Court keeps Sheriff’s file sealed BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press
The Ohio 12th District Court of Appeals ruled on July 25 that it will not unseal the 2003 criminal case of Brown County Sheriff Dwayne Wenninger. The court upheld the decision made by Common Pleas Court Judge Scott Gusweiler in December of 2013. Attorney Thomas Eagle, who filed the motion to unseal the case on behalf of Joe Podolsky, said of the ruling, “We are considering options for requesting further review, but no decisions have been made at this time.” Podolsky has the option of asking the Ohio Supreme
Court to review the decision of the appeals court. In other legal news regarding Wenninger, Gusweiler dismissed his motion on July 24 that the Brown County Commissioners pay his attorney fees. Wenninger was not present for a court-ordered mediation of the matter, so Gusweiler dismissed the case. Wenninger can refile the motion if he chooses. Podolsky characterized his motion as a taxpayer’s action to recover the salary paid to Wenninger because of his alleged inability to legally serve as Sheriff. The court rejected that argument. Another argument re-
Aberdeen voters to decide water fate BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press
Pay another two dollars a month for water or cost the village millions of dollars. Aberdeen Fiscal Officer Nathan Pfeffer said that is the choice facing village voters on August 5 when they decide whether to allow the sale of the water system to the Brown County Rural Water Association. “The consequences of the water system not selling are dire”, Pfeffer said. “Right now the EPA has us in violation of several issues. Voting to accept the contract with Brown County Rural Water would solve those issues because the EPA will waive those violations and we start with a clean slate.” Pfeffer said that if the vote fails, the village would also still owe Shinn Brothers for the aborted construction of a water plant. “The Shinn Brothers lawsuit is still hanging over our heads. If this vote passes, that lawsuit is behind us. If it fails, we have until December 31st to raise half a million dollars to pay it off”, he said.
State law requires that the sale of a village owned utility be approved by voters. Pfeffer said that the Ohio EPA considers the Aberdeen water plant inadequate in a number of ways, including storage capacity, water pressure and the number of wells supplying the system. “If the vote fails, then we remain in EPA violation and would have to hire an engineer immediately to come in and evaluate the system”, Pfeffer said. “We need a new water tower, new lines, a new well and a new water plant if the vote fails. The total cost for that would be about $2.5 million dollars.” Pfeffer said that the money would have to be raised with an additional tax assessment on property in the village. “It could mean a potential five thousand to ten thousand dollar bill added to real estate taxes until the project is paid off”, Pfeffer said. He added that the village would have to take immediate action if the vote fails. “If the people vote no, there will be a special counCONTINUED ON PAGE 9
Unemployment rises, but stays at fourteen year low
BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press
The June unemployment numbers for Brown County are a mixed bag. The rate rose .4 percent to 6.1 percent, but the rate is the lowest in 14 years for the month of June. The last time the jobless rate in Brown County was below 6.1 percent was in 2001 when it hit 5.4 percent. The jobless rate also rose in surrounding counties. Adams County saw an increase of .8 percent, rising to 7.8 percent. Highland County saw an increase of .6 percent to 6.9 percent, Clinton County

saw an increase of .5 percent to 7.2 percent and Clermont County saw an increase of .4 percent to 5.1 percent. The jobless rate also rose in southwest Ohio and the state in general. In the Cincinnati Metropolitan Statistical Area, which includes Butler, Brown, Clermont, Montgomery and Warren counties, the unemployment rate rose in June to 5.3 percent from 4.9 percent in May. Statewide, the jobless rate rose to 5.9 percent from 5.3 percent. Monroe County had the highest unemployment rate in the state at 11.7 percent. That rate is also the only one in the state in double digits. The second highest rate in Ohio for June was in Meigs County at 8.9 percent, followed by Pike County at 8.7 percent, Morgan County at 8.6 percent and Scioto County at 8.3 percent. The lowest unemployment rate in Ohio for June was 3.3 percent in Mercer County. The 6.1 percent jobless rate for Brown County was the 34th highest in the state.
jected by the court was Podolsky’s claim that the case file is a public record. “Once court records are properly sealed, they cease to be public records and the basis for public access to the records does not exist”, wrote the court. The court also pointed out that the original trial was open to the public and covered by the media. The court also wrote that it would be improper to have someone with a sealed record have to relitigate the sealing every time a different individual requested it. “Neither a new burden of proof nor a rebalancing of the opposing interests arises whenever one seeks to access sealed records. To
adopt appellant’s argument would result in endless litigation with no finality to a court’s order sealing records”, wrote the justices. Finally the court addressed the argument that special circumstances existed in the case because Wenninger was qualified to hold public office. “These same circumstances existed at the time the court records were ordered sealed and certainly entered into the balancing test conducted by Judge Ringland when he sealed the records”, wrote the justices. The two sides argued their case before Gusweiler last November. Wenninger was charged with knowingly falsifying

charges are first degree felonies. The assault charges stem from Donohoo’s apprehension by Mt. Orab police following the third robbery in February. Mount Orab Police Chief Bryan Mount said at the time
that Donohoo had just committed his third pharmacy robbery in when he was spotted on State Route 32 by Mt. Orab Police Officer Jason Hahn. Mount said that Donohoo pulled over, but then decided he wanted to run.
“Once they got him stopped, he took off again. He then turned onto Bodman off of 32 and hit Lt. Black’s vehicle and then attempted to drive over the top of Officer Hahn. At that point Hahn

