Legal fight not over in Aberdeen BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press Annette Applegate wants to provide free water to the approximately 300 homes in her mobile home park in Aberdeen. The Brown County Rural Water Association does not want that to happen.

Attorney Stan Purdy has filed a request for a Temporary Restraining Order from Common Pleas Judge Scott Gusweiler on August 8 to prevent Applegate from proceeding with her plan. Applegate wants to bring water from wells that have been drilled on her property south of Highway 52 to serv-

ice the homes in the mobile home park she owns just west of Aberdeen. “It would save me almost $2500 a month because I have to pay basic water rates for all my empty lots. How is it fair that I have to pay for a service that I’m not even using?”, Applegate asked. She has already hired an

engineer to work on the project, and has been in discussions with the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency regarding the approval process. “I’m trying to see if I can provide free water to the people in my mobile home park. I don’t see why I cant”, Applegate said.

“If those wells were good enough for the village to build a water treatment plant, I don’t understand why I can’t use them to provide my residents free water.” She is refering to the wells that were drilled in anticipation of the village building its own water plant. That plant was never constructed and

was the subject of a lawsuit that resulted in a $700,000 judgement against the village. The BCRWA offered to purchase the Aberdeen water system for $700,000 to pay off the judgement against the village. The sale required approval by village voters, CONTINUED ON PAGE 9

New system coming to BC BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press The Brown County accounting system is going to get its first upgrade since 1976. County payroll and other financial transactions are currently being tracked on a 38 year old system that uses MS-DOS. But that will soon change. Brown County Auditor Jill Hall signed a contract August 13 worth $178,539.97 with a Lebanon, Ohio company to provide the latest hardware and accounting software for the county. “Things that take twenty steps now will take two steps

in the future”, Hall said. “It will be easier to train people to work with the system in all the county offices and we expect that it will save time and improve productivity.” Hall said the contract also includes training and support. Brown County Commissioner Barry Woodruff said the current system is still mainly paper-based and is very inefficient. “People have to send letters over here to spend money, and sometimes there isn’t enough money in that budget line item for them to spend. So we have to let CONTINUED ON PAGE 9

Donohoo gets fifteen years BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press Shaun Donohoo was sentenced to 15 years in prison on August 11 by Common Pleas Court Judge Scott Gusweiler. Donohoo pleaded guilty to three counts of Robbery and two counts of Felonious Assault on July 21. He was sentenced to four years for each Robbery count to be served consecutively to each other, and was sentenced to three years for each Felonious Assault count. The two assault charges will run consecutively, making his total prison sentence CONTINUED ON PAGE 9

Nine Indicted by Brown County Grand Jury BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press Nine people were indicted by a Brown County Grand Jury on August 8 on a variety of charges. Michael Pryor, 29 of Mt. Orab, faces two counts of second degree Felonious Assault for causing or attempt-

ing to cause physical harm to two adult victims. He is charged with attacking one victim with a baseball bat. Pryor also faces three first degree misdemeanor charges of Aggravated Menacing for causing three children, ages 9, 7 and 5 to believe that Pryor would cause them physical harm.

Codie Taylor, 23 of Cincinnati, faces four counts of second degree felony Burglary and four counts of third degree felony Grand Theft of a Firearm or Dangerous Ordnance. Joanie Cogan, 29 of Ripley, faces one fifth degree felony count each of Theft and Forgery.

Saturday night of the event brought live music from the Chris Higbee Band. “Saturday was a very busy day,” said Luschek. “There were many people who came out for the live entertainment, and the band put on a great show.” Over nearly four-and-ahalf decades, the OVAM Show has provided affordable fun for families. Since most can remember, the entry fee has stood at $5 per person while costs involved in putting on the show have continued to rise. OVAM membership costs have also remained the same. “Expenses go up, but our membership and daily entrance fees have remained the same,” said Luschek. “We did, however, raise the camping prices four years ago.” Aiding in the show's success over the years have been a slew a number of antique machinery owners who are excited to get the opportunity to show off their vintage steam engines and other antiques to those in attendance.

It has been since August of 2009 that Sgt. Shawn Newman of the Aberdeen Police Department learned that the village would be the recipient of a 79 inch, 2,233 pound I-beam from the scene of the 9-11 World Trade Center. On Saturday, September 6, 2014 a very special “Never Forget 9/11 Memorial Dedication” will be held beginning at 9:30 a.m. at the Aberdeen Park, Green Space. “This memorial to 9/11

is important to our village,” said Chief Will Eastwood with the Aberdeen-Huntington Township Fire Department and Life Squad. “Right now we are asking the community and the county to help with the cost of this project. They can do that by being a part of the ‘Buy-A-Brick project, which is an opportunity for everyone to leave a lasting imprint of their support for the 9/11 Fire and EMS Memorial.” Through the Buy-ABrick program, a personalized brick can be purchased which has been engraved

with a persons name, a family member, the name of a club or organization and a date. “We’ve already sold a lot of the 4” by 8” bricks which have three lines of engraving on them,” Chief Eastwood said. “They can be bought for $35 each. And we also have 8” by 8” bricks which hold six lines of engraving for only $75 each. “Maysville Monument will be doing all the engraving. All these personalized bricks will be used to pave the walkway leading up to the memorial and will support the construction.” When completed the memorial will be located just behind the second playground area at the park, just off Water Street near the

Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over Campaign kicks off Brown County Safe Communities held its kickoff of the nationwide campaign of "Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over" Saturday, August 9th at the Mt. Orab Music in the Park. This year’s campaign will run August 15th through September 1st, covering the end of summer and the busy Labor Day holiday weekend. The goal is to present an unmistakable show of force, ready to discourage individuals from driving drunk and putting lives at risk. If drunk driving was eliminated, more than 10,000 lives would be spared each year. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is calling on thousands of law enforcement agencies to join in the fight against drunk driving. By working together, increasing public awareness and using a no-excuses approach to enforcement, a strong message can be conveyed that drunk driving will not be tolerated. In 2012, the families of 10,322 people were devastated by the tragic, preventable death of loved ones in alcohol-involved crashes. Young drivers (18-34) represent the largest segment of drunk drivers in the United States; among the people killed in drunk-driving crashes over the Labor Day holiday weekend, for example, almost half (45%) were between the ages of 18 and 34. For those under the age of 21 it was illegal to consume alcohol, yet they did drink and, in addition, chose to drive after drinking. • One in three traffic fatalities in America are alcoholrelated. • Over the Labor Day

weekend in 2012, one person was killed every 34 minutes, on average, in an alcohol-impaired-driving crash. • The same weekend, 390 people lost their lives in traffic crashes. A staggering 25 percent of those involved a driver or motorcycle operator with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .15 or higher – almost double the legal limit in all states and DC. • Among drivers killed in traffic crashes over the Labor Day holiday period in 2012, about 41 percent of them were impaired. NHTSA data indicates that highly visible enforcement campaigns can reduce drunk-driving fatalities by up to 20 percent. Part of the kickoff was a free sample of a Mocktail developed by the Brown County Municipal Court called The Chiller. A mocktail is an non-alcoholic drink that could be offered at parties in place of alcoholic drinks to help avoid driving impaired. Dale Anderson served up the frozen concoction of ice cream, orange juice, ginger ale and fruit

juice. The Brown County Sheriff's Department and the Ohio State Highway Patrol were also represented at the kickoff. Their goal is increase their time on the roads and assist in deterring individuals from driving impaired. Brown County Safe Communities is funded by the U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Ohio Department of Public Safety/Ohio State Highway Patrol-Ohio Traffic Safety Office. The program is administered by the Area Health Education Center of the University of Cincinnati AHEC Program located at 114 East State Street, Georgetown, OH. Its membership consists of local law enforcement, community members, county officials, businesses, health organizations and educators. Brown County Safe Communities' mission is to reduce the number of fatal and serious injury traffic crashes on Brown County roads, with a special focus on the youthful driver.

