2016 Brown County Fair begins It’s fair time again. The 165th Brown County Fair begins on Monday, Sept. 26. Senior Fair Board Member Dennis Broughton said that he and the board are looking forward to a great fair this year. “We are hoping the weather is a little kinder to us than it was last year,” he said. Broughton said that the theme this year is “A tribute to the Veteran.” “We invite all veterans to please come Thursday evening at six o’clock and let us honor you for your service,” Broughton said. He added that the schedule this year is the traditional schedule that people have come to expect and look forward to. On Monday, the opening parade will move through Georgetown at 5:30 p.m. and the Fair King and

Queen will be crowned at 8:00 p.m. in the Danny Gray Activity Center. On Tuesday, Sawyer Brown will perform at 7:00 p.m, sponsored by the Mt. Orab Auto Mall. On Wednesday, the cheerleading competition will begin at 5:00 p.m. and the Championship Truck and Tractor Pull is at 7:00 p.m. On Thursday, the annual POW-MIA Veteran’s service will be held in the main ring at 6:00 p.m. and the first round of the talent show will be at 7:00 p.m. Showings will continue all day Friday into Saturday with the finals of the talent show set for 6:00 p.m. on Saturday.

The only Fayetteville graduate to die in combat during the Vietnam War was honored on Sept. 16. Petty Officer Charles Crawford was serving as a Hospital Corpsman with the Marine Corps when his unit came under fire on May 29, 1967. “Despite the concentrated fire which made it virtually impossible to reach the wounded who were trapped only a few feet from the main enemy bunker, Petty Officer Crawford immediately ran through the deadly hail of enemy fire to reach his injured comrades. After administering aid to the most seriously wounded Marine, and while moving the casualty to a relatively safe

area, Petty Officer Crawford himself was fatally wounded,” reads an account of the event. Crawford was posthumously awarded the Navy Cross, the nation’s second highest medal for valor during combat, second only to the Medal of Honor. The Marine he died to save survived. On Sept. 16, Veterans of Foreign War members, local elected officials and others gathered at the flagpole outside FayettevillePerry High School to honor Crawford, where a memorial to him was recently placed. Fayetteville-Perry Superintendent Jim Brady said that the school board and local citizen Joe Huber CONTINUED ON PAGE 11

Jacob Brown County Press At its Sept. 15 board meeting, members of the Fayetteville Perry Local School District Board of Education, approved starting up a martial arts program at the middle school. A decision was made to start the program following the fair, after Mr. Ryan Briggs principal of the Middle School spoke briefly about the benefits of bringing the program to his school. “I am here this evening to talk to the board about something a little personal, which led me to the decision to recommend this program. My wife and I found out that our son has ADHD and ODD and we’ve experienced some real challenges,” Principal Briggs told the board. “We’ve taken him to a lot of different doctors and

Public safety planning for the Brown County Fair has been going on for months. Traffic control, access to emergency services, weather monitoring and law enforcement are just some of the issues on the minds of Brown County Emergency Management Coordinator Beth Nevel and other county professionals.

“Last year for the first time, we put a fair safety committee together. We met about seven times with all agencies involved.” Those agencies include the Brown County Fair Board, Ohio Highway Patrol, Ohio Department of Transportation, the Brown County Sheriff’s Office, the Georgetown Police and Fire departments, the Brown County Engineer and Brown County Health CONTINUED ON PAGE 14

Taking A Trip Through Time

the above Brown county Fair photo has been shared by Mabel ellis’ daughter, connie ellis Kilgore of Mt. carmel. Kilgore said, “my mother and Frances were close friends and worked at the fair several years. i believe the pay was $30.00 for the week. the dress she is wearing she wore in the ohio Sesquicentennial (1953) celebration parade in Georgetown, oh. we wore matching dresses and i have them still! Mother was also in the womens Auxiliary to the Brown county hospital. later she went on to become an lPn and worked at highland District hospital in hillsboro. the Brown county Fair was always a special week in her life.” ‘Taking a Trip Through Time’ is a feature of the Brown County Press that is supplied by our readers.

Getting ready for another fair Fall is in the air and officially arrived. But more people than not are probably more focused on spending the week at the 165th Little State Fair that officially arrives on Monday night with the parade. . I marvel at what a “big event” it has prospered to be through the years. I heard the other day that someone estimated there being three hundred campers on site for the week. Wow! And I know for a fact, many of those fair goers take their vacation this week too. Little kidos in 4-H bring their animals to the fair with smiles and laughter then at the end of the week, they give ‘em up at the auction and leave with frowns and sadness and often times tears. But isn’t that a life lesson in itself. I learned a life lesson one year at the fair feeling much like the 4-H kids above. Dave Long, I saw on Facebook decided he would ride the mechanical swings. And posted it had been twenty five years and he would “not for another 25 years.” I had to chuckle. I knew just what he meant. One year, after being “an adult,” I hadn’t ridden the rides at the fair for a very

long time. Did you know the rides came in 1951? Walking around with the kids and my youngest sister Missy, we were challenged, “ Come on, you never ride the rides,” said my children. Of course, kids can inspire a guilt trip like none other and being the cool mom and aunt, I said, “OK, I’ll tell you what, we’ll ride the swings.” I truly loved the swings as a kid. I loved flowing gracefully through the air, lifted high to see the fairgrounds from a different view and always sad when the motor shut off too soon and we came slowly to a stop. I always wanted it to be longer. On this day, in the eighties, sister and I waiting in line, watched an elderly lady struggle to get out of her swing and her kids coming up along side, holding her, practically carrying her out. I admit, we snickered a bit on the sideline then we ran for our swings. I was so excited! Feeling like a kid again.

Soon the motor had us soaring up high, higher and higher at speeds I didn’t remember as a kid. At first the cool morning air blowing in my face was a bit exhilarating and then something changed as the motor RPM’s was running full tilt. It wasn’t as much fun as I remembered as a kids. My face felt plastered against my cranial bones and I was certain the blood had cooled excessively in my veins. I wanted to yell, “Shut this thing off, I ‘ve had enough,” but I didn’t see the man at the motor. He was no where that I could see, but then, I couldn’t move my eyes left or right from the centrifugal force. Was he away for a bathroom break? A hot dog or what? I tried to look over at sister, but I could barely turn my head in her direction. When finally, half a day later, (or so it seemed) he turned the motor off and the ride came slowly to a halt. I stepped on to the earth and found I too could hardly walk away on my own. The blood was congealing in my body, I am sure. Then I had a flash back of the lady I had just previously snickered about. Karma? Oh my. Now

I knew why she had difficulty walking. For the better part of the morning, my mind was a fog and quite frankly, afterwards, sister and I felt very punkie. Well, all I can say is chalk that up to experience. My favorite ride isn’t a favorite anymore. But the Carmel apples and the French fries (though I wish they served them in a cardboard boat so I can douse them with vinegar and ketchup; the cups just don’t work for me) are still my favorites. And always, as a good little girl, I’ll go over to the taffy booth and take some taffy home to Mother, always one of her favorites. Enjoy your week at the fair. There’s something there for everyone to enjoy. And it’s quite a great reunion! Sherry is a regular contributor to the Press. She writes Take Joy!

