Sunday, September 5, 2010

School District report cards issued The Ohio Department of Education has released its annual “Report Card” for every school district and building in the state for the 2009-2010 school year.

The scores a district receives are based on information including student test scores, attendance and graduation rates and year to year improvement.

Districts are then given an overall designation from “Academic Emergency” at the bottom to “Excellent with Distinction” at the top.

Between those in ascending order from the bottom are “Academic Watch”, “Continuous Improvement”, “Effective” and “Excellent”.

Eastern The Eastern Local School District received the best overall scores in the county for 2009-2010 and earned and “Effective” rating.

Of the 26 state test score standards for grades 3-11, plus attendance and graduation rates, Eastern met 22 of them.

The four measures that fell short were Fifth Grade Reading, Math and Science and Eighth Grade Science.

The Science scores for both grades narrowly missed the standard of 75 percent, both scoring 74.8 percent.

The Performance Index for the district, which is a formula that evaluates combined test scores for all grades, was 98.6 out of a possible 120.

Eastern also met the state goal for Adequate Yearly Progress toward improvement, and exceeded the state Value Added Measure.

Adequate Yearly Progress is an improvement benchmark set by the state that districts strive for each year.

The Value Added Measure tracks student progress in

grades four through eight in Reading and Math from year to year.

For example, the same students scores from fourth grade last year and fifth grade this year are compared to see if improvement is made.

Eastern also had the highest graduation rate in the county at 97.9 percent.

Regarding individual buildings, Russellville Elementary School was rated “Excellent”, Sardinia Elementary School and Eastern Middle School were both rated “Effective”, and Eastern High School received and “Excellent” rating.

Grade Math and Reading and Tenth Grade Science all fell short.

The Performance Index for the district was 96.1 and the Adequate Yearly Progress was not met.

Fayetteville scored above the state standard in the Value-Added Measure and had the highest Attendance Rate in the county.

Fayetteville Elementary and Fayetteville High School both received “Effective” ratings and Fayetteville Middle School achieved the highest rating possible “Excellent with Distinction.”

District Superintendent Allan Simmons said he is pleased with the results.

“One of the things we look at is how we compare to similar districts statewide. When you look at that data, we are doing pretty well.”

Simmons said he and his staff plan to look carefully at the data “to see where we’re strong and to look at areas where we need to improve.”

Fayetteville The Fayetteville-Perry School District also met 22 of the 26 state standards and earned an “Excellent” rating from the state.

Airport to get 500K in renovations

Georgetown is one of the five school districts in the county that will share approximately 2.3 Million Dollars from the U.S. Department of Education.

Schools to get over two million dollars

BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press Over two point three million dollars in federal funds are on the way to Brown County Schools.

The Education Jobs Fund was passed last month by congress, setting aside $10 Billion dollars nationally to be sent to school districts to preserve job.

Ohio’s share of that comes to just over $361 Million dollars.

The estimated payments to Brown County schools are $273,000 to Georgetown, $280,000 to Fayetteville, $378,000 to Ripley, $387,000 to Eastern and one million dollars to Western Brown.

Those numbers are not final, because the state must submit a formal application to the United States Education

Department by Sept. 9.

Once the application is approved, the DOE is expected to release the money within two weeks to the Ohio Department of Education.

The ODE says on its website that the department will release 75 percent of the estimated funds “as soon as possible” and the other 25 percent is expected to be released in November.

The ODE is holding the remaining funds “to account for significant changes in funding, such as community schools that will open or close between now and the end of October.”

Ohio Department of Education Superintendent of Public Instruction Deborah Delisle released a statement that said “Funding from the Ed Jobs program will enable CONTINUED ON PAGE 11

Castle, Billie Eitel, Hugh Hall, Robert Hutchison and President Jason Phillips – were named as plaintiffs in a complaint in mandamus civil lawsuit filed Aug. 26 in Brown County Common Pleas Court.

That lawsuit was signed by Aberdeen Village Solicitor Tresa Gossett.

The defendants included Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner and the Brown County Board of Elections members: Chairman Bill Herdman, Paul Hall, Dallas Hurt, and Ralph Quallen.

In an Aug. 31 telephone interview, Brown County Common Pleas Court Judge Scott Gusweiler said the mandamus being sought by the plaintiffs was a request for him to order an official(s) – Brunner and the BCBE members – to perform a duty they were legally obligated to perform but were not performing.

Gusweiler said the defendants were not legally obligated to perform the function – keeping the water sale issue off the Nov. 2 ballot – the CONTINUED ON PAGE 12

Over half a million dollars worth of improvements are coming to the Brown County Airport from the Federal Aviation Administration.

The funding will be used to expand the airport apron, rehabilitate runway lighting, and remove obstructions in an effort to improve traffic flow at the airport.

Brown County Board of Commissioners Margery Paeltz said the FAA provides counties with airports about $150,000 a year.

Paeltz explained that the total of $560,000 is coming from two years worth of grants to Brown County from

the FAA, $150,000 that Lawrence County asked the FAA to give to Brown County and $100,000 from Highland County.

Paeltz said that officials in and Brown Highland Counties have agreed that Brown County will furnish $100,000 in FAA funds to Highland County in the future in exchange for the $100,000 that Highland County is furnishing now.

The money from Lawrence County will not have to be paid back in the future. Paeltz said that if Lawrence County had not given it to Brown County, it would have been returned to the FAA to be redistributed elsewhere.

Annual Ohio Tobacco Festival successful again

BY Wayne Boblitt The Brown County Press The 29th Annual Ohio Tobacco Festival was a success Aug. 26-29 in Ripley with approximately 15,000 to 20,000 in attendance, OTF Committee President Greg Applegate reported.

He said this year's attendance was about the same as last year's, but added a new event for the 2010 OTF, an Aug. 27 Fireworks Show, drew a decent crowd its first year in downtown Ripley.

Melanie Day, the 2009 OTF Queen, crowned her successor, Kaylin Mason, a Ripley-Union-LewisHuntington High School senior from Aberdeen, as the 2010 OTF Queen at the Queen Contest held Aug. 26 in downtown Ripley. Also at the Queen Contest, Haley Wright and Lauren Heath, both of Aberdeen, were named the 2010 OTF Queen Contest First Runner-Up and Second Runner-Up, respec-

tively. Wright and Heath participated with Mason in some festival events during the weekend.

Farmers Were Celebrated This year's OTF theme was “Celebrating The Tobacco Farmers”. The festival began in 1982 as a way to celebrate Ripley's distinction at that time as the site of the only burley tobacco market in Ohio.

While Ripley no longer has that market, burley tobacco is still a major crop grown in Brown County with that county having the largest burley tobacco production among the 20 or so Ohio counties that produce that crop.

Some floats in the popular Opening Parade celebrated that crop and its producers on Aug. 27. That procession departed RULH Elementary School on South Second Street (U.S. 52-62-68) and proceeded northward toward downtown Ripley.

Prep sports coverage is in full swing in the Brown County Press Western Brown volleyball players Becca Debord (in red) and Danika Ratliff go up against each other in practice.

Sports begins on Page 16.

Five Ohio Division of Wildlife employees appeared in Brown County Common Pleas Court on Sept. 2, asking that the charges against them be dismissed.

Felony Obstruction of Justice charges were filed last April against the five by Brown County Prosecuting Attorney Jessica Little.

They are Division of Wildlife Chief David Graham, Assistant Chief Randy Miller, Law E n f o r c e m e n t Administrator James Lehman, Human resources Administrator Michelle Ward-Tackett, and Division of Wildlife District Five Supervisor Todd Haines.

During the hearing before Common Please

Court Judge Scott Gusweiler, employees of the Ohio Inspector General’s Office testified about their investigative procedures and policies.

It is the contention of the five defendants that the facts that resulted in the criminal charges against them stem from the administrative IG investigation.

They further contend that they were essentially forced to cooperate with the IG investigation and incriminated themselves because they were afraid that they would lose their jobs if they didn’t fully cooperate.

That would violate the so-called “Garrity” protection, a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that says employees cannot be threatened by non-law enforcement investigators CONTINUED ON PAGE 11

Cheyenne lived with her grandmother Stella Ward and her two older brothers broke out some time around 11 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 26. The communications describe neighbors’ efforts to help Stella Ward off the roof after she climbed out a window.

When firefighters arrived on the scene the home was fully engulfed. They were told Cheyenne was still in the building and rushed in to retrieve her from her bedroom. By the time they got to her she was unresponsive and was rushed by Williamsburg EMS to the Clermont Northeastern campus when AirCare responders pronounced her dead at the scene.

Stella Ward was taken by AirCare to University Hospital where she remains in serious condition as of Wednesday.

Jackson Township Fire Chief Bill Wiederhold said Stella Ward is expected to recover and her injuries are no longer life threatening. Cheyenne’s brothers were not home at the time of the fire.

A total of six local fire departments responded to the blaze. Jackson Township fire fighters were assisted by the Stonelick Township, Central Fayetteville, Joint, Williamsburg, and Wayne Township fire departments.

Spokesman for the State Fire Marshall Shane Cartmill said the fire has been ruled an accident. He said the house ignited due to an electrical malfunction in the electric panel on the rear

of the home. He also said smoke detectors were present but were not functioning.

Wiederhold said initial damage estimates are at $100,000 for the home and $50,000 for the contents.

“In the biggest part of the home it was a total loss and they lost all of their belongings,” Wiederhold said.

CNE elementary school principal Glenda Greene said Cheyenne Ward was a very good student and was well liked by her classmates.

“She was a sweet little girl,” Greene said. “You would never be able to tell if she had a bad day because she always had a smile on her face. She was never in trouble and she was always kind to others.”

