THE BROWN COUNTY
Second lawsuit filed against Aberdeen BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press The decision by the Aberdeen Village Council to halt construction on a new water plant continues to have repercussions. On July 26, a complaint was filed with the Brown County Common Pleas Court against the village by Annette Mineer. The complaint is called a Writ of Mandamus. Such a complaint is filed when an entity does not comply with a request for public records. In addition to naming the village itself, the complaint also lists Aberdeen Mayor Harry Foxworthy, village Fiscal Officer Nathan Pfeffer and council members Jerry Applegate, Jay Castle, Billie
Eitel, Jason Phillips, Joe Sprague and Robert Verville. In a letter addressed to Foxworthy dated June 7, Mineer Attorney John Estill asked for “The complete transcript and any other documents which constitute a part of the bond issuance by the Village of Aberdeen pertaining to its intended construction and/or financing of a water treatment, storage and distribution records, including or not limited to the actual bonds, all required ordinances or resolutions, opinions of counsel, correspondence with the counsel, documents, writings, e-mails, or other memoranda with others, including public agencies, regarding such bond issuance.” The letter also asked for
“Minutes and actual transcripts or recordings of all meetings at which the construction of the water facility was discussed or the issuance of bonds was authorized” and “All correspondence with contractors, bidders, or others pertaining to the status of the project.” Public entities who do not respond to proper public records requests can be required to pay the attorney’s fees of those asking for the records, among other possible sanctions. Pfeffer said that Village Solicitor David Grimes was preparing a response to the complaint. When contacted, Grimes said he had no comment. The sale of the water treatCONTINUED ON PAGE 8

This building on State Street in Georgetown is undergoing renovation and will soon house the Brown County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office.
Commissioners sign 177K contract for new offices BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press The Brown County Prosecutors Office will have a new home before the end of the year. The Brown County Commissioners have chosen Georgetown contractor Tim Hayslip to renovate the building at 510 East State Street in Georgetown. The contract is for $177, 700. Hayslip said he expects the project to be complete in early November. “It’s always good when a local contractor is the low
bidder on a project”, said Brown County Commission President Ralph Jennings. “We’re able to get the best value for the taxpayers and the money stays here at home with local workers.” The building currently houses the Brown County Probate and Juvenile Court. When the project is completed the Court will have some extra space and the prosecutors office will take up residence. The current prosecutors office on the Georgetown square is housed in what was the original county jail.
That building is quite old with a leaky roof and other problems. Last September, the commissioners decided to buy the building on State Street outright from owner Delbert Aicholtz for $650,000 instead of continuing to pay $3333 per month in rent. That purchase plus the renovations will cost a total of $827,700. At the time of the sale, Jennings pointed out that due to the condition of the current prosecutors office and the rent being paid to house the CONTINUED ON PAGE 8
One of the two Ohio Department of Natural Resources employees facing recent charges in Brown County has pleaded not guilty. David Warner entered the plea before Common Pleas Court Judge Scott Gusweiler on Aug. 1. He was released on his own recognizance and will return for a pre-trial hearing later this month. Warner, a Field Supervisor for the Ohio Division of Wildlife is charged with Theft in Office, a fifth degree felony, Tampering with Records, a third degree felony and Dereliction of Duty, a second degree misdemeanor. Matthew Roberts, a Wildlife Officer assigned to Clinton County is charged with Theft in Office, a fifth degree felony and Tampering with Records, a third degree felony. Roberts has not yet been arraigned. The indictments of the two men follow the public release of an investigation by the Ohio Inspector General. The investigation began as

Before accepting the guilty plea and sentencing Parsons, Judge McBride made sure Parsons understood the charges against him including aggravated murder, aggravated robbery, aggravated burglary and failure to comply with the order of a police officer. Parsons agreed that he understood, and pleaded guilty to the charges during the hearing. Parsons also pleaded guilty to a separate charge from an incident that occurred this year, where he was charged with assaulting a prison guard. Kevin Miles, assistant Clermont County prosecutor, presented the judge with several exhibits during the hearing including a statement of facts that was signed by prosecuting attorneys, defense attorneys and Parsons, photos of the deceased, and a video of Parsons confessing to the murder of his stepfather.

The Brown County Relay for Life teams work hard each year to generate money for cancer research. According to the American Cancer Society (ACS), since 1946, the five-year cancer survival rate has more than doubled, and the ACS has seen yearly reductions in cancer mortality since the rate first started declining in the 1990’s. Natalie Watson and Jeni Whitaker co-chaired this years Relay for Life event. According to Rene Green, cancer survivor and co-chair for the upcoming Brown County Relay for Life Carnival, fundraising will continue in Brown County until August 30. “Our Relay for Life event was held this year on May 19 and 20 and raised over $49,000,” Green said, “And we expect this Carnival will send us over the $50,000 mark. All the money is donated to the American Cancer Society for research. This is the first year we’ve had a Carnival, and we expect it to be huge, and great fun for everyone.” Green said the Relay for Life Carnival will be held from Saturday, Aug. 4 from 10 a.m in the morn-
ing and run until 8 p.m. at night at the Mt. Orab Park. “There will be all kinds of food, games, raffles and entertainment,” Green added. “We’re still accepting new vendors and crafters and we hope to have something for everyone, young and old. The ACS provides day to day assistance with transportation to treatment or lodging during treatment through the Road to Recovery or Hope Lodge programs. It also provides emotional support through programs such as Reach to Recovery, for people facing breast cancer, as well as cancer coping classes such as I Can Cope. The American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network works to make cancer a top priority for lawmakers at the federal, state and local levels. It helps educate Americans about cancer prevention and early detection, and promotes a year-long program called the Great American Health Challenge which encourages people to take action to reduce their cancer risk and

Letters to the Editor A modest proposal (apologies to Jonathan Swift) Dear Editor, In the wake of the recent tragedy in Aurora, Colorado, I’ve reassessed my own position on guns and gun control. I used to think America’s gun laws were too lax, as we have the most liberal gun laws of all industrialized nations. I had thought that gun ownership should require a license, similar to what is needed to get behind the wheel of vehicle. I also thought that background checks should be more thorough and complete. And I could never figure out why anyone needs a semi-automatic weapon, which can fire multiple rounds in the blink of an eye. But I have recently done an about face on all that. I now believe that our Second Amendment right to bear arms should be changed into a responsibility. Instead of the U.S. Constitution protecting what we can do, it should be changed into what we must do. Here’s my modest proposal. Any US citizen should be required, under the force of law, to own, carry, and bran-
dish a weapon. Of course, this obligation would not apply to those under eighteen years of age. But once one reaches the age of adulthood in the eyes of the law, that requirement would go into effect. Under this new provision, every adult American would have to carry a gun at all times. One could take the sidearm off in the comfort of one’s own home. But other than that, to be a citizen in the US would require you to pack heat. With every person knowing that every other person is carrying a loaded gun, the bad guys would think twice before attempting to use their guns in the commission of a crime. The bank robber would hesitate before he would give a note to the teller to turn over the cash, because she’s got a gun as well. Grandma would be more secure with her purse as she walks to the corner grocery or church on Sunday. Since messing with her now could result in a “slug from a 45,” as Humphrey Bogart might put it. And that troublesome problem of
road rage. Who’s going to honk now when getting “the finger” means someone’s trigger finger? There would be other benefits as well. For all intents and purposes, the police would be superfluous. No one would need a cop, because protection is hanging from one’s belt. Calling 9-1-1 would be replaced with 3-5-7, a 357 magnum, that is. So the police could be fired with considerable savings to the taxpayers. And with state and municipal governments strapped for cash, the savings would help balance government budgets. This is a win-win all the way around. Of course, concealed carry laws would be obsolete. Indeed, the new law would require that one’s gun be visible at all times, not concealed. So whether at the PTA meeting, the shopping mall, or a stroll in the park, to be in public would be to show lethal force. If you got pulled over while driving— presuming some state and local governments still had law enforcement—you
would be asked to show your license, vehicle registration, proof of insurance, and Uzi. I am confident that this proposal will gain widespread support. My own state representative, Danny Bubp (Republican, 88th District), recently sponsored legislation that extended Ohio’s concealed carry law to include bars and restaurants which serve alcohol. He successfully moved the measure out of committee to the floor of the house with an aptly phrased “discharge petition.” He presumably reasoned that if you can shoot off your mouth in a tavern, you also ought to be able to shoot off your gun. Though you’d best be careful ordering a shot and a beer. So let’s forget about reinstituting that pesky federal assault weapons ban that was allowed to expire in 2004. Who needs it? It would only gum up the works. I don’t want my proposal to go off half-cocked. Tim Lynch Georgetown
Dear Editor. In the July 29th issue of the Brown County Press, a reader expressed the opinion that the healthcare plan was a first step towards socialism, and would lead to our nation’s ruin. If that is true, then thanks to public schools, public libraries, and ODOT, etc., we are already well on our way towards socialism. And, of course, ruin. I would expect Christians to be in favor of universal health care because we should want everyone to have access to medical care. Lack of insurance costs hospitals, doctors, and, indirectly, all of us. Accountants say the new
CMYK
OPINION healthcare bill will save money, as well as lives. As currently managed, our health care is pretty poor. Using any rational measurement of quality, such as infant mortality or longevity, we are way down the list of industrialized countries in quality. Unfortunately, we are at the very top of the list in cost. Since we are the only developed country that doesn’t have universal health care, how does that make sense? We are required by law to have automobile insurance. Why not health insurance? Florence Wilson Mt. Orab