I’ve been a Democrat all my life. But that doesn’t mean I favor a weak Republican Party. Indeed, just the opposite. Before my Democratic friends drum me out of the party, let me explain why. Our nation is stronger and our representative democracy healthier when we have two strong parties. A single political party that’s able to dominate public policy-making undermines the give-and-take that’s crucial to effective policy and leaves us weaker as a country. Why is this? For starters, none of us, and neither political party, has a monopoly on wisdom. Moreover, the legitimacy of the political system rests on its ability to give voice to the multitude of concerns and attitudes held by the American people. It’s important they all have a political party to turn to. I don’t want to get into the split between backers of Donald Trump and the traditional Republican leadership — that’s for the GOP to sort out. But there’s no doubt that the Republican Party has reached a crossroads. If Trump wins the presidency, he’ll be the chief actor in determining the future of his party and what it stands for. If he loses, the GOP will more than likely move back toward its more traditional views. I suppose I’m showing my biases here, but I believe that a robust Republican Party will strengthen its

willingness to improve and broaden the policy debate and move it away from steps to impede it. This would be a GOP that advocates for limited government, wants to reform our unwieldy tax code, and is determined to remain fiscally responsible so that deficits don’t explode. It would tackle our healthcare system by reforming it using market mechanisms. It would push to devolve power away from Washington, giving states more control over such basic responsibilities as highways, welfare, and education. Each of these issues has been at the center of the national agenda for many years, suggesting their difficulty. We need proposals from both sides that are realistic, coherent, and based on numbers that add up. We need parties that are at the top of their game, generating solutions to the issues we confront and prepared to negotiate to move us beyond our current gridlock. This can best happen when a healthy Republican Party is competing with a healthy Democratic Party. At the moment, that’s not what we’re seeing.

Vote for smart investment moves

The presidential election is little more than a month away. Like all elections, this one has generated considerable interest, and, as a citizen, you may well be following it closely. But as an investor, how much should you be concerned about the outcome? Probably not as much as you might think. Historically, the financial markets have done well – and done poorly – under both Democratic and Republican ad- ministrations. Also, many factors affecting investment performance have little or nothing to do with the occupant of the White House. Consequently, no one can claim, with any certainty, that one candidate is going to be “better for the markets” than another one. Still, this isn’t to say that any given presidential administration will have no effect at all on investors. For example, a president could propose changes to the laws governing investments, and if Congress passes those laws, investors could be affected. But in looking at the broader picture, there’s not much evidence that a particular president is going to affect the overall return of your investment portfolio. As mentioned above, many factors – corporate earnings, interest rates, foreign affairs, even natural disasters – can and will influence the financial markets. But in evaluating a president’s potential effect on your investments, you also need to consider something else: Our political system does not readily accommodate radical restructuring of any kind. So it’s difficult for any president to implement huge policy shifts – and that’s actually good for the financial markets, which, by their nature, dislike uncertainty, chaos and big changes. The bottom line? From your viewpoint as an investor, don’t worry too much about what happens in November. Instead follow these investment strategies: • Stay invested. If you stop investing when the

EDWARD JONES FINANCIAL ADVISOR

NICK GRAY market is down in an effort to cut your losses, you may miss the opportunity to participate in the next rally – and the early stages of a rally are typically when the biggest gains occur. • Diversify. By spreading your dollars among an array of investments, such as stocks, bonds and other investments, you can help reduce the possibility of your portfolio taking a big hit if a market downturn primarily affected just one type of financial asset. Keep in mind though, that diversification can’t guarantee profits or protect against all losses. • Stay within your risk tolerance. Investing always involves risk, but you’ll probably be more successful (and less stressed out) if you don’t

stray beyond your individual risk tolerance. At the same time, if you invest too conservatively, you might not achieve the growth potential you need to reach your goals. So you will need to strike an appropriate balance. • Forget about chasing “hot” stocks. Many socalled “experts” encourage people to invest in today’s “hot” stocks. But by the time you hear about them, these stocks – if they were ever “hot” to begin with – have probably already cooled off. More importantly, they might not have been suitable for your needs, anyway. In any case, there’s really no “short cut” to investment success. Elections – and even presidents – come and go. But when you “vote” for solid investment moves, you can help yourself make progress toward your financial goals.

Is it possible to grow a buckeye tree from a nut?

B R O A D S H E E T

Merchants National Bank is pleased to announce the addition of Geoff Hyde to their staff as a loan originator working out of the Mt. Orab and Georgetown Branch offices. Geoff has 18 years of community bank lending experience in the local Brown County market. “I’m very excited for the opportunity to continue working for a local bank to serve the financial needs of the people in my hometown area. I

think Merchants is a perfect fit for me and I’m looking forward to doing great things with Brian Ernst and the rest of the administrative and support teams,” said Hyde. Hyde graduated from Georgetown High School before earning his Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration from Lincoln Memorial University in Tennessee. He still lives in Georgetown with his wife Heidi and their two children.

in early spring after the ground thaws. (Even then I have to protect my seedlings by placing pots in my fenced-in “rabbit patch”.) Once the seeds have germinated in the spring, begin applying enough water to maintain about one-inch per week. During the first season, lightly fertilize in April and again in June. Young buckeye trees prefer partially shaded conditions. You can transplant your seedling to a sunnier location the first spring after germination. Be sure to do so before it leafs out, and don’t wait more than two years to transplant. Depending on growing conditions, Ohio buckeye trees will begin producing nuts in 5 to 10 years. If you are in a hurry to harvest nuts from your own Ohio buckeye tree, you might consider skipping the seedplanting process and head straight to a local garden center. Fall is a great time to plant a tree. Just be sure it is well watered before our first ground “freeze”. Remember the saying, “A good time to plant a tree was yesterday, the best time is today!” Can it really be time for the Brown County Fair?

CONGRATULATION TO FBC, MT. ORAB On behalf of the congregation of Bible Baptist Church, Mt. Orab, I would like to congratulate Pastor Jonathan Lawler, and the congregation of the First Baptist Church of Mt. Orab on their sixtieth anniversary. Praise God for your faithful service to Jesus Christ over these past six decades. It is a testament to the pastors who have served the church and the memberships' faithfulness to the Lord and to the community over the years. Only Heaven will tell the countless souls that have been effected by the ministry of First Baptist Church. I believe that the church is still God's ordained institution for reaching the world with the good news of the gospel. Jesus said, "...and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." (Matt. 16:18) The Bible says in I Tim. 3:15 that "...the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth." And in Eph. 5:25 it says that, "...Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;" We should love what Jesus loves!!

REV. TED R. HOUSE BIBLE BAPTIST CHURCH MT. ORAB www.bbcmtorab.com Amen! The future is bright for the Village of Mount Orab. It is exciting to see the continued growth of our area. As the village continues to prosper, we need strong, vibrant, Gospel-preaching churches like First Baptist Church. On a personal note I would like to express my gratitude to Pastor Lawler for our friendship. My prayer is that God will richly bless you, your family and your congregation as you serve our Lord and Saviour in the years to come. May God increase the First Baptist Church of Mt Orab. (I Cor. 3:5 & 6) God giveth the increase.

