Southwest, Christ end affiliation BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press The affiliation between Southwest Regional Medical Center and The Christ Hospital that began last December ended on August 31. SWRMC CEO Joan Phillips called the split “a mutual decision based on different ideas about the future of rural health care.” Phillips said that SWRMC received a letter from The Christ Hospital in late August, stating an intent to end the affiliation within a short time. The letter was received after the sudden resignation of Christ CEO Susan Croushore. In a press release from The Christ Hospital an-

nouncing her departure, Croushore was said to have “managed a transition to an independent community hospital and the development of a strategic plan that is positioning it as a regional community health system.” Her sudden departure could represent a desire to change that strategy. The Christ Hospital did not respond to a request for comment by press time. Phillips said that after the letter was received, a “careful evaluation of the results of the affiliation was undertaken, and we chose at that time to end our relationship.” Southwest Healthcare Executive Chairman Paul Tuft said that the affiliation “was a good idea that did-

n’t pan out like we hoped it would” and that he was currently “exploring the idea of working with other local healthcare providers” to enhance healthcare access and options in Brown County. He added that while he was disappointed that the affiliation with The Christ Hospital didn’t work out, he was determined to continue to move forward with making SWRMC an even bigger success. “We’ve got a year under our belts and we’re more committed that ever’, Tuft said. “We are committed to this community and this hospital is not going anywhere”. Tuft added that Southwest was working on a CONTINUED ON PAGE 10

Former A’deen council BCRWA offers terms member made net threat for A’deen water sale BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press Former Aberdeen village council member Robert Hutchison is responsible for the internet threat that ended up cancelling the August 6 village council meeting. That information comes from Chief Deputy John Schadle of the Brown County Sheriff’s Office. Schadle said Sept. 6 that Hutchinson will be charged with Obstructing Official Business, a second degree misdemeanor. The maximum penalty for such a charge is 90 days in jail and a $750.00 fine.

Hutchinson had no comment when contacted by telephone. At press time he had not been charged with a crime. Schadle said that Hutchinson told him when confronted on Sept. 5 that “I knew it was wrong, but I just trying to stir the pot.” The threat was posted August 4 from the home of Hutchinson’s son in Boone County, Kentucky. It has since been removed from the Topix website, but it was provided to the Press by Village Council Member Billie Eitel. Spelling errors CONTINUED ON PAGE 10

BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press The Aberdeen Village Council met Sept. 4 to open bids for the sale of the village water system and for a regular council meeting.

The letter goes on to say “BCRWA will install two eight inch connections to your system, replace the two existing water tanks with a 250,000 gallon water tower and make necessary repairs to the distribution system....Aberdeen customers would pay the same monthly water rates as our existing customers. The monthly minimum charge is $22.00 for the first 2000 gallons.

The current average residential water bill is $34.36 per month for 4000 gallons.” Included in the proposal were a list of seven conditions that must be satisfied before the BCRWA would commit to an agreement.

opened up the sightlines to the building. “Ten years is about the expected lifetime of an outside paint job, so it’s time to take care of it”, said Brown County Commissioner Tony Applegate. The job is being done by Rainbow Painting Service, a local Georgetown business. It’s expected to take about four weeks to complete and will cost approximately $16,000. Some of that cost will be generated by the removal of the old paint, some of which contains lead. Brown County Board of Commissioners President Ralph Jennings said the job is a necessary part of building maintenance. “We’re going to be using the courthouse for a long time and we’ve got to take care of it.”, he said.

The Brown County Educational Service Center has entered into a joint grant application with Southern Hills Career and Technical Center. The two entities hope to get $100,000 from the State of Ohio to pay for a feasibility study and planning for a joint administration building. This is the second time the ESC has applied for the grant. “We did the original Local Government Incentive Fund grant application last spring,” said Jim Frazier, superintendent at the ESC. “It did not get funded at that time.” In other business, with the recent resignation of Ripley Union Lewis Huntington Local School District Treasurer Vivian

Armour, the governing board of the Brown County Educational Service Center has kicked in to high gear to find her replacement. “We’ve put together a brochure and will help the school advertise the open position and help them to find the right applicant,” said Frazier, “We are actively looking, and we will be accepting applications until Tuesday, October 9. From that point we will be interviewing the applicants through October. Mrs. Armour will be there until February 1, 2013 so we need to have her replacement ready to step in.” Frazier said that nominations and applicants must submit the following information: • a letter emphasizing qualifications and reasons for interest; • a completed application form, which can be ob-

