County,Mt.Orabfightdrugs

BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press

Since the beginning of March, the Brown County Sheriff’s Office and the Mt. Orab Police Department have been working together to fight drugs. Both agencies have committed a full time officer to a joint drug task force, and the results are starting to pay off. In six months, over one hundred people have been arrested with an average of three charges each being filed against them. A dozen cars have been seized, along with cash and other property. Burglary and theft cases in the area have also plunged because many of the same people committing those crimes are the ones who are buying or selling

drugs. Brown County Sheriff’s Office Chief Deputy John Schadle and Mt. Orab Police Chief Bryan Mount recently sat down with The Brown County Press to discuss the success of the task force. Schadle began by talking about how the task force is doing things differently instead of both agencies operating independently of each other. “We’re not just buying a small bag of weed on the corner, we’re going to the guy that’s bringing it in ten pounds at a time and distributing it throughout the county. With the way we’re working with Mt. Orab, we’re able to move beyond the street level buys and move up into the nuts and bolts of the drug trafficking.”, Schadle said. “We’ve

been able to take more time and work those cases as conspiracies and make more arrests and have more of an impact. We’re taking ten or twelve people off the street instead of one or two.” Mount said the process often begins with a simple traffic stop. “We pull a guy over and find half a gram of heroin. He doesn’t want to go to prison, so we connect him with Johnny. Johnny tells him that if he does ten drug buys, the heroin possession charge becomes a misdemeanor so he won’t go to jail. So he does the buys and we eventually pick up the dealers. The dealers have no idea which of the people they’ve sold in the past month or so was working for us.” CONTINUED ON PAGE 10

Former Brown County Auditor employee Geoffrey “Geo” Sharp pleaded guilty to First degree misdemeanor Theft charges in Brown County Municipal Court on August 16. Sharp was sentenced to six months in jail, with the entire six months suspended. He was also ordered to pay restitution of $192.00 to Brown County, pay a $100 fine and perform eighty hours of community service.

He will also be on probation for one year. The charge was filed by an investigator from the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Identification, following a six month investigation. The Probable Cause Affidavit filed against Sharp on August 1 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.

The unemployment rate for July was down in Brown County and across the entire region. The jobless rate in Brown County fell to 7.9 percent in July from 8.7 percent in June. The 7.9 percent rate for July of 2013 is the lowest Unemployment rate for July in Brown County since the 2008 rate of 7.6 percent. In Adams County, the rate dropped .7 percent to

10.5 percent, in Clermont County, the rate dropped .4 percent to 6.8 percent, in Clinton County, the rate dropped .3 percent to 9.9 percent and in Highland County, the rate dropped .3 percent to 9.6 percent. The number of individuals listed as employed in Brown County did not actually increase. That number has remained flat at 19,800 for the past three months. The unemployment percentage improved from June to July because the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services removed two hundred people from the Civilian Labor Force, or those who are listed as looking for work. That number dropped from 21,700 in June to 21,500 in July.

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 county and not performing his assigned duties, as well as gasoline and wear and tear on the county vehicle he was driving. Sharp resigned from the auditor’s office in February and a special prosecutor from Hamilton County was assigned to the case.

Most villages and townships in Brown County will be getting a check after Brown County Auditor Jill Hall found some undistributed funds dating back to 2005. The money came from the Homestead property tax rollback for Manufactured Homes. It is distributed annually by the Auditor of State. The total coming back to local townships and villages totals up to $248,764.86. According to the Ohio Department of Taxation’s

webpage, “The homestead exemption provides a reduction in property taxes to any senior of disabled citizen, regardless of income, on the dwelling that is the individuals place of residence and up to one acre of land of which an eligible individual is an owner. The reduction is equal to the taxes that would otherwise be charged on up to $25,000 of the market value of an eligible taxpayer’s homestead.” More information can be found at www.ohio.tax.gov.

The Basil Green Memorial Gospel Concert will be held Saturday, August 31 from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. at Mt. Orab Park, 221 South High Street (US 68). This date was rescheduled from July 6. This memorial concert is free to everyone and through the years has grown to be one of the biggest gospel music concerts in the area. Basil and Betty Green raised a large family in Brown County and they had a deep love of singing. With the help and encouragement of Marilyn Hawk, a music teacher in the Mt. Orab school system, Basil organized and sponsored an old-fashioned singing school in 1965 held at Union Plains Church in Greenbush. The singing school was only the beginning for the Green Family children, which included wellknown local vocalist, Doug Green, now an Ohio State Representative. The Green Family Children began singing in various groups, quartets and trios. Basil’s love of gospel music also lead him to promote gospel concerts in the area featuring many wellknown groups including The Blackwood Brothers Quartet, The Blue Ridge Quartet, The Rebels Quartet, The Hemphills and many others.

The Western Brown Board of Education made some major decisions during its August 19 meeting, including approving a contract with Wellington Orthopedics and reversing a January 2013 decision to cut non-union employees pay by 15%. Immediately following approval of the July financials and July investments, members of the board listened as JoAnn Graham, a substitute teacher at Western Brown read a statement to the board regarding the 15% pay cuts in the district. Graham apologized for having to read her statement and thanked the board for allowing her to speak. “I have been a substitute teacher at Western Brown School District for the past 6 years,” Graham began reading, “I love my job. But the board has made a decision that effects me personally, as well as many of my co-workers at Western Brown. My specific concern is about the arbitrary and unannounced pay cuts for all substitute employees at Western Brown Schools.” Graham went on to explain why she had said it was unannounced was because she has not received any information from the school about the cuts. She said she learned about the cuts from a co-worker this month. “I called the office to verify the information,” she continued, “and according to the treasurer, Denny Dunlap, the former superintendent Chris Burrows, recommended the cuts after comparing neighboring districts. He was trying to save the district money.” According to Dunlap, the district was facing some very difficult finan-

cial times and Mr. Burrows was trying to help save the district some money by making the cuts. Other cuts were also made at that time. Graham told the board that as a substitute teacher she performs the exact same job as a teacher and assumes the same responsibility, but the 15% pay cut amounts to over $1,200 a year, which was very hard on her. She added that she may have to find a second job to supplement her in-

come. Following Graham’s statement and a two hour executive session by the board to discuss the issue, the board closely reviewed the effects of the 15% cut and made the following changes. Before the 15% cut, bus drivers were being paid $15.24 an hour. They were cut to $13 an hour in January, but following the executive session the amount was moved up to $14.50 an hour.