A recent question submitted to the OSUE Brown County Master Gardener’s Helpline was, “Can I plant a Buckeye nut and grow a tree?” The client then shared that there had been several unsuccessful attempts in the past and simply wondered if he was leaving out any important steps. After a little research, I found some information on the Ohio Department of Natural Resources website about Buckeye trees. Author Laura Jones’ Natural and cultural history facts about the Ohio buckeye include: It’s one of six species of buckeye trees that grow in North America Two buckeye species are native to our state: the Ohio and the yellow Its botanical name is Aesculus glabra Some people believe carrying around a buckeye seed in the pocket wards off rheumatism The Buckeye name became a synonym for Ohioans during the 1840 presidential campaign of native son William Henry Harrison. The old general’s campaign symbol was a log cabin built from buckeye timber and decorated with strings of buckeye nuts. He won, and today is honored as one of seven “Buckeyes”

elected President of the United States. The Ohio buckeye tree became our state symbol in 1953, during the 150th anniversary of statehood. You can grow your very own Ohio buckeye tree from the “eye of the buck” itself! Only recently fallen nuts are viable for planting. Because it can be difficult knowing how recently a buckeye seed has fallen to the ground, experts with the Ohio Division of Forestry, suggest soaking your recently collected buckeyes in water for two to four hours before planting. Seeds should be planted in loose, well-worked soil about 6 inches apart, and at a depth twice the diameter of the seed. It won’t hurt to plant more buckeyes than you want, since only half are likely to germinate. To help hold the soil in place, put 2 to 3 inches of mulch, straw or well-rotted sawdust over the planting. Check the soil once a week, adding just enough water to keep it moist. If there are squirrels in the neighborhood, they’ll likely dig up the seeds. It is always a race at my house to see who can scoop up the buckeyes first! To discourage their scavenging, place a screen mesh over the planted seeds before covering them with mulch. Remove the screen and mulch

Members of the “All About Community” Outreach program are excited about the success of their first “Harvestfest” celebration held Saturday, Sept. 17 at the Mt. Orab Village Park. The All About Community group operates through the Mt. Orab Church of Christ’s outreach program. “We were all very happy with the great turnout we had at our first Harvestfest event,” said Pam Roe, member of the group. “The weather held out for most of the day, but cut things a little short. But until then, everyone had a lot of fun. “During the event we had a cornhole tournament, four bounce houses and an obstacle course, which were all free to participants.” Roe said over 30 local vendors were set up at the event as well as Hungry Brother Food Truck, Poor Boys Food Truck and Kona Ice. “We had a lot of carnival games for the kids and raf-

fles for the adults,” Roe said. “We truly appreciate the Mt. Orab Kroger, Skyline, Taco Bell, Gold Star Chilli, the Country Inn, Chick Fila, Advanced Auto, Larosas, Food Court in Mt. Orab, Cowaburger and McDonalds for all their support. All these businesses made this day possible.

“We had a great DJ running things from Spin 360 Entertainment. They played all day. We also heard performances from the Mt. Orab Church of Christ Worship Band. 64 to Grayson headlined, closing out the evening.” Roe said the Fayetteville girls 7 and 8 grade basketball team helped out with

the bounce houses and the games while the Western Brown wrestling team held a bake sale. Members of the wrestling team also

dressed up like super heros and ran the cornhole tournament. “We’re already making plans and looking forward

to next year’s event,” Roe said.

Bible Baptist Big Beef Barbecue BY Wayne Gates

Bible Baptist Church held its annual Big Beef Barbecue on Sunday, Sept. 18, feeding over 1000 people. “It’s a way for us to reach out to the community and offer an opportunity for fellowship for the entire family,” said Pastor Ted House. “We’ve been doing this for 34 years. The kids and adults enjoy it very much.” Southern gospel artists Jeff and Sheri Easter performed at three morning

services, and then the meal was served. “I was very pleased to have all the folks come and enjoy the day. The weather was beautiful. And it’s a joy to be able to help feed over 1000 people,” House said. "We start planning for this event nine months in advance, and it takes over two hundred people working together to make it happen.” House said the best part for him was watching people relax and enjoy themselves.

“Seeing the families enjoying the event and the church experience and forming positive memories together was very enjoyable.” House added that he is looking forward to the 35th annual event next September. “We are hoping for bigger and better next year. We are excited to be part of the community here. It’s a great place to live and I’m glad the church is part of it. I want people to feel welcome to come at anytime to any event we have.”

ODOT projects underway

A resurfacing project is scheduled to begin on U.S. 52, with crews paving the route from Hanover Street in Ripley to the western corporation limit of Aberdeen. Construction also includes repairs to the approaches of the overpass (U.S. 62) to the William Harsha Bridge. Throughout the project, traffic will be maintained in one lane with the use of flaggers, and all work is anticipated to be completed in midfall. Preliminary work is under way on S.R. 32 for an emergency culvert replacement project. During construction, the route will be reduced to one lane in each direction between the Brown-Clermont County line and C.R. 101 (Eastwood Road), near Mt. Orab. The project is anticipated to be completed by mid-November. C.R. 50 (Bethlehem Road) is closed for a bridge replacement project. The project site is located between C.R. 14A (DecaturEckmansville Road) and T.R. 223 (Rickey Road), and while the route is closed, motorists will be detoured via T.R. 223

(Rickey Road), T.R. 61 (Hughes Road) and C.R. 14A (Decatur-Eckmansville Road). The project is scheduled to be completed in early fall. U.S. 50 is reduced to one lane between the Clermont and the Highland County lines for a resurfacing project. The project also includes rehabilitating bridges located between T.R. 100 (Woodard Road) and T.R. 80462 (River Reach Road) and between C.R. 12 (Fayetteville-Blanchester Road) and the corporation limit of Fayetteville. Throughout construction, traffic will be maintained in one lane with the use of flaggers, and the project is expected to be completed in early fall. A culvert rehabilitation project is under way on U.S. 68, and crews will be installing a culvert liner at the route’s 40.91-mile marker, immediately north of T.R. 581 (Ohio Street) at the southern corporation limit of Fayetteville. As most work will be conducted off the roadway, there should be little to no impact to motorists throughout construction.

It’s a Library story time event like no other. Join the staff of the Brown County Public Library, September 27 - 29, at the Brown County Fair for a Library Lollapalooza. The children’s programmers are joined by a cast of library associates to bring the love and laughter of books to the children in an exciting variety show that is sure to entertain children. This extreme story time event will take place in the

Rhonemus Hall at 1:00 on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Take a short break from the midway entertainment and enjoy some extraordinary, out of the ordinary, hilarious storytelling, as only the talented children’s team of the Brown County Public Libraries can deliver. For more information about this event, contact the Brown County Public Library at (937) 444-1414.

Story time at the fair

U.S. 52 is reduced to one, 12-foot lane between C.R. 307 (Old A&P Road) and T.R. 255 (Pisgah Hill Road) for a slide repair project. Throughout construction, traffic will be maintained with temporary signals, and all work is anticipated to be completed in early October. A resurfacing project is under way on S.R. 125, from the Brown-Clermont County line to the 6.4-mile marker between T.R. 402 (Gillette Station Road) and C.R. 18 (Eden Road). The project also includes paving a small section of S.R. 125 immediately east of C.R. 15 (George Miller Road). Throughout construction, traffic will be maintained in one lane with the use of flaggers and/or temporary signals, and the project is scheduled to be completed in mid-summer.

Girl Scout Bake Sale

The Girl Scouts of Brown County will be holding a bake sale on Tuesday, September 27th. It will be held at Rhonemus Hall, the building behind the grandstands, from 5:00 to 7:00 pm during the Brown County Fair. These items are the entries from the Girl Scout fair baking competition held earlier that day. All money will be split between the girls that entered items and the Junior Fair program for the Girl Scout Department to fund their fair trophies and incentiveals. Please take a moment to come out and support the Girl Scouts of Brown County.