bragged about it to other kids. Lost Lake Court is in Sterling Township and I went to one of the trustees about speed bumps being put in and speed limit signs. For the police to do something about it we need speed limit signs. I haven’t heard from the trustees as of today. Does it take something horrendous to happen before anyone does something? We were told by the police to go to the Trustees to put up the speed limit signs. Bardwell West, the same thing. Many people go that
way from Dela Palma to Mt. Orab. From Dela Palma to Bardwell West takes you into Mt. Orab. There are two stop signs, Eastwood and Bodman. People travel Bardwell West because on 32 East and West there are traffic lights which slows them down, Bardwell West just has stop signs and no speed limit.

A donation has been made in the amount of $477.50 to your local food pantry. Thanks Georgetown for your patronage which resulted in this donation. In a time when so many are struggling to make ends
meet, and when Congress is debating the next Farm Bill potentially affecting access to food stamps, supporting our local food pantries becomes even more critical.

someone who helped determine what department or job would be the best fit for them. Applicants then sat down with a manager of that department for a quick interview. Dick said the managers have the hardest job because they are literally choosing employees who would be a good fit for their department or would be capable of managing a department at the Eastgate market. “They are picking and grooming their own crew,” Dick said. “I think it works out well.” Dick said people warned her that the job fair was going to be crazy. “I was half-prepared, but didn’t believe them,” she said. The turnout for the job fair seemed to surprise everyone and the excitement was obvious, even at the back of the line. “There is a lot of competition,” Lana Masaden, of Anderson, said after she saw the long line of applicants in front of her. “I am scared, but hopeful.” Masaden said she planned to stick it out and wait in the line because she thinks Jungle Jim’s is a great company and she needs a job. “It’s a great company, they offer a lot of benefits and I need a job,” Masaden said. Masaden said she also likes Jungle Jim’s because the company is diverse and offers many international products. “There is always room to grow in there,” she said.

there to be a crowd of people at the job fair, but what he did not expect was for the line to stretch outside the civic center and all the way to the end of the parking lot. Jason Napier, of Felicity, was also surprised at the turnout. “I expected a large crowd but this is unfathomable,” Napier said.

Once inside the civic center, applicants were herded into the gym where they waited to be screened and then have a short interview at one of many stations set up around the gym. “We have it set up just like a regular job fair,” Kathy Dick, the store manager at Fairfield and hiring manager, said. “Except each table, instead of a different company, is a different department.” Dick organized the job fair and said the company is planning to hire a wide variety of employees for the new Eastgate location. “Everything from the person that bags groceries to the guy that cuts steak, to the guy that receives it at the back door and everything in between,” Dick said. When applicants entered the gym they spoke with

Shirley Jean Cooper, 68, Russellville, Oh., died Saturday, July 28, 2012. Shirley was born February 20, 1944 outside of Russellville, Ohio the daughter of the late Paul Schumacher and Grace Wright. She was the head custodian at the Russellville ElSchool in ementary Russellville, and had been employed by the Eastern Local School District for the past thirty-five years. She is survived by two sons – Mark Cooper of Santiago de Compostela, Spain and Don-Scott Cooper of San Francisco, Cal., one sister – Phyllis Phipps of Aberdeen, and nephew, Matt Phipps, of Columbus. She also leaves behind four extended family members who were very important to her in her later years. These are her “adopted daughter,” April Bissantz, her “second sister,” Susie Paeltz, cousin, Greg Paeltz, and friend Roger Potts. Shirley served as a role model to many who admired her strength through adversity and her independent spirit. She loved talking about her blond Labrador retriever, Max, relaying stories with friends, and laughing until she cried. She also loved traveling to New York and California to visit her sons, walking along oceans and beautiful beaches, and singing and dancing to a wide array of popular music. Shirley was a very hard worker who took pride in always doing the best job possible, whether she was a school cook, teacher’s aide, custodian, waitress, factory worker, or caretaker for elderly folks in the area. At times she held three jobs to support her sons as a single mother. When her health was declining and doctors asked her about her goals, it was always “to get back to work.” Shirley refused to retire, even in illness and passed just as she exhausted her months of accumulated leave. Services were held Monday, July 30, 2012 where Rev. Charles Moore officiated. Interment was in the Fincastle Cemetery. The Cahall Funeral Home, Georgetown, served the family.

Summer break ends for thousands of Ohio children this month who will be heading back to school. For many, the trip to and from school involves riding on a school bus. Currently, the Ohio State Highway Patrol motor vehicle inspectors are in the process of inspecting every Ohio school bus to ensure each bus is safe to transport children to and from school, and school-sanctioned events. Across Ohio the Patrol has 23 teams of motor vehicle inspectors who inspect all Ohio school buses at least twice each year; once prior to the beginning of the school year and once during the school year. During 2009 through 2011, that equated to 138,231 inspections. However, school bus safety is more than just the inspections. Motorists approaching a school bus from either direction should remember they are required to stop a least 10 feet back from buses displaying red flashing lights and an extended stop arm. From 2009 through 2011, 4,326 motorists were cited for failing to stop for a school bus loading or unloading children. “Although drivers of all vehicles are required to stop for a school bus when it is stopped to load or unload passengers, children

Absolutely overwhelming! Those words can’t even begin to describe how we feel about the tremendous outpouring of support received during the loss of our beloved Ravye. The loving memorial at the ball court in Ripley and the prayer vigils touched our hearts so much. It was amazing to see how much Ravye was cared for by so many from so many communities. He was a beautiful soul with much to offer and taken from us much too soon. There is no way we can personally thank each and every one of you but to everyone who has prayed, called, came to the hospital, visited, sent cards, food, flowers or memorials, or offered up their help in any way, please know we are forever grateful. To those who wrote the touching news articles and to those who have started a scholarship fund in his name, we thank you. To his U. S. Army unit who was with us the entire time, thank you for letting us know what a good soldier Ravye was. To the RULH Jr/Sr High School for opening up the school for the visitation and funeral to accommodate the large attendance, we thank you. He was so special to so many. We miss that smile so much already. He is gone but will never be forgotten and will always remain in our hearts. God’s blessings to all. The Family of PFC Ravye D. Williams

should not rely on them to do so,” said Lt. Randy McElfresh, commander of the Georgetown Post. “Children exiting the bus should always stop and look both ways before crossing the street and remain alert to any sudden traffic changes.” Motorists need to plan ahead and allow extra time for these school bus stops. Motorists are urged to exercise patience and never pass a stopped school bus. Additionally motorists

