Hensley: ‘I just shot him’ Joseph Hensley admits killing John Carpenter last April in Aberdeen, but says it was a spur of the moment decision.

That information is contained in a written transcript of Hensley’s confession to Brown County Sheriff’s Office Detective Buddy Moore, which was obtained

by The Brown County Press.

In the transcription of the interview with Hensley on April 30, Moore informed him of his right to have a lawyer present and told him he could stop anytime.

He then proceeded to question Hensley, starting with how Hensley was allegedly hired by Dallas Tincher to kill Carpenter.

Hensley said he was approached by someone who said he had been approached

by Tincher. “(He) pulled me to the side and said Dallas wanted somebody to take care of somebody for him”, Hensley said.

Hensley said he thought it was a joke at first, but was later approached by Tincher himself.

Moore asked “What were his exact words?”

Hensley replied “He said ‘I want him gone.’ I asked ‘What do you mean gone?’

He said ‘I want you to kill him.”

Hensley then said Tincher later took him to the home of Robert Short in Sardinia, where Tincher paid Short two hundred dollars for a nine millimeter handgun.

Hensley told Moore he kept

Three men stabbed in G'town, Clark Twp.

BY Wayne Boblitt The Brown County Press Three men reportedly were stabbed one day apart early this past week in separate incidents in Georgetown and Clark Township.

Georgetown Police Chief Forrest “Buddy” Coburn reported in a press release a double stabbing in that village had resulted in the hospitalization of two men and the arrest of another.

Georgetown police responded about 1:30 a.m. this past Sunday, Sept. 12, to a large fight in front of Victory's Bar on East Cherry Street in downtown Georgetown.

Patrolmen Shaun Inlow and Matt Staggs arrived on the scene and found two victims who reportedly had been beaten and stabbed. Brown County Sheriff's deputies Larry Meyer and Don Stone backed up those Georgetown police officers, helped secure the scene and control the large crowd of people there. Chief Coburn, Patrolman Vicky Coburn and Sgt. Bobby Gifford arrived on the scene shortly after the call.

Two victims who were

the gun for “three or four” days and was having second thoughts about agreeing to killing Carpenter.

He also said that Tincher accused Carpenter of molesting the daughter of Carpenters girlfriend.

Carpenters girlfriend at the time and Tincher are distant relatives.

Hensley said Tincher picked him up the morning of April 20 and drove him down to Aberdeen and dropped him off on Stringtown Road, near Carpenters trailer.

“I walked down and knocked on the guys door”, Hensley told Moore.

“He called me in. I stood there. I talked to him for about twenty minutes and then the news came on. It had kids on the news like 13 or 14 year old girls, dude. They

were talking about flip flops being the in thing. And he looks at the TV. I looked at him and said ‘Dude, those are kids’. He said ‘I don’t care’.

He said “That’s a hot little ***** right there’. A 13 year old girl. I just shot him. The only thing I thought was that was my daughter he was looking at.”

Moore asked “How many times did you shoot him, Joe?” “Once”, Hensley replied.

“What did you do afterwards?”, Moore asked?

“I picked up my shell casing off the floor and left.”, Hensley replied.

“You walked out and went where?”, Moore asked.

“I walked to the road, Dallas picked me up and I went home.”, Hensley replied.

Hensley said that Tincher

A “First Annual 9/11 Parade and Celebration” with the theme “Let Freedom Ring” was a success Saturday, Sept. 11, in Sardinia, organizer Greg Cassidy reported.

The Parade and Celebration events began with an Opening Ceremony at the Sardinia Life Squad parking lot on Winchester Street.

Cassidy asked those attending to observe a moment of silence “for all those who lost their lives this day nine years ago”.

George A. Lambert Post 755 of the American Legion in Sardinia lowered the American Flag to half-staff at the ceremony and played “Taps” to honor the Sept. 11, 2001, victims.

13.

Mt. Orab Church of Christ Minister Joe Strunk called the funeral services a celebration of Mr. Whitehead's life, noting how he had loved life and enjoyed being around people.

As part of the funeral services, Strunk allowed some of those attending to tell humorous or inspirational anecdotes they remembered from their acquaintance with Mr. Whitehead.

In a telephone interview this past Tuesday, Sept. 14, Strunk said Mr. Whitehead loved his family for sure, loved working with horses and “loved the Lord very deeply”.

The minister said Mr. Whitehead truly loved people and if he saw someone with a need he could do something about, he would.

He undoubtedly expressed the feeling of Mr. Whitehead's friends when he said during the funeral services, “Whitey, you may be gone, but you'll never be forgotten.”

Another speaker at the funeral was Dennis Faulkner of Bloomington, Ind., whom Mr. Whitehead and his wife, Carol, has raised as a son.

Faulkner talked about how Whitey and Carol Whitehead had taken him in when he was 3 when his mother had cancer and they thought she was going to die.

The Brown County Commissioners are looking for a Deputy Dog Warden.

Commission President Margery Paeltz said Sept. 14 that two employees who work for Dog Warden Bill Frazier will no longer be employed as of October 1.

They are being paid for through Temporary Assistance for Needy Families or TANF funds from the state of Ohio.

That funding will end Sept 30.

Paeltz said that a final determination of the duties and hours of the new employee will be depends on who applies.

The position will be funded through the county Dog and Kennel Fund, and Paeltz said it may be possible to employ two part-time employees rather than one full-time person.

If a person is employed with the county for more than 28 hours per week, they are considered full-time and benefits for them must be funded.

The Dog and Kennel fund is generated by tag and adoption fees, fines and donations to the Brown County Animal

Shelter.

Paeltz added that she and the other commissioners valued and appreciated the work done at the animal shelter by the Brown County Humane Society.

“They donate, time and labor and they also do a great jobs with dog rescues. They are very instrumental in keeping things going”, Paeltz said.

Frazier said that he and his staff have been very busy so far this year, answering 3600 calls, dealing with 750 complaints and taking in over 600 dogs.

Of those 600, only 90 were euthanized, Frazier said.

“Most of those had to be euthanized due to aggression or health issues”, Frazier added.

Anyone interested in applying for the Deputy Dog Warden position can find more information in the Help Wanted section of this newspaper.

Applications are also available at the Brown County Commissioners office at 800 Mt. Orab Pike in Georgetown or from the B r o w n C o u n t y Commissioners website www.browncountycommissi oners.gov.

BY Wayne Boblitt The Brown County Press Sept. 11, 2001, is not just a tragic day from the pages of U.S. history for one Jackson Township resident.

Guy McRoberts, who is now 90, was very close to the site where and when one of the tragic events from that day occurred.

Terrorists hijacked four airplanes that day and flew three of them on “suicide missions” into both Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City and the Pentagon in Arlington, Va., just outside Washington, D.C. The fourth airplane crashed in a Western Pennsylvania rural field after some of its passengers fought with the hijackers and kept that plane from reaching its intended target, which some believe may have been the U.S. Capitol Building in Washington, D.C. McRoberts and six other members of the Lexington, Ky.-based Burley Tobacco Growers Cooperative Association, a group that works on behalf of farmers involved in burley tobacco production, were in the United States' capital city on that Sept. 11 nine years ago.

He recalled how they had talked to a U.S. representative from Kentucky in the Cannon House Office Building and had seen the news about that morning's terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center on a television in her office.

The Cooperative representatives then took an elevator to a tunnel where they were trans-

ported to the Longworth House Office Building. He estimated they had walked half the length in that building toward another U.S. representative's office they planned to visit when they heard an announcement ordering everyone to vacate that building and go out on the street.

days after the company took control of the former assets of Brown Publishing.

That information comes from a press release issued on Monday from Santa Fe, NM, based Dirks, Van Essen & Murray, the firm involved in looking for potential buyers.

Ohio Community Media was formed by major debtholders in the wake of Brown Publishings bankruptcy.

The former lenders took control of substantially all of Brown Publishings publications earlier this month when the bankruptcy auction bid by former CEO Roy Brown and two other Brown Publishing insiders failed to get financing. The banks’ credit bid of $21.8 million was the second highest in the auction and became the winning bid.

The press release from Dirks, Van Essen and Murray said the firm expects to begin a formal exploration process for Ohio Community Media’s publishing assets within the next month.

A company representative declined further comment on the potential sale, saying that it was too early in the process to be able to discuss specifics. the “Company Under Profile” on the DVM website the company is described as “the leading merger-and-acquisition firm in the U.S. newspaper industry. Since its inception in 1980, the firm has focused primarily on assisting companies in the sale, acquisition and valuation of daily and weekly newspapers for a variety of purposes.”

just like the World Trade Center, had been attacked by an airplane. He said some of those on the street were on their knees praying.

McRoberts said he and the other six Cooperative members walked to the Holiday Inn where they were staying in Washington near the Capitol Building, and he remembered seeing some marksmen stationed on that building's roof with anti-aircraft weapons aimed to shoot down a plane that could be heading toward the U.S. Capitol.

He also recalled how they could see smoke coming from the burning Pentagon toward the city of Washington.

McRoberts said when they ate later that day at the Holiday Inn, they talked about how fortunate they were to be on that side of the Potomac River – the District of Columbia – rather than on the other side where the Pentagon had been attacked in Virginia.

He said they all stood up and prayed out loud, one at a time, thanking God for His protection, and he said he glanced during the prayers and noticed nearly everyone else in that cafeteria had their heads bowed in prayer as well.

McRoberts said he saw the Pentagon again two years ago, and repairs on that building have made it appear as though nothing ever had happened there on that fateful September Tuesday in 2001.

“You have to be there to realize how close you were to being blown to 'Kingdom Come',” McRoberts recalled his presence in the District of Columbia the day terrorists attacked the nearby Pentagon and killed many people at that building.

McRoberts told his story this past Sept. 11 to some listeners gathered at the Ohio Valley Antique Machinery Show Grounds in Lewis Township for a fund-raising Tractor Drive sponsored by the Brown County Institute For the Enhancement of Education (see separate story).

McRoberts, who is chaplain and adjutant of Walter Miller Post 394 of the American Legion in Russellville, participated with other American Legion members that morning in an Opening Ceremony held before the Tractor Drive commenced.

McRoberts offered a prayer, led his listeners in the Pledge of Allegiance to the U.S. Flag and sang “God Bless America” at that Opening Ceremony.

An adult and two children were reported to have been seriously injured in a twovehicle traffic crash that occurred Sept. 9 in Byrd Township.

The Ohio State Highway Patrol Post at Georgetown reported the crash occurred about 3:10 p.m. that Thursday on State Route 125 near the Milepost 20 marker.

Troopers stated a 1999 Ford F-150 driven by Bianca Brock, 18, of Hamersville, was traveling westbound on SR 125 while a 2003 Dodge Neon driven by Jillian Truitt, 33, of Winchester, was traveling eastbound on that highway.

In a press release issued by the Georgetown Post, troopers stated the preliminary investigation indicated Brock drove off the right side of SR 125, overcorrected, then traveled into the eastbound lane of SR 125. Her vehicle then reportedly struck Truitt's vehicle head-on.

“Most times of the year, we’ve seen people go for three or four weeks at a time on just solar energy to heat the water”, Adams said.

Adams Brown Recycling Director Dan Wickerham said he wanted the panels installed as a reminder to recycle and as an education tool for visitors to the center.

“As a recycler, we are an environmentally responsible company and this is the environmentally responsible thing

to do”, Wickerham said.

Wickerham added that while comparing the cost of the solar water heating system to a traditional one, customers should consider more than just the few dollars paid on their utility bills each month.

“There are a lot of costs to society that don’t appear on electric bill”, your Wickerham said.

He mentioned the pollution generated by power plants and production and delivery costs of the fuel among other factors.

The Adams Brown recycling center in Georgetown is recycling something new these days...heat from the sun.

