THE BROWN COUNTY
1.8M coming to fix overpass BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press Relief is on the way for one of the biggest traffic headaches in Brown County. The Ohio Department of Transportation has announced that it will spend $1.8 million dollars to make improvements to the US 68/OH 32 interchange in Mt. Orab. Engineers will begin looking at the project in early October as they begin the design process. Mt. Orab Mayor bruce Lunsford is optimistic that construction will begin within the next few months. “(ODOT has) already hired an engineering firm to design the project”, Lunsford
said. “They said this was a fasttrack project and so far they are sticking to that.” Lunsford said he hoped the project would be nearly complete by this time next year. The project is the culmination of an effort that Lunsford and others began in 2008. The Village of Mt. Orab paid for a traffic study in 2009 that rated the intersection a failure for safety and traffic capacity. In a press release, ODOT called attention to those past efforts. “Following the diligence, drive and dedication of a group of community leaders and department representatives, funding for a construc-
tion project at the intersection of U.S. Route 68 and state Route 32 in Mt. Orab has been secured. “The village’s administration has been very proactive to identify the needs of a rapidly expanding area and address future potential transportation concerns at this high-traffic area within the community,” said Ohio Department of Transportation – District 9 Deputy Director Vaughn Wilson. “Mayor Bruce Lunsford and the members of council have worked diligently to make this project happen, and we are pleased to assist them in this endeavor and assure the necessary funds.” CONTINUED ON PAGE 14

Dashcam video shows Carry Hayslip surrounded by officers after he led them on a high speed chase from Georgetown to Mt. Orab.
Man leads officers on dangerous chase BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press A routine traffic stop in Georgetown on Friday afternoon, Sept. 14, turned into a chase up Highway 68 at speeds of up to 100 miles per hour. Georgetown Police Officer Kyle Singleton pulled Carry Hayslip of West Union over for two broken taillights. Hayslip stopped in the parking lot of Wild Willies, but took off when Singleton began to exit his patrol car.
He then pulled out of the parking lot, cut across the grass, and headed north on Highway 68 at around 100 miles per hour. Singleton followed, keeping up a constant stream of information to dispatchers at the Brown County Communications Center, who began alerting other law enforcement agencies. Hayslip could be seen on the dashcam video of Singleton’s car, passing other vehicles on curves and across yellow lines. “I was trying to back off a
little and give him some room so he’d calm down”, Singleton said. “But he just kept on driving at high speed.” As the chase continued, Singleton requested the use of “Stop Sticks”, which are designed to blow out multiple tires on fleeing vehicles. Ohio Highway Patrol Trooper Andrew Dunn threw out the first set of stop sticks at Bethel New Hope Road, but Hayslip managed to avoid them. Dashcam video of the CONTINUED ON PAGE 14O
Aberdeen makes job changes, pays drilling bill BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press The Aberdeen Village Council made some personnel changes at a special meeting held on Sept. 18. Emily Henderson resigned as Village Administrator, effective that day. She has assumed the duties of Mayor’s Court Clerk and is also responsible for administration in the utilities department. Henderson was replaced by council on a temporary basis by Keith O’Dell. Aberdeen Mayor Harry Foxworthy said that O’Dell would be acting as administrator on a part-time basis,
while the village addresses budgetary and funding issues for the position. Current Winchester Police Chief Greg Caudill was also named as the new Chief of the Aberdeen Police Department. Foxworthy said that Caudill would begin his new duties within the next few days. “He’s a hometown boy with a strong resume and we’re happy to have him”, Foxworthy said of Caudill. The personnel announcements came after the first of three executive sessions entered into by the Aberdeen Village Council that evening.
Council also voted to change the time for regular meetings from 7:30 pm on the first Monday of the month to 6:30 pm. The change will be effective at the next council meeting. Council then entered executive session once again. After reconvening, council voted 3-2 without public discussion to pay $60,332.25 to Moody’s of Dayton. Moody’s is the company that drilled two wells for the village in anticipation of the new water plant being built. Council Members Robert Verville, Jerry Applegate

WB receives Energy Star award for all buildings, dealing with bus route changes CMyK
During their September 17 meeting, Western Brown Local School District Board of Education members bid a sincere thank you and good luck to several staff and faculty members who retired last year. Each of the retirees was presented with a wooden school bell/music box which had their name and years of service to the district engraved on them. Retirees recognized included Barb Bente, Lynda Roades, Letisha Piety, Sandra Eversole, Paulette McMullen, Judy Walsh, Jan Crawford, Brenda Weatherspoon, Celia Pride, Dennis Taylor and Michael Vogel. “This is a very special group we have here tonight,” Superintendent Chris Burrows said. “We want to thank them from the bottom of our hearts for all the years of service they’ve given to Western Brown. “I would have liked to have had a banquet and recognize each one of them individually, but that would take hours and hours to do. These people represent the pride that we all have at Western Brown.” In other business at the meeting, Lisa HensleyBoggs, parent of two Western Brown students addressed the board over a conflict on a transportation issue to and from school for her children. Last year the board voted unanimously to end all bus pick-up for high school students within a five-mile radius of the school. Hensley-Boggs had submitted a letter to the board explaining the problem she was having with the changes in transportation policy. In her letter she made reference to being a 1991 graduate of Western and her strong desire to have her two children also be graduates of Western. “For the past nine years my children have attended school here in this district,” Hensley-Boggs said. “I understand the problem why the bus will no longer pick up my children, because although I own property in Brown County, my house is actually in Clermont County in another district. “My problem is that I was told by your transportation office that they would be picked up, but then on the second day of school I was told they wouldn’t pick them up. If I had known for sure last year, I would have tried harder to get my kids into a Williamsburg school and would have had the whole summer to make other arrangements.” The woman thanked Burrows for all his help in trying to come up with a solution. Several members of the board apologized to the

woman for being misled about the pick up. They also assured her that they would continue to search for a solution. Later in the meeting Burrows offered an update to the board on the changes made at the end of the last school year regarding transportation in the district. “Last year we still needed to make cuts in our budget,” Burrows began, “Transportation was the last thing on the table. It was either cut three or four more teachers or make cuts in transportation. We knew then that this was going to be a thorn in our side.” Burrows said that with taking seven buses off the routes, the preliminary data was now in and to date the savings are $210,000 in salary, $79,000 savings in fringes and based on a fuel cost of $3.75 a gallon, a $78,000 in fuel savings. “But even with these savings,” Burrows continued,” I would still like to see our finance committee hold some special public meetings and invite everyone in for their suggestions and input. “It this levy doesn’t go, what if...and if it does go...what if? We have to plan for the future.” Western Brown Band Booster president Tony Arnold attended the meeting to offer a public thank you to Superintendent Burrows for his help with some financial issues regarding the purchase of band instruments. “I met with Mr. Burrows and after talking everything through we reached a really good agreement,” Arnold said. “He called me at home on his own time and I just wanted to thank him again in front of the board for all his help.” Arnold said his booster club is doing everything in its power to raise money for

Arnold reminded the board of the upcoming Band Invitational set for Saturday, October 13 at Western. Western Brown Energy Education Specialist Roger Taylor and Energy Education representative Jim Seamans gave a brief update on the success of the energy program now in place in the district. During the meeting members of the board were presented with plaques and an award for achieving the Energy Star of Excellence for their continued efforts in saving energy. Taylor told the board that in the past 11 months the district has saved over $162,000 in energy costs through the energy program.
The board also discussed the following issues: • open enrollment has been down for two years to minus 80, now at minus 26, the trend is closing; • virtual education and the American School correspondence course and credit requirements; • Southern State Community College associates degrees to be offered to Western Brown students; • 3rd grade reading guarantee monitoring programs and assessments being set up; • gifted and talented programs for fourth graders, on line, possibly Spanish or Latin; • real estate tax money down $80,000 from last year, partly due to foreclosures and delinquent taxes. Several new employees and volunteers were approved by the board as well as several trips and conference attendance were approved.

Reader implores voters to think Dear Editor, It’s been reported the November election will be the most important one in the history of America. Here are some questions voters must find answers to in order to keep America from becoming a nation that will not come close to being recognized as the great country we know today. What were gas prices when Obama took office? What are the gas prices today? Why do we continue to import energy needs rather than develop our own? What was America’s debt when Bush left office? Did you know the combined debt of Presidents Washing-
ton through Clinton were less than Obama accumulated in less than 4 years? What is America’s debt now? Why are we spending more than we take in? What was the unemployment when Bush left office? What is the unemployment rate today? Where are the jobs Obama promised? Why does Obama keep harping about the rich paying their fair share? If you wanted a job would you go looking on skid row or seek a rich businessman? Why would Obama appoint a self professed Communist (Van Jones) as a Czar in the White House? Who was Saul Aulinski and why was this