For all substitute teachers, their pay scale went from $107 a day down to $91 a day with the 15% cut. The board changed that figure to $95 a day but added a clause that after a teacher has served 10 days as a sub, the amount jumps to $110 a day. In other business at the meeting, the board recognized nine teachers and custodians who retired from the district presenting them with a gift and heartfelt appreciation. Between the nine employees, they represented over 237 years of service and experience. Those teachers and custodians recognized included: • Corinne Burns (36 years) 2nd grade teacher; • Richard (Rick) Cohorn (25 years) bus driver; • Ralph Egbert (17 years) bus driver; • Dusty Gray (38 years) assistant principal; • Mary Hartman (23 years) 6th grade teacher; • Christopher Hillard (13 years) science teacher; • Danny Peterson (28 years) custodian; • Jacob Sentman (26

checks: • employed Vanessa Bishop as a sub teacher; • approved the revised 2013-2014 school year calendar; • approved trip for 8th grade students to Washington DC. According to Dunlap, bus routes are currently being studied and at least two of the four bus routes that were eliminated could be put back in service. The next meeting of the Western Brown Local School District Board of Education will be held at 7 p.m. on September 16.

How Washington is impeding the economic recovery

For the last several weeks, the President has been talking about his intention to once again pivot to focus on the issue that has plagued his administration — how to create more jobs for unemployed Americans. The jobs reports over the last few months have been indicative of how his previous attempts to solve the problem of unemployment have failed. Take the July jobs report. That report showed that 195,000 net jobs were

SENATOR ROB PORTMAN created in June. Typically, 195,000 jobs per month would be healthy: It would roughly match the number of jobs needed to absorb the growth of the workingage population. But with millions of Americans still out of a job, we have to do more than simply keep up.

Looking behind the numbers explains why the report was so disappointing. First, while 195,000 net jobs were created in June, the number of Americans working part-time jumped by 432,000, which means the number of Americans working full-time actually fell. Much of this shift is a predictable result of Obamacare, which inadvertently encourages employers to shift their employees to part-time work in order to avoid expensive

new health-care mandates. Investor’s Business Daily recently reported that retailers have begun cutting employee hours at a rate not seen in three decades. They call it “a sudden shift that can only be explained by the onset of Obamacare’s employer mandates.” Cutting worker hours will not show up in the unemployment rate, yet it represents another barrier for families struggling to make ends meet.

Adams-Brown WIC celebrates Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor, This year’s Breastfeeding Awareness Month (BAM)’s theme is “Breastfeeding Support: Close to Mothers” and the motto “Breastfeeding Support…It Takes a Village” is being celebrated throughout all of Ohio WIC projects. Special spotlight this year is focused on the WIC peer helpers and celebrates their critical role in providing support for mothers who choose to breastfeed thereby providing the very best start for their infants. 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 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 “the village” working together and more mothers being willing to give breastfeeding a try with a strong support network.

Please call your local WIC clinic for more information. In Adams County, call 937-544-3796 and in Brown County, call 937378-6030.

Frustrated by the increasing inability of Washington to responsibly manage the nation’s finances, today Ohio Gov. John R. Kasich called on states to lead the effort to enact a balanced budget amendment to the U.S. Constitution. He also called for the Ohio General Assembly to help jump start the effort by passing a resolution calling for a constitutional convention that would approve a balanced budget amendment. Kasich issued the following statement: “We balance our budget in Ohio every year as does almost every other state in the nation. It’s not always easy and some states do it better than others, but in Ohio we get it done because it’s the right way to manage taxpayers’ money and it helps create a jobsfriendly climate. The federal government just doesn’t get it and its inability to manage the American taxpayers’ money is inexcusable. In the last 50 years, the federal government has only had five balanced budgets and it currently has $16.7 trillion in debt. That’s not the way the greatest country in the world should manage its af-

GOVERNOR JOHN KASICH fairs and it’s time for some discipline. The states set a better example of fiscal responsibility and the states should call for a constitutional convention where a balanced budget amendment can be approved and sent to the states for ratification. Hopefully, however, Congress will pass an amendment itself before it gets that far. In the meantime, I’m going to work with the General Assembly to put Ohio behind this effort. Our nation’s future stability requires it and the American people deserve it.” It takes 34 states to call for a convention to be held and 38 states to ratify a constitutional amendment. Approximately 20 states have resolutions outstanding calling for constitutional conventions for the purpose of enacting a balanced budget amendment. The Ohio General Assembly has considered similar resolutions several times in the past, including a resolution introduced by then-state Senator Kasich in 1981, but they have never been approved. While a member of Congress, Kasich supported a federal balanced budget CONTINUED ON PAGE 14

Fayetteville-Perry Local School District Superintendent Raegan White reported to members of the board of education on August 15, that there will be major changes at the school regarding home schooled and private school students. White told the board that home schooled and private school students would be given the opportunity to participate in any extracurricular activity offered at Fayetteville-Perry schools. “If a home schooled student choices to participate in any of our extra-curricular actives within their district,” White began, “we have to allow them that right. They cannot participate at any other district other than the one they live in.” White said this rule was new this year and was in-

cluded in the recent budget bill HB 59, even though it had nothing to do with the budget. He said it would be up to the school to decide if the student met all the requirements to participate, including the credit

requirements. During the superintendent’s report, he also told the board that he had attended a Brown County Superintendent’s meeting which included a legal update on HB 59 which is the state budget bill.

He said there had been some changes to HB 59 regarding the JVS governance. “This state budget bill, HB 59,” White began, “included a few things that were added in that were not necessarily budget related. “It was signed on June 30, with the finance provisions effective immediately on July 1 and the other provisions are effective September 28.” White went on to discuss the new requirements for vocational school boards which will serve three-year terms with no more than two consecutive terms. He briefly talked about other changes including a mandatory criteria for board member selection. After paying the bills, board president Angela Murphy asked for approval of the investment and financial report. The board approved. Treasurer JoAnna Carra-

Fayetteville Council anticipates ODOT visit regarding cistern in village The Fayetteville Village Council met in regular session on August 14 and wasted no time paying the bills and reviewing its finances with village clerk Barbara Kiley. Kiley told the board that although things financially in the village are a little tight right now, the village is doing okay. She told council she is monitoring revenues closely and will keep them informed. Councilman Frank South was absent from the meeting. Council spoke briefly about the upcoming election in November. Four members of Fayetteville’s council will be running this year for re-election including Joe Huber, Tina Houk, Frank South and Harriett Kleemeyer. Also running for the four seats are James Thery, Sr., Robert Williams and Jamie Aubry. In other business at the meeting, council heard from Councilman Jim McMullen of the street committee. He told council that the line painting was complete in the village and tree limbs along the alley’s had been removed. He also

said that the state came a few weeks ago and painted the lines in front of the school on US 68. He said that this was the first time they had ever done that. Councilman Joe Huber told council that ODOT (Ohio Department of Transportation) would soon begin replacing culverts on US 68 had been back to the village inspecting the state of the old cisterns buried under the village. Mayor Bernie Vilvens explained to council that ODOT planned on hiring an engineering company to take a look at the cisterns to study how water travels from one cistern to the next. “They want to fill-in the cisterns in the center of town, but they want to make sure, before they do that, that it’s not going to interfere with our drainage systems,” Mayor Vilvens stated. “They said they would call us in the next few weeks and set something up. We need to keep an eye on all that.” Councilman Ed Coleman with the parks committee reported to council that football teams had officially moved in at the park.