Aberdeen Police to hold first “Night Out at the Park” BY Martha B. Jacob The Brown County Press
B R O A D S H E E T E V E N
The Village of Aberdeen’s Police Department has launched a campaign to unite the kids in the community with police officers, according to Ptl. Josh Miller and Aberdeen Chief of Police Brandon Swayne. “We’ve set up a special account called the“Police for Kids Fund, with a goal of raising money,” Ptl. Miller said. “The funds will be used exclusively for events for our young people here in Aberdeen. “On Friday evening, August 8 our department will hold an event called ‘A Night Out at the Park’. Our department will be showing a free movie in the Aberdeen Park at dark. But we’ve got a lot of special things going on in the park that day beginning at 6 p.m.” Miller said the event will include free popcorn and drinks to all the kids as well as other games and things

the kids of all ages will enjoy. Aberdeen Mayor Jason Phillips said that he and council strongly endorse the upcoming event at the park and he is looking forward to it himself. “All our emergency vehicles will be on display for the kids to see,” Miller said. “We are also going to have a
chance to win $50 at the balloon bust. Darts will be sold for $5 each, and if their dart hits the balloon and bursts it, they will win $50. Every penny we earn from this event will go into our Police for Kids Fund. We are hopeful that this year, our department can take part in the ‘Shop With a Cop”program that the other departments in
Brown County have become involved in.” Ptl. Miller said that there is currently a national campaign called the “National Night Out”, which is traditionally held on the first Tuesday of August across America. The celebration’s theme is to fight against crime by creating understanding and to promote involvement in crime prevention activities, policecommunity partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie in the fight for a safer nation. “Our police department has had some serious issues in the past couple of years,” Miller said, “but that’s all behind us now. We have new people, new faces and our number one goal is to mend those broken fences and show our kids and our community that we are here for them. “This Night Out at the Park is just the beginning for uniting our families.” The movie, which is yet
to be named, will be family friendly and the police are hopeful for a good turnout. “We can guarantee everyone who attends, that this will be a fun event for everyone who comes out and is only the beginning of good things to come to Aberdeen.”
The Aberdeen Police Department now has a site on facebook which is kept current and easily accessible. Ptl. Miller can be reached at (937) 795-2214. Anyone interested in setting up a vendor’s site, contact Miller at the same number.

Construction began last week in Sardinia for running village water and sewer lines under Highway 32 which will open up the north side of the village. In July 2013, the Village of Sardinia announced that 25 acres of land, next to Matthews Road, had been purchased by local resident Jeff Wilson for the purpose of building a new strip mall on the property, located across from the Sardinia Church of Christ. The venture, however, was dependent on having access to water and sewer. “Once we have water and sewer under 32, it will open up that end of town to a lot of new businesses,” Sardinia Mayor Todd Bumbalough said. Bumbalough worked with Mike McCarty, McCarty and Associates for several months, and surveying was completed on the project on Monday, July 14, 2014. “We have worked with the Ohio Water Development Authority and applied for and received a loan for $195,133 at an interest rate of 2%” Bumbalough said, “We were very happy about that. Then last week, after working with Dallas Hurt, with Conners & Company,

Funding is in place and construction has now begun to run water and sewer under Highway 32 on the north end of the Village of Sardinia. Access to water and sewer will open up the area to new businesses.
Inc. council struck a deal where his company will take over an existing loan that the village has had since 2006 and has offered us a much better deal. We will go from paying 4.79% interest to a consolidated loan with Conners & Company paying about a 2% interest.” In order to help pay back the loan, the village raised its water rates to residents by approximately $4 a month beginning in September this year. Village Administrator Tim Mock said the increase will go a long way towards paying back the loans.
“We’re all very excited about this new growth in our village,” Mock said. “We are in the process of annexing that entire area around Matthews Road into the village. That will give us more control over the growth of the area. “Right now, the Ohio Department of Transportation ODOT) is not wanting to give Mr. Wilson the entry way he wants onto his property off of Matthews Road. But hopefully, if the village can annex that section, we will be able to assure him access.” Mock said that there are a lot of possibilities for that
area of town once water and sewer are made available. He said there is talk that a large housing complex is being considered for the Kay Road area, behind the proposed strip mall. A senior living facility and town houses are also being considered for the new area. “Our solicitor, Jay Cutrell is working on a very skeleton zoning plan for the village,” Mock added. “We don’t plan on making strict zoning issues, just enough to distinguish between commercial and residential. This is all happening now, and we look forward to all this progress.”
Happy Birthday Papaw and I hope it is your happiest Birthday EVER! Love Ya, Oliver

MOFD upgrades ambulance BY Martha B. Jacob The Brown County Press
A brand new, fully equipped ambulance can cost anywhere from $140,000 to $260,000. But rather than purchase a new ambulance, the Mt. Orab Fire Department chose to upgrade its 2007 Braun Chief XL unit, according to Mt. Orab Fire Chief Lisa Reeves. “Earlier this year the 2007 Braun Chief XL ambulance had to be taken out of service because of major mechanical problems,” Reeves said. “It was out of commission for about a month. The issue had to be fixed before we could put it back in service for emergency operations.” Reeves explained that at the time the ambulance was taken out of service it had approximately 104,000 miles on it. “The 104,000 miles wasn’t the real problem with the ambulance,” Reeves added. “The unit had 5500 hours of operation on it because of the hours the units often have

to sit and run.” Reeves said that Mt. Orab Firefighter Lieutenant Cory Sloas who is in charge of vehicle maintenance, was instrumental in finding a place to make the upgrades and see that everything on the am-
bulance was upgraded. Lt. Sloas said the ambulance was purchased in 2007 new. All the work was done by 911 Fleet and Fire Equipment in Northern Kentucky.
Lt. Sloas said that the motor and transmission were both replaced with new ones. Also replaced was: • two failed alternators; • the starter; • heating and cooling system was flushed and repaired; • lighting in the patient and storage compartments was upgraded; • chips in the paint were repaired and buffed; • had new decals applied; • had Chevron striping placed on the back of the unit; • door latches and other miscellaneous items were replaced. Mt. Orab Mayor, Bruce Lunsford said the cost of the upgrades was approximately $45,000 which saved the village a lot of money. According to Chief Reeves, with all the repairs and upgrades made to the unit she anticipates the unit lasting another five years or another 100,000 miles.