The center is installing a water heating system that uses collected sunlight instead of natural gas or electricity to heat the water for their building on Mt. Orab Pike.

The system is being installed by the SunRock company from Solar Cincinnati.

Owner Carl Adams said the system will cost about $8500 dollars to install.

That’s quite a bit more than a common water heater, but Adams said some of the cost can be made up through lower energy costs.

“It’s a long payback, but what’s the payback if you don’t do anything?”, Adams said.

“You’ll just keep on using and paying for more energy to heat your water.”

The solar thermal system consists of two 4’ by 8’ panels mounted on the outside wall of the recycling center.

Adams said distilled water inside the panels is circulated though them and then routed to a tank below.

The heat from the water is then used to heat the water inside the hot water tank.

Adams said the two sources of water are not mixed together.

The system has a backup natural gas heater for use

Letters to the Editor

Eastern parent calls for input, support Dear Editor, The ELSD School Board of Education will be hosting public forums monthly, before the regularly scheduled meetings this year. On Tuesday, Sept. 21 at 6:30 p.m., Mr. Simmons and members of the Board of Education will be available to answer questions and concerns about the district’s current funding constraints and discuss the long-range goals and plans for our district. The regularly scheduled meeting will begin at 7 p.m. Those who are interested in speaking at the regularly scheduled, monthly meeting will still need to contact the District Office and request to be put on the meeting agenda.

As many of you know, classrooms district wide have enrollments of 27-29 students per class and less support staff in each building. Last spring, it was publicly stated that plans were being made to pre-

vent class sizes of greater than 30 students. Enrollment in our school often increases after the fair. Steps will quickly need to be taken to alleviate the current large class sizes in the event that more students move into the district. It is in the best interest of our children to find out if such plans are feasible and ready to implement.

With possible federal stimulus money arriving in the late fall, it is our responsibility as parents to make sure that any new funding is responsibly and equitably spent. Our students deserve the best education that we can provide.

We as parents must be willing to actively participate in the decisions being made about education and services in our district. But more importantly, we must be willing to act. We must be willing to volunteer time or services if it is required or requested of us to help lessen the impact of the

unless we are willing to show up, stand up, and speak out for our children’s future.

Reader is grateful for prompt emergency help Dear Editor, During the last two months I have had to call 911 for my husbands illness. I just want to express my thanks to 911 for their efficient help to get Mt. Orab’s life squad here in just a few minutes. Before I could follow directions to turn on the porch lights and open the door, Mt. Orab’s policeman was pulling up in front of my house, immediately followed by the squad with at least three wonderful efficient men quickly entering our home to supply the help we

needed. This has happened on two occasions and the last time 3 policemen and 3 squad men came very quickly again.

I do not know the names of all the great guys or the policemen's names but they do. I was so proud of all of them for the way they came in concerned and helpful and got us to the hospital in ample time to help my husband Bob on both occasions.

My heartfelt thanks go out to the men for the response and care they gave us.

He lives on Misty Lane, which is off Dela Palma, past Green Bush, before Buford.

The neighbor said he saw a boy with her, how old I don’t know. There are many dogs on that street, why he would pick her I don’t know.

Her name is Cassie, just a

mutt, no special breed, tan, about 35 pounds. She had a blue and white UK collar on. I have searched for her since.

I’ve heard she was seen in Buford. If anyone knows or have seen a boy with her that didn’t have a dog like her would you please call me on my cell (513) 375-7349 or (513) 628-5371.

JENI WHITAKER, COLUMNIST also about the people around you. I know I’m not alone in my love for Mr. B. Even kids that hated school loved his class and did well in it. He wanted to broaden his kids’ minds and he certainly did.

There are also some honorable mentions: Ms. Stout- I loved her class, and you could really talk to her about anything. Ms. Henline- I didn’t appreciate her when I had her, and I wish I would have. I think back to some of the experiments I did in her class and think about how cool they were for 6th grade. Mrs. PietyFor introducing me to Vincent van Gogh in 2nd grade. Mr. Baird- He made History and various Wars come alive for me. Mrs. Wells- The best English teacher I ever had, and that includes college. I can not finish this piece without including the unforgettable and always lovable Mr. Ball.

Everyone has a Mr. Ball story.

Thank goodness, I still see him at least once a week around Mt. Orab. He still calls me by my maiden name, Caudill, and he still tells me the best stories ever.

Throughout my school career I was lucky enough to have some of the best teachers around. However, one sticks out above all others and that would be, Mr. Berlinger or Mr. B., as most of us called him.

He taught 6th Social Studies at Mt. Orab Elementary and is a legend among men with most everyone I know.

First off he taught us about more than just the stodgy world around us. He taught us about Greek and Roman Gods and Goddesses, classic myths and poems, and he taught those in lecture style. The material was fascinating, the delivery was exciting, and the whole experience unforgettable. Not to mention the highly competitive board races we had to prepare us for the tests.

He also used a mnemonic device to help us remember the Presidents in order. I still remember most of them (When A Jerk Makes Marilyn Angry Jump = Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, JQ Adams, Jackson).

The ones I forgot, I made new ones up for my sons. My 9 year old can recite them in order using the same method I learned in 6th grade, which is pretty awesome.

Mr. B. was the first teacher to treat you like an adult. He read this horrible child abuse story to his class every year and it really made you think.

Not just about yourself, but

Education.

That board adopted a new Seat Belt Policy for the 201011 School Year under which ELHS students in moving vehicles who are observed in the school parking lot without their seat belts buckled will be subject to disciplinary action.

Those students could be either arriving or leaving the ELHS Campus.

The ELHS SADD Chapter had requested the Eastern School Board adopt such a policy as part of that chapter's participation in the Annual 2010 Brown County High School Seat Belt Challenge co-sponsored by BCSC and the Brown County 4-H Carteens.

Day told the audience at last Tuesday's Awards Program the focus of that SADD Chapter's request was to keep students safe.

Sardinia Council contracts with agency for tax work

BY Wayne Boblitt The Brown County Press

The village of Sardinia will have an outside agency administer its income tax laws now.

Sardinia Village Council members at their regular meeting Sept. 13 adopted an ordinance authorizing Mayor Todd Bumbalough and Fiscal Officer Karen Miller to enter into an agreement with Regional Income Tax Agency in Brecksville to undertake that work.

RITA not only will administer Sardinia's income tax laws but also will act as the village's agent in the collection of those taxes.

Council members suspended the rules so the ordinance could be adopted on its first reading rather than after three separate readings.

The council also declared the ordinance to be an emergency

measure so it would be in full force and effect immediately upon its adoption.

Council members adopted a financial/budgetary resolution as well this past Monday to make interfund transfers totaling $1,187.50 in the village's budget and to authorize Miller to properly record the same.

As with the RITA ordinance, council members suspended the rules so the resolution could be adopted on its first reading.

They also declared the resolution to be an emergency so it could take effect at the earliest time allowed by law with that time being Friday, Oct. Meeting dates were set for the Sardinia Village Council Finance Committee at 6 p.m. this Monday, Sept. 20, and the council's Economic Development Committee at 6 p.m. Monday, Sept. 27. Both meetings are scheduled at Sardinia Town Hall, 151 Maple Ave.

Seat Belt Challenge.

It was mentioned Marriott was a member of the first official Higginsport Volunteer Fire Department, which prompted Basta to comment, “Obviously, you have safety roots from way back then.”

Marriott and his late wife Inez also generously supported numerous community programs and efforts such as Hospice of Hope, the U.S. Grant Association and the Ohio Tobacco Festival with both their time and their financial resources.

Coburn Is Lauded Liaison Coburn received her Friend of Brown County Safe Communities Award for her ongoing assistance as a liaison between BCSC and the OSHP Post in Georgetown over the past 10 years.

The Awards Program stated, “Before the Ohio Department of Public Safety developed its web-based ODPS Crash Statistics data base a couple of years ago, Vicky provided the Safe Communities Program with the local crash statistics each quarter so that we could monitor the types of crashes occurring (and the factors involved with those crashes) on an ongoing basis.

“In addition, Vicky always made sure that our Fatal Crash Data Review Committee received copies of each fatal crash's OH-1 report from the Highway Patrol in a timely manner.”

State Rep. Danny Bubp, a member of the BCSC Coalition, was unable to attend this past Tuesday morning's program but sent Commendation Certificates from the Ohio House of Representatives for each Friend of Brown County Safe Communities Award recipient to recognize their contributions to BCSC. Basta thanked the Georgetown High School Family, Career and Communities Leader of America Chapter for hosting that program's breakfast and FCCLA Chapter Advisor Brenda Dixon for donating that food and also thanked GJSHS Principal Perianne Germann and the Georgetown Exempted

Village School District administration for allowing the GJSHS Cafetorium to host the awards program.

A medical helicopter service, a school board and two individuals were honored Sept. 14 as the 2010 Friend of Brown County Safe Communities Award recipients in a ceremony in the Georgetown JuniorHigh School Senior Cafetorium.

BCSC Project Director Sue Basta said that program stresses traffic safety including seat belt usage.

The program is funded by the U.S. Department of Tr a n s p o r t a t i o n / N a t i o n a l Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Ohio Department of Public Safety/Ohio Traffic Safety Office.

It is administered by and the HEALTH-UC University of Cincinnati Area Health Education Center Program.

This year's honored recipients were Air Evac LifeteamBase 89, a medical helicopter service that opened in Georgetown in 2009; the Eastern Local School District of Education; Board Higginsport resident Dwight Marriott; and Secretary Vicky Coburn with Ohio State Highway Patrol Post 8 in Georgetown.

Air Evac Honored “We're really appreciative of Air Evac,” Basta said before presenting the award for that medical helicopter service to Air Evac Program Director Kay Bardoorian.

Basta said the medical helicopter service not only is an asset to traffic crash victims who are suffering trauma but also to seriously ill people in Brown County who need quick transportation to a hospital.

The Awards Program mentioned how Air Evac LifeteamBase 89 has extensively participated in Brown County high schools' mock crashes this past spring and recently had joined the Brown County Safe Communities Coalition.

Members from the Western Brown FFA attended the Pioneer Field Day at Howser Farms in Mount Orab on Tuesday, Sept. 7. Those who attended were Dara Howser, Drew Howser, Emily Siemer, Tyler Spitznagel, and Corey Spitznagel. Members were able to walk through the corn and soybean plots and learn a little about each different variety of corn and soybeans from a Pioneer agronomist.

Chatfield to hold first-ever Homecoming celebration Chatfield College will host its first-ever Homecoming celebration October 16, 2010 at the St. Martin campus located in Brown County. The all-day event will include an alumni reception, a procession to the Ursuline Cemetery, a student-produced variety show, an art show, picnic, live entertainment along with corn hole and tennis tournaments.

The Chatfield College Alumni Association plans to reconnect the almost 1,000 living alumni during the daylong celebration.

“To be such a small college and to see so many people from different graduating classes, it feels like one big family even if I never had the opportunity to meet them all personally,” says Carmen Summers, Vice President of the Chatfield College Alumni Association.

Chatfield experienced its highest enrollment this fall far surpassing last year’s enrollment by more than 70 percent, leading Chatfield President John Tafaro to encourage the ever-growing student body to organize a large-scale Homecoming event.

“As the fastest growing College in greater Cincinnati, we have a lot to be excited about. We want to celebrate not only with our current students, but with our incredible alumni, faculty, staff, supporters and neighbors who helped make us who we are today,” says Tafaro.

Established in 1971, Chatfield will celebrate its 40year anniversary in 2011 and the Homecoming celebration

will reflect on the history of Chatfield. “The history of our school is what makes Chatfield, Chatfield. You can’t put into words how much work the Ursuline Sisters put into making the school what it is today. I am so proud of our heritage and happy to celebrate it,” says

Summers.