Communist, Obama’s mentor? Has everyone seen the movie, “2016, Obama’s America”? (That movie will answer a lot of these questions). How can 30 plus million be added to Obamacare and not cost someone something? Did you ever think he might know exactly what he’s doing to America? How many rounds of golf have been played and vacations taken by Obama? Did you know Obama has held more fundraisers, by far, than Presidents Bush Jr., Clinton, Bush Sr., Reagan and Carter combined? Why does the first lady need 26 staff members? How many staff members did the previous 5 first ladies have? Obama hasn’t done what
he promised when he campaigned in 2008, so why believe him now? Will America stay the country we all love and cherish or become a country where you would never choose to have your children or grandchildren reside? Maybe had it not been for all the golf outings, vacations and fundraisers, he could have done something about the economy? Lets all remove our Republican and Democrat hats and replace them with an “American” hat! Think voters, think! Please think about the above and check it out for yourselves. Jack Sinkking Batavia
Reader upset by inspection charge Dear Editor, As I remember, not too long ago, the Brown County Health Department was short on funds and needed more money to run on. Now they have hired a “full-time” Sanitarian Inspector to make septic system and other sewer systems inspections on a “regular basis”. They plan to charge residents a $40.00 inspection fee, giving residents no say about
the inspection. Regardless of the condition of their system the fee is still due whether the septic system is in good or bad shape. My system is cleaned regularly, as most households do. I and others will be charged just to pay a new persons salary! This is ridiculous and unreasonable! These inspections and charges should be reconsidered NOW! Anna Bohl, Pike Township
A high speed chase broke out in Brown County on Friday, Sept. 14. Thanks to the professionalism and dedication of our local law enforcement officers, it ended quickly and without injury. It started when Georgetown Officer Kyle Singleton pulled over a car for broken taillights at Wild Willies near the landfill. As Singleton was getting out of his police car, the driver took off, heading north on 68 at 100 miles per hour. A routine traffic stop had suddenly turned into a severe danger for everybody on the road. It was 2:45 in the afternoon. School buses were out and the highway was crowded...and a criminal who didn’t want to be caught is driving 100 miles per hour, passing on curves and hills. But Singleton did everything right. He backed off the driver to give him a chance to calm down...and perhaps slow down. The driver didn’t. He called the Brown County Communications Center, alerted them to the situation and continued to call out his location as the chase moved toward Mt. Orab. The Communications Center put the word out...and three Mt. Orab police cars, two sheriff’s deputies and an Ohio High-
Wayne Gates, editor way Patrol Trooper responded in minutes. Trooper Andrew Dunn threw stop sticks on the highway at Bethel-New Hope Road, but the driver got around them. Waiting up the road was Mt. Orab Police Chief Bryan Mount. He got one of the drivers tires with his set of stop sticks. Further up the road, Mt. Orab Police Lieutenant Josh Black and Sheriff’s Office Detective Buddy Moore had stopped traffic heading south to try and keep people safe. Black nailed two more tires with his sticks as the car flew past. A driver who had no hesitation about passing seven cars in a row, driving on the left side of the road and blowing past school buses full of kids was now on three flat tires. The chase was over. The car limped to a stop, and the driver was arrested. Not before resisting, of course. Mt. Orab Police Officer Ryan Gregory and Georgetown Police Officer Mike Mills also participated in capturing the driver. CONTINUED ON PAGE 5
What Do You Think? With gas prices fluctuating daily as much as 48 cents a gallon, do you think the government should intervene and put a cap on gas prices?
Actually, no the government shouldn't intervene, these gas stations should be honest. You know when a station gets new gas in their tanks. If they haven't received new gas, why should their gas price go up? Margie McElroy, Georgetown
Absolutely no, business dictates that if the government makes a gas cap, that's where the price will stay from now on. The gas companies should have a cap on their profit margins. Joe Laugel, Georgetown
Yes I do think the government should intervene, I think they raise those prices whenever they want to. And holidays are the worse time when they raise the prices. Denise Miller, Fayetteville
This government already intervenes enough in our business, but I do believe something needs to be done about gas prices. Jason Patten, Hamersville
I think America needs to be using its own resources and the gas price would go down on its own. Patsy Clark, Williamsburg
Yes, it would probably be a good idea if the government would do more for the American people. Amanda Verdon, Williamsburg

be a next time. All of the men and women who spend their days five minutes from the next life-threatening situation deserve our thanks and respect. The stop sticks also played a big part in ending this chase. Mount deserves praise for asking for them, and the Village of Mt. Orab deserves praise for paying for them.
Mount told me that replacing the stop sticks used in ending the chase will cost about $800.00...and that this isn’t the first time that this tool has been used in Brown County to bring a chase to a close. Considering the potential cost in lives and property if the driver had tried to continue toward Mt. Orab at 100 miles per hour, 800 bucks is pretty cheap.
Letters to the Editor
Saying ‘Thank You’ to surgical techs Dear Editor, New technology has revolutionized the transformative power of surgery. Thanks to these new technologies and modern methods, surgeries of increased complexity and variety can be done. As we celebrate National Surgical Technologist Week, we are thinking about the Surgical Technologists on staff here at Southwest Regional Medical Center. Successful surgeries require a team effort. Hiring educated and competent surgical technologists is one way health care facilities enhance surgical safety, prevent surgical site infections and achieve successful outcomes. Dr. J. W. Lee, Chief of Surgical Staff at SWRMC said “Many surgeries are being performed in our
hospital. Surgical procedures are complicated and require extensive use of highly technical equipment. The proper education and training of all team members is vital to the successful outcome of all surgical patients. Our surgical techs are very skilled, and valuable employees.” We encourage and promote certification of our surgical technologists here at Southwest. The “techs” on staff have more than 50 combined years of experience! Surgical technologists use their expertise in asepsis and equipment to prepare the operating room. They prepare the sterile field using sterile technique, setting up surgical instruments, sterile drapes and sterile solutions. They assemble surgical equipment and check the safety
of all needed equipment. They also help with positioning and draping of the patient. During procedures, the surgical technologist stands next to the surgeon and the patient, helping the surgeon with equipment throughout the surgery, expediting surgical procedures by swiftly passing and skillfully using appropriate surgical instruments, and monitoring surgical instruments and supplies. Dr. Rasesh Desai, Director of Orthopedic and Spine Surgery at SWRMC said “Surgical technologists are a critical part of this team to ensure safe delivery of surgical care to our patients. I consider ours to be “top notch” and they have been very helpful with my surgeries.” Surgical technologists are specifically trained and
responsible for maintaining the integrity of the “sterile field” of which is considered the highest priority. Surgical technologists may operate lasers, sterilizers, lights, suction and diagnostic equipment. They are trained to handle and minimize exposure to hazardous materials. They along with the RN ensure all counts are correct to protect the safety of the patient. This week, keep our surgical technologists in mind. They are highly skilled and vital people behind those masks, along with the rest of the surgical team! We have a great team!” Belle Bernice Cord RN CNOR CRNFA Director of Peri Operative Services Southwest Regional Medical Center
Reader says Obama Anti-Tax pledge is should finish the job damaging America Dear Editor, I can see very well how President Obama has laid out his plan that will create jobs, expand opportunity and ensure an economy built to last. He will restore the values that built the middle class and the strongest economy the world has ever known. He has already started to get us out of the hole the previous administration left us in. Two wars etc. Which were not paid for! Yes! We are only starting to come out of the mess. But if he is allowed he will encourage investment in education, research and clean energy. Give incentives to companies to bring jobs home from overseas. The middle class will be strengthened and bring many who have been put
below the middle class to crawl out of the misery and despair the previous 8 years has put them in. We the American people face the clearest choice on every issue-jobs, the economy, taxes, deficits, energy, education, war and peace. Yes we are not as far out of the mess as we hoped we would be. This isn't just a choice between two candidates or two parties. It's a choice between two fundamentally different views of the country's future. With Romney we know he will cut spending for education for our children but not his. He and the rest of the people like him forget the people who are in need of a hand up not just a handout.

Upcoming hike to help Hospice of Hope Dear Editor, On October 7, the Jaymie Jamison Foundation for Hope will be supporting the Hospice of Hope in their Hike for Hope. The Hike begins and ends at Merchants Bank in Mount Orab. We encourage you to help support this non-profit organization. Hospice of Hope is very dear to our heart, and a part of our mission statement. Jaymie Jamison was a 34 year old mother, who lost her battle with Cervical Cancer on February 6, 2011. In Jaymie's last months she was given excellent first-rate hospice care. It was Jaymie's direct wish to give back to the Hospice of Hope, and help other people receive the same excellent care as she did. The Jaymie Jamison Foundation for Hope has 4 main goals. First, to raise awareness for gynecological cancer. To provide families a helping hand, who
are going through the same horrific experience as the Jamison family. To provide financial support to medical research. And finally, Jaymie's direct wish, to provide support to Hospice of Hope. In the 19 months since The Jaymie Jamison Foundation has begun we have been able to support Hospice for Hope by providing them with a $500 check. We are continuing to support them by walking in their Hike for Hope. We encourage you to join our team!! Wear your Jaymie Jamison Foundation shirt or teal and walk with us to support the Hospice of Hope. You may get a registration form at www.hospiceforhope.com. Looking forward to seeing you there!

Dear Editor, Now and in the coming days, we will be assaulted by half truths and outright lies, on TV, in the papers, on the Internet, on our telephones and in our mailboxes. It will pay us to try to stay ahead of the spinners and publicists, and get correct information with which to keep our heads clear. I received a document in today’s mail which deserves careful scrutiny. It came from ATR, Americans for Tax Reform, the group headed by Grover Norquist, the person who has successfully obtained the signatures of over 1500 legislators, at every level of government, on the “Taxpayer Protection Pledge”. He wields these “pledges” over the heads of senators, congressmen, governors and state representatives whenever the question of increasing revenue for the state or nation by raising taxes arises, and as a result, has effectively paralyzed our government in recent years. As Granny used to say, “who died and made HIM president?” I didn’t vote for him. Neither did anybody else. He has never run in an election, and yet he has such incredible (and undeserved) power over our elected officials that our country lost its good credit rating, many public employees have lost their jobs, and Congress has

done nothing to effectively create jobs to improve our economy. We need to know these things! Grover Norquist, just one man, unelected, is running the United States into the ground! Susan Bean Georgetown

Little gets training on stopping stalkers Thanks to the sponsorship of the YWCA, Brown County Prosecuting Attorney Jessica Little attended the National conference on Prosecuting Stalking Cases in St. Louis, Missouri, on August 28th and 29th. The training was presented by the National Center for Victims of Crime in partnership with the U.S. Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women. Stalking is a pattern of behavior directed at a specific individual that would cause a reasonable person to have fear. Most victims of stalking are women who’s stalker is their current or former intimate partner. 81% of stalking victims who were stalked by their partner report that they had also been physically assaulted by that partner. 76% of women murdered by their partners reported at least one episode of stalking in the 12 months prior to their murder. “At this training, I learned the frightening ways that stalkers are using new technology to harass and track their victims. GPS, Smart Phones, Cloud computing, Social Networks, Spyware, and Spoofing are examples of things that can be used for good or evil. It is essential that prosecutors stay in front of the wave of technology so
they know how to obtain and present evidence.” Jessica Little “The YWCA Eastern Area was thrilled to sponsor Prosecuting Attorney Little’s attendance at this critical and informative conference. We know that the more knowledge about and resources on stalking that Attorney Little has the more perpetrators she will be able to successfully prosecute. The YWCA hopes to continue collaborating with the Brown County Prosecutor’s Office to serve victims of stalking, domestic violence and sexual assault .”