Greene said the district made grief counselors available to the students and under the circumstances the first day of school on Tuesday went well.

Wiederhold said the loss has not only been hard on the Ward family and Cheyenne’s classmates, it has also effected the firefighters who made every effort to rescue her. He said Cheyenne Ward’s death was the first death in a fire in Jackson Township since 1998.

“Counseling has been offered to those involved,” Widerhold said.

Greene said the community will plan a memorial service for Cheyenne after Stella Ward is released from the hospital and recovers.

Brown-251 slated for pavement overlay operations starts Operations for a two-lane resurfacing project are set to begin next week on state Route 251 in Brown County, according to Ohio Department of Transportation District 9 Deputy Director James Brushart.

“Resurfacing projects are necessary to preserve the integrity of a given route, as well as for the safety of the traveling public, so we appreciate motorists’ patience while construction is under way and when crews are at work,” said Brushart.

Beginning the week of August 30, crews from the Shelly Company were to have begun paving operations on

state Route 251 between state Route 123 and the BrownClinton County line.

Throughout construction, traffic will be maintained in one lane with the use of flaggers.

The Shelly Company of Thornville, Ohio, was awarded a contract for approximately $442,847 to complete the project, and the scheduled completion date for all work is Oct. 31, 2010.

For information on additional lane and road closures caused by construction, accidents, flooding or other related traffic events visit Buckeye Traffic on ODOTs web site at www.buckeyetraffic.org

Quality schools are only half the battle

Dealing with the high cost of substance abuse Growing up in a small rural area there are some things that are common. Some of the things are good, some are not, and some will break your heart. Sadly, the one that breaks my heart year after year is rampant drug use among people I have known, currently know, and that I love.

Personally, I never understood drug use or addiction. I didn’t have that problem in my immediate family nor did I ever experience it myself. I was naïve to any drug terms or signs there might be abuse among my friends. A few years ago, my very best friend of over 20 years was the first one to truly break my heart.

She stole money and items from my house and my parents house. When confronted she lied to me. She denied she had done anything wrong.

She swore she could never do

JENI WHITAKER, COLUMINIST that to me. I looked her in the eye, and I knew she was lying. I cut her out of my life, which if you knew us; it was like cutting my own arm off.

It took a year for us to talk, and she explained some things to me. She explained addiction and how it makes you do crazy things…things you never thought that you would do especially to the ones you love most of all. She wanted to get better and not do drugs, but wasn’t sure how. She says she currently is on the path of recovery, and is clean. I had to dig deep within, but I forgave her. I understand it was the drugs.

However, her and I will never have the same friendship that we once did. The drugs ruined that.

Recently, someone I had known since I was 5 years old passed away. It was most likely from drug use. This man had a great family, good friends, and beautiful children, but yet the drugs were able to take control. Just 4 days before he passed away, I had a conversation with him at a football game. He was so proud that his son was playing and we talked about how we would see each other every week at football. He spoke about his children with pride and love. He did not want to die, but he made the mistake that many people do. They don’t think anything bad will happen. They’re living in the moment, for the need or the fix or the fun. Unfortunately, sometimes that’s one time too

many. His memorial was heartbreaking. Watching his oldest child cry is something that haunts me. I wish that upon no one.

The reason I write this now is in hopes that it will serve as a wake up call for those that do use drugs. Surely, life is more beautiful than a few moments of some high. Every single person has something worth living for. Next time you want to use drugs, picture your child, parent, spouse, sibling, friend or whoever sitting at your funeral or your court hearing. Imagine the pain they would feel. Imagine the guilt that they have because didn’t or couldn’t stop you. Imagine what you would miss. Then really think if it’s worth it. This is not intended to preach or be selfrighteous. It is meant to inspire you to stop, and I hope it does.

Letters to the Editor

The Ohio Department of Education has released its annual “report card” for all the school districts in the state.

A detailed list of how Brown County schools were graded is on the front page of this edition of the newspaper.

Each district can find something in the reports to be proud of and some areas that need improvement.

For example, Math seems to be giving Brown County students the most problems of any subject, and four of the five districts had issues with Fifth Grade scores.

Out of 32 state benchmarks missed by the school districts, 15 of them involved Math test scores.

Georgetown Fifth Graders passed all three benchmarks for their age group. What is that district doing to be effective with that group that the others may not be? Those are the types of questions the data helps us ask.

Of course school districts can only do so much in the effort to educate our children.

Parents also have a vital role to play in the education process.

Teachers I have talked to over the years all tell me the same thing...the home environment will make or break the educational process for a

WAYNE GATES, EDITOR student.

It’s hard to teach a child that is tired because they may have been allowed to stay up too late or is hungry because they are not on a consistent morning routine that includes breakfast.

Teachers tell me there are parents that show up for every parent-teacher conference and other parents who they never hear from all year.

Which of these parents children do you think does better in school?

As a parent myself, I’ve heard a tall tale about homework a time or two.

You’d be amazed at how fast that stops when the children realize that their parents and teacher will communicate and compare notes.

So if you are heavily involved in the education of your child, pat yourself on the back.

If not, do the kids a favor and get more involved.

It will pay off for you, them and the community.

What Do You Think?

“What do you like most about the Ohio Tobacco Festival?”

Why did Eastern say “No” to the Race to the Top? Dear Editor, There are many grants each year for which school districts choose to apply and some grants that school districts choose not to apply. In 2009 the Eastern District applied for and was awarded a competitive 21st Century Community Learning Center Grant that resulted in Eastern receiving $850,000 between 2009 and 2013. Not all school districts in the county or state submitted applications for this grant. These funds can and will be used to provide students with Warrior PRIDE, our after school academic and enrichment programming and the funds support teachers with professional development that focuses on academic achievement for all students.

Last spring, when Eastern decided not to apply for the Race to the Top(RttT) funding there was discussion and research regarding the requirements of the grant and the needs of the district.

Because of our 21st Century Warrior PRIDE grant, the limited staff and time resources, and the Memorandum of Understanding that outlined the district responsibilities it was determined that Eastern’s needs and the goals of the RttT program were not aligned. For example, the grant requires teachers and principals to participate in a significant amount of professional development that focuses on increasing graduation rate and implementing formative assessment and value added measures above and beyond the 4-8 math and reading that is currently funded by the Ohio Department of Education.

Professional development is an important factor of improving teacher quality, however, the time, money, and out of class time that would be required of Eastern did not make sense at the current time when we have made personnel cuts that have challenged our staff to do more with less.

The Brown County PRESS

Additionally, our district’s graduation rate is 97.9%, tops in the county and 14.3% above the state average. Our value added measure has been at or above the state indicator for the 4 years that it has been calculated, for 2009-2010 we were above the goal. The RttT program would have also required the Eastern district and the ELEA union to develop new evaluation procedures and all the evaluation procedures would require additional teacher and administrative time; time that would be taken from students.

Overall, the Eastern District is always striving for excellence. We want our students to have the best education possible and we want them to achieve and reach for the stars! Our teachers are well aware that new standards are being developed and will soon be implemented. We are ready for new standards. Our teachers are equipped with the necessary resources to adjust and revise courses of studies to reflect the new standards that will be released in the spring. Our teachers have and will continue to participate in

professional development.

Our current 21st Community Learning Center Grant that provides after school educational programming and the Learn and Serve Grant, that provides funding for service learning projects in the community, allow us to fund professional development on an as needed basis that is targeted to specific teacher needs.

Every year and every day we work to get better and find new ways to help our students.

These efforts are reflected in the fact that Eastern was tops in the county in 14 of the 26 state indicators and second in the county in 5 areas. In comparison to the state, Eastern is above the state average in 23 of the 26 indicators. Wow! Are we satisfied? No, we are striving for Excellence. Our school report card rates Eastern as an Effective district, as always, we will continue to go for the gold to help our kids be the best they can be.

Southern Hills students involved in car crash

BY Wayne Boblitt The Brown County Press Two cars driven by Southern Hills Career and Technical Center students collided Aug. 27 in a Scott Township crash.

Trooper Ray Ellis with the Ohio State Highway Patrol Post in Georgetown reported the accident happened at 2:40 p.m. that Friday on Hamer Road south of Delhi-Arnheim Road.

Ellis identified the drivers as being Corey Reed, 16, of Hillsboro, and Keshia

McRoberts, 16, of Sardinia.

He said they had left SHCTC just before the crash.

The trooper reported both motorists were northbound on Hamer Road. McRoberts reportedly attempted to pass a vehicle in front of her 1997 Honda Accord.

Ellis said Reed attempted to pass McRoberts' vehicle at the same time in his 2007 Ford Explorer, and the two cars ended up making contact in the southbound lane of Hamer Road, causing both to slide off the left side of Hamer Road into a ditch.

The trooper said McRoberts' car overturned, struck a tree and landed on its top. He also reported Reed's car hit two trees before coming to a stop upright.

Ellis said McRoberts and Reed were transported by Georgetown Life Squad to Brown County General Hospital in Georgetown, where they were treated and released that same day.

He said eight other SHCTC students were in the cars as passengers, and while he didn't have specific information about those eight in a Sept. 1

In 2007, Kami gave birth to a little girl named, Ashlyn, but she was prematurely born and did not survive. Then in 2010, they once again had a little boy named Liam. He too was born prematurely. Liam was in the hospital ICU with expectations that he would survive, but due to his under developed lungs, he too passed away.

graduate of Eastern Local High School who was active in FFA and 4-H. He received a bachelor's degree in University Studies from Morehead State University in Morehead, Ky., in 2008.

He said he helps with his family dairy operation and owns his own dairy herd. He also raises about 200 acres of soybeans, bails hay, and has an Angus cow-calf operation.