Woody Whittington, coordinator of the Mt. Orab Music in the Park concerts is anxious about the upcoming concert featuring the “Off-RRockers Band” scheduled for Saturday night Aug. 23 from 6:30 until 10 p.m. The free concert is sponsored by The Gingerbread House Daycare center at 406 W. Main Street in Mt. Orab. “This band is a real crowd pleaser and I know the band is going to be happy with our new bandstand at the park,” Whittington said. Off-R-Rockers Band is Cincinnati based and has been performing together for several decades. The band consists of five members who play familiar songs that everyone enjoys singing along with. The group sings songs like Black Magic Woman by Santana, Two Tickets to Paradise by Eddie Money, Breakdown by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress by the Hollies and Life in the Fast Lane

by the Eagles. The group plays a large variety of rock, southern rock and country dance music. The band plays popular hit songs heard on the radio. They also provide DJ music during breaks to keep visitors on their feet. “We’re happy to have OffR-Rockers back again this year,” Whittington said. “They sure were a big hit last

year. “We also want to announce that on Saturday, Aug. 30, we are planning a make-up concert featuring the band Saffire Express. Their concert scheduled for June 28 was rained out so we’re real glad to have them back. “These last three shows are being sponsored by Mt. Orab Ford which will include

As grants became available the Ohio Historical Society, owners of the Rankin House, located in Ripley, raised enough money to completely renovate the historical home in Ripley. The public is openly invited to attend a grand rededication of the Rankin House on Saturday, August 23 at 11 a.m. “The research for restoring this home began last year and was extensive,” said Betty Campbell, Rankin House site manager and president of Ripley Heritage, Inc. “The new shake shingle roof, identical to its original, was completed last year. “Part of the grant money was used to have a paint analysis done. Because of the way they researched things in the 1940’s, when it was last renovated, we found that with todays technology, we were able to do a better job of matching the original.” She said the paint, both inside and out has now been duplicated as closely as it can be. Campbell said that both the downstairs rooms of the house facing the river had stenciling, which has now been copied exactly as it was in the 1830’s. Artist were hired to do the intricate stenciling.

U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) and U.S. Rep. Joyce Beatty (OH-3) introduced legislation to begin the process of incorporating the John P.

Parker was a champion in the abolitionist movement,” Brown said. “As a former slave, he risked his life to help others secure their freedom. Adding this home into the National Park System as a national monument is an appropriate honor for this dedicated, selfless, and trailblazing American. John. P. Parker is an example of the best of Ohio.” “After securing his freedom from the bondage of slavery, John P. Parker worked tirelessly as an abolitionist to help liberate countless slaves.

Kris Lemon, proprietor of Deco Works and Kyle Penunuri were busy getting on and off scaffold set up in the room. Rankin House is a national historic landmark and is the highest designation that the federal government can give to a historic site. “It means that the people who lived here and the events that took place here had significance throughout the United States, not just here in Ripley,” Campbell said. “We are very proud of Rankin House. The Ohio Historical Society actually owns this site but they have recently, in the last couple of months, had a name change. They are now called the Ohio History Connection. They own this site, but it is managed by the local history group in Ripley called Ripley Heritage, Inc. We’ve managed the site since 1981.” Campbell added that several years ago the Ohio History Connection started making plans for a major restoration of Rankin House both exterior and interior. “The site was purchased in 1938,” she added, “but wasn’t restored and opened up to the public until 1948.

Parker Historical Society, Inc. is excited to have had Senator Brown introduce Senate Bill #2610 in the Senate, requesting a suitability and feasibility study of the Parker House Museum, an Underground Railroad site, to become a unit of the National Park System,” Carol Stivers, President of John P. Parker Historical, Inc. said. “If we would become part of the National Park System it would bring longevity to our facility and more national recognition to John Parker's life and his contributions to American history. The economic impact of increased tourism and the possibility of more jobs to Southern Ohio are what the John P. Parker Historical Society Board of Trustees are hoping for in the future. We are grateful to Senator Brown who is very sensitive to the needs of Southern Ohio.” John P. Parker was born into slavery in 1827. Initially living in Norfolk, Virginia, Parker was bought

Rankin House, ranked a National Historical Landmark by the federal government, has recently undergone a complete renovation thanks to grant funds received by the Ohio Historical Society and the Ripley Heritage, Inc.

So we’ve been telling this underground railroad story for 66 years. “This was the home of Reverend John Rankin, who was a Presbyterian minister, and ardent abolitionist. He came to the Ripley area in 1822, but this wasn’t his first home. His first home is still standing and is located down by the river.” John Rankin and his wife Jean ended up with a large family of 13 children and he needed a bigger house. So he bought the hillside farm and built the house in 1829. He spoke out against slavery and spent his lifetime trying to end slavery. In addition to the Ohio Anti-Slavery Society, Rankin also

and sold multiple times before securing his freedom in 1845. Following his liberation, Parker moved to Cincinnati and ultimately settled in the Village of Ripley, Ohio, located in Brown County. Parker went on to own and operate a successful metal foundry, becoming one of the first African-Americans to receive patents for his inventions. In addition to his successful business, Parker became an active member of the Underground Railroad. Historical records attribute Parker with helping secure the freedom of hundreds of slaves through the Underground Railroad. Parker worked with abolitionist John Rankin, and together they supported a robust abolitionist movement on the Ohio River. The John P. Parker home is located on North Front Street in Ripley and has operated under the John P. Parker Historical Society since 1996. The legislation, currently cosponsored by several U.S. Representatives would require the National Park Service to conduct a special resource study to help determine the feasibility of the Parker house being added to the National Park System.

helped establish the Free Presbyterian Church of America, which prohibited slave owners from becoming members, and the Ripley Anti-Slavery Society. He also helped in the founding of the College of Ripley which admitted its first African-American student the following year. Rankin is well known for providing safe houses for slaves who were escaping to Canada. “We are very excited about all the work that has been done here,” Campbell said with a smile, “We hope everyone in the community, the county and Ohio will come to the Rankin House rededication on August 23.”

Causes and Treatment Options for Neck Pain Dr. Lydia Ogden Fifty to seventy percent of the population will experience neck pain at least once in their lives, and as much as one third of the population is affected each year. Due to the tremendous cost of low back pain in the United States, neck pain has been somewhat neglected, especially in terms Dr. Lydia Ogden of research dollars. At any is a Chiropractic given moment, 10% of the population has neck pain. Physician and Women are more likely to report neck pain than men, and is the owner of women are also more likely to report chronic neck pain. Active Living Neck pain is one of the most prevalent and costly health Chiropractic problems facing the workplace and health-care located communities and is the second leading chief complaint in Mt. Orab, OH. reported by patients seeking chiropractic care. Pain in the neck is most often due to stress and irritation of the tissues in the cervical region, particularly the facet joints. The stress and irritation develops after an injury or over time secondary to poor posture, lack of exercise, or repetitive stress, such as extended sitting and driving. Postural stress leads to muscle tightness and spinal joint stiffness and restriction. Lack of exercise leads to muscular weakness, muscle fatigue, muscle atrophy and loss of flexibility. The eventual spinal joint stiffness and facet restriction further perpetuates muscle tightness and pain. A truly comprehensive approach in treating neck pain should include eliminating postural stress and addressing the following: • Areas of spinal joint stiffness/restriction. • Areas of muscle tightness. • Areas of muscle weakness. • Chronic Inflammation. Chiropractic manipulation is the most effective treatment available to correct areas of spinal joint stiffness and restriction. The chiropractic adjustment is gently applied by hand and stimulates pain blocking nerves, restores normal joint movement, reduces muscle spasm and tightness, and increases blood flow to reduce inflammation. Physical rehabilitation and exercise are necessary to correct areas of muscle tightness and weakness. Lastly, proper diet and supplementation is the key to addressing chronic inflammation.