Dr. William “Bill” Moore, 98 Dr. William A. Moore, “Bill”, 98, of Russellville, died peacefully at home on Friday, September 14, 2012. Bill Moore was born December 10, 1913, the fifth child of the late Dr. George W. Moore and Vinnie Lutmer Moore of Cincinnati. He grew up in Price Hill, graduated from Western Hills High School, and received his B.A. and M.D. degrees from the University of Dr. William “Bill” Moore Cincinnati. With the intensified conflict in Europe, he interrupted his residency at UC to join the Army Medical Corps in the summer of 1941. While stationed at Camp Robinson in Little Rock, AK he married his sweetheart, Neva Rosalie Martin of Mechanicsburg, Oh. Rosalie was a Registered Nurse, a Nurse Anesthetist and Nursing Instructor whom Bill had dated since she was a student at the Cincinnati College of Nursing. Two months after their marriage the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor and on D Day + 20, Dr. Moore landed at Omaha Beach. In the European theater, he treated casualties in five campaigns. He was responsible for setting up a field hospital from the ground up and assumed command of the platoon serving the hospital. Major William Moore was honorably discharged at the end of the war after serving 4 ½ years in the Army. Upon his return to Cincinnati, Dr. Moore completed his surgical residency at the Good Samaritan Hospital. In 1948, he opened his medical office in the Center Trust Tower and for 33 years maintained a busy general surgical practice serving on staff at both the Good Samaritan Hospital and The Deaconess. In addition to this he worked for the Cincinnati Bell Telephone Company as their Medical Director for 30 years. Dr. Moore retired in 1981 and moved with his wife to their farm in Russellville, Brown County. Within six months of moving, Dr. Moore was recruited by Brown County General Hospital to assist physicians with issues related to surgery and coverage. Eight years later he fully retired but continued his commitment to Brown County General Hospital serving on the Board of Trustees and as president of the Board from 1992 to 1996. In 2011, Dr. Moore was honored by The Heart of Brown County General Hospital Foundation, when he was recognized with the physician award for “having made significant contributions for the betterment of Brown County”. Dr. Moore was a proud member of American Legion Post 180, as well as a member of the University Club of Cincinnati, the Ohio Society, the Brown County Historical Society and the Russellville Kiwanis. He was recently awarded his 60 year membership pin from the Brown County Shrine. Dr. Moore was preceded in death by his devoted wife of 68 years, Rosalie. He is survived by his three loving children: William A. Moore, Jr. of Cincinnati, Ginger M. Tucker of Chadds Ford, PA and Patty M. Lowry of Bloomfield, NJ; eight grandchildren, and six great grandchildren. A private graveside ceremony with military honors will be held for the family in Spring Grove Cemetery.

FOLLOW Go with me to Matthew 4:18-19. Here we will find where Jesus calls His first disciples. “And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers. And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.” The key word here is “make”. Some people say that they are not qualified to be a fisher of men. In fact, in another account of this event in Luke 5:8, Peter said: “...Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.” He realized his sinfulness. He realized his short comings. He did not feel qualified. Many of us have felt that same way. When I was first asked to teach a Sunday School class back in 1953, when I had only been saved for three weeks, I did not feel qualified. However, I did teach it. When I was asked to be superintendent of the 7-8 grade classes, I did not feel qualified, but I took the position. When I was asked to be superintendent over all of the Sunday School classes, I did not feel qualified, but I accepted. Look, Peter said: “...Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.” But Jesus said: “...Follow me, and I will make you...” qualified. In other words He will take care of all your insufficiences. What did Peter and Andrew do? Look at verse 20: “And they straightway left their nets, and followed him.” They did not hesitate, think about it, or pray about it. They immediately left their nets and followed Jesus. The Bible talks a lot about following. For all these years I have been trying to recruit people into God’s work. When I have asked them to be a Sunday School teacher or a superintendent or a bus driver, or whatever, many times the first response is: I can’t do that, or I’ll pray about it. Quite a bit of the time when Baptists say: I’ll pray about it, it really means that they are not going to do it. That is the holy interpretation of that statement! Another thing I hear is: I am not going to follow a man. There are many instances in the Bible where people followed good leadership. Lot followed Abram, Joshua followed Moses, men followed David before he was king. However, there is One who everyone
DR. CHARLES SMITH MT. ORAB BIBLE BAPTIST CHURCH WWW.BBMTORAB.COM
should follow, but not all do. Jesus said in John 10:27: “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.” The nature of a human being is to follow someone or something. Jesus likens us to sheep because they have that same nature. The 23rd Psalm states: “The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want... he leadeth me beside the still waters...” Jesus is saying: Follow me. What does a shepherd do with his sheep? He leads them and they follow him. I made the decision to follow Jesus the day I received Christ as my Saviour. When I was asked to take a class, I took it. When asked to do other things, I did. The next thing I knew I became a Pastor and I have been a Pastor for all these years. Jesus will make you to be what He wants you to be if you will follow Him! He will make you qualified! There is no happier life than that! Listen, there is more confusion about religion in the world today then there was in the day of Elijah when he asked the people: “...How long halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him...” You can read the whole account in I Kings 18:17-39. The conclusion of the people in verse 39 was: “...The LORD, he is the God; the LORD, he is the God.” It is time for you to come to the same conclusion and start following Him! You need to make a decision now; if you don’t time will make it for you! The Bible tells us in James 4:14 that our life is but a vapor; it appears for a little time and then vanishes away. Life is short. Do not delay your decision because later it might be too late. Accept Christ as your Saviour and follow Him. Today is the day to get saved. If you are saved, today is the day to start following Christ Jesus!

Coyotes topic of September 27 event at SSCC South Campus Author Carol Cartaino will discuss her book “Myths & Truths About Coyotes” 6 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 27, in the Learning Resources Center on Southern State Community College’s South Campus, 12681 U.S. Route 62, near Sardinia. The event is free and open to the public. According to the book’s description, “Coyotes hold a peculiar interest as both an enduring symbol of the wild and a powerful predator we are always anxious to avoid. This book examines the spread of coyotes across the country over the past century, and the storm of concern and controversy that has followed. Individual chapters cover the surprisingly complex question of how to identify a coyote, the real and imagined dangers they pose, their personality and lifestyle, and non-deadly ways of discouraging them.”

Eastern Superintendent sets new curriculum goals Michelle Filon, Superintendent of Eastern Local School District briefed members of the board of education on her goals for the upcoming school year, during the September 18 board meeting. Filon appeared excited about sharing the plan with the board and presented a power point, stepping board members through her plan. “My main objective for this school year or my main two goals are to increase rigor in our curriculum and improve communication by focusing on customer service,” she began. “Academically our school does very well, but there are a few areas that we need to improve our curriculum.” Filon pointed out how she planned on achieving her goals by implementing schedules that provide staff members training with the new Common Core standards. She plans on becoming certified to evaluate staff members with the new evaluation system and oversee a schedule with the high school principal allowing for the addition of two ‘Advanced Placement’ courses being added to the curriculum. She listed several other ways which she hopes will increase rigor in the curriculum including: • piloting the evaluation system; • developing and implementing a new teacher cohort; • meeting monthly with the cohort to monitor progress; • conducting a book study using “What Great Teachers Do differently: by Todd Whitaker; • building level plans that allow each campus to choose three areas of focus that meet their unique needs. For her second goal regarding communication, her plans include: • developing and implementing a parent advisory council; • organize and implement an Outdoor Sports Complex Task Forch to help develop a plan that provides for growth in stages involving all stakeholders; • manage a district facebook page; • conduct a monthly book study with principals using the book, “Who Cares?”; • continue participation in community-based groups, such as the Chamber of Commerce and Toastmasters. Board member Vern Creighton, legislative liaison for the board, reported updates on Bills 341 and 342. “Last week both the House and the Senate passed Bills 341 and 342 and they’ve been sent to the Governor to be signed,” Creighton stated. “These bills effect pension reform. “There will be a lot of changes made, but the major change is that pensions will be based on the five highest years of income instead of three years. And there will be no cost of living adjustment for this school year.

“Prior to 2015 a teacher could retire with 30 years at any age, but after that year it steps up each year. And by 2026 they will have to have 35 years and be at least 60 years old.” Creighton added that there will also be a sliding scale for employee contribution to the retirement fund. The upcoming year starts out with 10% then goes up each year until it reaches 14%. “I really do understand this,” Creighton added, “but
if the board decides that they have enough money, they can lower that, but I can’t see that happening.” Creighton said two other bills are considered top priorities in Congress. The first bill changes school years from days to hours and minutes and the other bill is in regard to giving vouchers to parents to send there children to a school of their choice and special education scholarships. In other business, an update on progress at Sardinia Elementary School was given by Principal Mike Bick. He reported the following: • Fun Friday at the school is next week, children may dress in Disney apparel; • Carol Turner has achieved ‘Master Teacher’ status and will have her own parking space; • 3rd grade reading assessments are being designed by the teachers; • the special Autism Unit at the school has been deemed
huge success; • Fall carnival night set for October 19; • Sardinia Mayor Todd Bumbalough met with several students to discuss new playground equipment being ordered for the village park, paid for by a grant. Susan Paeltz, principal at Russellville Elementary School also gave a report on progress at her school including the following information: • the school had two successful fire drills; • 19 high school community service students had proved to be very helpful with helping younger students; • seven students had been chosen to be part of the honor choir; • October 6 from 4 to 7 p.m. was set for the Fall Carnival at the school; • good behavior days were deemed a success. Eastern High School Principal Jennifer Grimes told the board that there were 396 students currently enrolled and
that the marching band would be performing September 22 in Circleville. She added that they would also be marching in the Brown County Fair parade and be performing at Miami Trace on October 6. She also informed the board on the following issues: • Farm Science Review in London was coming up; • Student Council was organizing a Halloween Dance; • National Honor Society would be organized before the Thanksgiving break; • cross country, boys and girls soccer and girls volley ball were in full swing; • the community service was very strong at the elementary. In his absence, Rob Beucler, principal at the middle school forwarded his an-
nouncements to Filon who read them aloud. The report included: • students recently enjoyed a Luau at Lake Waynoka; • Teacher Heather Lane received her ‘Master Teacher’ status; • boys and girls cross country, volley ball and cheerleading had begun. The board briefly discussed the new third grade reading guarantee policy which Superintendent Filon had drafted and presented to the board for approval. The board did accept and approve the new policy.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 scene revealed heavy traffic. It was close to three in the afternoon. Two school buses full of children could be seen on the road as Hayslip flew by. “I was really worried about kids getting off the buses and crossing the highway”, Singleton said. “If he wasn’t stopping for me, he wasn’t going to stop for a school bus stop sign.” Hayslip continued to fly north. Waiting for him at Layman Road was Mt. Orab Police Chief Bryan Mount. Mount pulled the stop stick into Hayslip’s path, shredding one of the front tires. With a tire leaking air quickly, Hayslip kept driving at high speed. Waiting just up the road were Mt. Orab Police Lieutenant Josh Black and Brown County Sheriff’s Department Detective Buddy Moore. They had stopped traffic heading south on US 68, preventing anyone from being hit if Hayslip were to cross the center line. Black had the cord for another pair of stop sticks in his hand. As Hayslip approached, Black yanked the razor sharp stick in front of him before he could react. The two rear tires exploded and Hayslip’s speed started to slow. At that point, the chase was essentially over. Singleton said Hayslip’s car slowed to about 20 miles per hour and then finally left the road across from the Old Country Inn in Mt. Orab. As Hayslip’s car slowed to a stop, Singleton, Mount and Mt. Orab Police Officer Ryan Gregory pulled in behind him. All three officers