Training tips for your dog

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

Excessive barking-learning to "speak" Sometimes, the best route to teaching a noisy dog to be quiet is to teach him to bark on command. This may sound like you're "covering" for your dog's bad habit, but don't worry, you're not. What you are doing is gaining control over your dog's behavior. By inserting yourself into his activity (barking), you are winning rights to manipulate it. Begin giving the command "Speak" in situations that stimulate your dog to bark. If he barks when the doorbell rings for example, say "Speak" the moment you hear the bell. (Persuade a friend to come over and ring the bell if you don't want to sit around waiting for an unannounced visitor.) Use a yummy treat along with physical petting to reward him if he barks when you give the command. The food should get your dog extra excited and make him want to bark. Give the command "Speak!" and hold the treat out in front of him. When he barks, give the treat to him. As he begins to bark readily at your command, praise him with words and physical petting and begin to give the treat only occasionally. This prevents him from getting bored with this "game." He'll always wonder if this will be one of the magical times he hits the jackpot and gets food as well as the wonderful reward of petting. Excessive barking-Barking on command Once your dog begins barking on command, you can teach him to speak for a cookie, speak to go outside-whatever you want. To reinforce him, give him what he "asked" for. Now you have a problem dog that does a trick. This is definite progress! Your dog has begun to focus his barking on you and to do it at your command. He enjoys barking and now he can do it in a certain way (which means at your command) and receive a reward for it. Now that you've gained some control over when he begins barking, you can start to control when he stops. The next step is to teach him the command, "Enough." Enough! The command "Enough!" tells your dog that what he was doing was okay but now you want him to quit. Dogs are supposed to bark, right? That's what they do. When someone comes to your door, you want him to let you know there is someone outside. But you don't want to hear about it for ten minutes straight! When he barks, praise him for being such a smart watchdog but after a set number of barks (you can decide how many woofs are acceptable), tell him "Enough!" If he stops, shower him with love. If he does not stop after you give him the command, let him know you are displeased. For some dogs, this means a leash correction (it might be best to set him up for this behavior by letting him trail a leash around the home while you work on this behavior). For other dogs, a squirt with a plant mister will get his attention. For still others, a shake of an empty soda can with five pennies in it will let him know how you feel. After getting your dog's attention, immediately place him on a SIT STAY. This gets his attention and most dogs will not bark while sitting. Chain collars--right for your dog? Many dog owners use chain collars to control their dogs. A tug and release on the chain collar causes the chain to momentarily tighten around a dog's neck. This lets him know you are displeased with his behavior. For some dogs, chain collars are stronger than what's needed, for others something more effective is needed. It is up to you to match the method you use to correct your dog to your dog's temperament. What works with one dog, might not work with another. If you do use a chain collar, make sure you are putting it on your dog correctly. Chain collars--putting one on correctly When laid out straight, a chain collar has numerous

DAN MEAKIN CREATURE FEATURE

links and two larger rings on either end. To make a collar, pass several links through one of the rings and pull the chain through until you have a circle. The "live" ring will be the ring you attach your leash to. When you pull on the leash, the chain should tighten. A chain collar will not do its job if it is put on incorrectly. Most dog owners who do obedience walk with their dog on the owner's left side. With this in mind, the chain collar should go over the dog's head shaped like the letter "P." When kneeling with the dog in front of you, shape the chain collar into the letter "P. This means instead of making the collar into one big circle, it has a "stem" or "tail". (There are really only two ways you can put the collar over his head, shaped like a "P" or like a backwards "P".) Once the chain collar is on, the live ring--the ring you will attach the leash to and the ring that moves-should pass over the back of his neck. If you have the chain collar on INCORRECTLY, the live ring will be coming up from underneath his neck. If this is true, remove the collar and start again. Chain collars--the importance of being loose What a lot of people don't understand about giving a proper leash correction (a tug-and-release) is that the collar has to be loose in order to give an effective correction. If your dog is pulling on his leash (and therefore his chain collar), the collar will not be loose around his neck. One easy way to note whether he's pulling or not (in addition to the fact that your arm hurts!) is that the two end rings on the chain collar will not be touching each other. Take the chain collar and put it over your left wrist and imagine your wrist is a dog's neck. Arrange the collar in the biggest circle possible and be sure that the two end rings are touching each other. If the collar looks like this on your dog, congratulations, he isn't pulling! Chain collars--tug and release basics Once you are assured that your dog is wearing his chain collar correctly, you will be able to give him tugand-release corrections. The whole point of a tugand-release correction is that you will momentarily make your dog uncomfortable by tightening the collar around his neck and then RELEASING it immediately. The release, not the tug, is the most important part of a tug-and-release correction! What you are saying with a tug-and-release correction is "There! I don't like that behavior right there! But here! I DO like this behavior!" If your dog pulls on his leash when you walk him, for example, you need to give him a tug-and-release

correction that says, "I don't like you pulling but there, just for a second, you stopped pulling (because I gave you this correction) and I DID like that behavior." Shake hands (give your paw) "Shake hands" is a fun trick to teach your dog--and just about every dog can learn it in a short amount of time. There are many methods for teaching this "golden oldie." The following method seems to be the easiest and quickest for most dogs and their owners. Be sure to use a special yummy treat you've set aside just for teaching tricks. Have the dog sit facing you. Show him you have a treat by holding it above his nose with your left hand. Give the command, "Shake hands!" (or "Gimme five," "Give your paw," or whatever you like). At the same time, hold your right hand out in front of his left leg. If he gives you his paw, give him the treat and tell him what a genius he is. If he doesn't give you his paw, reach out and shake "hands" with him. Then give him the treat. Repeat a number of times and try again the next day. Always give the command, wait a few seconds for him to process what it is you want, then make the action happen if he does not. Continue to give him a treat even if you have to lift his paw for him; however, wait a little bit longer before lifting his paw after the command. Hopefully, he'll be so eager to get the treat, he'll get frustrated with how slow you are (!) and do it himself. Note: When learning this trick, many dogs become distracted by your lifting of their paw. They have trouble sitting when you are kneeling in front of them or even bent over them to practice this trick. That is why the treat held above their nose comes in handy. They can still observe what is happening with the paw, while paying attention to just where that treat is going to end up. Chain collars--when he won't stop pulling We established in our last tip that the chain collar needs to be loose around the dog's neck in order for you to give an effective correction. But if your dog is pulling on lead (as most dogs do), you'll find his collar won't be loose and, therefore, you will be unable to give an effective correction. Here's what to do: If you are walking your dog and you realize he is pulling on his leash, step forward very quickly. This will momentarily loosen the collar. Now that you have some slack in the collar, quickly give a tug and release. If your dog turns to look at you, tell him good dog! If he doesn't react and continues to pull, try a harder tug on the leash. Always start with the softest correction and work your way up to stronger ones.

Substance abuse resource center to open in Clermont County BY Amy Foley Ex. Director The HOPE Community Center

Do you or a loved one need help with an addiction? Do you or a loved one need recovery support or assistance in navigating through the various treatment resources in and around our county? Are you new in your recovery and feel that you would benefit from some ongoing recovery support? There's a collaborative effort among local grass root groups to help with the growing and overwhelming Heroin Epidemic in our county. The Hope Center in Amelia will be opening on Friday, September 16, 2016 as a community resource center to assist individuals and their family members who seek recovery from the disease of addiction. In the beginning the Hope Center will be open from 10:00-12:00 on Fridays on a limited basis and will increase hours and days based on the demand. The Hope Center will be staffed with a group of dedicated volunteers from some of the various local grass root groups who have in one way or another been impacted by the disease of addiction. These volunteers serve

in one or more of the following recovery assistance groups, SOLACE Clermont County, Smart Recovery, Brave Choices and LightShine Addiction Recovery Services. We will have Outreach Specialists and Certified Peer Recovery Support Specialists onsite also. Our goals are twofold, to assist those who desire to go into treatment by educating them as to the various treatment opportunities available to them, and to serve as a recovery support person to those who are early in their recovery with the goal of connecting them to the various agencies and resources available to them. The bottom line is that we want to meet the person where they're at in their recovery and to help them move forward thus alleviating some of the unnecessary stress that early recovery can bring. It is important to note that all who seek support and treatment resources will be counseled in a confidential manner without fear of legal ramifications. We do not claim to offer any professional advice, all resources and information provided by our volunteers are on a strictly non-professional basis. We are simply concerned

citizens and families who also have been impacted by this horrible epidemic. The Hope Center is located at 4 Cecila Dr. Amelia, Ohio. Walk ins are welcome and appointments along with more information can be obtained from calling Mark (Smart Recovery) @ 513-4053167 and/or Claudia (LightShine Addiction Services) @ 513-5127007. There are "no fees" for our services however donations are appreciated to help with our operating costs and to benefit those in need. Donations can be made to "The Hope Center" and should be earmarked for "Community Resource Center." We are also seeking to increase our volunteer base so if anyone is interested please call the phone numbers listed above for further details. We must come together as a community to fight this horrible, horrible epidemic that has permeated our community and destroying our families. We believe that if we can help one person to recover then they too will lend a hand to another to recover. This is how we fight this epidemic. The solution lies in us and in our community!