Mrs. Bolender, the former Aubrey Earhart, grew up in Clark Township and is a 2003 graduate of Western Brown High School who also was active in FFA and 4-H. She received a bachelor's degree in Middle School education from Wilmington College in 2007 and was hired this year as a Georgetown Elementary School Intervention specialist serving grades 4-6.

While teaching takes up much of his wife's time and while Mrs. Bolender said she hopes to be a teacher for a long time, Mr. Bolender said his wife essentially does the same work as he does except on a smaller basis because she has less time due to her teaching career.

“She helps me in the summer when she's out of school and she takes care of (the farm's) bookkeeping after school,” he said.

Mrs. Bolender said things get busy on the farm about the time she finishes teaching for a school year and if her husband gets really busy with his planting duties “and needs an extra hand”, she will take some days allowed off work to help him.

Mr. Bolender looks to the future by mentioning he would like to expand his soybean acreage and to grow his Angus cow-calf operation.

He said he just really enjoys farm work after spending many years on a family farm. He said he likes the satisfaction of being able to see things accomplished after working at them.

Mrs. Bolender, who also grew up on a farm, said farming is an occupation a person can feel good about and added, “It's honest work.”

They both said they were surprised to be named the OFBF Young Farm Couple of The Year in late August and

Something To Think about TOM MEGIE DIRECTOR

TRUE FRIENDS DON’T QUIT It is a fact, sad but true, that friends of the bereaved will sometimes stop calling or break off the relationship. Why is this?

Probably because the bereaved reminds the friends of their own death, because being with the bereaved is too gloomy, or because the friends are worried about knowing what to say, or how to behave, or whether to mention “it”. Often, in fact, it turns out that a particular friend may have stopped calling not out of dislike or disloyalty but simply because he was embarrassed at his own inability to handle a difficult situation.

This is unfortunate. A friend who is uncomfortable should realize that a slick speech is not what is called for. Often, in fact, what the bereaved person really needs may be presence alone, without words. It is a show of support, of

caring. You should also be available should the bereaved want to share painful feelings and emotions.

Marty W. Howser II 2-11-83 to 9-9-2000 It’s been 10 years. I can’t believe it’s been a decade since that horrible night you were taken away. As bad as I want you here, I know you’re in a better place. The selfish part of me wants my son back, but I know your at peace, son. No pain, no tears, no heartache, just joy and happiness. I promise to always keep your memory alive, to never forget what kind of young man you were. You had the most outgoing personality, the kind everyone around you was drawn to. You were a funny kid and people remember that and all the other wonderful things that made you special. I was and will always be very proud of the man you were becoming. In those short 17 years of life, you brought me more happiness than I’d ever known. I miss you son! I love you Marty! Till that day we’ll finally be together, you’ll always be in my heart. And your memories will always be alive.

I love you son, Dad

GOD AND GOVERNMENT PART II Last week I left off in I Kings 18:17 where King Ahab had just met with Elijah. As a result of the sins of Ahab God had held the rain for 3 years. There was great famine in the land; the livestock were dying and the hardship was great. Both Ahab and his wife Jezebel were worshippers of the false god Baal and the LORD GOD was not happy with the way the government was running the nation. Verses 17-18: “And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said unto him, Art thou he that troubled Israel? And he answered, I have not troubled Israel; but thou, and thy father’s house, in that ye have forsaken the commandments of the LORD, and thou has followed Baalim.” Basically Elijah was telling Ahab to listen up. He said: God is unhappy with the nation; God is unhappy with your ruler ship; and God wants you to know it. Look at verse 19: “Now therefore send, and gather to me all Israel unto mount Carmel, and the prophets of Baal four hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the groves four hundred, which did eat at Jezebel’s table.” They ate at Jezebel’s table. Do you think they were not part of the government? Who was filling their belly everyday? Jezebel did; they were under total government support. I thank the Lord that Baptist churches are never under government support of any kind.

So listen you Baptists, that is why you ought to give to the Lord. The government does not support this church; so listen members of this church, it is up to you to support your local church. That is the way God intended it to be (Malachi 3:810) Listen, the government cannot balance its own budget; we have to balance ours! Hello!

Verse 20: “So Ahab sent unto all the children of Israel, and gathered the prophets together unto mount Carmel.” If I am adding right that is 850 prophets of Baal! Verses 21-24: “And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word. Then said Elijah unto the people, I, even I only, remain a prophet of the LORD; but Baal’s prophets are four hundred and fifty men.

DR. CHARLES SMITH MT. ORAB BIBLE BAPTIST CHURCH www.bbcmtorab.com Let them therefore give us two bullocks; and let them choose one bullock for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and lay it on wood, and put not fire under: And call ye on the name of your gods, and I will call on the name of the LORD: and let the God that answereth by fire, let him be God. And all the people answered and said, It is well spoken.” That was the deal. So the prophets of Baal did what was required and then: “...called on the name of Baal from morning until noon, saying, O Baal, hear us...” They cried aloud, leaped around, cut themselves with knives, but at evening time still nothing had happened. Verse 29 states: “...that there was neither voice, nor any to answer, nor any that regarded.” It was because Baal is not God, Buddha is not God, Mohammed is not God, and no false god will ever answer. Isn’t it wonderful that our LORD and Saviour Jesus Christ is seated at the right hand of the Majesty on high and He is never out-of-town; He never sleeps, and we can pray any part of the 24-hour day year around and be heard. Do you know why you do not pray very much? It is because you do not expect very much! But Elijah did! Verses 3739: “Hear me, O LORD, hear me, that this people may know that thou art the LORD God, and that thou hast turned their heart back again. Then the fire of the LORD fell, and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench. And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces: and they said, The LORD, he is the God; the LORD, he is the God.” Oh, if only the American government along with the people would stand up and proclaim the same thing!

The Brown County Educational Service Center hosted its 37th county inservice event for county school districts on Friday, Aug. 20, 2010. Over 600 teachers and administrators gathered at Western Brown High School for the event that kicks off the beginning of the school year.

This year’s keynote speaker, Dr. Jim Mahoney, set the stage for teachers of the 21st Century. Dr. Mahoney discussed the importance of being knowledgeable about educational change in order to be a part of the change and not left behind during the change. He spoke about the impact that the 400 million dollars in Race to the Top funds, which Ohio was awarded on August 24th, will have on educational practices and hence student achievement in the coming years.

Finally, Dr. Mahoney shared the work that Battelle for Kids, the organization for which he is the director, has done in researching effective

How many traditions today last 100 years? Well, Pisgah Christian Church, a nationally registered historic landmark located just outside of Ripley, Ohio is demonstrating that some traditions can stand the test of time. On Sunday, September 12 the church celebrates its 100th annual Homecoming with a potluck lunch at 1:00 p.m. followed by a program.

John Cooper, a member of the church’s board of trustees recalls, “I remember going as a child to the Homecoming with my great-grandmother Nellie Hicks. She had attended services at the church back in the days of horse and buggy.

Her grandfather William Pangburn was one of its early ministers.” Pisgah Church was founded by Elder Matthew Gardner in 1824.

The current building was constructed in 1854.

BY Morgan Cowdrey Rising Stars 4-H reporter The most important thing a Brown Co. Jr. fair market project exhibitor learns is Quality Assurance. Quality Assurance training and/or testing are required of any Brown Co. Jr. Fair exhibitor who is selling a market project at the fair. This free training and/or testing is offered several times during the year through the OSU Extension Services. Test questions for QA are given through the OSU Extension Animal Science Dept. and the Pork Council. On August 26th the final training session of the year was presented by David Dugan, Agriculture and Natural Resources OSU Extension Educator at the Southern Hills Career and Technical Center at 5:30pm. Mr. Dugan reminded exhibitors of the responsibility

they have to protect consumers and the Jr. Fair organizations with proper quality assurance.

As well as being a threat to consumer’s health, one tainted animal can shut down a whole industry line causing a great expense to the industry and higher prices for consumers.

The Rising Stars want to remind Jr. Fair exhibitors to read medication and medicated feed labels for withdraw times and that QA requires drug notification cards to be handed in at livestock check-in. Any medication that needs to be given to an animal during fair must be given by the fair vet only and reported immediately to the head of that Jr. Fair livestock department!

Keeping ample clean water available at all times, proper feeding techniques, safe shelter with plenty of shade, working with your animals in the early morning and late evening (in hot weather) from now until fair will ensure a stress free market animal!

Eleven students were recognized for completion of the college’s one-year certificate program.

“The pinning ceremony is a time-honored tradition to mark the passage from nursing school to the nursing profession,” explained Dr. Julianne Krebs, SSCC Director of Nursing, who opened the evening’s ceremony with introductions of the nursing faculty and SSCC President Dr. Kevin Boys.

Guest speaker for the program was Dr. Kim MillerWenning, a family and psychiatric nurse practitioner who also serves as an adjunct faculty member in Southern State’s nursing program.

“Dr. Miller-Wenning is a graduate of an associate degree program here at Southern State 20 years ago,” said faculty member Jody Gray in introducing the guest speaker. “She has exemplified what we would like our students to become: lifelong learners.

“She went right from Southern State to a hospital school of nursing and earned her bachelor’s degree, then she became a certified nurse practitioner and went on to earn her master’s degree in medical surgical nursing. She completed post master’s certificates as a family nurse practitioner, family psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner and in nursing education, serving as a clinical fac-

ulty member for our program and for the University of Cincinnati. Recently she finished her doctorate of nursing practice.”

Taking the stage, Dr. Miller-Wenning concurred: “I am one of those lifelong learners. I started college in 1978 and I’ve taken a class every year since then. I’ve been in school longer than some of you have been alive!

If you think you’re done, don’t believe it. You’re going to learn every day; there are always new things to learn.

