RULH Board severs ties with Music The The Ripley-UnionLocal Lewis-Huntington School District Board of Education voted at a special meeting Sept. 8 to terminate the contract of RULH High School Principal Todd Music.

RULH Board of Education members serving on July 7, 2008, had voted to award Music a two-year contract to serve as the district's top high school administrator.

The current board had voted

4-1 this past Jan. 28, in a meeting that began the evening of Jan. 27 and ran past midnight, to suspend Music as principal, effective that date, without pay and fringe benefits beyond his medical, life and dental insurance.

The board's decision to suspend followed an executive session that lasted more than four hours. Board members were accompanied by their attorney, Stacy Pollock of Columbus, during that executive session, and Music spoke with board members and

Birkholtz during that session while accompanied by his attorney, Daniel Yost of Cincinnati.

While Music was present at the Jan. 27 board meeting, he didn't attend last Wednesday's meeting.

Insubordination Alleged The board had considered suspending Music from his position due in part to what RULH Local School District Charles Superintendent Birkholtz stated in a correspondence to Music this past Jan. 13 was the principal's alleged

“gross insubordination, incompetency and other just cause”.

Many of those allegations regarding Music's conduct had been detailed in a series of documents passed out to the principal's supporters at a rally held this past Jan. 18 at Logan's Gap Campground in Ripley.

One incident involved a high school student who apparently -had brought a pocketknife to a classroom. According to one correspondence, the student had the knife out in class and subsequently used “inappropriate” language.

Birkholtz claimed Music failed to communicate with him on the matter and thus caused the superintendent to be unable to comply with school board policy on the matter in a timely manner. That policy, Birkholtz reported, was for the superintendent to talk to the affected student's parent or guardian, make a report to the criminal or juvenile justice system, and rule on the disciplinary action.

The superintendent also informed Music his reported decision to give the student CONTINUED ON PAGE 11

They also were charged with knowingly assembling or possessing one or more chemicals that may be used to manufacture a Schedule I or II controlled substance with the intent to manufacture methamphetamine.

In an article in the Sept. 5 edition of The Brown County Press, Brown County Sheriff Dwayne Wenninger said deputies seized a working methamphetamine laboratory at 1406 Nutmeg St. in Aberdeen on Aug. 23 after Brown County Municipal Court Judge Joseph Worley had issued a search warrant for that site.

Wenninger said deputies took Francis, who was reported to have a Manchester address, into custody. The sheriff said the continuing investigation led to the arrests of Lewis and Burke, who were reported to reside at the 1406 Nutmeg St. address.

Bennington and specific information concerning his alleged crimes were not mentioned in connection with that article.

Aaron E. Gay, 33, and Erik S. Gay, 30, were each charged with three third-degree felony counts in connection with offenses they allegedly committed on two different days this past June.

Aaron Gay and Erik Gay each was charged with two counts of trafficking in heroin with specification and one count of aggravated trafficking in drugs with specification.

Tommy Brown and the County Line Grass perform Aug. 28 at the 20th Annual Brown County Bluegrass Festival at the Brown County Fairgrounds in Georgetown.

Bluegrass Festival has its biggest attendance ever

BY Wayne Boblitt The Brown County Press The 20th Annual Brown County Bluegrass Festival held Aug. 26-28 at the Brown County Fairgrounds in Georgetown had its biggest attendance ever this year, organizer Don Morgan reported.

Morgan estimated more than 4,000 different people attended the festival over its three-day run. Many of those camped at the fairgrounds.

He said this year's weather was not as humid as it usually is in late August, and that helped this year's crowds grow larger.

Morgan mentioned some visitors came from Australia this year and others came from many states. Besides Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana, represented states included Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia, Florida, Illinois, and Maryland.

Those attending were treated to a wide variety of tunes, both CONTINUED ON PAGE 11

For many years the name Eunice Ott was synonymous with The Brown County Press weekly newspaper in Mt. Orab.

The long-time Brown County Press editor, who died Sept. 6 at age 79 in Portsmouth, is being remembered by fellow workers and Mt. Orab community leaders as a dedicated worker who really cared about the newspaper she headed and its employees.

Mrs. Ott was Brown County Press business manager when it began publishing in June 1973 and became editor later that year. She held that position until resigning in September 2002.

Brown County Press Publisher William Latham said Mrs. Ott was the person in charge of that new weekly newspaper when it got its start more than 37 years ago.

“She was an outstanding editor and a very capable manager,” Latham said. “She loved The Brown County Press, and the paper reflected her dedication.”

Tony Adams, vice president of the Batavia-based Clermont Sun Publishing Company, which owns The Brown County Press, said of Mrs. Ott, “She was The Brown County Press. She loved it – that was her baby. She loved it up until the time she resigned.”

Adams added, “The company owes a great debt to her for the time and dedication she put into the paper. She really loved The Brown County Press, and you could tell it.”

Worker Knew Her In School Mt. Orab resident Beverly Wallace worked with Mrs. Ott on The Brown County Press at different times, but that former employee knew her a long time before she became a newspaper editor in Mt. Orab.

Wallace said she worked part-time for Mrs. Ott and The Brown County Press when the former editor produced the newspaper in her own home on East Main Street in Mt.

Orab; when the newspaper was located in a West Main Street office where a dentist's office is now located in Mt. Orab; and when the newspaper was located at 106 N. High St. next door to Grandma's Pizza in downtown Mt. Orab.

Wallace, who worked as a proofreader and an office worker at the North High Street location, said Mrs. Ott “was fun” and “the best boss I think I ever worked for”.

Wallace referred to Mrs. Ott as “a dear friend, a special friend” and a nice person whom she thought treated everybody fairly. She said when someone came in through the doors of The Brown County Press, Mrs. Ott would listen to his or her side of an issue.

Wallace also remembered Mrs. Ott fondly for some help she gave her oldest son, Bruce, who is now an attorney in Mt. Orab. The editor accepted Western Brown High School sports stories Bruce Wallace would write while still attending that high school and when he went on to college, and he would get paid for each story.

Editor Was Good Reporter “She made The Brown County Press,” Mt. Orab Port Authority President Ben Houser recalled about Mrs. Ott. “She was very good at what

A Tribute to Eunice Ott From its infancy to maturity, The Brown County Press owes much of its success to the dedication and professionalism of Eunice Ott. Eunice quickly took charge of the first issue, and for decades thereafter the newspaper bore the mark of her intelligence, hard work and personality.

She was on a first-name basis with the paper’s advertisers, the people in local government, and just about everybody else in the Mt. Orab area.

In her role as editor she covered meetings and other news.

She made assignments, wrote columns and took pictures. As general manager, she ran the business end of the company, hiring and supervising a team of devoted employees. She did a truly remarkable job.

For Eunice Ott, The Brown County Press was a longtime labor of love. All of us who worked with her will remember her with great admiration and respect.

Grand jury indicts seven people on non-drug counts A Brown County grand jury has indicted a man on two counts of gross sexual imposition for offenses he allegedly committed in Brown County against a child who was younger than 13.

Grand jurors also indicted another man on three counts of domestic violence and two counts of endangering children for offenses he allegedly committed in Brown County.

The two men are among seven individuals the grand jury charged with 16 felony counts altogether for non-drug offenses they allegedly committed in Brown County.

Raymond W. Hornback, 77, was indicted on two counts of gross sexual imposition, a thirddegree felony.

Hornback allegedly between May 21, 2009, and this past June 9 purposely had sexual contact with an individual who was identified only by initials, as not being his spouse, and as being less than 13 years of age whether or not Hornback knew that person's age.

He also allegedly on or about this past June 9 purposely had sexual contact with that same individual identified only by initials.

Glenn M. Senteney, 48, was charged with three counts of domestic violence and two counts of endangering children, all of which are fourth-degree felonies.

Senteney allegedly on or about this past July 20 knowingly caused or attempted to cause physical harm to three people identified as being family or household members. Grand jurors mentioned in their indictments on the three counts Senteney previously was convicted in Warren County Court on Nov. 25, 2008, for domestic violence.

He also allegedly on or about this past July 20 recklessly committed a substantial risk to the health or safety of two children, identified only by initials, who either were younger than 18 at the time or were mentally or physically-handicapped children younger than 21 at the time.

Grand jurors also reported Senteney previously had been convicted in Warren County Court on Nov. 25, 2008, of endangering children.

Terry S. Mays, 39, was indicted on two counts of theft from an elderly person or disabled adult, a fourth-degree felony, and one count of passing bad checks, a fifth-degree felony.

Mays is alleged to have know-

ingly obtained and exerted control of $500 to $5,000 in U.S. currency belonging to each of two identified individuals, who were described as being elderly people or disabled adults, with the purpose of depriving those people of property or services.

One alleged offense occurred between this past April 12 through 15 and the other between this past May 14 and June 2.

Mays also allegedly on or about this past Jan. 28, with the purpose to defraud, issued or transferred or caused to be issued or transferred a $846.45 National Bank and Trust check drawn on his account, payable to Brown County Rental, while knowing it would be dishonored or knowing a person had ordered or would order a stop payment on that check. It also was mentioned in the indictment the check was issued or transferred to a single vendor or other person for the payment of $500 to $5,000.