"This is just another step in creating a more accessible service to the public," Gray said. "In April, prior to my appointment to the Clerk's position I pledged to open the Clerk's offices on Saturdays, and I felt compelled to see that pledge come to fruition as soon as reasonably possible." "The citizens of Brown County have a right to utilize the services of their county government without having to take time away from their own employment," Gray said. "It is my hope the steps we have taken as an office will provide for a more user friendly service to the general public."

In other business, board treasurer Sally Frydryk presented an investment report, a financial report and reviewed a list of bills with the board, all of which were accepted and approved. In other actions at the September 4 meeting, the board accepted the resignation of Constance Daniels Walker, a part-time pre-K teacher at Georgetown, effective August 21, 2012. Following the action, the board hired Rhonda Campbell to replace the pre-K part-time position pending licensure and satbackground isfactory check. The resignation of Russellville pre-K teacher/aide Susan Dawson was also accepted and Kyle Overstake was approved to replace her position as well as on an as-needed basis at Eastern. “I am happy to say that all but two teachers we let go are now back in our system,” Frazier said, “they’re not all at the same position necessarily, but they are employed.” Frazier briefly discussed

the Aesop phone system now in place in most of the Brown County schools. Aesop is an automated computer substitute teacher and teacher’s aide program. “Everything is on line now,” Frazier began, “When a teacher knows they’re going to be out, they post it online and the computer finds a sub for them. It’s really something. “The computer will actually call sub teachers on their cell phones no matter where they are. And all this is handled here at the ESC. All but Southern Hills and Georgetown Exempted Schools are part of this program.” Frazier added that because so many of the schools have had to work with fewer administrators, Aesop has taken some of the pressure off the ones they do have. Frazier told the board that the new insurance rates with United Health Care had been released and showed an 8.6% increase. He explained that the staff members using the plan only pay 25 percent of the premium. All Brown County Schools are on the insurance plan as well as Bright Local and Lynchburg Clay. The board accepted the changes. Frazier said that flu shots for all employees would be offered through the Wellness Program with United Health Care in the next couple of weeks. The next two board meetings will be held on Monday, October 8 and on Tuesday, November 6, both meetings will begin at 10:30 a.m. and the public is invited.

Letters to the Editor

Reader hopes for White House change Dear Editor, In regards to Mr. Books editorial “Ryan is the wrong pick for Romney”. He is implying he was speaking for thousands of senior Americans about Social Security. As for me I cannot wait for someone like Ryan to step up to the plate as Vice President of the United States. Our Vice President, Mr. Biden has done nothing short of embarrassing and slurring both Democrats and Republicans for most of his time in office. Look at the past 4 years of our presidents agenda and Mr. Books, do you want another 4 years of the same? Our National Debt is 16 Trillion. We borrow 3 Billion a day to pay our bills. We have record job loss, 42 months of unemployment above 8 percent. Mr. Books, Mr. Romney and Mr. Ryan’s plan will not affect anyone 55 and over. Our Medicare will stay the same. There will be no voucher system as you speak of for seniors. This seems to be a scare tactic.

Mr. Obama is taking 700+ Billion from Medicare to help finance his Obamacare. So does he really care about seniors? Mr. President promised the American people ‘hope and change’, but thousands of people have lost their jobs and homes. These people feel hopeless with no change. It is said middle class workers have faced the worst decade in modern history. With gas prices up to almost $4.00 a gallon lots of people are now forced to make choices. Do we buy needed medications or food. Some are going with little of both. Should this be happening in America? Now, he is worrying more about his political agenda than about the problems we all face. He has insulted every small business man and woman in the U.S. with his comment and insult “You didn’t build that”. Well they did build that. I know because at one time I built a small business and I did work my tail off 14 hours a day to succeed. Any way