Protecting Ohio children from liquid nicotine and E-cigarettes The tobacco industry, in an effort to replace the 480,000 customers it loses each year to smoking-related deaths, has turned to electronic cigarettes, a new nicotine product that it hopes to make appealing to young people. These so-called ecigarettes are battery-operated devices that simulate traditional tobacco products and contain cartridges filled with highly-toxic liquid nicotine, which is then vaporized and inhaled. These companies try to draw children and young people to e-cigarettes with brightly colored packaging and flavorings, like Gummy Bears and Tutti Frutti. So far, it’s working. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), e-cigarette use has doubled among middle and

senator sherroD BroWn high school students since 2012. Not only are these products addicting, but just a teaspoon of liquid nicotine – either ingested or absorbed through the skin – could kill a small child. Since 2012, the number of accidental poisonings linked to these e-liquids has increased 300 percent. And yet, liquid nicotine containers aren’t required to have childproof packaging. If we childproof bleach, mouthwash, and aspirin, we should childproof toxic liquid nicotine. That’s why I’m cospon-

soring the Child Nicotine Poisoning Prevention Act of 2014. The bill would direct the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission to issue rules requiring safer, childresistant packaging for any liquid nicotine sold to consumers, to protect children from accidental poisoning. Very young children aren’t the only ones at risk. E-cigarette companies are using the same tactics to target young people that have already been banned for traditional tobacco companies. According to research published by the American Academy of Pediatrics, between 2011 and 2013, the number of teenagers exposed to e-cigarette marketing increased by 256 percent. In a letter to the Commissioner of the Food and Drug

Administration (FDA), I joined with 12 other members of Congress in urging the agency to take immediate action against e-cigarette companies’ predatory efforts to market their products to young people. We asked the FDA to ban e-cigarette companies from marketing to children, prohibit the use of liquid nicotine flavorings, and end online sales which allow minors to purchase ecigarette products without undergoing reliable age verification. The Child Nicotine Poisoning Prevention Act and new regulations by the FDA are an important step in the fighting the harmful effects of e-cigarettes. Our children deserve protection from dangerous products like liquid nicotine.

The House of Representatives wrapped up a busy legislative session late Friday night with the passage of a border security bill, after passing VA reform legislation and a Highway Trust Fund infrastructure bill earlier in the week. Congressman Brad Wenstrup (R-OH) supported the border security bill. “Doing nothing will not fix this border crisis. I believe that a thoughtful approach was taken to address this national security issue,” Wenstrup said. “This legislation supports our border security agents who are being overwhelmed, funds national guard deployments to the border, and expedites the safe return of minors to

During floor debate, many pointed to DACA as the cause of the current border crisis. The Senate failed to pass a border bill this week. Wenstrup noted that the House has now passed over 350 different bills that the Senate has not taken up, creating what he calls “a legislative logjam right on Harry Reid’s desk.”

WIC celebrates National Breastfeeding Month Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor, This year’s world-wide Breastfeeding Awareness Month (BAM)’s theme is “Breastfeeding: A Winning Goal - For Life!" and the Ohio WIC theme “Keep Calm and Carry-on Breastfeeding” is being celebrated throughout all of Ohio WIC projects. Special spotlight this year is focused on protecting and supporting breastfeeding women in

achieving their personal breastfeeding goals. As we know, obstacles exist for the continuation of breastfeeding despite recommendations supporting breastfeeding duration from public health authorities, protections that have put in place by federal and state laws, and WIC and other health professionals' work to promote and support breastfeeding as a community

norm. Breastfeeding support can be expressed in many forms by family and friends, employers, healthcare providers, childcare providers and the community at large. The WIC peer helper program, for example, provides the following: • Education for parents re: the aspects of normal breastfeeding • Emotional support to mother and significant other through personal interaction • Anticipatory guidance to reduce the occurrence of problems • Acting as an advocate for breastfeeding in the community, workplace, and healthcare system • Understanding how the cultural attitudes and practices of their community impact breastfeeding, including various myths and misconceptions about breastfeeding • Assisting in teaching breastfeeding classes for mothers and significant others • The personal aspect of breastfeeding an infant Breastfeeding provides increased immunity for the infant as well as helps reduce the risk of cancer and obesity throughout life. It is the only food that promotes optimal health in infants and is normal, natural and safe.

It also is necessary to remind us in these times of economic difficulty, breastfeeding saves money (estimates are $1200-$1500 per year by not requiring formula.) The Center for Disease Control’s 2013 Breastfeeding Report Card reports 76.5% infants began breastfeeding in 2010 with 49% still breastfeeding @ 6 months and 27% breastfeeding @ 12 months. These rates have increased due to the combined efforts of many entities working together and more mothers being willing to give breastfeeding a try with a strong support network. The Adams-Brown WIC program proudly salutes breastfeeding women and infants throughout the world and is ready to provide support, education and answers to questions. Please call your local WIC clinic for more information. In Adams County, call 937-544-3796 and in Brown County, call 937-378-6030. Our breastfeeding coordinator, Certified Lactation Consultant, and peer helpers are available for support. Thank you.

FISHING

Go with me to the book of John. After Jesus was crucified, after He was buried, after He was resurrected from the dead, the disciples were discouraged. They did not know that Jesus was really alive; in fact, they did not believe He was alive. They were depressed and discouraged and Peter was ready to call it quits. Verse 3 of chapter 21 tells us: “Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto him, We also go with thee...” Fishing was Peter’s occupation before he left it to follow Jesus. When he said that he was going back to fishing the others followed his lead. People are like sheep; they follow the leader and Peter was a natural leader. When Jesus had met Peter 3 years prior to this time, He told Peter in Matthew 4:19: “...Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.” So Peter was supposed to be a fisher of men, not fish. However, as soon as he thought that Jesus was dead, he reverted back to being a fisherman of fish. Instead of going forward he went back to what he was supposed to have left. Well, they fished all night and according to verse 3 of John 21 they caught nothing. Now look at verses 4-5: “But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore: but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus. Then Jesus saith unto them, Children, have ye any meat? They answered him, No.” You might wonder why they hadn’t caught anything. It was because they were doing something that they were not supposed to be doing. They were on the wrong tract just like many people are today. Their job was to tell other people about Jesus and Peter and the others who followed him were not doing that. But now watch what happens when they do what Jesus tells them to do. Verse 6: “And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall find...” They did what He said and look at the results in verse 11: “Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land full of great fishes, an hundred and fifty and three: and for all there were so many, yet was not the net broken.” Then Jesus invites them to a fish fry. Verse 12: “Jesus saith unto them, Come and dine. And none of the disciples durst ask him,

Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord.” So here was Jesus dining with them with His nail scarred hands! He had already died on the cross for our sins, was buried, and rose again. John 3:16 states: “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” He died not only for these disciples but for the whole world, for you and for me. Now once again He was showing them that He was alive, and furthermore, He is still alive today. Verse 14: “This is now the third time that Jesus shewed himself to his disciples, after that he was risen from the dead.” And they still did not understand it! You know, sometimes it takes us a long time to understand what God wants us to understand! When we think we understand, we still might not have it straight! We need to get it straight! Watch what Jesus says to Peter in verse 15: “...Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these?...” It was not a complicated question. It was a simple question: Peter do you love me more than these fish? And Peter said: “...Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee...” Jesus said feed my sheep. The lambs are the children and the sheep are us adults. Jesus asked Peter the same question for the third time. Peter answered the same and Jesus said again: “...Feed my sheep.” It took awhile for Peter to get the point. When Jesus said: “Simon son of Jonas...” Jesus was using Peter’s full name. He wanted his attention: Peter do what you are supposed to be doing! It is alright to love to go fishing, but, do not let anything take the place of the love of God! God should come first in our lives and we should be doing the job we are supposed to be doing!

Plaque to honor Pfc. Thomas Glenn DeFosse, Ripley’s only Vietnam war casualty BY Martha B. Jacob The Brown County Press

Several months ago, Ripley resident Eddie Brierly approached the Ripley Village Council members and requested some kind of memorial in the village to recognize and honor Ripley resident Pfc. Thomas Glenn De Fosse, as the only serviceman to be killed in action in Vietnam. After discussing the matter, council recommended placing a memorial plaque on Front Street in his honor. During the Aug. 12 council meeting, Brierly talked to council about an upcoming fundraiser to help defray the costs of the plaque. Both the American Legion Post 367 in Ripley and the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 2734, in Maysville are participating in the fundraising. “Everything is going well in raising the money for the plaque,” Brierly said. “We have a benefit dinner set up for August 23 from 4 to 7 P.M at the American Legion (2944 Elk River Road). Whatever we can raise will

Before we actually order anything, we will bring it back to council for approval.” Brierly said the memorial committee is looking to purchase a marker approximately 40 inches tall, about 26 inches wide and about 6 inches thick. “We plan on dedicating it in November,” Brierly said, “The reason we picked November is, De Fosse was a Marine and the U.S. Marine Corps’ birthday is November 10, 2014. “We’d love to do on the 10th, but that’s on a Monday. I plan on getting with Danny Bubp and Col. (Rick) Klinker to coordinate the project.” Brierly invited all of council to the dinner and thanked them for their help. He said the cost of the BBQ pulled pork dinner will be $8, children under 12 is $4.