“Nursing is about caring,” she continued. “But do we, as nurses, take care of ourselves? That’s one thing we need to do. You can’t take care of anyone else if you’re not at your best.” She further emphasized to the graduates that part of caring as a nurse is also caring about community,

colleagues, families and the nursing profession.

MillerFollowing Wenning’s address to the graduates, Dr. Krebs recommended the graduates for certification and recognized members of Phi Theta Kappa honor society, including Mary Fraley, Lisa Haynes, Betty Johnson and Sarah Lewis.

Marilyn Jones, practical nursing faculty member, then presented the Licensed Practical Nursing Association of Ohio’s free one-year membership award to graduate Betty Johnson.

Two graduating students participated in the evening’s program. Mary Fraley presented the opening remarks, while Scott Faulconer closed with a benediction.

The most recent graduates of Southern State’s practical nursing program, who join the

ranks of 881 graduates before them, include Douglas Scott Faulconer of Greenfield, Mary Ann Fraley of Leesburg, Lisa Haynes of Hillsboro, Melissa M. Hostetler of Washington C.H., C.

The Warrior PRIDE program is an after-school program that offers academic enrichment, academic intervention, and physical fitness for students of the Eastern District. This year Warrior PRIDE will serve students in 1st through 10th grades.

Students will be invited to enroll in the program; they will be nominated by teachers and there will be a registration night at each building in September. Warrior PRIDE will operate Monday through Thursday and bussing will be available for transportation home if needed.

Last year students at

Russellville and Sardinia Elementaries who participated in Warrior PRIDE were given the opportunity to attend a field trip to the Cincinnati Museum Center, they participated in programs facilitated by the OSU Extension, Dr. Mark Day, DC, provided body movement fitness programs, and students were provided regular homework help and additional time working with Study Island.

Students at Eastern Middle School enjoyed working with Becky Cropper to complete a leadership program, they Southern State toured Community College main campus, and worked on a pirate research program. All of the students enjoyed “onsite field trips” presented from the Mad Cap Puppet Theater and Mad-Science.

We also provided our staff with professional development that focused on Academic Achievement for all Students working with Dr. Cathy Hamilton.

Frances Strickland views her role as Ohio First Lady as that of a person who can bridge the gap between state government and Ohio's citizens.

Mrs. Strickland talked about that role during an interview at the 2010 Ohio Tobacco Festival VIP Reception Aug. 27 in Ripley.

She was in Ripley campaigning for her husband, Ted Strickland, who is running for re-election to a second term as Ohio governor on the Democratic Party ticket. She and other supporters of the incumbent governor walked together in the OTF Opening Parade in Ripley held prior to the VIP Reception.

“I like it when communities come together like this,” Mrs. Strickland commented about that annual Tobacco Festival.

She mentioned how she travels a lot around Ohio without her husband and talks to state residents about their concerns.

Mrs. Strickland said while many Ohioans may have some good ideas state government may be able to use in its decisions, they sometimes feel they

She said state government leaders “are looking for new ideas, better ways of doing things”.

Mrs. Strickland commented how she feels her husband has stayed close to Ohio's residents and mentioned he went out and talked to residents in different parts of Ohio when he tried to get education, energy, and budget bills passed by the Ohio state legislature.

She and her husband were Lucasville-area residents before moving to Columbus following Mr. Strickland's election as Ohio governor in 2006.

She said she didn't move to Washington, D.C., when her husband served in Congress, but stayed in Ohio, and her husband came back to the Buckeye State every weekend.

State Wildlife Officials seek dismissal of charges CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 with termination to be forced to divulge information that could incriminate them.

Judge Gusweiler is being asked to dismiss the case.

Failing that, he is being asked to suppress certain evidence gathered against the five defendants.

The hearing was still being conducted at press time.

The charges stem from 2006 when Division of Wildlife Officer Allan Wright was accused of letting South Carolina Wildlife Officer Eric Vaughn use Wright’s home address to purchase an in-state hunting permit.

That action allowed Vaughn to save $106.00 by paying $19.00 for the license instead of $125.00.

Wright also allegedly tampered with official state records by recording his own address on deer tags used by Vaughn.

Little decided to charge the five individuals above Wright in the Division of Wildlife chain of command after an investigation by the Ohio Inspector General’s office said the five ignored alleged criminal activity by Wright in violation of state policy.

Wright was originally charged by Little back in April with two felony counts of tampering with records and one misdemeanor count of falsification.

The charges were dropped by Little back in May because she is also prosecuting his superiors.

To avoid having any information from their prosecution unfairly tainting Wright’s case, Little asked that Adams County Assistant Prosecuting Attorney David Kelley be named to conduct a fresh investigation into Wright’s case.

So far, Kelley has not sought an indictment against Wright, who returned to his duties as a Wildlife Officer in May. The case began in October of 2009 when the IG office received a complaint about Wright’s alleged activities from a confidential informant.

After a five month investigation, the IG office issued a report that said Wright’s superiors “ignored the criminal viola-

tion of falsification and decided to handle the violation with an administrative investigation.”

The IG report continued that “Wildlife administrators never recognized or considered that Wright’s actions could be criminal.”

Wright’s actions were classified as a “Failure of Good Behavior” and he was issued a verbal reprimand.

Back in April, Little said she charged the five because “They ignored criminal activity and tried to sweep it under the rug”.

The five remain on paid administrative leave until the case is resolved.

Asked about her husband's re-election race, Mrs. Strickland said it appears presently as if it is going to be a tight contest.

His Republican Party opponent is John Kasich, a former U.S. representative who served nine terms in Congress from the 1983-84 Session to the 1999-2000 Session. Kasich and the incumbent governor served three terms together in the U.S. House of Representatives representing separate U.S. House districts in Ohio.

If Mike DeWine is elected Ohio attorney general on Tuesday, Nov. 2, he plans to join attorneys general from about 20 other states in challenging the constitutionality of the National Health Care Plan adopted by Congress earlier this year.

Fran DeWine spoke about her husband's candidacy as the Republican nominee for Ohio attorney general during a brief stop on Sept. 1 at Paul Hall and Associates Office in Mt. Orab. A little more than a dozen people stopped in to listen to the Cedarville resident.

The legal action Mrs. DeWine referred to concerns opposition in many states to the National Health Care Plan, sometimes referred to as “Obamacare” because of Democratic President Barack Obama's strong support of that measure.

Attorneys general of about 20 states have filed legal challenges to that act of Congress, which many people believe will burden individual states with more mandates and financial costs. While many attorneys general who have filed such challenges are Republicans, at least one is a Democrat – Louisiana's Buddy Caldwell. Ohio's state government has chosen presently not to challenge the National Health Care Plan.

Concerning other issues, Mrs. DeWine said she thinks one of the biggest crisis Ohio faces and her husband will have to help address is the jobs situation.

She said as attorney general Mr. DeWine will work with the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency and other state agencies in an effort to keep businesses in Ohio and not shut them down with regulations.

Mrs. DeWine said while Ohio has wonderful universi-

Mrs. DeWine speaks about husband's Ohio AG campaign ties and colleges, students who attend them leave the Buckeye State when they graduate. “We have to have jobs to keep the kids here.”

Mike DeWine served two terms in the U.S. Senate (1995-2000 and 2001-2006) before being defeated for reelection to a third term by current Ohio U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown.

Asked why her husband was running for attorney general, Mrs. DeWine noted, “He has a great passion for solving problems. He's a prosecutor, and he loves public service.”

Mrs. DeWine said she anticipated her husband making a visit to Brown County before the Nov. 2 General Election and said he had talked about visiting the Brown County Fair, which is scheduled Monday-Saturday, Sept. 27-Oct. 2.

Superintendent District Charles Birkholtz was candid about some of the issues facing the district, particularly at the high school.

“Those (high school) scores did not surprise me at all”, Birkholtz said.

“The school was basically out of control.”

Birkholtz cited a lack of discipline and lax attendance enforcement as issues with the high school, as well as a lack of intervention in the past with students that are struggling as factors that affected the school’s rating in a negative way.

Birkholtz added that he

began a concentrated effort to improve the learning environment at the high school last January that is already starting to see results.

Those efforts include intervention teams that target students that are having learning issues and help them as soon as possible.

Birkholtz also said that his district has implemented summer school programs for two groups of students, those that had failed state proficiency tests and those who lacked the number of credits needed to graduate.

Birkholtz said “I think we’ll see significant improvement in next year’s test scores” as a result of the efforts.

plaintiffs were seeking.

The proposed ordinance that currently is still scheduled to be on the General Election Ballot on Nov. 2 begins by stating it is an “ordinance declaring that the Aberdeen, Ohio, water system is obsolete, unfit, and unneeded and should be offered for sale and directing the sale be advertised for bids and declaring an emergency”.

It qualified for placement on the Nov. 2 ballot as a result of its petitioners getting the required number of signatures from Aberdeen voters.

The council members sought an order compelling Brunner and BCBE to “investigate violations, the use of inaccurate, misleading, or fraudulent language that would tend to confuse the average person of Ohio election law by circulators of a municipal initiative petition”.

The plaintiffs also sought Gusweiler to “invalidate said petition due to these violations or issue an order to compel the Ohio secretary of state to command the Brown County Board of Elections to perform this act” and “stay any action by the Brown County Board of Elections that would allow this initiative to be presented on the ballot pending resolu-

tion of this issue”.

The council members stated they unanimously had endorsed the decision to seek a mandamus via a resolution they adopted on Aug. 16 (at their regular council meeting).

The plaintiffs claim the initiative's language calling Aberdeen's water system “obsolete, unfit and unneeded” fraudulently misleads the average person by omitting “the truth in regard to the safety of the village water supply”.

