THE BROWN COUNTY

Man arrested after gunfire and chase BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press Two Brown County Sheriff’s Deputies fired shots at a fleeing suspect on Bardwell West Road on August 17. The deputies were executing a search warrant in cooperation with the Clermont County Sheriff’s Department and a Federal agency. A statement from the BCSO reads “While executing the warrant, a suspect was contacted in Wayne Gates/THE BROWN COUNTY PRESS a vehicle.

Deputies. Both fired one shot in an attempt to protect themselves and others and disable the vehicle. No one was injured and the suspect was arrested nearby after a short pursuit. The suspect has been identified as Michael Rains, 35 years of age, of Bardwell West Road. He was arrested on Felony charges of Attempted Aggravated Vehicular Assault against a Police Officer, Failure to Comply and Driving Under Suspension. Sheriff Wenninger stated that the case remains under investigation and additional charges may be pending against

Rains. Rains was released from the Brown County Adult Detention Center on August 20, 2012 after posting a $10,000.00 surety bond which was issued by Judge Joseph of Brown Worley County Municipal Court.” Two investigators were observed in the yard of the residence on August 17 with metal depresumably tectors, searching for shell casings and other evidence following the discharge of the weapons from the BCSO deputies.

Aberdeen business stops after Sardinia mayor sets meeting council members vow boycott about fire district proposal BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press Action by the Aberdeen Village Council is currently in limbo. With the resignation of member Joe council Sprague, there are five members of council. Four are needed to form a quorum, but council members Jay Castle and Jerry Applegate have said they will not attend any special

meetings of council until a regular public meeting is scheduled. Aberdeen Mayor Harry Foxworthy called a special meeting of council on August 20, but the meeting could not be held because there were not enough council members present for a quorum. Castle and Applegate did not attend. The subject of the special meeting was to discuss the

upcoming vacant Village Clerk position following the resignation of current Clerk Bernice Jones. By law, other topics other than those named for special meetings cannot be voted on. “Why call a special meeting and limit it to one subject when we have so many things that need to be dealt with?”, Applegate asked during a telephone interCONTINUED ON PAGE 10

Liso sentenced to ten years in prison after rape conviction James Liso was sentenced to ten years in prison on Aug. 22 in Brown County Common Pleas Court. Liso was convicted of one count of first degree felony Rape on Aug. 1. He was found guilty of engaging in sexual conduct with a female victim under the age of 13. Liso was originally charged in September of 2011 with two counts of Rape, with one charge based on a female victim and one based on a male victim. Liso was found Not Guilty in regards to the

male victim. The mother of the female victim addressed Common Judge Scott Pleas Gusweiler before Liso was sentenced. The mother said, “She has constant nightmares and is scared of everyone except her family. This is turning into a life sentence for her and our family.” Gusweiler then asked Liso if he had anything to say, with Liso replying “No, your honor.” Gusweiler then preceeded to sentence Liso to ten years in prison. The family of the victim later brought a handwritten statement to the Brown County Press. CONTINUED ON PAGE 10

BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press The unemployment rate in Brown County remained flat in July, staying at the same 8.3 percent rate reported in June by the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services. The same jobless rates from June to July also held true in Adams and Clinton counties, both at 10.5 percent, the Cincinnati area at 7.1 percent and the state overall at 7.4 percent.

The ODJFS released the following information on Tuesday, Aug. 21. “Among the state's 88 counties, the July 2012 unemployment rates ranged from a low of 4.4 percent in Mercer County to a high of 12.9 percent in Pike County. Rates decreased in 44 of the 88 counties. In July, the comparable rate for Ohio was 7.4 percent. Eight counties had unemployment rates at or below 6.0 percent in July.

James Liso listens to Common Pleas Judge Scott Gusweiler during his sentencing hearing on August 22.

The Brown County Board of Elections will be following a directive from the Ohio Secretary of State regarding voting hours. Secretary of State Jon Husted sent out a statewide directive on August 15 to standardize early voting hours statewide.

Board Member Dallas Hurt said on August 21 that “The Brown County Board of Elections has not taken a position in opposition to the Secretary of State’s directive.” Two Democrat members of the Warren County Board of Elections did take a position in opposition to the directive last week, and were suspended for their deci-

BY Martha B. Jacob The Brown County Press The Fayetteville-Perry Local School District Board of Education met in regular session August 16, and Superintendent Raegan White took the opportunity to discuss with the board Senate Bill 316 and provisions of the third grade reading guarantee. “I’ve passed out some information from the Ohio Department of Education regarding this third grade reading guarantee and how it will effect us,” White began. “Under this third grade reading guarantee, all students in the third grade will have to be tested by September 30 each year, including this year, and approved by a reading assessment to make sure they can read. If there are students that don’t attain a level needed, those students will have to go through different interventions.” White went on to say that if the student did not meet the requirements, they would be automatically held back in third grade for another year. “The board has to have an adopted policy of criteria on the issue by September 30,” he added. “I have some calls out now to see if I can find a model policy that we can use.” He added that the school would have to do all the testing on the third grade students. Greg Barlow, elementary school principal told the board that at least 95 percent of the district’s fourth graders are proficient readers or better, and that they were in the 80 range for third graders. “This will involve, probably in the single digits of students that could need help,” Barlow said, “we’re already doing these things for our third graders. We use an accelerated program here, which makes a difference.” The board approved a contract with Sheakley Uniserve to act as the district’s TPA (Third Party Administrator) for unemployment and workers compensation from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2013 with an administrative fee of $340 annually. Sheakley has been the employee benefit provider for the district in the past. Board treasurer Jo Anna Carraher told the board that she had done a comparison to last year in regard to the new grants the district would be receiving this upcoming school year. “My comparison to last year’s grants showed that some funds were more and some were less,” Carraher said. “The grant for the Race to the Top program this year is $21,000, and we will have a carry-over. It is designed to be used over a four year period and next year will be our last year. We don’t have to use it all this year, but we do have to budget for it. If we don’t

use is all we can carry it over to next year.” She added that the district would have to submit a detailed plan on how the funds would be spent. In old business discussions, the board talked about obtaining wireless internet service for the whole district. Carraher told the board that she had been given a quote of $56,000 for the district which was cheap compared to other quotes she had received. The board agreed to take a survey on how many kids have computers who would benefit from the wireless service. The board approved getting more bids on the service. The board also approved use of the elementary gym for 5th grade youth basketball practice. Following an executive session the following actions were taken: • approved Kim Wiederhold for CIP supplemental; • approved the employment of aides to be paid out of federal grand money including Annette Collins,

Bridget Finkbeiner, Jackie Holden and Sandy Houk; • approve contracts with Jennifer Rummel and Cara Schafer as cafeteria workers, Brenda Reed, special education, Bobby Kuntz, home instructor, Jack Bailey, volleyball supplemental and Leah Smith, sub bus driver; • accept resignation of Robin Wolfer and approve a list of cafeteria substitutes; • approve Don Wolfer, assistant football coach, Mark Ward as JV girls soccer coach; • approve several out-of state trips for FFA students.

Letters to the Editor

Fundraising effort for M.O. signs Dear Editor, As you know, Mt. Orab is growing and the future looks very bright for all of us with the addition of new and expanded manufacturing, new jobs, and new educational opportunities through Western Brown Schools and Southern State College. Now is the time to be involved in your community. The Mt. Orab Beautification Committee consists of members partnering with local businesses, the Mt. Orab Garden Club, the Mt. Orab Women’s Club, and the Mt. Orab Village. We welcome you to be a part of the new ”Entrance Signs” for Mt. Orab. These "Entrance Signs" will be placed on the 32 East and 32 West ramps of Mt. Orab (a prototype of signs is pictured here). In the history of the village we have never had “Entrance Signs”. The Beautification Committee is very proud of this project and will need funding to make it happen. We are asking everyone to participate in this very important opportu-

Dear Editor, Probably the smartest thing Mitt Romney has done to this point is pick a solid Libertarian policy work as his running mate. I’ll be the first to admit that, in all honesty, I could’ve blown off voting for Romney ... and no, that doesn’t mean I would’ve voted for Obama either ... but now that he showed a bit of gumption and picked someone, who can boast a proven record of fiscal conservatism, and a Libertarian perspective overall, I’m intrigued. Maybe his choice of running mate can teach him a thing or two! We need to whittle government down to the bare bones, not grow it bigger. We need to get the federal boys out of our hair ... they’re way overly power hungry. And Romney needed to balance his ticket with a man who reflects America’s need to tighten it’s fiscal belt and put big government on a diet. Paul Ryan was a good pick for this. Ryan, the Republican Congressman from Wisconsin’s First House District, is one of the most Libertarian men on Capital Hill. As a ranking member of the Committee on Budget, he introduced

CMYK

OPINION HR6110 as a response to Obama’s budget proposal for 2010. He was a devoted student of Ayn Rand’s philosophy, ‘Objectivism’, and the writings of Ludwig von Mises and Friedrich Hayek. What it all boils down to is this: The United States has embraced the self-destructive economic policy of socialism and, as a result, has bankrupt itself. We need people who are not fearful of biting the bullet to help us get back on a sound fiscal track. And if Paul Ryan can help Romney understand this and help to influence him in that direction, then the country will benefit in the long run. It is very unfortunate that, as a nation, we have been lulled into an unfortunate inability to think critically for ourselves ... thus we have allowed policies to become implemented which lack any real logic, other than the idea of the ‘quick fix’. There is no quick fix ... it’s time to grow up and recognize this fact for ourselves. It doesn’t take a genius to know that no one can spend what he doesn’t have to spend. I believe that Paul Ryan understands this point. Rev. Sam Talley

nity. The “Entrance Signs” will be 4’ x 8’ and will have landscaping around them. We think it will be such a beautiful welcome to all who work, visit or just play in Mt. Orab. We are trying to reach our funding goal for this project. We have the approval from ODOT, have secured a sign maker, and are ready to go to print! We are asking for any donation that you are comfortable with making.