Mayor Tom Leonard reminded council that August 23 was the scheduled rededication of Rankin House and invited all of council to show their support to both events. At council’s last meeting it was brought to its attention that council needed to appoint someone to serve a three year term as the seventh member of the Ripley/USDA Revolving Loan Committee. Following a nomination made by councilman Dave Otis, for local entrepreneur David Campbell to fill the seat, council approved the appointment of Campbell with councilman Charles Poole casting the only no vote. Council members briefly discussed the visit and overnight stay in the village of the Queen of the Mississippi River Boat several weeks ago. According to administra-

Mock explained that even though the ordinance says there must be 50 feet of road frontage, the owners of the property own the adjoining 200 feet, which, added to the existing property, more than makes up for the 50 feet. He added that the only reason the property had less than the necessary road frontage was because the village had vacated an alley along the property, and the lot was already in existence. Sardinia Fire Chief Chris Schumacher told council that he had received a request from the American Red Cross to keep an emergency vehicle parked at the fire department, out of the way of their building. “Red Cross wants to use one parking spot at the firehouse to stage a truck,” Chief Schumacher said. “They now have two Sardinia residents who will man the vehicle in case of an emergency. I told them I didn’t have a problem with it but I wanted to bring it to council before making a final decision. Before, we’ve had to get Red Cross volunteers out of

Adams County, but now they will be right here, so the response time will be really good. The vehicle will not be in our way.” Council told the chief that the plan was a good one and approved it. Mayor Todd Bumbalough told council that the first three sections of the old wrought iron fencing had been removed from in front of the cemetery and were currently being repaired and restored. Jay Cutrell, village solicitor, told council that the Sardinia Historical Society had hired attorney Stan Purdy to help write up a contract with the contractor doing the fence repairs. Cutrell said he would review the contract and report back to council. Cutrell said before any more of the fence is removed the contract needed to be approved by council. Police Chief Jim Lewis told council that a special CPR/AED Training session had been scheduled for Sunday, August 17 beginning at 2 p.m. at the Georgetown Fire House and everyone

tor Charles Ashmore, the stop of the Queen of the Mississippi in Ripley was a scheduled stop. “We’ve heard nothing but good things about the river boat’s stop in Ripley,” Ashmore said. “The captain, the crew and its passengers really enjoyed walking around our village. They especially appreciated how friendly everyone one was and the captain said he hopes the Ripley stop can be added to their regular schedule next year.” Each of the council members had stories to share about the visit of the paddlewheeler to the village. Mayor Leonard added that a special thank-you should go to Matt Layford, electric department supervisor for the village and Marty Regenstein, Ripley construction supervisor for jumping into action to provide a special pole, which allowed the river boat to dock overnight in the village. Council also confirmed the dates September 5, 6 and 7 (Friday, Saturday and Sunday) as town wide yard sale days. Also discussed was a pending agreement with a potential renter of a property owned by the village. “The village owns the front building of the old shoe outlet building,” Ashmore said. “We’ve been working with someone who is trying

Sardinia Council moves forward with refinancing debts BY Martha B. Jacob The Brown County Press

Sardinia Village Council approved an ordinance on August 11, providing for the issuance and sale of notes in the amount of $375,000 which will be used to pay off a $322,000 loan owed to U.S. Bank. The balance of the loan will go toward the cost to the village for crossing under State Route 32 with sewer lines. At councils’ July 14 meeting, Dallas Hurt, investment banker with Conners & Company, Inc., spoke to council and offered them the opportunity to borrow the funds from his company at a 1% interest rate as opposed to the 4.79% the village was currently paying. Hurt introduced Todd Cooper, bond attorney with Squire-Patton-Boggs Law Firm. “Mr. Cooper has been preparing the documents that need to be passed by council to consummate the financing that we’ve talked about, later in the month,” Hurt explained. “It is anticipated that the pre-closing will be August the 18th or 19th, and wiring the money into the village account the next day.” Several council members thanked the two gentlemen for all their help and unanimously agreed that this move by council would be good for the growth of the village. In other business at the meeting, council approved a variance to a resident to replace an older mobile home with a new double-wide. Some questions were under discussion since village ordinance states there must be at least 50 feet of road frontage. Village administrator Tim

was welcome to take the course.

Local Congressman reports for duty Wenstrup receives orders for Army Reserve annual training

Local Congressman Brad Wenstrup (R-OH) is taking the first two weeks of August to fulfill his military obligations, traveling to Fort McCoy in Wisconsin to complete his annual Army Reserve training. Wenstrup, a Reservist for 16 years, must complete a required amount of training each year. Wenstrup is able to fit his military service into his August schedule on top of local visits with Ohio businesses and constituents. “These two weeks are a great opportunity to work shoulder to shoulder with our nation’s finest, the men and women serving in uniform,” Wenstrup said. “As

a member of the House Armed Services Committee, the educational command training on Post helps me serve in Congress as well.” Wenstrup joined the Army Reserve in 1998, de-

ploying to Iraq in 2005 to 2006 as a combat surgeon. He currently holds the rank of Lieutenant Colonel and drills monthly at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center while in Washington, DC.

which came on August 5. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My residents didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get to vote on the contract because they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t live in the villageâ&#x20AC;?, Applegate said. The May 7 contract between the village and the BCRWA refers to the village and â&#x20AC;&#x153;adjacent areas of Huntington townshipâ&#x20AC;? in numerous places, but only those residents within the village voted on the question of its approval. One of the contingencies of the contract reads â&#x20AC;&#x153;All water users in and out of the village shall become customers and members of the association.â&#x20AC;? This presumably includes the residents of the mobile home park outside the village that Applegate plans to provide with free water. In the complaint asking for the restraining order, Purdy writes â&#x20AC;&#x153;If Defendants are permitted to build a treatment plant, install water lines and serve customers, Plaintiff will be damaged and such action is a violation of its contract with the Village of Aberdeen.â&#x20AC;? Applegate said that Purdy has contacted her numerous times, asking her not to proceed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stan Purdy asked me not

to submit my samples to the EPA, saying â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We can work out a deal.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Well, he canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give me free water, so what kind of deal could he offer me?â&#x20AC;?, she asked. Purdyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opinion of Applegateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan is a strong one. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a reckless action that has no basis in realityâ&#x20AC;?, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we created this contract thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been approved by Aberdeen council and the voters, we anticipated serving a certain number of customers. If she puts together a treatment plant, she will interfere with our contract. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prepared to deliver water in sufficient quality or quantity to these customers.â&#x20AC;? Purdy said that BCRW is planning to spend $2.5 million to serve the residents of Aberdeen and the surrounding area. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our purpose is to serve Aberdeen with good quality water, and our plan is to serve all the customers in Aberdeen. We are investing two and a half million dollars to be able to supply water to the Village of Aberdeen and if she builds a water treatment plant, it will be totally useless and superfluousâ&#x20AC;?, he said. A hearing on the matter was scheduled for Friday, August 15 after press time.

them know, and they have to generate another letter and get it over here. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very time consuming process. Now, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able to sit at their computer and see what funds are available to them at any given timeâ&#x20AC;?, he said. Hall said that time spent driving pieces of paper back and forth can now be spent more productively. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bills can be scanned in and e-mailed to my office rather than be mailed or hand carriedâ&#x20AC;?, she said. She added that phone calls or visits to her office to see if someone has enough money in an account to buy something or pay a bill will be in the past. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Right now, people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know from day to day how much money is in a particular line item. They either have to call my staff or come over to my office and figure it out. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very time consuming for everyone.â&#x20AC;? She added that while she realizes that there may be a bit of sticker shock at the price of the new system, it should begin paying for itself in a variety of ways. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Several of these offices are on another system that they are paying for. Now, they can move to the new system and save that moneyâ&#x20AC;?, Hall said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our audit fees have also been fairly high because auditors charge by the hour. The faster the data is available, the less time the audit takes, so we will save money that way too.â&#x20AC;? Hall added that payroll costs could be cut once the new system is online. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have a budgetary clerk who would prefer to work

less. With this new system, we should be able to get her to the three days a week that she wants and save some payroll money.â&#x20AC;? Woodruff also said that the new system should free up time previously spent by county workers â&#x20AC;&#x153;running paper back and forthâ&#x20AC;? to more productive pursuits. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From an elected officials point of view, all offices need to look at productivity enhancements that will possibly save some payroll expense down the road', he said. Twelve different county offices came together to help pay for the new system, a development praised by Woodruff and Hall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m so appreciative that there are people in this county that realize that we have to move the county forward and that it canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be done by just one person. We need to work together. When we do that, the whole county is better for itâ&#x20AC;?, Hall said. Woodruff praised Hall for recognizing the problem and working quickly to find a solution. Hall returned the sentiment to the commissioners. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is a group of commissioners here who are committed to moving forward and recognize the needâ&#x20AC;?, she said. The Brown County offices that helped pay for the system include the commissioners, auditor, treasurer, clerk of courts, common pleas court, job and family services, soil and water, prosecutor, engineer, mental health, emergency management and developmental disabilities.