As part of their argument to keep the initiative off the Nov. 2 ballot, council members stated in regard to the initiative's language, “Water is a necessity for any village and cannot be considered 'unneeded'. The Village of Aberdeen is currently operating its water system within EPA (Ohio Environmental Protection Agency) guidelines and cannot be considered 'obsolete' or 'unfit'.”

The plaintiffs further stated in their complaint in mandamus, “The Village Council recently approved construction of a new water treatment plant, and this satisfied the future concerns of the EPA. The current water system is safe, adequate and sufficient for the current needs of our citizens. The EPA did not say that the present water system

is inadequate.”

A hearing on the matter was held Aug. 27 in Brown County Common Pleas Court. Present with Gusweiler were Gossett; Brown County Prosecuting Attorney Jessica Little, who was representing BCBE; Brian Shinn, general counsel for Brunner; and Aaron Epstein, also on behalf of Brunner.

The judge in his decision stated that upon consideration of the Ohio Constitution and a section of the Ohio Revised Code, “The Court finds no clear legal duty imposed upon respondent Jennifer Brunner, Ohio secretary of state, nor upon the Brown County Board of Elections, to perform any act as prayed for in petitioners' complaint. The Court further finds respondents have performed their duties in accordance with the Ohio Revised Code and the Ohio Constitution.

“Accordingly, the writ as prayed for in petitioners' complaint is hereby denied. It is the order of this court costs are to be paid from the deposit and/or taxed to the petitioners.”

A telephone attempt on Sept. 1 to reach Gossett for comment at her law office in Bethel was unsuccessful.

Deja vu all over again as Western drops season opener to Hillsboro

By Ritchie Butler The Brown County Press

B R O A D S H E E T

In a near repeat of last year's season-opening loss, the Western Broncos fell to the Hillsboro Indians by a score of 35-34.

"We played with enthusiasm tonight," said second-year Western coach Evan Dreyer.

"We love the game and love the hits. It was a heartbreaking loss, but we are going to get back to it and focus on our health and mental toughness."

The Bronco defense did a nice job on the first series, holding Hillsboro to just seven yards and forcing a punt.

The offense got going in the new passing game, moving the ball from the Broncos' own 26 to Hillsboro's 36 yard line.

The drive ended however, when Matty Corcoran's pass was intercepted at the Indians' 32 yard line.

Again, the Bronco defense got after it, moving Hillsboro back seven yards in three plays, forcing a punt. The snap sailed high and was picked up in the end zone by Hillsboro's

Dow Kiefer. The Indian punter was hit hard by a Bronco defender and the ball was loose.

Kendal jarred Klinginsmith recovered the ball for a touchdown, giving the Broncos a 6-0 lead with 6:36 remaining in the first quarter. Corcoran found Tim Cecil in the end zone on the try for two, putting the Broncos on top, 8-0.

Hillsboro picked up some positive yards on its next possession, moving the ball to the Western 35 yard line. After a sack by Matt Canter, Hillsboro's Aric Carroll was picked off by Brady Brooks, who returned the interception to the Indians' 18 yard line.

Six plays later, Corcoran scored on a keeper. The try for two was not successful, but with 2:12 remaining in the first frame, Western held a 140 lead.

Hillsboro's next possession lasted over five minutes and covered 63 yards. The Indians' drive was capped off by a oneyard touchdown plunge by Carroll. The point after was missed wide right. With 8:43

on downs in its next drive.

Western's turn ended with a punt.

"Gunner is a tremendous athlete," said Dreyer. "He took that fumble very hard. He and Kaden will be good in our backfield for years to come."

With good field position, the Indians marched 36 yards for a touchdown. The drive was capped by a Carroll to Kiefer 32-yard touchdown pass. The try for two was unsuccessful and with 11:53 left in the game, Western held a 34-28 advantage.

Hillsboro tried an onside kick, but the Broncos' Michael Latoof recovered. Western moved the ball to midfield, but a sack of relief quarterback Kaden Piatt, stalled the drive, forcing a punt.

The Indians took over at their own 42 yard line, but went three and out.

Western started at its own 18 and moved the ball to the

42 yard line before punting the ball back to Hillsboro with 5:26 remaining to be played.

Hillsboro, starting at its own 40, moved the ball and the clock. On second and 10 from the Western 13 yard line, Carroll found Kordell Ford with a pass. Ford juked his way to the end zone. Hawkins made the PAT, giving Hillsboro a 35-34 lead with just 14 ticks left on the clock.

Corcoran re-entered the game at quarterback and completed a 29-yard toss to Nick Woodyard with five seconds left. corcoran's final pass for the win was intercepted at the goal line, ending the game with the Indians on top, 35-34.

“We played well enough to win,” said Dreyer. “We lost some key yards on special teams. Our receivers and quarterbacks worked hard in the off season, but our timing was a little off tonight. Three hundred and sixty-five days ago,

we weren’t pursuing the ball like we did tonight. We are a little inexperienced in areas.

We just have to get better.”

Spencer Howard led the defense with 11 tackles, eight were unassisted. Jacob Bering and Jordan Haggerty were each in on seven take downs.

Corcoran led the rushing attack with 98 yards on 15 carries. Gunner Woodyard added 31 yards on 10 attempts.

Corcoran also led the passing game with 80 yards, finishing 11-of-19 with one touchdown. Piatt finished 6of-8 for 37 yards. Nick Woodyard was 1-o-1 with a touchdown.

Nick Woodyard led the receiving corps with three catches good for 46 yards and two touchdowns. Banfil finished with four catches good for 32 yards and a touchdown.

Gunner Woodyard had seven receptions for 47 yards.

remaining in the first half, Western clung to a 14-6 lead.

The Broncos got the ball and started their next possession at their own 24. Corcoran found Gunner Woodyard for gains of 12 and nine yards.

Corcoran then kept it two consecutive times, gaining 29 and seven yards, respectively. On second down and goal to go from the Hillsboro eight, Corcoran found Nick Woodyard in the corner of the end zone. The two-point try failed, but with 6:45 left in the half, Western had increased its lead to 20-6.

That margin didn't stand for long. Mason Hunnick took the ensuing kickoff and, ten seconds later, arrived in the end zone. Carroll scored on a keeper good for two points, cutting Western's advantage to 20-14.

The Broncos' next drive stalled at their own 30, but Zac Wilson booted a 43-yard punt, putting Hillsboro back on its own 27 yard line.

The Indians marched 73 yards in two minutes. The big blow came on a 64-yard touchdown jaunt by Bodi Hawkins. The try for two was successful and Hillsboro claimed a 22-20 lead with 3:28 left in the half.

The Broncos came racing back. Western's ground game yielded 37 yards on four consecutive rushes. Hillsboro was whistled for two penalties, setting up another score for the Broncos. On first and goal from the nine, Corcoran hit Nick Woodyard with another pass. Corcoran found Jake Banfil in the end zone on the two-point conversion, giving Western a 28-22 lead at the intermission.

The Broncos took the ball in the second half, and after the kickoff went out-ofbounds, Nick Woodyard returned the "mulligan" 50 yards to Hillsboro's 33 yard line. Western mixed the run and the pass well, but the drive stalled at the 14. Facing fourth and goal, Western got a new set of downs after the Indians were whistled for roughing the passer. After three plays netted only two yards, Western faced a fourth and goal at the five.

Nick Woodyard took a pitch and threw a halfback-pass to a waiting Banfil, giving the Broncos a 34-22 lead. The two-point try failed, but with 7:19 remaining in the third, Western held a 12-point edge.

Both teams ended their next possessions with fumbles.

Prine scores four goals in Eastern win over Lynchburg Allison Prine, junior forward for the Eastern Lady Warriors, scored four goals in her team's 4-1 win over Lynchburg in a non-league game on Monday.

"Allison had a great game," said first-year Eastern coach Sarah Koehler.

"Amber Yockey also played well. She worked really hard in the offseason. We passed well and played as a team."

The Southern Hills League rivals played each other tough for the first 25 minutes of the game. Both goalies had some saves and the teams moved the ball to all parts of the field.

Prine broke the ice with 14:44 left in the half when she took a pass from Megan Scott

and found the net, giving the Lady Warriors a 1-0 edge.

The Lady Mustangs came storming right back. Brandy Hunter pushed in a rebound with 14:17 showing on the first-half clock, evening the count at 1-1.

With 8:30 remaining in the first period, Prine took a pass from Yockey and scored from the left side, putting Eastern back on top, 2-1.

Neither team scored the remainder of the half, leaving the score at 2-1 at the break.

In the second half, it was all Eastern. Prine added a goal with 14:13 left in the game when she converted a header off a pass from Breanna Williams, giving the Lady Warriors a 3-1 cushion.

The Eastern defense held and the midfielders controlled

the action the rest of the way.

Prine lobbed in a shot with one second left on the game clock, making the final score 4-1 in favor of the Lady Warriors.

"We had a few nagging injuries, but we played through them tonight," said Koehler. "We match up well with everyone in the SHL. It should be exciting and I expect us to finish in the top three in the league."

The win lifted Eastern to 20 overall.

Warriors, Mustangs play to 2-2 tie

By Ritchie Butler The Brown County Press The Eastern Warriors and Lynchburg Mustangs played to a 2-2 on Monday during a non-league soccer game played at Eastern.

"I felt good about the tie," said Eastern coach Dylan Fain. "It confirms that we can play with anybody in the league. We had our chances. If we were more aggressive, we could have won.

into the game when he came out of a crowd in front of the goal, giving the Warriors a 1-0 advantage.

With 27:38 remaining in the half, the Mustangs evened the count when Michael Smith scored off a pass from Tyler Davidson.

The two Mustangs reversed roles 12 minutes later as Davidson scored off a cross from Smith.