However, the sooner we get the larger donations the quicker our “Entrance Signs” will be a reality for Mt. Orab. Upon completion of the signs there will be a group photo op in front of the signs followed by a press release with your company name in the Brown County Press. Your contribution as a community leader in Mt. Orab is very much appreciated and we look forward to working with you on this project. All checks

should be made out to the Mt. Orab Garden Club with Mt. Orab Beautification Committee written in the memo section of your check mailed to: Beverly Burkhart, 114 Maple Ridge Avenue, Mt. Orab, Ohio 45154. Please feel free to call me (937) 4443283 with any questions you might have. Thank you for doing your part to beautify Mt. Orab! Beverly R. Burkhart, Public Relations

Dear Editor, It looks to me that by picking Paul Ryan as his running mate, Romney likes the changes Ryan has put forth concerning Medicare. I think that Medicare is pretty good the way it is, and I suppose most of my fellow Ohioans

feel the same. Yes we all have heard about the radical budget he put forth, a budget Mitt Romney has called "marvelous". This plan, the Romney-Ryan plan would put into jeopardy the future health and happiness of not only almost 2 million Ohioans,

but all senior citizens. The Romney-Ryan plan would end Medicare as we know it by turning it into voucher system that would cost seniors around $6000 a year. You know for myself, and I think most of us seniors, a yearly increase of $6000 would be impossible. Especially when most of us are helping family and friends who are not as fortunate as we are. Now let's look into what Romney said about our President's robbing Medicare of $716 billion. The truth is that the health care law, that we fondly call Obamacare, seeks to reduce future Medicare spending and that adds up in the next 10 years to $716 billion. The money wasn't robbed it is a reduction to the Medicare program. This has been done by other presidents. Here is what I have found. President Ronald Reagan cut Medicare by reducing payments to hospitals, and he cut benefits by raising deductibles. President George H.W. Bush cut benefits by repealing a law that would have expanded coverage for drugs and catastrophic

illness. President Bill Clinton cut Medicare by changing payments to doctors and other providers, which could be considered to have an indirect effect on beneficiaries. Now you see what our President has done with Obamacare. He has put cost-saving mechanisms in the healthcare law and they get bigger every year. These cost-saving measures include spending reductions aimed at insurance companies and hospitals not beneficiaries like me and about 2 million Ohioans. Other cuts have been to Medicare Advantage, that's the plan run by private insurers that was started under President George W. Bush with the idea that competition among private insurers would reduce costs. But it has actually raised the cost higher than traditional Medicare. So Obamacare cuts back the payments to private insurers. So keep in mind that our President, Senator Sherrod Brown and other like minded friends need our help on election day. Danny Books Sr.

New teachers at GEVSD attend board meeting, use of crossing guards questioned CMYK

BY Martha B. Jacob The Brown County Press During the August 15 Georgetown Exempted Village School District Board of Education meeting, Superintendent Tom Durbin told the board that he had approved most of the enrollment for classes, with the exception of 1st, 2nd, 4th and 5th grade classes. “It looks like I’m going to have to say no to at least 22 open enrollment kids,” Durbin began, “and here’s the reason why. “The class sizes are going to be too high. As an example, at the fifth grade level, if I only take the open enrollment students who attended last year, I would only be raising the class sizes by one child each, for three classes. “At the fourth grade level, I would be raising the class sizes by four kids each. At second grade it would only add one student each class. But in first grade...we have a problem.” Durbin said as of August 10 he already had 80 first graders, not counting the open enrollment students. He added that he currently had 86 first graders, with only three teachers on staff. Board treasurer, Eric Toole informed the board that if they are forced to hire a fourth first grade teacher, funds for one year would be available through Title I funds. Durbin said at this point they would have to wait for the first day of school ( August 28) to get a final student count. The board gave the superintendent permission to begin looking for an additional first grade teacher. In attendance of the meeting, Ken P. McNeely, Jr, (D) candidate for State House of Representatives, 66th District, to introduce himself

and ask each board member how he could be of help to them and the school district, once he is in the House. McNeely told the board that he was open to any ideas they had on how he could help with funding issues at the school. He stated that he has a background in teaching and has a keen interest in education reform. Superintendent Durbin briefly discussed all the recent unfunded mandates placed on the school and how much money the mandates are going to cost the district. In other business at the August 15 meeting, earlier in the day, prior to the board meeting, members of the board held a small reception to meet and greet six new

• Cory Kidwell, high school industrial tech. Durbin said that a special professional development day for teachers has been scheduled for Friday, August 24. He stated that issues to be discussed during six learning sessions will include the Ohio Teacher Evaluation system, the new online assessments, the third grade reading guarantee and what kids need to know to be prepared for school. Durbin also told the board that the safety patrol for the schools was costing the district approximately $12,000 for three people to help students cross the road. Safety guards are located by Meadowood, in front of the school and at Station Drive.

Durbin asked the board if they would like for him to continue to do, or do a survey to see how often they help a student, or just do away with the service. He explained that he has watched the patrol and did not believe that very many students actually used the service. No action was taken by the board on the safety patrol issue. The board plans to revisit the matter at it’s October meeting. The board later approved and revised a new crisis plan which had to be submitted to the state immediately and they accepted the revisions of the school calendar. Other actions included: • approved fundraisers for the 2012-2012 school year

for the FFA and the FCCLA; • approve the 2012-2012 elementary and Jr/Sr high school parent/student handbooks; • approve textbook adoptions; • approve the Southern State Community College post-secondary course offering agreements for 20122013.

being stored at the school which were saved from the old buildings when they were torn down. “We still have some of the industrial kitchen equipment in storage,” she said, “and we would really like to get rid of it. We will have the items listed on the website gov.deals.com plus there is a link on our district website where community members can view the items for auction.” She added that it would be

RULH names Barry Sims as new board member BY Martha B. Jacob The Brown County Press Members of the RipleyUnion-Lewis-Huntington School District Board of Education entered directly into executive session at its August 21 board meeting and named Barry Sims as its newest member. The board was forced to find a new member after accepting the resignation of Rick Scott on August 5. Scott only recently took his place with the board in January, but on August 5, submitted his resignation to the board. He referenced a conflict with his personal duties as his reason. In his letter of resignation he said that the dedication of the board to RULH students was outstanding and that he had considered it a privilege to have worked with each of the members. The board interviewed five candidates for the position on the board, two of which had run for the position in November. The individuals under consideration also included Jay Castle, Ben Davis, Dan Kirk and Dr. Terry Thomas. The interviews lasted more than two and a half

hours before the unanimous decision was made to appoint Sims. Sims and his wife Jakki have a first grade child in the RULH school system. He is an employee of Pepsi and his wife is employed by Regional Southwestern Medical Center. “I have been interested in being on this board for a couple of years now,” Sims said in a phone interview. “I am so excited about being appointed to the board. “I’ve seen some real progress in our school district recently, and I am anxious to be a part of the system. Our kids education is extremely important and I want to do everything I can to be a crucial part of this team. “I believe things are only going to get better at RULH and I am happy to be a part of it.” Superintendent Charles Kimble admitted that he has known Mr. Sims for about 40 years. “He really is a good guy,” Kimble said, “he’s a real gentleman and he will be good for this district. I am pleased that the board picked him to fill this position.”

In other business at the meeting Jim Frazier, superintendent of the Brown County Governing Board of Educational Services met with the board to discuss the direction the board wanted him to take in regard to replacing board treasurer, Vivian Armour. In June this year, Armour informed the board that she plans to retire February 1, 2013. Armour has served as treasurer for 30 years and said she just feels like it’s time for a change. “I’ve loved my job at RULH,” Armour said, “but after 30 year, and many, many hours on the job, I think I’m due for a little relaxation. “I don’t have any definite plans right now, but if I do decide to go back to work somewhere it will only be part-time.” Armour said that the board will have no trouble finding someone to take her place because so many people are currently looking for work. Kimble added that the revenue generated from a recent auction by the school will be used to purchase a new van for the district.

a good opportunity for the community to purchase a small part of the old school. The district website is www.eb.k12.oh.us/. She told the board that the district facebook account is now up and operating. Filon said that the facebook account will not receive comments, but will be a means of informing students and parents of what’s happening in the district. Vern Creighton, board member and legislative liaison, updated the board on several bills that could effect Eastern. “Of course we’re all watching Senate Bill 316 very closely,” Creighton began, “But I’m also watching several other bills. There are currently 131 bills in the Senate and the House that could effect our district. HB 437 has changed, it now says that school busses can travel up to 1,000 miles out of state. That’s up from 150 miles. I’m not sure how that will effect us.” Creighton said he is also watching HB 143 and HB 543, but is not sure what there status is. He said one of the bills was for coaches, stating that they had to warn parents about the possibilities of concussion and other head injuries. “Coaches would have to have parents sign off on being informed about concussion and head injuries,” he added, “the other bill concerned staff training on suicide awareness and prevention.” Board treasurer Kevin Kendall told the board that because of a handicapped reimbursement, the district would now receive a 19% discount on insurance premiums instead of 11 %. The board approved an updated contract with the Brown County Educational Service Center which would add two new employees at an additional cost of $56,000 bringing the total to $457,000 annually.

West Nile Virus (WNV) is a potentially serious illness. Experts believe WNV is established as a seasonal epidemic in North America that flares up in the summer and continues into the fall. The easiest and best way to avoid WNV is to prevent mosquito bites. When you are outdoors, use insect repellant containing an EPA registered active ingredient. Follow the directions on the package. many mosquitoes are most active at dusk or dawn. Be sure to use the insect repellant and wear long sleeves and pants at these times or consider staying indoors during these hours. Make sur you have good screens on your windows and doors to keep mosquitoes out. Get rid of mosquito breeding sites by emptying standing water from flower pots, buckets and barrels. Change the water in pet dishes and replace water in bird baths weekly. Drill holes in tire swings so water drains out. Keep children’s wading pools empty and on their sides when they aren’t being used. Approximately 80 percent of people (4 out of 5) who are infected with WNV will not show any symptoms at all. Up to 20

GINA SPILLER, R.N. percent of the people who become infected have symptoms such as fever, headache, and body aches, nausea, vomiting and sometimes skin rash on the chest, stomach, and back. Symptoms can last for as short as a few days, though even healthy people have become sick for several weeks. About 1 in 150 people infected with WNV will develop severe illness. Most often WNV is spread by the bite of an infected mosquito. Mosquitoes become infected when they feed on infected birds. Infected mosquitoes can then spread WNV to humans and other animals when they bite. People typically develop symptoms between 3-14 days after they are bitten by the infected mosquito. There is no specific treatment for WNV infection. Prevention is the key to not becoming infected with WNV. For more information contact the Brown County Health Department at (937) 378-6892.