NO SECOND CHANCE Let’s talk about the church and the Great Tribulation. The first thing I’m going to tell you is that the church will not be going through it. The Bible calls it the time of Jacob’s trouble. I cannot tell you exactly when it’s going to take place but I can tell you that in the last 6000 years a major judgment has taken place in intervals of about 2000 years. Two thousand years after the creation of Adam and Eve and in the days of Noah, God destroyed the world by water. Two thousand years after that came the judgment of Cavalry’s cross. The Bible tells us that six days shalt thou labor and do all thy work. It also tells us that 1000 years to the Lord is like one day. Well, it’s coming up to 6000 years from the day of Creation. To the Lord those 6000 years would equal six days of labor. The 7th 1000 year period will be the 7th day of the week and that will be the 1000 year reign of Christ. Some people believed that something drastic was going to happen in the year 2000, but God isn’t going to make it so obvious that we can know the exact time. The Bible tells us that we cannot know the day nor the hour but we will know when we are in the season. We are in the season! II Timothy 3:13 tells us: “But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived” and believe me this whole world is in a mess. We all say: “God bless America” but I believe it’s time for America to bless God. I once heard someone say that we should not say: “God bless America” but we should say: “God forgive America”. But if you ask for forgiveness but do not intend to have repentance you are not going to get forgiveness. Jesus said unless ye repent ye shall all likewise perish. There must be repentance of sin along with faith; the two are inseparable. It would not hurt America to do some repenting but I don’t see much going on. I don’t think every church in America is packed out, do you? But still I am very thankful for the people who have been saved and baptized recently. And while I am talking about it, it would not hurt the Christians to do some repenting. You know when Jesus was talking to the first church in the book of Revelation he said: “repent and do the first work.” It does not hurt for us to repent and say: “Lord I’ve been wrong but I am

willing to make a change.” But saying: “Lord forgive me but I am going to keep on doing what I am doing the way I want to do it” will not get you forgiveness from the Lord. Hello, do you all understand me? America should consider some sackcloth and ashes. Do you remember what happened when Jonah preached in the city of Nineveh? The whole city repented and God spared them. If Jonah would come to Cincinnati today and preach and say: “this place is going to be destroyed in 40 days” do you think all the people would repent in sackcloth and ashes? I think most would laugh right in his face. The answer for our nation is repentance toward God and if we don’t we are going to suffer the consequence of it. The same thing goes for an individual. You might say that you don’t have the ability to change but you don’t need the ability to change, what you need is the willingness to change. God will help with the rest. Well anyway, the Bible tells us: then there shall be great tribulation such as was not since the world began no nor ever shall be. Listen to me. Before Jesus Christ comes back to the earth there is going to be a seven-year period of great tribulation. Read about it in Matthew chapter 24; Jesus is talking about events which are still future and He himself tells the signs of the season. Scofield states: “All that has characterized the age gathers into awful intensity at the end.” We are seeing those signs intensify. But remember, before the seven-year period of great tribulation begins, the Rapture of Christians (the church) will take place. Will you be left behind to suffer the seven years of great tribulation and eternal damnation? You will be left if you have heard the gospel of Jesus Christ and are still unsaved when the Rapture takes place! There will be no 2nd chance. You will not be able to change your mind.

placed in the box. The beautiful Time Capsule was closed and placed in another small vault like box. It was placed in a special area at the foot of Liberty Monument in August of 1912 to be opened in 2012. Let’s look back in time. Less that one year after the Time Capsule was placed at Liberty Monument there was the big 1913 flood, in 1937 there was the biggest flood of the century, there continued to be flooding during each decade that covered the base of Liberty Monument where the Time Capsule was placed. In June of 2012 the Village of Ripley decided it was time to fine the 1912 Time Capsule check the size and prepare to have a new box constructed. It took 3 fellows about 1 1/2 to 2 hours using concrete saws, digging, probing, using a back hoe and other machinery to locate it. When they first heard the ping of metal everyone thought THAT’S IT. Wrong! It was the vault in which the box had been placed. The vault was made of iron, rusty and hard to open. Once the vault was opened the Time Capsule was visible and removed from the ground, but not opened. It was very dirty and corroded. What it was constructed of could not be distinguished. As the Time Capsule was lifted out of the ground sounds could be heard: slosh, slosh, slosh! There was, also, a small weep hole with water coming out. Not sure how to approach this, a tote box was purchased into which the Time Capsule was placed. The unopened Time Capsule in a plastic tote was taken to the bank vault of First State Bank until a plan could be developed. Many calls were made that day to restoration companies. The advise given was that the
Mt. Orab gives up claim to TIF money CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 concerns that the revenue from the levy could go into the TIF (Tax Increment Finance) fund and not to the school district. TIF funds provide local governments with a mechanism for funding a variety of public infrastructure improvements. “Chris Burrows said he has been getting some questions about where the revenue from the levy will go and he wanted to make sure that it doesn’t go to TIF,” Lunsford explained. If approved, the levy will generate over $1.45 million annually for the school. “I talked at length with our TIF specialist,” Lunsford continued, “and we came up with this resolution we need to pass which will clarify everything.” The resolution states... ...this resolution is to provide assurances to Western Brown School District that any additional tax incremental revenue generated from the 5.9 mill emergency school levy will remain full revenue of the school and the Village of Mt. Orab will share equally any excess unencumbered revenues remaining in the respective TIF and RID funds if the school is negatively impacted on the State Foundation funding from the TIF/RID (Residential Incentive District) properties. “By passing this resolution, Mr. Burrows can carry a copy of it with him and show it to people when they have any questions,” Lunsford said. Council also passed an ordinance providing for the issuance of notes in a principal amount not to exceed $600,000 by the village in anticipation of the issuance of bonds for the purpose of refinancing notes originally issued for constructing streets and making associated improvements and declaring it an emergency. “These notes have been rolled over several times,” Lunsford told council, “They are in regard to the Apple Street West project and the Kroger project. We do anticipate that some time in December we’ll roll some other
things into the bond.” In other business at the meeting, Lunsford presented a voucher from Police Chief Bryan Mount for the purchase of two new Interceptor Ford Explorer cruisers for his department. Lunsford added that two of the department’s current cruisers are very old with high mileage and not worth putting any more money into. Lunsford said Ford Crown Victoria’s are no longer available and that the new Interceptor Ford Explorer has all wheel drive and gets up to 30 percent better gas mileage. “I understand that this Interceptor is a high performance, 6-cylinder and can keep up with the Crown Victoria,” Lunsford said. “Some departments are changing over to Dodges, but we have a really good Ford dealer right here (Mt. Orab Ford-Mercury, Inc.) and they will be able to keep the new cruisers serviced.” Lunsford told council that the police department has funding for the vehicles through the cruiser replacement fund. He added that the two old cruisers as well as two seizure vehicles will also be sold. The cost of the new cruisers will be approximately $24,965 and will take three to four months to receive and will then be sent out to be detailed. Lunsford also told council that an open house at the new Fire Department has been scheduled for Sunday, August 19 between 1 and 4 p.m. Council set Tuesday, August 21 for its next scheduled meeting, at 8 p.m.
unopened Time Capsule and its contents should be quickly frozen to prevent molding and further deterioration. The Ripley Schools were contacted and permission was granted for the unopened Time Capsule in the plastic tote to be placed in the walk-in freezer at the school until we could find a restoration company who would open it and see what could be saved. Much calling and emailing was done to find a company who would try to reclaim what could be salvaged and that we could afford. We found out most restoration work is done in areas where there are hurricanes and storms. A company in Columbus, Art Recovery Technologies, was chosen to tackle the frozen Time Capsule. Loren Collins of that company took on the project working on her own time and many hours at night. We had some e-mails to tell us that some items were completely destroyed but that some items were salvageable. The Time Capsule is now back in Ripley. Come join us to see what has survived for 100 years.
Village.” It then reads “The purpose of this letter is to advise you that the notice, the bid specifications and the contents of your letter are inconsistent with (the contract) of December 30, 2010 between U.S. Bank National Association as Trustee, and the Village of Aberdeen, Ohio.” The letter points out that the sale of the system must be a cash sale and that the sale price must be sufficient to cover the cost of the bonds and interest. The letter then continues “None of the documents we have reviewed indicate that potential bidders have been advised of the cash term of the sale or of the minimum sale price. And by advertising that the System is to be sold to the highest bidder without regard to such terms, the Village has raised doubt concerning the Village’s intention to honor its contractual obligations...” The letter then points out that under the Bond contract, revenues of the system are as-
signed to U.S. Bank. “We believe that any potential purchaser of the System would find it relevant that the Village does not own the revenues of the System and, therefore, cannot convey such revenues to the purchaser...How does the Village propose to meet these contractual obligations if it sells the System?”, the letter asks Grimes. The letter concludes by stating “For the foregoing reasons, we must insist that all duties and obligations assumed by the Village in the (contract) by fully and strictly observed.” Finally, a lawsuit against the Village of Aberdeen by Shinn Brothers, the company contracted to build the water plant, is moving forward. The company sued the village for $828,000 after the village issued a stop work order on the water plant which is still in effect. The next council meeting for the Village of Aberdeen will be Monday, August 6 at 7:00 p.m.
Parsons sentenced to life in prison CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 ford, 29. November 15 “On (Nathan Parsons) purposely caused the death of Richard Parsons in his home,” Miles read during the hearing. Miles explained that the night of November 15 Parsons went to his step father’s home in Goshen Township. “He had no key so it was necessary for him to call Richard Parsons around 1 a.m. and ask if he would let him in.” Miles said that once Richard Parsons let Nathan Parsons into the home, Nathan Parsons talked with Richard Parsons for about an hour about his problems. “He admitted he was thinking about how he would kill him,” Miles said. Miles explained that Parsons strangled his step-father and later jumped on his neck to make sure he was dead.