Amanda Patterson, 28, was indicted on one count each of theft from an elderly person or disabled adult, a fourth-degree felony, and passing bad checks, a fifth-degree felony.

Patterson allegedly between this past May 25 and June 28 knowingly obtained and exerted control of $500 to $5,000 in U.S.

currency belonging to an identified individual with the purpose of depriving that person of property or services.

She also allegedly between those same dates, with the purpose to defraud, issued or transferred or caused to be issued or transferred three NCB bank checks drawn on her account in the amounts of $200, $160, and $3,300, payable to that same named individual, while knowing the checks would be dishonored or knowing a person had ordered or would order stop payment on those checks. It also was mentioned in the indictment the checks were issued or transferred to a single vendor or other person for the payment of $500 to $5,000.

James R. Anter, 49, was indicted on one count of grand theft of a motor vehicle, a fourthdegree felony.

Anter allegedly between this past May 21 and July 1 knowingly obtained and exerted control over a motor vehicle belonging to Chameleon Painting beyond the express or implied consent of that business, who was the owner or person authorized to give consent, with the purpose of depriving that business of property or services.

Billy J. Gray, 35, was indicted on one count each of vandalism

and theft, both of which are fifthdegree felonies.

Gray allegedly on or about this past July 27 knowingly caused physical harm to a video monitor owned by U.S. Bank, and that property was used by U.S. Bank in its profession, business, trade, or occupation. The indictment also stated the amount of alleged physical harm done was $500 to $5,000.

Gray also allegedly on or about that same date knowingly obtained and exerted control over property or services belonging to U.S. Bank without the consent of the owner or person authorized to give consent. It was alleged Gray purposely had deprived U.S. Bank of property or services worth $500 to $5,000.

Thomas R. Smith, 28, was indicted on one count of theft, a fifth-degree felony.

Smith allegedly on or about this past June 7 knowingly obtained and exerted control over $500 to $5,000 worth of business property belonging to Brown County Rental beyond the scope of the express or implied consent of the owner or person authorized to give consent.

Grand jurors alleged Smith purposely deprived Brown County Rental of property or services.

An indictment means a grand jury found that enough evidence exists that an accused person likely committed the crime(s) with which he or she is charged.

An indictment by itself, however, does not mean the person is guilty of a specific crime or crimes or that he or she actually committed a specific crime or crimes.

5th Annual

Suspects arrested on multiple burglary charges5th Annual 8th Annual

Sheriff Dwayne Wenninger reports that on Aug. 23, 2010, Deputies responded to a call of a burglary in progress on Harker Waits Road, Mt. Orab.

The victim was home at the time and called in a description of the suspects and vehicle they were driving. While Deputies searched the area, the suspect vehicle was located, and two subjects were taken into custody.

Arrested were Gerald Sarver, 30, and Laverne Sarver, 29, both from Batavia, Oh., Clermont County. The suspects had items in their vehicle from a previous burglary which occurred on Eastwood Road, Mt. Orab.

The suspects also had their two small children (ages 4 & 5) with them while committing the crimes.

Brown County Detectives conducting the investigation obtained confessions from both suspects. The suspects cooperated with the investigation by showing Detectives other houses they had burglarized. A total of 11 houses in

Brown County were burglarized. The suspects are facing over 45 felony charges including Burglary and Child Endangering. In addition, the suspects agreed to cooperate with Clermont County Authorities in crimes they committed there.

Unfortunately the only items recovered were the items stolen from the Eastwood Road burglary. The suspects stole jewelry items and cash from residences. The jewelry was taken to various pawn shops in the greater Cincinnati area. Both suspects remain in custody at the Brown County Adult Detention Center and have holders from Clermont County.

Sheriff Wenninger would like to thank the resident who called in the crime in progress and commends her for her quick actions and keen observations of the suspects and vehicle. Sheriff Wenninger also commends the Deputy who stopped the vehicle and Detectives who obtained confessions from the suspects,

Letters to the Editor

Money isn’t needed to have a rich life Dear Editor, People have a tendency to equate success with bank accounts, big cars, stock portfolios, big homes, prestige in the community and other things along those lines - even though many people that possess these things are everything but happy and content.

We are a materialistic society and we have bought into the lie that he who has the most when he dies, wins. It’s been beat into our heads by every conceivable means, and anyone who challenges the notion is seen as an oddball.

Successful people have ‘stuff’ to prove how successful they are - if you don’t have ‘stuff’, then you’re not successful.

However, what do you think happens if all of our material wealth came to a grinding halt? What would be left to give our lives meaning and substance? We couldn’t point to our bank account. We couldn’t point to our stocks

and bonds ... or our cars ... or our home ... or our vacation cottage by the lake ... or anything else. What are we to point to in order to prove that our lives count for something?

Many years ago I had an old pal named Richard Figg who lived in a cabin on a bluff overlooking the Kentucky River. he and his wife were good old country people that lived on the family farm they raised a garden and canned their crops to last out the winter, butchered their own meat, raised chickens and fished and hunted and gathered to make ends meet and they were happy as any two people could be. No, not rich, but happy. Next to his wife, Richard’s love was coon hunting and ‘fighting chickens’. He didn’t have much in the way of material possessions, but he was one happy man.

One evening, as the sun

spective. Wealth is all about how well you live life, not what you possess. A rich man is a happy man because he knows how to live well, no matter what he materially has to show for it.

Sardinia church thankful for donations Dear Editor, "On behalf of the missions committee at the Sardinia Church of Christ we would like to thank all of the sponsors who contributed to the PRC 5k. $500 was raised thanks to your generosity and it will be felt for generations to come.

like the moment belonged on the big screen.

With about five minutes to go in the game, the Rockets got the ball back. The score at the time was 40-0. Everyone in the stadium, including the players, knew that the game was out of reach. But the boys kept playing hard anyway.

The Rockets got a first down. Then another. Suddenly they were past midfield and still driving.

Each time they moved the ball forward, glum faces on the sideline showed a little more light.

Rocket supporters in the stands were making more and more noise as the boys kept moving.

The drive stalled around the twenty yard line of the Panthers. The clock was under two minutes and running.

Right before the snap, a voice screamed from the sidelines “Keep pushing, Rockets!”

They kept pushing. Another first down. And another.

Finally, the team was on the two yard line with less than a minute to go.

Quarterback Tanner Williams took the snap, kept the ball and hit the line.

The Fayetteville Rockets got their first official Varsity touchdown.

The final score ended up 466. The Rockets weren’t the winners on the scoreboard...but ask their parents, coaches and other supporters who they think the winners really were.

Those kids showed us what you do in the face of adversity.

You keep pushing.

went down over the Kentucky River in the fall of the year and a golden glow settled over the changing colors on the trees, we sat smoking our pipes on his front porch looking over the bluff. It was a beautiful sight. We had just finished a supper of fried chicken, barbequed spare ribs, collard greens, black eyed peas, sweet potato pie, corn bread and sweet tea and were now relaxing in old bent wood rocking chairs. At that moment, life could not be any better ... with a couple of coon dogs curled at our feet and the birds singing in the distance. it was everything a man could want to make him happy (I’d call it heaven on earth).

I had a chance to see something special Friday night.

I was in Goshen, covering the Fayetteville Rockets football team as they played their second official Varsity game ever.

Goshen is their “home” field for the young football team this year. They are playing 12 miles from home because their athletic complex is still being built.

27 boys ran onto the field, ready to do battle.

Things hadn’t gone so well the week before for the Rockets. They lost to Notre Dame Portsmouth 33-0. The score was 27-0 at halftime.

This time though, things seemed to be going better. The team fought the Southeastern Panthers from Ross County to a scoreless tie at the end of the first quarter. At halftime, the Rockets were down 6-0. The team was upbeat in the locker room at halftime, with coach Ben Brisker telling them “Keep playing hard and we’ll win this game.”

The boys did indeed keep playing hard...but things were going Southeasterns way.

The Panthers were up 20-0 when the Rockets appeared to recover a Southeastern fumble deep in Panther territory.

The Rocket sideline exploded in celebration...until the referee said the Panther player was down before he dropped the ball and gave possession back to Southeastern.

That seemed to be the turning point of the game.

Southeastern scored again a couple of plays later and the Rocket sideline was looking pretty glum.

Now if this were a movie, the Rockets would stage an improbable comeback, scoring at the last second for the win.

That didn’t happen, but something else almost as good did. And at times, it did seem

F'ville-Perry District to seek Russell St. sidewalk funding

CMYK

BY Wayne Boblitt The Brown County Press Fayetteville-Perry Local School District is looking into the possible construction of a sidewalk and bicycle path to improve the safety for some of its students who don't ride buses to school.

The district also is celebrating its second consecutive “Excellent” rating the Ohio Department of Education conferred upon it as part of the ODE Local Report Card.

District Superintendent Roy Hill discussed these and other matters at the Fayetteville-Perry Local School District Board of Education's regular meeting on Aug. 19.