Methuselah, PETA, and a little wine
BY George Brown Contributor
Not long ago I heard a British scientist on the radio discussing the possibility of people living for hundreds of years, maybe even thousands. He believes this will become possible as miraculous breakthroughs in medical science continue to occur over the coming decades. As I listened I couldn’t help but think of Methuselah who, according to the book of Genesis, lived to the good old age of 969. The good book doesn’t say how long Mrs. Methuselah lived, but given that women usually outlive men I wouldn’t be at all surprised to learn that Mrs. M made it to 1,002. We don’t know what finally brought about Methuselah’s demise but I am guessing it was old age. And to think, had he lived just 7 more years he could have spent a year touring the world by sea with his grandson, Noah, and his family. It surely was a different time. Adam lived to be 930, Seth lived to 912, and Noah, after surviving the flood, lived to see his 950th birthday. That’s a heck of a lot of
candles, to say nothing of trying to blow them all out with one breath. The more I thought on these things the more I wanted to know why people are lucky to reach 90 today, let alone 900. I decided to do some research. I can’t begin to share all that I discovered but here is the basic story. Apparently the germs, bacteria, and diseases that cause us to pass on today did not exist in Methuselah and Noah’s day. What is evident from reading the book of Genesis is this. Within a few years of the flood waters receding people began dying at a younger and younger age, until Abraham and his descendants were lucky if they lived to see three score and ten. I can’t say for sure but there seems to have been a correlation between this precipitous decline in lifespan among the descendants of Noah and their consumption of meat. You can’t blame them for eating meat. For some period of time after the flood broccoli, brussel sprouts, rutabaga and other vegetables were in short supply so it only made since to eat what was handy namely the animals that had

been saved on the ark. You can be sure it didn’t take long for Noah’s children and grandchildren to figure out that hamburgers and fried chicken were mouthwatering and finger licking good. I can just hear Noah’s great-great-greatgreat-great grandchildren (remember, he did live to be 950), as they bounced along in the back of his donkey cart. “Grandpa, can we please stop at the Pearly Gates for chicken nuggets?” (Later, much later, a fellow named Kroc would franchise the business, and in the interest of keeping the biblical theme would nickname his hamburger stands the Golden Arches.) Cooking and eating meat for fun and flavor quickly caught on, but as the span of life steadily declined a small group of Noah’s descendants reverted to eating only fruits and vegetables in hopes of regaining the longevity that had been enjoyed by their forefathers and foremothers. This green lifestyle made them feel somehow superior to their meat eating relatives so they decided to distinguish themselves by adopting the name VEGANS. Through my research I discovered this was an acronym that stood for “Vegetarians Eating Grass, Artichokes, Nuts, and Spaghetti.” The meat eaters were not nearly as uptight about dietary practices as the VEGANS, but to be good sports they decided to adopt a name for themselves. There was much debate and various names were considered such as the “Baconators” and the “ShishKabobs”, but in the end they decided to simply call themselves “People Eating Tasty Animals”, which was quickly shortened to “PETA”. Imagine the chagrin if they had known a future generation of VEGANS
would alter the words to the PETA acronym in order to promote the protection of animals instead of the joy of eating them. Times do change. But over the millennia one thing hasn’t changed, man’s (and woman’s) love for wine. From my research I can report with some certainty that the first record of grapes being fermented and consumed as a beverage can be traced back to Noah. In addition to planting broccoli and other vegetables after the flood, Noah and his sons wasted no time in planting a vineyard. To me this suggests they were already familiar with grapes and their various derivatives, like raisins, grape flavored gum, and, of course, wine. They seemed to have been anxious to have some wine with their meals, as a healthy alternative to goat’s milk and water. The Apostle Paul, being a scholar of the Torah, took note of this and even admonished his young friend, Timothy, to drink less water and replace it with wine. “Stop drinking only water and have a little wine for your stomach’s sake”, he told Timothy. Now that’s advice I can live by. Given Noah’s proclivity to wine (you can read the not so pretty details for yourself in Genesis chapter 9), one cannot help but wonder if his great (x seven) grandparents experimented with making hard cider using apples from their favorite tree. But that’s a story for another time and will require a great deal of research to be sure I get the facts straight. For now I’ll just say, I subscribe to the tenets of PETA, with a good glass of Merlot on the side for my stomach’s sake. George Brown is a freelance writer.