“We were able to get some picnic tables painted,” Coleman said, “and do some other improvements at the park.” Mayor Vilvens interjected that a post hole digger was going to be rented and at least 18 new posts would be set at the park. He said those changes will make the park look much nicer. Vilvens also said that more signs had been erected in the park which inform the public about park rules. Council spent more than 40 minutes discussing two local residents who had ongoing disagreements with each other regarding their neighboring properties. Recommendations were made to close down the sidewalk in front of the two houses, cite both residents and force them into court, set up a special meeting with the magistrate and both residents, invite them to a council meeting to discuss the problem and inform them that the issue must be resolved and tell them that zoning laws in the village are going to be redefined and enforced more diligently in the future.

the feuding between the two residents has got to stop and the two men have to stop calling the police department daily, over issues they should resolve themselves. In other business, Chief Carson told council that his department was in dire need of a new cruiser. He added that the department has only purchased one new vehicle since 1993. He told council that he was looking into applying for several grants that could help with the purchase. The cost would be between $25,000 and $30,000 fully equipped.

Then later on we’ll have another item we can use those funds for with the purchase of key cards which are also for school safety.” The board approved a contract with Comp Management for the district which negotiates all thirdparty administrator for worker’s compensation cases.

Mt. Orab Ford Employee Salute!

KATHERINE GENTRY Gabbard's Mt Orab Ford's Katherine Gentry has been a tremendous asset over many years. Katherine is our assistant Office Manager and bookkeeper. Her duties are too numerous to mention, she does it all. In 1986 a relative of hers called us checking on whether we needed a Mechanical Technician or Lot Tech. We did not need anybody for those positions at the time. However, we were searching for a bookkeeper. That relative mentioned it to her. Katherine had previous office experience and was at home taking care of the youngest of her four daughters. She thought about it and gave us a call. We were very fortunate that she did. Katherine was the perfect person for our office. We thank her for her hard work, great attitude, loyalty, and dependability. When you need to know how to do something, the answer is easy, see Katherine. It has been our pleasure and honor to have someone as competent, loyal, and trustworthy as Katherine Gentry.

Who Is There?

In Matthew 5:1-12 we read what we like to call the Beatitudes. Normally we stop at the end of the Beatitudes instead of going on with the rest of the chapter because the rest of the chapter deals with the whole body being cast into hell. He’s not talking about the soul going to hell; he’s talking about the body going to hell. Jesus said in verses 29-30: “And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for this is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.” People do not think about their bodies going to hell. Jesus said: “And fear them not which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destory both soul and body in hell.” Matthew 10:28) In Revelation 20:11-14 it tells us: “And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.” Now there has already been one death. But now the resurrection comes of everyone that is unsaved and saved. This is the judgment of the “unsaved” people. Every one that has been buried anywhere, in any grave, is going to come back. It doesn’t matter where they were buried or even if they were cremated. They will come back in a great resurrection in the last day. Those people will stand before God in a resurrected body and there they will hear their name called out. There they will see the books opened. There they will hear the sentence: “...Depart from me, ye cursed, into ever-

lasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels”. (Matthew 25:41) That is why Jesus said that if thy eye offend thee pluck it out for it is better to lose a member then to have your whole body cast into hell. Some people mockingly say: “I will go to hell and shovel coal with my friends.” It’s no joke ladies and gentlemen. This is very serious business that Jesus is talking about. Jesus said: “Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time...” (Verse 21) What had happened is that the rabbis had told them their versions of the scriptures. Jesus told them that they had heard all those versions of the Old Testament law and prophets but now He was going to give His account of the Old Testament in His own words and He did. And he told them that their whole body was going to hell if they were in violation of these hold laws. There isn’t anyone reading this, or anyone anywhere, that can honestly say they have kept every law of the Old Testament perfectly. We love the beatitudes. We love to read blessed are the pure in heart, but we are not altogether pure in heart. In fact the Bible tells us: “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?” (Jeremiah 17:9) Who qualifies to say: I have kept this fifth chapter of Matthew? Jesus summed up the whole law in two verses: “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all your heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.” And “...Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.” He said: “On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.” (Matthew 22: 37; 39; 40) The only one who has kept all the law perfectly is Jesus Christ. That is why He could die on the cross for our sins. To go to heaven all you have to do is repent and accept His free gift of salvation.

Mercy Health Mobile Mammography announces upcoming screening dates set

Eastgate, Mercy Health – Eastgate Family Medicine, 4421 Eastgate Blvd., Ohio 45245, September 10,

The American Cancer Society recommends that women have a mammogram every year starting at age 40. Screening mammograms are usually a covered benefit with most insurance carriers. Expert radiologists read all mammograms and because a second look can mean a second chance, we double-check all mammograms with the R2 ImageChecker, a computer-aided detection system that detects 23.4 percent more breast cancer than mammography alone. Both the patient and her physician receive a copy of the results.

County, Mt. Orab fight drugs with task force

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

Both men said that the entire process turns on getting good information in a timely manner. “As the officers of the Mt. Orab Police Department get information, they put it in an intelligence report and pass it on to the drug task force. They can then use that information to make an arrest or aid in an investigation.”, Mount said. Mount and Schadle have instructed all of those working for them to keep the drug task force in mind when they are gathering facts in the field. Schadle added that the effect isn’t just being felt locally. “With those two guys working full time, we’ve been able to spend more time exchanging information with other agencies like the Clermont County Sheriff’s office or the DEA, and that helps us and them find and take down the bigger dealers further up the food chain.”, he said. Both men pointed to a recent meth lab bust as a recent success story. Schadle said, “We busted a dozen people at multiple locations that were involved in cooking meth a couple of months ago, and I think all but one of them has already been sentenced.” Mount said it was a textbook case of communication paying off.

“That was a case where both of us had separate pieces of information that we were able to put together for a search warrant that opened up that whole thing.” Mount said another case of sharing information led to the bust of a local marijuana growing operation that was supplying marijuana to local young people. The increased level of cooperation between the agencies is showing other dividends as well, according to Mount. “We had an armed robbery in the village recently. Within four hours we had a deputy stop by and talk with one of our officers. The deputy said that he knew where the suspect was in Georgetown, made a phone call and had him picked up and they brought him up here to us. Had we not communicated, we would have had a much harder time tracking that suspect down.” Schadle said that he still hears from people who provide tips today and want to see results the next day. He said that proper investigations usually don’t work that way. “Just because they haven’t seen something happen right away doesn’t mean we aren’t actively pursuing that lead. Building a good case that will stand up in court takes time.