Hill said the district will seek possible funding from Ohio Department of Transportation District 9 in Chillicothe to construct a sidewalk and possible bicycle path on Russell Street, which connects East Pike Street (U.S. 50) with the district's threeschool campus off South Apple Street (U.S. 68).

Russell Street runs east of South Apple Street, but some students who live in the Eastern Fayetteville area have to walk or bike a farther distance to the campus along South Apple Street because Russell Street lacks a sidewalk and a bike path.

A sidewalk and a bike path would enable some district students to have a shorter and a safe route to walk or ride to their schools, according to Hill.

The superintendent also reported he and the district's three school principals had reviewed ODE's Preliminary Report Card which showed the district passing 22 of 26 total indicators.

In a telephone interview on a date following that meeting, Hill

said ODE had released Value Added data the day after that meeting, and that improved FPLSD to an “Excellent” rating for the second straight year on its Final Report Card.

“We were so pleased to have the district rank 'Excellent' two years in a row,” Hill said in a Sept. 9 telephone interview.

He told board members on Aug. 19 how pleased the district was Fayetteville-Perry Middle School had been conferred an “Excellent With Distinction” rating by ODE for meeting all eight of its indicators.

Fayetteville-Perry High School met 11 of its 12 indicators, failing to meet its 10thGrade Science indicator as measured by Ohio Graduation Tests those sophomores took last year.

Fayetteville-Perry Elementary School met five of its eight indicators, but failed to meet its Fourth-Grade Mathematics and Fifth-Grade Mathematics and Reading indicators based on Ohio Achievement Assessment tests taken by students in those respective grades this past academic year.

While the number of indicators for the district's three schools total 28, Hill said that total is separate from, but also part of, the 26 total the district has to meet.

The superintendent reported in his Sept. 9 interview the district will use state and federal grant money for professional development to help identify those areas in which the district needs to improve academically and work toward those improvements.

Also at the Aug. 19 board meeting: Board members approved a contract with Cox Paving for approximately 100 tons of gravel for the bus parking lot at a cost

not to exceed $2,500.

The board agreed to submit a $10,500 boiler repair estimate to Turner Construction for co-funding by the Ohio School Facilities Commission if sufficient funds remain in a pertinent account.

Schweitzer and Son Inc. would make those boiler repairs in a building behind the District Administration Building.

The board heard a report scoreboards were due to be installed the next week at the district's new Athletic Complex with most of that work to be completed by Sept. 1.

Tony Pritchard, a 2006 graduate of FPHS, and two of his Art Institute of Ohio classmates requested the use of the high school to shoot scenes for a short movie they are interested in producing for an “up and coming” film company named Fiscis. A responsible person would be present with those students from that Cincinnati college, and the filming would be done during non-school hours. board approved The Pritchard's request. In a Sept. 9 interview, FPHS Principal Raegan White said that filming possibly was to take place Friday and Saturday, Sept. 17 and 18.

Board members agreed to allow the SAY Soccer program to use soccer fields at the district's East Street property (near the site where the former FPES stood) until further notice. The board also approved splitting the cost with SAY ($975 each) of providing electric service to the concession stand on that property.

Board members revised a district policy to permit Open Enrollment through Friday, Oct. 1.

Board member Garry Luke

said he would check his schedule and see if he could attend the Ohio School Boards Association Annual Business Meeting in Columbus in November as the board's representative.

Following an executive session, board members took the following personnel actions: Hired Brandy Pitzer as a substitute bus driver and awarded one-year supplemental contracts to Steve Shaw as FPMS assistant football coach and Eric Schaefer at FPMS seventh-grade boys basketball coach.

The board agreed to repost and advertise the FPHS varsity and junior varsity softball coaching positions.

Approved five hours of home instruction at $20 per hour for Kiley Larios for a special education student and a home instruction contract for Kim Wiederhold at $20 per hour.

Approved medical leave for the 2010-11 School Year for bus driver Debbie Ivey.

The board's next meeting is scheduled this Thursday, Sept.

16, at the District Administration Building in Fayetteville.

biles. Aimed at elementary and middle schools, ODOT’s Safe Routes to School program is part of a national movement to create safe, convenient, and fun opportunities for children to walk and bike to and from schools.

With projects designed to keeping children from walking in the streets or along train tracks to increasing the number of police officers watching over school zones, ODOT is investing a record $11 million in federal transportation funds this year to make getting to school safer for students in 41 Ohio communities.

The Shelly Company of Thornville, Ohio, was awarded a contract in early August for approximately $298,655, and throughout construction, there should be little to no impact to motorists.

The scheduled completion date for all work is November 15, 2010.

quality, beauty, and distinction

Construction scheduled to start in Aberdeen Established in 2005, the national Safe Routes to School program provides federal funding for a wide variety of projects, from building safer street crossings to establishing programs that encourage children and their parents to walk and bicycle safely to school.

“The SRTS program is a sustained effort by parents, school officials, community members and government agencies, and we commend the dedication of the community leaders in Aberdeen and at RULH Middle School to develop their School Travel Plan and see this project realized,” added Brushart.

National statistics from 1969 showed that half of all students walked or bicycled to school. Today, fewer than 15 percent of all school trips are made by walking or biking. Instead, more than half of all children arrive at school in private automo-

Comfort Lifetime

‘Safe Routes’ project gets under way in Brown County As part of the national Safe Routes to School program, construction of a much-anticipated pedestrian and bike path along U.S. 52 at Aberdeen is about to begin.

According to Ohio of Department Transportation District 9 Deputy Director James Brushart, crews from the Shelly Company will be constructing a one-mile, shareduse path from the RULH Middle School to the Aberdeen public library. The project also includes the installation of bike racks, pedestrian signs and pavement markings.

“Safety issues for children traveling to and from school are of great concern for parents,” said Brushart. “And in order to encourage walking and bicycling, there needs to be safe, viable transportation options, and this project provides such an option.”

Al Rhonemus honored at Aberdeen social event

BY Wayne Boblitt The Brown County Press The late Al Rhonemus was fondly remembered and honored during the Annual Concert In The Park at Old Gretna Green held Aug. 26 in Aberdeen.

That annual event held in Aberdeen's greenspace area is sponsored by the Brown County Historical Society and the Aberdeen-Huntington Township Museum.

Rhonemus, who died this past May 7 at age 83 at his Aberdeen-area home, was involved in both the Historical Society and the Museum among many other activities that distinguished him as a leader, a servant, and a hard worker.

Lodwick Leads Salute BCHS President Dr. Ned Lodwick led the salute to Rhonemus by stating, “This is like talking at the Grand Old Opry about Tammy Wynette and George Jones! Nearly everyone here could stand up and tell a story of how Al helped them in one way or another.”

Lodwick mentioned how Rhonemus had served 38 years on the Brown County Fair Board including 20 years as its president and eight years as its secretary- treasurer along with his wife Patty.

“He just lit up when you mentioned the 'Little State Fair',” Lodwick noted. “He called it a reunion fair – people

came home, maybe only once a year to the fair and expected their friends to do the same. Al was very proud of that.”

The Historical Society president went on to talk about many of the other hats Rhonemus wore including those of a 4-H advisor; Brown County Planning Commission, County General Brown Hospital Board and Brown County Tourism Board member; a Gideons International member; a member and elder of Ebenezer United Methodist Church in Fizzleville; and a member of the Ohio State University Alumni Association both in Brown County and statewide.

Lodwick also noted how Rhonemus had been a longtime member and nine-year president of the Historical Society and active with the AberdeenHuntington Township Museum. He stressed that Rhonemus had been not just a member of the different organizations and boards he had mentioned, “but an active member”.

Lodwick continued, “He couldn't say no to a good idea.

He always greeted you with a smile and a kind word. It was all sincere! He really cared about people. He never met a stranger.”

Lodwick mentioned an interview he had with Rhonemus in November 2001 in which that honored leader talked about his favorite Christmas being in 1932, a Great Depression year during which the children in his family had no purchased gifts and all that year's gifts were made either by their dad or their mom. Rhonemus had recalled how he had received a car with little wheels with a stick driven through it with a nail.

Lodwick concluded his tribute by saying, “I want to close with the words Al closed with that day (in 2001). I asked if he had any comments he wanted to make before he stopped, and he said, 'I had an accident in 1986 and lost a leg. I had determination that I wasn't going to look back. I was going to keep going. “'My family stood behind me. I just want everyone to know that they can't look back, they have to keep going.'”

Others Give Tribute Huntington Township resident Fred Kragler also saluted Rhonemus and mentioned how he had taught many years in the Manchester School District.

Kragler said Rhonemus touched many lives through his teaching career, his 4-H volunteerism and his church service.

He said it just made him feel to have Rhonemus as a friend.

“He always made you feel good about yourself.”

Kragler also saluted Mrs. Rhonemus and mentioned how she and her husband were a team during their 60 years of marriage and how both of them influenced their community in a positive way. He said he was proud of be part of the Aberdeen and Huntington Township community and to have known Al and Patty Rhonemus.