had drawn their weapons. “I yelled ‘Show me your hands right now’ and he put his hands up”, Mount said. “Officer Gregory was covering the female in the car (passenger Julie Wilson) as Singleton and I ordered him out of the car.” Once Hayslip left the car, he resisted arrest. Mount and Singleton forced Hayslip’s hands behind his back, handcuffed him and placed him in Singleton’s patrol car. Singleton said he was pleased and grateful that the dispatch center was able to work with and coordinate with five other law enforcement agencies to stop the chase. “Everyone worked together very well under a lot of pressure and everything ended well. You can’t ask for more than that”, he said. Hayslip was charged with Driving Under Suspension a first degree Misdemeanor, Failure to Comply with the Order of a Police Officer, a third degree Felony, Resisting Arrest a second degree Misdemeanor, Possession of an Open Container of Alcohol and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia, a fourth de-
gree Misdemeanor. His passenger, 36 year old Julie Wilson of West Union, was charged with Tampering with Evidence, a Third Degree Felony. Both are currently in the Brown County Adult Detention Center. In a press release, Georgetown Police Chief Buddy Coburn praised the cooperation and tactics involved in the arrest of Hayslip. “Had Chief Mount and Lt. Black not been able to stop him by deflating his tires, Patrolman Singleton would have terminated the pursuit prior to entering the down town area of Mt. Orab. It is highly unlikely the suspect would have slowed down going through the middle of town. Chief Forrest ‘Buddy’ Coburn would like to thank Chief Mount and Lt. Black for their quick actions, Patrolman Tim Oberschlake of the Mt. Orab Police Department, Sgt. Shannon Utter and Trooper Andrew Dunn of the Ohio State Highway Patrol, Detective Buddy Moore of the Brown County Sheriff’s Department and State Fire Marshall Rob Dunn for their assistance in bringing this pursuit to a safe conclusion.”
1.8M coming to Mt. Orab to fix overpass CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 The project calls for the construction of left-turn lanes on U.S. 68 at both S.R. 32 ramp intersections, as well as the construction of a rightturn lane from the S.R. 32 East off-ramp at the U.S. 68 intersection, signalization and signal coordination. In addition to $1.55 million that will go toward construction, ODOT will pay for the design and utility relocation costs, which are estimated at another $210,000. Lunsford said the overpass itself would be restriped to allow a turn lane in the middle. There are no current plans to widen the overpass itself, but Lunsford said that may prove necessary in the future. Two lights will be placed at each end of the overpass and those lights will be coordinated with the existing traffic lights at Sterling Run Road and Hughes Blvd. “If someone is driving on 68, they won’t have to stop at
every light”, Lunsford said. He added that sensors will be placed in the lanes to allow signals to control traffic flow in the most efficient way possible. Lunsford said he hoped the project will help stimulate the economy of Brown County as well. “In my mind, the traffic problems created by that intersection have been stifling economic development. So it’s not just a safety issue, it’s an economic development issue as well.” Lunsford said another project being worked on was the intersection of BrooksMalott Road and S.R. 32. “We’re going to need $1.135 million dollars to get a light and acceleration/deceleration lanes at BrooksMalott and 32. We’ve already gotten $304 thousand dollars committed and we’re trying to get a couple more grants to secure the rest of the funding.” He said the new lanes will allow drivers to slow down
and turn without backing up traffic behind them and to be able to accelerate safely to get onto the highway. Lunsford said part of that money will go to upgrading the water infrastructure at the intersection in anticipation of Southern State’s new campus. “We have a six inch water line out there now, and that’s not big enough for the sprinklers and all the extra water that Southern State will need”, Lunsford said. “We’re going to put in a 12 inch water line to serve that area.” Lunsford added that he expected the look of that intersection to change as more economic development comes to the area. “Once the economy turns around, in four or five years, you won’t recognize the Brooks-Malott and 32 you see today.” Lunsford said he was hoping to have both projects well underway by next year.
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 and Jay Castle voted in favor of the payment. Council members Jim Perraut and Jason Phillips voted no. Council member Billie Eitel was absent from the meeting. After the vote, council went into executive session once again to discuss litigation, and the adjourned the meeting immediately after going back into public session. The decision to adjourn upset council members Castle and Applegate. “I thought we were going to discuss the water plant issue tonight”, Applegate said. “That’s what we were told would happen last time (when council met on Sept.
4).” Castle had some strong words regarding the decision not to discuss the water issue. “We were told we were going to make a final decision on the water issue and we didn’t even address the water issue. I asked (Foxworthy) about that and he said he didn’t say that (at the last meeting) so that was a lie. We should have addressed it, but mommy wasn’t here.” In other developments, Aberdeen Village Council Member Billie Eitel has filed a protection order against former council member Robert Hutchinson. Hutchinson was recently charged with Obstructing Official Business for post-
ing a threat against Eitel and council member Jason Phillips on Topix.com. In the Sept. 7 filing, Eitel stated that Hutchinson “has posted threatening posts on a social network naming myself and another council member - He has verbally stated that I made an enemy I didn’t want.” When asked on the form how Hutchinson presents a continuing danger, Eitel wrote “Due to his harassment and stalking via internet and his now being charged with obstructing government business, I am in fear of retaliation.” Eitel then asked that Hutchinson be instructed “not to interfere pertaining to anything that will prevent me from conducting my duties as a council member.”

BY Martha B. Jacob The Brown County Press Members of the Georgetown Village Council heard from two residents at its September 13 meeting regarding the possible elimination of the three crossing guards used near the Georgetown Exempted Schools. Crossing guards Anna Ralston and Jim Glaze approached council to ask for their opinion of the move by the schools to do away with their jobs. Mayor Dale Cahall told the pair that the final decision would be made by the Georgetown School Board and it was his understanding that the issue was still being discussed by the board. At the August 15 Georgetown Board of Education meeting, Superintendent Tom Durbin asked the board to consider eliminating the three positions. The move would save the district approximately $12,000 a year. He added that he would conduct a survey to count just how many students are actually being helped by the crossing guards. “Basically,” began Ralston, “What we’ve read in the newspaper, and they didn’t even tell us, call us, or discuss anything, they just basically said that we were making too much money and that we would be evaluated until October. So that’s why Jim and I are here tonight, we want to know if you all feel that there should be someone there at the crossings for students. There have already been a lot of parents tell us that they are very unhappy about this.” Ralston went on to say that from day to day, they never know how many students will be at the crosswalks. She added that she has been doing the job for 31 years and would like to continue doing it. Councilman Steve Triplett stated that he personally would be very concerned for student safety if the school board decides to do away with the crossing guards. Mayor Cahall explained that nothing can be done at this time until the decision is made one way or another if
the positions are going to be eliminated. He also asked Administrator Jeremy Germann to contact Mr. Durbin and keep council up to date on any decision made by the school board. In other business at the meeting, Germann told council that he was gradually making the transition into his new job and that he appreciated all the help he had received from everyone getting him up to speed. “I would like to let council know that because our rating score with Workers Comp has been so consistently low,” he said, “ we are now able to join in a new insurance pool which will save the village about $12,000 next year. There are a lot of things that can effect that rating, including injuries at the work place, and we are now at a good place.” He also told council that he is currently in negotiations with the Internal Revenue Service regarding the excise tax on diesel and gas purchased by the village. He said that the village is exempt from the excise tax, but has been paying it for the past several years. He has now filled out all the forms necessary to get the money back for the village. He was unsure exactly how much the refund will be. He told council that although the village wide yard sales were very successful, future village wide yard sales will be scheduled for Thursday, Friday and Saturday instead of Friday, Saturday and Sunday. After suspending the three reading rule council accepted a resolution accepting the amounts and rates as determined by the budget commission and authorizing the necessary tax levies and certifying them to the county auditor. Trick-or-Treat Night was officially set for Wednesday, October 31 from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Georgetown Chief of Police Buddy Coburn reported the following information to council reported since the last council meeting: • police department took 34 criminal reports, eight thefts, 10 narcotics cases,

four domestic violence, three alcohol related involving underage persons, two animal complaints, three disorderly conducts involving adults and alcohol, one curfew violation, one criminal trespassing, one obstructing justice and one failure to provide for functionally impaired person; • a new license plate reader was installed in one of the departments Dodge cruisers; • Ptl. Vicky Coburn and Ptl. Matt Staggs attended the recent Opiate Task Force meeting; • the police department is organizing for coverage of the Brown County Fair; • Chief Coburn said his department and the Mt. Orab Police Department have decided to share resources in regard to drug related matters; • a weight room has been set up in the police garage to encourage more officers to get and stay in better shape; • the police department plans on having a float in the Fair Parade this year, featuring the K-9 Unit and the Bike Unit. The next Georgetown Village Council meeting will be held on Thursday, October 11 at 7:30 p.m. The meetings are always open to the public.