At the half, Lynchburg held a 2-1 lead.

"We moved another guy to defense in the second half," said Fain. "And it led to more possessions."

After several shot attempts by the Warriors, Hauke found the net off a rebound with 18:39 left in the game, tying the score at 2-2.

Eastern had one more gold-

en opportunity. With 1:25 showing on the clock, Jordan Payne struck a penalty kick that was stopped by the Mustangs' keeper.

Neither team was able to get a good shot the rest of the way and the game ended in a 2-2 deadlock.

"Our goalie, Chase Edminsten, played well today," added Fain. "He's still learning, but he made some good saves. We're young and talented. We just need some more experience."

The Warriors now stand at 1-1-1 on the season after falling to Summit Country Day and defeating Georgetown. Eastern was set to open league play at North Adams on Wednesday.

Western Lady Broncos fall to Broncos 1-1 with loss to Lady Lions fall to Lions in SBC opener

By Ritchie Butler The Brown County Press

The Western Lady Broncos dropped to 1-1 on the season, 0-1 in the Southern Buckeye

Conference, after losing to the New Richmond Lady Lions by a score of 2-1.

"We couldn't finish in that first half," said Western coach Anna Howell. "We were get-

ting too wide and wore ourselves out."

New Richmond took advantage and got the only two goals it needed in the first half.

With 13:49 showing on the clock, a Lady Lion knocked it in the net from the right side, giving New Richmond a 1-0 edge. Six minutes later, the Lady Lions scored on a play that was almost identical to the first, taking a 2-0 lead into the intermission.

"In the second half, we kept the ball in the middle and kept it on New Richmond's end," said Howell. "Calleigh Olsen moved the ball well and was very active. Faa Thianbang moved to sweeper and filled the position well. Ty Henry had some great balls. We were just unlucky."

Henry did cut New Richmond's lead to 2-1 early in the second half. She booted a shot from 25 yards after taking a pass from Delayne Seigla with 37:31 remaining in the game.

The rest of the way, the Lady Broncos kept the pressure on the defense. But several shots either hit the post or barely topped the crossbar.

Right to the end, Western was pounding the ball toward the net. But nothing else went in and the game ended with New Richmond on top, 2-1.

"We are strong, but inexperienced," said Howell. "But we are excited about the season."

By Ritchie Butler The Brown County Press The Western Broncos dropped their Southern Buckeye Conference opener on the soccer field, falling to New Richmond, 4-0.

"New Richmond looked pretty good tonight," said first year Broncos coach Kyle Fender. "We are young. We have four or five key players that are freshmen."

In the first half, Western and New Richmond spent some time testing each other's defense. In fact, neither team found the net through the first 31 minutes of the game.

The Lions broke the scoreless tie with 8:21 remaining in the half, making a shot off a cross. The Broncos had a few opportunities to even the count before the break, but were unable to get a good shot. After 40 minutes of play, New Richmond clung to a 1-0 advantage.

The second half started much like the first. Both defenses played well and the score remained 1-0 for nearly

24 minutes.

With just over 16 minutes left in the game, New Richmond scored on a penalty kick, doubling the Lions lead to 2-0.

Five minutes later, the Lions struck again, scoring off a cross.

New Richmond added an insurance goal on a breakaway with 4:41 remaining.

The Broncos got good penetration over the final 10 minutes, but were not able to get the ball in the net, falling by a score of 4-0.

"We played well for 64 minutes," said Fender. "We helped them out by being over aggressive instead of containing in that 10 minute stretch.

On the bright side, our problems are things we can fix. We should be a different team by the end of the season, given our work ethic."

The Broncos never quit during the loss. The offense just was not able to get any solid shots on goal.

"Jeremy Green worked his tail off and is skilled," added Fender. "Ian Stamper did a nice job in goal. He is a natural at keeper. We want to be the hardest working team on the field. We have a growing support from the parents and fans, and we appreciate it."

The loss dropped the Broncos to 0-2 overall, 0-1 in the SBC.

By Ritchie Butler The Brown County Press The Western Lady Broncos traveled to Eastern to open the volleyball season and came away with wins over the Lady Warriors and the Manchester Lady Greyhounds.

"These girls are a coachable group," said Western coach Heather Cooper. "We need to work on our consistency and make sure every rotation is strong. We are getting there."

In the first match, Western defeated Eastern, 2-0.

The first game saw the Lady Warriors take an early 4-0 lead.

Western battled back and went ahead 12-8. Eastern would not go away, however, as the Lady Warriors played the Lady

Broncos even the rest of the way. Western outlasted Eastern in the first game, winning 2522.

"The opener is always nerveracking," said Cooper. "Eastern threw a lot of things at us and played good defense."

"We had good energy and communicated well that first game," said first-year Eastern coach Carmela Reeves. "In the second game, we may have let our nerves get to us."

The Lady Broncos were steady in the second game, passing and hitting the ball very well. Senior Ali Hiler had two good streaks behind the service line. Her second allowed the Lady Broncos to pull away, winning the game by a score of 25-8 and taking the match, 2-0.

"We found our footing in that second game," added Cooper.

"Overall, we stuck together.

That shows me what we have to work with."

In the Lady Broncos' second match of the day, Western defeated Manchester, 2-0.

"We were able to mix things up with all our hitters," said Cooper. "That keeps the other team guessing. They don't know what to expect."

In game one, Western raced to an 11-3 lead behind the hitting of Danika Ratcliff and Mariah Carroll. Becca DeBord, Kylie Garrett and Amber Huiet also got into the mix on the outside.

Manchester battled back to 15-9, but the Western offense was too much as the Lady

Broncos captured a 25-15 win.

In game two, the Lady Greyhounds took an early 7-3 lead. Elizabeth Carter entered the game and served the Lady Broncos to within two, at 8-6.

Western tied the game at 1010 and again at 13-13. Hiler got behind the line and reeled off five-straight points, giving the Lady Broncos an 18-13 lead.

Western maintained its fivepoint lead at 22-17. The Lady Broncos did a nice job of passing and hitting, getting three consecutive kills and winning the game 25-17. The win also gave them the match, 2-0.

"They are learning leadership," said Cooper. "They were used to looking at our four seniors last year. Now they have become those girls."

After falling to Western earlier in the day, the Eastern Lady Warriors bounced back with a 2-1 win over the Lady Manchester Greyhounds.

"As a new coach, it's always good to get that first win," said

first-year Eastern coach Carmela Reeves. "I was pleased with our first match.

The girls really support each other and have come together as a team."

Game one of the match with Manchester was back-andforth. Eastern took a 6-3 lead before Manchester roared back to go ahead 8-6. The

score was tied seven times during the game, the last coming at 23-23. Taylor Doss stepped up to the service line and struck two solid serves, giving the Lady Warriors a 2523 win and a 1-0 lead in the match.

Eastern fell behind in game two of the match and was never able to recover. The Lady Warriors made some mistakes in communication and had too many unforced errors. Manchester took advantage, cruising to a 25-15 win, evening the match score at 1-1.

The rubber game of the match began as a seesaw battle. Neither team was able to pull away and the game was tied at 11-11. Lauren Ballou and Emily Meese got hot from the service line, enabling the Lady Warriors to convert some kills. Eastern led by as many as nine points, at 23-14, before winning the deciding game, 25-19. The game win also gave the Lady Warriors the match victory, 2-1.

"We played the net really well," said Reeves.

"Manchester can block, as we saw in that second game. We also got some consistent serving from Ballou and Meese."

Eastern's record was 1-1 in the tri-match. Manchester finished the day at 0-2.

Blue Jays off to flying start The Ripley Blue Jays came away victorious in their first regular season match on the road Wednesday night against the Felicity Cardinals.

Felicity struck first with a break away through the Ripley defense, and the Jays went to halftime trailing by a score of 10.

Soon after the beginning of the second half, senior team captain Ravye Williams answered back with a goal of his own, capitalizing on a head-

er off a long throw-in from senior Jonathon Kessel.

Soon after, fellow senior and team captain Michael Maloney was able to punch in a shot through the Felicity defense, giving the Jays the lead by a score of 2-1.

The Jays controlled the momentum for most of the second half, but Felicity answered back with a breakaway goal to tie the game at 2-2.

With just eight minutes left to play, the Jays went on the attack

and Williams was once again able to find the back of the net to seal the victory for the Ripley squad.

It was a fitting game for senior Ravye Williams who, four years ago on that very field, had a hat trick in his first appearance in a varsity soccer game.

The Blue Jays ran their season record to 3-0 with wins over Fayetteville and Mason County last week. Ripley stands at 1-0 in the Southern Hills League.

Georgetown cross country update Georgetown is excited to welcome Chad Sexton as Head Coach for the 2010 GEVS Country program.

Cross Sexton took the four Georgetown teams to their first meets of the season last week, competing at the Felicity Early Bird meet on Aug. 25 and at the Ripley Invitational on Aug. 28.

At the Felicity meet, Nick McAfee finished 1st overall (17:43) and Cody Pack finished 2nd overall (18:19). McAfee and Pack, along with Branden Helterbrand, Logan Lucas and Tom Cropper, brought home the 2nd Place team honors.

For the varsity girls, freshman Kylie Watson finished 1st overall with a time of 21:34.

Watson and her teammates Becca Whitaker, Meagan Hatfield, Morgan Meranda and

Eryn Cowdrey finIshed 3rd in the team division.

On Saturday, the G-Men traveled to compete in the Ripley Invitational.