He said on Nov. 16, Par-
sons drove the truck that he also stole from his step-father to Southern State Community College, where he waited for Cassie Crawford to arrive. “He took her down to the ground by her hair and kidnapped her,” Miles said. Miles explained that once Parsons had kidnapped Crawford, police were notified, and Parsons fled from Ohio State Highway Patrol officers who attempted to stop him. Miles said Parsons came to a stop in the mud in a field where he was arrested. The statement of facts also highlighted Parsons’ other offenses, including two incidents that occurred while he was incarcerated at the Clermont County Jail. The first incident occurred in February when Parsons was charged with assaulting a prison guard. The second incident occurred July 13, when Parsons was being transported to a hearing at the courthouse, slipped out of handcuffs and had to be returned to the jail. No charges were filed after the second incident. Parsons also had several previous charges relating to drugs, alcohol, robbery and

They felt, as I do, that these two men took public money and betrayed the public trust because they chose to hunt while being paid by taxpayers.” On July 19, Bethany McCorkle of The Ohio Department of Natural Resources released the following statement to the Brown County Press: “Upon receiving information that Mr. Warner and Mr. Roberts hunted while on duty, ODNR quickly investigated the matter and alerted the Ohio Inspector General’s office. Based on the IG’s report, the Brown County Prosecutor obtained an indictment. Pursuant to the FOP contract Mr. Roberts was placed on restricted duty. Mr. Warner was

In a letter to Grimes dated July 25 that was obtained by the Press, Attorney Peter Miller of the Kasson and Associates Law Firm discusses the sale of the water system. The letter reads in part; “The letter (from Grimes) notice and bid specifications (for the sale of the system) are troubling for a number of reasons.” The letter references a letter that Grimes sent to Kasson and Associates on July 23. The Press has made a public records request of Grimes to provide the letter. The letter continues “Although you indicate that the Village has not “agreed to sell” the System or any part thereof the notice indicates plainly the System “is to be sold by the Village to the highest or best bidder.” This statement leaves little doubt regarding the intentions of the

There is much interest in the Centennial Time Capsule that will be opened and unveiled at 3 p.m. on Sunday, August 5, 2012 at Liberty Monument, Main and Front Streets in Ripley. This will be the closing program of the Ripley Bicentennial Celebration. We will be able to see items that were placed in this historical box 100 years ago. What will we see remains to be seen. It will be interesting. We have received calls from grandchildren whose grandparents as children placed items in the historical box. A new Bicentennial Time Capsule has been prepared. It is to be opened in August of 2112. Items in the new Time Capsule have been donated by businesses, organizations and individuals to show the life and times of Ripley in 2012. The new Time Capsule is made of stainless steel and has been crafted by Ripley Metal Works. It will be welded shut to help insure a safe environment with no leakage. We hope that you will join us for this Sunday event. The saga of the 1912 Ripley Ohio Time Capsule In 1912 for the Centennial of Ripley, Ohio a beautiful copper box was crafted. There were several Ripley shops that worked with copper, but the crafter is not known. In 1912 they just called the Time Capsule a historical box. We know from the book “Ripley, Ohio Its History and Families” on page 67, some of the items placed in the box. The book says, “the box contains a large number of relics, papers, newspapers, photographs and other articles including pennies contributed by school children.” We also know that at least one hand made scrapbook was

After hearing the plea agreement, looking at the facts of the case and speaking with Parsons, Judge McBride proceeded to sentence Parsons. He asked Parsons if he agreed with the requested sentence of life without parole and Parsons said he did. Judge McBride also asked Parsons several questions to make sure he understood what life without parole meant. “You are recommending I impose a sentence on aggra-
vated murder of life imprisonment without parole,” Judge McBride said. “You will not be eligible for parole and will be in prison until death.” Parsons agreed that he understood the circumstances of life in prison without parole. Judge McBride proceeded to impose the sentence for the aggravated murder charge. “Based on all the facts and circumstances and a joint recommendation made by I will impose a prison term of life without parole,” Judge McBride said during the hearing. Judge McBride also imposed an additional 10 years sentence for Parsons’ other charges, which included kidnapping, burglary and robbery.

New business delves into paranormal activity CONTINUED FROM PAGE 11 perienced an encounter with the dead. According to McDaniel she remembers communicating with a grandfather when she was only six or seven years old. Her grandfather had passed away before she was born. “I didn’t even know who the old man was,” McDaniel said. “But I remember when I first saw him in our basement. My father was up stairs at the time and yelled down and asked me who I was talking to. “I told him I was talking to some old man named Ray. I didn’t know at the time, but my grandfather had died in that very basement, and his name was Ray.” So with strong desires to pursue the paranormal the two began to study everything ever written on the subject, and became obsessed with TV shows like Ghost Hunters, Most Haunted and Ghost Adventures. “We learned quickly from
those shows what equipment we needed to conduct serious investigations into the paranormal,” Barrow explained. “The first thing we purchased was an electronic voice phenomenon, which picks up sounds that might not be heard by the human ear.” In the following years the couple purchased other equipment for the study of the paranormal including and electro-magnetic field detector (EMF), a thermometer, night vision camera, night vision goggles, infra-red camcorder with an ultra infra red flash, special cameras and additional lighting. “Dina and I are committed to this endeavor,” Barrow said. “As a new business, “Haunted and Hunted,” we are currently working with the Brown County Chamber of Commerce to obtain permission to set up our equipment upstairs in the Gaslight Theatre in Georgetown. They have also applied to investigate Music Hall in Cincinnati because of all the rumors they have heard that
it may be haunted. “We had to obtain our own liability insurance, which we have and are just waiting to hear back from the chamber.” The women have tested their equipment on may occasions and admitted they had hoped to have pictures of ghosts by this time, but have successfully recorded many spirits voices on tape. “It has surprised us both on just how many of the spirits voices we have recorded are of angry women who were yelling,” McDaniel added. “We were in an old barn once and distinctly heard a woman’s voice say... “stop talking.” “I remember feeling instantly terrified, then exhilarated because I knew we had it on tape.” Haunted and Hunted now has it’s own website on facebook and may be visited at hauntedandhunted.com Inquires on the investigation of hauntings or to learn more about Haunted and Hunted, Barrow may be contacted at (513) 519-0705.