We have to make sure we do it right.” Schadle also said that while other villages in Brown County were not formal members of the drug task force, he welcomed their participation in the communication process. “We’re more than willing to cooperate and share information with them. If Ripley or Georgetown stops a car and the driver is involved in drugs somehow and wants to talk, we would love to have them call us and let us know. The more intelligence you can gather, the more effectively you can fight the drug and crime problem.”, he said. Schadle added that anyone with information about drug trafficking or other crimes can call the Brown County Sheriff’s Office at (937) 378-4435. “We are a phone call away. They can call us and remain anonymous, and you never know what tiny little piece of information is going to break a case wide open.” Mount said that the Mt. Orab Police Department was setting up a tip line as well, and it would be operational shortly. He also had a final message for those still involved in the local drug trade. “Take a number, we’ll get to you shortly. It’s get time to get straight or relocate.”

On August 16, Hall sent the following letter to local townships and villages explaining the situation. “Dear Fiscal Officers & Trustees: Enclosed you will find a check for monies due to your subdivision since 2005. This money was sent to my office from the Auditor of State for Manufactured Home Homestead Rollback for the years of 2005 through 2012. This is a rollback that you should receive at the end of the year each and every year. The total amount of money I am distributing to all the subdivisions is $248,784.86. I found this money while searching through the funds during the month of April, and after several days of research I

discovered that it was the Manufactured Home Homestead Rollback. I then contacted the Auditor of State and have been working with them to make sure that I distributed the monies correctly. They requested that I not disburse the monies until they could thoroughly check my computations. That has now been completed and I am sending you your money plus interest calculated to the best of my ability. As for the breakdowns between your levies, I am unable to give you that information. Please know that my office is working diligently to make sure that you receive all of your distributions in a timely manner and that each and every one is done correctly. I know how much you need your money in order to operate and I hope to help you in that endeavor. Please do not hesitate to call my office and speak with me if you have any questions.

Brown County Court of Common Pleas Judge, Scott T. Gusweiler accepted a plea of guilty to an amended Count One, Burglary, a felony of the third degree, having a maximum penalty of thirty-six (36) months in prison. Upon a motion by the State, Count Two was dismissed. Judge Gusweiler sentenced Mr. Spencer to serve 2 years of Community Control under the supervision of the Adult Probation Department.

I now personally look over every EFT that comes through my office to make sure that it is put into the correct account and as of now I am personally doing all the distributions myself. I feel that communication is very important and since I am new to this, I also realize that I and my staff may miss something that you need. Please let us know. My office is here to assist you. I hope this money will be helpful as you try to “make ends meet” with dwindling tax money from the state.” The Village of Fayetteville has zoning ordinances which prohibit manufactured homes, and accordingly did not receive any funds from the state.

this Dress for Success event,” Plymail said. “We offered on in Adams County in April and we had 19 women take part. It was exciting day. As the women arrived we divided them into two groups. The first group went to an employment seminar while the second group attended the suiting session where they picked a suit for themselves from racks and racks of suits.” She continued, “During the employment seminar the women were given information about how to research for a job online, how working with Workforce Connections can benefit their search and other useful information on succeeding in getting a job.” Some of the additional information they received were tips on having a good job interview, how body language can make or break a job interview, how to stress your greatest strengths and weaknesses and a list of interview takealong checklist. The groups were also given a list of other agencies that can help with their job searching experiences including: • Ohio Department of Job and Family Services; • Adams County Public Library System; • Southern State Community College; • Adult Opportunities; • Rehabilitation Services Commission; • Experience Works.

The Dress for Success program helps solve a major problem confronting women trying to enter the workforce face daily. How can they afford a nice suit without a job and how can they get a job without a nice suit?

Enrollment at Eastern Local School District is up and following an executive session, members of the board of education voted to hire two new kindergarten teachers. Also at the August 20 board meeting Eastern’s athletic director Eric Purdy reviewed changes he was requesting to the district’s athletic policies. The Eastern School District Athletic Policy consists of seven sections. Purdy made the following recommendations be made in each section: • In section I, Policy Contracts....add a policy contract that must be signed each year of participation by each student, manager and cheerleader stating that they had read and understood that the contract period will be in effect 24 hours a day and seven days a week; • In section IV - Suspension Policies for Tobacco, Alcohol, and Drugs... changes for the 3rd violation from 180 school days participation denial and 10 counseling sessions required for reinstatement to 180 school days participation denial and 10 counseling sessions required for reinstatement consideration;

eric Purdy, athletic director at eastern Local school districts asks members of the eastern school Board to approve several changes he was requesting to update the school’s athletic policy.

• the suspension policy for use or possession illegal drugs was also changed to read (after the second violation) possibility of reinstatement; • In section V - Code of Regulations for Athletic Participation...students serving a probation sentence issued from a state, county or city government agency will be prohibited from participating in any athletic contest, practice, condition-

ing or award ceremony until the probation sentence has been terminated. Additionally, if the athlete has already made the in-season team before being sentenced with probation, that athlete may be permitted to attend practice without participating, ride the bus to contests and sit with the team, but not dress in uniform. Following a lengthy discussion on the changes, the board voted to accept all the

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.

changes. The board also discussed the $100 pay-to-play fee and agreed to allow students to pay the fee at each change of season sports, which would make it so parents wouldn’t have to come of with all the fees at once. Superintendent Michelle Filon presented her legislative report and she updated the board on House and Senate bills she was watching or was concerned about. “Lawmakers plan on using a new state budget to commission a nonprofit organization (New Leaders for Ohio Schools) that will train professionals from a variety of fields to be education administrators,” Filon read aloud from a powerpoint presentation. “This will be seeded with $3.5 million for the biennium. This pilot project will be led by a nine-member board and get back office support from Ohio State University’s Fisher College of Business.” Filon added that the size of the budget for the project concerned her, and the fact that it could take business people and put them in control over schools. “Right now we have superintendents evaluating principals, principals evaluating teachers,” she said, “and now you would have individuals evaluating those individuals that have never

been in the classroom. Never taught a child. And to me we are not factories, we are schools educating children.” Superintendent Filon also updated the board on the voucher system expansion, the new end-of-course requirements, and diploma requirements. Filon told board members that she was still in favor of eliminating two bus routes especially the route to St. Michael’s in Ripley because it only carries 11 students most days and as little as seven students some days. At the board’s June meeting Filon reported that eliminating the St. Michael route, plus one other internal route could free up approximately $50,000. However, according to the principal at St. Michael School, Mary Martin, “St. Michael School is the only Catholic school in all of Brown County. These parents have a right to send their children to the school of their choice, even if there are only 11 students. These students families pay taxes too, and it is required by law for schools to bus K-8 students to the private schools.” Eastern’s board voted to send the matter to the state for a final decision on whether or not the district can be forced to transport the 11 children.