Once again, Watson finished 1st overall (21:51) with Cowdrey and Meranda earning season best times for the Lady G-Men. The varsity boys were again led by McAfee and his 3rd place finish (18:09) along with Pack’s 4th place (18:18) finish, with sophomores Helterbrand (20:35) and Cropper (21:46) rounding out the varsity boys’ performance for the G-Men. Things are off to a good start for the junior-high G-Men cross country teams. The boys finished 2nd as a team at the Felicity meet, losing to Mason (Ohio) Junior High and 1st as a

team at the Ripley Invitational.

The junior high girls finished 8th as a team at the Felicity meet and 3rd as a team at Ripley.

The junior high boys cross country team is comprised of Jake Cropper, Jordan Kattine, Gage Bradley, Matthew Williams, Dylan Latham, Tanner Pack and Brenden Hatfield.

The junior high girls team is comprised of Kelsey Crawford, Kelsey Miller, Sarah Resing, Jessica Griffith, Kasey Spires, Veronica Johnson and Trisha Korczyk.

Top performers earning medals at the Ripley meet were Cropper (2nd - 11:41), Kattine (7th - 12:25), Crawford (2nd 14:02), and Miller (5th - 14:16).

Southern State Patriots fall to Lorain in opener, defeat Clark State The Southern State Community College Patriots opened the 2010 soccer season Aug. 28 with a 4-2 loss to Lorain County Community College.

“Today we let one get away.

We could have had a win,” said Sean Sweeney, SSCC assistant coach. “We will go back to work and do what we can to ensure this doesn’t happen again.”

Sophomore Tyler Jimison (North Adams) scored both goals for the SSCC Patriots, with assists going to sophomores Nathan Rollyson (Wilmington) and Jeff Strausbaugh (Unioto) The Patriots first goal of the 2010 season came in the third minute of the game when Strausbaugh threaded a pass through the defense to Jimison, who was wide open in the sixyard box. Jimison converted and placed the shot into the empty net.

Lorain evened the score a few minutes later and the game remained tied until Jimison’s second goal in the 29th minute.

Once again, the Patriots strung together a series of passes with Rollyson sending a through ball to Jimison for the score. The Patriots held a 2-1 advantage at halftime.

The second half did not go well for the Patriots as they surrendered three unanswered goals, ultimately falling in

defeat.

“For the first time since I have been the head coach at Southern State, I believe we are going to have to go back and work on our conditioning,” said Josh Thoroman, SSCC head coach.

Jimison continues to chase SSCC scoring records, his two goals giving him 13 in his career. Jarrod Thoroman (SSCC 1997-98) holds the record for the most goals scored in a career with 26.

Rollyson now has 11 assists in his Southern State career. The all-time assist leader is Kris Duff (2008-09) who recorded 12 assists in his career at Southern State. Duff is a 2009 graduate of Southern State and he is currently playing soccer for Wilmington College.

The SSCC men’s soccer team introduced newcomer Clark State Community College to conference soccer competition by blasting them 5-1.

This marks the first year for soccer at Clark State, but the 19th season for the sport at Southern State. Both schools are members of the Ohio Collegiate Athletic Conference (OCAC).

“It was a great victory for our program and this extends our winning streak against conference opponents to nine in a row,” said Josh Thoroman, SSCC head coach.

The scoring got under way

just three minutes into the game when sophomore forward Jimison was hauled down in the penalty box. Sophomore Rollyson stepped up and buried the penalty kick.

Seven minutes later, SSCC sophomore defender Chase Burns (North Adams) found Jimison on the run and Jimison converted his shot to put the Patriots up 2-0.

Sophomore midfielder Jordan England (Ripley) scored the third goal for the Patriots on an assist from Jimison. Burns recorded the fourth goal on an assist from sophomore Caleb Conn (Miami Trace).

Trailing 4-0, Clark State was able to post one score before Conn scored the Patriots’ fifth and final goal of the game.

Conn, who typically plays goalkeeper for the Patriots, injured a finger in the team’s first game of the season. He was moved to midfield where the coaching staff hoped to capitalize on his athleticism. Their theory held true, as Conn was able to receive the ball, elude the last defender, and then place his shot past the Clark State goalkeeper.

“Today was what Southern State soccer is all about,” said Sean Sweeney, SSCC assistant coach. “We are all about the team. The five goals from five different players were done by design and it makes this win all that much more special.”

The Fayetteville Lady Rockets traveled across the county on Tuesday and defeated the Eastern Lady Warriors in both teams’ Southern Hills League opener by a score of 32.

“Eastern is a good team,” said Fayetteville coach Sharon Sheets. “This one could have went either way.”

The SHL match took five games to decide a winner. In game one, Eastern took a commanding 18-12 lead before Fayetteville’s Gabby Valentine strung together four consecutive aces, pulling the Lady Rockets to within two, at 22-20. Eastern held off the Fayetteville comeback bid, claiming the victory, 25-20.

In game two, the Lady Rockets started strong behind the serving of senior Emily Stahl. Fayetteville scored the first eight points of the game and maintained an eight to 10point lead throughout. the Lady Rockets evened the

match score at 1-1 after winning the second game, 25-16.

Game three was a seesaw battle that saw momentum swings and lead changes the whole way. Fayetteville’s Haley Elliot put the Lady Rockets on top 22-16 with six straight service points. But the Lady Warriors finished strong as Andrea Tracy served them to a 25-22 victory.

Game four was much like game three, except the tide turned at the end in Fayetteville’s favor. After Eastern grabbed a 20-15 behind the strong serving of Taylor Doss, Fayetteville battled back, tying the count at 24-24. Valentine ended the game with two aces, giving Fayetteville a 26-24 victory, forcing a game five.

“We played with a lot of heart,” said Eastern coach Carmela Reeves. “We had good defense and I was

pleased with our level of play.

Unfortunately, we just didn’t come out on top.”

Eastern used that heart to race to a 4-0 advantage.

Fayetteville came storming back, tying the count at 8-8.

The Lady Rockets played their best volleyball of the night over the final half of game five, ending the scoring with an ace from Elliot, winning the game 15-12 and the match, 3-2.

“Last night (in a loss to New Richmond) we didn’t have the intensity,” said Sheets. “Tonight we did. Our hitters and servers played well. We have some holes in our defense, which we addressed in the last two games. We still need that cohesiveness. We will get it.”

Eastern fell to 1-2 overall, 0-1 in the league.

Fayetteville improved to 11 overall, 1-0 in the SHL.

UC Clermont Cougars start season on a positive note The 2010 edition of the UC Clermont volleyball team kicked off the season with a busy week of matches. The young Cougars got off to a positive start and learned some important lessons as they recorded a 3-1 record during the period.

Clermont opened the season with a road OCAC match at Southern State. The Cougars battled an equally young Patriot squad and improved a little each game in recording a 25-16, 25-12, 25-8 win.

As the weekend approached, the Cougars again hit the road. They headed to Pittsburgh to participate in the Penn State-Beaver Invitational tournament.

Clermont faced a brutal draw as they were once again pooled with two top ten

USCAA teams from the 2009 campaign.

On Friday night, Clermont faced Penn State-Fayette – the 2009 champion of the Penn State Athletic Conference.

The Cougars hit an outstanding .392 for the match and were able to squeeze out a 1725, 25-12, 25-23, 25-23 win.

The competition got even tougher on Saturday morning as 2009 USCAA number four rated and new NAIA member Rochester College awaited.

Rochester is a D-I powerhouse in the USCAA and was looking for revenge as Clermont knocked them out of the 2009 USCAA national championship in the quarterfinal round. This time the D-I program prevailed over D-II Clermont 25-20, 25-18, 25-19.

The young Cougars were able

to stay close with good defense in spite of Rochester’s control of the net and gained some valuable experience against a top notch program.

Clermont wrapped up the tournament with a close contest against Penn College.

The Cougars got off to a slow start as Penn College came out swinging for a 25-23 first game win. Games two and three saw Clermont steady a bit as they pulled out 25-22 and 30-28 wins. As game four began, the Cougars gained the momentum with solid defense and a powerful attack to cruise to a 25-13 match-clinching victory.

Junior setter/outside hitter Lauren Bradford (Norwood High School) was selected by the tournament committee to the All-Tournament team.

Fan Appreciation Night at MRP It was fan appreciation night at MRP with an autograph session on the front stretch and many giveaways from the drivers making a fun night for all in attendance.

The night started with the Mt. Orab Ford Modified Division with a field of 30 UMP modifieds on hand.

In heat-race action it was Rick Curtain, Doug Adkins and Dave McWilliams taking the victories with Jerry Lawson taking the win in the B-main event.

In the feature event it was Adkins in his fan appreciation themed cartoon car taking the lead and control of the feature for the first 11 laps before heavy smoke and sparks started coming out from behind the vehicle, ending his evening. Following Adkins’ trouble, it was all McWilliams in his Bad Fast Chassis by L & M Performance.

As they came across the line, it was chaos behind the leader as Randy Wash and Weasel Rhodes got together in turn four as they came to the checkered flag. Curtain edged Wash for second with a major incident following the checkered flag involving Wash, Troy Whitaker, and Jimmy Lennox, Jr. Mt. Orab Ford again had a surprise for the fans as they gave away several pairs of tickets to the Kentucky Speedway Indy Car Race next Saturday.

In the Sunesis Construction

Late Models, it was a fan favorite, Chad Stapleton, taking his first-ever feature win in his Riteway Construction, Cowboy Racecars, Outlaw Fabrication Machine. Stapleton started the night off with a heat-race win over Tim Prince, which earned him the pole position in the feature event. Also winning heats were Barry Doss and Dillon Huron. In the 22-car feature event, it was all Stapleton who, despite early pressure from Doss and late pressure from a hard-charging John Whitney, was able to take the checkers and did a spin-out in Victory Lane. Whitney came home second with Doss, Prince and Huron rounding out the top five spots.