BY Martha B. Jacob The Brown County Press Thanks to planning ahead by the Western Brown Local School District Board of Education, the district’s high school will soon be equipped with 52 state of the art security cameras, both inside and outside the building. “Last year the board allocated $100,000 for technology at the school,” explained Christopher Burrows, superintendent at Western Brown. “We feel that the safety of our students is one of our number one priorities, and this is a way to keep them safe.” The new cameras were discussed at the July 16 board meeting. Burrows said in recent years, the high school has experienced some safety issues at the entrance of the building. He said the public can enter the main entrance into the rotunda area but then they have to go through the office to actually enter the school itself. Burrows continued,
“The problem we were having was, students would receive a text, then meet someone in that rotunda area. We believe some of those meetings could have been drug related and we wanted to put an end to that.” He continued, “Now, with the installation of more than 50 security cameras, two of which are located in the rotunda area, we believe the problem will be resolved.” He said the cameras are also a good move for the security of all the technology investments that are in the classrooms and offices. In other business at the meeting, Burrows told the board that the company Innovative Energy was currently installing a new control system for the schools heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems. He said the current switches are no longer being manufactured so the school was forced to make a conversion. “This project will take about six weeks to complete,” Burrows said, “we
were able to finance the project through maintenance funds. Once its finished we will be able to control the settings of our system from any computer anywhere.” In other business, Burrows updated the board on the following issues: • high bay lighting will be added to both Mt. Orab Elementary gymnasiums and the high school main gym and both gymnasiums at the middle school; • four classrooms at the elementary school, three at the middle school and the first floor at the high school have been carpeted; • the modulars owned by the school will be moved off the premises next week, allowing for more room for the busses to park; • maps of the new bus routes and drop-off sites will be made available to residents on the schools website which is www.wb.k12.oh.us; • introduced JR Vearil as the new bus mechanic who will be assisted by two Southern Hills Career and Technical Center (SHCTC)

closer to completion. In August of 2009, Sgt. Shawn Newman and Fire Chief Will Eastwood learned that the Village of Aberdeen would be the recipient of 79-inch, 2,233 pound I-beam from scene of the 9/11 World Trade Center attack. Sgt. Newman had read an article about how small communities could request a piece to the World Trade Center and applied for a remnant for Aberdeen. Now, more than three years later, a beautiful memorial has been designed which will be constructed in the village park for everyone to see. Eastwood described the future memorial during a recent ACC meeting. “This memorial will be located behind the second playground area at the park,” Eastwood began, “It’s off Water Street at the Veterans Memorial. The entire memorial will be set in concrete because of the flood waters. It will be an octagon shape in honor of our Pentagon that was also hit on 9/11.” He continued, “As Shawn and I have been putting all this together, we have to take pictures of everything we do from start to finish and then present it

all back to the World Trade Center organization. They plan on having something special, eventually, from all the memorials going up across America.” Eastwood described the memorial as having the Ibeam located in the middle of the memorial. Then five flags will be placed around the beam, also set in octagon shaped pedestals. Eastwood explained that off to the side , inside the inner edge, there will be octagon forms with plaques on them representing the police department, the firefighters, EMS and a special plaque for the 9-11 event. “This memorial will be lit up at night and the American Flag will also have a light on it,” added Eastwood. “The entire memorial will be centered between trees and flowers that are already there. The walkway is about 20 feet from the road and we are currently selling bricks which will be used on the walkway.” Eastwood said the brick project includes the sale of 4x8 inch bricks for only $35 including three lines of engraving and $75 bricks that are 8x8 inches in size to include six lines of engraving. The drawings of the memorial may be views at the Aberdeen Police Department and orders for the bricks or donations may be mailed to: • Aberdeen Police Department 9/11 Memorial, P.O.Box 509, Aberdeen, Ohio 45101 or: • Aberdeen Huntington Township Fire Department 9/11 Memorial, P.O. Box 752, Aberdeen, Ohio 45101. “We are all very excited about this memorial,” he added. “Some of the concrete has been donated and we’ve made sure everything is up to code, including the electricity, the flag poles and all the hardware. It needs to be able to withstand the wind and be there forever.”

He added, “There are still some costs for this memorial and we are looking for donations. We hoped to have it done by September 11 this year, but I don’t think we’re going to be able to pull it all off.”
Eastwood said no firm date has been set yet for next year. “When we do get it all finished,” he said, “It will be a big day in this community.”

New business delves into paranormal activity BY Martha B. Jacob The Brown County Press “The younger you are, the more innocent you are, the more likely you are to see, hear and accept paranormal activity”.... At least that’s what one local woman believed when she and her best friend and their two 10-year old sons, visited the infamous, haunted, Waverly Hill Sanitarium in Louisville, KY. The two boys told their mothers that they both saw two spirits that neither of the women saw. Kelly Barrow of Mt. Orab and Dina McDaniel of Cincinnati have spent the past eight years, totally captivated and intrigued by the paranormal and have recently formed their own paranormal research business called “Haunted and Hunted.” “Since I was a child, I have had this belief that if I am sincere and really try, I can communicate with ghosts,” Barrow explained. “My first memories of
the paranormal came when I was only 14 years old and my uncle, who lived with us, that had Down Syndrome passed away. It was unusual for him to ask me for a big hug before he went to bed at night, but the night before he died that’s what he did.” Barrow explained that in the weeks following her uncles death, she said she missed him beyond explanation. She said she was very depressed and sad because of her loss. “My uncle had always been in my life,” she continued. “He always smiled and loved everyone. He was very special to me. “Several weeks after his death, I was sitting in my living room on the couch, and when I looked up, I clearly saw my uncle’s image in the window in front of me. He was standing behind me in the image so I quickly turned around, but there was no one there.” Barrow said she was both scared and excited to see her uncle again. When she turned back around the
image was still there and he was smiling at her. “I never told a soul about seeing my uncle that night and I’ve never seen him since that time.” she added, “but I knew I wanted to.” Then, 10 years later, she was helping her sister paint in her house and out of the blue her sister told her about an experience she had had, regarding the same uncle. “My sister started the conversation with...’now don’t laugh Kelly, but I want to tell you something.’ She described a night a few weeks after our uncle’s death that she too was sitting on the same couch and saw his image in the window smiling at her.” The two sisters shared their experiences in great detail and it was then, that very day, that Barrow knew it was time to get serious about communicating with the dead, perhaps, even her dead uncle. She contacted her good friend Dina McDaniel and found that she too had exCONTINUED ON PAGE 8

THE BROWN COUNTY PRESS
Committed Rockets look to continue growth BY Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press It was never going to be an easy task for a school the size of Fayetteville to start a football program. As a Division IV program in football and a Division III or IV program in every other sport -- the smallest divisions in Ohio - Fayetteville just doesn’t have a very big pool of student-athletes to draw from. So once they got the program up and going, keeping the momentum heading in the right direction was never going to be an easy task. To keep the momentum moving forward the Rockfootball program ets needed two things to happen -- consistency and commitment from its coaches and players. But they’ve struggled to find either thanks in large part to changes in the Rockets coaching staff. In the span of three years, a junior varsity season and their first two varsity seasons, the Rockets program has had three head coaches. There wasn’t much that Fayetteville could do to stop the turnover. Just a a little over a year ago, for example, unexpected circumstances forced Ben Brisker, the Rockets head coach during their first varsity season, to resign just as the season was about to begin. But when Harley McCullough took over as the Rockets head coach and Nathan Geers was hired to be his defensive coordinator in the aftermath of the Brisker’s resignation, things suddenly turned in the right direction. And for the first time in the program’s short history, the Rockets coaching staff was the same when fall practice started Monday morning as it was in their final 2011 game. Though the Rockets are still struggling with numbers -- only about 25 players have shown up for the first three days of fall practice so far -- they no longer struggle with consistency
and commitment with McCullough and Geers leading the way. “We’re seeing our core group is pretty committed,” McCullough said between practices Wednesday. “We’re going with ‘Attitude, Believe and Commit’ as our saying this year and we’re seeing we have some good kids who’ve really bought in and really playing well.” The Rockets did see improvement during their first year under the new coaching staff. They won one more game than they did their first varsity season and, after a couple difficult losses early in the season, competed with nearly every team they played. But with McCullough taking over as fall practice began and Geers arriving after practice had started, last year was tough on the players up and down the roster. With an offseason to work with the same coaches, however, things have changed. Players feel more comfortable with the systems being taught and with the coaches themselves. “I believe these two are (some) of the better coaches I’ve had all my career,” junior Trevor Koch said. “These two are the best.” “They’re definitely easy to learn from,” one of three seniors, David Watts, said. “I feel like they know what they’re talking about.” Though they’ve had trouble with some players showing up, McCullough said the Rockets have a core group of about 18, from all grades, that have been Committed to the football program throughout the offseason. That commitment combined with the experience the Rockets big sophomore and junior classes got last year is showing its results early in practice. Even with a freshman quarterback and an all new backfield, the Rockets offense hasn’t missed a beat so far in practice because the older players know the offense and can help the
practices Wednesday. “I think that’s because they’re is a little bit of consistency. They know what to expect. “It’s more consistent and