OSHP investigating a fatal motorcycle crash on US 50

The Wilmington Post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol is currently investigating a fatal motorcycle crash which occurred on US 50 at Danville Road in Highland County. On August 16, 2013 at approximately 1053 hours troopers from the Wilmington Post responded to a fatal motorcycle crash which occurred on US 50 at Danville Road. James C. Patton, 52 YOA, of Lynchburg, OH was operating a 1994 Harley Davidson motorcycle eastbound on US 50. Betty L. Shelton, 33 YOA, of Hillsboro, OH was operating a 2013 Chevrolet Sonic northbound on Danville Road. Mrs. Shelton came to a stop at the stop sign for northbound traffic on Danville Road. Mrs. Shelton failed to yield when she pulled away from the stop sign to make a left turn in order to go west on US 50. Mr. Patton’s motorcycle struck the side of the Chevrolet and he was ejected from the motorcycle. Mr. Patton was transported by Lynchburg Fire & EMS to Highland District Hospital where he was pronounced deceased at the hospital. Mr. Patton was not wearing a helmet at the time of the crash. Speed and alcohol do not appear to be a factor in the crash. The traffic crash remains under investigation. Providing assistance at the crash scene were the Highland County Coroner’s Office, the Ohio State

Highway Patrol Crash Reconstruction Unit, Highland County Sheriff’s Department, Lynchburg Fire & EMS, and Paint Creek Fire & EMS. “The Patrol Reminds Motorist To Look Twice and Save a Life”

The district’s four principals each spoke briefly regarding preparations in their buildings for the upcoming school year. Filon also talked to the board about goals she had in place for the 2013-2014 school year which included: • establishing an action group to implement intervention beginning with the 2014-2015 school year, focusing on any student cohort that does not achieve annual benchmarks, two consecutive years and any teacher whose students do not achieve their benchmarks two consecutive years; • develop and implement a schedule to network the buildings; • develop and implement a student advisory council comprised of representation from all student stakeholder groups; • develop and implement a process for determining and growing young leaders. In other actions taken at the board: • approved renting a van from Southern Hills Career and Technical Center; •approved participation in the Ohio High School Athletic Association; • approved the goals set by the superintendent; • employ Allan Cooper as bus driver; • employ Carmela Reeves as Carmela Reeves; • employ Victor Oliviari as volunteer assistant boy’s soccer and Mark Day as volunteer JH volleyball assistant and volunteer JH girls basketball assistant.

Pricing Freezer Beef Over the past few years, there seems to be more demand to buy locally raised food. There are several farmer’s markets and road side stands that sell fresh vegetables during the summer months. In addition to fresh vegetables, several people prefer to purchase meat in a similar way. During the county fairs throughout the area, youth sell projects including many species used for meat. In many cases these projects are purchased and sent to processer for meat to be put in the freezer. In other cases, some people choose to purchase a beef, a hog, or maybe another species from a local producer. In this case the price becomes an issue. There are several factors, including feed costs and the current market for livestock. In a recent Beef Blog post there was some good information for those who want to know more about pricing freezer beef from Michigan State University. This information includes a worksheet that may be helpful when pricing freezer beef. There is also information available that explains what to expect to get when purchasing a freezer beef. The carcass weight, the amount of trim and bone, etc. may be useful information so there are no surprises or questions later. Here are a few ways you can get this information. One, you can send me an email requesting a link that I can send you, or you can request to be added to my mailing list for beef information and I can add your address to the list. (I have several mailing lists for different subject matter, please just ask). My e-mail address is dugan.46@osu.edu. Another way would be to go to this address: www.thebeefblog.com and go to the August 19 blog. The post about Pricing Freezer Beef can be found near the bottom of the list. If none of these work, or you do not use e-mail, call me or stop by one of the OSU Extension Offices. With three offices, it is best if you call ahead and I can meet you at the office or leave the information for you.

How Washington is impeding the economic recovery CONTINUED FROM PAGE 4

ident’s announced delay of the employer mandate until after the 2014 election may only delay the law’s resulting shift to part-time work. And that is not the only job-killing impact of this law. Its expensive new burdens apply to businesses with 50 or more employees, which is creating a new class of businesses known as “49ers.” Don’t expect these employers to create new jobs as long as Obamacare is on the books: The government fines would be too large. Secondly, even if we were gaining full-time jobs, 195,000 would be inadequate to put people back to work in an econ-

omy that lost 8.7 million jobs during the recent recession. Producing enough jobs for the new workers entering the labor force is not good enough. As has been the case after every recession since the Great Depression, a strong recovery is also needed to put Americans back to work. Steep recessions like the one we experienced a few years ago are typically followed by sharp recoveries. For example, during the last equally deep recession, in 1982, the 10.8 percent unemployment rate exceeded the unemployment rate of even this past recession. Yet just a year later, confident businesses were investing, and the economy created 1 million jobs in a

amendment and, as chair of the House Budget Committee, successfully led efforts to balance the federal budget in fiscal years 1998, 1999, 2000 and 2001, the first balanced budgets since 1969. Kasich inherited an historic $8 billion budget shortfall upon taking office

as governor in 2011 but worked with the General Assembly to overcome it without a tax increase and without drastic cuts to state services. Instead, Ohio reengineered its approach to key programs like Medicaid, where it reined-in spending while simultaneously improving the quality of care to vulnerable Ohioans.

single month. And by this point after that recession began (66 months), the economy had recovered all its lost jobs and gained 9.1 million additional ones. Similarly, at this point after the shallower 1990 recession, the economy had recovered all job losses and gained an additional 8.4 million jobs. At this point in the so-called jobless recovery after the 2001 recession, the economy was up 4 million jobs. Yet today, 67 months after the recent recession began, the economy is still down 2.2 million jobs. This makes it the worst economic recovery since the Great Depression. Dive deeper into the numbers and you’ll find that the average unemployed person has been searching for a job for eight months. Many more have simply given up looking. In fact, under President Obama, for every net job created, five other people have given up looking for a job. Why has this recovery been so poor? It’s certainly not a lack of “stimulus.” President Obama’s staggering $1.7 trillion in stimulus initiatives have only proven once again that governments cannot borrow and spend their way to prosperity. And the Federal Reserve has shown that endless monetary stimulus can be a policy dead-end as well. Instead, the president’s

policies have contributed to the sluggish recovery. The single largest predictor of job growth is business investment. In fact, over the past several decades, the link has been nearly perfect: Every 1 percent increase in business investment leads to a 0.27 percent increase in privatesector jobs. The more businesses invest and expand, the more employees they will hire, and the stronger the economy will grow. Yet four years since the recession was declared over, business investment remains sluggish because entrepreneurs lack faith in the economy. Business surveys reveal that the impact of Obamacare, a surge in regulations, the threat of cap-and-trade, and trillions in new government debt have led to less investment and more caution. In this uncertain environment, investing, expanding, and hiring new employees are simply too risky.