Uecker to serve on Drug Prevention Education group

State Senator Joe Uecker has joined Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine and state legislative leaders in the formation of the Ohio Joint Study Committee on Drug Use Prevention Education. The committee will examine the status of drug use prevention education in Ohio schools and develop plans aimed at implementing age-appropriate drug education in schools across all grade levels. “This is another step in our continued efforts to combat Ohio’s opiate addiction epidemic,” said Uecker. “By strengthening our prevention efforts in Ohio’s classrooms, we can help to ensure that our children are equipped to make responsible choices rather than addressing the problem through the criminal justice system and addiction services.” Senator Uecker is the Chairman of the Senate Finance Subcommittee on Corrections and began his career in public service as a police officer, a position he held for 15 years. "Ohio is facing the worst drug epidemic that I've seen in my lifetime. We need to change how we think about and talk about drugs, and we need to start this culture change with Ohio's children," said Attorney General DeWine. "Through the work of this committee, we hope to identify strategies that schools can use to provide comprehensive, age-appropriate drug use prevention education across all grade levels to help prevent future addiction." The committee will hold at least four meetings across the state to

began working together on the memorial about a year and a half ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The statue is a young boy with a flag folded, looking down at an individual who lost his life serving others,â&#x20AC;? Brady said. State Rep. Doug Green and State Senator Joe Uecker also attended the event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A memorial like this is what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very proud of Fayetteville High School for doing this, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m proud to be a part of it today,â&#x20AC;? said Uecker. Green said it was appropriate to remember Crawfords deeds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This gentleman was a forgotten hero until today, yet we as a community have said that we will not forget. We will always re-

member those who served and those who have given the ultimate sacrifice,â&#x20AC;? Green said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m always moved when Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m involved in a ceremony like this today because I am so grateful for my freedoms.â&#x20AC;? Brady, who served in the Marine Corps, said the ceremony had a special meaning for him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a former Marine for twenty years, I can tell you that there is a strong bond between Marines and Navy Corpsmen. This event today brought home and reinforced that relationship.â&#x20AC;? The project was funded completely by donations. Huber, Jay Holden, Ken mcCarty, The Wells Group and Knights of Columbus, Fr. Sourd Council 2423 were recognized for their help during the event.

that need extra help), out of 608 schools, 526 schools got an F. Only 2 in the state of Ohio, got an A. What does that say about the assessment?” Brady added that only 22 schools in the state met all the indicators and only 2 schools met the performance index. He also pointed out that some of the schools had per pupil expenditures of $21,165 while Fayetteville-Perry receives only $9,364 per pupil. He said that there is no way that those figures don’t have an effect and advantage on the tests. Superintendent Brady also told the board that he had received a call from Ohio University regarding 3,000 pounds of coal that they wanted and needed to get rid of. The board discussed the issue at length since one of the schools in the district still operates with a coal burning furnace. Later in the meeting the board approved a quote of $73 per ton for delivery of the coal which is a savings of $52 a ton for the district. The board also approved the following items: • Approved American Fidelity for administrative services for the Affordable Care Act. They will provide employee tracking and employee reporting services at an annual fee of $995; • Accepted a $200 dona-

tion from the Knights of Columbus Fr. Sourd Council 2423 for the Veteran’s Memorial in front of the school; • Accepted $10 from Ken McCarty for the Veteran’s Memorial; • Approved Miah Call as volunteer high school golf coach; • Accepted the resignation of Cara Schaefer as Title I reading aide • Approved having a freshman basketball program and a volunteer coach, provided there are enough participants; • Approved a contract with TMI to retrofit the district LED lighting as a cost of $20,238, which will allow the district to take full advantage of the current Duke Energy rebate program; • Approved the FFA trip to the National Convention in Indianapolis, Indiana; • Approved bus routes for the 2016-2017 school year; • Approved the revised school calendar; • Approved a board resolution where the board of education shall not provide career-technical education to students enrolled in grades seven and eight for the 2016-2017 school year.

count,” Nevel said. For example, a mass casualty trailer that can treat up to 100 people at once will be placed at the fairgrounds, but placed in the back out of view of the public. “This is all out of sight, out of mind. And that’s how we want it to be,” said Nevel. “The only thing we want the public to worry about is enjoying themselves at the fair.” Nevel said that there is one way that the public can help when it comes to public safety at the fair. “If you see something out of the ordinary, say something,” Nevel said. “It’s very helpful to us when the public is our eyes and ears.”

Jays rally for win over Rockets Ripley boys soccer team climbs to 6-1-3 After trailing 3-1 in the first half of play, the RipleyUnion-Lewis-Huntington Blue Jays rallied back to claim a 4-3 victory over the visiting Fayetteville-Perry Rockets on Tuesday, Sept. 20 at Blue Jay Stadium. The Southern Hills Athletic Conference contest between the Jays and the Rockets actually began earlier in the season with the Rockets jumping to a 3-1 lead in the first half of play just before the game was postponed due to lightning. The first goal of the game came from Fayetteville's Zak Smyth to give the Rockets an early 1-0 lead, but shortly after it was Ripley's Montrez McGill firing for a goal to tie the game at one apiece. Two Ripley penalties would lead to two goals by Fayetteville's Evan Kirchner to lift the Rockets to a 31 lead just before the lightning delay. When returning to Blue Jay Stadium on Tuesday, the Jays managed to hold the Rockets scoreless for

the remainder of the first half and the entire second half while Ripley's Dalton Moran scored one goal and Tristan Finn came through with two goals to put the Jays on top 4-3. “Starting in the hole they showed a lot of heart and desire to get it back,” Poe said following the Jays' win over Fayetteville. “We kind of fell off a little bit in the second half, but we pulled off the win and that's what counts. We were the team that was more ready to play at the beginning of the game this time. The Last time we were goofing off in warm-ups and weren't ready to go, and the scoreboard showed it. This time I thought we were more prepared, knowing we had to dig ourselves out of a hole.” Ripley's defense in recent weeks has been quite impressive, led by sophomore goalkeeper Jaki Royal, senior sweeper Laymon Marshall, sophomore defender/midfielder Joseph Blum, sophomore midfielder Corey Germann,junior defender Josiah Staggs, junior defender/midfielder Noah Rowley, and senior

defender Scottie Ott. When the season began, Poe's goal for this year's Jays was to finish better than .500 in the wins/losses column but this year's Jays are exceeding preseason expectations with no league losses so far on the season, and at the midway point in the season it's clear that a Southern Hills Athletic Conference title isn't out of reach for the determined Ripley squad. “At the beginning of the year I was trying to boost confidence, telling them that they can win every game and win the league. At this point with the way they're playing I see that winning the league is a definite reality,” said Poe. “I'm very pleased with the way they've been playing.” The Jays entered Tuesday's league bout against the Rockets coming off a heated non-league game against Reading held Sept. 17 in Ripley. The Jays entered Saturday's game with hopes of remaining unbeaten on the season with five wins, no CONTINUED ON PAGE 20