how would the president know what it takes, there has never been any records to share he ever worked and no one ever questions him on anything. He is putting so much tax and regulation on these people they cannot afford to hire anyone. More people are on food stamps and welfare than ever before and this is what he’s striving for - Dependence on Government. We do need a man like Ryan on this ticket. Hopefully he will lift the burden off the seniors and middle classes hearts. Get us back to work and keep their homes they have paid on for many years. I feel for all these young people on minimum wage and those who have no jobs. We do need change and hope but not another failed 4 years of the Obama Administration. Now the president has made a big deal out of more tax records of Mr. Romney than 2 years. By the way, all his very own records are sealed. Is this fair? What is he hiding?! If we really

want to know go see the new movie “Obama’s America: 2016”. You will find out some truths about him you never dreamed of. After all no one ever heard of him until it was too late. Its time we all need to stand up and be counted for, speak up for our rights. Stand up for our Constitution and religious freedoms as they too are gradually being snatched away from us. Our country was founded on God. We all need to pray that God will restore our grand old USA. Check records and get out and vote! Pray to God for an answer. II Chronicles 7-14 says: “If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves, and pray and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and heal their land”. America we need that healing. Please see the movie before you vote. Ginny Fultz Mt. Orab

cated report. So I will give you the ABC News version. I have the other written out but it is much to long. Anyone can find the CBO version at www.cbo.gov. The ABC total report at www.abcnews.com. Here is the ABC News break down of the CBO report; Costs in 2022 under the Ryan proposal. The governments share is $8,000. Under the current law with expected updates the governments share is $8,615.38. The difference is $615.38. Now the beneficiary, that's you and me under the Ryan proposal it is $12,512.85. Under the current law with expected updates our share is $6,153.85. The difference is $6,358.97. Now the total cost under the Ryan proposal is $20,512.82. That is the government share and our share. But under the current law with expected updates it adds up to $14,769.23. Now lets see if the Ryan proposal is $20,512.82 and under the

current law it would be $14,769.23 it looks like we would be paying $5,743.59 to much. The part in the Ryan plan that says it would not change anything for anyone under the age of 55 reminds me of what big business has been doing for the last 40 years by seducing union workers by asking for less pay for new hires and other things as well. Things the more senior union members could live with. It seems to me that is what the republicans are doing with the Ryan plan. Oh, I almost forgot I do not watch Fox News. And another thing. Why would we want a business man for president? After all it was business men that sent our jobs away from our country. I will end with a quote from Thomas Jefferson in a letter to a friend's son; "Love your neighbor as yourself and your country more than yourself". Danny Books, Sr.

Lake Manor to be annexed into Village of Mt. Orab CMyK

The first of several steps needed for the Lake Manor Restaurant to be annexed in to the Village of Mt. Orab were put into place during the September 4, Mt. Orab Council meeting. A petition for the annexation of 5.267 acres of Lake Manor and adjoining properties owned by Raymond and Julie Evans and Christopher H. Bingaman, in Pike Township was filed with the Brown County Commissioners. The village had 20 days to adopt a resolution stating what services the village will provide and an approximate date by which it will provide them to the property. The resolution says the village will provide sanitary sewage collection and treatment, police protection, and all the services provided to other residents of the village. Council also signed an ordinances to annex 8.703 acres of land located at St. Rt. 32 and Eastwood Road, which has recently been purchased by True Life Christian Church. A second ordinance was signed by council to annex 2.454 acres of land into the

Village of Mt. Orab, located on Bodman Road. The land is owned by Ronald D. and Sue Ellen Shouse. In other business, Mayor Lunsford told council that he had received a request to use the new firehouse training room to hold a baby shower. Although he left the ultimate decision up to council, it was his recommendation to only allow the use of the facility for official business or village functions. “The problem I have with this is the security issues,” Lunsford began, “And there is also an issue with insurance coverage. It’s just not set up for outside use. An sometimes, in the event of an emergency, it gets pretty hectic in there

sometimes.” Council said they should have Solicitor Rick Goettke, draw up a policy on the fire department’s use and present it at the next council meeting. Lunsford later asked council to sign an agreement with Western Brown Local School District Board of Education and the village, regarding police officers at the school. “This is something we do every year for Western Brown,” Lunsford told council, “Nothing has changed from last year. We have always provided school resource officers” The agreement will run from August 1, 2012 through July 31, 2013. The cost for the board of education is $30,000 annu-

ally which includes: • helping to maintain a safe learning environment for students, faculty and staff; • aiding school administration with school investigations for infractions of codes of conduct; • assisting in the protection of the school facilities, plant, staff and students; • helping prevent juvenile delinquency through close contact with students, school personnel and the juvenile court; • investigate delinquent acts within the school system and it’s community when the schools or students are involved; • provide service to neighborhood merchants and residents in school-related issues;