Last month, Governor Kasich signed into law House Bill 488, legislation that significantly and positively benefits servicemen and women. The bill allows such individuals to gain college or vocational credit from military training and experience. Each and every day the men and women in the United States Armed Forces receive diverse and detailed training. This training not only prepares them for their military career, but also provides them with plentiful skills that can be valuable for their future outside of the military. The instruction they acquire in the military has never been transferable into educational credits until the passage of this bill. House Bill 488 provides more opportunities for our servicemen and women to readjust to civilian life and to be more successful after their military career. Veterans now have the ability to transfer classroom education and skill training in the field into college credits for an applicable civilian career. The legislation also helps veterans who wish to enter the workforce after the military by providing them with expedited requests for state occupational licenses and certificates. The bill offers a transition into a new ca-
Doug green reer opportunity for those who have served our country. In addition, the Military Articulation and Transfer Assurance Guide, established in House Bill 488, provides a uniform process for awarding credits by including standards on earning credit for experience in the military. A contact person for Veteran’s Affairs is designated under this legislation in order to assist veterans at state institutions. College faculty and staff at these institutions must also participate in a statewide training program to learn how to transfer military experience into academic credit. In addition, county Veterans Services Offices can also assist veterans if they have questions or require guidance. By offering post-secondary credit and occupational licensures for military experience, we give our veterans the best opportunity to succeed in civilian life. As a proud supporter of House Bill 488, I am looking forward to seeing the positive effects and benefits it will have on the lives of our military veterans.

OPINION
The Brown County Press - Sunday, August 3, 2014 - Page 5
The Fayetteville-Perry Local School District Board of Education hired a new football coach at it’s July 17 meeting after accepting varsity head coach Nathan Geer’s resignation. Following an executive session, the board unanimously voted to hire Kevin Finch as the new varsity head coach as well as middle school intervention specialist for the 2014-2015 school year. Before the executive session, Jim Allessi pleaded his case to the board to be considered for the coaching position. “I am here tonight to offer my services again, to the board to coach FayettePerry’s football team,” Allessi began, “I haven’t heard anything yet from anyone at the school and I know that Mr. Geer has resigned. I’ve had a few conversations with Mr. White, and I do understand that the district would prefer to hire a coach who is also a teacher. I know that’s the way most schools do it. But I don’t think it has to be that way.” Allessi went on to tell the board that he feels like the turnover in coaches in the past six years has been bad and that he wanted the job and would be in it for the long haul. He said the district has already missed the first two seven-on-seven’s at

Paint Valley and that is not good for the team. “Fayetteville-Perry’s team doesn’t really have a football program,” he said, “and every time the coach changes, the team has to start all over learning plays. I’ve been with this program for over five years, and I know the plays. I want to be this teams’ coach. I want to help these kids as best I can. So I really hope the board will consider me for the position.” Several parents and football team members also spoke to the board and highly recommended Mr. Allessi for the position. But in the end, the board gave the position to Finch. According to board president Angela Murphy, the board felt that although Allessi was qualified, Finch actually had a lot more experience and was best to fill the position. In other business at the
meeting, Superintendent Raegan White read aloud a thank-you note from Isaac Talley for the boards support and sponsorship to attend te Buckeye Boys State, American Legion Program. In the note Talley said he had an amazing time and looks forward to bringing what he learned back to his school for his senior year and share what he has learned. Murphy updated the board on progress of the solar project at the schools. “The solar project is moving along really well, Murphy said, “most of the panels are all up. They say they are ahead of schedule and we are excited about that. In August some time we’ll have a ribbon cutting ceremony and celebration.” Following executive session, the board took the following actions: • approved Darlene Crawford as high school student council advisor;
• approve the resignation of Darlene Crawford as high school yearbook advisor and approved Lisa Tussey as yearbook advisor; • approved resignation of David Tatman as middle school/high school principal effective September 30,2014; • approve resignation of Lucia Tomko, middle school teacher at the end of the 2013-2014 school year; • approve the elementary,middle school, high school and athletic handbooks for the 2014-2015 school year; • approve to provide public notice and set a public meeting to consider and reemployment of David Tatman as a superannuate to the same position for which he will retire. Meeting set for Thursday, Sept. 4 at 8 a.m.; • approve Murphy to represent Fayetteville-Perry Local Schools as delegate for the OSBA conference;
The Georgetown Exempted Village School District Board of Education held their monthly meeting on July 17th. Foremost on the agenda, recognition was given to board member Ralph Sininger for his thirty years of service, and he was presented with a plaque on behalf of the board of education. Sininger began his time on the board in 1980. The board also discussed annual goals set last August. They had set a goal to maintain 60 days cash on hand throughout the 2014 fiscal year, and they did for every month except in January where it was 58 days cash. They exceeded their expectations by closing the year at 68, compared to last year closing at 53. Treasurer Eric Toole described this as "a good trend line.” Superintendent Christopher Burrows said that the financial picture is "a lot better than we were a year ago."
The general fund contained $1,485,000 at the end of June this year, while last June the general fund was at $1,138,000. The difference was primarily due to an increase in state funding, a slight drop in real estate taxes, and an increase in open enrollment numbers. Workers comp expenses were up marginally this year, there were technology purchases, and money spent on teacher stipends. The transfer of money from the general fund to the termination benefits fund (to go towards severance payments) for fiscal year 2015 was reduced to $4000 from $6-8 thousand a month. It was lowered due to a carried over balance from no teacher retirements the previous year, although some classified staff did retire. The five year maintenance business plan, made last year, is "in full effect" said Burrows. The Georgetown High School parking lot was refurbished, concrete was put around the building, and a new 30-year laminate re-