The Rev. James Rawlings of Maysville, Ky., former pastor of Ripley First Presbyterian Church, talked about how Rhonemus would sing a medley saluting all branches of the U.S. armed forces during Aberdeen's Annual Memorial Day Service and commented, “That was Alfred Rhonemus.”

Aberdeen-Huntington Township Museum President

J.W. Lee talked about how Rhonemus himself was a World War II veteran who had served in the U.S. Air Force.

Huntington Township resident Mike Faris talked about how Rhonemus was “a good fellow” with whom he had shared a lot of laughs over the years.

Music Fills Aberdeen Air The event also included a performance by the popular Liberty Cornet Band based in West Union and fiddle and harp performances by musician Tina Sue Larkin of Adams County.

Larkin played some Scottish and Irish tunes and made accompanying comments regarding music from those lands.

Rollins made some brief comments about Aberdeen's connections with Gretna Green, a Scottish village where couples apparently could get married anytime they desired to do so.

During Aberdeen's early history, some squires in that Southern Ohio village apparently married couples at any time and some couples traveled there for quick weddings.

Aberdeen celebrated its Gretna Green connection for a few years with a summer Saturday festival in Aberdeen Community Park during which some couples actually married or renewed their wedding vows. Some of those celebrations also included bagpipe music and Scottish athletic games.

The Annual Concert In The Park at Old Gretna Green concluded Aug. 26 with the serving of cake and homemade ice cream to more than 100 people in attendance.

It’s time to start planning next year’s garden

BY Faye Mahaffey Brown County Master Gardener Volunteer As I walked through my vegetable garden picking the last remains of my tomatoes and zucchini, I realized that I needed to start planning for next year. It started to rain, so I sat in the potting shed and completed a diagram of this year’s garden. I learned in the Master Gardener’s Class that crop rotation is one of the most simple, yet effective types of control for diseases and for insects that have a single generation each year. In past years I have to admit that I was guilty of simply getting things planted as soon as the ground was ready without considering the families of vegetables. I usually would rotate the tomatoes, squash and cucumbers and simply plant the rest of the garden without any special planning.

Did you know that the Nightshade Family members include eggplant, potato, tomato and pepper? I have to admit that I had forgotten that important fact. The other families are a bit more obvious. Grass Familypopcorn, sweet corn, Amaryllis Family-onion, leek, shallot, garlic, Goosefoot Family-beet, Swiss Chard, spinach, Mustard Family-cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, kale, collards, kohlrabi, turnip, radish, Pea Family-peas, beans, Parsley Family-carrot, fennel, parsley, celery, parsnip, Gourd Familypumpkin, squash, cucumber, melons, and Composite Familylettuce, endive, salsify, and Jerusalem artichoke.

The two families that are most susceptible to soil-borne diseases are the Mustard and Nightshade Families. The recommendation is to divide the

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH Look with me in the book of Joshua. The children of Israel had wandered around in the wilderness for 40 years and now they were to take possession of the promised land. In chapter 5 and verse 12 it states: “And the manna ceased on the morrow after they had eaten of the old corn of the land; neither had the children of Israel manna any more; but they did eat of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year.”

Word of the Israelites had spread throughout the land. The people of Jericho knew that they were coming. They probably did not know exactly when they would get there but they knew that eventually they would come.

They knew the story of how Pharaoh’s army was drowned in the Red Sea. They also knew of the kings which were defeated by the children of Israel as they wandered in the desert. They knew that the LORD GOD of Israel had just dried up the waters of the river Jordan before them, just as He had done the Red Sea, so that the Israelites could cross over on dry ground. They knew that nothing could stop the children of Israel. We know they knew because the story of Rahab in chapter 2 of Joshua tells us what she told the spies. And even though they had all that information, as a city they still did not repent as the people of Nineveh had done. It was not because they did not have any warning that they were destroyed. They had had 40 years to repent. Listen, God’s patience does not run out.

Genesis 6:3: “And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man...” There comes a time when God says enough is enough. The Bible might have recorded a different story if the people of Jericho had repented.

But some things never change.

Right here in America, in the state of Ohio, in the town of Mount Orab I teach and preach the book of Revelation. People come and hear it; but do you think they are going to do anything any different after hearing it? They think it is interesting but it goes in one ear and out the other. I am only one preacher in a small town with 4 stoplights. But America knows and keeps right on going its own way. How many times have they heard that Jesus is coming back. Most people have heard about the rapture but

DR. CHARLES SMITH MT. ORAB BIBLE BAPTIST CHURCH www.bbcmtorab.com they do not believe it. Ladies and gentlemen, one of these days it is going to happen. And there will not be an opportunity to repent at that point. That is where Jericho stood in the days of Joshua.

Knowing about something and doing something about it is two entirely different things. James 1:22 tells us: “But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.”

Joshua 5: 13-15: “And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries? And he said, Nay; but as captain of the host of the LORD am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my lord unto his servant?” I believe that before Jesus received a human body that He appeared many times, in the Old Testament, as an angel. Joshua did not worship an angel! Listen to what the captain of the host of the LORD said: “...Loose thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest is holy...” It is the same thing that the LORD told Moses at the burning bush. Verse 15 is the last verse of chapter 5. The story continues into chapter 6.

Verse 2 states: “And the LORD said unto Joshua...” I believe it was the Lord Jesus speaking to Joshua. Chapter 5 and verse 13 tells us that He stood with a sword drawn in His hand. It reminds me of another twoedged sword, the one in Hebrews 4:12-13. It will be that same sword which will be used to judge those who refuse to heed the warning. Will you be like the people of Jericho? They ended up being destroyed! How will you end up?

The Brown County Press - Sunday, September 12, 2010 - Page 9

Mt. Orab Village Council members have taken another step toward making a new fire station in their village a reality.

At their regular meeting Sept. 7, council members selected DER Development Company of Milford as the contractor for the first phase of work on the new building.

Four contractors had submitted bids for the Foundations and PreEngineered Steel Building portion of that construction project, Consulting Engineer J.D. Stine of Bethel had informed Mayor Bruce Lunsford.

Stine mentioned the bids ranged from a low $390,000 submitted by DER Development Company to a high $459,000 submitted by another company. All were below the consulting engineer's $495,000 estimate.

In a Sept. 8 interview at The Brown County Press office, Lunsford said the

Second “Music In Village” event is slated in Mt. Orab A second “Music In The Village” event will take place Saturday, Sept. 18, at Mt. Orab Municipal Park near the Mt. Orab Municipal Offices and The Brown County Press office.

Mt. Orab band Rough Shod will perform Southern rock tunes 6-9:30 p.m. Admission is free, and vendors will have food for sale. Those coming are urged to bring their lawn chairs and blankets.

Further information is available by calling Woody Whittington at (937) 4442916.

$390,000 contract for the first phase of the fire station work will include the footer foundation, pre-engineered steel work, standing seam roofing, roof insulation, gravel base for a parking lot and related work. He said he anticipates the work beginning in four to five weeks and the building to be completed in late spring or early summer of 2011.

Lunsford informed council members earlier this year the village had been awarded $1.8 million in federally-subsidized bonds to help construct the fire station.

As part of plans for that building, council members at their May 4 meeting adopted an ordinance providing for the issuing of notes by the village in a principal amount not to exceed $245,000 in anticipation of the issuing of bonds.

Lunsford said in an interview earlier this year a new fire station is needed because the current building on Spice Street in Mt. Orab has serious structural problems.

He said some small fires have broken out in that building as a result of electrical problems, and the structure's back walls keep separating.

Some cracks are quite noticeable on the north outside wall of the two-story section.

The mayor also said Mt. Orab Fire Department and Mt. Orab Emergency Medical Services (Life Squad) are a growing emergency program in a growing area of Brown

County and need more space.

The Life Squad is part of MOFD. Mt. Orab Fire Chief Lisa Reeves said in a May interview the current fire station includes a bay for housing the Mt. Orab Life Squad's three ambulances, a business office, a meeting room and staff members quarters, but all of those are cramped.

The fire station the village is looking at obtaining will include a 6,400-square feet bay building for MOFD and Life squad vehicles and a two-story section that encompasses 5,400 square feet for each story.

The first story of that section will include spacious areas for gear, records, and EMS storage; a work room; a crew room; a captain's room; a training room; a kitchen and dining area; a maintenance area; and a decontamination room with a couple of showers.

The top story will include seven separate sleeping cubicles for one person each, two individual showers, a crew area, a laundry room, a kitchenette, and a day room where firefighters and EMS workers may enjoy recreational activities while waiting to be called out on runs.

Also at last Tuesday's meeting, council members adopted a resolution authorizing Mt. Orab to participate in acquiring infrastructure improvement funds through

the state's Issue 2 Program and Local Transportation Improvement Program.

The resolution mentioned the Ohio Public Works Commission, a state agency, is authorized to provide local subdivisions with up to $120 million annually (Issue 2 money) for infrastructure improvements, and LTIP will provide an additional $55-60 million per year for funding local infrastructure projects.

The resolution noted Mt. Orab has developed an infrastructure inventory and fiveyear plan, which indicated certain projects in need of funding within the council's jurisdiction.