One of the strengths for last year’s Western Brown football team was that it had a very big and experienced senior class to rely upon. Key positions such as quarterback, middle linebacker and a majority of the five offensive line positions, among others, a year
ago were occupied by one of the team’s 18 seniors. Many of those other seniors either started for the Broncos or saw significant action. It will be quite a different story this year. With just nine seniors on this year’s squad, and few returning starters, the 2012 Broncos will have to rely on the few experienced players who return to the
gridiron this season. While returning starting safety Brady Brooks is one of the three key seniors the Western Brown head coach Evan Dreyer will look to this year, the two biggest keys to this year’s squad may very well be the Broncos tandem of returning running backs Jake Lawson and Gunner Woodyard. The duo -- both four year varsity players -- are the
Broncos most experienced and, with the infusion of youth and inexperience likely to be on this year’s roster, know what they need to do for this year to be a success. “I knew me and Jake are going to carry the team on our shoulders this year but, I mean, we enjoy doing it and we’re just going to lead the team,” Woodyard said after practice on Tuesday

morning. Woodyard and Lawson are in this position because the Broncos will be replacing last year’s productive senior class with younger, inexperienced players. While both Woodyard and Lawson will see action on both sides of the ball, their biggest contributions will no doubt be on the offense. With junior Devyn Wood replacing all-time school passing leader Nick Woodyard under center and with having to replace several offensive lineman, the duo’s ability running the ball -- they ran 125 times last year for a combined 560 yards -- in the Broncos spread offense will be key with so much youth around them. “With those two the running game has to be a mainstay in our offense,” Dreyer said. “The last two years we were lucky being able to throw the football but with those two being back, and being healthy for 10 full games, will help out a lot (and) put the pressure off our quarterback and Oline for a little (while) to make sure they get experience throughout the season.” Keeping each healthy will be very important given their respective injury history. Woodyard returned last year to play all season after tearing his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) midway through his sophomore season but he didn’t quite feel like he lived up to his potential a year ago. “In my mind last year I played like nothing was wrong with it because if it’s in your mind that your hurt then you’re not going to play the way you should,”
Woodyard said. “I think this year I will improve and do much better... (I’m) 110 percent.” Meanwhile, Lawson comes into the season nursing an injured ankle he suffered last year but feels like he, too, is back to being 100 percent healthy as fall practice got underway on Monday morning. “It’s feeling really good,” Lawson said of the ankle. “I just keep it taped (and wear) an ankle brace. I’m fine.” Early on, as Wood and the offensive line gets adjusted, Dreyer hopes to get Woodyard and Lawson going to provide stability and take advantage of their unique skill sets. “Gunner (45 rec., 413 yards) was top 10 in the city of Cincinnati in receptions,” Dreyer said. “Jake (36 rec., for 433) would have been there as well. They’re going to get the ball in a lot of different ways, receiving and rushing.” As the two most experienced players on the team, both Lawson and Woodyard have tried to be good role models for their teammates. The duo has worked their tails off in the weight room and during the offseason workouts to get prepared for their final season. They hope their younger teammates have paid attention. “You’ve got to kind of hope they look up to you and listen to you because you’ve got more experience than them,” Lawson said. “You want them to be able to do their jobs.” “I feel we should lead by example and we should push ourselves and work CONTINUED ON PAGE 15

Rockets: Commitment to program growing
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 14 the way we want others to work,” Woodyard added. “Me and Jake, when we’re done, we want the others to play how we played and create a legacy here at Western Brown.” One of the many ways they’ve shown what they say to be true is by taking on additional roles on this year’s squad. Though the coaches want to use their ability to play is space to the team’s advan-
tage as safeties on defense as two way players, they gave Dreyer the motivation to do so. “During our senior meetings those two were the ones who wanted to make sure they were on the field for their senior season every down they could,” Dreyer said. “To make it special, and with those guys effort throughout their four years here, they’re going to be on the field as much as possible.”
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 13 grasp of the defense and the new guys are getting comfortable quickly. “Last year everything was, like, rushed,” said Watts, a returning starting cornerback. “We didn’t really know what he wanted from us. And now everything has come together and (is) organized so we know exactly what he wants.” “It’s pretty much still fresh in our minds and we’re still running the same defense basically,” said Koch, a returning safety and tight end. “It’s easier for everyone else to learn.” With a roster of committed players, no matter how
big, McCullough is confident the Rockets will be competitive once again. He knows the Rockets may lack depth and will have to rely on their experienced players -- they have just five freshman out so far this season -- but he expects those starting players will be good because they are committed to the program. Watts, a player McCullough pointed out as being “fired up” about the program, feels pretty good about the Rockets chances. “I think we can win a lot more than we did last year,” he said, “because we’re working as a team.”

Wright wins Cincy tennis tourney
Morgan Wright, a 2012 Western Brown graduate, won the Prince Jr. Hardcourt Championships at Lindner Playfield last weekend, July 28-29. She defeated Holly Buten of Amelia 6-2, 6-0 and Mary Ostingy of Turpin 63, 6-1 before beating Madison Thomas of Oak Hills 75, 7-5 to take home the championship.
It’s not often that you see an official, referee or umpire jump into the coaching profession. But that’s exactly what new Fayetteville boys soccer coach John Attinger is doing. The 2002 Fayetteville graduate is coming back to his alma mater to take the reigns of the boys soccer program from former coach Craig Smucker after spending five years officiating high school soccer games in the Southern Hills League, Southern Buckeye Conference and South Central Ohio League. Moving to the sidelines after spending time five years simply observing play from his officiating perch will allow Attinger an unique perspective as a coach. “While (I was) officiating I (got) to see what everybody else does,” Attinger said. “I’ve already seen all the other different coaching techniques from all these other coaches. Now I just get to gather them all and use what I think is best.” Attinger comes from a soccer family that had him involved in soccer from the time he was a youngster including some time playing club soccer for Team Cincinnati. He would go on to play four years for the Rockets soccer team as a defender, including his senior year in 2002 when he played for his father, John. The senior Attinger would go on to coach another six seasons for the Rockets. His brother James also played four years for the Rockets soccer team before heading to Wilmington College to play soccer at the collegiate level. Needless to say, soccer - especially at Fayetteville -- has been a big part of the Attinger family’s life. “That’s only thing we’ve ever done,” Attinger said of
soccer. “I started when I was four. (James) started when he was four... (My dad) actually coached the SAY team and the high school team at the same time.” Given his history with soccer, Attinger wanted to get back involved with it outside of officiating. When the Fayetteville job came open, he knew it was the time. “I always wanted to get back into it and the opportunity came about and I jumped on it,” he said. With a bit of a late start on the job after being hired in June, Attinger hadn’t seen much of his team until recently. He gathered most of what he knows about his team after coaching them last weekend, July 28-29, at the Batavia Classic. The Rockets went 1-2-1 against all bigger schools. They played Division II schools Bethel-Tate, New Richmond and Roger Bacon and Division I school Glen Este. “We went down to the Batavia Classic and that’s when we got to know them,” Attinger said. “I got to see a lot of stuff. Got to see what I have (and) what I don’t have. What I expect out of certain kids. What I expect out of my seniors. What I expect out of my freshman. What freshman I’m expecting stuff out of. What I can look forward to in the future.” But Attinger might be able to use what he saw officiating games with the local teams to his advantage. Though he hasn’t been around the local teams a lot in the last few years, Attinger comes in with at least some knowledge of the area thanks to his officiating days. “I’ve already got to see all the players in the league. I know a lot of the coaches just from being around,” he said. “I know what they have now.”
Ward takes over Lady Rocket program from longtime colleague BY Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press While there may be a new head coach for the Fayetteville girls soccer team this fall, there isn’t going to be a whole lot of changes to the Lady Rockets soccer program. That’s because longtime Lady Rockets junior varsity coach and varsity assistant Mark Ward takes over as the program from the retiring Jim Schmidt. Ward has been with the Lady Rockets soccer program since 2003. Though Schmidt has gotten the Lady Rockets soccer program flying high, you shouldn’t expect much of a drop off with Ward in charge. “I don't think it's a big transition,” Ward said by phone on Wednesday afternoon. “I'd say last year, I think, Jim had made the decision that it was going to be his final season and he kind of let me do a little more than he did in previous year. Not to say...he always bounced ideas off me. “As the programs go, like I said, we had a lot of the same ideas. We had different approaches but it worked out well. Jim and I started at the high school in the same year. It's not like another situation where the coach has left and you're bringing in a new coach that is unfamiliar to the program.” The Clermont Northeastern graduate has been coaching youth SAY soccer in Fayetteville since 1991, when he began coaching with Schmidt. Given their lengthy history working with one another, the Lady Rockets will likely look similar to previous editions on the pitch this fall. “It's a similar approach,” he said of his coaching style and Schmidt’s. “I feel the
personnel dictates exactly what you're going do. Sometimes as a coach you have to change to your personnel.” This year Ward will be in a unfamiliar position than he has been in previous years. After coaching most of the Lady Rockets upperclassman in youth soccer, he hadn’t worked with the incoming freshman class, who will see action this season. “Up until this year, I've coached the girls in youth (soccer). There is a comfort level with older girls,” he said. “This group of freshman coming in, its new to them and new to me. We've had a busy summer and I've seen a lot by watching them play. I think we'll be okay.” With several seniors graduating from last year’s very good squad, Ward has been working this summer to mesh the returning players with the incoming freshman. The Lady Rockets went to summer tournaments in Greeneview, Xenia and Mason three weekends in a row. With the girls who were able to make it -- some couldn’t due to other commitments -- the tournaments were productive. “We had 8-10 girls all three weekends,” Ward said. “ I got to see the freshman play and some older girls got time. It's a learning process for each group, whether you're an older player or a younger group.” Though Ward may be following a successful coach, he doesn’t feel any pressure. “I don't think it's big shoes to fill because what a lot of people don't realize is that Jim and I have been coaching with each other or against each other the last 20 years,” Ward said. “We both started coaching in Fayetteville SAY. We coached each others daughters. We have the same ideas.”