Because Chatfield is offering many of the events and food free of charge, please RSVP to Britney Grimmelsman at Britney.grimmelsman@chatfi eld.edu or call 513-921-9856 ext. 211.

WHO THINKS FOR YOU? In the 27th chapter of the book of Matthew we find the Roman government letting a robber and murderer go absolutely free. How can the guilty just go free? Let’s look.

Verse 15: “Now at that feast the governor was wont to release unto the people a prisoner, whom they would.” At the feast of the Jewish Passover the people had a choice of who they wanted to set free. The Passover took place when Moses was called by God to lead the children of Israel out of Egypt. Pharoah refused to let the people go until the 10th plague took place. The firstborn of every household in Egypt which did not have the blood of a lamb applied to the door posts and lintel would die. The homes which did have the blood applied the death angel would pass over.

Therefore the Passover feast was to be kept as a memorial of that day. It was at this feast that the governor would release one prisoner. Barabbas, a notable prisoner, had already been tried by the Roman government. Verse 17: “Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ?” Now Pilate knew that the only reason Jesus had been delivered over to him for judgment was because of envy. Verse 19: “When he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just man: for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him.” She was saying not to condemn Jesus, release Him, do not have anything to do concerning His judgment. Pilate not only knew that Jesus was innocent, he had been warned by his wife not to condemn Him. So I believe he thought that if he would give them the choice between a very wicked man and Jesus that they would release Jesus. Verse 20: “But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.”

They incited this crowd into crucifying Jesus. They were highly educated men; they knew the scriptures; they had the knowledge but they had an evil heart of jealousy and envy. It is interesting that a few people told a multitude of people how to think and they listened! Aren’t you glad that just a few people are not

DR. CHARLES SMITH MT. ORAB BIBLE BAPTIST CHURCH www.bbcmtorab.com telling the multitude how to think today; or are they? But of course, that could not happen in America; could it? There is a story in II Samuel about the son of King David, Absalom, who was slain

by Joab and his men. They needed to send a message back to King David to let him know about Absalom and the battle.

There was one young man who was a very fast runner. He kept begging to be allowed to go and tell the king. But Joab said no, I have given the message to another and he has already left. But he kept begging so Joab said go.

Well it turned out that the last man sent arrived first. When the king asked the young man what the message was he did not know; but he was a fast runner!

And that is just about how people are when they are told what to think. In Isaiah 55:8 God said: “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways...” You will not listen to God but you will listen to so called important people and let them do your thinking for you.

We ought to think after God! These people in Matthew 27 let the leaders of that day tell them how to think and they made the mistake of generations by simply not thinking for themselves. They were told to choose Barabbas and when asked they yelled out Barabbas! It does not take a lot of thought just to yell. When Pilate said: “...What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ?

They all all say unto him, Let him be crucified.” They did not care that he was innocent. They were just letting others do the thinking for them. That is not a good way to make decisions! Do you really want to know why the guilty go free? Think about it! And while you are thinking you ought to make a decision for yourself today! Do you want Barabbas or Jesus?

About 25 Brown County children will have the opportunity to discover the joys of reading thanks to a Tractor Drive event that took place Sept. 11 in the Georgetown area.

The Brown County Institute For the Enhancement of Education sponsored that Tractor Drive. Participants drove or rode 15 miles either once or twice that day beginning and ending at the Ohio Valley Antique Machinery Show Grounds, which are west of and near Georgetown.

The Institute's first major project has been Dolly Parton's Imagination Library.

At least 306 Brown County children currently are served by that program through which they each receive a

The annual election of directors of the Brown County Agricultural Society for the following townships: Byrd, Green, Perry, Pleasant, Union, and Huntington will be held Friday, October 1, 2010 in the office of the Brown County Agricultural Society from 4 PM - 8 PM. Members of the society shall declare their candidacy for the office of a director of the Board of Directors by filing with the secretary of this Society a petition signed by ten or more members at least ten days before the annual election of directors is held. Only regularly nominated candidates who have met the filing requirements will be eligible for election of Directors. Petitions may be obtained from the Secretary of the Society.

Membership tickets for the 2010 membership of the Brown County Agricultural Society may be purchased from now until September 21, 2010 from any fair board Director or at the fair board office. The hours of the fair board office are Monday through Saturday 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM.

“carefully selected” hardcover book in the mail each month until his or her 5th birthday.

The cost to participate is $30 per child per year and is meant to give participating children a boost in their education by instilling a love for reading in them at an early age.

The Tractor Drive's purpose was to raise money to help sponsor some children's Imagination Library participation for one year. A participant with each tractor that went on that day's journey paid $30 for the trip, enough to sponsor one child.

“It went wonderfully well,” Institute President Carl Beck said of the fund-raiser, adding there no glitches. “We were very pleased.”

There were some specific rules in order for a tractor to go on the journey: it had to have rubber tires, be able to travel at least 8 miles per hour and had to be at least 30 years old so it could be classified as a Classic Tractor.

The first trip began shortly after 10:30 a.m., and its participants took a 15-mile trip from the OVAM Show Grounds to Feesburg and back. The second trip began about 2:30 p.m., and its participants took a trip from the OVAM Show Grounds past the United Dairy Farmers store on Old U.S. 68 in downtown Georgetown to Free Soil Road and Graybill Road and then back to Georgetown and the OVAM Show Grounds.

The morning's journey followed an Opening Ceremony conducted by Walter Miller Post 394 of the American Legion in Russellville.

That Ceremony included the raising of the American Flag; a prayer; the Pledge of Allegiance to the American Flag; an inspirational talk from Post 394 Chaplain Guy McRoberts, who spoke about the significance of that day being the Ninth Anniversary of fatal terrorist airplane attacks in New York and the Washington, D.C., area; McRoberts' singing of “God Bless America”; and firing of rifles by two Post 394 members and the playing of “Taps”

Beck thanked many people for their help with the Tractor Drive including Georgetown Police Chief Forrest “Buddy” Coburn and that village's police officers and Ohio State Highway Patrol troopers for helping direct traffic.

“We want to express our deep appreciation to the Ohio Valley Antique Machinery Show Association,” Beck added for allowing the Institute to use its Lewis Township grounds for the fund-raiser.

He mentioned how Association President Jeff Smith and Vice President Glenn Beyer were at the Show Grounds that morning to help guide the Institute along.

Beck also thanked all the participants who came out to support the Institute and the Imagination Library.

Village of Ripley has new office manager

BY Wayne Boblitt The Brown County Press The village of Ripley has both a new office manager position as well as a person to fill that spot.

Ripley Village Council members, following an executive session at their regular meeting Sept. 14, voted 4-0 to create the new position.

Council members attending last Tuesday's meeting were Judy Brooks, Daniel Dragoo, Roberta Sidwell and President Charles Poole. Council mem-

bers Nowana Bingaman and Scott Eagan were absent.

Those same council members then chose Kim Spiller to fill that position at a $17 hourly pay rate. Spiller is Ripley's Mayor's Court clerk and cemetery clerk, is the village's former income tax administrator, and has assisted in the Ripley Utilities Department since this past October.

Also this past Tuesday, council members authorized Village Administrator Charles Ashmore to advertise to fill a vacancy for Utilities Department clerk.

Council members also talked at the meeting about how the Lewis and Clark Award Winning Olde Fashioned Tent Circus was an apparent success during its visit to Ripley on Labor Day, Sept. 6.

That circus' first show on the grounds behind Ripley-UnionLewis-Huntington High School sold out while the second show did well, also, it was mentioned.

The circus made a $410 donation to the village, which Ripley Fiscal Officer Lesley Myers said has been placed in Ripley's General Fund.

Brown County mental health professional receives CIT Coordinator of the Year award The Associate Director of the Brown County Community Board of Alcohol, Drug Addiction and Mental Health Services Board, Colleen Chamberlain, received the 2010 Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) Coordinator of the Year Award. The award was presented by Attorney General Richard Cordray on Wednesday, September 1st at CIT Advanced Training Conference in Columbus, Ohio. CIT is a specialized training program in which law enforcement officers are educated about mental illness and substance abuse and learn skills to deescalate certain individuals in crisis situations.

“This award is our way of publicly expressing our appreciation to Colleen for serving as a role model for CIT Coordinators around Ohio.

Her commitment to helping those in her community with mental illness has a profound impact not only on those individuals, but on their loved ones and the members of the community at large,” said Terry Russell, Interim Executive Director of the National Alliance on Mental Illness of Ohio (NAMI Ohio).

According to Steve Dunkin, Executive Director, who nominated Ms. Chamberlain, “Colleen has served as our CIT Coordinator since its inception in 2002. At that time, there were no models of CIT for rural communities, so Colleen researched programs in other communities, went on ride alongs with local law enforcement and used this information to develop a program that would be viable in Brown County.

Throughout the process, Colleen was careful to maintain fidelity to the core elements of the CIT program.

Today, the Brown County CIT Program serves as a model for other rural CIT programs in Ohio and around the country.”

“Colleen’s approach to CIT is exactly what was envisioned by the founders of Crisis Intervention Teams in Memphis twenty years ago,” said Mark Munetz, Director of the Ohio Criminal Justice Center of Coordinating Excellence.

The first CIT program began in Memphis, Tennessee in 1988, in response to the shooting death a year earlier of a 27year-old man with mental ill-

ness in an incident with the Memphis Police Department.

This shooting outraged the community and from this community crisis emerged a new way of doing business for both the police and mental health community.

“Today, law enforcement, mental health professionals and advocates are collaborating in communities throughout Ohio to provide training to help police officers identify and respond to calls involving someone experiencing a mental health crisis,” Munetz said.

Citizens Deposit Bank announces branch closings and transfers On September 30, 2010, Citizens Deposit Bank & Trust (CDBT), a wholly owned subsidiary of Premier Financial Bancorp, Inc. (Nasdaq; PFBI), will be closing and transferring three branch offices. Branch offices in Germantown, South Portsmouth and Maysville will be consolidated into other Citizens offices.

Concurrently, plans are moving forward for CDBT to acquire four Integra Bank branch locations on Sept. 10.

These branches are located in Maysville and Mt. Olivet in Kentucky, and Ripley and Aberdeen in Ohio.

Details of CDBT’s plans for consolidation are as follows: • CDBT’s Germantown location will transfer deposits and loans to its Brooksville office, located at 104 Jefferson Street. The bank has also recently begun construction on a new freestanding location in Brooksville, KY. This office will be located at 111 Powell

Street.

• CDBT’s South Portsmouth location will transfer deposits and loans to the Bank’s Garrison Office, located at 9234 East KY 8, in Garrison, KY. • CDBT’s Maysville location will transfer deposits and loans to the Maysville office, currently operated by Integra Bank, located at 1201 US 68, in Maysville.

“As the opportunity presented itself to purchase the Integra branches and expand our service area, we felt it was prudent to look at our entire footprint and consolidate offices where possible,” said Mike Mineer, CDBT’s President and Chief Executive Officer.

“At a time when many banks across the region are shrinking their operations, Citizens continues to grow,” Mineer continued, “We recognize the need to grow sensibly and continue our commitment to providing outstanding customer service on a daily basis.”

Later in the interview, Moore asked Hensley what he did with the money Tincher gave him.

“I spent it on drugs because I couldn’t sleep after I had done it.”, Hensley answered.

Moore then asked “If you could talk to (Carpenter) what would you say?”

Hensley replied “I’d want to know if he was really molesting that girl, to know that I didn’t take somebody's life for no reason at all.”

He added “I’m really not a killer, dude”, and appeared to become upset.

Moore then ended the interview.

Hensley and Tincher both face the death penalty for the murder of Carpenter. Hensley had pleaded not guilty to the charge of Aggravated Murder.