Council members stated in the resolution their endorsement and support of the fiveyear infrastructure improvement program. They also authorized Lunsford to apply for funding for those programs, and if those funds are awarded, to enter into an agreement with OPWC to carry out an agreement to implement said programs.

The Mt. Orab project title used in the resolution regarding infrastructure projects for which funds will be sought is “Commercial and Industrial Access Street Improvements 2010-11 Phase 2.”

In his Sept. 8 interview, Lunsford said he did not know yet what specific future road projects Mt. Orab will seek to have funded with available state money.

Hamersville Livestock can pick up Brown County Fair passes at next meeting The Hamersville Livestock had their last official meeting Aug. 22. The meeting was called to order by President Zack Wallace. Once again Quality Assurance was and explained. stressed Judging for Department 18 is Sept. 9 at SHJVS. Advisors reminded everyone to please read your rules for your project and abide by them, some projects with posters are required a certain size. Please pay attention to weights tag in times for the fair and all requirements for each project.

Our next meeting is Sept. 12, this is to pick up your fair passes if you have met all requirements. After the meeting there was a small animal clinic provided by 4-H members Lane Day and Drew Day along with Dustin and Kasey Canter.

Something every 4-H and FFA member of Brown County whom are enrolled in a market animal project this year have done is learn more about Quality Assurance. I attended the Aug. 26 Quality Assurance class instructed by Dave Dugan as did several other of my fellow 4-H and FFA members. Brown County has always been required to participate in some form of Quality Assurance. However

this year Brown County stepped up their program.

Each member had a chance to take a Quality Assurance test (if age eligible) that covered all degrees of Quality Assurance with their animal species and pass the test, or one took the class. Dave Dugan stressed what Quality Assurance is. It is to assure the quality of our market animal for the means in which it is raised, for a market animal.

We want to make sure that if we need to give an injection of any medication we put it in the area best for each individual animal. We also want to maintain our records and make sure there is nothing in our market animal by the time they are to go to the market. Each medication and feed product will give us a withdraw time, we are to keep note of this and stick to the standards set to us by the manufacturers. We are to of course feed and fresh water every day our animal to make a healthy market animal safe for consumption Keep our records for our safety and the safety of the animal.

Quality Assurance classes were held for the purpose of providing information to the young farmers of today for tomorrows meat. Thank you to Dave Dugan for providing

Western Brown Preventing diabetes – good nutrition is a good place to start!

Eat small servings of fish, at school and to increase the Adams-Brown Diabetes or other close relative with type 2 meat, poultry, low-fat cheese, amount of physical activity Education Coalition diabetes, if they weigh too much, and soy products like tofu. which students get during the orientations Y

The Western Brown FFA officers held an orientation on Tuesday, Aug. 31 for the upper-classmen and also the freshmen. During the upperclassmen orientation, the adviser of the chapter discussed about rules and goals for the next year. The President, Blake Spitznagel, also touched on leadership.

Next came the freshman orientation which the adviser also discussed leadership and goals. All of the officers had a part in describing FFA to the freshmen and what they could do in the future in Agriculture.

There was games that followed the orientation and refreshments were served.

Type 2 diabetes is often called “adult onset diabetes” because until recent years, the large majority of cases were seen in adults. However, it is becoming more common to see children and teens affected by this disease. The increase in Type 2 diabetes in youth can be linked to the drastic rise in the number of overweight children which is being seen across our nation.

Glucose (a type of sugar) comes from food and is needed to fuel our bodies for energy.

Insulin is the substance which a body organ called the pancreas makes to help us properly use glucose. Type 2 diabetes occurs either when the pancreas is making insulin but is not making enough for the body to use, or the body is not able to use whatever insulin the pancreas makes.

Children are at higher risk of getting Type 2 diabetes if they

or if they don’t get enough physical activity. Minority groups also have a higher risk of Type 2 diabetes.

A healthy lifestyle can help prevent or delay the onset of Type 2 diabetes in your child through a change in diet and eating the correct amounts of food (portion control is VERY important in a healthy diet), increasing physical activity, and maintaining a healthy weight.

The amount of food that each child needs each day is based on age, sex, height and activity levels. This information can be calculated for your child by visiting www.mypyramid.gov. But here are some general guidelines from the National Diabetes Education Program for children and families for eating a healthier diet: Eat foods that are high in fiber like whole grain breads, cereal, brown rice, oatmeal, lentils, and dried peas, fruits, and vegeta-

Remove skin and all the fat you can see. Have baked, boiled, or grilled foods instead of fried. Eat foods that are low in salt and do not add salt to your food. Eat lots of salad and vegetables.

Drink water instead of regular soda or fruit drink. Finally, eat 3 meals per day.

When eating sweets, desserts, or candy, have only a small serving after a healthy meal and not every day. Eat slowly. Do not take second helpings. If you are still hungry after a meal, fill up on vegetables or a piece of fruit.

You should also encourage your child to move more on a daily basis! Aim for your child getting at least 60 minutes of physical activity per day. It is also very helpful to limit your child’s “screen time” (TV, texting, and recreational computer use) to 2 hours per day.

Our local schools are working hard to get healthier foods served

school day. But healthier habits really start at home, and parents have a big influence on what gets eaten at home and how active kids are after school.

If you as a parent are buying and eating healthier foods yourself and being active at home, you will set a great example for a healthier lifestyle for your children. And that’s what it’s all about, isn’t it?

For more information on preventing diabetes in children, check out this website www.ndep.nih.gov/media/kidstips-lower-risk.pdf for an easyto-read tip sheet.

Krys Hess is a member of the Adams-Brown Diabetes Education Coalition (ABDEC).

The mission of the ABDEC is to promote prevention and improved self-management of diabetes through awareness and education in Adams and Brown Counties.

He said she was an “excellent reporter” in addition to being a dedicated editor and mentioned “when she quoted you, she was accurate”, even when a quote may have sounded silly.

While The Brown County Press is now in its 38th year as a weekly newspaper serving that county, Houser observed, “It would not have been successful but for Eunice – that's a fact.”

Mt. Orab Mayor Bruce Lunsford, who previously was a Mt. Orab Village Council member, remembered Mrs. Ott for her many years of covering Mt. Orab village government and said she was one of the first reporters to cover Mt. Orab Village Council meetings on a regular basis.

Lunsford said she was a “very intelligent, hard worker” and “very thorough” editor and added, “She was definitely someone who was not afraid to express an opinion.”

The mayor recollected how Mrs. Ott was “driven” to make

The Brown County Press a good paper, mentioning times when she would go into the newspaper office to work in the morning and still be working that evening when she went to cover a meeting.

“She was definitely an asset to the community,” Lunsford said of Mrs. Ott. Editor Had Told Own Story Mrs. Ott told some of her own story in a front page article in the Oct. 6, 2002, edition of The Brown County Press in which she announced she was resigning from her longtime journalistic position.

“I say goodbye to all my Press friends and readers this week,” Mrs. Ott began her farewell. “It's been a 29-year run, but it's time to turn in my running shoes and move on. I need to say, however, that I'm not retiring. I resigned my position on September 19th, but I don't plan on sitting in a rocking chair although my life will change.

“As I look back on my 29 years here, I think of how we began, in my house, in one room, just Mary Lil Moon and me. She and I both did reporting. I did the books, sold ads, helped lay them out, laid out the paper, and later when we

“We would go to the Batavia office on Monday and stuff the papers and bring them home in the trunk of our

RULH Board severs ties with Music Seven hit with drug charges CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 with the pocketknife an inschool detention is not sanctioned by school board policy.

Birkholtz alleged other insubordination by Music in his correspondences with that principal including: Sharing information with “two trusted friends” about discussion that took place this past Oct. 23 during a confidential conference in Birkholtz's office concerning Music's responsibilities and performances as a principal.

Consistent text messaging by Music during a Calendar Meeting held this past Dec. 14 at the District's Central Office.

Music's failure to lead, by a target date of this past Nov. 29, of the development of an appropriate discipline code for grades K-4, 5-8 and 9-12 as he had been delegated to do.

Disrespectful and sarcastic email remarks Music made to Birkholtz.

Music's circumvention of school board policy regarding an alleged attempt to “accelerate” an RULH Middle School eighth-grader into RULH High School ninth-grade.

Referee Was Requested The board provided Music a Notice of Intention to Consider Termination this past Feb. 3, and Music subsequently requested a hearing before a referee as provided by the Ohio Revised Code.

Ohio Superintendent of

Public Instruction Deborah Delisle appointed Bruce McIntosh as a referee on the matter, and McIntosh presided at oral hearings that took place this past June 23 and 24 and July 10.

In an interview following the special board meeting held this past Wednesday, RULH Local School District Board of Education President Joseph Vaughn Sr. said Music didn't attend the June 23 and 24 hearings and reported while Music attended the July 10 and made a statement, he would not make that statement under oath. That statement could not be entered as evidence at that hearing as a result, Vaughn mentioned.

The board president read a Resolution and Order of Termination at last Wednesday's special meeting before board members voted to terminate Music's employment as RULH High School principal.