Chatfield College hosts National Catholic Education Association Chatfield College, St. Martin, recently hosted a luncheon in honor of Robert A. Conway, noted Cincinnati businessman, philanthropist, and benefactor of virtually every Catholic educational institution in Greater Cincinnati, who will receive the prestigious St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Award from the National Catholic Education Association (NCEA) on Monday, Oct 1 in Washington D.C. Attending the luncheon were NCEA President, Dr. Karen Ristau, NCEA Director of Advancement, Kenneth Famulare; Bob Conway, along with his daughter Loi ConwayDrath, and Father Benedict O’Cinnsealaigh, Rector of The Athenaeum of Ohio. The Elizabeth Ann Seton Award is named after St. Elizabeth Ann Seton in recognition of her lifelong
dedication to teaching. This award is presented annually to exemplary individuals whose support and service impacts Catholic education. Seton honorees have a scholarship presented in their honor to a deserving Catholic school student in the local community. Other recipients this year include Cardinal Sean O’Malley of Boston and Chuck and Nan Geschke, Co-Founders of Adobe. Chatfield College joined with The Athenaeum of Ohio/Mount St. Mary’s Seminary to nominate Conway for the award. Conway and his late wife, Ruth have been generous benefactors of Chatfield College and to Catholic schools and institutions throughout Greater Cincinnati for over 50 years. Through the Ruth J. and Robert A. Conway founda-
tion, the Conways helped support the construction of the Mongan Academic Building, where a classroom is named in their honor. Support from the Conway Foundation also helps fund Chatfield’s Campus Ministry program. As life-long benefactors of The Legacy Campaign at The Athenaeum of Ohio, the Conways endowed the Chair for Biblical Studies. “It was an honor and a privilege to have joined the Athenaeum of Ohio to nominate Bob Conway for this national honor,” said John P. Tafaro, Chatfield College president. “We are thrilled to know that Bob has been named a recipient of this year’s award – the first-ever recipient to come from Cincinnati. He has been a life-long champion for Catholic education in Cincinnati, and is certainly deserving of this honor.”

schools were chosen for their program ideas and funding needs. The school districts also benefited from community support through numerous farmer nominations which strengthened the district’s application. The grant review process includes an online application scoring system based on merit, need and community support; a review by science and math teachers from ineligible school districts; and a farmer advisory council. Now that the finalists have been chosen, the America’s Farmers Grow Rural Education Advisory Council, a group of 26 farmer leaders from across the country, will select the winning grant applications. In 2012, the Monsanto Fund plans to award nearly $2.3 million to eligible school districts across the country. To see the full list of finalists please visit GrowRuralEducation.com America’s Farmers Grow Rural Education started with a successful pilot in Illinois and Minnesota, in which farmers were given the opportunity to nominate a public school district in 165 eligible counties in those two states. The Monsanto Fund awarded more than $266,000 to local schools in 16 CRDs. Now, the program has expanded to 1,245 eligible counties in 39 states. America’s Farmers Grow Rural Education is sponsored by the Monsanto Fund to help farmers positively impact their communities and support local rural school districts. This program is part of the Monsanto Fund’s overall effort to support rural education and communities. Another program that is part of this effort is America’s Farmers Grow Communities, giving farmers the opportunity to enter to win $2,500 to donate to their favorite community nonprofit organization in their county. You can participate in this program between Aug. 1 and Nov. 30 by visiting growcommunities.com.

HEALTH MATTERS TOM CALLAHAN, RPH leprosy. The good news is because of a concerted worldwide effort, new cases have started to fall. In 2002, there were over 763,000 new cases but by 2004, that number had fallen to just under 408,000 new cases. As of October 2005 there were 3,604 patients on the United States registry. Most of these cases are immigrants. The main source of new cases in the United States is contact with the nine-banded armadillo. Strangely enough, the armadillo is the only non-primate animal known to be susceptible to leprosy. Throughout history the most common treatment was blood, either as a beverage or a bath. Other treatments ranged from snakes and scorpions to bee stings. In the 1950s, the first antibiotic effect against leprosy (dapsone) was introduced. Unfortunately it was only weakly effective and soon resistance developed. By the 1960s, the only drug known to treat leprosy was basically useless. Dapsone is still used today but only as part of a multi-drug therapy. The current multidrug therapy combining three different drugs is very effective and so far, no resistance has been seen. Patients with leprosy are no longer contagious after just one month of treatment, although they still have to stay on the drug therapy for an entire year. Tom Callahan is a pharmacist, he lives in the Milford area. Any question or comments can be sent to TomHealthMatters@gmail .com.

As we hit August, it is time to start thinking about our next move. Well, many good managers are well ahead of that, the next move was planned long ago. However, with 2012 being anything but a normal year, there may be a reason to change that next move. I pulled this article from 5 years ago discussing wheat in the rotation. Some of the weed pressure that continues to mount with resistance might be better handled with wheat back in the rotation. The prices used in the article will take you back a few years, but the point is the same. This article appeared in the July 31st edition of the C.O.R.N. newsletter, and was written by Jim Beuerlein, Pierce Paul, OSU Extension Specialists (in 2007). If you would like to receive the C.O.R.N. newsletter by e-mail, simply send me an e-mail at dugan.46@osu.edu and I will add you to the mailing list Many years of crop rotation research indicates that adding wheat to your corn/soybean crop rotation will increase your corn and soybean yield by an average of five percent. With today’s high commodity prices, including wheat in your crop rotation can earn big bucks. Consider that the yield of $4.00 corn and $8.00 soybeans was increased five percent due to having wheat in your rotation, and that you average 150 bushels of corn and 45 bushels of soybeans per acre. That five percent extra yield of corn is worth $30.00 per acre and the extra bean yield is worth $18.00 per acre. For 500 acres of both crops that is $24,000.00 of new income due to having wheat in the crop rotation. Another reason for having a three year rotation including wheat is reduced disease and insect problems your corn and soybean crops and less expenditure for pesticides. Also wheat straw is currently worth $2.00 to $3.00 per bale and is expected to be valuable for several years. Following wheat harvest there is the opportunity to control problem weeds; add tile, lime, or fertilizer, remove rocks, fill in low spots where crops die due to excess water, make a fall forage seeding, or prepare a stale seedbed for next spring. Wheat is no longer the low yielding crop that it was 15 years ago. In 2007, 18 wheat varieties yielded over 100 bushels per acre in the Ohio Wheat Per-