PROSPER In II Chronicles 26 we read about a king named Uzziah. He was a great king who reigned for 52 years. Verses 4-5 states: “And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father Amaziah did. And he sought God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding in the visions of God: and as long as he sought the LORD, God made him to prosper.” Notice the phrase: “...as long as he sought the LORD, God made him to prosper.” Understand, Uzziah did not make himself to prosper; God did! It is very important that you understand that as long as Uzziah sought the LORD, God made him to prosper. Prosperity does not always mean just money. If you have a home, a family, can pay your bills, you are healthy, and have a few bucks in the bank, you are doing pretty good; amen? But whatever level of prosperity you are at, it is going to be according to the LORD! Listen Christian, if you seek to prosper like the world, you will sooner or later fall flat on your face. Now if you are a phony Christian, you might be able to accomplish it. But if you are truly a born again Christian, you are not going to be able to do what the world does and get away with it. God will bring you down. If you want to prosper, really want to honestly prosper as a Christian, you must do it God’s way. God allows the world to prosper but He will not allow you to if you are not seeking Him. Money can be a terrible thing. People fight over it; it can break a family apart; it can cause people to covet and so on. But we got to have it! You can not get along without it. However, it should not control your life; it should not be your motivator. Nor should it be a stop sign that you can’t get beyond. When we need to do something as a church, money is not the criteria; the will of God is the criteria. It should be the same in your daily life. So if you want a sure fire way to prosper, here it is. It really works. Matthew 6:33: “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” That is the number one basis of prosperity for a Christian! But remember verse 5 of II Chronicles 26. It says: “...as long as he sought the

LORD, God made him to prosper.” If God wants you to prosper, He will make you to prosper; if He wants you to be poor, you are not going to be prosperous. It is that simple. Now Uzziah did what was right in the sight of the LORD and God made him to prosper. The Bible gives us some of the ways in which God made Uzziah to prosper. It tells us that he had victory over his enemies, he built towers in Jerusalem and fortified them; He dug wells and had cattle. He had husbandmen and vine dressers in the mountains and in Carmel for he loved husbandry. Moreover he had a host of fighting men; he had engines invented by cunning men to shoot arrows and great stones. And his fame spread far abroad. The Bible gives us this picture of Uzziah’s prosperity to allow us to see how prosperous he was, not only his personal prosperity but also the prosperity of the nation under his leadership. But, the Bible says: “But when he was strong, his heart was lifted up to his destruction: for he transgressed against the LORD his God..” That was his downfall. He developed leprosy and was a leper unto the day of his death. He prospered as long as he sought the LORD and no longer! If God makes you to prosper it will only be as long as you seek Him and no further. I have seen it happen over and over. As long as you seek the LORD, according to the Bible, God will make you prosper to whatever extent He feels you deserve to prosper. You leave the track and you will find out how much He can turn your prosperity around and how fast! Do not forget where your loyalty belongs. And that goes not only personally; it goes for a nation also. Put God first before our country and He will prosper it, do the reverse and He will put it down!

E V E N

teville-Perry Regional Sewer District will amend its incorporation papers to specifically include the St, Martin Sewer System. However, if the expected funding falls through, both sides say the issue will likely end up back before Gusweiler. The order addresses that possibility, stating “...if the FPRSD does not obtain the Federal Funding (COE-594) and the State of Ohio ARC (Appalachian Regional Commission) funding, then this Agreement is subject to further Order of the Court for the determination of liability for any non-funded portion of the sewer project.” “Our primary goal is to provide sewer service to St. Martin and Chatfield College without incurring additional debt”, said Fred Julian, Vice President of the FPRSD, in July. Geschwind said “We feel it’s in the best interest of the

county and of the citizens of St. Martin that we can come to an agreement and get that sewer system fixed.” Geschwind made those comments in July as well. The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency wants the system brought up to standards for disposal and treatment of waste, storm water and other factors. Last November, residents of St. Martin voted to disincorporate the village. Part of that process is disposing of any assets, which include the sewer system. By state law, Perry Township assumed authority over the land encompassing the former village of St. Martin, once the village legally dissolved. In a Complaint for Declaratory Judgement filed Feb. 27, St. Martin Village Solicitor Jay Cutrell asked Gusweiler to decide who takes responsibility for the sewer system.

The following information was provided to the Press by the Brown County Humane Society: Dog license fees will increase by $2 per tag for 2013, according to The Brown County Humane Society (BCHS) and The Brown County Commissioners. law (ORC Ohio 955.14) states the increase in fees shall be in increments of two dollars per individual license/ registration, and $10 increments per kennel license/registration.” Accordingly, the individual dog license/registration will be $12 and kennel license/registration will be $60, effective December 1, 2012.

“The increase is necessary,” said Jan Staubach, Brown County Humane Society, “due to rising costs of serving the community and the operation of the county Animal Shelter, and BCHS requested the Commissioners, by resolution, raise the fees.” The Animal Shelter receives no tax funding and all operating costs must be covered by the sale of dog licenses or adoptions. The last time the license fee was raised was in 2008, and costs have risen considerably since that time. The Humane Society operates two trucks to patrol the county and answer complaints about

dogs. Gasoline costs rose on average 11.9% just from 2010 to 2011 and have continued to climb since. The two wardens’ trucks travel the entire area of Brown County. Associated maintenance expenses have increased, and, by mid-year 2012, have already exceeded those for all of last year. Kennels at the Animal Shelter are in need of repair and maintenance. Without an increase in revenue, those necessary repairs would be postponed, possibly exposing employees and visitors to risk. Neighboring counties charge fees greater than Brown County for the

same services and the $2 and $10 increases will equal the license fees of Clinton and Highland Clermont Counties. County licensing fees would still exceed those of Brown County. 2013 individual dog licenses and kennel licenses go on sale at the Brown County Auditor’s office, the Brown County Animal Shelter, and satellite stations throughout the county on December 1, 2012 through the end of January 2013. After that date, a penalty equal to the license fee will be charged for any dog/kennel found unlicensed.

ment in July over responsibility for the outdated system for the former village. The agreement is contingent on the securing of federal and state funds to repair the system and bring it up to Ohio Environmental Protection Agency standards. According to Brown County Commissioner Bill Geschwind, the estimated cost for those repairs is $660,000. $345,000 will be coming from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and $80,000 is expected from the Appalachian Regional Commission. The Brown County Board of Commissioners has agreed to contribute $160,000 from the Brown County Sewer Fund. The remaining $75,000 will come from the Fayetteville-Perry Regional Sewer District.

Entry was filed August 14 by Common Pleas Judge Scott Gusweiler in the St. Martin sewer case, laying down rules for how to proceed in the matter. Among the stipulations of the order is the instruction from Gusweiler that the Fayetteville-Perry Regional Sewer District expand its service area “to include the unincorporated Northern Perry Township, Brown County area, previously known as the Village of St. Martin” and that the FPRSD “shall have jurisdiction to operate the wastewater collection system in and around the Village of St. Martin and as such, FPRSD may repair, install and improve the wastewater collection system in the Village of St. Martin, and assess the users of the sewer system as it deems appropriate...” The Brown County Commissioners and the FPRSD reached a settlement agree-

Moscow receives $10K donation from Duke Village wants to replace trees lost to March tornado BY Kristin Bednarski The Brown County Press Hundreds of large, mature trees were mangled and destroyed by the March 2 tornado that devastated the small village of Moscow. Village officials are now working to replace many of these trees, and on Aug. 7, Duke Energy presented village officials with a $10,000 check to use for tree replacement. “We are so grateful that Duke recognized the need for these trees,” Linda Carter, vice mayor of the village and chairman of the tree committee, said. “Because it really affects us.” Carter said the village lost nearly 200 trees during the tornado on villageowned property alone. “That’s not counting residents’ trees,” she said. Carter said the village was nicely wooded before the tornado. “They took out so many semi (trucks) full of mulch where they had ground up the trees,” Carter said. “You just can’t imagine unless you were watching.” Carter said replacing trees will help the town begin to look like normal again and said trees are important for more than just beauty. “It affects our temperature and our erosion and noise level,” Carter said. “It is a big difference.” Carter said replacing the trees is a difficult task, especially because many of the trees lost during the tornado were large, mature trees. “When you can lay across a stump you know how old they were,” she said about the trees. “It has just been a big loss. It would be a real boost in morale to have these big trees donated.” Carter said while they can’t replace the trees that took years and years to grow, they would still like to put in trees that are older than saplings and will make a difference in the village. “We are wanting (trees) two inches in diameter, six to eight feet tall,” she said. “Something that would make an impact now and in the spring.” Carter said the donation from Duke Energy will en-

able the village to get a good start on their tree replacement plan. “It meant so much to us,” Carter said about the donation. “We want to have a variety of trees in town. (The donation) means we can purchase the trees we don’t get.” Sally Thelen, spokesperson for Duke Energy, said many employees who work at the Zimmer Generating Station in Moscow also live or have family members who live in the village. “It’s important for us to give back to the community where we all live and work,” Thelen said. “We

think this is a great way to support them coming back and thriving again.” Thelen said they felt that the $10,000 donation was a significant amount to begin the effort of replacing hundreds of trees in the village. “To us the more we can make the village look like it did before March 2 we feel the community can begin the healing process,” Thelen said. Carter said the village is looking for more donations to continue the tree replacement. She said they would like to replace around 200 trees this year, and continue next year as

well. “We are trying to get enough donations to replace the street trees that will ultimately affect everyone,” Carter said. “We hope to have enough over that amount so we can give (trees) to people to plant on their property.” Carter said they are accepting both tree donations and monetary donations to fund the replacement trees. She said they are planning the first round of tree plantings for Sept. 13-15 in the village. To volunteer to help plant trees, or to make a donation, contact Susan Jones at (513) 553-4200.

Winchester Police make Burglary arrests The Winchester Police Department received a complaint and viable information from a concerned citizen of a suspicious green Pontiac Grand Am in the area of 19539 State Route 136 where this residence had broken into where copper pipe was taken. After a brief investigation two subjects were apprehended for the crime. They were Thomas Cook, 36, of West Union and Calvin Grooms, 18, of Seaman. Thomas Cook also at the time of apprehension also had an arrest warrant on indictment by the Winchester Police Department for Felony possession of Cocaine and Heroin. Suspects were brought back to the police department by officers and interviewed by Chief Caudill. After the conclusion of an extensive interrogation, both suspects confessed to breaking into the residence not once but twice and taking the copper items out of the residence. They were both taken to the Adams County Jail and charged with two counts of Felony Burglary.

Officer Mathew Nickolas was able to obtain video from security cameras at the locations where the subjects attempted to cash in the stolen copper. Additionally after a broadcast was put out by the Adams County Sheriff’s at Chief Caudill’s request. Deputy Estep of the Adams County Sheriff’s Office while off duty located the suspects at the food court in Mt. Orab and made contact with the Mt. Orab Police to detain the suspects. Chief Caudill and his officers went to pick up the suspects at that location. Upon arrival, it was discovered that the car and all of the tools that were used in the crime were at the location as well, and were taken into evidence. The Winchester Police Department would like to thank the Adams County Sheriff’s Office along with Deputy Estep, Mt. Orab Police Department, Sardinia Recycling and the concerned citizens for their assisted efforts in the apprehension of these offenders.

The Georgetown Thursday Farmers’ Market has added three new vendors, one selling herbs, jams and jellies, one with bushels of green beans (does $25.00 a bushel sound cheap?) and one with mounds of freshly picked sweet corn. The large quantities of fresh vegetables at low prices are an invitation to canners, freezers and preservers to buy at the market. Of course, those with a sweet tooth may still enjoy freshly baked blackberry cake, chocolate muffins, peanut bars, zucchini bread, cookies, cheese bread and many other treats. There are also fresh farm eggs for sale, and many varieties of canned pickles, salsa and preserves. All produce, including watermelons and cantaloupe are Ohio raised; no imports are allowed. There are also unusual varieties of familiar vegetables, shown here is the beautiful trombo n cino squash, similar to zucchini, but with no seeds to speak of. Visit the Market on Thursday from 3 - 7 p.m. in front of the "BOB" lot, on South Main just north of State Route 125.