placed the carpeted office area which previously needed to be replaced every five to six years. A lighting project to revamp the lights in the gymnasiums and the exterior is "on the horizon" said Burrows. The project is through collaboration with the Village of Georgetown. The LED lighting project will be paid for with permanent improvement money, and will generate a projected $5-7 thousand in annual savings to the general fund for energy use, resulting in a near 60% reduction in kilowatts. The project will be implemented in two phases; the gymnasiums will be completed before school starts, and the exterior lights will be done by late Oct. or early Nov. Other strategies to make the district more energy efficient are underway by replacing controls for the HVAC system. Kilowatt-hour expenditure was reduced by 338,016 kilowatt-hours, resulting in about $17 thousand in savings. This caused an 18% reduction in kilowatthours, resulting in cost savings of about 8%. This year the district is developing an energy management plan that will reach at least a 10% reduction. The natural gas cost was up about $6 thousand due to colder temperatures in February. The board also reviewed attendance reports for staff and a list of community volunteers. They found that almost 50 people from the community in the village helped out during the previous year in some capacity, making note that Bethany and Rachel Bishop were the pioneers that got people to help with specific programs, as did local pastors. August 18th at 11:30 is the welcome back staff luncheon, where Burrows will give his superintendent message; also classified and certified people will be recognized for distinguished service. August 4th through 8th from 5 to 8 in the evening will be the iPad distribution nights, where students will come and receive their iPads. All policies, procedures, and expectation will be gone over. Lunch prices will go up five cents for the next school year, but the price for breakfast will remain the same. The student fees list was approved for the 2014-2015 school year. And the job description for the new position of cashier and transportation supervisor / food service director was approved. The board also approved the following personnel actions.

even temporary use of a wheelchair can give patients the mobility they need while resting the foot. Usually, time off the foot will heal the condition but Dr. Yun notes that stubborn cases may require physical therapy, a stronger steroid anti-inflammatory and maybe a cortisone shot. He works stretching into a patient’s recovery but notes that the timing is important so the patient doesn’t further hurt the foot. He recommends that people take preventive measures to keep from developing plantar fasciitis again or from developing it in the first place. “Maintain a healthy weight, have good arch support in your shoes, increase your activity levels slowly and if you have tight muscles, increase your flexibility with calf muscle stretches,” says Dr. Yun. Dr. Yun practices from Mercy Health – Wellington Orthopaedic & Sports Medicine in Anderson Township, Blue Ash, Eastgate and West Chester and is part of Mercy Health’s Dream Team of orthopaedic specialists. To find out more about Dr. Yun or to make an appointment with him, please call 513-2322663.

THE SOUL
Psalm 119:109: “My soul is continually in my hand: yet do I not forget thy law.” I want to talk about the soul today. You have your soul in your hand! Listen, a person is not made up of a body alone. I remember when I was a kid hearing the old timers say: when you’re dead, you’re dead; and: you will never know the difference 100 years from now. Well, they were wrong on both counts. If you die and go to Hell you will suffer continually for all eternity. Hell is eternal fire. It is not only the soul that goes to Hell. Jesus said in Matthew 10:28: “And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.” The soul will spend eternity somewhere. When God created man a living soul, when He took the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, man became a living soul. The soul will never die; it will never cease to exist. I have had people say to me: just pray that I die, enough is enough, I can’t take anymore. The body gets weary, especially when a person has been sick for a long time. However, for a Christian the death of the body is nothing to fear. That is not so in the death of the body of an unbeliever. They have much to fear. There is a huge difference because the soul will spend eternity in Heaven with God or eternity in Hell with Satan. Your soul is in your hand. The total responsibility of your soul does not lie with your mother, your father, or with anyone else. I have had mothers interrupt me when I was trying to show their child how to be saved. But frankly, they should keep their mouths shut. That child is responsible for his own soul! If they have not been able to lead that child to God in 15 years then they need to be quiet and let me do the talking! Parents can not answer for their children when it comes to their souls. I can not say it enough; everyone is responsible for their own soul. But, it is sorry to say that most people are not soul conscious and neither is the world system. The educational system will not teach your child about his soul. It teaches his brain about the world. Worldly psychiatrists do not have a clue about the soul. You get con-

fused; you have a problem; you get frustrated, so what do you do? You go to a psychiatrist. But what about your soul? That is the part of you that is troubled. A good example of that is King Saul in the Bible. Do you remember King Saul? He was the people’s choice, not God’s choice. When the Spirit of God left Saul and Samuel anointed David, King Saul lost his good sense and he did foolish things. He was affected by evil spirits. People in our worldly system today would not accept any of that. But whatever, Saul would get himself in such a depressed and discouraged state that he would call for David to play music on the harp. The music seemed to comfort Saul. It was Saul’s soul that was troubled! People get themselves in the same situation today with depression and discouragement and I truly believe it is not so much their mind as it is their soul which is troubled. Get your soul right with God! Verse 3 of the 23rd Psalm says: “He restoreth my soul...” When God restores your soul, He is restoring all that psychological stability that a human being needs to think clearly without depression and discouragement. But, it is in your hand; it is your responsibility. You have total authority over your own soul to make the choice if you want to be comforted or not and the choice of where your body and soul will be in eternity. Listen you adults, you can not force a child to get saved and neither can you force him to stay unsaved. He has to choose to be saved or choose to reject salvation the same as an adult does. A child will usually choose salvation if he gets the chance to hear the Gospel of Christ. So why a parent would deny their child the right to go to church is beyond me. Let your kid have their own chance and make their own choice; you did.