DAVID DUGAN formance Test at Wooster, Ohio. With the current price of over $4.00 per bushel, wheat is also a highly profitable crop. Highly profitable wheat is as simple as1,2,3. ONE is the selection of a high yielding variety with good resistance to the most prevalent diseases in your area, and then scouting the field starting in mid-May for the diseases for which the variety does not have resistance, and then applying a fungicide if needed. TWO is planting within a week after the Fly-Safe date at the rate of 18 seeds per foot of row which is 1,254,528 seeds per acre and at a depth of one inch. You may need to grow an earlier maturing soybean variety to facilitate an earlier harvest to allow timely wheat planting. If planting is delayed to more than three weeks after the FlyFree date, plant 24 seeds per foot of row which is 1,672,704 seeds per acre. THREE is the pre-plant application of 25 pounds of nitrogen per acre, plus phosphate, potash, and lime according to a soil test. Wheat is very responsive to phosphate and needs a pH between 6.5 and 7.0 for really good performance. In the spring (April 1st- May
15th) apply one pound of nitrogen per bushel of yield goal less the 25 pounds applied in the fall. Supplemental Late Summer Forage Planting With the dry period that most of us dealt with in June and July, the pastures were stressed and the need for additional forage might be needed as we head into fall. Hard to believe it will be August when you are reading this, but it is that time to think about planting forages that can extend your grazing season. The information for the C.O.R.N. newsletter is included in the Alfalfa information below. The article in the this week’s C.O.R.N. discusses several options including oats, wheat, rye, turnips, and more including recommended times and seeding rates. August is a Good Time to Plant Alfalfa This week’s C.O.R.N. newsletter is loaded with information. There is a very good article about planting alfalfa in August. The article discusses in detail some of the advantages and risks of different planting times, soil conditions, and more. I send the C.O.R.N. newsletter out weekly to an e-mail list. If you would like to be added, send me an e-mail at dugan.46@osu.edu or you can go to http://corn.osu.edu Here are some of the key points from the article: Keep in mind that any time alfalfa is planted the
following factors must be managed: • Soil fertility and pH: The recommended soil pH for alfalfa is 6.8. The minimum or critical soil phosphorus level is 25 ppm and the critical soil potassium level is somewhere between 100 and 125 ppm for many of our soils. • Seed selection: Be sure to use high quality seed of adapted, tested varieties and use fresh inoculum of the proper Rhizobium bacteria. • Planter calibration: If a coated alfalfa seed is used, be aware that coatings can account for up to one-third of the weight of the seed. This can affect the number of seeds planted if the planter is set to plant seed on a weight basis. Seed coatings can also dramatically alter how the seed flows through the drill, so be sure to calibrate the drill or planter with the seed being planted. • Seed placement: The recommended seeding depth for alfalfa is onequarter to one-half inch deep. It is better to err on the side of planting shallow rather than too deep.

Mercy Health - Mobile Mammography announces upcoming dates for August Mercy Health, which provides quality care with compassion in your neighborhood, announces upcoming mobile mammography dates for August. The Mercy Health Mammography Mobile Units offer women screening mammograms in 15 minutes at locations convenient to their home or workplace. Mercy Health Mobile Mammography includes the Jewish Hospital Mobile Mammography program and has expanded to include three mobile units. Please make your appointment (required) by calling 513-686-3300 or 1855-PINK123 (1-855-7465123) for the following
local locations: • Sardinia, Mercy Health Physicians, 7109 Bachman Road, 45171 for August 8; • Georgetown, Mercy Health Physicians, 4881 State Route 125, 45121 for August 16; • Hillsboro, Mercy Health Physicians, 1121 Northview Drive, Hillsboro, 45133 for August 16. The American Cancer Society recommends that women have a mammogram every year starting at age 40. Screening mammograms are usually a covered benefit with most insurance carriers. For best coverage, patients should verify that Mercy Health and The Jewish Hospital are in-network
providers with their insurance carrier. For women who are uninsured or underinsured (have high deductibles), we have financial assistance programs available. Call 513for more 686-3310 information. Expert radiologists read all mammograms and because a second look can mean a second chance, all mammograms are doublechecked by the R2 ImageChecker, a computer-aided detection system that detects 23.4 percent more breast cancer than mammography alone. Both the patient and her physician receive a copy of the results.

This is part two of a three part series on ancient diseases that you assumed were mostly from biblical times. Today’s column is on leprosy, also known as Hansen’s disease. The disease is named after Gerhard Armauer Hansen, a Norwegian physician. He was the first to discover the bacterium (Mycobacterium leprae) that caused leprosy making it the first bacterium identified as causing disease in humans. Leprosy causes lesions of the skin, and if left untreated these lesions can cause damage to the skin and underlying nerves. It is not true that leprosy causes parts of the body to fall off. The damage to the nerves can lead to a loss of feeling in the extremities, and when fingers or hands are numb they are easily injured or damaged and can easily become infected. It’s these injuries and infections that lead to loss of body parts. A person with leprosy is known as a leper. Lepers were segregated from society in what were called leper colonies. This was probably unnecessary because approximately 95 percent of people are naturally immune to the disThe belief that ease. leprosy was so contagious is now thought to be because many of the people thought to have had it actually had syphilis. Even today diagnosis is not an easy thing. Most healthcare providers in the United States are unaware of leprosy and its symptoms. Also complicating the matter is the fact that the M leprae bacteria are an obligate pathogen. An obligate pathogen is a bacteria that needs a living cell to grow. Because of this, the cells can’t be cultured in a petri dish. The only way to culture it is in a live animal, usually done by injecting the bacteria into the paw of a mouse. Worldwide, between two to three million people are thought to be permanently disabled because of

Can it really be August? Most gardeners will agree that July seemed more like August this year because of the high temperatures. The rains have been spotty for us in this neck of the woods. The last big storm simply parted and went around us! The tomatoes are finally starting to ripen! Did you know that temperature plays a very important part in the ripening process? Lycopene, the pigment that gives ripe tomatoes their red color, is only produced at ambient temperatures of between 50 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit. The optimum temperature for lycopene production is 68-77 degrees Fahrenheit. Any great deviation from these temperature ranges will mean that tomatoes won’t turn red. Sometimes when it gets quite hot, tomatoes on
the vine may have a yellowish orange look. If practical for the size of your operations, it might be better to pick them in the pink stage and let them ripen indoors in cooler temperatures. Tomatoes need warmth, not light, to ripen, so there’s no need to put them in direct sunlight. Place them out of direct sunlight where the temperature is 65-70 degrees Fahrenheit. As I walk around my garden with my Tomato “map”, yes…I have to make a map so that when my husband asks, “What tomato is this?”, I can give him a quick answer. Early in the ripening process I sometimes take a marker to the garden with me and put the number on the tomatoes as I harvest. I planted 25 different varieties of tomatoes this year, so I need all the help I can get when it comes to tomato identification!
hand! The accelerated gardening season continues to amaze me this year. Last year my Magic lilies were finished blooming by August 25, but this year they started blooming on July 25! The Resurrection Lily is a member of the Amaryllis Family, which includes other well-known bulbs such as common amaryllis, daylilies, daffodils, and snowdrops. These lilies are easy to grow and naturalize readily. Magic lilies have strap-like leaves that emerge in spring and die down by mid-summer. No leaves are present during summer months or when the blooms arise (hence the name Naked Lady or Magic Lily). These lilies make excellent cut flowers as well as beautiful garden plants.

ments. 12. Collect seeds for next year’s garden. 13. Study bulb catalogs and order garlic and flowering bulbs to plant this fall. 14. Add extra fallblooming perennials to the garden 15. Cut flowers to bring indoors to enjoy. 16. Direct-seed turnips for a fall harvest 17. Propagate strawberries or weed them and thin out runners. Remember that a gardener can help prevent problems with pests and disease. Handling plants carefully, not working among the plants when they are wet, and routinely cleaning your tools can help a great deal. Encouraging populations of beneficial insects such as parasitic wasps and spiders is a great way to control Insect pests. Routinely inspect plants every other day or so during the height of the season to catch problems before they get out of