Liso sentenced to ten years in prison after rape conviction CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 The statement read “My children have been stripped of their youth. They have been violated. I’m scared to let them out of my sight in fear that there are more men out there like him (Liso). I am scared at how this is going to affect them for the rest of their lives. I don’t feel they will ever be the same. It’s been traumatizing, emo-

tional and stressful. With his picture being in the paper, if there is anyone else that James Liso has raped, hopefully they will be able to come forward with it. James only got 10 years in prison, but for my children and family, it is a life sentence. We need to get all rapists off the street. Children are losing their innocence all the time, and usually from the people we

all have trusted.” Liso was also ordered to register as a Tier III sex offender, which means he must keep his address updated with local law enforcement where he lives after getting out of prison. Liso was also barred from living with or around minor children or getting a job where he might come in contact with them.

Sardinia mayor sets meeting about fire district proposal CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Bumbalough said the issue is not personal, but it is important that a decision be made that is best for everyone in the community. “This isn’t an issue of right or wrong or good or bad,” he added. “But this does mean we could lose control of our fire department. And worst case scenario, if the district goes bust, it will all come back on us.” Bumbalough told council that Sardinia’s fire department has shown a surplus for several years and has not bought any new equipment for over three years. In other business at the meeting, in the absence of Sardinia Police Chief Jim Lewis, Officer Mike Dearing gave an update to council on activities in his department. Dearing reported that 43 tickets with 49 violations were issued, seven of which were for drugs. Eight reports were taken. “Chief Lewis and I recently attended an all day ‘Amber Alert Conference in Columbus,” Officer Dearing said. “They reviewed more information about the criteria needed before issuing an Amber Alert. “We also learned more about alerts for missing

children and senior citizens alerts as well as flu alerts. Flu alerts are issued when a police officer has been injured or killed, or in a hostage situation and the suspect has not been apprehended.” Councilman Bill North asked Dearing what kinds of problems his department was seeing the most of in Sardinia. Dearing said a lot of DUI cases and underage drinking had been reported, but rather than charging the underage drivers, they were having their vehicles towed so they couldn’t drive. Dearing also said that a new drug issue was showing up in the village where people were mixing meth with heroin and shooting up. He said that the “spice” problem was still an issue but the problem with bath salts had slowed down. Village Administrator Tim Mock reported that the water leak in the black top in Sardinia (reported at the last council meeting) had been found and repaired. He said the hole he found was no bigger than an ink-pen point so the village had not lost much water. Mock said that he had recently been contacted by Cahall Brothers, Inc. in Georgetown. Cahall’s still had an old John Deere trac-

tor that belonged to the village that needed $2,400 in repairs. “To be honest, I had forgotten about that old tractor,” Mock said, “I knew $2,400 is more than the old tractor is worth. It’s been there for over two years and probably isn’t good for much of anything other than parts. Cahall’s wanted to know what we want to do with it.” Mock told council that an employee at Unger Construction offered to trade it for a Simplicity riding mower. The mower is valued at about $350. Council gave Mock permission to do what he thought was best for the village. Cutrell asked for approval by council on several replatts and the ‘vacate of an alley’ in the village which all received approval. Also approved by council was the purchase of a new computer for Patty Reifenberger, Mayor’s Court clerk. Council held its first reading of an ordinance to charge new rates for the purchase of burial plots and to open or close a plot. The new rates will be set at 75% of the revenue going to the cemetery and 25% going to the perpetual care fund.

view on August 22. He continued “We have three resignations (Police Chief Clark Gast, Sprague and Jones), water rates to discuss, lawsuits flying around and everything else. We haven’t met in over a month and it’s ridiculous to set a meeting where we can’t talk about any of that.” Castle echoed those sentiments, saying in an August 22 telephone interview that “the mayor is using special meetings to censor public input regarding the decision to stop work on the water plant in the village.” “People in the village are asking questions about the water plant that some on council don’t want to answer”, he continued. “They deserve a chance to ask those questions, and I will not attend a council meeting until they are given that opportunity.” Foxworthy said in a telephone interview on Aug. 22 that a regular meeting of the Aberdeen Village Council was “tentatively set” for September 4. He added that he did not intend to schedule any special meetings before that time and that he had no public comment on the opinions of Castle or Applegate. The timing of the meeting will have an effect on who will decide Sprague’s replacement on council. If an individual leaves a village council, Ohio law says that the village coun-

cil must appoint a replacement within 30 days. If a council fails to act within a 30 day period, the decision falls to the Mayor. Sprague resignation was effective on Aug. 4. The Aug. 6 regular meeting of the Aberdeen Village Council was cancelled due to security concerns, and if council does not meet until Sept. 4, that timeframe will exceed 30 days. That would mean the decision on Sprague’s replacement would fall to Foxworthy alone. The August meeting was cancelled by Foxworthy after a threat to council members Billie Eitel and Jason Phillips was posted on the topix.com website over the weekend of August 4 and 5. The threat has since been removed, but it was provided to the Press by Eitel. Spelling errors in the post have not been corrected. It read; “I wish someone wearing an orange wig would go to the Aberdine

council meeting with an AR-15 ands Billy Idol should be first then stupid Jason Phillips next. With those 2 out, things might improve.” The reference to the orange wig brings to mind James Homes, who was seen in court in Aurora, CO, with orange hair. Holmes is charged with multiple murders after allegedly opening fire in a movie theater on July 20. An AR-15 is a semi-automatic rifle similar to a military M-16. Foxworthy said he contacted the Department of Homeland Security when notified about the threat, and was advised to take it seriously and cancel the meeting. Foxworthy asked the Brown County Sheriff’s Office to investigate the threat, and Brown County Sheriff’s Office Chief Deputy John Schadle confirmed that the Sheriff’s Office is still investigating the issue.

Animal Shelter gas chamber removed CMYK

By Martha Jacob The Brown County Press As many as 500 dogs a year, up until 2011, were euthanized in the gas chamber located at the Brown County Animal Shelter in Georgetown. But thanks to the efforts of the many volunteers at the Brown County Humane Society and the Brown County Commissioners, this week, the old gas chamber was dismantled and hauled away, according to humane society volunteer Jan Staubach. “In February, 2009 alone, that chamber was used to put down 104 dogs,” Staubach said. “In February 2011, the commissioners entered into an agreement with the humane society to discontinue using, but not removing the chamber. We at the humane society accepted responsibility for arranging transport of any dogs to a veterinarian for humane euthanasia when necessary.” Staubach said that in November the 2011 commissioners entered into an operating agreement with the humane society to assume management of the shelter. “Earlier this month the commissioners agreed to allow us to destroy the chamber,” she added. “There are commercially manufactured gas chambers on the market, but this one at the animal shelter was a deteriorating homemade device with no guarantee of efficiency. Even our employees expressed some concerns about their own safety during its use.” Staubach went on to

commend the commissioners for taking the steps forward to have the old chamber removed. She said the chamber was nothing more than a sad reminder of so many lost lives and it occupied valuable space at the animal shelter that can now be used for other things. “Of the 88 counties in Ohio,” she said, “only eight are still being utilizing gas chambers for destroying unwanted animals. “It’s been a great week here at the shelter watching each day as more and more of the old chamber came crashing down and hauled out of here.” The Brown County Animal Shelter, located at 100 Veterans Blvd. in Georgetown has a site on facebook which highlights every dog at the shelter along with a picture. For more information about the current dogs at the shelter call (937) 378-3457.

Young Bronco golfers hope to put it together BY Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press When the Western Brown golf team opened its season on Tuesday afternoon, just one of the six golfers preparing to tee off at Friendly Meadows Golf Course played on varsity a year ago for the Broncos. Just senior Brad Hamblen, the Broncos No. 1 golfer, was in the Broncos top six lineup for coach Dave Bickett on last year’s senior-heavy team. With each of the remaining eight golfers on the Broncos roster having limited or no experience on the links as a varsity player, Bickett thinks it’s going to take everybody on the team outside of Hamblen a little time to get comfortable. “He’s the captain. He has the most varsity experience,” Bickett said of Hamblen. He continued, “Everybody else does not have much experience. It’s gonna be a learning experience for them.” In their first varsity experience of the 2012 season on Tuesday against Southern Buckeye ConferenceAmerican Division foe Bethel-Tate, the Broncos lack of experience was on

Hamblen was the low man for the Broncos as he shot a 42. “Playing in their first match, the Broncos struggled as five of the Bronco golfers have little varsity experience,” Bickett said of the loss to Bethel. “I expect the team to play better as they get more experience.” Bickett prediction proved to be correct as the Broncos improved some in their second match of the season on Wednesday. The Broncos shot a 193 to beat both Georgetown (198) and Clermont Northeastern (203) at Cedar Trace Golf Course. The wins improved the Broncos to 2-1 on the season. Once again it was Hamblen leading the way. The senior shot a team low 45. Fellow senior Dustin Canter added a 47. With Hamblen entrenched as the team’s No. 1 golfer, the final five spots were up for grabs as the Broncos prepared for this season.

Eastern golfers look to continue improvement

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

This was the year that Eastern golf coach Jason Hauck had hoped his Warrior golfers would take the next step. He had hoped that the Warriors would be able to break through and finish in the top three of the Southern Hills League. Reaching that goal has become a little harder, however, as the Warriors have taken a little longer than he had hoped to get rolling. Eastern has started the season off with six straight losses. “This was my year of anticipation,” Hauck said. “I thought we’d be really solid but we’ve started off really slow.” This was the year that Hauck had been planning towards because many of the players who he has coached the past couple of seasons are going into their final year on the links. The Warriors have eight seniors on their 14 person roster. Throughout their first week and a half on local golf courses, however, many of those 14 players have struggled to shoot the numbers they had hoped to. During their season opening tri-match loss to Lynchburg-Clay and Ripley at White Oak Golf Course on Aug. 15, the Warriors shot a 201 compared to Ripley’s 185 and Lynchburg’s 188. That match did uncover a trend that has continued through each of their first five matches -- the strong play of sophomore Grant McIntosh. He led the Warriors with a 43 in the season opening match. Seniors Austin Williams (49), Lane Lynch (53) and Shelby Mullins and Blake Frye (56) rounded out the scoring in the Warriors first match. McIntosh continued his strong play the next day in another tri-match against two more SHL foes. In a tri-match with Lynchburg-Clay and Whiteoak on Aug. 16, McIntosh and Williams each shot a team best 48 as Eastern shot a 202 in the loss. Lynchburg shot a 170 that day while Whiteoak shot a 187. Lynch added a 51 and Maria Johnson a 55 to round out the Warriors scoring in their second match. But the play of the youngster McIntosh has been a bright spot so far this season and has impressed Hauck. In fact, he’s seen enough that he decided to move McIntosh up to the Warriors No. 1 spot in their lineup. “Grant was my No. 3 but