PUBLIC NOTICES

Freezer Beef, field night and training are at the top of the list this week

Page 14 - The Brown County Press - Sunday, August 25, 2013

Washington cannot encourage job creation by punishing job creators. Instead, lawmakers should simplify the tax code, replace Obamacare with patient-centered health reforms, encourage energy exploration, and rein in runaway spending. Entrepreneurs want to expand, and millions want to work. Washington should remove the shackles and unleash the economy’s potential.

Slow start for Western Brown BY Brandon Barb The Brown County Press

Girls soccer at Western Brown High School has started off on the wrong foot so to speak, after losing to Lynchburg-Clay and Clinton Massie to start the season off. They lost the first game 3-0 and the second 5-0. “We’re young and going through growing pains right now,” Head Coach Dan Silvis said. “They are still learning and once we get a few games under our belt it will get better.” With five freshmen starting on varsity, the team is at somewhat of a disadvantage in terms of experience and size. “A lot of these teams are very senior heavy. Its going to take some time for the girls to learn the speed of the game,” Silvis said. “Its frustrating for me and for the kids, but I’m proud of the girls.” Silvis said as the season continues they “will hopefully learn new things, that will work out in the long run.” The biggest task is to get the offense together since they haven’t scored a goal yet. “The score doesn’t show

that we played well,” Silvis said. The boys team is in better shape as it stands right now. With a record of 1-01, the boys are enjoying some success as the season begins. While they were able to beat Lynchburg 2-1, the boys weren’t able to capitalize on an early lead against Clinton Massie. “I’m pleased with most of the game,” boys head coach Kyle Fender said. “We were plagued by injuries going into it, and were able to play well.” The two goals for the boys team, against Clinton Massie, came from senior Nick Kuttler. Once the second half started Kuttler was shut out and so were the rest of the Broncos for that matter. “We got away from controlling the ball in the second half,” Fender said. With an aggressive team, the rest of the season should be exciting for not only Fender but the Bronco soccer fans. “I’m very optimistic moving forward. We work hard every day, we like to put pressure on every opponent, Fender said. “I’m very proud of them.”

The final score was 5-0 but head coach Dan silvis isn’t worried about the rest of the season. The boys soccer team tied with Clinton Massie, 2-2, after jumping out to an early lead but they were shut out during the whole second half. Boys coach Kyle Fender said the problem was losing control of the ball.

Sept. 1 start of squirrel season

Ohio’s squirrel hunting season opens Sept. 1, when many hunters will go to the woods with the opportunity to take as many as six per day. Ohio's squirrel season is a long tradition for many hunters. Legal hunting hours for squirrels are one half-hour before sunrise to sunset daily, and the season runs through Jan. 31, 2014. Squirrel season will be closed during the one-week statewide deer gun season, Dec. 2-8. The eighth annual Squirrel Hunting Cooperator Survey conducted by the ODNR Division of Wildlife compared hunter results and nut crop ratings to provide an index of Ohio ’s squirrel population status. The abundance of nut crops is a good indicator of squirrel populations for the following year. The statewide nut production ratings for the fall of 2012 was higher than 2011. All tree species, except beech, showed above average production in 2012. However, a cold winter in 2012-2013 may have negatively impacted squirrel densities. The 2013-2014 harvest may not equal the above average harvests of the past two seasons, although a good harvest is still expected for this season.

7th Annual Moler Memorial full of last lap passes

A fine field of 32 Late Models were on hand for the 7th Annual Victor "Ike" Moler Memorial. A tribute to the man who started the dream for four generations of racers, along with his wife, Rosemont Moler, they originally built a dirt track in their back yard, Mt. Orab Speedway back in the 50's and as with Moler Raceway Park today, The Best of the Best raced there every week. It was Wheelersburg, Ohio’s RJ Conley taking the Slicker Graphics Fast Time award with a 12.979 lap. In the 6 car Fast Dash event presented by Diamond Cut Lawn Care it was Bedford, Indiana’s Greg Johnson taking the win in his Revelution Chassis over Middletown,Ohio’s John Whitney Jr. In the 50 lap feature event it was a rough start as Florence,Ky’s Robby Hensley would lose a wheel on the first lap bringing out a caution. On the restart it was fast qualifier RJ Conley on the move from his third starting spot and taking the early lead. It looked like Conley and Johnson were going to run away with things as those two set a fast pace out front. A lap 24 caution for fifth place running Joe Ramey from Ironton, Ohio who made heavy contact with backstretch wall would change things as race-long leader Conley would develop a fuel leak and have to leave the race track for repairs.

On the restart it was Johnson out front with Jason Jaggers of Wyanet, Illinois in second spot with Smith, Chamberlain, and Devin Moran of Dresdon, Ohio rounding out the top five spots. At the green Johnson would slowly pull away from the field but as the laps wore down Jaggers slowly began running him down and with lots a lap cars still on the track in the first time of the race. Jaggers would take home the $5,000 payday in his first ever visit to Moler Raceway Park. In the UMP Modified it was Matt Hamilton and Pete Holt bringing the field to the green flag with Hamilton (Aurora,Indiana) taking the early lead. By lap 3 it was fifth starting Devin Gilpin getting past Josh Rice for second position and setting sail for the leader. A caution on lap 13 for Rice and Brandon Green hitting the wall hard on the backstretch would reset the field for a final exciting finish. With Hamilton working the bottom of the race track it was Gilpin going to the high side to find some traction. As the laps wore on it was obvious the Gilpin was better on the high side through turns #1 &#2 but Hamilton was better on the bottom through #3 & #4. On the white flag lap it was Gilpin getting all the way beside Hamilton and at the checkers the two leaders were separated by less than a foot as Hamilton in his Schmoes Collision,

Concept Gentleman’s Club, OTS Lightning Chassis would claim his 3rd win on the season at MRP. Gilpin would come home second with Holt in third position while Larry Pickelheimer Jr would charge from 14 to fourth position with Aaron Pendleton making his first visit to MRP successful by placing in fifth spot. Heat races were won by Hamilton, Holt, and Rice while John Baker would win the B-main event. In the final event of the evening it was heat race winners Sean Jones and Miles Tarvin bringing the field to the green flag for the 15-lap chevette feature event. At the green it was Jones getting the jump and taking the lead while Tarvin would battle with Rusty Yarger in second spot. Tarvin would take control of the second position as Yarger would have his hand’s full with 6th starting Boog Verdon. Meanwhile out front it was Jones setting sail and winning his first feature event in a couple of season. Jones would dedicate the win to his friend and former engine builder Ron Snell who passed away last summer. Tarvin would come home second with Verdon in third spot followed by Spensor Watson and Yarger.