The feet are the workhorses of the body, carrying our loads and allowing us to move on a daily basis. Chances are many of us never pay our feet much mind – that is, until something goes wrong and we are desperate to return our feet to good working order. “Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common foot ailments and it will make you take notice of your feet,” says podiatrist Gordon Yun, DPM, a foot and ankle specialist with Mercy Health – Wellington Orthopaedic & Sports Medicine. A strained ligament – the plantar fascia, which connects the heel to the toes and supports the arch – is the cause of plantar fasciitis. Plantar fasciitis can cause sharp, violent pain at the bottom of the heel or the arch, usually with activity or when getting out of bed or getting up from a sitting position. “This is a classic overuse injury. A high level of activity, being overweight, having high arches or flat feet, standing for long hours at a time, wearing ill-fitting or worn shoes or having tight calves or Achilles muscles can all strain the ligament that supports the arch,” says Dr. Yun. “Plantar fasciitis can impact anyone.” Many of the treatments sufferers turn to will help reduce the symptoms of plantar fasciitis but not cure the underlying issue. “For symptom relief, by all means, rest, ice, massage and elevate the foot. Take occasional anti-inflammatories for a short time. Make sure you support the arch properly and not with a heel cup, which can cause further strain,” says Dr. Yun. “However, the only thing that will heal plantar fasciitis is staying off your feet for three to six weeks. Once this condition starts, it will not heal if you don’t rest and don’t change the things that led to it in the first place. The longer you wait, the longer it will take your plantar fasciitis to heal.” Staying off our feet for any period of time is tough and Dr. Yun notes that a medical knee scooter, crutches or

The argument of Attorney Thomas Eagle rested on whether Ringland had
performed the required “balancing test” between the privacy needs of the party with the sealed record versus the public’s right to
view a public record. In his ruling, Gusweiler wrote “The court does find that Judge Ringland performed the requisite balanc-
ing test, and thus his sealing of this case in 2003 was done in a constitutional manner.” Gusweiler also rejected
but said that village residents should consider facts rather than emotion. “People seem to want to blame someone, but we are past that now. We have to pick our poison. I describe it as being bitten by a black widow spider or being bitten by a cobra.” If the vote passes, the BCRWA will loan the village $700,000 to pay off the judgement in the Shinn Brothers lawsuit. Pfeffer said
that the village currently owes $500,000 on the debt, meaning that the village general fund will receive $200,000. The loan will be repaid to the BCRWA with an additional five dollar per account charge, but since current village rates are three dollars higher, the net increase to residents will be two dollars per month. According to a letter distributed to residents from Ab-
erdeen Mayor Jason Phillips, the BCRWA has committed to installing three new water lines into the village and building another water tower to increase water pressure in the village. Pfeffer said that the facts surrounding the vote lead him to one conclusion. “There are signs out there that say ‘Vote no, save our water’. I would respond ‘Vote yes, save your village.”
it to spin out of control. After the truck came to rest, Hahn wrote in the police report that he, along with MOPD Lt. Josh Black, BCSO Deputy Chris Hunter, told Donohoo at gun point to get out of the truck. “The male subject exits the vehicle and fails to obey the commands to get on the ground”, Hahn wrote. “The male subject reaches into his
jacket and pulls out his hand in a handgun gesture, still failing to get on the ground. The male subject again reaches into his jacket and again pulls his hand out in a hand gun gesture, this time stating “bang”“. Mount said that Donohoo’s intention was clear. “He wanted us to kill him. He appeared to be in an altered mental status like he
was trying to commit suicide by cop.” Mount also said that his officers fired their weapons to protect the public and themselves. “The concern was that if they let him flee, he might go down the road and hit someone, so Hahn made the decision to shoot the tires out on the truck to slow him down”, Mount said.

the argument that Podolsky had legal standing to file the motion acting in the capacity of a prosecutor. Podolsky, claiming to be acting as “Prosecutor” in accordance with Ohio Revised Code, filed the motion in Brown County Common Pleas Court on June 12. Podolsky’s argued that Wenninger is unqualified and taxpayers are being defrauded by paying for his salary. Ohio Revised Code 2953.53(D) states that sealed records “shall not be available to any person”, except for the person who is the subject of the record or someone they name in an application to unseal it, a law enforcement officer involved in the case to defend
themselves in a civil case or a prosecuting attorney to determine a defendant's eligibility to enter a pre-trial diversion program. Gusweiler denied a motion by Dennis Varnau to unseal the record on similar grounds in 2009. The Ohio 12th District Court of Appeals and Ohio Supreme Court ruled on the Varnau case in favor of Wenninger. Podolsky asked Little in April of 2013 to file a taxpayer lawsuit to recover the money paid to Wenninger, but she refused to do so. In a response to Podolsky, Little said that there is no legal basis to challenge Wenninger’s current term of office by alleging he was not qualified to serve in 2000 or 2004.