Heather Tapp processed vehicle titles and completed blank checks for certain car dealers. For one dealer, Tapp completed 86 checks with amounts higher than what was required. These checks, meant for payments of title fees and sales tax, included overpayments ranging from $4 to $366 and totaled $5,921. A finding for recovery was issued against Tapp in this amount in favor of the Brown County Clerk of Courts.â&#x20AC;? Gray said in March that that he made changes immediately after taking office that will prevent the same sort of activity from happening again. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We stopped accepting

blank checks from dealers as soon as this investigation began in June of last year. At this point, it is up to the dealers to ensure that they are submitting checks to us that are in the proper amount.â&#x20AC;?, Gray said. He added that a closer watch was also being kept on any payments that come into the Title Office. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are also separating tender type received, in other words if someone paid with a combination of cash and a check, we would mark down the whole amount. Now, if someone splits the way they pay, they are given two receipts that reflect both amounts of cash received by us.â&#x20AC;?

Support for OVAM still strong after 44 years

Wade LinvilleTHE BROWN COUNTY PRESS

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

tryman of Middletown, the OVAM Show marked his fourth show in the past six weeks. “It's been a busy month, but I enjoy it,” said Countryman. Countryman didn't know the exact age of his two Case steam operated tractors that were purchased from the auction of Ray Miller's museum in Elkhart, IN following Miller's death, but after a bit of research he has estimated them to date back to

around the 1950's. Countryman's son attended the auction with interest in purchasing a fire truck, but instead took home the set of steam operated tractors that his father and uncle, Cary Countryman, share with antique machinery show goers. Steve Countryman's grandson, Wyatt Downard, also attends the vintage shows to assist his grandfather with the steam engines. Downard is also known for giving youngsters a ride around the show grounds on one of the steam operated tractors.

“We like to see all of the youngsters have fun, so Wyatt puts them on the steam engine and rides them around,” said Steve Countryman. “I think Wyatt has as much fun as the kids do.” Also part of the OVAM Show attractions is the 1800's school house that was open for touring, and the blacksmith shop where show goers could witness smithies in action. “This year's show went very well, and we hope the support continues,” said Luschek.

11 dogs, 1 bird rescued by shelter in abuse/neglect case

E V E N

Provided/THE BROWN COUNTY PRESS

This dog is one of 11 which was removed from a Brown County home. The owners have surrendered the dogs to the Brown County Animal Shelter.

Darnall said none of the dogs was wearing license tags, which is an automatic $130 fine for each, totalling $1,430. The cost of the new license, at $24 each totals $264. “Those fines have to be paid before these people can get the dogs back,” Darnall said. “But in addition, cruelty to animals is a second

degree misdemeanor with a maximum fine of $750, each, that’s over $8,000. It’s also possible that a second degree misdemeanor with 12 counts, could lead to 90 days in jail, times the number of animals involved, that’s nearly three years. Plus the owners has to pay a $15 a day boarding fee for each of the 12 animals.”

Please Drive Carefully! Safe Driving Tips •Observe speed limits in school areas. •Slow up or stop at intersections to allow children to cross streets safely. •Be careful on car-lined streets. Children can suddenly appear from between parked cars. •Pass children on bikes carefully and slowly. •Obey crossing guards.

Earlier this year, Brown County Animal Shelter Dog Warden Mike Darnall began a campaign to crack down on Brown County residents who abuse or neglect their dogs. Last Friday, after seeing a situation on facebook regarding 11 dogs living in one room of a Brown County double-wide, Darnall and his staff took immediate action. “After seeing what I saw on facebook,” Darnall explained, “I immediately contacted Municipal Court Judge Joe Worley, and obtained a search warrant. It’s my understanding that this is the first search warrant given to a dog warden in 18 years. After obtaining the warrant, we went to the home but there was no one home, but we could hear all the dogs barking, and there was also a macaw bird in the home.” Darnall said he removed all the dogs from the home assisted by his staff of the three other wardens and volunteers. Acting as a Brown County Humane Society agent, he was able to also remove the bird. “Most of the dogs seem to be in fairly good health,” Darnall said. “But the filthy cages and the general living conditions were totally unacceptable for these dogs.”

Darnall added, “The owners, however, have been completely cooperative with us, and they seem to want what’s best for the dogs.” Darnall said his office isn’t out to get anyone, but he also wants Brown County residents to know that he and the other three dog warden’s are not messing around with dog abusers or people who neglect their dogs. “Our goal, our responsibility is to protect these dogs against abusers,” he said, “and that’s just what we’re doing. They can’t do it themselves, we have to protect them.” Judge Worley said that it’s his job to evaluate all the evidence presented to him on dog abuse or neglect cases. He said that when the evidence proves abuse, he has no problem taking action. Darnall added that he is very appreciative to the Brown County Sheriffs Office for their assistance in serving the warrant and helping remove the animals from the home. “The animal shelter has won its last two cruelty cases,” Darnall said, “and we have no plans on letting up on finding abuse in this county.” Darnall said that several of the dogs rescued have been placed with other rescue centers, and the rest could find new homes in the

School Is Back In Session!

Please Drive Carefully!

This message sponsored by The Clermont Sun and the following community-minded businesses:

Back-to-school party ideas * Include some educational games. Some students experience educational backsliding during summer vacation. That is why many schools have summer reading lists that educators feel promote lesson reinforcement for the coming school year. With this in mind, plan activities around concepts children learned in school. Think about math problem relay races, art projects, reading a story and reenacting it in a play form, or science experiments using solar energy. * Plan a trip to the school. First-time students may be anxious about what to expect during their first days of school. Having friends who are slightly older accompany younger kids to school to give a tour and show them the ropes make the experience less frightening. Afterward, meet at a pizzeria to enjoy some slices and soda.

Summer is almost over. What will your kids be doing this fall? At the Y, kids cultivate the values, skills and relationships that lead to positive behaviors, better health and educational achievement. To register your child for Before and After School programs, call (513) 724-9622 or visit MyY.org to learn more.

Is your child ready to . . .

Leadership you can count on!

Walk to school by himself? Where you live is as much a factor as your child's age and maturity. Learn the facts about safety in your neighborhood. Have there been traffic accidents or crimes you should worry about? Walk the route with your child at the times of day he would use it. Feel out the distance. If you decide he may be ready, do several practice runs together. Eventually let him walk ahead while you follow at a short distance. Then allow him to go the whole way solo. Do his homework without help? Ideally, your child will be able to do his homework on his own from the start of his schooling. You should be available to answer occasional questions, express pride, and offer encouragement. At every grade level, you may need to start the year by checking your childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work. After that, use your judgment about how diligent, organized, and conscientious your child is before giving up the routine checks.

Sheets: Decades of dedication to the girls in green Fayetteville coach reflects on 26 years at the helm BY Wade Linville The Brown County Press It has been just over 26 years since Toby Sheets took over as head coach of

the Fayetteville-Perry High School girls' basketball program, providing him with more than two-and-a-half decades of fond memories on and off the court. With

Wade Linville/THE BROWN COUNTY PRESS

Fayetteville-Perry High School varsity girls’ basketball coach, Toby Sheets, coaches from the sidelines during the 2013-14 basketball season.