SB Warriors win Keg Bowl

Staff report The Brown County Press The Southern Buckeye Warriors captured the program’s first ever varsity win by topping the North Adams Green Devils 39-6 on Sept. 16, winning the first annual Keg Bowl and spoiling homecoming night for the Devils at Freedom Field in West Union. “All around, the whole effort was outstanding. You could see their confidence grow on every play,” SB Warriors' head coach Chris Tomlin said following “We had a hard week of practice, and after the win the boys knew their hard work had paid off.” The Warrior offense was unsuccessful on their first drive of the night with North Adams grabbling an interception, but a sturdy defense by the Southern

Buckeye squad would force a turnover on downs for the Green Devils. Following the valiant stand by the Warrior defensive team, the Warrior offense was quickly on the move. Southern Buckeye's senior running back Kyle Burbage took a carry for a big gain to start off the drive, and the Warriors quickly made their way into North Adams' territory with a completed pass from freshman quarterback Keegan Collins to wide receiver Mason Gardner. Collins then hit wide receiver Alex Bolington with a bullet pass to move the Warriors 13 yards closer to pay dirt at the North Adams' 27-yard line. But that's where the Warrior offense would stall on their second drive of the night, as Collins was sacked for a big loss to put the Warriors back at the North Adams' 40-yard line with third down coming up and 20 yards to go. The Green

Devil defense would hold the Warrior offense to a turnover on downs, taking over possession at their own 35-yard line. The Green Devils marched to the Warriors' 25-yard line behind some gutsy running by Collin Hesler, but it was another exceptional defensive stand by the Warriors that hold the Devils to fourth down with three yards to go. A tackle by Burbage would cut down the Devils shy of the first down marker, and the Warrior offense returned to the field to start their next drive of the game at their own 25-yard line. The Warrior offense started off strong as they did in the previous drive with Collins completing a pass to Bolington for a 39-yard gain to move them near the Green Devils' 35-yard line. A seven-yard carry by Burbage moved the Warriors to the North Adams' CONTINUED ON PAGE 21

Broncos gallop to 9-0-1 with win over G-Men Page 20 - The Brown County Press - Sunday, September 25, 2016

BY Wade Linville The Brown County Press The Western Brown Broncos upped their overall record to 9-0-1, remaining unbeaten on the season with a 4-0 victory over the Georgetown G-Men on Tuesday, Sept. 20. The win over Georgetown marked the third straight shutout for Western Brown goalkeeper Sam Linkous and his eighth

shutout so far this season as he continues to set the bar higher as the school record holder for single-season shutouts. Also playing huge roles on the defensive end for the Broncos this season have been senior Gabe O'Hara and sophomore Wesley O'Hara. On the offensive end, the Broncos have been led by Austin Schweitzer, who has recorded a total of 10 goals.

The Broncos remained on top in Southern Buckeye Athletic/Academic Conference American Division standings at 5-0 with a 3-0 win over Amelia on Sept. 6, on the right track to claim the first ever league title in Western Brown High School boys' soccer history. The Broncos were scheduled to host Goshen for a league game on Sept. 22, and they are back on their home field Sept. 27 for a league contest against Norwood.

Tight battle continues for SBAAC American Division volleyball title Lady Broncos rise to 9-6 overall record BY Wade Linville The Brown County Press A tight battle continues for this year's Southern Buckeye Athletic/Academic Conference American Division volleyball title with the Western Brown Lady Broncos in second in league standings with a 4-1 record and the New Richmond Lady Lions unbeaten in league play at 5-0. The only league loss of the season for the Lady Broncos was to New Richmond on Sept. 8, as Western Brown fell in a match that

lasted five sets (25-20, 1925, 15-25, 25-20, 15-11). The Lady Broncos returned to the court on Sept. 13 to claim a league victory over the visiting Amelia Lady Barons (25-18, 25-22, 25-13) to up their league mark to 4-1. The Lady Broncos have faced some tough nonleague competition since their league win over Amelia, falling to McNicholas (25-22, 25-20, 2512) on Sept. 15 and defeating Clinton Massie (25-16, 25-18, 25-14) on Sept. 19.

Junior Tessa Pinkerton leads Lady Bronco attackers this season with 157 kills and has also ranked among the top Lady Broncos at the service line with 46 aces. Western Brown junior Mary Sizer had recorded a total of 228 digs this season, while teammate Emily Cooper had racked up a total of 392 assists as of Sept. 20. The Lady Broncos were scheduled to take on Wilmington in a road match on Sept. 21, and they are back on their home court Oct. 4 to host Norwood for an SBAAC American Division contest.

losses, and three ties, but in what was one of the most exciting non-league battles of the season, it was Reading coming away with a narrow 3-2 victory to pin the Jays with their first loss of the season. In what was a gutsy effort by the Jays, they could exit the field while holding their heads high knowing that being able to compete toeto-toe with a talented team like Reading goes to show just what this year's RULH varsity boys soccer squad is capable of. “For the most part I'm pleased,” Poe said following the game against Reading. “They (Reading players) were very good tactically. I think we showed that we have the heart and desire to play. After seeing this game I think we can compete with anyone.” Saturday's game also brought with it a tournament-like atmosphere, which certainly helps the Jays prepare for post-season play. “I think this game definitely helped us prepare for tournament time. The teams we see in the tournament will be just as good tacti-

cally if not better than this. So, if nothing else, it gives us a chance to see it and learn how to defend it,” said Poe. It took around eight seconds for the Reading team to score its first goal of the night, a header goal off an excellent assist to leave the Jays facing an early 1-0 deficit. But the determined Ripley team didn't let the Reading goal get them down. With 31:20 remaining in the first half it was senior Dalton Moran firing for the Jays first goal of the night to knot the game at one apiece. The Jays had the opportunity to take the lead with a penalty shot from inside the box near the midway point in the first half, but it was an impressive save by the Reading goalkeeper Nate Stidham that prevented the shot by Marshall from reach the net. Defenses on both ends of the field prevailed in the final 20 minutes of the first half with some excellent saves by Ripley's sophomore goalie Jaki Royal. With one half in the books, the game was tied at one apiece. Just 33 seconds into the second half, Reading broke the knot with a quick goal to

take a 2-1 lead and frustrations started to set in on the Jays. A fight between players broke out with 26:33 to go with fans hollering from outside the gate. One adult fan made their way through the gate and headed toward the scene of the fight, but a quick response by the RULH athletic staff and the game officials would prevent the situation from escalating any further. After a short break to allow the players' tempers to cool down, play resumed. With the clock closing in on the midway point of the second half, the Jays would tie the game at two as Moran launches a throw-in that hit off a Reading player and found its way into the goal. Good positioning by Ripley sophomore Tristan Finn on the throw-in by Moran played a role in the Ripley goal. The Jays continued to fire away on the offensive end. With 13:15 left on the clock, a shot by Finn on a solo attack missed just wide of its mark. Just over a minute later, a hard shot by Morgan was saved by the Reading goalie. On the other end of the field, Jaki Royal grabbed save after save while Marshall worked to clear Reading attacks to keep the game knotted at two. A penalty on the Reading goalie would lead to another penalty shot for the Jays with 2:38 to play. Moran took the penalty shot from outside the box, a hard shot that was saved by Stidham. Following the Stidham save, Reading scored on their next attack to take a 32 lead with the clock closing in on the two-minute mark. The Jays stood at an overall record of 5-1-3 after Saturday's loss to Reading. The Jays were scheduled to be back in action at Blue Jay Stadium on Tuesday, Sept. 20, playing host to the Fayetteville-Perry Rockets to continue a game in which the Jays trailed 3-1.