The 2012
O D D
BROWN COUNTY FAIR Mon., Sept. 24 to Sat., Sept. 29 Georgetown, Ohio
It’s that time of year again The first upcoming event is the 2012-2013 archery season. The opening day is September 29, 2012 and will continue until February 3, 2013. Again this year the game check transactions will be available by phone and on-line seven days week. Landowners that are not required to have a deer permit, will need to check in harvested deer by the internet or at a license agent, they cannot use the phone system to check in deer. Ohio hunters can purchase $15.00 antlerless tags again this year and can be used in all zones A, B and C. But take note the $15.00 tags are valid from September 25 - November 25 2012, they can only be purchased until November 25. This year they are not valid during gun season, so remember the last day you can tag a deer with one of these is November 25 2012 . The next event I would like to talk about is for the young and new hunters in Brown County. A hunters safety course will take place on October 8, 9 and 11. The location for the course will be the Georgetown American Legion Post. For more information on this course you can contact Mike Baker at (937) 378-1078. Remember it is required to have a hunter safety course to get your hunting license for the first time. And the last event I would like to bring to all of your attention is one that some of you may consider not having anything to do with hunting at all. This event is the Brown County Fair, an event that just about every person in Brown County knows about

FROM THE DESK OF THE
WORKING HUNTER Jeff Kress and a very large percentage will attend. Ok now, how does the fair relate to hunting? Over the past few years I have seen more and more booths that have information about different kinds of hunting items, from deer minerals to hunting clothing and so on. And you can always find someone that is a hunter to talk about what they have been seeing or share pictures from trail cams. In years past you would have done this at one of the checking stations, but now with the new system we don’t get the chance to share information or hunting stories, so it is one of the traditions related to hunting we lost, but the Brown County Fair has helped us to regain it by giving us a place to gather and share information. And if you get the chance to talk to one of the many farmers that attend the fair you may just get permission to a new piece of hunting land because some of the farmers have deer problems, but be willing to harvest does, and not just sit and wait for horns, because the problem lies with deer eating beans and corn, which cost the farmers money and does eat as much as bucks. Now when you are at the fair and you happen to see me, ask me about some of the new hunting products on the market today and about some of the old ones.

852 Mt. Orab Pike, Georgetown, OH 45121 Saturday, September 15, 2012 was a beautiful day on which to hold the
19th Annual Pregnancy Resource Center
Walk for Life
Nearly 40 people attended to show their support for life and the mission of the Pregnancy Resource Center. About $3000 was collected to be used to give parents an opportunity to choose life for their baby and improve the lives of families with infants and children in Brown County.
Prizes were awarded to those who collected the most money in each category. Winners: 1st Place Male: David Sharp; 2nd Place Male: John Bender; 1st Place Female: Kay Davenport; 2nd Place Female: Pam Crabb (not pictured).

Cross country teams off to strong start, look for better finish The cross country season is well underway and it looks, just like last year, that the 2012 season could be pretty good for local runners and teams. Several local runners, and a couple of teams, each ran well enough a year ago to advance through their respective district races to regionals and, in the case of two Georgetown runners, to state. With many of those runners returning this year, expectations are high again for many local runners and teams. The team with the highest expectations may very well hail from Georgetown. Both the Georgetown
girls and boys cross country teams are led by returning state qualifiers from a year ago and each have a deep roster of determined runners The G-Men are led by two-time state qualifier Nick McAfee. The senior runner has won five races already this season as he looks to make his third straight trip to state. But with a deep roster that also includes seniors Kyle Damen, Logan Lucas, Brandon Helterbrand and Tom Cropper as well as sophomores Jordan Kattine, Jake Cropper and Matt Williams plus newcomer Spencer Taylor, the G-Men hope to accomplish some big things as a team. They’ve won two
straight team titles after collecting wins at the Vern Hawkins Invitational on Sept. 12 at Georgetown High School and the Bethel-Tate Invitational on Saturday. “The ultimate goal is to show well at district and get a top four spot at reg i o n a l s , ” G e o rg e t o w n coach Chad Sexton said. Though their goal is to get to state as a team and finish in the top 10, Sexton said “everything would have to fall in place” for that to happen. Meanwhile, for the Lady G-Men, Sexton hopes to build off of last year. They were the Southern Buckeye Conference-National Division champions a year ago Last year’s league title
was somewhat surprising to many but the Lady GMen aren’t sneaking up on anyone this year. They’ve won three straight team titles including the Felicity Invitational on Sept. 8 as well as the Vern Hawkins Invitational and the Bethel-Tate Invitational. The Lady G-Men cross country team has saw quite a bit of growth over the past couple years to the point they’ve attained now. Leading this year’s squad is Kylie Watson, a returning state qualifier from a year ago. In addition, they have 10 girls out this year including Courtney Wiechman, Megan Williams, Veronica Johnson, Kasey Spires, Becca Moe, Becca
Whitaker, Kelsey Miller, Kelsey Crawford and Rachel Gibbons. “It’s neat to come to practice and see seven or eight girls training,” Sexton said. With that depth and a determined bunch, he hopes to see them continue to improve just as they did last year when they reached regionals for the first time. “I’d like to win league again,” Sexton said. “To really move up in districts and go into regionals.” Also competing at the Vern Hawkins Invitational with the Georgetown teams were Ripley and Western Brown, both of whom are looking to improve from last year. Ripley has talent on both of their teams but they
are at different levels as far as how well they’ll be able to compete as the season winds down. The Lady Jays are a stronger, more veteran bunch. They are led by Samara Hawkins, Stacey White and Brianna Payne. Other team members include Tish Roberts, Trennan Phillips, Madeline Henry and Lexie Wallingford. Ripley coach Jerry Kelly feels good about his girls chances at the Southern Hills League meet. “We’ve got a chance,” he said. “If we show up, we got a chance. We’ve got a decent shot. Probably the best we’ve had for a few years.” For the Blue Jays, it’s a CONTINUED ON PAGE 22
Broncos defense makes the big plays in win
CMYK
BY Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press The Western Brown football team couldn’t have dreamt of a worse beginning. Squaring off against Southern Buckeye Conference-American Division rival New Richmond, a team they hadn’t beaten since 2008, the Broncos found themselves down 13 points less than two minutes in. Though the Broncos got themselves back into the game, they still found themselves down by eight points at halftime. Thanks to a little pep talk from three of the team’s seniors, however, the Broncos came out of the halftime break looking like a new team. They quickly fought back and took the lead about five minutes into the third quarter. And in a game where the offenses ruled much of the night, it was the Broncos defense that made the biggest plays. The Broncos stopped New Richmond twice on fourth down late in the fourth quarter to seal a 4236 win in the conference opener for both teams. “At halftime our seniors -- Jake Morrison, Brady Brooks (and) Jake Lawson -- got together and, kind of, rounded up the group,” Western Brown coach Evan Dreyer said. “(With) the leadership committee talking to the team and getting them to do their job, they played a great second half.” Blake Thompson’s 54yard touchdown run and Malik Davis’ interception returned for a touchdown on the Broncos first offensive play seemingly put the Lions in control. The scores gave the visitors a 13-0 lead with 10:17 left in the opening quarter. While the Broncos (4-0, 1-0 SBC-A) did eventually find life on offense, the early scores helped the Lions take a 29-21 lead into halftime as Levi Simpson nailed a 34-yard field goal as time expired on the first half. It didn’t take long for that lead to evaporate,
however, as the Broncos wasted little time keeping its offensive momentum rolling. In fact, it started on the opening kickoff of the second half. Jake Lawson returned the kickoff 30 yards for the Broncos into Lions territory, something that was a theme all night long for the Broncos. He returned four kicks for a total of 153 yards, an average of 38.2 yards a return. With that great field position, the Broncos wasted little time tying the game. Gunnar Woodyard took a screen pass just beyond the line of scrimmage, followed his blockers, cut outside and sprinted into the end zone for a 48-yard score. Christian Dawson delivered a big block inside the 10 yard line to spring Woodyard. A two-point conversion pass from Devyn Wood to Dawson tied the game at 29 apiece just 45 seconds into the second half. The Broncos offense was on top of its game once again Friday night. They racked up 401 total yards en route to putting up the 42 points. “Our offense is playing
great,” Dreyer said. “It’s everybody playing together as one unit. There are certain times when Gunnar steps up, Pierce steps up and Christian steps up. But it’s one of those things where working hard and playing hard on every down is helping us win.” After they forced a quick three and out and a Lions punt, the Broncos took the lead. Though they drove to inside the Lions 10 yard line, a bad snap forced a Justin Berkley 40-yard field goal attempt. The senior drilled the kick to give the Broncos a 32-29 lead with 7:13 left in the third quarter. Trailing for the first time all night, the Lions moved the ball down field quickly on the ensuing drive. Clay Loadman’s 44yard run into Broncos territory and Simpson’s 22-yard run set up Simpson’s quarterback sneak from a yard out that gave the Lions a 36-32 lead. The Lions ran for 331 yards against the Broncos, including 200 yards and two scores from Thompson.

Christian Dawson turns up field on what was a 40-yard touchdown catch and run for the Broncos last Friday night. Dawson caught two touchdown passes in the win.
As well as the Lions offense was playing, though, the defense just couldn’t stop the Broncos offense. Another big Lawson return set up another Berkley field goal, this one from 28 yards out, that got the Broncos within one, 3635. Brady Brooks got the Broncos the ball back two plays into the Lions next drive as he sacked Simpson and forced a fumble, which was recovered by his Bronco teammate Derrick McIntosh. The senior safety made several big plays in the second half for the Broncos. “He did everything we asked of him and tonight he had a lot of roles (like) playing at the line of scrimmage and playing physical,” Dreyer said of Brooks. “He took it personal this week and made sure he was going to do everything possible to win.” Two plays later Wood -who threw for 272 yards and four touchdowns while running for another score -- found Pierce Moore for an over the shoulder catch just inside the pylon to give the Bron-

cos a 42-36 lead with 2:19 left in the third quarter. The Lions had chances late but the Broncos defense made big plays when they were needed. On the 14th play of their first drive of the fourth quarter, the Lions were facing a fourth down and five at the Broncos 25 yard line. They gave the ball to Thompson on a pitch but he was tripped up by Brooks before he could get to the first down marker. New Richmond had one last chance after a Bronco punt with less than three minutes left. Again, the Broncos defense came up big as they tripped up Thompson on a
fourth down pass just inches from a first down. “Each guy, in the second half, did the little things to make sure not to let up the big runs,” Dreyer said. “We wanted them to drive the field and when they had to drive the field we made some key stops in the end.” The win, the first for Dreyer and his players over New Richmond, was big for the Broncos football program in general. But the coach was more concerned what the immediate impact was. “It’s a key win because it’s 1-0 in the conference,” Dreyer said. “We’ve been 0-1 and you’re playing catch-up the next couple