A motion to supress his confession is pending before Common Pleas Judge Scott Gusweiler, with a ruling expected in the coming weeks.

helped him with automobile and college expenses. In a Sept. 14 telephone interview, Faulkner commented, “You couldn't treat anyone more like your son than that.”

He said he always will remember Mr. Whitehead “as a father”.

Faulkner reported while visitation for Mr. Whitehead started at about 2 p.m. Sept.

12, people had begun lining up about 1:15 p.m., and the average waiting time for many people to get to the front of the church to greet Mr. Whitehead's family was about two and one-half hours.

He also estimated about 1,000 people came to the visitation while 200 to 300 attended the funeral.

Mr. Whitehead was known in many other states for his work with walking horses, and Faulkner said some of Mr. Whitehead's friends from Florida and North Carolina flew up for the visitation.

“We would just like to thank his community, his church family, and his friends for their sympathy, flowers, and prayers,” Faulkner said on behalf of Mr. Whitehead's family.

Mr. Whitehead's daughter, Candy Whitehead-Green of Shelbyville, Tenn., also spoke at her dad's funeral and said the strength she received from her faith in Jesus Christ was the only thing that enabled her to stand up there that day.

“Perhaps if a man's wealth was judged by the number of friends he has, you would definitely be able to say Whitey is a billionaire,” Whitehead-Green began the tribute to her father.

She talked about his work with horses and how “he has loved horses for as long as he can remember”.

Whitehead-Green mentioned how Mr. Whitehead had trained many World Champion horses beginning in the 1980s and continuing through this year and won a World Championship in 2004 on his prized horse Gossip.

She added, “The highlight and proudest moment of his training career came in 2005 when he trained Gossip to the roses with his daughter Candy riding.”

She talked about how her father and mother had been married 52 years and how they welcomed her into their lives as a baby daughter 15 years after they had gotten married.

Whitehead-Green mentioned how her father and her husband, Charlie Green, became the best of friends and were more like father and son than father-in-law and son-in-law. They both trained

horses and shared a love of horses.

She concluded “You may know him by his infectious belly laugh, the pranks he loves pulling or stories he loves telling just to make you laugh, Mickey Mouse suspenders, or riding a horse without his hands on the reins and saying 'I am the world's greatest horse trainer'.

“We all have a precious memory. That is why today we are celebrating the life of Whitey, not mourning. Our loss, but Heaven's gain.”

A full obituary for Mr. Whitehead is on page 9 in today's edition of The Brown County Press. Turner and Son Funeral Home in Hillsboro served Mr. Whitehead's family.

Farrell was treated at BCGH and released for nonlife threatening injuries from the stabbing and head injuries he received from the beating he endured.

Chief Coburn reported both victims identified a suspect as being the person who had stabbed them.

The chief said once a suspect was established, Georgetown officers responded to a residence on West Grant Avenue in Georgetown.

The suspect, Eric J. Jones, 32, of Batavia, was located by Chief Coburn and taken into custody without incident.

Jones reportedly gave the chief a brief statement. Chief Coburn and Inlow questioned Jones in the early morning hours of Sept. 12, according to the press release, which also reported Jones gave several conflicting statements but would not admit to the assault.

The officers continued to gather information and obtain statements from several witnesses.

Jones was lodged in the Brown County Adult Detention Center in Georgetown. The press release reported Inlow and Gifford spoke with Jones at the jail, and the suspect reportedly admitted his involvement in the assaults at that time.

Jones was still lodged in the Adult Detention Center this past Wednesday, Sept. 15, according to a report given in a telephone interview.

He was charged with two counts of felonious assault and was under a $10,000 cash, surety, or property bond issued

by Brown County Municipal Court in Georgetown. Jones also was under a $100,000 cash or surety bond issued on a detainer from Brown County Common Pleas Court in Georgetown regarding a probation violation Jones reportedly had committed.

Chief Coburn said he would like to thank Meyer and Stone

for their assistance and all the witnesses who came forward with information. The chief said Georgetown police officers worked on the case nonstop until it was solved and added the information they received from witnesses was invaluable.

Chief Coburn also reported additional charges were pending on at least three more individuals for their reported involvement regarding the assaults.

Regarding another stabbing incident, Brown County Sheriff Dwayne Wenninger reported James Schellenberger, 46, of the Mt. Orab area, walked into the Brown County Sheriff's Office about 8:30 p.m. this past Monday, Sept. 13, and reported he had been stabbed.

A press release issued by Wenninger stated Schellenberger reported he and his girlfriend, Amanda Strunk, 30, no address given, were arguing, and she allegedly stabbed him while they were traveling on Yankeetown Road near Lucas Road in Clark Township (near Hamersville).

Georgetown Life Squad transported Schellenberger from BCSO to BCGH, and he then was flown by helicopter to University Hospital in Cincinnati where he was treated for his injuries and released.

A felonious assault charge regarding the incident will be presented to a Brown County grand jury, Wenninger stated.

staunch, coming up with another turnover on downs with 36 ticks remaining in the half.

Western picked up a first down on a pass from Nick Woodyard to Jake Lawson, but time expired, leaving the Broncos trailing 7-0 at the break.

“It finally set in during the half that we were going to run the ball,” said Dreyer. “We were able to get Nick and Gunner (Woodyard) up the middle and we wore them down in the second half.”

The Broncos opened the second half with a drive that ended just short of a second first down at the Tigers’ 45 yard line.

Waverly went three-and-out on its next possession, forcing a punt from Zach Corcoran.

The Tigers’ punter hit a beauty, pinning the Broncos on their own five.

The Woodyard brothers ground out yardage during a drive that lasted over four minutes and covered 70 yards.

The possession ended, however, with a Nick Woodyard fumble, recovered by the Tigers on their own 29 yard line.

The Bronco defense forced another three-and-out. This time, Corcoran shanked a punt, giving Western a short field with two minutes left in the third.

The Bronco offense kicked it into gear. Nick Woodyard hit Lawson with a 19-yard pass, setting up first-and-goal just inside the 10. Two plays later, Gunner Woodyard ran up the middle, virtually untouched, for a seven-yard touchdown. Rhodes made good on the PAT, tying the score at 7-7 with 53 seconds left in the third.

After Waverly failed to move the ball, Western got it back with 11:42 remaining in the game.

Again the Bronco offense moved the ball, going 57 yards in 10 plays. Nick Woodyard scored from inches away on a keeper. Rhodes added the extra point and with 8:47 left, Western held a 14-7 lead.

the Tigers gave the Broncos the ball back with 6:47 to go in the fourth.

On the third play from scrimmage, Nick Woodyard found Rhodes with a pass over the middle, netting 49 yards on the exchange. With 4:06 left in the game, Nick Woodyard found Rhodes again, this time for a 21-yard touchdown. Rhodes split the uprights on the PAT, putting Western in front, 21-7.

After the Broncos forced a four-and-out, Western was content to let quarterback Devin Wood kneel on the ball, securing the 21-7 win.

“The passes over the middle gave Nick some confidence,” said Dreyer. “He wants to lead in Matty’s absence. He got

everybody believing we could win.”

Nick Woodyard completed 10 throws for 162 yards. He also rushed for 83 yards on 25 carries.

Gunner Woodyard added 76 yards on the ground on 15 attempts.

Rhodes led the receivers with 91 yards on five catches.

The Broncos’ defense held Waverly to a total of just 126 yards of offense on the night.

“We played very hard in the second half,” added Dreyer.

“We need to carry that over to the SBC opener on Friday. It should be very exciting.”

The Broncos were set to host New Richmond in the Southern Buckeye Conference opener on Friday.

stepped up.”

Other than the first drive of the game, Dreyer’s defense was almost flawless.

On the opening drive, Waverly started on its own 30 yard line and marched 70 yards in four minutes for a score. The drive was capped with a 66-yard touchdown pass from Devin Kelly to Rod Holdren. Drew Saunders made the PAT and with 8:13 left in the first, the Tigers held a 7-0 advantage.

Western’s first possession also started at its own 30. The Broncos proceeded to gain some yardage, the biggest blow was a 26-yard pass from Nick Woodyard to Jake Banfil. but after a holding call forced a third-down-and-22, Nick Woodyard was intercepted at the goal line Western quickly returned the favor as Brooks picked off Kelly on the Tigers’ second play from scrimmage.

The Broncos could not take advantage of the break, however, as Nick Woodyard was intercepted by Amin Gilbert on Western’s second play of the drive.

Gilbert returned the ball to Western’s 44 yard line, giving the Tigers a short field just prior to the end of the first frame.

Waverly methodically moved the ball deeper into Bronco territory, gaining enough yards to set up a firstand-goal from the eight.

The Broncos dug in their heels and came up with a goal line stand, taking over on downs at their own one with 9:21 left in the half.

Western got enough breathing room in three plays for Brad Rhodes to boot a punt out to the Broncos’ 40.

Again, the defense held the short field, forcing another turnover on downs.

Nick Woodyard was sacked twice during the Broncos’ next possession, forcing another Rhodes punt.

Waverly started in Western territory again, this time at the 43 yard line. A pass interference call against the Broncos kept the Waverly drive alive, but the Bronco defense stood

The Fayetteville Rockets had a tough time in a visit to Williamsburg on Sept. 10.

The Wildcats topped the Rockets 54-7 in a non-league game.

Williamsburg was ahead 28-0 at the end of the first quarter, 41-0 at halftime and 54-0 at the end of the third quarter.

F a y e t t e v i l l e ’s Ta n n e r Williams scored on a 40 yard run in the fourth quarter. Mike Kranz kicked the extra point.

Rockets Head Coach Ben Brisker said the Wildcats controlled the line of scrimmage throughout the game.

“They were the best we’ve played all year”, Brisker said.

They were very physical up front.”

Williamsburg ended up with 572 yards of total offense.

Jason Zavislak, senior running back, rushed for four of the Blue and White’s touchdowns from nine, 16, 48, and five yards. Kevin Keaton, senior quarterback, passed for two TDs, one to Cody Wiedemann for 18 yards and the other to Kyle Jeffers for 71

yards. Keaton sprinted for 20 yards for a six-pointer of his own. Joey Clowerey closed out the ‘Burg scoring on a 23yard sprint. Dane Weeks and Billy Hickey kicked two extra points apiece and Lane Edmisten hauled in a Keaton pass for a two point conversion.

Brisker said his team had some good practices following the Williamsburg loss and that they are ready to take the field again this Friday.

“We match up well against Gallitin County (KY)”, Brisker said.

He added that the Rockets were concentrating on the basics of line play this week.

“We challenged the team to go out there and get their first Varsity victory”, Brisker said.

The game will be played at Goshen High School on Sept.

By Ritchie Butler The Brown County Press The Western Lady Broncos kept their undefeated Southern Buckeye Conference volleyball record intact, coming from a 2-1 deficit on Tuesday

to defeat the Amelia Lady Barons by a match score of 32.

“Amelia is a good team who plays good defense,” said coach Heather Western Cooper. “They really mixed it up against us offensively.

The Brown County Press/RITCHIE BUTLER

Western’s Alli Morgan smashes a winner versus Amelia.

Morgan had 12 kills in the Lady Broncos’ win.

Their hitters threw off our timing.”

The Lady Broncos dominated game one of the match, passing and spiking their way to a 25-15 win. Danika Ratcliff and Taylor Patten led the way from behind the service line with streaks of four straight points each.

Western’s hitters also played well in the first game as Mariah Carroll, Kylie Garrett and Ratcliff all had multiple kills.

“One of our strengths is that we don’t have one player that we need to rely on,” said Cooper. “We ‘spread the wealth’ offensively.”

Game two was a different story for the Lady Broncos.

Amelia did a good job of digging and setting up its hitters in game two, leading to a 2521 win by the Lady Barons.