because a lot of our runners have never run before.” There are no returning senior girls and only one senior on the boys team, but he didn’t run last year. Only two runners are returning from last year, with overall numbers of five boys and nine girls. “I think we will be fairly competitive this season, but I’m not familiar with the league. As the season goes on I think we will get better but it depends on what happens,” Bailey said. Bailey was asked to step in as coach after Jimmy Johnson retired. “We have a real good group of young athletes, and they are really trying to get better. As time goes on they will,” Bailey said. A team with a good portion of returning runners is Ripley. Ten boys and three girls are returning this year. “If I can get two more they should be at the top of the league,” coach Jerry Kelly said. Kelly predicts the boys team should be third of fourth in the league, with a great year ending with them being in second. “I’m hoping to get in the top three teams in the league,” he said. “You always say you want to win it but you have to be realistic. The boys are young, with our lead runner being a freshman.” While the boys team has enough runners, the girls are short a few. Through the offseason it looked like Kelly would have eight or nine girls but a few dropped off. “Somehow I plan on having a good team,” Kelly said. “The boys program should be back pretty well, and the girls I have quality runners I just need the numbers.” With the goal of running at state, Tom Glasscock has the bar set high for his runners at Eastern Brown. “I want to take them as far as I can as a team. If

they can’t make it as a team, I want to take individuals to state,” Glasscock said. “We can get there if we stay focused.” Eastern has a small team this year with only four returning runners, five girls and seven overall runners. Glasscock is looking to first time runner junior Alyssa Taylor to help the team out a great deal. “She is really motivated and can be a star at this,” he said. “If they work hard they will be at the state meet, that’s my goal,” Glasscock said. “It will take a lot but I can see us winning some invitationals. We will surprise people, and I’m tired of finishing 4th, 5th, or 6th.” Not to be outdone, Western Brown has 11 runners returning this season, with 23 runners overall. The boys team has 15 runners, which is the most Jim Neu has had on a team. “The boys compared to last year should be a little better,” head coach Jim Neu said. Gage Perkins and Rick Pride are among the returning runners, and they both were on first team all-league last year. For the season, Neu would like for each runner to improve throughout the year, being better at the end of it. He also thinks the boys team has a chance at winning the league but he “won’t swear to that.” “The goal is to have fun and improve,” Neu said. If Western Brown cross country was in Division II there could be possibilities of going far in the postseason, according to Neu.

High hopes for this cross country season

bers with less experience because last year I had eight girls that went down to six, and I had to recruit mid-season just to have a team.” To fix that, Vavilov tries to rotate the girls in doubles matches as much as possible. Moving forward this season, Vavilov doesn’t want to say they will win the league. “I don’t want to say that or anything like that. If we win in the process that’s great but because the team is young I want them to gain the experience as well as want to do well,” he said. Since there is only one senior playing this season, there are hopes the other 11 girls will return next season and continue their success.

Now that the school year has begun, a sport that is sometimes trumped by the other fall activities is taking stride. The cross country schedule kicked off for three teams -- Eastern, Georgetown and Ripley -- Aug. 21. For a few teams, new coaches have been hired and are finding their way through the start of the first year. Tony Watson is going through his first season at Georgetown after Chad Sexton retired, but he has experience with the sport. Watson ran cross country for Georgetown in the late 1980s and helped train his daughter for the sport. “It’s an honor to be coaching here, I kind of bleed black and gold,” Watson said. For the team, the boys and girls are young but they all have some experience. “The girls want to be league champs, possibly district champs,” Watson said. “And hopefully regionals. Its a long shot for state, but you never know. They should have been district champs last year. The girls look strong to do that this year.” Four seniors were lost from the boys side, but are returning three juniors. Last year the boys were league champions, and Watson wants to repeat that this season. “Look for us to fight for league champions again, but you never know what you’ll get. I just want them to enjoy it,” Watson said. Another first year coach at Fayetteville-Perry is Jack Bailey. The girls team has won two straight league titles, and the goal is bring back the third this year. “We are a very young team, and over the summer we worked on the basics,” Bailey said. “Overall it is going to be a learning experience for us,

The Western Brown Girls Tennis Team is quietly beginning another year of success in 2013. Football, soccer and other sports are all competing for attention, but with the start that the girls have had so far, people might want to take notice. With a start to the season of 4-0, the team is enjoying a good amount of momentum moving forward. “The wins are products of us doing the little things well,” head coach Max Vavilov said. “We focus on the moments in each game, each set and let the wins come as a product of that work.” By taking one match at a time, Vavilov is able to keep his players focused on improving their individual game. Ac-

cording to Vavilov, the girls play each opponent as if they were a contender for the league championship. There are four returning girls from last year, and 12 on the team so most of the team is new to the game. “Over the summer we worked on the basics, and introduced the girls to the game,” Vavilov said. “I tried to teach them the techniques and correct motions needed, because it is easy to pick up bad habits.” Vavilov mainly worked on the correct ways to stand and proper hitting techniques needed for to play the game. With so many players on the team it is a problem to get them all match experience. “Its a good problem to have,” Vavilov said. “But I’ll take the num-

Drive sober Campaign begins in Brown County.

As summer ends, drive sober campaign begins in county

Well, here we are with another summer almost at its end. Kids start back to school this week, high school and college football are about to begin, and the Labor Day holiday is not too far away, either. And as this end-of-summer holiday is one of the peak periods of the year for alcohol-related crashes, it’s also time for the annual Drive Sober Or Get Pulled Over National Alcohol Crackdown, which will run this year from August 16th through September 2nd. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), at least 10,000 people die in crashes due to drunk driving each year. That would be the number of deaths occurring from 20 jumbo jet crashes! So NHTSA is sponsoring the Drive Sober campaign and Alcohol Crackdown in an attempt to decrease these alcohol-related crash deaths with a nationwide focus on public awareness and stepped-up law enforcement to keep drunk drivers off of our roads. That’s why the Brown County Safe Communities Coalition and local law enforcement officials held the

susan BasTa Drive Sober campaign kick-off on Thursday evening, August 15th on the lawn of the Brown County Court House just prior to the start of this month’s Concert on the Square. Lt. Randy McElfresh, Commander of the Georgetown Post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol, welcomed the crowd and explained why the Drive Sober campaign is held each year at this time. The Lt. also listed common behaviors of drunk drivers seen on the road to help you to protect yourself and loved ones from drunk drivers. Lt. McElfresh was joined on the Courthouse Square during the kick-off by Georgetown Chief of Police Buddy Coburn, other Safe Communities Coalition members Nick Owens and Danny Bubp, Jennifer Stewart-Hamblen, and Sue Basta, Brown County Safe Communities Project Director. Remember—if you plan

to drink alcohol, also plan to have a designated sober driver to get you home safely. And please also remember this fact--the best defense against a drunk driver is to buckle up yourself and your loved ones while traveling in a motor vehicle—every time, every ride! If you suspect a drunk driver on the road, call the local law enforcement right away so that the police can get this driver off the road. The Ohio State Highway Patrol’s tip line number for reporting suspected drunk drivers or drug trafficking is #677. For more information, please check out www.nhtsa.gov/drivesober/. Have a safe Labor Day holiday! The Brown County Safe Communities Program is funded by the U.S. Dept. of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Ohio Department of Public Safety/Ohio State Highway Patrol-Ohio Traffic Safety Office. It is locally coordinated by the HEALTH-UC and the University of Cincinnati AHEC Program office at 114 E. State St. in Georgetown, Ohio.