The Lady Rockets record stands 10-2 (6-1 SHL). Football wB Jr. high lose to new richmond Both of the Western Brown seventh and eighth grade football teams lost their matchups with New Richmond last Wednesday evening. The seventh grade lost to the Lions 4220. Seth Becker threw three touchdown passes for the Broncos and amassed nearly 200 yards. He connected with Wyatt Fisher, Zach Stacy and Noah Fry for the touchdown passes. Defensively, the Broncos (0-2) struggled to stop the Lions' running game but did manage to recover two fumbles. Meanwhile, the eighth grade team lost another close game with
turnovers once again hindering the teams chance for a victory. The Broncos scored first on a 45-yard touchdown reception by Austin Brooks from Tim Harvey. The 6-0 score held up through the first half. The Lions recorded 16 unanswered points in the third quarter to take the lead early in the 3rd quarter. Harvey ran in a 45yard touchdown and converted a two-point conversion to Jake Henderson for the Broncos (1-2) to cut the deficit to 16-14. The Lions responded with yet another long touchdown run to regain the lead at 22-14. The Broncos drove the length of the field and threatened to score as time was running out but a fumble ended the threat.
rockets struggle in loss to Bracken County (Ky) BY Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press The Fayetteville football team’s struggles continued on the gridiron last Friday night when they traveled to battle Bracken County (KY). Fumbles and sacks disrupted a Rockets offense that didn’t need any added disruption en route to a 25-0 loss to the Polar Bears. Though the loss was the Rockets fourth in four games so far this season, it may have been the most frustrating of the four simply because Bracken County was a team Rockets coach Harley McCullough felt his team could beat. “We were good enough to beat this team,” he said on Monday afternoon. “We just didn’t.” He added, “It’s frustrating. We’re capable. We’re just not doing it.” The Rockets were in the game throughout the first half and some of the third quarter. Bracken County jumped out to a 6-0 lead a little over halfway through the opening quarter but that’s all they would put on the board in the first half. With the game in their reach, the Rockets could never take advantage of the opportunity. The biggest culprit for the Rockets struggles was its offense. They fumbled the ball five times and allowed four sacks. While they may have lost just one, the fumbles were a detriment to an offense that is still learning how to play together. Most notably, the fumbles put the Rockets in much longer down and distances because they lost yardage on each fumble. “Can’t do it,” McCul-

lough said of putting the ball on the ground five times. “It changes what you can do.” The mistakes were costly enough that it drastically reduced the offensive output. In their first three losses the Rockets were able to put some drives together and gain some yardage. Against the Polar Bears, the Rockets gained just 86 yards on 48 plays. “We’ve been shutout two weeks in a row,” McCullough said. “It looks like we don’t know what we’re doing. We do. It’s just tough.” Though the Rockets are young and still learning, particularly on an offense led by a freshman quarterback and skill position players in new spots, McCullough is still looking for guys to step up and fill in roles. That may mean moving players around to new find the right combination.
“We’ve got to find personnel that will get the job done,” he said. “Right now the personnel are not getting the job done.” Things may look down at the moment but McCullough knows the Rockets still have plenty of time to right the ship. He hopes that starts on Friday night when the Rockets host St. Bernard. The game begins a four week stretch where the Rockets will play three teams that are similar in size and situation. “We’ve got to step up and play some ball,” McCullough said. “We’ve got six weeks to go. We can get some wins.” Getting that elusive first win this Friday night may prove to be the first step in the right direction. “I think a win gives them a lot more confidence,” McCullough said. “It takes some pressure of the community. Our kids don’t wanna lose.”

Lady Broncos come up just short in rematch with Bethel BY Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press Heading into their Southern Buckeye Conference-American Division showdown with BethelTate last Thursday evening, there was only one thing on the Western Brown tennis team’s collective minds. The Lady Broncos wanted to avenge an early season loss to the Lady Tigers and put themselves in position for at least a share of the SBC-A title. And they put up a strong battle -- the match lasted nearly four hours -- but they came up just short. The Lady Tigers beat the Lady Broncos 3-2 for the second time this season, eliminating them from a chance at another SBC-A title. Western Brown got wins from both their doubles teams but, despite battling in all three, came up short in each singles match. “It just so happened that their singles played better than ours this time around,” Western Brown coach Max Vavilov said. Vavilov expected both of doubles teams to be able to get wins and both did. The Lady Broncos No. 1 doubles team of Anna Yockey and Megan Puckett won their match 7-6, 7-6 with both sets having to go to tiebreakers. Their No. 2 doubles team of Katie Young and Felicia Zeller had a little easier time as they beat their counterparts from Bethel 6-3, 7-5. So, as Vavilov figured coming into the match, it was going to come down to one of his singles players picking up the third win. All three players had strong moments throughout their matches but each came up just a little short. Hannah Wiesenhahn, the Lady Broncos No. 1 singles player, lost to Claire Schaljo 6-3, 6-3. Wiesen-

hahn didn’t play all that bad but lost for the third time this season to Schaljo. Compounding matters for Wiesenhahn was a broken racket. She had to use Vavilov’s racket for much of the match after hers broke. “We’re not blaming the racket, Claire is an amazing player obviously, but it does effect how you hit, where you hit, your grip and everything,” Vavilov said. Hannah Keller lost her No. 3 singles match 6-2, 64 so the determining match of the evening ended up being No. 2 singles contest. Morgan Fischer put herself in the drivers seat after taking the first set from Bethel’s Mackenzie Rinehart 6-0. From that point on, however, it was seemingly a different match. The two would play long rallies as they began to trade winning points. Despite having the early momentum, Fischer dropped the match 6-0, 3-6, 4-6 to Rinehart. “Morgan got rattled and her confidence got shaken a little bit,” Vavilov said. “At that point you revert to your old habits of playing
where you’re just trying to play it in. Playing it in is Rinehart’s bread and butter. You keep it in, she’ll keep hitting it back. She was just waiting for us to make our mistakes and we did.” Despite the tough loss, the Lady Broncos have bounced back nicely. They picked up a 3-2 win over Blanchester on Tuesday afternoon with Wiesenhahn, Fischer and Keller all picking up wins. Then, on Wednesday afternoon, the Lady Broncos beat Goshen 5-0. Wiesenhahn, Fischer and Keller all picked up wins in singles while the teams of and Yockey/Puckett Zeller/Kimberly Massy picked up wins in doubles. The back-to-back wins improved the Lady Broncos record to 11-3, with all three defeats coming in close 3-2 losses to good teams. They’ve lost to the undefeated Lady Tigers twice and to a good Kings squad. “Obviously we’re not gonna be competing for a league championship but the season’s still been a successful season,” Vavilov said. “We lost to good teams. Really strong teams. There’s no shame in that.”

SSCC kicks off men’s soccer season with local players On Aug. 24, the Southern State Patriots men’s soccer team made the five-hour trip to Lansing, MI., where they defeated Great Lakes Christian College, 2011 NCCAA II regional semifinalists, by a score of 4-1. “Our players worked really hard to achieve a shutout, but the player that converted the goal for Great Lakes was about six inches taller than anyone on our team,” said Sean Sweeney, SSCC assistant coach. “We try to instill a real sense of pride in the defense that our teams play.” Last season, the Patriots were defeated by Great
Lakes by a score of 4-2. The 2011 Patriots finished sixth in the nation and posted the second best record in SSCC history, finishing the season 12-6-1. But there are big differences between the 2011 and 2012 teams. SSCC lost seven juniors and four sophomores from the 2011 roster. The 2012 Patriots are comprised of five sophomores and 11 freshmen. On Friday night, the Patriots started seven freshmen. Freshman Grant Hanna earned the first goal of his collegiate career with 20:40 remaining. Hanna made a
sliding strike connecting on a cross from sophomore Zach Hardyman, a Georgetown High School graduate, to give the Patriots their third goal. “I consider today’s victory to be a tremendous win for our program,” said Josh Thoroman, SSCC head coach. “We lost 2-4 to Great Lakes a year ago. To lose your entire starting 11 and return a year later with a new team, start seven freshmen and then win by a 4-1 margin against a four-year school is tremendous.” E.J. Aubry, a Fayetteville graduate, is also on the team.

G’Town playing well, wB improving during league play

Heading into the third round of Southern Hills League play at White Oak Golf Course on Tuesday evening, both the Ripley and Eastern golf teams had one goal. Both teams were hoping to improve their positions after starting league play slow. For Eastern that meant keeping a hold on fifth place, the spot coach Jason Hauke had hoped his team would be able to finish when the season started. On the other hand, for Ripley that meant playing better as a team and moving closer to the third or fourth position, the spots they had hoped to reach when the season began. When things were all said and done on Tuesday, both teams were still within striking distance of their goals. Thanks in large part to strong rounds from Dylan Arnett (43), Justin Cluxton (44) and Ryan Poole (45), the Blue Jays are within striking distance of fourth place Whiteoak. Bryce Hill shot a 50 for the Blue Jays. Ripley shot a 182 as a team compared to Whiteoak’s 189 and closed the distance between the teams after three complete rounds. Whiteoak sat in fourth place after the third round with a three day total of 551 while Ripley is 10 shots be-
The Georgetown golf team was in a pretty good spot heading into the final round of Southern Buckeye Conference-National Division league play on Tuesday evening. The G-Men were just a handful of strokes behind second place Batavia, the spot coach Sheri Griffith had hoped her team could achieve to reach, and were hosting the fourth round of league play at their home course, Buttermilk Falls Golf Course. Thanks to some solid play on their home course on Tuesday, the G-Men jumped into second place overall after four rounds of SBC-N play. Though the G-Men are not quite through league play -they will play in the 18 hole SBC match with the entire league on Saturday at Cedar Trace Golf Course -- they are in good position because of the work they’ve put in. “All of them are improving,” Griffith said. “They’re getting a little better. They’re more comfortable playing.” Playing on their home course, the G-Men shot their best round of the day on Tuesday by far. The team shot a 177 while Williamsburg, who is in the lead after four rounds, shot the next best score, a 191. Griffith hoped having the final round of league play on their home course would help the young G-Men squad. “I think it all depends if the kids feel comfortable enough to play to their po-

hind after shooting a 561. Ripley had hoped for better but a first round team total of 211 put those plans on hold. “We got off to a bad start and dug ourselves a hole,” Scanlan said. “We’re trying for fourth. That’s our main goal.” As for the Warriors, they sat in sixth place after the third round with a three day total of 582. They held a one shot lead over Ripley going into

Tuesday but shot a team total of 204 on their home course. Austin Williams and Lane Lynch led the Warriors as each carded a 46. Grant McIntosh added a 55 and Megan Staggs a 57. Brett Fisher had to withdraw with an injury. “We’re right about where I expect us to be,” Hauke said. The Warriors haven’t played too bad so far during league play. They shot a 207 and a 171 in the first two rounds, respectively. While they sat behind Ripley for fifth place after three rounds, the Warriors are within striking distance as they headed into the final round of league play at Hilltop Golf Course on Sept. 20. “I’m decently impressed with us,” Hauke said. “If we’re able to pull off fifth, I’ll be okay. Really, I’d like to pull out fifth.” West Union’s Bobby Welch led all individuals after the third round with a three day total of 111. Williams was the top local golfer as he shot a 134 the first three days, good for 12th place. Arnett (137), Hill (141), McIntosh (142) and Lynch (143), Cluxton (143) and Poole (143) sat 16-20th after three rounds.