In game three, Amelia benefitted from a few Lady Broncos errors, maintaining a three to five-point lead throughout the game. Western drew to within two, at 20-18, but that was as close as it got as Amelia pulled away for the 25-20 win. the Lady Barons also took a 2-1 match lead after three games.

“We got in panic-mode a few times,” added Cooper.

“We’ve got to remember to relax. Fundamentally, we are a good team. We just lose focus at times.”

The Lady Broncos regained their focus in game four, but it was not an easy road.

After Ali Hiler served Western to a 5-1 edge, Amelia reeled off four straight, tying the game at 5-5. Western’s

blocking and hitting came alive, pushing the Lady Broncos to a 16-10 advantage.

Again, the Lady Barons came back, knotting the score at 20-20. But the Lady Broncos finished strong, outscoring Amelia 5-2 in the final seven points behind the net play of Ratcliff and Carroll.

After the Lady Broncos claimed the 25-22 game four win, the match was tied at 2-2, setting the stage for the deciding fifth game.

Five early ties and two lead

changes had the Western faithful on the edge of their seats.

Elizabeth Carter fired an ace, giving the Lady Broncos a 7-5 lead and the momentum.

Ashleigh Huiet added two consecutive service points and Carroll pounded three balls to the floor as the Lady Broncos captured the fifth by a score of 15-10.

“We are always working on eliminating our mistakes,” said Cooper. “In practice, we are constantly focusing on our game. It paid off in games four and five.”

Carroll led Western with 15 kills. Alli Morgan added 12.

Garrett and Ratcliff chipped in eight kills each.

“Morgan came alive and had a nice night at the net,” said Cooper. “We had a lot of positive passes, which is a big part of our game.”

Hiler finished with 27 assists. Huiet had 14 digs from her libero position. Ratcliff added two aces and two blocks for points on the night.

The win lifted Western to 72 overall, 5-0 in the SBC.

Ripley Lady Jays come from behind, down Lady Warriors

By Ritchie Butler The Brown County Press The Ripley Lady Blue Jays picked up their first win of the season, coming from two games down to defeat the Eastern Lady Warriors in a Southern Hills League volleyball match.

“Our girls do not give up,” said Ripley coach susie Skinner. “Our attitude was great tonight. When everything’s clicking, we can be tough to beat.”

Things weren’t clicking for the Lady Jays in the first two games as Eastern claimed game one, 25-21 and game two, 25-18.

“Christina (McKenzie) did a nice job serving tonight,” said Eastern coach Carmela Reeves. “The girls played together and played to their full potential.”

In game one, McKenzie The Brown County Press/RITCHIE BUTLER

served for five consecutive points, bringing the Lady Warriors from two points behind to three points ahead, at 10-7. Ripley cut the Eastern lead to one, at 15-14, but the Lady Warriors played well over the final 17 points, outscoring the Lady Jays 10-7, taking the victory and a 1-0 match advantage.

Game two went back-andforth through the first half of the contest. Eastern combined good serving with strong play at the net, outpointing the host Ripley by a count of 15-8, taking a commanding two-game advantage.

Late in game three, Eastern’s Lauren Ballou went down with an injury, but the Lady Warriors pressed on, taking a 25-24 lead following two McKenzie aces. The Lady Blue Jays turned the tables from there, slamming their way to three straight points, claiming a 27-25 win.

Ripley momentum carried

over to game four. With the Lady Jays in front 10-7, Becca Stamper reeled off eight consecutive points from the service line, pushing the Ripley lead to 18-7.

Eastern never recovered, falling to the Lady Blue Jays by a score of 25-13.

Kody Gilkerson had the hot hand from behind the line in game five, serving the Lady Jays to a 6-0 lead.

Eastern regained its composure behind strong serves from Heather Bayer, tying the game at 9-9.

After three more ties, the last one at 12-12, Ripley scored three straight at the end, completing the comeback with a 15-12 win. The game five victory gave the Lady Jays their first match win of the young season.

“We’ve been in some tough games,” said Skinner. “And this coming week will be just as tough.”

The win lifted Ripley to 1-3 overall, 1-3 in the SHL. Eastern fell to 4-3 overall, 1-2 in league play.

Eastern Lady Warriors avenge 2009 soccer loss to Hillsboro

The Eastern Lady Warriors remained unbeaten on the season and avenged a 2009 onegoal loss to the Hillsboro Lady

Indians on Monday by defeating their guests, 4-2.

“We tend to step up when we’re playing a team that we know has talent,” said Eastern coach Sarah Koehler.

And step up the Lady

The Brown County Press/RITCHIE BUTLER

Eastern’s Megan Scott scored off a rebound during the Lady Warriors’ win over Hillsboro.

Warriors did. Eastern scored twice in the first 10 minutes of play. Megan Scott knocked in a shot off a rebound in the opening five minutes. Allison Prine took a pass from Amber Yockey with almost 10 minutes gone in the game, giving the Lady Warriors a 2-0 advantage.

Hillsboro trimmed the Eastern edge to 2-1 halfway through the first frame when Lauren Colliver (who is bound for Miami to play soccer next year) booted in a shot from 25-yards out.

At the half, Eastern clung to the 2-1 lead.

“Our biggest asset is that we don’t rely on just one person to do our work,” said Koehler. “All-around, our defense played well, got on their marks and got the ball upfield.”

Defense was the story in the second half as the Lady Warriors did not allow Hillsboro to penetrate too far past midfield for the first 35 minutes of the half.

Meanwhile, Prine scored another goal on a breakaway down the left side, putting the Lady Warriors on top, 3-1, with 16:31 showing on the clock.

Prine added an insurance goal and picked up the “hat trick” when she headed in a shot off a nice corner kick from Yockey, giving Eastern a 4-1 lead with just over eight minutes left.

Colliver cut the lead in half when she hit a left-footed shot

from 30-yards out with 4:48 remaining.

Goal keeper Kaylee Purdy made some good saves in the final 10 minutes of play, preserving the 4-2 win for Eastern.

“Kaylee made some good saves tonight,” added Koehler.

“Freshman Kaylie Ruckel stepped in and played well.

Vipers repeat as Dog Days Exciting night of racing at MRP Tournament champions The Beechmont Soccer Club Vipers have added yet another championship trophy to their ever-growing collection. This time, it came in the fashion of the 2010 CSA Dog Days of Summer Soccer Invitational, which took place in Milford, Ohio at the Miami Meadows Park/Finley Ray Park soccer facilities on Aug. 19-21.

After three days of play, the Vipers defended their 2009 Dog Days Championship by capturing the 2010 Girls U12 Division Silver Championship.

The BSC Vipers opened this year’s Dog Days tournament play with a Friday evening match against a familiar foe, BSA Celtic 98 (Beavercreek, Ohio). This game was a matchup between the same two 2009 Dog Days championship game teams.

The Vipers opened up the scoring early, and played terrific soccer on both sides of the ball throughout the game.

Preliminary game 1 final score was 5-2 in favor of the Vipers.

On Saturday, the Vipers faced Ohio Elite North. Once again, the Vipers scored early and built a 3-1 lead. The Vipers continued to play well, but were unable hold off OE North and unfortunately allowed the opponent to come back to tie the match. A 3-3 draw is how preliminary match 2 ended.

On Sunday, the Vipers were able to secure a spot in the finals with a win, or a tie, against one of the tournament host club teams, Cincinnati Soccer Alliance GU12 Premier. Again scoring early, the Vipers proceeded to take the CSA Premier team to the woodshed, scoring seven

goals from six different Vipers. Preliminary game 3 final was 7-0, Vipers.

In the championship match, the BSC Vipers squared off against FC BellBrook Blaze (Bellbrook, Ohio), who had gone undefeated and untied through their preliminary rounds. As in the previous two days of play, the Vipers jumped out to an early lead with aggressive goals. The defense continued to play incredible and the BSC Vipers routed the Blaze by a score of 4-0.

Preparing to play in only their fourth season of select soccer, the BSC Vipers have earned the right to be playing near the top of their age bracket in the Cincinnati United Soccer League. For the 2010 fall season, the Vipers will compete in CUSL Division 2.

Indiana’s Devin Gilpin won the Mt. Orab Ford Modified division last Friday at Moler Raceway Park. The win was his tenth of the season at MRP. Gilpin is the nation’s points leader in his division.

By Mike Goins Moler Raceway Park It was another exciting night of racing at Moler Raceway Park as the Holman Motors Chevette division had a special event, paying $1,000 to the winner.

In preliminary action, it was the top four point cars going head-to-head for a five-lap shootout with Williamsburg, Ohio’s Jeff Watson taking the win and earning the pole position in the feature event. In heat-race action it was Tennessee’s Ronnie Choate, Jr., taking the first heat with Ripley, Ohio’s Trevor Moffett taking the win in heat number two.

In the 40-lap main event it was Watson and Miles Tarvin on the front row, but at the drop of the green flag, it was Sean Jones jumping to the top spot from his third starting position. While Jones was out front, it was Choate running second with Tarvin and Watson in tow. By lap 17, Tarvin was up to second and pressuring Jones for the top position. On lap 21, there was contact between Tarvin and Jones, bringing out a caution with Tarvin being sent to the tail for the restart. On the restart, Jones was all by himself out front with Watson now up to second spot. At the end of 40 laps it was Jones taking the $1,000 and the crystal trophy courtesy of Greg Holman and the entire Holman Motor staff. Watson held on for the second spot followed by Choate, Rusty Yarger and Scott Ramp.

In the Mt. Orab Ford Modified Division, there were 25 cars on hand. In heat-race action it was Peebles, Ohio resident Dave Jamison winning heat-race number one with Indiana’s Devin Gilpin, and Hamersville, Ohio resident Randy Wash taking heat victories as well. In the Bmain event it was Cory Skipton taking the checkered flag and setting the field for

the feature event.

In the main event it took three restarts to get the field strung out without a complete restart. While Gilpin had gotten the jump on the first two, it was Jamison out front on start number three and Dave McWilliams up to second.

Gilpin would have none of it, as he quickly made his way to the top spot by lap 3. With Skipton spinning on lap 8, it forced a caution and on the restart it was McWilliams taking the top spot with Gilpin back to second. McWilliams led the next two laps before Gilpin was able to drive past on the outside and retake the lead before setting sail for his tenth feature win on the season at MRP in his Mike Shell Racing Engines, Dasco Race Supply, Impressive Race Car. McWilliams came home second with Wash, Jamison and Rick Curtin rounding out the top five spots.

With a few weeks left for points Gilpin is not only Moler Raceway Park’s current point winner, but point leader in the nation.

In the Sunesis Construction Late Model division, there was a 19-car field on hand and it was Maysville, Kentucky’s Dillon Huron and Jeremie Bretz each taking heat-race wins.

In the feature event, it was John Whitney taking the lead on lap one from his third starting spot, but it was evident that Jason Jameson was going to be the man to beat. Jameson took the lead on lap 5 and was running away from the field when on lap 9 contact was made with the lapped car of Tim Carpenter that sent Jamison spinning around. On the restart, with Jameson on the tail, it was Whitney back out front but Barry Doss quickly took the lead away. As laps wore down, a caution on lap 17 reset the field for an old fashioned 8-lap shootout. The final five laps sent Doss, Whitney, Tyler Carpenter, and Jameson battling side-by-side

for the top spot. On the final lap, it was Jameson getting past Doss, retaking the lead and the 25-lap feature event.

Doss came home second with Carpenter (started 18th), Whitney and Mike Meyers rounding out the top five.

In the final division of the night, it was a 19-car field on hand in the US Race Gear Street Stock division. In heat race action it was Mark Kaetzel and Jamie Adams taking the wins.