12 sectional titles, three district titles, and two appearances in the regional finals, Sheets' success as a coach is undeniable. Two of the three district titles have come in the past two seasons. However, Sheets said he is not alone in his success as a coach, but also deserving credit are the members of the Fayetteville community and the Fayetteville-Perry School District. This past winter his Lady Rockets finished their basketball season with an impressive overall record of 26-1, suffering their only loss in the Division IV Regional finals to make school history. “Support is a big part of it,” said Sheets. “You need to have players who really put the time in to be successful, and it takes the support of parents, the booster club, and many others in the community. We have been fortunate to have very dedicated basketball players, and parents who will also put in the time and effort to

help their children reach their goals (as student/athletes). In recent years we have had players involved in AAU basketball during the offseason, but even before AAU we had great attendance at local summer camps. We have had many kids who wanted to be better players and were willing to put in the work to make themselves better.” All of his years of coaching have been within the Fayetteville-Perry School District, and this winter will mark the start of his 27th season as the head varsity girls' basketball coach for the Lady Rockets. In his 26 years of coaching varsity girls' basketball, Sheets has compiled a career record of 418 wins and 179 losses. Of the many student/athletes he has coached in high school, at least 18 have gone on to play basketball at the collegiate level, including his daughter, Shelby Sheets, who is now a senior hoop standout at Capital University. Sheets began his career at Fayetteville-Perry High

School during the 1988-89 school year, and he wasn't always the head of the high school girls' basketball program. Early in his career he coached cross country and was an assistant baseball coach under head coach

Dave Tatman. His wife, Sharon Sheets, has also been dedicated to coaching at Fayetteville, beginning as a cheer advisor and in recent years heading the very CONTINUED ON PAGE 19

Bronco wrestlers compete nationally Lucas becomes Western Brown High School’s first All-American BY Wade Linville The Brown County Press Three members of the Western Brown wrestling program competed for Team Ohio in the USA Cadet National Wrestling Freestyle/Greco-Roman Wrestling Tournament. The event was held at the University of North Dakota during the last week of July. All three wrestlers

competing for Western Brown had to qualify for this prestigious event through a grueling qualifying process. Team Ohio consist of the top freshmen and sophomores throughout the entire state. All three spent over a week at training camp at St. Edward's HS working out with some of the best wrestlers in the state and then competed in an event that

fielded over 1800 of the best wrestlers from around the country. Western Brown eighth grader, Eric Altman, qualified for his first trip in the 152-pound weight class. Despite going 0-2, he gained valuable experience as to what it will take to compete at the high school level this coming winter. Western Brown High School freshman, Brandon Lucas, became Western’s

first ever high school AllAmerican by placing fourth in the 100-pound weight class at the national championships.

More than 290 permits were available to hunters wishing to construct a blind to hunt ducks and geese on select Ohio State Park lakes this waterfowl hunting season. Lottery drawings were held on the morning of Saturday, Aug. 16, at 17 state parks that offer the duck blind permits, along with lotteries for 71 permits and the use of 75 duck blinds available on two state wildlife areas. Interested applicants must appear in person at a participating state park office with proof of a 2014 Ohio hunting license, state wetlands stamp endorsement in the applicant’s name, and a signed 2014 or 2013 federal duck stamp. Applicants under the age of 18 are encouraged to have a parent or legal guardian present to sign the permit contract, and must provide the required license and stamps. Participating state parks include Portage Lakes and

West Branch in northeast Ohio; East Harbor, Indian Lake and Lake Loramie in northwest Ohio; Buck Creek, Caesar Creek, Cowan Lake, East Fork, Hueston Woods, Rocky Fork and Shawnee in southwest Ohio; and Alum Creek, A.W. Marion, Buckeye Lake, Deer Creek, and Delaware in central Ohio. Applications will be taken beginning at 7:30 a.m. at most parks, with the lottery drawings at 8 a.m. at the park office, unless otherwise noted in the list.

Each hunter can apply for only one duck blind permit, and no one can apply or draw for another person. There is a $50 non-refundable permit fee for the state park lottery winners. Most locations accept cash, checks or credit cards for payment, except for Portage Lakes where payment is by cash (exact change) or check only. Lottery winners have 45 days to construct their blinds, and all blinds must be dismantled by March 15, 2015.

Waterfowl hunting opportunities are also available through lottery drawings at the Mercer Wildlife Area on Grand Lake St. Marys and the Mosquito Creek Wildlife Area adjacent to Mosquito Lake State Park. The drawings will be held at the respective wildlife area offices on Saturday, Aug. 16. There is no fee for permits at Mercer Wildlife Area or use of the blinds at Mosquito Creek Wildlife Area. Lottery participants must also have a current Harvest Information Program (HIP) certification. Information on waterfowl hunting seasons, locations and restrictions will be discussed by park staff and wildlife officers during the lotteries.

Finch excited to begin new season with the Rockets

Fayetteville-Perry head football coach, Kevin Finch, instructs his Rockets during practice on Aug. 13.

Fayetteville-Perry football squad ready for the Friday night lights BY Wade Linville The Brown County Press The Fayetteville-Perry Rockets are geared up for another season on the gridiron, and leading them on their quest for success is a new head coach. With the resignation of former head football coach, Nathan Geers, the Fayetteville-Perry Board of Education has approved Kevin Finch as the Rockets’ new head coach for the upcoming season. While this is Finch’s first job as a head football coach, he is no stranger in the world of coaching. Finch’s most recent coaching job was as the offensive coordinator for Franklin County in Indiana. He also has experience as an assistant football coach in Ohio at Kettering Fairmount and Goshen schools.

Finch brings a new style of play to the FayettevillePerry High School football program, and Rocket fans can expect some changes this year when they venture to the stadium to see their favorite high school football team take on rival Clermont Northeastern in the season opener in just a couple of weeks. Among the list of goals for the upcoming season is a playoff berth, which last year’s Rockets fell just shy of. “We definitely want to be the first football team from Fayetteville to make the (state) playoffs, but that isn’t our only goal,” said Finch. “The players have set their own goal of representing the community in the best way possible, and to make their community proud. I thought that was an excellent goal, and it says a

lot about this group of kids.” With the loss of key players to graduation, this year’s Rockets will rely heavily on some young talent. However, there will be some familiar names on the return for the Rockets this season such as Justin Hart, Tim Crone, Aaron Allessi, Logan Wilson, and Caleb Dowers. According to Finch, the preseason has gone well for his Rockets thus far, as they are finally getting in tune with the new coaching staff and their new style of play. “My system is new to them, so it will obviously take some time,” said Finch. “We are working on becoming a ‘no huddle’ team.” Backed by confidence and the desire to succeed, expect hard play out of the Rockets in their 2014 campaign. “It will be exciting. We’re looking forward to it,” Finch said of the upcoming season.

Ginseng: Ohio’s green gold Press release The Brown County Press

In order to protect American ginseng from being overharvested, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service decided that every state, within ginseng’s natural range, must create a ginseng management program. In Ohio, that program was created and is carried out by the Division of Wildlife. A season of ginseng harvesting, commonly called digging, is established and enforced similar to a game animal hunting season and runs from Sept. 1 to Dec. 31 of each year. A permit is not required to dig wild ginseng in Ohio, but a ginseng digger must have written permission from the landowner or designee to hunt and harvest on private and public lands. Digging ginseng is prohibited on state-owned lands and on national park property. The Wayne National Forest offers a permit to collect ginseng on their lands. Quick Facts Harvest on private property may only be done during the established harvest season. Plants must have at least three leaves (prongs) before they may be harvested. Collectors/diggers must keep accurate harvest records by county and collection date. Collectors/diggers must immediately plant the seeds

from collected plants at the place where the plants were collected. A Ginseng Dealer Permit from the Division of Wildlife is required to buy ginseng for resale or export. All ginseng must be certified by the Division of Wildlife before it is exported from Ohio. Certification documents must be kept with each lot of ginseng leaving the state. The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS) is charged with regulating ginseng through the Division of Scientific Authority and Division of Management Authority. For export permit applications and past Scientific Authority findings, visit the USFWS American Ginseng web page.