All five Georgetown players put together good rounds at their home course. Trent Poe led the G-Men with a 39.

sluggish Lady Broncos pull out win over Lady G-Men
CMyK
BY Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press After every match or game there is always one team that feels pretty good about what just transpired and one that, no matter how well they played, is a little disappointed. Most times the team that feels good about itself is the winning team and the team that is disappointed is on the other side of the scoreboard. But after the Western Brown volleyball team’s 30 win over Georgetown on Wednesday night, that wasn’t quite the case. It was Lady G-Men coach Donna DeVries who didn’t feel all that bad about her team’s performance while Lady Broncos coach Carla Fite wasn’t quite as pleased. The Lady Broncos won 25-12, 25-22 and 25-20 but Fite didn’t think her team had played as well as it had been playing. “A wins a win but they, definitely, didn’t play their game at all,” Fite said. On the other side, DeVries may have been disappointed in the result but not with the effort her team gave considering the opponent. “I thought we played fairly well considering the players that they have,” DeVries said. “They outnumber us as far as subs. They’re definitely taller than us. I thought they were giving us all the chances in the world, they didn’t serve that well, but we just couldn’t get the momentum. “But I thought we did a good job staying with it.” Leah Leist got the Lady Broncos off to a good start

in the first game when she took the ball with the score tied at one and, thanks in part to four service aces, pushed the Lady Broncos out to a 7-2 lead. The Lady G-Men (4-10) kept the score within reach, down five points, for much of the game until a Kasey York service ace and a Kylie Garrett kill helped push the Lady Broncos (14-2) out to a 19-10 lead en route to the 25-12 first game win. The Lady Broncos got off to a similarly good start
in the second game. With Leist at the serve, Garrett and Becca DeBord each recorded kills to help push the hosts out to a 5-0 lead. But the Lady G-Men quickly closed the gap with Kaelyn Jordan at the serve. Two Lady Bronco errors and a Jesse Kidwell kill cut the lead to 5-4. It would stay close throughout and the Lady G-Men even took the lead at 10-9 when Jordan tapped the ball over the net for a point.
Two Lady G-Men errors and a Garrett service ace gave the Lady Broncos the lead back but it didn’t last long. Two Ally Dowd service aces tied the game at 13 and the Lady G-Men retook the lead when a York kill went out. Mackaela Fischer tied the game at 14 with a kill and the Lady Broncos jumped back out in front on an Abby Hall service ace. The Lady Broncos were able to keep the lead but they could never pull away as they took the second set 25-22. “They were slow. They weren’t talking. They weren’t moving,” Fite said of her team. “They weren’t doing the stuff that they usually do for us to consistently get a pass, set (and) hit.” The Lady G-Men came out strong in the third game and jumped out to the lead. When Morgan Gast tipped the ball over and the Lady Broncos couldn’t return, the Lady G-Men were on top 6-1. The play was one of the many that Gast made on what was a strong night on the court. “I thought Morgan Gast had one of her best games. I thought she played very well at the net getting those short shots and as far as being alert,” DeVries said. “She was very strong. Those girls were trying to block her and she was onehanding it past them.” Shelby Cummins helped the Lady Broncos get back into it when she took the serve down 9-6. Three straight aces tied the game before the Lady G-Men couldn’t return her fourth

serve to give the Lady Broncos a 10-9 lead. Again, the Lady Broncos were able to keep on to their lead despite some struggles. The Lady G-Men just weren’t able to mount any sort of a comeback because they just had a few too many mistakes at the end as the Lady Broncos secured the win with a 25-20 third game victory. “It was some easy stuff,” DeVries said of the errors. “I think that we, kind of, let it go when they were tipping it over us. We were ready for the spike and they were just tipping it over us.”
Meanwhile, Fite was just happy that her team had the determination to pull out the win. “I think they were just determined not to go to that fourth set,” she said. “They were going to do whatever they could to win out. They did.” When the Lady Broncos play again at home on Oct. 2 against Norwood, it will be the Lady Broncos Volley for the Cure/Food Pantry match. They will be hosting a bake sale, selling Volley for the Cure T-shirts and collecting can goods at the match.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 19 bit of a different story. They will be very young this year and are working to turn around the trends of the past few years. “We’re improving,” Kelly said. “The boys are going to be middle to top part of the league if everything goes well. We’ve been last year every year since ‘09.” The Blue Jays young squad includes Aaron Stidham, Joseph Vaughn, Tim Hawkins, Josh Mallott, Chandler Slowey, Christian Wright, Holton Hamilton and Hunter Hamilton. It is a similar story for the Western Brown teams. The Lady Broncos team is low on numbers but does have a little experience. They have four upperclassman on their roster this year including Dominque Hunter, Kelsa Gruber, Lindsey Duncanson and Bri Stacy as well as sophomore Heather Hensley. But their top runner so
far has been freshman Tori Patton. She’s led the team in every race they’ve been in so far. Western Brown coach Jim Neu hopes that the Lady Broncos will be able to fight for the Southern Buckeye ConferenceAmerican Division league title but knows it will be tough. “The hope is to get second. New Richmond looks pretty solid,” Neu said. “Right now it looks like a good battle for second (with Bethel-Tate). I hope we can cut some time off and challenge New Richmond.” New Richmond edged out the Lady Broncos at the Vern Hawkins Invitational. The Lady Broncos came home second. The Broncos look to be in a little better position than their Lady Bronco counterparts simply because they have a little bigger roster. The Broncos have Gage Perkins, Rick Pride, Cory
Kuttler, Gunnar Wallace, Lane Day, Luke Kuttler, Jesse Arn, Owen Hunter and Christian Erdhardt out this year. Neu said Perkins and Pride have been training hard and running the best while Cory Kuttler has been running third. In fact, those three runners helped the Broncos to a second place finish at the Vern Hawkins Invitational. With the bigger roster, Neu is a little more confident in the Broncos chances at league. “If we run well we can compete with (BethelTate),” he said. “It should be a good matchup.” The final two county teams both hope to compete well alongside Ripley at the SHL league meet. Both of the Fayetteville teams figure to be right in the thick of the league meet action. The Lady Rockets return three runners from last year’s squad that advanced to regionals.
Rosselot, Makayla Megan Eyre and Lincoln Smyth return from last year’s squad while the Lady Rockets welcome Peebles transfer Alex Carson and freshman Riley Claytor and Samantha Murphy to the team. The two freshman, Claytor and Murphy, have been the Lady Rocket’s top runners so far this season. Fayetteville coach Jimmy Johnson looks for his team to be in the thick of things as Rosselot and Carson are beginning to catch up to the freshman and Eyre. “We should make a run at the league title again,” Johnson said. “It’ll be between us, Ripley and Manchester.” The Rockets are going to have a little harder hill to climb -- they have to get past a very strong Fairfield group. Making it harder is that three of his runners -- D.J. Iles, Corey Lykins and Austin Fowler -- also play
soccer. Cody Holden and Isaac Shelton round out the Rockets group of five. “I hope we can make a run at the league title,” Johnson said. “Fairfield is pretty strong.” Having to get past that Fairfield squad is same task that the Eastern coach Tom Glasscock knows is going to be hard for his group as well. The Warriors are led by Layne Pickerill and include Dakota Williams, Alex Brewer, Connor Patrick, Colin Graham, Riley Prine and Josh Boudreau. Boudreau is also playing soccer and hasn’t been able to be there all the time. Glasscock has a couple of runners, including the freshman Williams, who are running well but knows it will be a tall task to get past Fairfield at the league meet. “If we can finish second, that’d be a good goal to accomplish,” he said. On the other hand,
Glasscock is still waiting to see what he has with his Lady Warriors squad because of their youth. The team is made up of almost entirely freshman and sophomores including Rebakah Ellis, Makayla Purdy, Shelby Daley, Tiffany Durkin and Marissa Moran. The lone upperclassman is junior Katie Chaney but she also plays soccer. Ellis is the top Lady Warriors runner and is only getting better. As for his hope for the team as the season winds down, he’d like to see Ellis, Purdy and Daley continue to cut time and make the All-League team. “I don’t know where we’ll fall in with the girls in league,” Glasscock said. “I’m putting some high hopes on my No. 1 runner. I’d like to see two to three of the runners All-League. Having two or three AllLeague would be a very, very good thing.”