In a statement following the board's vote, Birkholtz said Music's decision to pursue his course of action following his suspension cost the school district $55,414 in fees to pay the board's attorney, court reporter and arbiter of fact.

The board apparently came out ahead, however, by saving $57,774.96 following Music's suspension without pay.

Birkholtz and RULH High School vocational agriculture teacher Harvey Stanfield took over the role of RULH High School principal at no addition-

al costs to the district during respective periods from January to March and April to June.

The RULH School Board voted at its June meeting to employ RULH High School Athletic Director Susan Skinner as that school's new principal for this year, and Skinner currently is serving in that administrative position.

Birkholtz concluded his statement by saying, “As superintendent it is my sincere desire to continue to move this district forward and to ensure that every student in the Ripley-UnionLewis-Huntington Local Schools has the best education possible. To Mr. Music and his family, I wish them the very best.

“To those in the community who either supported Mr. Music or the Board, it is time for us to unite and work together in the best interest of our students.

And to those who continue to support Mr. Music or to those who may have questions, I encourage you to make a public records request to read the arbiter's finding of fact, the transcripts of the hearing, and the December 2009 report to RULH Board of Education by (Brown County Educational Service Center Support Services Coordinator) Donald M. Rabold.

“I am confident that this information will be helpful to everyone who is interested in making an informed conclusion.”

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 They allegedly on or about this past June 4 and also on or about this past June 8 knowingly sold or offered to sell heroin, a Schedule I controlled substance, and the amount of the alleged drug involved equaled or exceeded 1 gram but was less than 5 grams.

The two suspects also allegedly on or about this past June 8 knowingly sold or offered to sell morphine, a Schedule II controlled sub-

stance.

Grand jurors with each of the three counts issued against Aaron Gay and Erik Gay stated they had found and specified the indicted men's alleged offenses were committed in the vicinity of a school or a juvenile.

Staci R. Kraft, 27, was indicted on one count of illegal processing of drug documents, a fifth-degree felony.

Kraft allegedly on or about this past July 8 intentionally made, uttered, or sold, or

knowingly possessed a false or forged prescription, for Lortab, a Schedule III controlled substance.

An indictment means a grand jury found that enough evidence exists that an accused person likely committed the crime(s) with which he or she is charged. An indictment by itself, however, does not mean the person is guilty of a specific crime or crimes or that he or she actually committed a specific crime or crimes.

Morgan said the bands who performed this year represented at least eight states – Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Virginia, West Virginia, Georgia, Maryland and Missouri.

Pat Ryan of Reading said this year's show is about the ninth or so he has attended. “I love Bluegrass music, and this is a good festival.”

Tyler Stewart of Goshen Township said one thing he enjoys about the festival is “getting to know everybody” and seeing some people he hasn't seen for a while.

Stewart, a freshman at Northern Kentucky University in Highland Heights, Ky., said he has attended the festival for five or six years, mentioning how his father got him interested in listening to Bluegrass music when he was younger.

He also said he thought Bluegrass music was relaxing.

Jodie Cornish from the Bardstown, Ky., area, said she enjoys the friendly and nice people she meets at the festival and noted particularly how she enjoyed Tommy Brown and the County Line Grass, the band who was playing while she was

being interviewed the concluding night of the festival.

Bonnie Coulter, also of the Bardstown area, said this was her fourth year attending the Georgetown festival. Coulter mentioned how she became interested in Bluegrass music because her dad played fiddle in a Bluegrass band.

She noted how she attends different Bluegrass music festivals and has seen some of the people at those other celebrations she saw this year at Georgetown. She said she has made friends over the years at such festivals and commented, “Bluegrass people are the best people.”

Nick and Alice Rericha of Norwood attended their first Brown County Bluegrass Festival this year.

Alice Rericha, who formerly lived in the Georgetown area, said she had wanted to attend that festival eventually after hearing some of its music drift out of the fairgrounds during previous years. She commented about Bluegrass sounds, “I like music that gets you moving.”

Nick Rericha mentioned the popular movie “O Brother, Where Art Thou?” in sparking his interest in becoming a Bluegrass music fan.

Tommy Brown, leader of the Tommy Brown and the County

Line Grass band based in Mount Washington, Ky., said his band has performed at the Brown County Bluegrass Festival for six years or so.

Brown said his musicians enjoy the festival because of its “big crowds” and “nice people” and added Morgan is a great promoter.

He said most members of his band are from the Mt. Washington area although a fiddler hails from Lexington, Ky. Junior Sisk of Ferrum, Va., leader of the band Junior Sisk and Ramblers Choice, said this was the third year for his band to perform at the Georgetown festival.

Sisk said he loves the people who attend that festival because “they love good, hard core traditional Bluegrass music”.

He praised Morgan as a good promoter who “takes care of his artists”.

Morgan said everything ran smoothly at the 2010 Brown County Bluegrass Festival and no major glitches resulted.

He and his fellow organizers no doubt have their next Bluegrass festival on their minds. Morgan said the 2011 Brown County Bluegrass Festival is slated to be held Thursday-Saturday, Aug. 2527, at the Brown County Fairgrounds.

What could $2,500 do to help rural communities in Ohio? Whether it will support a local agricultural youth group, or purchase new equipment for a school, Ohio farmers have the opportunity to win $2,500 for their community. The awards are available through Monsanto Fund’s America’s Farmers Grow CommunitiesSM program, a program now being offered in 1,201 counties across 38 states.

“More than 95 percent of the land in the United States is home to a rural community, and farmers work hard to support those communities,” said Brett Begemann, Monsanto Fund Chairman. “We created the America’s Farmers Grow Communities program to celebrate that hard work. Every rural community has vital needs. It’s our goal for every $2,500 award to support rural community needs and cause a ripple effect of benefits along the way.”

In Ohio, $157,500 will be invested in rural communities

in 63 counties. The program is intended to benefit nonprofit community groups such as ag youth organizations, schools and other civic groups important to America’s farmers.

“A donation of $2,500 could help a community garden buy thousands of seeds, or help a school buy new computers,” Begemann said.

“It takes just a few minutes for a farmer to sign up online for a chance to really benefit an organization that’s important to them, and more importantly, benefit their friends, family and neighbors as a result of that donation.”

Monsanto Fund also will donate $1 to the United Way on behalf of each farmer who signs up for the America’s Farmers Grow Communities program. The $1 will be donated to the United Way chapter in the home county of the farmer. This offers yet another way for farmers to invest in the future of their rural community.

Farmers can apply online at www.growcommunities.com

or they can call 1.877.267.3332 to apply by phone. Farmers, age 21 and over, who are actively engaged in farming a minimum of 250 acres of corn, soybeans and/or cotton, or 40 acres of open field vegetables, or at least 10 acres of tomatoes, peppers and/or cucumbers grown in protected culture, are eligible. The application period runs September 1 through December 31, 2010.

The program is open to all qualifying farmers, and no purchase is necessary in order to enter or win. One winner will be randomly selected for each of Ohio’s 63 participating counties. Monsanto Fund will announce winning farmers and recipient organiza-

Western’s Gunner Woodyard makes a cut during the Broncos’ loss to Franklin. Woodyard had a 60-yard kickoff return in the game.

yard line. Four plays later, after gaining nothing, Cecil booted a 48-yard punt.

The Wildcats took over at their own 27 and found the end zone on their fourth play, which was a 19-yard strike from Kevin Stewart to Justin Salyers. The PAT was no good, leaving the score 13-0 with 9:36 left in the half.

After a 17-yard return by Woodyard, the Gunner Broncos started on their own 29. On the first play, Piatt hit Gunner Woodyard with a short pass, but he fumbled the ball after getting hit. Franklin recovered at the Western 28.

A double-reverse, halfback pass gained 26 yards for the Wildcats. Two plays later, the Wildcats’ third quarterback of the evening kept the ball off tackle, scoring from one yard out. The try for two was good, giving Franklin a 21-0 lead with 8:23 left in the half.

The Broncos’ next drive went three-and-out and Cecil boomed a 56 yard punt.

Western’s defense held, forcing the Wildcats to punt.

With time running out in the second stanza, Western went for a fourth-and-3 and was unsuccessful, turning it over on downs.

Again, the defense held, forcing a short punt by the Wildcats.

Piatt completed his final two attempts of the half, but time ran out, leaving the count 21-0 at the break.

“Kaden did a nice job, but you just can’t replace Matty Corcoran (injured) in the course of a week,” said Dreyer. “As a team, I think we were all still a little shocked about Matty’s injury.”

The Wildcats opened the second half and marched 43 yards in just under six minutes. The drive resulted in a 32-yard field goal from Pruett, making the score 24-0.

Gunner Woodyard provided a bit of excitement on the ensuing kickoff, returning the ball 60 yards to the Franklin

39.

After gaining a first down, the Broncos committed their second turnover when Piatt’s pass was tipped and then intercepted.

Franklin drove 75 yards in four minutes and capped the drive with a Stewart to Salyers touchdown reception. Pruett’s PAT was good, leaving the score 31-0 with 33 seconds left in the third period.