In the feature event it was all Adams as the Helterbran Trucking, Thomas Gas, RA Smith Photos car was hooked up with the Laurelville, Ohio driver taking home his fifth feature win on the season.

Kaetzel came home second, followed by Bub Balsley, Jeremie Bretz and Bruce Gray, Jr. With the season coming to an end, you only have a few more chances to make it out to MRP. On Sept. 24, L&M Performance Season Championship Late Models will be the feature, paying $1,500 to win.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Georgetown assistant police chief when the terrorist attacks occurred nine years ago.

Lewis said things have changed for law enforcement officers after that. People who saw small packages or briefcases left somewhere have called police in case someone has left an explosive device to detonate, and residences of a neighborhood have called police when they have seen strangers at their neighbors' houses.

He mentioned regarding the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, “As police officers, they put us on high alert.”

Adjutant Steve Bernhardt with George A. Lambert Post 755 of the American Legion said he has a nephew who was in New Jersey outside of New York City watching when the World Trade Center's Twin Towers were burning after the terrorists had crashed airplanes in to them nine years ago.

He said Americans united, stood shoulder to shoulder, said prayers, and said to themselves, “We are Americans.

You stomped our toes, and we're not going to take it.”

Several children participate in a squirt gun fight, one of many activities held Sept. 11 at Sardinia Veterans and Community Park as part of the “First Annual 9/11 Parade and Celebration” in Sardinia.

Bernhardt mentioned that not only did thousands of people lose their lives in the terrorist attacks that Tuesday in September 2001 but about 440 young men and women lost their lives afterward fighting

in Iraq with many others dying as well in Afghanistan.

He said the sacrifices military men and women have made gave those gathered that day the right to participate in their upcoming parade in

Sardinia and added since the terrorist tragedies of 2001, “We watch for our neighbors.

We care for our neighbors.”

Following the Opening Ceremony, many of those gathered walked westward along Winchester Street through downtown Sardinia and then southward to Sardinia Veterans and Community Park behind the Sardinia Public Library.

A festival was held there with such events as a squirt gun fight, free pony rides, a

scavenger hunt, a watermelon eating contest, a cornhole contest, and live music. A bonfire that began about 8 that night gave many attending the chance to roast marshmallows and hot dogs.

Cassidy mentioned how many area businesses had donated gift certificates as prizes in some of the contests including Long John Silvers and McDonald's in Georgetown and Butterbee's Neighborhood Grille and LaRosa's in Mt. Orab.

He said Eric Penn and Jon Hudepohl and the 2nd Chance Band did a good job performing live music and thanked Chris Smith for donating equipment for those performers to use.

Cassidy also thanked Sardinia Village Administrator Tim Mock, grounds and utilities employee Bill North, and grounds employee Mike Bullis for having the park in good shape for the festival.

Benefit and auction to help with hospital expenses There will be a benefit auction and spaghetti dinner for Pastor James Bender and his family on Saturday, Oct. 9 at 3 p.m. at the Afton Wesleyan Church, 2940 Old State Route 32, Batavia.

BY Wayne Boblitt The Brown County Press The Rumpke Landfill Open House held Sept. 11 was a success, according to Molly with Rumpke Yeager Consolidated Companies Inc. Yeager said about 150 people attended this year's event compared to about 100 in 2009. She is Corporate Communications coordinator with landfill owner Rumpke Consolidated Companies Inc. based in Colerain Township.

Those attending the Sept.

11 event had the opportunity to ride a bus to the top of the landfill and see that solid waste facility up close including a new cell that opened up earlier this year to hold trash.

Besides landfill tours, visitors were treated to free refreshments and were able to view some educational displays.

Recycling Specialist Sam Perin with Adams Brown Recycling Station in Georgetown displayed some suncatchers manufactured at that facility from discarded glass. Perin said the only other such facility in the United States that manufactures suncatchers in that manner is in Eugene, Ore. He also displayed a substance called frit, the byproduct of the recycled glass suncatcher manufacturing process.

Danielle Thompson, an Education coordinator and Wildlife specialist with Georgetown-based Brown County Soil and Water Conservation District, displayed different methods of composting including one using “red wriggler” worms.

Thompson also exhibited a composting bin that basically allows heat to stay inside and keep compost fresh.

Landfill Manager Jim Hext showed maps to visitors explaining the landfill's current parameters and possible future plans for that facility.

Young visitors were given the opportunity at a certain table to learn how to create small fun “treasures” out of discarded items.

They were shown how to make play guitars with shoeboxes, rubber bands, pencils, and paper towel roll cardboard centers and how to create bird feeders with plastic bottles and pencils.

Children could get their pictures taken with a residential garbage truck, and visitors

Please visit www.sscctheatre.com/audition s for more information, including monologues to be memorized for the auditions.

This new adaptation of “Dracula” restores the suspense and seduction of Bram

Stoker’s classic novel to the stage. As Count Dracula begins to exert his will upon the residents of London, they try to piece together the clues of his appearances—in a valiant attempt to save themselves from a hideous fate. Rich with humor and horror, this play paints a wickedly theatrical picture of Stoker’s famous vampire.

“Dracula,” an adaptation by Steven Dietz from Bram Stoker’s novel, will be directed

by Rainee Angles and performed Nov. 19-21 in the Edward K. Daniels Auditorium.

Brown County Horsemans’ Association directors Mike Kempf of Fayetteville and Bob Becker of Mt. Orab present a check to Fairboard president Orville Whelan. The check was to purchase a new water wagon to control dust in the arenas at the fairgrounds.

Horsemans’ Assn. give back The Brown County Horsemans’ Association donated the proceeds of this year’s horse show series to the Brown County Fairboard to help defray the costs of the new water wagon. This equipment is used to keep the dust down while arenas are being used.

“The senior fairboard has been very helpful to us in the past and we appreciate it,” said Mike Kempf, Horsemans’ director as he presented the check for $3900. “Our club voted to say thanks.”The water wagon will be used to control dust in the three horse arenas and in the tractor pull stadium.

It will have a sign noting the

donation.

“The Horsemans’ association was started in 1997 with the two goals of promoting the horse industry in Brown County and developing the facilities for the junior fair horse show.” said show manager Theresa Siemer. “Last year we put in a manure pit and built the grandstand. This year we are doing barn maintenance and getting the water wagon. Our horse show series brings people from all over to our county and allows us to do some of the things here on the fairgrounds. We appreciate the support of the fairboard in our efforts and the support of all those who show here.”

With the support of her family; husband Joe, children: Brittany, Stacy, Jodie and T.J.; she is able to continue to work at a facility, where she was born as well as her children and grandchildren, and that she cares about and in a job she very much enjoys. Glenda was nominated by a manager for exemplifying what nursing is all about, taking care of patients and providing a supportive and pleasant environment for their recovery. Mrs. Huff noted the true DAISY award goes to all the nurses that have taken care of the patients at BCGH over the

Some of the people of the Association were there to present the Agriculture Society with a check for $3900.00 to pay for the water tank that we purchased earlier this year. The directors and officers of the fair wish to thank the Association for the check. I want to thank them in advance for helping the Saturday Western Horse Show.

Please get your membership tickets for this year’s fair.

My wife has been getting some great gifts from businesses here in Brown County.

We now have 2 grand prizes, a home computer and a Mac Tool Box. We want to thank all the people and hope you thank them by using their businesses. Remember that membership tickets go off sale on Sept. 22. That is 10 days before election day at the fair. You can get your tickets from any Director or at the office at the fair grounds.

Milford Brown called me with the answer of the horse which died on the fairgrounds in 1925. Truly Blue is buried somewhere at the fair but no one knew where. Milford told me he was born in 1926 and as a child going to the fair his dad told him about Truly Blue. There are many foods that we look forward to eating at the fair, in the early 1950’s a certain ice cream was popular at that time. It was vanilla with chocolate covering on a stick. What was it called? You can get us at (937) 378-3558.

Starting on a sad note, we lost another great friend of the Brown County Fair. I always like to remember someone at a good time and Paul Whitehead gave us a lot of those at the Fair. Years ago his daughter Candy would win a class and Paul or Whitey as we knew him would run out and be her header as they took pictures. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Paul Whitehead’s family and he’ll be missed this year.

I also want to thank the newspapers for printing my articles this year. I have got a lot of comments about hearing what is going on at the Little State Fair.

The Junior Fair is having a Balloon Launch on Sept. 26 at 4 p.m. This is to honor some of our friends that passed away this year. We all will be thinking a lot of our own memories of these people. Al Rhonemus, Bob (Groundhog) Conner, and Betty Neu will be missed at the 159th Brown County Fair.

If you are planning on entering our Talent Contest, please send in your applications in early. One of the things we need you to do is write a small bio of you and your talent. We need something for our announcer to say when he introduces you.

Brian Elliott from Max Radio will be our M.C. and he is trying to get Celebrity Judges for Thursday and Saturday night.

For you fair goers please go to the Danny Gray Activity Center both nights to hear some great local talent entertain you.

One of the events that I attended this year was the 3 Horse Shows that the Brown

with judging starting at 12:30 p.m. This event is being held by the Friends of East Fork, a non-profit organization to help with projects in the park.

MARTHA SIMPSON the effect of the vaccine is lasting about a year.

If you don’t get your shot in the fall, it’s still not too late to get one. Influenza cases peak in February, but they can occur into April. So if, for some reason, you were unable to get a flu shot in the fall, you can get the vaccine in January or beyond.

Usually, the limiting factor is the availability of the vaccine. This year, the Centers for Disease Control predicts an adequate supply of vaccine, which can be given by injection or in a nasal spray for certain groups of people.

You can still get the flu even if you’ve had a vaccination, but it’s usually a milder case. The symptoms of influenza are sudden onset of a high fever, headache, fatigue, cough, sore throat, runny nose and body aches. If you have these symptoms, see your doctor, especially if you’re at high risk for flu complications. Even in this era of medical research and expanding knowledge, hundreds of thousands of people annually are hospitalized because of flu complications, many of them children. Sadly, there are still around 36,000 deaths each year from influenza.

There is antiviral medication available to treat the flu, but it needs to be started early.

Cordray announces new efforts to track sex offenders Ohio Attorney General Richard Cordray announced today that his office has received a federal grant that will help county sheriffs keep better track of registered sex offenders.

The $155,546 grant will pay for two new programs.

The first will allow the Attorney General's Office to develop a phone and e-mail alert system that will send automated messages to offenders and sheriffs' offices around Ohio, five days before offenders are supposed to reregister as part of their reporting requirements. The system also will track phone numbers or e-mail addresses that no longer are in operation, alerting sheriffs' offices if the contact information provided by offenders is incorrect.

"This automated system will ensure that offenders know when they must register and will help county sheriffs' offices make sure that those offenders comply with those requirements," Cordray said.

"Monitoring registered sex offenders is a difficult task for sheriffs' offices, especially those that have had to make staffing cutbacks," said Coshocton County Sheriff Timothy Rogers, president of the Buckeye State Sheriffs Association. "This new call-

back system will help our sheriffs better keep track of offenders, especially those who do not comply with their registration requirements, and we thank Attorney General Cordray for his support."

The second part of the grant will help county sheriffs' offices fund extradition of offenders who moved to other states without notifying local authorities as required by law.

The grant will fund extradition of up to 50 of the most serious sex offenders, which will allow them to be prosecuted in state courts.

"Too often noncompliant offenders avoid prosecution simply because smaller counties cannot afford the overtime and travel expenses needed to pick them up. This grant will help address this problem." Cordray said.

The grant money was awarded by the federal Office of Sex Offender Sentencing, Monitoring, Apprehending, Registering and Tracking and the Adam Walsh Act Implementation Grant Program, which is part of the U.S. Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs.

In 2009, Ohio became the first state in the nation to reach substantial implementation of the federal Adam Walsh Act.