Eric Altman has been among the Broncos' top performers on the defensive end so far this season. The Broncos were in search of their second win of the season as they returned home to face Campbell County at Kibler Stadium/LaRosa's Field on Friday, Sept. 23. The Fayetteville-Perry Rockets suffered a heart breaking 18-14 loss at Williamsburg in week four on the gridiron. Neither team did much offensively throughout the contest. Fayetteville ran five straight rushing plays to start the game, which resulted in back-to-back punts. Williamsburg's offense wasn't much better, as injuries have taken their toll on the Wildcats. They scored a combined 83 points in their first two games this season, but have mustered just 21 in the two since. They would strike first against the Rockets, as Cameron Hart would connect on a 29-yard field goal with 5:35 left in the first quarter. The lead would last for exactly one quarter. Fayetteville's Chase Jester broke several Williamsburg tackles on an 80-yard sprint to the end zone. The Rockets extra point was blocked, giving them a 6-3 lead at the 5:47 mark of the second quarter. Fayetteville would have another chance to score thanks to a second long run from Jester, but the Williamsburg defense forced a turnover on downs, giving the Wildcats the ball at the three. They fumbled the snap, and it appeared Fayetteville had recovered the ball in the end zone. After a brief discussion, the referees awarded the Rockets a safety, giving them an 8-3 lead. That score held through halftime and until the Rockets returned the opening kick of the third quarter all the way to the Williamsburg 25. Three plays later, Jester was in for his second touchdown of the day. The twopoint conversion failed, and Fayetteville led 14-3 with 10:29 left in the third quarter. Williamsburg answered, marching down the field and scoring on a six-yard touchdown pass from Nate Bogan to Andrew Smith, cutting the Rocket lead to 14-9. The Wildcats failed on the initial two-point conversion attempt, but a pass interference penalty gave them a second chance, and Bogan converted to make it 14-11 Fayetteville with 9:11 left in the third quarter. The teams traded turnovers and punts for most of the third and fourth quarter, until Williamsburg took over on downs at their own 35 with 2:09 remaining and no time outs. A double-pass and a roughing the passer call on Fayetteville put the Wildcats at the Fayetteville 25 with 1:44 remaining. Three plays later, Bogan scored on a six-yard run to put Williamsburg ahead 18-14 after Hart's extra point. Fayetteville took over at the Williamsburg 48 with 46.2 seconds remaining. Clock management and timely receptions moved them to the Williamsburg 14, where they had two shots at the end zone. The first pass by Luke Wiederhold was incomplete and the second was intercepted by Adam Donohoo as time expired. Fayetteville head coach Kevin Finch said the Rockets played as well as they could, and said there were a few things his team did that he liked. “Our kids played their hearts out,” Finch said. “It was back and forth. I feel for our kids, they really laid it out on this field. We had a couple breaks not go our way, but that's football. Other than that, I thought we did some things very well. We moved the ball, controlled the clock. Those are the things we like to do.” Williamsburg held the ball for just over 13 minutes of the 48-minute contest. In that time they gained a total

of 274 yards, 186 of which came through the air. Head coach Scott Lefker said the team is dealing with injuries at key spots on the offensive line, which could be hindering the team's offense. Williamsburg had scored 83 combined points in the first two weeks of the season. The Wildcats have totaled 21 in the two weeks since. Finch said the team made a few changes to their schemes defensively, but the team's week of practice had the greatest impact on their success on defense. “We just tried to switch up a couple different coverages and fronts,” Finch said. “The players had a great week of practice. It was the best week of practice I've seen since coming to Fayetteville. Every day, they had good reps and the people going against them were challenging them and pushing each other and I think that helped. Even the people that weren't on the first team were pushing and giving better reps. It was a team effort, from the first senior all the way down to the last freshman.” Meanwhile, the Rockets themselves were in the midst of a solid run offensively, having put up at least 30 points in back-to-back games. Lefker said the team prepared to defend the run while acknowledging the squad faced a size disadvantage. Wiederhold finished the game having completed four of eight passes for 23 yards and an interception. Bogan completed 11 of 23 attempts for 142 yards and a touchdown. He also was intercepted once. Smith completed four passes in four attempts for 44 yards for the Wildcats. On the ground, Jester tallied a monster 218 yards on 29 carries and a pair of scores. Austin Brockman carried the ball 20 times for 58 yards for Fayetteville. Bogan led the Wildcats with 18 carries for 79 yards and a touchdown. Smith also collected six receptions for 118 yards and a score. Nate Fisher and Skylar Minton had sacks for the Rockets defensively. Finch said the team would have to rely on each other to move past the loss. “I couldn't be more proud of their effort,” Finch said. “They break every one of our huddles this year with family, and they'll need to rely on each other as a family today because I know it hurts. To put in that much effort and heart you hate to see a team lose like that. We have great kids with strong character, and they never quit. I couldn't be more proud of them.” The victory puts the Wildcats at 3-1 on the season, despite the rash of injuries. Lefker said the team has gotten used to winning games, and that feeling is what helps them push through tough contests. The Rockets were scheduled to host Hillcrest at 7 p.m. on Friday, Sept 23. Williamsburg will battle Minford at 7 p.m. at Osborne Field in Williamsburg.

Experience the beauty of Fall color in Ohio For many Ohioans, autumn represents pumpkincarving, the harvest season, Halloween campouts and corn mazes. Spotting the first glimpse of fall color – seeing the leaves changing to strong reds, vivid yellows and bold oranges – is also a favorite fall activity. The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR), in partnership with TourismOhio, will help people find the best locations to view the changing colors throughout the fall color season. “Autumn is a great time to explore the outdoors and experience everything Ohio has to offer,” said ODNR Director James Zehringer. “Fall color in Ohio is something the entire family can enjoy together. We want to encourage everyone to get outside and experience the fun events and natural beauty that take place each October all across our great state.” Forecasting fall color is not always easy as foresters must take into account several variables, such as sunlight, temperature, wind and rainfall when calculating the brilliance and longevity of Ohio’s autumn color. ODNR Fall Color Forester Casey Burdick does expect a great fall color season that may appear in two phases. First, some trees will be changing in late September, especially in urban locations or low lying areas where trees could be reacting to the stress caused by the hot dry summer. The rest of the state may experience a delayed fall color season, as much as a week in some areas, before peak color is on display. This early forecast means that peak in northern Ohio will be the middle of October, central Ohio the end of the third week of October and southern Ohio peaking in late October. The current forecast, along with informative videos, are available at fallcolor.ohiodnr.gov.