The Broncos started the next possession at their own 20 after a touchback. Piatt hit Nick Woodyard and Jake Lawson for gains of seven and 11 yards. A roughing the passer call moved the Broncos into Franklin territory. But two incomplete passes stalled the drive and Franklin took over on downs.

Eight plays later, Ben Kirby rambled 52 yards for the game’s final touchdown.

Pruett’s PAT was good, giving Franklin a 38-0 lead.

That’s how it ended, with the Broncos suffering their

second loss of the season.

Piatt finished 13-of-21 through the air for 86 yards.

Jake Banfil caught three balls for 33 yards and Nick Woodyard hauled in three passes for 26 yards.

official Varsity touchdown for the team.

“They were excited (about the touchdown)” said Head Coach Ben Brisker.

“That was a hurdle that we needed to get over. Now it’s time to get in there some more.”

Brisker added that the team showed progress in other aspects of the game as well.

“We showed big improvement, especially on defense”, he said.

The score at the end of the 1st Quarter was 0-0, and Southeastern was only up 6-0 at halftime.

Against Notre Dame Portsmouth on August 27, Fayetteville was down 27-0 before losing the game 33-0.

Brisker was optimistic about the future, despite the two losses so far this season.

“The big picture is there for us, we just need to work on the little things”, he said.

Some missed tackles and

other mistakes hurt the Rockets during the Southeastern game.

Southeastern also had success running the ball outside on the Rockets, something Brisker said his team was working on during practice this week.

“They find that they have trouble up the middle with us, so they take it outside”, Brisker said.

“We’re working on some things to counter that.”

Brisker said one turning point in the game was when the Rockets appeared to recover a Southeastern fumble deep in Panther territory.

The fumble was overturned when the Southeastern runner was ruled down before the fumble.

At that point the score was 20-0, Southeastern.

“That lifted them up a bit and took some of the air out of us”.

Brisker said.

Southeastern scored a couple of plays later and never looked back.

Fayetteville took a kickoff from Southeastern in the middle of the 4th quarter and began having some success running the ball, particularly up the middle.

After solid gains and marching down the field, the Rockets found themselves on the Southeastern two yard line with less than a minute to go in the game.

Tanner Williams punched in a keeper for the teams first Varsity touchdown.

That made the score 40-6.

Brisker acknowledged that fatigue could be playing a small role with the Rockets.

Nine out eleven starters on offense also play defense.

“We’re working on getting more of a rotation going so players can get some more rest”, Brisker said.

“We’re making a few

changes on special teams and some other things so the kids can stay fresher”.

Next on the schedule for the Rockets is Williamsburg on Friday, Sept. 3.

“Williamsburg is a good team and we’ll have to play hard for all four quarters with

them”, Brisker said.

He added that team morale is still high, despite opening the season with two losses.

“The kids are excited to be playing football”, Brisker said.

“They want some wins, but the losses aren’t fazing them”.

The Western Broncos traveled to Franklin last friday for a week 2 matchup with the Wildcats. The Broncos lost, 38-0, dropping their record to 0-2 on the season.

“What can you say about tonight’s game?” said Western coach Evan Dreyer. “We just didn’t play very well.”

The Broncos took the opening kickoff and started their first drive at their own 23 yard line. Kaden Piatt hit Zaine Clark and then found Nick Woodyard for short gains.

Gunner Woodyard rushed for three yards up the middle and Western moved the chains for a first down. But on a thirdand-4, Piatt was sacked for a 10-yard loss, forcing a punt.

The defense had Franklin stopped on a three-and-out, but a roughing the punter call

gave the Wildcats enough yardage for a first down.

Franklin moved the ball down to the Western 10 yard line, but on fourth-and-1, Spencer Howard tackled the Wildcat ball carrier for a loss, giving the ball back to the Broncos.

Western picked up a first down, compliments of an offsides call against the Wildcats, before the drive stalled, forcing another Tim Cecil punt.

The Wildcats ran two plays, netting no gain, before the period ended with the score tied 0-0.

Franklin broke the scoreless tie on the first play from scrimmage of the second quarter when quarterback Connor Stickelman scrambled out of a sack and raced 48 yards for a touchdown. Jordan Pruett’s extra point was good, giving the Wildcats a 7-0 advantage.

Local angler wins junior state title

By Ritchie Butler The Brown County Press Tristen Walters, an 11-yearold honor roll sixth-grader at Mt. Orab Middle School, was recently crowned state champion at the O’Shaughnessy Reservoir in the Ohio Bass Federation Junior State Championship.

“I was really expecting to win,” said Walters. “I was confident that I would do well.

Confidence is the main thing in fishing.”

Walters is a member of the Cincinnati Junior Bass Anglers and has been fishing competitively since age 9.

“I fished my first tournament at Rocky Fork with my dad when I was nine,” said Walters.

The event was a two-man tournament with an adult through the Fayette County Bass Masters.

This summer, Walters has competed in four tournaments with the CJBA, plus the state event, and has fished three or four tournaments with his father.

“My dad and I have another tournament at Rocky Fork coming up on Oct. 10,” added Walters.

Earlier this summer, Walters placed third in a tour-

nament at Rocky Fork, qualifying him for the state championship.

Ron Marstiller took Walters around prior to the state event at O’Shaughnessy and Ron tucker captained his boat during the tournament.

“That was the first time I had met Ron (Tucker),” said Walters. “He did a very good job of getting me where I needed to go. I would also like to thank Ron Marstiller for getting me ready for that lake.”

At the state tournament, Walters placed first in the 1114 division, netting two fish with a combined weight of 3.91 pounds. Walters also nabbed the Big Bass for his group with a catch of 2.15 pounds.

Walters’ state tournament title qualifies him to fish in the national tournament next summer.

The Mt. Orab sixth-grader plans to be a member of the CJBA next summer and is looking to find another club so that he can fish in more junior events.

Tristen is the son of Robert and April Walters of Mt. Orab.

“I would like to thank my mom and dad for getting me to events on time and supporting me all the way,” said Walters.

Cooper mentioned the competition, held on North Front Street in downtown Ripley on the OTF's final day, was a success, mentioning participants “came from all over”.

He added, “It's always nice for more to show up.”

Asked if the competition

will return to future OTFs, Cooper said that would depend on how many participants come each year and the desire of those attending each year's OTF to have it.

Lisa Adams won this year's Women's Division while Jennifer Marshall was runnerup.

The following arm wrestlers placed in specific men's weight classes: - 154-176: Kiowa Fithen, first; Mike Truitt, second.

Georgetown falls to Williamsburg

By Ritchie Butler The Brown County Press The Georgetown Lady GMen dropped a Southern Buckeye Conference game to the Williamsburg Lady Wildcats last week by a score of 3-1.

"We played a lot better tonight," said Georgetown coach Donna DeVries. "We served the ball well and played well at the net."

In game one, Georgetown looked over matched as the Lady Wildcats had their way, cruising to a 25-8 win.

But the Lady G-Men bounced back from a rough first game, capturing the second game by a score of 25-22.

Cecilia Schwartz, Casey Carter and Jesse Kidwell all had nice games behind the service line. Kirsten Grant got hot at the net, leading Georgetown to the win.

"We started slow," said DeVries. "It just takes a while to get started. We played really hard and Kirsten did really well at the net tonight."

Game three was a seesaw affair. The game had seven ties and seven lead changes.

After Alexis Wahl had a nice string of serves, including an

Game four was almost a repeat of game three. The teams were tied 10 times and the lead changed hands five times. Neither team pulled more than three points away from the other through the

first 40 points. However, tied at 20-20, Williamsburg had one last run. The Lady Wildcats played their best volleyball of the night, outscoring Georgetown 5-1 on their way to a 25-21 win and a 3-1 match victory.

"I am proud of them," said DeVries. "Some things just didn't go our way tonight. We have to be more offensiveminded."

The loss dropped Georgetown to 2-2 overall, 11 in the SBC.

Lady Rockets down Lady G-Men

By Ritchie Butler The Brown County Press The Fayetteville Lady Rockets traveled south to Georgetown on Tuesday and handed the Lady G-Men a 3-0 defeat on the soccer field.

"We find ways to win," said Fayetteville coach Jim Schmidt.

"Any time you play a team from Brown County, you get their best shot."

"Fayetteville had a much better passing game," said Georgetown coach Mark Pack.

"We were on the defensive end a lot and we looked a little flat."

Neither team had practiced or played since last Friday so neither team looked crisp in the beginning. In fact, the game was scoreless through 32 minutes of play.

The Lady Rockets broke the 0-0 tie with 7:53 left in the half when Brittany Dozier made a nice move with the ball and scored on a break away, giving Fayetteville a 1-0 advantage.

That's how it stayed the rest of the first period and the Lady Rockets took a 1-0 lead into the break. It was a first half controlled offensively by Fayetteville, however, the Lady Rockets were good on only one of 17 shot attempts.

"The wind really effected the first half," said Schmidt. "It took us a while to adjust. We controlled the pace well, but I was disappointed with our shot selection in the first half."