Question: I know fall is the time of year to get a flu shot, but do I need to get a regular and a swine flu shot this year?

Also, should I get it in October or September?

Finally, does everyone need a flu shot?

Answer: This year you only need the “regular” flu shot. H1N1, once referred to as “swine flu,” is gone.

Generally speaking, anyone over six months of age should have a flu shot, especially people in high risk groups for complications from the flu. These groups include people over 65, those with chronic medical conditions, pregnant women (yes, they’re safe), and young children. Children who have never had a flu shot need two doses of vaccine, at least four weeks apart.

All health care workers, including students in health care professions, should get flu shots to avoid spreading infection. For the same reason, caregivers, day-care workers, and anyone else in regular, close contact with people in the high risk groups should be vaccinated.

If you are in doubt about whether or not you need a flu shot, check with your primary care physician or your local health department.

The best time to get your shot is when the vaccine first becomes available in the fall, since the flu season usually begins just a little later. It takes about two weeks once you have the shot for you to develop immunity. And yes, if you’re in a high risk group, you should get one every year. New studies show that

Deer-archery season opens statewide Approximately 300,000 bowhunters, representing more than half of all Ohioans who hunt deer, are expected to participate in the statewide archery deer hunting season that opens September 25, according the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR), Division of Wildlife.

During last year's four-month archery season, bowhunters killed 91,546 deer, an increase of 7 percent from the previous year.

Crossbow hunters took a record 49,065 of that number and longbow hunters took a record 42,481 deer. Overall, archers accounted for nearly 35 percent of 261,260 deer taken during Ohio's combined 2009-10 archery, muzzleloader and gun seasons.

Licking County led the state in both the vertical bow and crossbow harvest.

From all indications, Ohio’s statewide deer herd grew slightly in 2009, and a modest increase is likely in 2010. The Division of Wildlife remains committed to reducing populations where needed. Through a combination of both regulatory and programmatic changes, progress towards reducing locally abundant herds can be expected.

First and foremost among these changes are hunters’ deer permit purchase options. All deer hunters are required to have a valid Ohio hunting license.

Aberdeeon Friends of the Library to hold fall booksale The Aberdeen Friends of the Library are holding their fall booksale on Friday, Sept. 17, from 12 to 5:30 p.m., and on Saturday, Sept. 18, from 10 a.m. to 1:45 p.m. Please come and stock up for your winter reading. If you have books you wish to donate to the sale, please take them to the library any time during regular working hours. Thank you for your participation - all proceeds will benefit the Aberdeen Library. If there are any questions, please contact Friends president Penny Westheider at (937) 7958026.

However, new this year, hunters will not be required to purchase a $24 deer permit in order to obtain the $15 antlerless deer permit, which is valid Sept. 25 through Nov. 28. The $15 antlerless deer permit will be valid through Dec. 5 in Zone C only.

However, the $15 antlerless permit may be purchased only until Nov. 28, 2010.

According to Mike Tonkovich, deer project leader, the change was made for several reasons. First and foremost, the majority of Ohio’s deer hunters purchase only a single deer permit each year, which means that most did not have the option of buying the reduced cost permit.

Giving hunters the option of purchasing either the $24 either-sex permit or $15 antlerless permit should promote additional antlerless harvest. The $15 antlerless permit can be used for antlerless deer only. Further, money saved by not being required to buy a $24 either-sex permit can be used to purchase a second $15 antlerless permit.

HuntOhioFarms.com, an Internet-based program linking farmers experiencing deer crop damage with hunters looking for places to hunt, will expand to all of Deer Zone C this year. More information of this program can be found at huntohiofarms.com Ohio hunters are also encouraged to kill more does again this season using the reduced-priced antlerless deer permit to help the needy in their area. The Division of Wildlife is collaborating with Farmers and Hunters Feeding the Hungry (FHFH) to help pay for the processing of donated venison. Hunters who donate

Rambler Center Craft show scheduled Plans for the Rambler Center Craft Show and Sale (the old Russellville School) have been completed. The event is scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 6, 2010 from 9 a.m. - 4 p.m.

Spaces for this event are very limited but we still have a few left. For more information please call Mary Kelch at (513) 734-2501 or (513) 543-3137.

their deer to a food bank are not required to pay the processing cost as long as funding for the effort lasts. More information about this program can be found online at www.fhfh.org.

Through the efforts of FHFH and Ohio sportsmen, more than 2,000 antlerless deer were donated to food pantries across Ohio in 2009, more than twice the number in 2008.

After Nov. 28, archery hunters must use a deer permit for antlerless deer. Using the $15 antlerless deer permit, hunters can take one additional antlerless deer in Zone A, up to two additional in Zone B, and up to three additional in Zone C. The antlerless deer permits will also be valid for Division of Wildlife controlled deer hunts and for hunting deer in urban units.

This year's statewide archery season remains open from Sept.

25 through Feb. 6, 2011, including the week of deer-gun season Nov. 29 through Dec. 5. Deergun hunters will also be able to enjoy an additional weekend of hunting Dec. 18 and 19. Archers may hunt one half-hour before sunrise to one half-hour after sunset, except during the statewide gun, youth and muzzleloader seasons when they are one half-hour before sunrise to sunset. Archers hunting during the statewide gun, youth or muzzleloader seasons must meet the hunter orange requirements of

those seasons.

To hunt deer in Ohio, hunters must possess a deer permit in addition to a valid hunting license. State law allows hunters to take only one antlered buck per year, regardless the type of deer season, deer permit or weapon used for deer hunting.

A detailed listing of deer hunting rules is contained in the 2010-2011 Ohio Hunting Regulations that is available where licenses are sold, or may be viewed online at wildohio.com.

in higher education as an adjunct instructor for several area colleges. He will be speaking to prospective new adjunct faculty and, along with other Chatfield staff, will be available for questions and conversation. Refreshments will be served.

“Chatfield has recently experienced its highest enrollment in our history, and our projected growth indicates that we need to add faculty to meet those enrollment expectations,” explained Dean Roger Courts.

Courts said that teaching at Chatfield offers a very effective and rewarding classroom environment – one that

includes a rich blend of students of all ages with different cultural and educational backgrounds. The college offers classes in the morning, afternoon, evening, and on Saturdays so that students can schedule their classes around job or family responsibilities.

Courts also said that Chatfield is known for its small class sizes, which allow for more interactive time between instructor and student, and adds that the increase in enrollment will not change the college’s commitment to personal attention.

“Our student/teacher ratio is approximately eight to one,” he said, “and we intend

to keep it that way.”

Anyone interested in attending the recruitment fair can visit the Chatfield College at website http://www.chatfield.edu to get directions and review Chatfield programs and course offerings. The recruitment fair will provide an excellent opportunity to learn about teaching at the higher education level. Participants are encouraged to bring a resume and any questions.

Anyone unable to attend may forward materials by e-mail to roger.courts@chatfield.edu, with a subject line: “Faculty Candidate.”

Southern State Singers researches history of local choirs Rehearsals begin Sept. 20 at college’s Central Campus

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

The Southern State Singers will begin rehearsals for the 2010-11 season 6 p.m.

Monday, Sept. 20, in Room 107 of Southern State Community College’s Central Campus, 100 Hobart Drive, Hillsboro.

Under the direction of John M. Glaze, the Southern State Singers are preparing to begin their 12th season.

“If you love to sing, please come to our first rehearsal and

see if you feel at home in our group,” said Glaze.

Rehearsals typically last two hours and the choral group is comprised of 80-85 percent from a core of dedicated community members, with Southern State students making up the remainder of the membership.

“Southern State Community College has been very supportive of choral music and underwrites the cost of Southern

Local funeral home supports wreaths across America project The Arlington wreath project was started by Morrill Worchester in 1992 with the donation and laying of 5000 Christmas wreaths to Arlington National Cemetery. It was relatively obscure until 2005 when a photo of the stones adorned with wreaths and covered in snow circulated around the internet. The project received national attention. In 2006 over 150 State and National cemeteries held wreath laying ceremonies simultaneously. By 2008 over 300 locations held wreath laying ceremonies in every state, Puerto Rico and 24 overseas cemeteries. Over 100,000 wreaths were placed on veterans graves. Over 60,000 volunteers participated.

WAA reached out to thousands of children with the message of Remember, Honor and Teach.

The importance of honoring each fallen serviceman as an individual is stressed. the wreath laying is now held each year on the second Saturday of December.

Egbert Funeral Home is one of over 850 Veterans and Family Memorial Care preferred providers nationwide that is proud to be an official local sponsorship outlet for Wreaths Across America. From now through Nov. 1 those wishing to show their support by sponsoring a $15 wreath to adorn the grave of a hero may do so at Egbert Funeral Home, Mt. Orab.

State Singers as a for-credit class which can be taken by SSCC students, as well as offering the group to the community at no charge,” said Glaze. “While fall quarter typically is spent working on music for a Christmas concert, winter and spring quarters will find the group learning a wide variety of music ranging from light classical to show tune to spirituals to everything in between.”

With the help of local history buff Max Petzold, the Southern State Singers group has been researching evidence of prior community choral groups in the area.

“Very little has been found so far; however, some interesting finds include a ‘Free Entertainment’ listing at Bell’s Opera House from Feb. 19, 1901,” said Glaze. “On the program were the Hillsboro Orchestra, the Mozart Quartette Club and the Ladies Ionia Quartette. An article stated that the program was under the direction of the A.O.U.W., whatever that was!

“A published program of a two-day event listed entertainment by the ‘Hillsboro Male Quartette’ and the ‘Etude Quartette.’ From the NewsHerald in April 1930, we found an All-County Music Festival being planned, listing an allcounty orchestra as well as an all-county chorus. This may

“In later years, the Highland County Chorus, under the direction of Mary Muntz, presented portions of Handel’s ‘Messiah’ each year. Beginning in the 1970s, there was a chapter of the Society for the Preservation of Barbershop Quartet Singing in America located in Hillsboro; their name was The Highlanders and they remained popular for many years. At about the same time, a chapter of Sweet Adelines—the women’s version of the Society—began in Hillsboro and stayed active for many years.”

George is a Civil War historian. He retired from the Department of Defense after 29 years and has been a Civil War reenactor with the 9th Ohio Light Artillery for 18 years. George will be speaking after lunch, his topic ‘Life of a Civil War Soldier 18611865’.

The luncheon will be held at the Methodist Church at the corner of State and Main Georgetown.

Streets, Registration begins at 9 a.m. with coffee and donuts. A catered lunch will be provided

A very special thank you to Cliff Neal, Connecticut and Ed Weeks, Florida, their extremely generous and ongoing support is greatly appreciated. the $500.00 donations that Neal and Weeks made were used to purchase wall mounted magazine racks.

Racks will make all of the newsletters that the society receive more accessible to researchers. This will clear shelf space for more research materials. Along with the racks, books and other items were purchased to aid visitors to the library in their research.

Anyone interested in joining the Genealogy Society or attending the luncheon, please stop by the booth at the Brown County Fair, where you can sign up for a chance to win a free one year membership. Drawing for the free membership will take place at the fall luncheon.

Creature Feature Proper nutrition for dogs

BY DR. DAN MEAKIN One aspect of canine care and keeping that is the most misunderstood is that of proper nutrition. Years ago, dogs were fed exclusively from the table and many of them seemed to thrive. Those were actually the ones who were lucky enough to receive, by chance, the proper ratio of protein, fat, carbohydrates, fiber, and minerals.

People remember those dogs that lived to a ripe old age and tend to forget the extremely high puppy death rate and that many dogs died young due to nutrition-related problems.

With the coming of modern food processing techniques and research into nutrition, we have available many complete, prepackaged diets in a variety of forms. We no longer need to feed our pets in a haphazard manner from the table!