Buying Ginseng For anyone interested in buying ginseng for resale or export, a Ginseng Dealer Permit from the Division of Wildlife is required. The permit itself is free, but there are record keeping requirements. All ginseng dug in Ohio must be certified before it leaves the state of Ohio. Contact your nearest Division of Wildlife District Office to find out when and where to have ginseng certified. Note there is a certification fee of $3 per pound. Ginseng dealers may not buy dry, uncertified ginseng between April 1st and September 15th. You also may not buy or sell wild green

ginseng that was collected between April 1st and August 31st. When buying ginseng root, you must obtain the following information from the seller/digger: the seller’s name and address the dealer’s state registration permit number (if applicable) and ginseng certification number the weight of ginseng root collected by county the date of the transaction Ginseng dealers are also responsible for: Displaying educational materials provided by the Division of Wildlife. Showing proof of certification to any out-of-state purchaser. the weight of ginseng root collected by county Keeping accurate records of all ginseng sold and purchased. These records are open to inspection by authorized Division of Wildlife employees. Submitting for weighing all uncertified ginseng on hand as of March 31 to the Division of Wildlife and they will receive a receipt for it. A person may only possess ginseng from a state with a ginseng management program that has been approved by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Anyone interested in learning more about Ohio ginseng may call 1-800WILDLIFE (945-3543) for more information.

successful varsity girls' volleyball program at Fayetteville. During her volleyball coaching career, she got the opportunity to coach their youngest daughter, Sydney Sheets, who was a standout in volleyball during her high school career. For Toby Sheets, success as a coach not only comes in the form of wins on the court, but also in providing student/athletes with the tools necessary to succeed as they take the next steps in their lives. The 2013-14 winter season saw Sheets record his 400th career victory an d senior Makayla Rosselot break the Fayetteville-Perry all-time scoring record. There's no doubt that the tight bonds formed between teammates can last a lifetime. Courtney Overstreet, one of his former players, is now a physician's assistant being shadowed by Shelby Sheets and lives in Grove City. Courtney Adams, another one of his former players, is living in Overstreet's basement while studying law. “Sports in general teaches kids about life,” said Toby Sheets. “Not only does it teach them to work

hard to reach their goals in life, but it teaches them to not be overwhelmed by winning or losing. I definitely believe, as a coach, that I have helped my players succeed on and off the court, but I'm not alone. A lot of my players have come from great families that guide them in the right direction.” Toby According to Sheets, every year of coaching brings come great memories, and one of his fondest memories on the court was when his crew of Lady Rockets managed to defeat the powerhouse Eastern Lady Warriors headed by coaching legend Richard Kiser during the 2007-08 season, when Shelby Sheets was a freshmen playing varsity with other talented players such as Erica Iles, Lindsay Tussey, and Courtney Adams. The game took place on Dec. 13 of 2007, a regular season match-up between the Lady Warriors and the Lady Rockets. “That's a game that will always stand out for me,” said Toby Sheets. “Eastern was looked at as unbeatable in our league, and we ended up knocking them off 4644.” Toby Sheets and his Lady Rockets made history in his first season as head of the

varsity girls' basketball program during the 1988-89 school year. The 1988-89 Lady Rockets started out their regular season by losing as many games as they won, but would end their season on a post-season run that brought the Fayetteville-Perry School District its first ever sectional title. Toby Sheets and his Lady Rockets went on to claim eight sectional titles during the 1990's, and in his 26 years of coaching his teams have won a total of 12 Southern Hills Athletic C onference (formerly the Southern Hills League) Division II titles. For Sheets, coaching is a love that will never die and a chance to make a difference in the lives of those he coaches. His commitment to his players, the Fayetteville community, and the varsity basketball program sets an excellent example for less experienced coaches who wish to one day find such success. For Toby Sheets, every year presen ts a new set of challenges, but his goals are always the same...to instill in his players the solid work ethic and commitment that has aided him in his quest for success as a long-time coach and educator.

G-Men prepare for season kick-off

BY Wade Linville The Brown County Press

A new season of high school soccer is set to begin, and the Georgetown G-Men have been working hard daily in preparation for the upcoming season.

Last week, the G-Men played host to the St. Patrick Saints of Kentucky for a preseason scrimmage. The Saints climbed to a 4-0 lead over the G-Men and would come away with a 4-1 victory. The G-Men’s only goal

came from freshman Logan Doss with 15:36 to go in the match. The G-Men are scheduled to officially begin their season Aug. 23 with a road game against the Blanchester Wildcats.

OHSAA member schools pass 14 proposed Constitution and Bylaw revisions Press release The Brown County Press Ohio High School Athletic Association member schools passed 14 proposed Constitution and Bylaw revisions, Commissioner Daniel B. Ross, Ph.D., announced the following ballot counting. One item, regarding a proposed Constitution revision that would make it mandatory for schools to return a ballot, is a virtual tie and will be recounted next week. The OHSAA’s annual referendum voting period was from May 1-15, with approved items going into effect Aug. 1 unless otherwise noted. After a total of 820 ballots were mailed in late April, 737 were returned for a voter turnout of 90 percent. Only 83 member schools did not return a ballot. Highlighting the referendum voting was approval of a Competitive Balance Plan that makes modifications on

how schools are placed in tournament divisions in team sports. The plan, approved by the membership after three similar proposals were narrowly defeated between 2011 and 2013, passed 411 votes to 323 votes (56 percent to 44 percent, with three ballots abstaining). It will become effective during the 201617 school year. “On behalf of the Board of Directors and Competitive Balance Committee, I want to thank the membership for having the confidence in this plan and voting to move forward with implementation,” Ross said. “While passing the plan was a major step and truly exciting, our work is just beginning since the Competitive Balance Committee will continue to clarify any unanswered questions and our staff will put all the wheels in motion to finalize the electronic roster collection system. “As we’ve said before, this plan is similar to last

year’s, but this version is the result of a compilation of input from our superintendents, principals, athletic administrators and coaches. I’m most proud that we were able to work together and come up with a solution that will create a better system than we currently have because it looks at how schools secure the enrollment of their students participating in interscholastic athletics.” In addition to the size of a school’s enrollment, the Completive Balance Plan will have new modifying factors that will be applied to students on each roster on a sport by sport basis and are based on where the student’s parents reside and/or the educational system history of the student. All schools will be subject to the factors of the formula, which will be applied to students in the sports of football, soccer and volleyball in the fall, basketball in the winter and baseball and softball in the spring.

Free lunch for all RULH students MOE ready and

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

It is hard to believe that August is here again and it is time to go back to school. Summer has certainly flown by! However, the last few days are here, with Open House at all three buildings, and the first day of school close behind on Tuesday, August 19. We have made an adjustment to our start time this year, with all buildings beginning school five minutes earlier at 8 a.m. Bus routes will be adjusted accordingly. Also new this year, all RULH Schools will be providing all students a free lunch through participation in the Community Eligibility Program, also known as (CEP). This is a federal program through USDA that provides funding for ALL students to receive a free lunch. Combined with the universal breakfast program that we have participated in for several years, all students at all buildings will

have access to both breakfast and lunch at no cost. This is great news for our students as meal and a la carte prices did increase over the summer. Students who want a second meal, or wish to purchase a la carte items will pay regular price. We would like to welcome several new faces to RULH. First, welcome to Mr. Bill Frazier, our new transportation supervisor. At the High School, we would like to welcome Mr. Aaron Flannery, Guidance Counselor, Mr. Tim Brown, 512 band teacher, and Ms. Emily Godby, math teacher. At the Middle School, we would like to welcome Ms. Lindsey Oxley, 8th grade English/Language Arts, Mrs. Bethany Carrington, 7th grade math, and Ms. Amanda Beetem, Intervention Specialist. At the Elementary School, we would like to welcome Lisa Imbus, Intervention Specialist. You will also find several staff members in new places: Mrs. Jackie Schussler and Mrs. Marsha Fitzwater

switched buildings as Intervention Specialists due to programming changes. Mrs. Vicky Asbury moved from technology at the Middle School to 7th grade English/Language Arts. There are also several positions that have been eliminated across the district. Although the district did not enact a RIF, or Reduction in Force, for any staff members, each resignation that has been submitted has been reviewed carefully as to whether the position needs filled, or if we could manage the schedule and meet students’ educational requirements without the position. Several positions have been eliminated in this process, saving the district thousands of dollars. Finally, during July the Board of Education approved the resolutions necessary to place the 2.6 mill levy for a period of five years on the ballot again on November 4, 2014. This decision was not easy as this is the third time the levy will be brought before voters;

however, the feeling of the board was that the district is at a crossroads and the money generated by this levy is needed for several key improvements. The levy is for permanent improvements, i.e., equipment or upgrades that will last for more than 5 years. Money from the levy would be used to replace buses, some of which are 17 years old, and make improvements at the High School, for example repairing the front parking lot and HVAC system. In addition, levy dollars would go to update our computers and technology infrastructure. I urge all voters to be informed about the levy as they prepare to cast their vote in November. Either Mr. Rowley, district treasurer, or myself, would be happy to answer any questions you might have about the levy. We can be reached by calling the District Office at (937) 392-4396. As always, if you have any questions about the information in the newsletter, please contact me at (937) 392-4396.