Members of the Aberdeen Concerned Citizens (ACC) group have continued in their efforts to rally together and make improvements to the Aberdeen Village Park. The groups latest venture was to begin phase 1 of 4 phases making improvements to the playground at the Aberdeen Park, according to Shari Stafford, coordinator of ACC. “We are working on a project to outline the play area with timbers, redo landscaping and erect some new structures including a swing set and replace the sand in the area with a special formulated mulch,” Stafford said. “All this work was made possible from an $11,000 grant from DP&L and a $4,000 grant from the Hayswood Foundation. Stafford said the DP&L has been extremely generous with the group and have even physically helped do a lot of the work at the park. The Hayswood Foundation is located in Maysville but offers grants to organizations in both Adams and Brown County in Ohio. The Hayswood Foundation has been in existence since 1985 and offers grant funds to organizations that promote mental or physical health or education. Since its inception, the foundation has awarded approximately $7.5 million for local projects, both large and small. “On Saturday July 19, we installed a three-bay, single
post swing set with all the components,” she said. “A group of about 35 volunteers, including volunteers from MPW Industrial Services, Inc. in Hebron, (where the equipment was purchased), showed up to help do all the work that needed to be done. “We put in 248 feet of tuff timbers, stakes and access wedge to make it handicapped accessible (ADA Americans with Disabilities Act) and 200 cubic feet of ADA certified wood-carpet, playground surfacing.” Stafford said that after the sand was removed from around the old swing area, specially designed rubber mats were placed under each swing to prevent it from wearing down. The total cost of phase one was $13,704. “We were very proud to have Lloyd Schultz, the executive director of the Hayswood Foundation, out there working side-by-side with us,” Stafford said. “He’s really a nice guy and we just appreciate him so much. “So many people have helped us out. A new restaurant, that’s barely gotten open, called ‘Mr. B’s on 52’ provided a great lunch for all the volunteers. The owner and chef is Willetta Barger, and what a great cook she is. We had enough of the special mulch to complete the area we were working on with about 12 inches of enough left to re-mulch the small playground area, about 9 inches deep.” Stafford said the ACC has just recently received an ad-
ditional $10,000 grant from DP&L which will be enough to begin phase 2. “The cost for phase 2 is $17,670,” she said. ‘With what we have we will do as much as we can towards phase two which includes adding Playsense Design equipment, including a flywheel spinner, a saddle spinner, a single bobble rider and welcome signs. We also pressure washed a lot of the existing equipment, which looks a lot better.” She said Phase 3 will include replacing the second half of the playground equipment with Playsense Design equipment and will cost $18,515. “Phase 4 will cost a little under $5,000 and will include adding benches with shade systems and a few odds and ends,” Stafford explained. “We anticipate completing the entire project within the next two years. Aberdeen is a wonderful place to live and raise a family. Yes, we’ve had our share of bad press, but Aberdeen is full of good people willing to help make it a better place to live.” Stafford continued, “ACC has over 70 members, but many, many more people show up when work needs to be done. We are especially grateful to our police chief and all the police officers. They don’t hesitate to roll up their sleeves and help us out whenever they can. The Aberdeen Park is used a lot by our residents, it’s a nice place to take your family and just enjoy the activities.”

Lacey roadside blooms BY Faye Mahaffey Master Gardner Volunteer
Have you noticed the beautiful white blooms along the roadsides this week? Queen Anne’s Lace, (Daucus carota), blooms throughout the summer and is considered a weed because of its aggressive growth. Once a European garden plant, Queen Anne’s Lace is a biennial plant. The plant forms a rosette of pinnately compounded leaves (fern-like, with many divisions) the first year, then produces several flowers on tall stems the second year. In its second year, the plant bolts from the taproot (the carrot) to a height of 2-4 feet. The stems are erect and branched; both stems and leaves are covered with short coarse hairs. The blooms are white flowers in an umbel (a domed to relatively flattopped flower cluster that resembles the overall shape of an open umbrella), 2-4 inches wide. Often there is one deep purple floret in the center. After their bloom, the old umbels curl to form a cuplike “bird’s nest.” It is reported that Queen Anne of England decorated her hair with these attractive white flowers. Many butterflies, wasps and bees are attracted to the flowers of Queen Anne’s Lace so it is frequently planted in wildflower and butterfly gardens. The black
By an overwhelming vote of 420 to 5, legislation to reform the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) passed the House of Representatives on Wednesday afternoon after fatal scheduling misconduct came to light earlier this year. Local Congressman Brad Wenstrup (OH-2), who was appointed to the conference committee charged with negotiating a deal with the Senate, said he was especially enthusiastic with strengthened accountability provisions and inclusion of privatesector health care options. “I’ve talked to veterans
across southern Ohio and toured four of our VA facilities in the Second District. I hear the same thing: veterans want a VA they can trust. This bill begins to create the opportunity to restore that, because it puts our veterans first at every level” Wenstrup said. “We’re ending the bureaucrat centered model to a more veteran centered model by expanding access to care for veterans with doctors outside the VA system as an option, and fixing the root causes of the recent scandal that kept veterans away from physician care.”
The legislation would provide immediate access to health care outside the VA to those veterans still waiting to be seen by a doctor, increase data and scheduling transparency, reduce bureaucratic bonuses, and give the VA Secretary greater discretion to fire employees. Wenstrup concluded that “the government must ensure our veterans that the VA is working for them, and that commitment doesn’t end with this bill. This issue isn’t falling of my radar any time soon.” The legislation is expected to pass the Senate later this week.

Western Brown football squad out to defend SBAAC title
BY Wade Linville The Brown County Press
Last year's Western Brown varsity football team finished their regular season with a 10-0 record, captured the Southern Athletic/Academic Conference American Division title, and became only the second football team from the school district to earn a berth in the state playoffs; but this year's Broncos aren't reflecting on the past. While expectations within the community are high, Western Brown Head Coach Evan Dreyer and his crew are focusing on the task at hand, preparing for success in the upcoming
season. “Last year was last year. This is a brand new team, a brand new season, brand new kids, and a brand new coaching staff,” said Dreyer. “We want to have fun and create havoc on offense and defense. We're not reflecting on what we accomplished last season. Instead, we're looking at what's ahead. Our expectations are to improve every game.” This year's Broncos will be led on the field by three new senior captains – Josh Young, Logan Nuhn, and Cody Wilson – all three entering their fourth year of football at Western Brown.
Brown County Athletes of the Week
Dreyer enters his sixth year as head of the Western Brown football program, and returning as defensive coach is former head football coach of Western Brown, Don Sizer. “This year's team has a new style and new attitude,” said Dreyer. “This is a dedicated group of kids.” Repeating as SBAAC American Division champions will be quite a challenge for the Broncos as they face a grueling league schedule that includes New Richmond, Amelia, and Norwood. But this year's Broncos are not CONTINUED ON PAGE 14