The Brown County Fair is rapidly approaching and the Georgetown Police Department is actively planning for the influx of people and vehicles into the village. The fair seems to be growing yearly and accordingly the crowds and traffic issues are growing along with it. Chief Forrest “Buddy” Coburn and his officers strive to make the fair experience as safe and pleasant as possible for all those attending and the citizens that live here. Our primary purpose is to keep all the public safe and help whenever possible. We do have to enforce the law, and in doing so occasionally we have to issue tickets or in extreme cases arrest people.
On Monday September 24, the Fair Parade will make its way from the High School to the 4th Street entrance to the Fair Grounds. The Georgetown Police Department will be stationed at various locations for traffic and crowd control. After the parade and each evening during the fair there will be two Georgetown Police Officers at the main entrance for traffic control. With the tremendous amount of vehicles entering the grounds and the regular traffic on State Street there can and will be some traffic back-ups. The Fair Board Members will get the vehicles into either the parking lot or the grounds as quickly as possible, but please keep in mind the sheer volume of vehicles entering this restrictive area is going to cause some congestion. Each year the Fair Board makes im-
provements to the grounds and with the expansion and upgrades to the parking area, we are hoping for an even smoother flow to the traffic. It is always important to obey the traffic laws, but that becomes even more essential the week of the fair. We see an increase of thousands of people and vehicles into town, thus causing visibility, congestion and sudden stops to become issues. With all the sights, sounds, smells and distractions it is imperative to keep as focused as possible on our driving. There will be large amounts of kids running everywhere, and as all kids tend to do, their minds are going to be on getting to the fair. Unfortunately, this can cause them to not pay as close attention to traffic as they should. You should always lock your vehicle and keep
any valuables out of site or in the trunk. Parking is always an issue during the fair, and it should be noted that the Village of Georgetown has increased its fine schedule for these types of tickets. Prior to the 2011 fair the Georgetown Village Council changed the Fine Schedule at the request of Chief Coburn. This brought the schedule more in line with modern fines in other like size municipalities. Chief Coburn said, “Last year during the fair we were very lenient about issuing parking tickets, due to the newness of the increase. This year we will be issuing parking tickets and other traffic citations as necessary”. The Chief encourages people to take advantage of the free shuttle service provided by the Fair Board. The parking/pick-up area’s for the shuttle are the IGA/Pamida parking lot on the east end of town on E. State Street (St. Rt. 125), the Catholic Church
parking lot on E. State St. at Home St. and the Old IGA lot on Home Street and S. Main Street. This gives you a ride right up to the 4th Street Fair Entrance and a ride back to your car. The Shuttles run consistently and are a great way to get to and from the Fair, and it’s legal to park there. The following is a list of the Fine Schedule for Parking Tickets in Georgetown. 1. Parking headed the wrong way-$25.00 2. Parking across a driveway-$25.00 3. Parking across an alley$25.00 4. Parking on the highway$25.00 5. Parking past the posted limit-$25.00 6. Improper parking$25.00 7. Parking where prohibited-$25.00 8. Parking within 10 feet of a Fire Hydrant-$50.00 9. Parking in a Handicapped space-$100.00
10. Parking in a Fire Lane$100.00 11. Any other parking violation listed in Chapter 76 of the Codified Ordinances of the Village of Georgetown for which a separate fine is not specified herein-$25.00 Add to this a Tow Bill to have the vehicle removed, and you are looking at a lot of money you could be spending at the fair. The Georgetown Police Department would love to have a fair where no-one had a problem, no-one was injured, no tickets were issued and no-one went to jail. This is possible, but only with everyone’s help. We hope everyone has a very safe and enjoyable time at the Brown County Fair. The Fair Board and all those involved put on the best fair going. Please be safe and have a great time, Chief Forrest “Buddy” Coburn and the Officers of the Georgetown Police Department.
Rep. Bubp announces reforms to bolster, stabilize retirement systems Representative State Danny Bubp (R-Lake Waynoka) has announced that the Ohio House of Representatives today took a sigstep toward nificant responsible pension reform with the bipartisan passage of a series of legislation aiming to improve the solvency of the five state retirement systems. Senate Bills 340, 341, 342, 343, and 345 make sweeping reforms to the Ohio Police and Fire Pension Fund (OP&F), the School Employees Retirement System (SERS), the State Teachers Retirement System (STRS), the Public Employees Retirement System (PERS), and the State Highway Patrol Retirement System (SHPRS), respectively. These reforms strive to allow the systems to reduce their unfunded liabilities so they can bolster their health care funds, ensure that retirees and future retirees receive their benefits, and offer much-needed stability. “This legislation will bring significant changes to the State Retirement Systems to ensure the sustainability of retirement funds for our retiree,” said Representative Bubp. “My colleagues and I worked hard to ensure that that the changes to the retirement systems would not negatively affect retirees but instead be implemented gradually to ensure contributions to the system were protected.” He also stated that in

DANNY BUBP STATE REPRESENTATIVE
regard to the State Teachers Retirement System Senate Bill 342, “although it was a difficult decision I decided to vote no on the legislation because I did not feel that teacher’s contributions were protected in the bill. Overall, the pension legislation will bring positive changes to our retirement systems and I am proud we finally accomplished this in the 129th General Assembly”. Among the provisions included in the substitute bills are measures to: Set an effective date of January 7, 2013 to give public employees, teachers and safety workers time to plan for their retirement. Delay the “discretionary board authority” by 180 days. The bills, as passed by the Senate, allowed pension boards unilateral authority to change pension requirements and benefits. The substitute bill calls for the bipartisan Ohio Retirement Study Council to study the potential impact of board authority and its alternatives. By delaying discretionary board authority, the House has helped to maintain proper checks and balances and better safeguard
the solvency of the pension system. Increase the base amount of earnable income for service credits, a provision that the House mediated between stakeholders and PERS. Include clarifying language that changes regarding the purchase of PERS service credits for military service. Specify that the vesting provisions do not apply to cost of living adjustments granted after the PERS pension reform bill is effective. Each public pension reform bill received a total of nine hearings by the Retirement and Pensions Subcommittee, and two hearings by the Health and Aging Committee. The committees heard testimony from more than 25 stakeholders from across the state and worked in partnership with the Ohio Retirement Study Council, the pension systems, and the stakeholders to craft significant amendments to the legislation. The subcommittee hearings in particular were scheduled in the afternoon and evening in an effort to give Ohioans the opportunity to express their support or concerns with the pending reforms. All five bills had passed unanimously from the Health and Aging Subcommittee on Retirement and Pensions as well as the full Health and Aging Committee.

The SBA’s disaster declaration includes the following counties: Adams, Allen, Ashland, Ashtabula, Athens, Auglaize, Belmont, Brown, Butler, Carroll, Champaign, Clark, Clermont, Clinton, Columbiana, Coshocton, Crawford, Cuyahoga, Darke, Defiance, Delaware, Erie, Fairfield, Fayette, Franklin, Fulton, Gallia, Geauga, Greene, Guernsey, Hamilton, Hancock, Hardin, Harrison, Henry, Highland Hocking, Holmes, Huron, Jackson, Jefferson, Knox, Lake, Lawrence, Licking, Logan, Lorain, Lucas, Madison, Mahoning, Marion, Medina, Meigs, Mercer, Miami, Monroe, Montgomery, Morgan, Morrow, Muskingum, Noble, Ottawa, Paulding, Perry, Pickaway, Pike, Portage, Preble, Putnam, Richland, Ross, Sandusky, Scioto, Seneca, Shelby, Stark, Summit, Trumbull, Tuscarawas, Union, Van Wert, Vinton, Warren, Washington, Wayne, Williams, Wood and Wyandot; “When the Secretary of Agriculture issues a disaster
declaration to help farmers recover from damages and losses to crops, the Small Business Administration issues a declaration to eligible entities affected by the same disaster,” said Frank Skaggs, director of SBA’s Field Operations Center East in Atlanta. Under this declaration, the SBA’s Economic Injury Disaster Loan program is available to eligible farm-related and nonfarm-related entities that suffered financial losses as a direct result of this disaster.

Progress on SSCC’s plan for new campus With a projected opening for Fall 2014, Southern State Community College is making steady progress on plans for its newest campus along state Route 32 in Mt. Orab. “Our staff has been working extremely hard getting the Brown County campus—the replacement campus for our South Campus—on the drawing board,” said Dr. Kevin Boys, SSCC President, as he addressed the college’s board of trustees during their Sept. 12 meeting. “I thought it would be a good idea for the entire board to look at the progress being made.” In November, Southern State moved forward on plans to expand the college’s services by accepting a donation of land in Adams County and approving a contract to purchase a 63-acre tract of land at the junction of State Route 32 and Brooks Malott Road in Brown County. The college received proposals from 35 architectural firms, and in March selected BHDP Architects, headquartered in Cincinnati and Columbus. “One of the first things we do with a client is get all the stakeholders involved and create a vision statement specific to this project,” said Paul Orban, representing BHDP. “The vision that emerged was to create a distinctive, dynamic, inviting and sustainable learning environment that will enhance Southern State’s position as the first-choice destination for students, faculty, staff and the community. Following the visioning process, the architectural firm conducted focus group meetings with faculty, staff and students. From those collective experiences, BHDP then developed a program of requirements, or an inclusive list of spaces necessary for the new facility. “The program of requirements begins the roadmap for design,” said Orban. “We identified specific needs, including a community room and public spaces, a learning commons and resource center, general multipurpose classrooms, science labs, nursing labs, HVAC tech labs, a bookstore, administration and faculty spaces, as well as building support and maintenance. We arrived at a total of about 50,000 square feet. “So then we started to look at your site and the first thing we do is try to understand everything that’s going on. How do we make sure we enable very flexible growth on this site? During this process, Jim Buck got us

Paul orban, representing BhDP architects, discusses preliminary artistic renderings of the site plan for the college’s new campus in Mt. orab.
engaged with the village. They’ve been very good to work with.” The college has been alongside Mt. Orab Mayor Bruce Lansford, and the village has been instrumental in getting utilities to the site and in securing traffic light approval from the Ohio Department of Transportation. “From the sustainable side, we’re looking at what’s the best orientation on the site, considering the passage of the sun through the day, the wind patterns, and how do we use this to our advantage,” Orban said. To follow through on the sustainability initiative, BHDP Architects will pursue LEED Silver Certification
for the facility from the United States Green Building Council. According to the USGBC, certification provides independent, thirdparty verification that a building was designed and built using “strategies aimed at achieving high performance in key areas of human and environmental health: sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection and indoor environmental quality.” The architects’ site plan for the new Southern State campus included a layout and strategy for the possibility of future growth. “Those are future buildings,” Orban said, directing
the board’s attention to the site plan. “We’ve included an option for green spaces, parking areas, a bio-retention water feature, athletic fields and a wooded area. This is one of probably about six or eight renditions we put together of how this could lay out. One of the things that came out of this discussion is how does this collection of buildings feel like a campus? “We’re very excited about where the plan’s going. It’s come a long way in a very short period of time, but I think it’s because we’re working with the right group of people.” Completion of the initial design phase is expected by late September or early October. The next step will be the design and development phase, leading to a groundbreaking in March 2013. Construction is expected to take 18 months and should be complete for an opening to students for the Fall 2014 semester. The college’s expansion plan also includes an additional campus to be built within Adams County. To learn more about Southern State Community College, please visit www.sscc.edu. The next meeting of the Southern State Community College Board of Trustees is set for 6 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 10, on the college’s Central Campus, 100 Hobart Drive, Hillsboro