has played well enough to move up,” Hauck said. “I’m excited about his future.” McIntosh’s play has helped Hauck set up his top four golfers for the foreseeable future. Lynch has moved into the No. 2 position while Williams has slid into the No. 3 spot and senior Brett Fisher has been entrenched in the fourth spot. “Getting a consistent top four would give me what I was looking for,” Hauck explained. “With a top four, I can get others experience in the other two spots. It’s what I’m going to have to do to have success this year.” The new lineup found some success on Tuesday afternoon as the Warriors shot their best round of the young season against Ripley at Hilltop Golf Course. Though they lost 180184, the Blue Jays improved their score by 17 strokes from their play the previous week. “We played very, very well,” a pleased Hauck said of the second Ripley match. “We just have to build on it.” McIntosh and Williams each shot a 42, which was good enough to earn comedalist honors for the duo. Senior Megan Staggs and junior David Kieffer each added a 50 to round out the scoring on the Warriors best day on the links so far this young season. Staggs and Kieffer are

apart of big group of golfers that Hauck has at his disposal for the final two sports in the Warriors lineup each day. Right now, Hauck is using a rotation schedule to make sure everyone is given an opportunity to play in one of the spots. The players playing getting an opportunity in the final two spots right now are seniors Frye, Johnson, Mullins, Staggs and Blake Reis; juniors Kieffer, Nick Holbrook and Mathew Poettker; and sophomore Dylan Black. Each player except for freshman Austin Doss, who has been busy as a member of the Eastern soccer team, has played at least once so far this season. The Warriors may be off to a slow start but Hauck is hopeful they can reach finish at least in the top five in the league after their performance on Tuesday against Ripley. But he knows it will be no easy task. “There are no teams that can run away with it right now,” he said. “It’s gonna be difficult. We could finish anywhere from seventh all the way to third the way it’s looking. It all depends on how we play.” Whatever the outcome, however, Hauck is still enjoying what he does with a team he really enjoys to work with. “I really enjoy this group of kids,” he said. “They are a super, super group.”

In what has become the race track’s signature event, the Sixth Annual Ike Moler Memorial Race -- featuring a 50 lap Late Model Division feature event -- had quite the turnout of cars and fans at the racetrack for the event. There were 34 late models on hand, which meant a lot of good cars would not even make the race. Included among those not qualifying for the race was former winner Eddie Carrier Jr., who would received a provisional but was unable to start due to car problems. Wayne Chinn started the night off by taking the top spot in the single lap qualifications as he turned in a 12.504 lap. The Fast Car Dash was next and Greg Johnson held off the field to take the win and set the first three rows of the feature event. In what turned out to be exciting heat race action, Justin Rattliff took home a jam-packed first heat while brothers Rod and RJ Conley would take home the second and third heats. Scott James and John Whitney, Jr. claimed the two lone qualifying positions in the feature race in the 12-lap last chance event. Early in the 50-lap feature event, it looked as if ‘Wildthang’ Greg Johnson would claim his second career Ike Moler championship as he would lead the first 23 laps before a blown tire would ruin his evening. Steve Casebolt jumped up front on a lap 24 restart with Chad Stapleton right behind him but most of the eyes were on Dillan

Steve Casebolt won the Sixth Annual ‘Ike’ Moler Memorial Race last Friday night at Moler Raceway Park.

White, who started in 16th spot and had worked his way up to eighth on the restart before he would quickly join the top five runners. A caution on lap 33 would bunch the field yet again but Casebolt would stay out front with Stapleton in second position and White and RJ Conley battling for fourth spot. In the end, however, there was no stopping Casebolt as he would continue to pull away from the field and etch his name in the record book as the sixth winner of the Ike Moler Memorial Event and take home the $5,000 paycheck. Stapleton would come home second with RJ Conley getting past White for third position and Robby Hensley coming home in fifth spot. As always, the Holman Motors UMP Modified Division didn’t disappoint as the 20-lap feature event would feature the top two cars running side-by-side for the entire distance of the race. From the drop of the green, Jeremie Bretz was out front with Doug Adkins racing right with him on the high side. The two

drivers would trade the lead back and forth throughout the race despite a few minor cautions slowing the pace. A restart on lap 15 set the stage for an exciting finish as Devin Gilpin had charged to third spot from his 16th starting position, igniting a three car battle. But in the end Adkins was able to inch out front and take his second feature victory of the 2012 season. Bretz would come home in second with Gilpin, Weasel Rhoades and Derrick Davis rounding out the top five spots. Miles Tarvin lead all 15 laps of the Holman Motors Chevette Division race and it was Miles Tarvin leading all 15 laps as he raced into victory lane for the first time since early in the season. Points leader Rusty Yarger would come home second with Josh Francis, Boog Verdon and Jim Hunt rounding out the top five spots. The Molers would like to thank everyone for coming out and making the race in honor of the late Victor “Ike” Moler, along with the four generations who have followed him, such a huge success.

Broncos: Young golfers try to improve CONTINUED FROM PAGE 13 position is Colten Baker, another sophomore. Both players have quite a bit of ability but, without the experience, are working to find a consistent level of play when they hit the links. “The two of them have the ability to play the game,” Bickett said. “It’s just a matter of them figuring it out.” The final three positions in the Broncos lineup are up for grabs. Juniors Cain Schneider and Caleb Taylor along with Canter got the first opportunity to show what they can do against Bethel. But Bickett said he would work in the other three players on the roster - freshman Abby Boggs and Joe Rose as well as sophomore Tim Lanham -- during upcoming matches to give them an opportunity to

show what they can do. While they are working hard to improve and get the experience they need, Bickett thinks his team can compete this season. But he isn’t quite sure they’ll be able to catch New Richmond. The Lions return four All-League golfers from a team that won the league tournament by 42 strokes over Amelia and by 150 over the third place Broncos. “As always, our hope is to capture the SBC. Being realistic, we’re really going to have to buckle down and play outstanding golf to stay with New Richmond,” Bickett said. “Staying close to them and taking second place (is the goal).” He added, “With this group of kids, with the inexperience, that would be a good season.”

Deep, experienced Lady Rockets hungry for more BY Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press Sharon Sheets feels like she is in a pretty good position. The Fayetteville volleyball coach heads into the upcoming year with a plethora of talent that hopes to return to the top of the Southern Hills League and bring home the school’s first volleyball sectional crown. But it’s not just that Sheets’ Lady Rockets team will have talent this year, it’s that they will have experienced talent. And a lot of it. The Lady Rockets have six returning players who saw extensive time on a team that reached the Southwest District Division III sectional final before coming up short in addition to a deep roster -- they have 22 players including eight experienced juniors -- that will allow Sheets the luxury of players she can go to on the bench that won’t be much of a drop off, if at all, from the players on the floor. She feels so good about the construction of the team and how they’ve practice and scrimmaged so far that she feels this has the potential to be one of the best teams of her tenure at the school. “We’re deep in all positions. What I feel is deep,” Sheet said. “(It’s) probably the best kind of team I’ve pulled together here in years. I’m just hoping it all pans out.” And it’s not that the Lady Rockets are only deep at one position. They are deep at many positions.

During the team’s scrimmages this preseason, Sheets said her players haven’t gotten comfortable yet with any position because she has been able to

try so many different lineups. But it’s not just that there is depth, it’s that many of them gained a lot of experience last year as they played through the growing pains before putting it together at the end and making a run to the sectional final. “It’s gonna be key... knowing that they’ve already been out on the varsity level and up against some good teams,” Sheets said. “The maturity will be there. The team comraderie is already set.” With returning hitters Gabby Valentine, Claire Carson, Carly Burroughs and Lincoln Smyth, Sheets is confident enough in any of them that she said she could simply close her eyes and pick one at random and know they will get the job done. She knows to be able to utilize those hitters, however, her team will have to pass the ball. “We’re gonna have to pass well. Since we’ve got the hitters, we’ve got to have the passes,” Sheets said. “We’ve gotta start our offense off with good passes. I think communication’s there (and) I think hustle’s there it just that we

have got to get that pass off to run our offense and get a good hit off.” Helping set up their offense is returning setter Sydney Sheets. Sharon Sheets looks for her to be the key to getting the Lady Rocket offense going. If they are able to pass the ball, the Lady Rockets will be a deep, talented and determined bunch. They’ve set their goals high: not only do to they want to get their SHL small school division title back -last year ended a two year streak of conference titles - but they want to get that first sectional title after being so close a year ago. Needless to say, Sheets is confident that can happen. “I already told them there is no reason why you cannot establish goals and meet those goals and the goals I have for you,” she said. “They want league. They got to take one game at a time and hopefully it goes our way. For the most part, I’m confident in what I have and what they’re putting out.” The Lady Rockets are: Seniors: Morgan Hizer and Samantha Julian. Juniors: Sydney Sheets, Gabby Valentine, Claire Carson, Sydney Wolfer, McKenna Hammons, Tessa Cofrancesco, Tirzah Thompson and Whitney Boothby. Sophomores: Carly Burroughs, Lincoln Smyth, Emily Burroughs, Emma Allen, Allyson Schaefer and Mariah Hazelbaker. Freshman: Emmalee Richey, Megan Koch, Kira Hood, Corinne Strong, Sarah Young and Marian Confracesco.

Youthful Lady Warriors have potential for strong season BY Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press The Eastern volleyball team isn’t going to have a ton of experience when they step on the court for the first time this season on Aug. 25. Eastern returns just three players who got varsity experience a year ago and has only one senior on its roster. But that doesn’t matter much to Eastern coach Carmela Reeves. The third-year Lady Warriors coach is quite confident that her group has the ability to compete at a high level on the court this season despite whatever experience concerns there seems to be. “It is young, however, I think there’s a lot of experience yet and great potential there,” Reeves said of her squad. “They’ve all been playing several years.” Eastern may lack in varsity experience but Reeves doesn’t look for that to be a problem. She feels her younger players all have plenty of ability and that her three returners -- senior Jennifer Durbin, junior Carina Reeves and sophomore Shelby Cowdrey -- will lead the way as the team comes together. “Those three returners are strong leaders and are

great motivators within the team,” Reeves said. “They’re coming together. They’re gelling. The whole team, I think, is gonna do well. They have great potential.” It’s not that Reeves

thinks that the younger players and newcomers just have potential based on their athletic ability and what they’ve shown in practice, she saw just how well they can play last year. Outside of the three returners, the rest of the players on the Lady Warriors roster this year composed last year’s successful junior varsity team. “The others played straight JV but we had a strong JV team last year,” Reeves said. “I really see some strengths coming and a lot of improvement, even, from last year. I have great confidence in what they’re about to do this year.” To harness that potential and ability that she knows her team has and put it to good use, Reeves believes her players will have to

band together and play strong team defense. She believes if they do that, it will set them up for success. “We’re focusing on team defense. That’s really where we’re at,” Reeve said. “Well, there is no offense without a defense in volleyball. So that’s where we’re targeting.” Coming off of a second place finish in the big school division of the Southern Hills League a year ago, Reeves is confident this group will be able to compete again. But they will have their hands full with a strong group in the division, headed by Peebles. “I think we’ll be competitive,” she said. “I think, probably, the standout in the league will be Peebles this year because I think they had a young team last year and they were strong. I think they have a couple more years of that.” The Lady Warriors are: Senior: Jennifer Durbin. Juniors: Vanessa Balas, Savannah Newman and Carina Reeves. Sophomores: Shelby Cowdrey, Angela Cox, Jordan Dawson, Kansas Castle-White, Desiree Dietmeyer and Hannah Dotson. Freshman: Vanessa Corboy, Regan Inlow, Kara Overstake, Vanessa Rose and Jessica Tolle.