Bronco Youth Football Camp biggest in Western Brown history
BY Wade Linville The Brown County Press
With approximately 100 campers in attendance, this year’s Western Brown Bronco Youth Football Camp held at LaRosa’s Field in July was the biggest in the history of the camp. This year’s camp was held July 18, July 23, and July 24 and saw campers ranging from ages eight through 12. “I was excited to see so many campers turn out this year,” said Western Brown High School’s head football coach, Evan Dreyer. “This is our biggest youth camp in history. Not only do we have young players from the Western Brown School District, but other school’s
as well. We had some campers from Eastern (Brown) attend this year’s camp since they started a new football program.” Camp instruction was headed by the Western Brown High School coaching staff and players, and the cost for three days of camp was only $20 per camper. The camp emphasized the fundamentals of the game, providing the young campers in attendance with tools that will help them in their future on the gridiron. “This football program has done a great job in getting support from the community, and we would like to thank those in the community for their continued support,” said Dreyer.

overwhelmed with pressure to succeed, working towards improvement one day at a time. “We don't really feel like there is any pressure. I'm looking forward to it,” Nuhn said about his
chance to lead the Broncos as a senior captain in the upcoming season. “Our main goals are the same as always, to go 100 and make the playoffs,” said Young. “It's a pretty good feeling (to get the opportunity to lead as a team cap-
tain),” said Wilson. “It's one of the dreams you have as a varsity player, and it finally came true.” The Broncos' new season begins Aug. 29, as they play host to the Hillsboro Indians in a nonleague contest.

Huge week of racing and fun at MRP
BY Thomas Moler The Brown County Press
It was a huge week at Moler Raceway Park with the Carson & Barnes Circus bringing the biggest show on earth to the raceway on Tuesday, July 22 and Friday night would be a great night of racing at the fastest quarter-mile dirt oval track in the Midwest. A field of 18 compacts were on hand to battle for the $500 grand prize and it was Richard Dalton and Justin Dalton winning heat races and setting the starting lineup for the feature event. At the green, it was Justin Dalton taking the lead and leading the first two laps before having mechanical problems and having to make a pit stop for repairs. On the restart it was Richard Dalton out front with Stephanie Butler in second but the car on the move was seventh place starting T.J. Dalton. By lap five, he had worked his way up to second, but it wasn't until lap 11 that he was able to make a move and take over the top spot from Richard Dalton. At the checkered flag, it was all T.J. Dalton, as the Burlington,Ky driver sponsored by TJ Mobile Computing Service,Kadak Survival, and DirtStar Photos took his fourth feature win of the season. Jason Borgenmenke would come home second with Richard Dalton, Ashley Alsip, and Chris Shelton compl eting the top five. Clyde Pack was victorious in the Diamond Cut Lawn Care Dash event for non-winners. In the Mt. Orab Ford Late Model event, it was a full field of 20 late models on hand and it was Middletown, Ohio's John Whitney Jr and Flemingsburg, Ky's Roger Ruark taking heat race wins and setting the
starting lineup for the feature event. At the drop of the green flag, it was Whitney out front but Bill y Gullion was right on his bumper. Following a caution on lap four, Gullion pulled out and it was Ruark back into second position with Jeff Arnold and Chad Stapleton in close pursuit. Lap 10 would see Arnold get into an accident with some lap cars ending his night. While on lap fifteen Stapleton, who had worked his way to third, but as the leaders raced through lapped traffic he made contact first with turn four wall, and then with a lapped car ending his night. On the restart, it was all Whitney as the defending track champion would race to his second feature win on the season in his Stephan's Heating and Cooling, Barker Fab & Machine, Amaze A Stitch Embroidery Sponsored 33B machine. Ruark would claim second spot after a furious battle with Nick Latham would see the spot traded three times in last couple of lap. Daniel Kattine would claim fourth spot with Graylin Prince coming home in fifth position. Gary Wilson would take the Diamond Cut Lawn Care Dash event. The UMP Modifieds were up next on the track, and early in the feature it looked as though Dave McWilliams might claim his first win on the season but it was eighth place starter Matt Hamilton who would have different ideas. After working his way to second spot on lap 11, he would waste no time in running down McWilliams and making the pass for the top spot on lap 14. The Aurora, Ind. driver would go on to claim his second consecutive feature win at MRP in his 9H Lightning
Chassis sponsored by Opportunities to Succeed, Sign-A-Rama, Battery Men, Varistee Screen Printing, AFCO Shocks, and Mark Bush Racing. Jeremie Bretz would come home second in his first night i n a new car followed by McWilliams, Patrick Alcorn, and Adam Stricker to complete the top five. In the Diamond Cut Lawn Care Sport Mod Division, it was Chris Shelton, Jr., of Maysville, Ky. sweeping the division by winning the heat and feature events to pull within five points of first place Andy Trout for the title of track champion in the inaugural year of the Sport Mods at MRP. Jerry Florence JR. wo uld battle it out with Shelton in the feature but settle for second. The Tarvin Auto Sales Chevette division would close out the night's racing action and it was heat winner Mike Clark on the pole for the A-Main but he would break coming to the flagstand on the first lap and lose control collecting Alanah Weis to bring out a red flag as track crew worked to untangle the two cars. Once back underway it was points leader and defending Chevette champion Rusty Yarger running away with his seventh feature win of the season in his Wilson & Son Body Shop, Weaver's Garage, Northwest Transmission, and Dreadland Haunted Woods sponsored 22 machine. Kyle Tarvin would take second for his best finish of the season followed by Sean Jones, Josh Davis, and Jim Hunt. Drivers and race fans are gearing up for the premier event of the 2014 MRP season to take place on Friday, Aug. 15...the eighth annual Victor “Ike” Moler Memorial presented by Mt. Orab Ford.