Shari Stafford, charter member and coordinator of the Aberdeen Concerned Citizens Group said throughout the evening between 75 and 80 citizens attended the event. “One of the committees in the Concerned Citizens group is the ‘Crime Watch Committee,” Stafford explained. “They have been working very hard to organize a neighborhood watch plan. “Chief of Police Shawn Newman is working closely with us in our efforts. Being a part of the “America’s Night Out Against Crime” was to kick off our citizens on patrol program, which will encourage neighbors to watch out for neighbors in Aberdeen.” The Night Out was filled

with special events for children, one-on-one communications with law enforcement and heighten crime and drug prevention awareness. A dunking booth was set up where children could dunk police officers, and there was plenty of food that was donated to the event. The Night Out raised over $150 through voluntary donations. “These watch groups that are being organized by the Aberdeen Concerned Citizens can make a huge difference in the crime in our community,” said Chief Newman. “People will become aware of what’s around them and what’s going on. When they see something that they find unusual or out of the ordinary, they can call our department immediately.” The group hopes to generate support for, and participation in, local anti-crime programs across the village. “This was a really nice event,” added Stafford. “It’s a starting point and members of our group are excited about being involved in this anti-crime program. The flashlight vigil walk was a great way to kick-off our ‘Citizens on Patrol” program which we believe will help cut down on crime.” Through the citizens on patrol program, the village will be divided into sections. Each section will

REACTING Here in Matthew 27 we will find that Jesus walks His last steps on this earth as a mortal human being. Verses 1-2: “When the morning was come, all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death: And when they had bound him, they led him away, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor.” He was delivered to Pontius Pilate because at the time the Jews had lost their legal right to execute anyone. The Jews’ method of execution was by stoning, which was ordered by Moses. However, they were now under Roman rule. Verses 3-4: “Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? see thou to that.” It says: “repented himself”. That is, he felt sorry for himself. I have called on a lot of people in high security prisons over the years and most of the time I have found that they feel sorry for themselves because they were caught, not because of what they had done. That is what is happening here with Judas. He is sorry that he finds himself in the middle of all this and that everyone is bound to find out what he has done. He did not repent to God, he repented himself. Some modern Bibles leave the word “himself” completely out of that verse. Also I want you to notice the phrase “the innocent blood”. He is acknowledging the fact that Jesus Christ is totally sinless; Judas calls Him “the innocent blood”! Notice the chief priests and elders reaction: “What is that to us?” In other words: so what, we do not care! Verse 5: “And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself.” There are only two of these New Testament people in Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John that are written up in the Old Testament. The first of course is Jesus Christ. He is found throughout the entire Bible. The second is Judas Iscariot. David wrote about him in the Psalms. The proof of that is in Acts chapter 1. Concerning His life, Jesus said in John 10:18: “No man taketh it from me, but I lay

it down myself...” He hung on a tree. In one place in the Bible it calls the cross a tree. Judas hung himself on a tree although it was not a cross, but the similarity is there. They hung on a tree on the same day and they both laid down their lives of themselves. That information is important because it gives us a clue as to the identity of the Antichrist in the book of Revelation. Now look at verse 6: “And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said, It is not lawful for to put them into the treasury, because it is the price of blood.” On the one hand they are so careful not to go against God’s law; on the other hand they are so willing to execute an innocent man, which is also a violation of God’s word! That is religion without salvation! Watch this! They took the money and bought the potter’s field to bury strangers in. The prophecy in verse 9 of this filthy blood money is found in Jeremiah 18:1-4; 19: 1-3, and in Zechariah 11:12-13. In verse 10 of Matthew 27 it states: “And gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord appointed me.” The “me” in this verse is of course talking about Jesus Christ. In verse 11 He affirms that He is King of the Jews and verse 12 is a fulfillment of the prophecy in Isaiah 53:7. He does not have to defend Himself nor will He! He is willing to take all the guilt on Himself. The Bible says in II Corinthians 5:21: “For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.” This last day of the life of Christ as a mortal human being on this earth continues on in this chapter and so I will continue on next week! It is very important to see how the people reacted because in a sense they are still reacting the same way today. The majority are still rejecting Christ!