Lady Broncos blend of youth and experience ready to go BY Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press There will be some fairly significant changes for the Western Brown volleyball team this season. The Lady Broncos are coming off of a strong 20-3 season that saw them run through the Southern Buckeye Conference-American Division undefeated en route to a title and advance to the Southwest District Division II sectional final before falling to an undefeated Wyoming squad. But gone from last year’s team are four players who earned First or Second Team SBC-A honors, including SBC-A Player of the Year Ashleigh Huiet. Lady Broncos secondyear coach Carla Fite, however, is quite confident in this year’s squad despite their departures. Much of that confidence is based upon how well she believes her six newcomers have blended in with her six talented, experienced players. “I have a lot of confidence in the team that I have this year,” Fite said. “They all know their roles. They know what I expect out of them on the court. So far they’ve done a great job and I don’t think they’re going to disappoint.” Having to replace Huiet, the team’s libero a year ago, as well as Elizabeth Carter, last year’s setter, was the toughest part of replacing last year’s talented group of seniors.

Stepping up to fill Huiet’s shoes as libero will be senior Abby Hall. Combining to fill Carter’s will be juniors Leah Leist and Shelby Cummins. So far, Fite has liked what she’s seen so far from the trio and looks for them

to comfortably fill their roles. In addition to her duties as setter, however, Fite feels like Leist has taken on an even bigger role -- being a leader on the court. Leist, a team captain, has taken over for Huiet in that role. Though not quite as vocal, Leist is very good at keeping her teammates calm and collected. “She’s the calmest out there on the court and, kind of, keeps the team together when there’s a lot of pressure,” Fite said. The trio of Hall, Leist and Cummins will have plenty of help as they move into their new roles thanks to three returning players at the net. Seniors Kylie Garrett and Becca DeBord as well as sophomore Mackaela Fischer return to provide the Lady Broncos their strength at net on both the outside and in the middle. “Becca and Mackaela are both strong blockers

and, I would say, Kylie and Mackaela are definitely going to be are strongest go-to hitters,” Fite said. The Lady Broncos have a strong group of returners back with Leist, Garrett, DeBord, Fischer, Hall and senior Hannah Nuhn but they will also have to rely on several younger players who round out the roster. The six newcomers all have experience at the junior varsity level but not much at the varsity level. Fite doesn’t look for that to be a problem, though, as they have worked through early troubles to get to the strong position they feel they are currently in. “You know, it was kind of a slow start. When we first made teams you could tell that there was a lot of work getting comfortable with each other,” Fite said. “But I think they definitely have got a lot more comfortable with each other on the court.” As defending champions of the SBC-A, Fite knows everyone in a conference full of solid teams will be coming for them. She thinks as long as they bring it every night, however, they’ll be okay. The Lady Broncos are: Seniors: Abby Hall, Kylie Garrett, Becca DeBord and Hannah Nuhn. Juniors: Raven Darnall, Leah Leist, Sydney Gibson, Kasey York, Kristen York, Shelby Cummins and Morgan Nickell. Sophomore: Mackaela Fischer.

Lady G-Men ‘trying to get over that hump’ this year BY Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press While the Georgetown volleyball team may be fairly young and inexperienced this season, they will have one fairly significant asset on their side -- team chemistry. Though having to replace three key seniors on a team that was right in the thick of the tough Southern Buckeye Conference-National Division race will be no easy task, Lady G-Men coach Donna DeVries is confident that that combination of returning players and young players will work together well enough to be successful this season. “I’m looking for a good season,” DeVries said. “I think this team plays very well together. They seem to gel a lot better than teams in the past so I’m looking forward to that as far them playing well together.” While they are working well together so far on the young season, DeVries is still tinkering to figure out the final composition of her team. Georgetown returns five players who saw at least some time on varsity last year, including seniors Jesse Kidwell, Kaelyn Jordan and Paige Luck, but will have to try and replace graduated seniors Cecelia Schwartz, Whitney Kistler and Emily Pittman. Outside of this year’s trio of seniors and junior Meranda Sullivan, half of the Lady G-Men’s eight

girl roster will either be young or will have little experience at the varsity level. Or both. A fourth senior who was expected to play a big part in this season, Abbi West, hurt her knee in May and won’t be able to play this

season. “I do have some younger girls who are stepping up right now. Of course, experience is a big thing,” DeVries said. “As we do our scrimmages right now, I’m trying to figure out where everybody fits right now.” The Lady G-Men will not only be young but will lack much height. Much of the height that they do have belongs to the team’s three seniors. The trio are also the team’s best hitters. But given what else two of the three seniors bring to the table, it isn’t much of a surprise that they will need Kidwell and Jordan to play well for the Lady G-Men to find success. “Jesse and Kaelyn (have) got to come at the net,” DeVries said. “They are also key players in the middle. They play my defense in the middle. They’re my hitters plus my defense players. Those two really have to have a good

game for us to be successful.” The senior trio may have to play well for the G-Men to find success but DeVries has plenty of confidence in their ability. She believes if her team can pass well, her seniors will finish at the net. Returning sophomore setter Morgan Gast and junior setter Allison Kistler, who played junior varsity last year, will be relied upon to set up the Lady G-Men’s passing. It’s something DeVries thinks they’ll be able to do just fine. If they are able to get that to come together, which DeVries feels pretty strongly that they can, she feels pretty good about their chances to reach their specific goals. They simply want to put something on the volleyball banner that hangs in the school gym. “They’re just trying to improve our game to that next notch. Trying to get over that hump so maybe we have a chance at the league this year,” DeVries said. “Of course our goal over the past four years is to get a number on the wall. As you can see, we have nothing on volleyball.” The Lady G-Men are: Seniors: Jessica Kidwell, Kaelyn Jordan and Paige Luck. Juniors: Hannah Lillich, Meranda Sullivan and Allison Kistler. Sophomores: Ally Dowd and Morgan Gast.

BY Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press Things haven’t exactly gone as planned for the Ripley volleyball team as they prepare for the 2012 season. Though they are coming off a 2011 season that was, at times, a struggle, the Lady Jays didn’t have a senior on their roster a year ago. They were in position to have a roster this season that was made up almost entirely of last year’s players who all got valuable experience along the way. Things haven’t worked out quite as planned for the

Lady Jays, however. Situations have arose that have kept several Lady Jay players from a year ago from being able to take part this year. So as it sits now, the Lady Jays have just six varsity players this season, three of whom will also being playing soccer. Needless to say, it has taken it’s toll on Lady Jays coach Aimee Carpenter as she tries to piece together a roster. “It feels like there’s one thing after another just... I’m losing kids left and right,” Carpenter said. “I don’t think it’s sunk it for

(the players) yet. I think in the season -- if we can avoid injuries because if injuries start happening we’re really hurting -- hopefully

they’re not gonna notice it.” Things may seem to be working against them but the Lady Jays do have positives to build upon. They do return the six

varsity players, all of whom were regular varsity players a year ago. Returning for the Lady Jays are seniors Olivia Kendrick, Morgan Wright, Kaleigh Eastwood and Kody Gilkerson, junior Kelci Bowling and sophomore Morgan Bahnsen. But three returners -Gilkerson, Bowling and Bahnsen -- also play soccer. They will split their time with each team and play in every match and soccer game. Staying that busy, however, will keep them from practicing much with the volleyball team once

school starts. That obviously makes things even tougher for Carpenter. “You don’t do a lot of offense (and) defense work because you don’t have all your players,” she said of practicing. “It’s very difficult.” Obviously, much will be expected of the returners since they make up the entire varsity-only roster. Freshman, of which there are seven on the 16 girl roster, and sophomores will help out on the bench. Carpenter believes the returners, specifically the dual sport athletes, can be successful despite an ex-

tended work load with such a small roster because they are good athletes who have put in the work. But each will have to give all they have every night if they want to improve upon last year with just six players. That will, undoubtably, be a big reason they win or lose but Carpenter doesn’t look for it to be the key to being successful. “I think the biggest thing is just, like I said, is working on keeping themselves up,” she said. “They really tend, you can just see it, a couple points go bad and CONTINUED ON PAGE 26

Local organizations looking for educational programs and materials on health and nutrition, family relations, and personal finance need to knock on only one door: that of the Brown County office of Ohio State University Extension. "OSU Extension's family and consumer sciences program did a statewide survey of 310 organizations earlier this year and found that some did not realize the wide range of topics we offer," said Amy Habig, family and consumer sciences educator for Adams, Brown, and Highland Counties. For example, the FCS Program serving Adams, Brown, and Highland Counties will offer programs like: • Home food preservation • Dining with Diabetes • Food Safety In addition, Extension materials on related topics are available through: • Ohioline (http://ohioline.osu.edu), which offers free OSU Extension fact sheets and publications on a variety of topics. • eStore (http://estore. osu-extension.org/), which offers for-sale publications from OSU Extension. • eXtension (http://www. extension.org), which offers research-based resources from Extension professionals at land-

grant universities nationwide, including Ohio State. As part of the landgrant system, OSU Extension offers programs on a wide variety of other topics, including agriculture, natural resources, and gardening; 4-H youth development; and community development. But it's often the family and consumer sciences area that hits home with Ohio residents, said Keith Smith, director of OSU Extension and the Gist Chair in Extension Education and Leadership at Ohio State University. "Our family and consumer sciences programs help Ohioans learn how to apply research-based information in their daily lives to make informed choices about everything from finances to healthy families to food safety," Smith said. "OSU Extension's theme is 'Empowerment through Education,' and that's exactly what our programs do for Ohio's families every day."