It didn't take long for Fayetteville to find the net in the

second stanza. Des Dutro scored off a rebound with just over three minutes elapsed off the clock.

Lexi Wiederhold added an insurance goal with 26:50 remaining in the game when she also scored off a rebound, putting the Lady Rockets in front, 3-0.

"Fayetteville's give-and-gos were consistent," said Pack.

"We did a nice job defensively and (goalkeeper) Hannah Jones kept 27 of their shots from going in, we just couldn't get anything going offensively."

The Lady Rockets, who came into the night ranked 12th

in the latest Cincinnati City Poll, did a nice job of passing and kept the ball on their offensive side most of the second half en route to the 3-0 win.

"Our skills showed tonight," added Schmidt. "We are strong as a team and we have really spread the scoring around. That makes it hard for other teams to key on one player. I am very pleased with the group we have."

The loss dropped Georgetown to 2-3-1 on the year. The win kept Fayetteville unbeaten in six tries. The Lady Rockets also own a 3-0 Southern Hills League mark.

Knitting and crochet group doing chemo caps for cancer patients The intense heat and humidity of this summer has not dimmed the passion of the Rambler Center knitting and crochet group as they responded to a request and need for chemo caps for cancer patients. The Patternworks Yarn Company hopes to collect 1,000 chemo caps

by Oct. 29, 2010 which will then be distributed to The Cancer Treatment Center of America, The Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital.

Ideally the chemo caps should be in the hands of any member of the knitting group at least two weeks ahead of the Oct. 29 deadline to allow for shipping time to the New Hampshire based company.

Another of the ladies favorite projects is making hand knitted and crocheted baby blan-

kets and sets for The Pregnancy Crisis Center in Georgetown. The baby blanket project is ongoing and local so there is no deadline for donations to this project.

If you or someone you know would like to become involved with either of these projects or would like to join us any Friday at the Rambler Center in Russellville, for free knitting and crochet lessons or if you have any yarn or left over yarn from an already completed project you would like to see go to a worthwhile cause please let us know. For more information call Mary Kelch at (513) 734-2501 or (513) 543-3137. We truly appreciate and put to good all donations we receive.

Mercy Hospital Clermont holds PAD screenings Mercy Hospital Clermont will have non-invasive vascular screenings to detect a silent killer.

Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD), such as stroke and abdominal aortic aneurysm, is known as a silent killer because there are often no symptoms or warning signs.

Find out if you are at risk with a quick, painless screening from Mercy Hospital Clermont. In less than 60 minutes, you'll receive your preliminary results and gain peace of mind.

Cats & Dogs seldom develop tooth cavities, as do humans. However the dog and cat are not without a major dental problem! In fact, the most common dental problem that we find in pets is considered far worse than cavities! It is called periodontal disease.

This disease affects the gums and other tissues around the teeth, instead of the teeth themselves.

About 75 percent of all dental problems serious enough to be seen by a veterinarian, (and almost all teeth lost), are the result of periodontal disease. It is the cause of 95 percent of all cases of “bad breath.”

In advanced cases, it results in infected, foulsmelling, loosened teeth; with a massive, unsightly accumulation of tartar.

Often there is a loss of appetite due to painful gums. Even signs such as diarrhea, vomiting and irritability may be the result of this disease.

Food material, bacteria, and saliva accumulate and adhere to the tooth surface, forming a soft “plaque.”

This material can be easily removed at this point.

However, if buildup is allowed to continue, it becomes hard and “chalklike” from its mineral content. The tartar buildup causes erosion of the gums, with subsequent inflammation and infection of the tooth socket. The teeth then become loose, and may even fall out.

The gums become reddened, swollen, and bleed easily. Your pet will often salivate excessively from the associated pain.

The buildup of this material allows bacteria to constantly grow in the infected mouth tissue. These bacte-

ria may enter the bloodstream through the bleeding gums; and cause such problems as: heart valve infections (endocarditic) and kidney infections.

This condition becomes very painful for your pet as well as causing it to be unpleasant due to the bad mouth odor.

Rapid buildup of tartar is primarily due to acidity of the saliva – not what your pet eats! The more acid the saliva (‘spit’) – the quicker the buildup of plaque.

Follow these tips for good oral hygiene: • Feed at least some hard food, which will provide a cleaning action.

Prescription Diet is available for both dogs and cats and can be used as a treat every day. Friskies now has an adult cat food available at the grocery store to

help keep teeth clean.

• Have teeth examined at least once every year for tartar buildup. Pets vary considerably in the amount of tartar that accumulates.

• Use a pet dentifrice on a regular basis. We will be happy to recommend what is best for your pet. CET Chews are available for both dogs and cats. Pet toothpaste is available.

Human toothpaste should not be used since it can be toxic if swallowed by your pet.

These recommendations will probably do more to prolong your pet’s life and make it more enjoyable than anything else you can do!

Farm Science Review show returns to Ohio

808 - AUTOS FOR SALE

Farm Science Review The Farm Science Review is something that takes place every September in Ohio. It is one of the largest farm shows in the United States. If you are in agriculture and have never attended the Farm Science Review you need to put it on your “Bucket List”.

The Farm Science Review covers several hundred acres. Most of the ground is demonstration plots that have field demonstrations going on during the show.

Equipment in use for you to see in operation is only part of the show.

There is so much to see that it is doubtful that you can see it all in one day. There are 80 acres of exhibits with everything from hand tools, to cattle handling equipment, to combines, to corn stoves and everything in between.

The Farm Science Review takes place on Sept. 21-23 in London, Oh. London is located northwest of Washington Court House and between Columbus and Dayton near I-70. Tickets are available at any OSU Extension Office for $5 prior to Sept. 21. Tickets are $8 at the gate which opens at 8 a.m. each day. The show ends at 5 p.m. on Tuesday and Wednesday, and at 4 p.m. on Thursday.

For more information about the Farm Science Review, including golf cart information you can log onto http://fsr.osu.edu or call any local OSU Extension Office. My number is 937-378-6716, or you can e-mail me at dugan.46@osu.edu Profitable Beef Production When the name of an upcoming program starts out with the word profit or anything like profit, producers should take notice. The profit is what all operations should be driven to from a business sense.

For beef producers in Ohio and throughout the United States, the beef business is historically a business of peaks and valleys. The market swings can be huge. The survivors are the producers that are able to manage the down swings in the market. There are several factors that go into the management part of the beef business.

On Sept. 16, 2010 at the Jackson Branch of Ohio Agricultural Research Development Center (Research Farm) located at 19 Standpipe Rd which is about 2 miles south of SR 32 on SR 93, several OSU Extension Educators for the Ohio Valley Extension Education Research Area (EERA) will be showcasing some of the work that has been done at that branch this summer. The program will begin at 5 p.m. and end around 8 p.m.

The program will involve the use of summer annuals, synchronization, and stream bank stabilization. For more information you can contact any OSU Extension

Remaining counties added to Ohio Emerald Ash Borer quarantine Following recent confirmations of emerald ash borer in Wayne National Forest, and taking into account the infestations in surrounding states, the Ohio Department of Agriculture today expanded the state’s emerald ash borer quarantine to include all 88 counties.

The quarantine stipulates that ash materials and hardwood firewood cannot be taken from a quarantined area into a non-quarantined area.

Despite the fact that quarantining the whole state will allow for ease of movement of ash materials and hardwood firewood, it is recommended that Ohioans continue to exercise caution when moving these materials.

“Limiting firewood movement helps the state protect against the artificial spread of many pests in addition to emerald ash borer, including gypsy moth and Asian longhorned beetle,” said Ohio Agriculture Director Robert Boggs. “The department strongly urges Ohioans to continue buying firewood locally.”

The federal quarantine, enforced by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, remains in effect. This quarantine makes it illegal to transport ash trees, parts of ash trees and all hardwood firewood out of the state of Ohio.

Ash trees infested with emerald ash borer typically die within five years. The pest belongs to a group of metallic wood-boring beetles. Adults are dark green, one-half inch in length, one-eighth inch wide and fly from early May until September. Larvae spend the rest of the year beneath the bark of ash trees

Got homeschool support?

The Mt Orab Chapter of Christian Home Educators of Cincinnati will be meeting Tuesday, Sept. 14 from 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the park in Mt Orab. If you are a homeschooling family that is looking for a support group we are here for you! Please bring a sack lunch and plan on joining us. If you have any questions feel free to email Julia at Clubbfarm@ymail.com.

32 Ford in Batavia has made an agreement with Ford Motor Company to close the dealership in support of Ford’s consolidation efforts to “right size” their dealer network.

“It has been a pleasure to serve the Greater Cincinnati market for the past 20 years. We would like to take this opportunity to thank our employees for their dedication to 32 Ford. In addition, we certainly would like to extend appreciation to our loyal customers for their continued support throughout the years.” stated Fred Warren, President.

For future service work visit www.fordvehicle.com/dealers to locate an authorized Ford dealer.

32 Ford will operate Ford retail sales and service through September 30, 2010.

(Government fleet sales and limited service will extend through December, 2010.)

The dealership will liquidate its entire inventory of new and pre-owned vehicles by the end of the month.