The Jaymie Jamison Foundation for Hope recently presented a check to Hospice of Hope, as a way of showing its gratitude to those who cared for its namesake during her last days. One of the foundation’s key purposes is to provide support to Hospice of Hope, as one of Jaymie’s direct wishes. A member of the foundation wrote, “[Jaymie] was provided first-rate hospice care during her last months and she wanted to do all she could to make sure others receive the same care and empathy during such a trying time.” The foundation was started after 34-year old Jaymie Jamison, mother of

4, lost her battle with cervical cancer. Her friends and family members joined together in an attempt to raise awareness of gynecological cancers, support families who are experiencing similar struggles, and to help Hospice of Hope continue to do good work in northern Kentucky and southern Ohio. Since it was founded, the Jaymie Jamison Foundation for Hope has been extremely active throughout the region, and has big ambitions. Last year they organized the eye-catching Panties Across the Bridge event, which involved stringing hundreds of pairs of women’s underwear

across the Purple People Bridge in Cincinnati, to raise awareness of gynecological cancers. This year, they repeated the event, but added a golf scramble a few months in advance, and “Jaymie’s Rockin’ Run for Hope,” a 5K on the day of the 2nd Annual Panties Across the Bridge. Hospice of Hope is extremely grateful to the Jamie Jamison Foundation for its support and sacrifices, and is pleased to know that it has inspired others to raise awareness. Hospice of Hope is a non-profit organization serving those suffering from terminal illnesses.

We will have fair board meetings every Tuesday at 8:30 p.m. at the fair board office. Each department will discuss any problems that have come up and work through them to give you another great Brown County Fair. Some of us will be doing radio programs on C103 the week of September 17 at 10 a.m. This gives us a chance to tell everyone about the Little State Fair who listen to the radio during the day. Through radio spots and newspaper advertising we tried to remind other counties about the Little State Fair. Here in Brown County we all know it’s the week of the fair. Vacations have been planned, camper spots taken, and the whole family is looking forward to a week of family entertainment. We all know that the weather is always a topic this time of year. Good weather means a great fair, cool weather means a normal fair, and we hope for a dry week to enjoy the fair. Wednesday of the fair is exciting for the schools in Brown County and the cheerleading squads of other schools in this area. Cheerleaders of all ages will compete in cheerleading routines and in dance routines. It is always fun to watch the little ones competing and looking forward to representing their schools. The Junior High and High Schools are competing to represent their schools and bring their fans to yell and show the pride they have in their schools. I have to admit I yell for Eastern High School even though it is been 47 years since my wife and I graduated there. The cheerleading starts at 5 p.m. and try to be there to cheer for your old schools. After 2 days of Demolition Derby on Monday and Tuesday at 8 p.m. the Championship Truck and Tractor Pulls start at 7 p.m. Bob Neal, Mark Dotson, and Kyle Cahall are working hard to provide the entertainment for you.

the importance of keeping SWRMC open in Georgetown. “It’s critical to the community that the hospital remain open, both from a healthcare standpoint and an economic standpoint”, Donohoo said. “It would be devastating for the people of this county to have to drive 30 minutes or more for healthcare, especially during an emergency.” Donohoo added that it was very important to recruit quality doctors who are willing to move to the community and put down roots.

Former A’deen council BCRWA offers terms member made net threat for A’deen water sale CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 in the post have not been corrected. It read; “I wish someone wearing an orange wig would go to the Aberdine council meeting with an AR-15 and Billy Idol should be first then stupid Jason Phillips next. With those 2 out, things might improve.” The reference to the orange wig brings to mind James Homes, who was seen in court in Aurora, CO, with orange hair. Holmes is charged with multiple murders after allegedly opening fire in a movie theater on July 20. An AR-15 is a semi-automatic rifle similar to a military M-16. Aberdeen Mayor Harry Foxworthy said he contacted the Department of Homeland Security when notified about the threat, and was advised to take it seriously and cancel the August meeting. Eitel said in the August 12 issue of The Brown County Press that the threat was first found online by the wife of Jason Phillips,