Creature Feature Your Pet and Dental Hygiene Cats & Dogs seldom develop tooth cavities, as humans do. However dogs and cats are not without a major dental problem! In fact, the most common dental problem that we find in pets is considered far worse than cavities! It is called periodontal disease. This disease affects the gums and other tissues around the teeth, instead of the teeth themselves. About 75% of all dental problems serious enough to be seen by a veterinarian, (and almost all teeth lost), are the result of periodontal disease. It is the cause of 95% of all cases of “bad breath.” In advanced cases, it results in infected, foul-smelling, loosened teeth; with a massive, unsightly accumulation of tartar. Often there is a loss of appetite due to painful gums. Even signs such as diarrhea, vomiting, and irritability may be the result of this disease. Food material, bacteria, and saliva accumulate and adhere to the tooth surface, forming a soft “plaque.” This material can be easily removed at this point. However, if buildup is allowed to continue, it becomes hard and “chalk-like” from its mineral content. The tartar buildup causes erosion of the gums, with subsequent inflammation and

DAN MEAKIN CREATURE FEATURE

infection of the tooth socket. The teeth then become loose, and may even fall out. The gums become reddened, swollen, and bleed easily. Your pet will often salivate excessively from the associated pain. The buildup of this material allows bacteria to constantly grow in the infected mouth tissue. These bacteria may enter the bloodstream through the bleeding gums; and cause such problems as heart valve infections (endocarditic) and kidney infections. This condition becomes very painful for your pet and will cause unpleasant mouth odor. Rapid buildup of tartar is primarily due to acidity of the saliva--not what your pet eats! The more acid the saliva (‘spit’)--the quicker the buildup of plaque. Follow these tips for good oral hygiene: • Feed at least some hard food, which will provide a cleaning action. Prescription Diet t/d is available for both dogs and cats and can be used as a treat every day. Friskies now has an adult

cat food available at the grocery store to help keep teeth clean. • Have teeth examined at least once every year for tartar buildup. Pets vary considerably in the amount of tartar that accumulates. • Use a pet dentifrice on a regular basis. We will be happy to recommend what is best for your pet. CET Chews are available for both dogs and cats. Pet toothpaste is available. Human toothpaste should not be used as it can be toxic if swallowed by your pet. These recommendations will probably do more to extend your pet’s life and make it more enjoyable than anything else you can do! DENTAL CARE PROTOCOL • As a practice we feel that pets need preventative dental care. • Dental disease is one of the most neglected pet health needs. • Puppies and kittens can become accustomed to proper dental care by periodic brushing. • Halitosis (bad smelling breath) is an obvious sign of dental disease. • Dental disease will shorten a pet’s life. • Periodontal disease is the most common in older dogs and cats. • A dental exam is an important part of every physical. • Older pets (over 5 years old) should in general receive a dental exam every year and should have blood work done before sedation. • Feline or canine T/D diet can help prevent the incidence of dental disease in pets. • Daily to biweekly brushing is the most effective prevention. • You can add 2 years to a pet’s life simply by keeping its mouth clean. A dental prophy for every pet can reduce pain from an infected mouth and bad breath. Dental care will save money in the future by helping prevent heart/kidney infections and possible human health hazards (kids placing hands in eyes after touching the pet’s mouth).

An anecdote is basically a story. It often starts out something like “I know a person who….”. For instance “I knew a girl who wanted to get a tan before her wedding and so went to a tanning salon, she fell asleep in the bed and the timer had broken and she ended up with second degree burns and had to postpone her wedding and …” you get the idea. Anecdotal evidence is therefore evidence of something being true based on that one person’s experience. In general, the scientific community views anecdotal evidence with disdain. It is viewed as the type of evidence given for the existence of ghosts, big foot, or even those oh-so-convincing chain letters. Yeah, remember them? Part of the reason it is viewed with such ill regard is because anecdotal evidence can be very compelling. Back in the day before e-mail when people would write to each other on pieces of paper and mail them using stamps and envelopes, there were these things called chain letters. A chain letter would tell you to make numerous copies of it and mail them to a bunch of other people. The letter would usually include a story about a person who broke the chain and would then describe all the terrible things (you know like her mother died, her dog ran away, and she got a big zit in the middle of her forehead) and that all happened to her

HEALTH MATTERS TOM CALLAHAN, RPH because she broke the chain. Rather than risk incurring the same bad luck people would make copies of the letter and mail them out. Another form of anecdotal evidence would be the testimonial. If you’re near my age you’ll surely remember the ads in the comic books for the Charles Atlas Program where you too could be like Charles Atlas and transform yourself from a 97-pound weakling to a muscle man hulk. Nowadays, Jared is a celebrity because Subway wants you to believe you can lose weight by eating a 12 inch veggie delight at Subway. To get an idea of how anecdotal evidence is important in medicine, let’s look at two different scenarios. Scenario one: You go to the doctor and spend twenty minutes discussing your medical situation with him. And after careful consideration he decides to write you a prescription for a drug called XYZ. You get the prescription filled and then later that night you mention to your neighbor that the doctor decided to start you on XYZ. She tells you how terrible that drug is because both her brothers were on that same medicine and within one year they both

had heart attacks. How likely are you to go ahead and start taking that drug? Scenario two: Pretend you are a physician and a new drug comes out. You read up on it and decide to try it on two of your patients. If both of them have terrible side effects from the drug how likely are you to try it on another patient? How about if both of the first two patients have wonderful results? We are hard-wired to learn from the experiences of others, which is a good thing for humans as a species. If one person made a mistake, the rest of the tribe could learn from that mistake and as a group we got smarter. Unfortunately, in the modern world that means it’s easy for advertisers to take advantage of us by using testimonials. Also, in medicine we have to be aware of our natural inclination to put our faith in too small of a sample size. What happens to one or two people just isn’t representative of what will happen to thousands. In other words, if I flip a coin twice and it comes up heads both times, that doesn’t mean it will always come up heads. Tom Callahan is a pharmacist, he lives in the Milford area.

Mercy Health helps employees advance careers, works with schools Mercy Health, which provides quality care with compassion in your neighborhood, is helping its employees advance their careers in healthcare through a partnership with the Health Careers Collaborative of Greater Cincinnati (HCC), part of the wider Partners for a Competitive Workforce Initiative. Mercy Health employees in good standing interested in healthcare careers may qualify to start associate degree programs in Allied Health and Nursing. Facing a shortage of qualified healthcare employees nearly 10 years ago, Cincinnati State Technical and Community College, Great Oaks Career Campuses, Cincinnati Children’s Hospital & Medical Center and UC Health founded the HCC to collaborate on education and career advancement for entry-level incumbent employees. In addition to the founding partners, HCC membership today includes Gateway Community College, Miami University, Mercy Neighborhood Ministries, Dress for Success Cincinnati and Super Jobs, all of whom collectively served over 1,100 participants pursuing training and career advancement in healthcare in 2011. “We have outstanding, entry-level employees in a host of roles, including environmental and dietary services and security. Some of these employees have demonstrated that they are eager and ready for the opportunity to begin degree programs in allied health and nursing,” said Maggie Lund, divisional senior vice president of Human Resources for Mercy Health. “Thanks to our partnership with the collaborative, a career in these areas can now be the ultimate goal of these employees’ professional development plans.” The collaborative program supports these students every step of the way. A mobile laptop lab helps students acquire crucial basic education and technology skills before they start school as they work through an eightmonth long “School At Work” curriculum. This year, Mercy Health will enroll 10 School at Work participants in the program, which provides aca-

demic enrichment and career exploration to employees aspiring to enter an associate degree program in the future. Once in the degree program, advisors help students understand and meet school requirements. Prepaid tuition, advance course registration and individualized educational and career advising ease the transition into continuing education. Cohorts of students move through degree programs together, creating an instant peer support network. “These are flexible, part-time degree programs to accommodate the needs

of working adults,” notes Blanche Smith, retention specialist for Mercy Health. “The reaction from employees has been great! We currently have four employees who will enroll in Allied Health associate degree programs at Cincinnati State in September and have begun recruiting employees interested in entering the Nursing cohort in January.” Mercy Health now offers the careers program at The Jewish Hospital – Mercy Health and will expand the program to its other hospitals and facilities in the coming months

Tobacco Field Day Scheduled This year has been a year of peaks and valleys. Many producers were able to get crops out early with warm weather that turned off dry. Many cases the early crop has suffered because of the weather that came just at the wrong time. As I have mentioned before, the corn that was planted early appears to be the biggest issue followed by pasture issues. Most pastures have recovered nicely, but as I type this pastures could use another shot of water before long. The hay crop was made early, and some of the second cutting grass hay has been made that a month ago did not seem possible. So, while hay is not abundant, it seems to be less of an issue than I thought it might be a few weeks ago. If you are looking to buy or sell hay the Ohio Department of Agriculture has a website that might come in handy to you. The address is: http://www.agri.ohio.gov/ HayDirectory/ I can tell you that there is very little hay listed at this time in Ohio. While some crops are not great the later corn appears to be pretty good, but the soybeans look to be outstanding. I attended a local field day that had several soybean producers in attendance. When soybean yields were mentioned, there were many smiles. The July rains that covered

DAVID DUGAN the Tri-County area, and most of Southern Ohio, came a great time for soybeans. Many, many pods are found on most plants that are waist high to chest high and the plants are still blooming. This could very well be a bumper crop, with really favorable prices for the soybean producers this year. That brings me to the tobacco crop. Coming off of two years that were extreme at market time with 2010 being a nightmare due to poor weather after the crop was harvested that caused very poor curing conditions, and then 2011 that was outstanding. The 2012 verdict is still out. The crop looks pretty good from the windshield. In fact, the fields that I have been in look good up close. Very little disease pressure for the most part. Maybe some late problems, but nothing major due to the dryer conditions. With that said, we do have some field demonstrations to look at on Tuesday, September 4 in Georgetown. The location will be at the Scott Farm located on US 68 between the Carter Lumber and the Equipment Super Store beginning at 6:30 p.m.

Please call the Brown Co. Office at 378-6716 to register for this free program. We will have fertility trials looking at different nitrogen fertilizers with and without nitrogen stabilizers, sucker control with and without MH products as we look at options for reducing MH residues, some insecticide trials with new products to reduce damage from budworms, aphids and hornworms, plus the use of fungicides. Fair Time When we talk fair time in the OSU Extension Offices we are normally talking about Jr. Fair. The Jr. Fair consisting of 4-H, FFA and other youth organizations, exhibit projects during the fair. The Adams County Fair has come and gone for 2012, but not without great support for our youth by local businesses at the fair during shows and the sale. In the next month both Highland and Brown County youth will on display with their projects at the county fair. From time to time I have people ask about participating in the Jr. Fair Sales. The sales in Highland County will be on Wednesday night (Sept. 5) at 6 p.m. for the Hogs and Goats, on Thursday (Sept. 6) at 1 p.m. for Poultry and Rabbits and on Friday (Sept. 7) at 6 p.m. for the Steers, Feeder Calves, Lambs, and Butter.