Fayetteville-Perry Schools to open

The Fayetteville-Perry School District will open for the student’s first day of school on Wednesday, August 20, 2014. The school day for High School and Middle School students is from 7:50 a.m. to 2:50 p.m., and for Elementary students from 7:45 a.m. to 2:45 p.m. Anyone that is new and living in the district and has

not yet enrolled their child can enroll them in the appropriate building before the first day of school. Office hours to enroll students are from 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day. Building open houses are scheduled for Monday, August 18, 2014. The Elementary Open House is from 6-7:30 p.m. at the Elementary Building and the

High School/Middle School Open House is from 7-8:30 p.m. All students and parents can meet the staff and High School and Middle School students can also pick up schedules and get their locker assignment on this open house night. The Fayetteville-Perry School Board and Staff would like to welcome all

Fayetteville-Perry Local Schools today announced its 2014-15 program year policy for free and reduced-price meals for students unable to pay the full price of meals or milk served under the National School Lunch and School Breakfast, After School Care Snack or Special Milk Program. Each school office and the central office has a copy of the policy, which may be reviewed by any interested party. The Federal Income Eligibility Guidelines will be used for determining eligibility. Children from families whose annual income is at or below the Federal Guidelines are eligible for free and reduced price meals or free milk if the school participates in the Special Milk Program. Application forms are being distributed to all homes in a letter to parents or guardians. To apply for free and reduced-price benefits, households should fill out the application and return it to the school. Additional copies are available at the principal’s office in each school. A complete application is required. Households which currently receive Special Nutrition Assistance Program Benefits (SNAP, formally known as food stamps) or Ohio Works First (OWF) funds for a child must provide the child’s name, the SNAP or OWF case number and signature of an adult household member on the application. Households which do not receive SNAP or OWF funds must provide the names of all household members, the last four digits of the Social Security Number of the adult signing the application or state “none” if the adult does not have a Social Security Number, the amount and source of income received by each household member, (state the monthly income) and the signature of an adult household member. If any of this information is missing, the school cannot process the application. FREE HEALTH CARE: Families with children eligible for school meals may be eligible for FREE health care coverage through Medicaid and/or Ohio’s Healthy Start & Healthy Families programs. These programs include coverage for doctor visits, immunizations, physicals, prescriptions, dental, vision, mental health, substance abuse and more. Please call 1800-324-8680 for more information or to request an application. Information can also be found on the web at

http://jfs.ohio.gov/ohp/consumers/familychild.stm. Anyone who has an Ohio Medicaid card is already receiving these services. The information provided on the application is confidential and will be used only for the purpose of determining eligibility and may be verified at any time during the school year by school or other program official. To discourage the possibility of misrepresentation, the application forms contain a statement above the space for signature certifying that all information furnished is true and correct. Applications are being made in connection with the receipt of federal funds. Schools or other officials may check the information on the application at any time during the school year. Deliberate misrepresentation of information may subject the applicant to prosecution under applicable state and federal laws. Households will be notified of the approval or denial of benefits. Foster children are categorically eligible for free meal benefits regardless of the household’s income. If a family has foster children living with them and wishes to apply for such meals or milk for them, contact the school for more information. Under the provision of the policy, Cindy Phillips, Food Service Supervisor, will review applications and determine eligibility. If a parent or guardian disagrees with the decision on the application or the result of verification, the decision may be discussed with the determining official

on an informal basis. If a formal appeal is desired, the household has the right to a fair hearing. A fair hearing can be requested either orally or in writing from: Reagan White 551 S. Apple St. Fayetteville, Ohio 45118, 513-875-2423. The policy contains an outline of the hearing procedure. Households may apply for benefits any time during the school year. If a household is not currently eligible and if the household size increases or income decreases because of unemployment or other reasons, the family should contact the school to file a new application. Such changes may make the children of the family eligible for free or reduced-price benefits if the family income falls at or below the levels shown above.

students and parents to another exciting school year!

waiting for you BY Debra Bernhardt Assistant Principal Mt. Orab Elementary

Welcome to School! Everyone here at Mt. Orab Elementary is very excited to begin a new school year. You may wonder what happens around the school over the summer break. Here is just a sample of the hard work that prepares the building for the new school year. Our dedicated office staff has spent many hours over the summer making sure that the necessary materials are ready to go on that very first day of school. We have also enrolled many new students to our M.O.E. family! Our hardworking custodians have transformed our building and made it a clean and safe place for students to learn and play. I think you will agree that they did a tremendous job – the building looks great! Our friendly food service staff has made the nec-

essary preparations to be ready to serve breakfast and lunch to our students. They are always ready with a smile for our students! Our caring school nurse has been busy preparing the clinic and sharing student and staff health and wellness plans. Our talented teachers, aides, and staff have also spent many hours over the summer preparing for your children. Our classrooms are inviting places for children to learn and grow due to the planning and collaboration among our staff. As you can see, Mt. Orab Elementary is a busy place, even in the summertime as we await the arrival of our students! I am very excited about the opportunities and adventures that students will experience this school year. I want to thank everyone at school and at home for the positive efforts that are being made to help each child be successful everyday!

Truth Seekers go on fishing outing

Hailey Gregory, Mt. Orab Truth Seekers News Reporter/THE BROWN COUNTY PRESS

The Truth Seekers had an outing at Lake Isabella in Loveland, OH. The group that went learned a lot about the fish, the history of the lake and when the best time to fish is. Which is when its cool outside, because when its hot all the fish go to the bottom of the lake where its cooler. We got a chance to fish but sadly no one caught anything. We still all had a very fun time.

From the classic delight of “The Importance of Being Earnest” to the angst-ridden humor of “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee,” SSCC Theatre’s 201415 season covers the range from comedy to tragedy with a few stops in between. Season tickets are now on sale via www.sscc theatre.com at a cost of $20 for all three shows, a savings of up to $16. All productions by SSCC Theatre are performed in the Edward K. Daniels Auditorium on Southern State Community College’s Central Campus, 100 Hobart Drive, Hillsboro. This year’s lineup includes:

“The Importance of Being Earnest,” by Oscar Wilde— Oscar Wilde’s classic is a delight from the first cucumber sandwich on as Jack’s double life catches up with him. The problems are resolved in an extremely charming and quite unexpected way as Jack and Algernon discover the importance of being earnest while answering to the name of Ernest. “The Importance of Being Earnest” opens the season Nov. 7-9, 2014. “August: Osage County,” by Tracy Letts—A vanished father. A pill-popping mother. Three sisters harboring shady little secrets. When the large Weston family unexpectedly

* A monthly fire training was held in July at the fairgrounds in Georgetown, all departments are encouraged to attend. In at-

tendance for July's training, " Tanker Shuttle/Water Supply, " was Fayetteville, Georgetown, and Higginsport.

SSCC Theatre season tickets now available reunites after Dad disappears, their Oklahoman family homestead explodes in a maelstrom of repressed truths and unsettling secrets. Mix in Violet, the drugged-up, scathingly acidic matriarch, and you’ve got a major new play that unflinchingly—and uproariously—exposes the dark side of the Midwestern American family. “August: Osage County” runs March 27-29, 2015. “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee,” music and lyrics by William Finn, book by Rachel Sheinkin— An eclectic group of six midpubescents vie for the spelling championship of a lifetime.

While candidly disclosing hilarious and touching stories from their home life, the tweens spell their way through a series of [potentially made-up] words hoping to never hear the soul crushing, pout inducing, life un-affirming “ding” of the bell that signals a spelling mistake. Six spellers enter; one speller leaves! At least the losers get a juice box. “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee” closes the season July 24-26, 2015.