In the Holman Motors Chevettes, it was Miles Tarvin taking the feature win from his outside pole position as he was able to lead all 15 laps en route to the victory. Rusty Yarger came home second, followed by a hard-charging Sean Jones, Jeff Watson, and Scott Ramp. In heat race action it was Lance Goodine taking his first ever MRP victory while Tarvin and Yarger were also victorious.

Derrick Davis won the B-main event.

In the US Race Gear Street Stocks it was one the most exciting events of the night as Jamey Adams and Jeremie Bretz battled side by side for

most of the event. But it was point leader and defending track champion Bretz taking the victory over the 16-car field.

Adams came home second, followed by Wayne Hughes, Bruce Gray, Jr., and Brandon Mather.

Adams and Hughes were credited with heat-race wins.

MRP would like to thank all the drivers and teams for support of the fan appreciation activities with everyone coming out on the front stretch signing autographs and greeting the fans with candy, race car photos, and other giveaways during the intermission activities.

Have A Safe and Fun Labor Day! There is no labor a person does that is undignified; if they do it right.

- Bill Cosby Work isn't to make money; you work to justify life. - Marc Chagall Without labor nothing prospers. - Sophocles

The Very First Labor Day September 5, 1882 - Peter J. McGuire, a carpenter and labor union leader, was the person who came up with the idea for Labor Day. He thought American workers should be honored with their own day. He proposed his idea to New York's Central Labor Union early in 1882, and they thought the holiday was a good idea, too. With four long months between Independence Day and Thanksgiving, Peter suggested a month halfway in between. The very first Labor Day was held on a Tuesday, September 5, 1882, in New York City. The day was celebrated with a picnic, concert and speeches. Ten thousand workers marched in a parade from City Hall to Union Square. Soon after that first celebration, the holiday was moved to the first Monday in September, the day we still honor. Congress passed legislation making Labor Day a national holiday in 1894. Labor Day is not just a day to celebrate the accomplishments of workers; for some people, it is also a day to talk about their concerns and to discuss ways to get better working conditions and salaries. from www.americaslibrary.gov

grant. During last school year, several teacher teams across the county applied for the LEEAP (Lee Academic Project) Grant. Three different readers from outside of the county scored each of the grants.

Based on points earned, the 2010-11 grant was awarded to the RULH Middle School 6th Grade Teaching Team, under the direction of Tammy Leahy, 6th grade Intervention Specialist.

Additional team members include Vicki Vance, Alfred Diedrick, James Turner, and Matt Lawson. Ripley Middle School’s grant will focus on innovative instructional methods, implementation of interdisciplinary activities, integration of technology, and improved alignment of the 6th grade science curriculum through their project entitled STREAM: Students Taking Responsibility for Environmental Analyzing and Monitoring. This team of teachers will gather data throughout the year and pres-

are seeing an increase as a result. But, more and more people are choosing Chatfield because they want an education that includes values and ethics, and encourages a love of learning. They want a liberal arts education.”

“Some educational programs focus more on creating experts in ever-more specialized fields,” explains Cotter.

“With a liberal arts education, Chatfield graduates are able to make informed judgments even on matters outside their particular competence. They enter the world as welltrained, well-rounded individuals.”

Cotter adds that although the college has added classes and faculty to accommodate the increase in enrollment, the emphasis at Chatfield is still on smaller class sizes and personal interaction between students and instructors. “Our student/teacher ratio is approximately seven to one,” says Cotter.

“Our students love the interaction they have with their instructors and classIt’s what we’re mates. known for. The college is,

and always will be, dedicated to maintaining smaller class sizes.”

Chatfield offers the Associate of Arts degree at its St. Martin campus in northern Brown County, and is an open enrollment college accredited by the Higher Learning Commission.

Chatfield’s open enrollment policy means that prospective students need only have a High School Diploma or GED to attend Chatfield and will be guided individually through the enrollment and Financial Aid application process.

Chatfield’s accreditation by Higher Learning the Commission allows credits earned at Chatfield to easily transfer to four-year colleges.

The St. Martin campus is located at 20918 State Route 251; St. Martin, OH 45118.

The Cincinnati location is at 1800 Logan Street; Cincinnati, OH 45202. For more information, visit the website at www.chatfield.edu, call 513-875-3344, 513-9219856, or email admissions@chatfield.edu.

Chatfield College in St. Martin and Cincinnati, OH reports its highest enrollment ever for the fall 2010 semester, which began Aug. 23.

Official numbers show a fall semester enrollment gain of more than 70% over last year.

The private, Catholic, twoyear liberal arts college has been experiencing larger than average growth this year.

On average, community colleges, trade schools, and other two year schools have seen anywhere from a 25 to 30 percent increase in enrollment over the previous year.

Chatfield’s Summer 2010 enrollment grew by nearly 60% over the previous year, and the college, expecting fall enrollment to show similar growth, added extra classes to the fall schedule and recruited additional faculty to prepare for the increase.

“Right now, Chatfield is the fastest growing college in the tri-state,” says Curt Cotter, Director of Admissions. “People are coming back to school because of the economy, and nearly all colleges nationwide

Creature Feature Canine false pregnancy and female reproduction

BY DR. DAN MEAKIN Rosie has built a nest and now considers her toys (and possibly some of the cushions) to be her puppies.

We get a lot of questions about female dogs having their menstrual periods. Do dogs have menstrual periods? How long do they last? How often do they come?

In fact, the menstrual cycle is a primate phenomenon; dogs do not have menstrual periods.

They have an estrus cycle that includes a period of false pregnancy. This false pregnancy, or pseudocyesis (pronounced “sudo-sigh-eesis”), also sometimes called pseudopregnancy, can get out of control and last for weeks with the dog producing milk and sometimes mothering soft toys or pillows like Rosie. So what should you do when this happens?

Before talking about treatment, let’s explain the dog’s natural estrus cycle. The female dog comes into season approximately every 6 to 8 months, though this period becomes more erratic with age and is somewhat irregular when cycles first begin.

The exception to the every 6 to 8 months rule is African breeds (Basenji, Rhodesian Ridgeback) who cycle once a year. When female dogs get older (say, age 7 or more) they do not stop cycling; there is nothing similar to menopause.

The first phase of the cycle is called proestrus and is characterized by a swollen vulva, a bloody vaginal discharge, and attraction of male dogs. She flirts with the male but will not allow him to mount. The bloody vaginal discharge is what seems to lead to the misconception that the dog is menstruating. In fact, the blood comes directly from the walls of the vagina rather than the sloughing of the uterine lining as occurs in menstruation.

The second phase of the cycle is called estrus, which is characterized by the change in character of the vaginal discharge from bloody to straw colored. At this time the female begins to allow the male to mount. It is classically the change from proestrus to estrus that ovulation occurs and the female is most fertile.

After the mating and the discharge are over, the period of diestrus begins. The female is hormonally pregnant regardless of whether or not she is actually pregnant.

During this time progesterone is produced by a structure in the ovary called a corpus luteum. This structure is produced by ovulation when the ova (eggs) are released.

If the dog is pregnant, other hormones will eventually take over to maintain the corpus luteum for the entire 63 days of the pregnancy. If she is not pregnant, the corpus luteum must simply wear out before she goes back into the period of hormonal inactivity in which she spends the bulk of her time.

The corpus luteum wears out slowly (rather than suddenly as

in pregnancy and puppy birth) over 70 days or longer.

Remember, during this time her body essentially thinks she is pregnant. All the hormones are present; only the puppies are missing.

Clinical False Pregnancy When false pregnancy persists it can be a nuisance. The female dog can show the following signs: • Nesting • Mothering inanimate objects • Lactating (giving milk) • Abdominal distension • She can even appear to go into labor.

Some female dogs are very sensitive to the hormonal fluctuations of their cycle.

Diagnosis is made by history and physical examination rather than by blood test. The key is to find symptoms of pregnancy in a female dog who is not pregnant. Symptoms generally become noticeable 6 to 12 weeks after estrus.

Treatment If symptoms are mild, treatment is unnecessary as the condition resolves within 3 weeks.

It may be tempting to put warm compresses on the breasts or wrap them to prevent milk leakage in the house.

It is important to remember that any touching of the mammary tissue is what stimulates milk production, so it is important to minimize tactile stimulation. If she is licking herself, she may need an Elizabethan collar to minimize stimulation.

If a more aggressive approach is needed, a diuretic such as furosemide can be prescribed. The idea is that mild dehydration will end the lactation. Some people may want to try water deprivation but this is potentially dangerous and should not be attempted without specific veterinary guidance.

If the above medication does

not work, hormonal medications can be used. Progesterone can be used but after the course of medication is complete, the false pregnancy recurs so this is not a good choice. Estrogens are also not a good choice as they bring the dog back into estrus (vaginal discharge, attracting males, etc.). A week’s course of the male hormone mibolerone has generally been successful but the medication is no longer available.

Hormones that inhibit prolactin (the hormone of milk production) are currently the best choices when medications are needed. Bromocriptine can be obtained from a compounding pharmacy and is given until lactation ceases (about a week or two).

Upset stomach is not unusual this medication. with Cabergoline has fewer side effects and is given similarly but tends to be more expensive.

Both these medications will cause abortion if the dog actually turns out to be pregnant so it is important to be sure.

A blood test or ultrasound can reliably detect canine pregnancy after 30 days from the breeding date. Ask your veterinarian about this test if you are not sure whether your dog is pregnant.

Spay During False Pregnancy?

It might seem like a good idea to spay the female to end the false pregnancy because spaying will remove the ovaries and the corpora lutea they carry. Unfortunately, this does not end the prolactin production from the pituitary gland, so spaying may actually prolong the false pregnancy. It is best to wait until the false pregnancy is over and then spay her to prevent future episodes.