A geological walk through time BY Faye Mahaffey Master Gardner Volunteer Have you ever wondered exactly what is under your feet? The new Geo Walk is a permanent exhibit in the Ohio Department of Natural Resources Park at the Ohio State Fairgrounds and is thought to be the world’s largest state bedrock map and honors the 175th Anniversary of the Ohio Geological Survey. The Geo Walk was originally intended for the front yard of the Ohio Governor’s Residence because the Heritage Garden, the state’s official botanical garden of native plants, displays the varied ecosystems in the state. The difference between 8000 and 800,000 yearly visitors gave the planning committee, chaired by former First Lady of Ohio, Hope Taft, a great reason to move the permanent exhibit to the fairgrounds. Ohio’s geology is closely tied to the states’ economic, architectural, industrial and agricultural history and future. Ohio’s bedrock has supplied sandstone fro grindstones, limestone for monuments and buildings (including the Ohio State House) and roadway materials. This 286-foot-long ADA accessible brick path gives visitors the opportunity to time- travel millions of years back in time to “see” Ohio’s geological past. The walk is meant to be touched, climbed on, and experienced viscerally; it gives its travelers the opportunity to step on, among other things, 360 millionyear old sandstone and 318 million-year old hunks of coal. Dale Gnidovec, curator, Orton Geological Museum,

who helped create the exhibit shares that it may come as a shock to some to learn that what is now squarely in the heartland was, millions of years ago, located 20 degrees south of the equator and that water covered most of the state! The Ohio limestone that is a prominent component of many of the state’s monuments and public buildings was formed from the remains of seashells from that water. A highlight of the Geo Walk exhibit is the large geological bedrock map that shows all of Ohio’s 88 counties. Visitors can stand on the map, find their home county and discover what’s beneath the surface of their own back yards and under their town’s main streets. Visitors will find everything they might want to know as they follow the pathway, through plenty of informational signage throughout and posted URL codes. The project is the brainchild of former First Lady of Ohio, Hope Taft, and made possible by a number of individuals and groups, mostly volunteers, who wished to share the state’s amazing geological story with others. It is privately funded through statewide monetary and in-kind donations to the Friends of the Ohio Governor’s Residence and Heritage Garden. Can’t make it to the Geo Walk exhibit? You might consider a drive along U.S. Route 23! Michael C. Hansen created a guide to the geology starting in Columbus and ending in Portsmouth. U.S. Route 23 is a major north-south highway that traverses an area noted for its diversity of geologic features, scenic at-

tractions, and historic sites. For more information about this guide (Educational Leaflet No. 11), contact the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. Why should gardeners care about geology? Soil composition depends on bedrock and glacial geology. We all know that some plants prefer acid soils; others prefer that their roots be surrounded by alkaline soils. That is where bedrock geology comes into play. Believe it or not, over time rock crumbles or erodes away into soil and gives it pH characteristics. Limestone produces alkaline soils, and sandstone produces more acid soils. So looking at the state’s bedrock map can give the gardener a clue to what type of plants will do well in their backyard. Want to learn more about your soil? Why not consider becoming a Master Gardener Volunteer? Classes will begin on October 9 and will meet on Tuesdays and Thursdays (10:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m.) ending on November 29. If you would like more information about the classes please call the Ohio State University Extension Office – Brown County at 937-378-6716. Tomatoes, Sweet Corn, Cabbage, Peppers, Onions, Okra, and Beets are being harvested and processed for storage. Pickled beets and Chili Sauce are on the “to do” list for Monday.

Mercy Health appoints Julie Workman, MD, Medical Director of Palliative Care Services Anyone who has ever faced a serious or lifethreatening illness - or cared for someone who has - knows how difficult and challenging that situation is for everyone involved. Patients and their family and friends likely have questions about pain relief options and courses of treatment or need help with the physical, psychosocial, spiritual aspects of the illness. Recognizing the need to answer those questions and provide that assistance, Mercy Health, which provides quality care with compassion in your neighborhood, has appointed Mercy Health Physician Julie Workman, MD, as Medical Director of Palliative Care Services. Palliative care is a philosophy of care that aims to improve the quality of life for patients and their families facing problems associated with serious or life threatening illness. While hospice care provides care for patients during the last six months of their lives and includes therapies for symptom management and comfort care only, palliative care begins much earlier and is available while the patient is still receiving life prolonging or life-saving therapies. Palliative care also includes consultation services that work in collaboration with services provided by hospital physicians and the patient’s primary care physician. “People with chronic or progressive illnesses need comprehensive, compassionate care throughout the course of their illness,” said Workman. “Palliative care plans focus on what is most important to the patient and patient’s family during this vulnerable time. It is one additional way to support these patients, many of whom have years to live and will continue to benefit from disease-modifying therapy.” Workman’s team offers palliative care through a

Georgetown farmers market features watermelons

Everyone Benefits!

Hundreds of locally grown watermelons made an impressive showing at the Georgetown Farmers' Market on South Main Street last week and will continue every week from now on! Ranging in price from a dollar to six dollars, depending on size, they were matched only by the beautiful OHIO muskmelons offered by several vendors. Anyone who thinks these melons can’t be successfully grown in our state has another think coming! In addition the market proudly offers homegrown leeks, kale, kohlrabi, garlic, tromboncino, patty pan, zucchini and yellow squash, hot and sweet peppers, red and white potatoes (little ones too, good paired with green beans) green, yellow and purple beans, and tons of tomatoes and corn. Excellent homemade pies, cakes, muffins, breads, German chocolate brownies, cookies and fudge are also available, along with canned corn relish, Icebox pickles, pickled beets and salsa. The market is scheduled every Thursday from 3 to 7 p.m. “Drive through” and park on the street next to the vendors or in the BOB lot just behind the vendors.

Good reasons why it pays to support your local business.

1. 2. 3.

Think about all the school carnivals and fund-raising events during the year. Local businesses throughout our area contribute thousands of dollars in money, services and merchandise to help make them successful.

When you spend money with local shops and businesses, you help those businesses grow and prosper. Successful businesses stay around for a long time and help share the tax load for government services.

HUFF

When you shop locally, you help yourself and all of us! Find everything you need in your own backyard, travel fewer miles & save time and gas, to boot!

changes to Medicare such as the new Medicare deductibles, co-pay, and coinsurance amounts; Medicare Advantage and Part D plan options for 2013, and about financial assistance programs. Attendees should bring their prescriptions drugs list with dosages and preferred pharmacy, and information on retirement coverage, Veteran’s Administration (VA) or other medical care benefits they receive. Taylor asks Ohioans to watch for predatory sales practices during annual enrollment. Insurance agents are prohibited from using high pressure sales tactics, conducting door-to-door sales for Medicare Advantage plans, and representing themselves as being from Medicare. People who pose to be agents can also use similar tactics. If you feel victimized, get as much information as possible and call the Department’s fraud and enforcement hotline at 1800-686-1527. Those with Medicare questions and in need enrollment assistance, including financial assistance, can call OSHIIP at 1-800-686-1578, Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., or Medicare at 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800633-4227), 24 hours-a-day, seven days-a-week.

Ohio Lieutenant Governor and Department of Insurance Director Mary Taylor announced the Department’s Ohio Senior Health Insurance Information Program (OSHIIP) is holding free “Medicare Check-up” events in every county to coincide with Medicare’s Oct. 15 to Dec. 7 annual enrollment period. The sessions are intended to help people review changes to Medicare and determine their best coverage option for 2013. The first Check-up events start in late August and new coverage begins Jan. 1. OSHIIP recently celebrated its 20th anniversary as Medicare’s designated educational program in Ohio for beneficiaries, family members and health care professionals. “Determining the appropriate Medicare coverage should be done with the help of a family member or a knowledgeable and trusted advisor such as a representative from our OSHIIP program,” Taylor said. “This should be a careful, deliberate process so you secure a plan that best meets your health-

care needs and budget.” In addition to the Checkup events, people can call OSHIIP at 1-800-686-1578 with questions, and for enrollment assistance (beginning Oct. 15). A special Department Medicare Checkup and Open Enrollment Toolkit, which includes a list of plans (to be announced in Oct.), financial assistance information, and an events schedule, is available at www.insurance.ohio.gov. You can also like and follow OSHIIP on Facebook at www.facebook.com/OSHIIP. During annual enrollment, beneficiaries can select one of several health coverage options: 1) Original Medicare paired with a stand-alone Part D prescription drug plan and perhaps a Medicare Supplement plan. 2) A Medicare Advantage Plan, which provides comprehensive health benefits including drug coverage. 3) Or, determine if their existing coverage will meet their health insurance needs for the upcoming year. When reviewing plan options, Taylor said to consider the convenience of being able to use pharmacies near where you work or live, to take into account all out-of-pocket expenses, and ensure a plan’s covered drug list includes your prescriptions. At the events, beneficiaries can learn about recent

Breanna Williams prepares to boot the ball up the field to push the Eastern attack last Saturday morning.

snatch a soft Hillsboro shot to end the threat as the game headed towards halftime scoreless. With the Lady Indians keeping possession for much of the half, and game, the Lady Warriors defense had to be on their toes at all times. For the most part, they did a bang up job. “They were just getting crammed the whole time,” Koehler said of her defense. “I had to ask a lot out of them today.” Despite the resistance from the Eastern defense, the Lady Indians perseverance on the attack finally paid off as the second half got underway. The Lady Indians scored three goals in the first 13:16 of the second half as they found themselves with a few good opportunities and finished. Though mostly a coincidence, all three goals came while freshman keeper Morgan Holden was in the game. Koehler inserted Holden in the lineup at the half to give her some varsity experience. But on two of the three goals, off a corner and a run by a Hillsboro forward, there wasn’t much she could have done. “She’s done extremely

B R O A D S H E E T

Sarah Koehler was able to find one positive in the aftermath of her Eastern girls soccer team’s season opening 3-0 loss to Hillsboro last Saturday morning. She figured that her Lady Warriors, a group of youngsters and veterans still trying to gel, could learn some valuable lessons they can use down the road. Against the strong Lady Indians squad, the Lady Warriors struggled to find, and keep, possession much of the morning. The visitors from Hillsboro not only possessed the ball for much of the first 60 minutes but when they finally but they made their flurry of goals early in the second half stand up for the win. Basically, it was a learning experience for a Lady Warrior team still working to find out what works best. “Seeing what we need to work on,” Koehler said of what good she could take out of the game. “We need to support each other a little more in our midfield, being able to get up and down the field to support our offense and help

well in all of our scrimmages,” Koehler said of her freshman keeper. “I think she was nervous and once they got that first goal -- we didn’t mark up on the back post and they got it in -- I think her confidence just went down. But I told her, it has to get through 10 people before it gets to her.” Eastern would eventu-

ally weather the storm and actually turn things around. For much of the final 15 or 20 minutes, the Lady Warriors possessed the ball much better and began to make attacks. They had several good looks at shots on goals and began to play a little closer to how Koehler hoped they would from the start.

Not coincidently, at least in Koehler’s mind, was it closer to noon than it was 10 a.m. “I think they finally woke up,” she said. “We’re not a morning team. It takes them a while to get woken up and we were finally ready to go at 12 minutes to go, which was too little (and) to late.”

Lady Jays; Hope to overcome obstacles to find success on the court CONTINUED FROM PAGE 15 you can see it in their faces and in their body actions. “They get very down very quickly. We’re trying to, kind of, counter that right now. We’re trying to work on that right now. What we’re gonna do as far as telling each other good job, telling each other nice try (and) coming together as a huddle.” Though there is plenty going up against them -- in-

cluding a lack of height that Carpenter feels is the biggest concern they have on the court -- Carpenter has raised the level of intensity of their practices and added new team rules to help turn things around. “Expectations are higher,” Carpenter said. “I think what that means as far as league goes, expectations are higher all around.