Saving seeds is a practice that began hundreds of years ago when our ancestors gathered seeds as a means of survival. Those early folks saved the seeds from their favorite flowers, fruits and vegetables and passed them down from one generation to the next. That was the source of many of today’s heirloom seeds. For many years there were no seed catalogs or businesses that sold seeds and having seeds for next year’s crops depended upon the determination of those early farmers. Today we can buy prepackaged seeds on just about any corner so saving seeds is no longer a necessity but it is a great hobby. There are several reasons to save seeds: It’s free, requires no expensive equipment, it’s easy, it gives you something to share with friends, it’s fun and it’s another way to “go green”. Kathy Reid, OSUE Brown County Master Gardener Volunteer, shares a few rules that should be followed to be successful in gathering seeds. Inspect your plants and choose the ones that are the best specimens in your garden and the healthiest; diseases can be carried through seeds. Wait until the seed pods are mature but keep in mind that different flowers mature at different times so you’ll have to keep checking on your plants and gather the seeds when they’re ready. That means that you’ll be looking for seed pods, seed capsules or seed heads that have dried on the stalk and could possibly rattle when shaken. Gather seeds on a warm, dry day. You’ll want to avoid seeds that are damp or that are not fully mature. Excess moisture could cause the seeds to mold and become unusable. Snip the pods or seed heads into a paper bag, envelope or other open container being careful to catch any seeds that spill or shatter. Avoid damaging the seeds. Be sure to label the seeds as you collect them. Many seeds look similar and failing to label them could cause confusion later. Dry the seeds for 2 or 3

Marigold seeds

weeks in a dry, airy location and after they’ve dried, crush the seed pods or seed heads to release the seeds. Separate the seeds from the debris, transfer to airtight containers, label and store in a cool dark place. Save the seeds for the next season to plant or to share. Seeds remain viable for 23 years so don’t discard them if you don’t use them all during next year’s planting season. Here are a few annuals whose seeds are easy to identify and gather: marigolds, larkspur, poppies, zinnia, cosmos, sunflowers, hyacinth beans and morning glory. Start by saving just one kind of seed. You’ll soon discover how fun and easy it is and before you know it, you’ll find yourself looking for seeds everywhere you go. A few years ago I was invited to gather seeds in a good friend’s prairie.

There was a group of about 30 excited gardeners racing around the six acre prairie. Some had brought large paper bags, plastic grocery bags, etc. Me? I brought a container of zip baggies, a permanent marker, a back pack, a camera, a spiral notepad and pen. If I didn’t know the name of a potential “seed donor”, I took a photo of the plant, numbered the bag and noted it in my journal. We all went home tired, but happy! Remember to email your gardening questions to OSUE Brown County Master Gardener, Mike Hannah, at mhannah2@msn.com. A Master Gardener Volunteer will be at the Georgetown OSUE office on Wednesdays from 1 - 3 p.m. if you would like to stop by with a gardening question or problem.

MARY HOWLETTE from a very young age the two never, ever lost their “sisterhood.” They were such close friends they even grew to looking alike. Leora always brought a smile to my face. I always thought it strange that both married tall skinny men and both men had the name Leroy within their name, Leroy and Roy Lee and they all-all of them talked a mile a minute! I was always upset that I had only two ears to hear with when around them. Leora was a wealth of information and lately I learned why. She cut out EVERYBODIES name out of the newspaper and made scrapbooks. Awhile back her son brought me a box of paperwork of Leora's. I was hoping and hoping that some of Mom's-finely-detailednovel-type letters would be in the box. No, but there is information galore on the Swearingen family and all of their descendents. Wow!Though I have not found any blood relation until my great aunt married Lewis Swearingen it was quite interesting to see who is related to who! I

Proceeds of this event it is said to go to the Wounded Warrior Project and its mission to assist severely wounded veterans and has raised considerable amounts of money for this project. This sounds like great fun but ... I’ll let you have the thrill! I am still attempting to process the thought of 7,000 pumped up participants plus their crews in Maysville and on U.S. Route 52!

28, the monthly Nazarene Music Night will be celebrated. Well, if you think that all the events mentioned in this column this week is a little slow for you then possibly you would like to become one of the 7,000 participants expected to descend upon Big Rock Off-Road Park in Maysville, Ky, the weekend of October 19 and 20, and participate in the 10+ mile Tough Mudder obstacle course that has been greased up, readied for the four foot high flames, and the gauntlet of 10,000-volt charged dangling electric wires that all must be

singing. What a great time I believe this will be, Sunday morning! While in Ripley enjoying the Farmer's Festival please stop by and enjoy the sights of the Ohio Tobacco Museum out by the last remaining warehouses. Also while in the area make plans to stop by the Aunt Jemima Museum and visit the gravesites of Rosa Washington Riles and her daughter Ruth Suggs, the descendent of slaves, a girl born on Frost Road, Russellville, that is still after these many years after her death, is still known worldwide. For contact info call (937) 392-1323. The Indian Springs Winery recently held a Dream Factory Benefit with funds raised during this event benefiting the Dream Factory of Ohio in honor of Peyton Murphy. Sisters Standing Strong is a foundation that helps families with handicap children. Donations can still be made to Fifth Third Bank of Russellville and Georgetown who sponsored the event. Many, many congratulations to Emily Wright, formerly of the Red Oak area and attendee of the Red Oak Presbyterian Church. Emily recently, on May 18, 2013 obtained a Master's Degree in Architecture! I for one am mighty proud. On Wednesday, August

had no idea! Also, in the scrapbooks is a multitude of information on the White's. To the White's my mom is related. Leora's information is nearly mind-boggling! Then there is “The Scrapbook!” the granddaddy of them all. The others are spiral notebooks converted into a scrapbook but this one is a real to goodness thick scrapbook with long pages. Yep, it took about an hour just to read what was in the first three pages!!! Well, the Ripley Tobacco Festival has now been turned in the Ripley Farmer's Festival. Anyway, one of the events at this years Farmer’s Festival is a first for me-though I believe the idea to be the beginnings of a wonderful experience. It is called “Bed Turning Quilt Show” held Saturday at noon at the big windowed building 14 Main Street. Anyone who wants to display their quilt and tell it's story is invited to contact Judith Gray at (937) 392-0245 or Joy Hanselman at (937) 3784828. Also, among other great experiences anticipated is the Prayer Breakfast to be held at the RULH Cafeteria at 7:30 a.m. Admission is free!
