hines, Lillian Flaugher, Blanche M. Baird Hammond, Mary L. Finley Kirker, Kimy Fizer, Anna Bosch Knechtly, Wilma C. Hardyman Jimison, Isabella Rodriques, Robert Watson, Barbara R.

Just heard from Daniel Salisbury, he visited and sat in the church pew of our common ancestor James Salisbury at St. Luke's Parrish, in Church Hill, Maryland. According to Daniel, James attended there and married there in 1730 and had his own pew. Daniel is planning to be here next week on another Salisbury fact finding mission. Once upon a time a guy named Joe that was running for president suggested reading a book called This Present Darkness. I did and now I am making the same suggestion to you. However, I would also more than that suggest reading a book that continues to be on the bestsellers list-the book that appears to answer any question imaginable-The Bible.