28-yard line. From there, an offsides penalty on the Devil defense moved the Warriors five yards closer to pay dirt at the 23-yard line with just under a minute remaining in the first quarter. A 10-yard penalty moved the Warriors back to the North Adams 33-yard line with first down and 20 yards to go. After Collins carried for a short gain and a dropped pass brought up third and 15 to go, the Warriors were able to finish off the drive with a 31yard touchdown pass from Collins to Gardner. A successful kick for the extra point by Matthew Brown put the Warriors on top 7-0 with less than 10 seconds to go in the first period. The Green Devil offensive responded by capping off a 50-yard drive with a touchdown carry by Collin Hesler to cut the Warrior lead to 70-6 with 9:38 to go in the second quarter. The Devils were unsuccessful on their two-point conversion attempt that followed the touchdown. That would be the only time the Devils managed to reach the end zone in Friday's contest, and the Warriors continued to improve as the game rolled along until they were completely dominating the gridiron on both sides of the ball with linebacker Kade Houston, defensive end Preston Meranda, and linebacker Tony Brown among the several players to put together outstanding performances on defense; while on the offensive end it was Collins throwing for more than 250 yards and Gardner racking up more than 100 yards receiving with two touchdown receptions. Gardner would lead Warrior receivers in the game on a night where he got the opportunity to take the field as a starting receiver, taking over the position of a starting receiver who was unable to attend the game due to another obligation. Also performing well on the offensive end for the Warriors were rushers Dylan Lainhart and Trevor Stamper. After the Southern Buckeye defense forced a fumble that gave them possession at the North Adams' 34-yard line, carries by Stamper and Lainhart led to the Warriors to their second touchdown of the night. It was Stamper capping off the short Warrior drive, powering in a touchdown to help his team rise to a 13-6 lead. An unsuccessful kick for the extra point would follow. Coming off a 13-6 lead at halftime, the Warriors dominated the second half, outscoring the Devils 26-0 in the final two quarters. A 56-yard touchdown reception by Gardner upped the Warrior lead to 19-6 with 7:44 to go in the third quarter. After a 36-yard reception by Gardner to move the

Warriors to the North Adams' seven-yard line, it was Lainhart muscling his way for a seven-yard touchdown to leave the Devils trailing 25-6 with just under three minutes to go in the third quarter. Lightning in the area would cause a delay in the action with under a minute to go in the third period, but when play resumed it was the Warriors sealing the deal by tacking on two more touchdowns. “The offensive line was the difference (from the loss Middletown Christian the week before). The lineman were maintaining their blocks better and our quarterback had twice the amount of time to pass. I'm very proud of the effort by our offensive linemen,” said Tomlin. Among the Warrior linemen stepping up big for the Keg Bowl were Troy Stamper, Jansen McCord, and Shawn Keeny. Bolington also aided in the Warrior win with some fine receptions as a tight end. “They really brought it together,” Tomlin said of his team's win. The Warriors' defensive players of the game were Houston and Brown, while earning recognition as their offensive players of the game were Collins and Gardner. The Warriors were scheduled to take on the West Union Dragons, who pinned them with a 30 point loss in the season opener at home, on Sept. 23 at Freedom Field. The Warriors will be on the road at Freedom Field for their rematch against the Dragons, and Tomlin is expecting his Warriors to display a great deal of improvement since their loss in week one. “I look for our boys to play a lot better this time,” said Tomlin, who is hoping his Warriors are able to even up their season record to 22. The Western Brown Broncos dropped to an overall record of 1-3 with a 52-27 loss to Jackson in week four on the gridiron, Sept. 16. It was a game that saw the Broncos tied with Jackson at 21 after the first two quarters of play and Western Brown trailed by only four points (31-27) after the third quarter, but it was a big ending by the homestanding Ironmen that would lead to the Broncos' third loss of the season. Jackson outscored the Broncos 21-0 in the fourth quarter to seal the victory. Offensively, the Broncos managed to rack up 364 passing yards, 341 of those coming from junior quarterback Seth Becker who threw for three touchdowns. Becker also had two interceptions. Western Brown junior Wyatt Fischer pulled down two touchdown receptions, taking six passes for 202 receiving yards in the week four loss. Western Brown junior Carson Eyre hauled in six receptions for 64 receiving yards, while teammate Jacob Daniel pulled down three catches for 49 receiving yards and one touchdown.

Where are your cows this time of year? For the biggest part of 2016 we have had plenty of moisture and the forage situation has been beyond good. In the past few weeks that has changed some. We have had some light rains for the most part, while a few areas have had flash flooding on occasion. Even the light showers help some on forages, but most of the 3 counties could use an allday soaker for some continued growth of forages. So with this later than normal dry period in the Ohio Valley in 2016, where are your cows or other livestock? Are they out on pasture? Pastures, like most lawns, continued to grow right through June, July and August. People were mowing lawns every 4 or 5 days right through the hottest and driest time of most years. Not until the end of August or into September did grass growth slow down. With this slow down, rotation of grazing animals has changed, too. This time of the year there is often little time for significant regrowth on most of our forages. So what are your cows doing to the forages where they are now? Most everyone I talk to has plenty of hay in a bale. Most have said they have way more than normal. We have no idea what the next 6 months might bring weather wise. By the middle of March we should have a pretty good idea about how much hay we had to feed to get through the winter, but right now we do not know. So what do we know now? We know we have more hay than normal and we

have grass that has pretty much stopped growing due to a lack of rainfall, not temperatures. We also know we could have good growing conditions, if it rains, for another 2, 3 or even 4 or 5 weeks. We also know that those cows are not doing some of our forages any favors by eating them into the ground. So if you have pasture ground that is getting over grazed, or other fields that have some regrowth at this stage of the growing season, should we graze it the last 2 weeks of September? Remember plants grow in part due to photosynthesis and that requires leaves and blades to take in the sun. Fields that are permitted to continue to grow for the next few weeks, without being grazed into the ground, will produce more forage than fields that continue to be grazed. This is true for the next few weeks or even months. Stockpiling forages at this point can pay dividends in November and into December. The other advantage is while that photosynthesis is taking place, the roots are building up reserves that will help them survive the winter and produce more forage next spring. So, how can we allow these pastures to grow? Where do I put the cows now? Remember all of that hay? This is not a terrible time to feed some of it. Not only are you allow-

ing growing forages to produce more total pounds of forage in the long run, but you are also feeding some of that hay during a time where you will most likely see much less waste at the feeder or ring. Dry conditions with little to no muddy conditions will see nearly all of the hay consumed by the animals. After all it is time consuming, and not cheap, to make hay. We might as well get as much feed out of a bale as we can, and let the grass recover a bit at the same time. Lookout for Weeds While Harvesting Harvest has started in the Tri-County area. Silage and tobacco have been going on for a while, but soybeans and corn are just about get into the swing of it. I have talked about the problem weeds off and on this summer, in pesticide re-certifications last winter and other times in this article or on the radio. Regardless of how much it is talked about, we can’t do enough to stop the spread of some of these problem weeds that have resistance to many of our herbicides. If you have clusters of weeds in your fields you may want to do a little additional scouting. See what is there in those areas to compete with the problem weeds and try to identify the weeds. The last thing anyone would want to do is run through a bunch of weeds that could spread like crazy over the next several acres. You would be better off skipping an area with mature weeds with seeds, especially if it would happen to be a weed like Palmer Amaranth.

History and Architecture Remembered- Magnificent 1893 building was constructed of 6 courses of brick, fir floors and spectacular stained glass, by the Order of the Odd Fellows to house their fellowship hall. Thousands upon thousands of square feet in this sprawling 2 and 3 story complex that has hosted multiple stores, the K of C, and a mortuary. It was maintained in later years as a full line furniture store until it was closed some years ago. It has been many things and benefited so many people and organizations over the years and is truly a symbol of the times of workmanship and craftsmanship. And now it needs our help, to be rescued from demise. As with any building that has set a couple of years without attention the signs of disrepair are starting to show but someone with the imagination of use, and the heart of a preservationist could bring this monument of the past back to her prime. Let us show you the wonderful attributes, ride the working, still licensed 1918 hand pulled freight elevator to the third floor where the rug display racks that were moved there after the trend of carpet became a standard. Come visit the village where Uncle Tomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cabin was set and where a half generation after the Civil War a group of inspired citizens constructed this one of a kind building. Priced at $119,000..... The local family that has owned it for over a century says to present an offer.