Many people feel that dogs need some variety to their diet, but the fact is that dogs thrive on monotony in their diets.

Variety in the diet is entirely unnecessary, and is in fact how a number of feeding-related behavior problems arise.

Among these problems are begging (especially from the table,) extreme finickiness, and obesity, which is probably the most common nutritional problem seen in pet dogs and cats.

The source of the problem is simple to discern – the dog is receiving too many calories for its energy needs. A dog of normal weight can often be expected to outlive its obese counterpart by as much as 40 percent.

Feeding good quality dog food will enhance your pet’s health and longevity. There are dozens of types and brands of dog food to choose from, and trying to choose the right one can be overwhelming. Here are some tips to help you choose the best food one for your dog: Choose the food that is formulated for your pet’s life stage (puppy, senior, adult) and type (small breed, giant breed).

From three weeks of age up to 20 weeks, your puppy’s growth rate is astronomical, and his food intake must keep up.

Giant breed puppies pose a special problem. For puppies of large or giant breeds, look for special foods of lower nutrient density. With these dogs, rapid growth can exacerbate degenerative hip problems or joint disease. Although hip dysplasia is a genetic problem, overfeeding at a young age can contribute to it. These breeds are prone to skeletal problems if not fed properly during their growing phase. Senior pet foods usually supply important ingredients such as glucosamine for joint health and

contain fewer calories to compensate for a less active pet and higher-quality proteins for easier digestion.

Read the label. As with human food labels, pet food labels are regulated by the federal government, the Food and Drug Administration and the Department of Agriculture.

The list of ingredients must be in descending order. This means that the most prevalent part of the diet is listed first and then followed by each ingredient in order by weight. How the product is listed on the label is also strictly regulated. In order to call something “Beef for Dogs,” at least 95 percent of the product must be the named meat. If the name has a combination of meats, such as “Chicken and Liver,” the two products together must be 95 percent of the product with the first ingredient listed more prevalent. If the amount of the meat is over 25 percent but less than 95 percent, a qualifier must be added. The word dinner is a commonly added qualifier but platter, entrée, nuggets and formula are also common.

Another rule regarding product name is the use of “with.” In pet food such as “Dog Food with Chicken,” since the word “chicken” follows “with,” that food must have at least three percent of the food as chicken.

This wording can fool some people. “Beef Dog Food” is very different than “Dog Food with Beef.” The first has 95 percent beef. The second only has three percent beef.

To make matters even more confusing is everything on the side of a bag or can, can only be compared on a “Dry matter basis.” What this means that if you take all the water away what is left is the dry matter basis of the food. So canned food (with 50 percent water) can appear a lot different unless comparisons are made on a dry matter basis.

Feed the best quality food you can afford. The saying really applies to pet food, You get what you pay for. Good ingredients cost money, no way around it. The feeding requirements are less for a quality food, so it’s not as expensive as it seems. Most dry dog food is soybean, corn or rice based. As trainer Karen Pilis says in her classes here at All Creatures, “I’m not feeding cattle – this is a dog and dogs don’t need corn!” Non-meat products in dog food tend to pass right through the dog, creating more waste in the form of loose stools than when a quality dog food is fed. Less waste to clean up from the yard is always a good thing for dog owners!

Higher quality dry dog food has meat, chicken or fishmeal listed as the main ingredients.

Some dry dog food eliminates grains all together or is completely organic. Check with your veterinarian for their specific preference for your dog.

Dr. Dan Meakin is the owner of All Creatures Animal Hospital, 1894 Ohio Pike in Amelia. Call (513) 797-PETS.

Focus On Obesity • Obesity exists when body weight exceeds the optimum for the individual pet by 15 % or more...Obesity is the most common nutritional disease in the dog and cat.

• Obesity is more common with advancing age and occurs more often in females than males.

It often occurs more frequently in neutered pets.

• Overfeeding and lack of exercise cause obesity, so controlling caloric intake to match lifestyle can prevent it.

• Being overweight may cause many problems such as heart disorders, arthritis, diabetes, some skin diseases, and a lazy pet.

• Obese dogs and cats have a higher incidence of skeletal and cardiac problems, impaired reproductive efficiency and risks associated with anesthesia and surgery. Most studies support the concept that obesity shortens life.

We can help your pet shed unwanted pounds and become healthier and happier!

Grazing school in session soon Grazing School in October With the 2007 drought in our rearview mirror, we are going to revisit some of the discussion that we had during that trying time for forages. If you remember, some people were feeding hay in late June. Hay is made to feed in the winter, but when the grass stops producing enough for animal nutrition through grazing, you have to supplement with alternative feed.

The grazing school will cover several topics dealing with pasture management, hay storage and feeding, the use of summer warm season annuals, late season planted forages for extended fall and early spring grazing, and more. The grazing school will be held at Eastern Brown HS on two Tuesdays and a Saturday.

The dates are October 19, 26 and 30. The Tuesday classes will begin around 6:00 p.m. and run until 9:30 p.m. The last day will be a Saturday morning at the school and the afternoon will be on a farm looking at some of the practices that we discuss during the program at the school.

We will look at four different forages which include grazing turnips, oats, rye, and sudex. We will have some with different planting dates, different planting methods, and different levels of fertilizer. The plots should give us some things to look at and discuss about options for farmers, and a hands-on look at the successful and unsuccessful things that we did in the plots.

This program will include several OSU Extension, staff from NRCS, staff from Soil and Water, and a University of Kentucky State Forage Specialist. For more information, stop by the OSU Extension Office or call the office at (937) 378-6716.

The flyer is available on our web site (http://brown.osu.edu ) or you can send me an e-mail at dugan.46@osu.edu Fall Alfalfa Management Growing conditions during September and early October are frequently favorable for alfalfa growth. Producers observing this growth may desire to harvest during this period. With the growing season that we have had, lack of moisture was not a problem until the past few weeks. Increased emphasis on alfalfa production, higher hay values and recently developed alfalfa varieties have renewed questions on the possibility of making a harvest after onset of dormancy in late October or during November.

Alfalfa stores energy in the roots and crowns. These energy reserves are used by the plant to survive over winter, to develop cold tolerance, and to initiate spring growth and growth after each cutting.

When alfalfa initiates growth in the spring, plant reserves stored in the roots and crowns are used to start this new growth from crown

DAVID DUGAN buds. Depletion of stored reserves continues until the plants are at least six to eight inches tall. By this time energy products are being synthesized in the leaves more rapidly than is being used for growth and some storage begins. This storage continues and reaches its highest level at about full bloom.

Following the cutting of the first crop, preferably at mid to late bud stage, this process of food reserve depletion and renewal is repeated and continues for each subsequent cutting. Root reserves are not at their highest level at the bud stage of growth. However, plants can usually maintain a satisfactory level of reserves for the growing season.

In terms of persistence, spring, summer and fall cutting management are related. Research has determined that when harvests are made at late bud-early bloom stage of development, the fall cutting schedule is important for stand maintenance. Make the last regular harvest by the calendar and that means for Southern Ohio September 5-15. This means that on those fields with an intensive cutting schedule, no harvest should be taken from early-mid September to mid-October. At least 30 days between the last regular harvest and killing frost are needed to adequately restore root and crown reserves. Research from Iowa indicates alfalfa yields were 0.61 tons per acre lower the following harvest year where a harvest was made during this period the previous fall. This trial included both the older adapted varieties and more recently developed varieties, with the carryover effect similar among all varieties.

Both Pennsylvania and Michigan have reported when the first cutting is delayed until mid-bloom, early to mid-June in Ohio, or when cutting intervals are lengthened to 42-45 days, the detrimental effect of harvesting on any date in the fall is lessened. However, it's still not wise to cut alfalfa stands on a regular basis from mid-September to mid-October and especially not the same field year after year.

Alfalfa growth, which accumulates

by October 15-20 may be harvested when adequate growth is present to merit the harvest procedure.

Observations indicate this quantity varies greatly from year to year. Ohio research has shown the quality of this accumulated material to be high, usually 20 percent or more crude protein. However, the quantity of this harvest varies each year, from approximately one ton per acre

A great day for a birthday On Sept. 25 the Ohio archery season for deer hunting opens. And it just so happens to be my birthday, and is also the season that I enjoy the most. How great it would be to go hunting that opening day and harvest a giant Ohio buck, that would be a great birthday gift, and I know that if my wife and children could give this to me they would knowing how much I enjoy bow hunting.

The Ohio deer herd grew in 2009 and all indications show an increase in 2010 also. To help with this and to help control the population some changes in the deer permits have been done. This season you can purchase a $15.00 antlerless tag without first having a$24.00 deer tag, you will still have to have a valid Ohio hunting license. You will have until November 28 to purchase a $15.00 tag, and it will be valid through December5 in zone C only.

This change has been put in place in hopes that the number of doe’s that are harvested will increase. And will also help hunters save money if they only take one deer a season, but remember that if you want to tag a buck you will need a $24.00 tag.

If you need a place to hunt or looking for a new place to hunt you can get some help

some years to minuscule quantities in other years.

Because of cooler temperatures, shorter days, higher humidity and moisture, it is usually not possible to harvest this late growth as dry hay.

The common method of harvest would be for silage. Seldom will there be sufficient re-growth to significantly lower root plant food reserves.

Raising of the alfalfa roots from the soil is called heaving. This is caused by fluctuating temperatures above and below freezing, thus raising the alfalfa root from the soil and destroying the plant. Several conditions are necessary for frost heaving to occur. These conditions include a highly frost susceptible soil such as a silt loam or clay soil, high soil moisture content, and temperatures just below the soil surface registering 32 degrees F or lower. A lack of mulch or snow cover contributes to this frost formation within the soil.

The winter of 1985-86 resulted in severe heaving in many areas of northern Ohio. A harvest management trial at the Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center at Wooster was severely damaged by heaving. A study of this area indicated management of the alfalfa can influence the heaving problem.

Plots with alfalfa harvested in the late fall on October 20 showed severe damage with 38 percent of plants heaved, compared to only 5 percent of the plants heaved where no crop was harvested on October 20. The most heaving, 53 percent, occurred where the alfalfa was harvested on a vigorous 30 day schedule with five harvests from May 15 through September 15. The primary relationship with percent of heaving appeared to be lack of soil cover resulting from the late harvest or from poor fall regrowth following frequent harvests during the summer.

Alfalfa producers thinking of making a late harvest should consider their need for the extra forage contrasted to the possible risk of losing a portion of the alfalfa stand during the winter from heaving.

Suggestions to minimize the problems of late harvest include: Alfalfa stand should be well established - not a new seeding. Field should be well drained. Soil must have a high level of fertility, which is maintained with annual fertilization.

Fall application of fertilizer, especially potassium, is very important. Cut four inches high for this late cut to provide some insulation against winter hazards and to assist in snow retention. If possible, also mulch with strong manure or other appropriate mulching material following the late harvest. This will provide winter protection and reduce heaving caused by alternate freezing and thawing. Snow cover acts as an insulator of the soil and plants. Thus this practice of late harvest may be more feasible in areas of northeast Ohio which historically receive larger, longer lasting quantities of snow.

JEFF KRESS with this from a new program Ohio’s HuntOhioFarms.com by going to huntohifarms.com on the web. At this site you will be able to supply information about yourself that will let farmers know about you. So they can decide if they would give you permission to hunt and be able to get in touch with you. Check it out you may find a great honey hole and be able to help a farmer out with his deer problem.

One thing you can do this archery season to enjoy it more is to help someone new to hunting get started. I have found that when I help someone for the first time to get started hunting I know that I have helped to keep the sport of hunting alive for years to come. And don’t forget our elderly hunters offer to take them on a hunt, you may just learn something new, if it wasn’t for them we would not know about hunting and how great it is.