and that she was contacted about it. “I’m very upset by this”, Eitel said. “I’ve been harassed before on that stupid site, but to bring in a threat and talk about people being shot is obscene and wrong.” She continued, “It’s frustrating that there are people who think they can intimidate Jason and I into changing our opinion or quitting. This is not going to change what I feel is my duty as a council member. They are not going to stop me from doing what’s right in my heart.” Eitel was referring to the heated discussions in the community and council over the decision to stop work on a new water treatment plant in the village. Phillips was equally upset at the threat. “It scared my wife and my children which was totally uncalled for. It’s a shame that people can make a joke about things like that shooting in Colorado. I mean, people died there. I just want people to realize that I’m trying to do my best for the village.”

Phillips added “I think it comes down to the water issue”. said that Schadle Hutchinson appeared remorseful and that he said he had no intention or wish that violence would befall anyone on the Aberdeen Village Council. Eitel said that she was grateful to Schadle and Sheriff Dwayne Wenninger for their work in uncovering the identity of Hutchison. “Mr. Hutchison has been posting harassing and nasty remarks via Topix for a long time now”, Eitel said. “I trust that he will be held accountable for his actions in disrupting village business and costing the village and the county money that was spent investigating this threat.” Schadle said that the threat was taken seriously by the Sheriff’s Office because “we are responsible for the safety of citizens in the county”. He added that a number of hours had been spent by “more than a few people” investigating the threat.

Two officers subdue man resisting arrest CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 down. “Detective Goodwin went to the location where the man was,” said Chief Newman, “He made contact with Aaron Henderson.” Henderson is 28 years old and is from Maysville. Detective Goodwin told Henderson that he was a detective with the Aberdeen Police Department and needed to talk to him. Henderson continued to go in and out of the room and refused to speak to Goodwin. Goodwin said Henderson was becoming very agitated and began cursing and yelling. Goodwin called for back-up and told Henderson that he had to speak with him. Henderson then told the detective that he would kill him then fled to the back room. “Detective Goodwin didn’t know if the man had gone to the room to get a gun after the threat,” Chief Newman explained, “so the detective went into the kitchen for a little protection and drew his gun. He told the Henderson to come out of the room and that he was under arrest. The man wouldn’t listen to my detectives orders to get on the floor and continued to resist an arrest, so the officer sprayed Henderson in the face with mace.” Henderson then charged at the detective, engaging in a physical confrontation. Henderson was warned many times to get on the floor but fought the detective by punching, kicking and trying to bite him. Henderson also tried to get his hands on the officer’s gun, but was unsuccessful. Detective Goodwin fought with the man for approximately seven minutes be-

fore Police Officer Rob Dunn from the Ripley Police Department arrived. Both officers then struggled with the man trying to force him to comply. Henderson kicked Detective Goodwin several times and also bit Officer Dunn several times. Newman said Henderson was hit several times with a baton but it had no effect on him. Eventually Henderson was handcuffed and placed in the officer’s vehicle, but continued to be violent and

uncontrollable. The Ripley Life Squad arrived at the scene and administered chemical sedation to Henderson. Detective Goodwin received minor abrasions, lacerations and bruising. Following an overnight visit to the hospital, Henderson was booked into Brown County Jail. He is facing charges of aggravated robbery, obstructing official business, aggravated menacing, resisting an arrest.

Brown County among counties receiving natural disaster designation CONTINUED FROM PAGE 4 terest loans for crop losses, relief payments for non-insurable losses, the temporary deferral of payments on federal loans and permission to cut hay for livestock from acreage otherwise set aside for conservation. “Agriculture is an essential component of Ohio’s economy and our heritage, and if our farmers and Ohio’s food industry are suffering, Ohio suffers. The federal declaration will help keep farmers on their feet and mitigate some of the damage caused by the bad weather,” said Kasich. USDA Secretary Thomas Vilsack’s disaster declaration letter containing the full list of designated counties can be viewed online at www.governor.ohio.gov. Ohio farmers in these counties are encouraged to contact their local Farm Service Agency

(FSA) office for additional information. In July, Kasich signed Executive Order 2012-11K which, among other things, instructed state agencies to help farmers reduce the negative impacts of the drought and to seek federal assistance. A copy of the EO can also be viewed online. Additionally, the EO instructed state agencies to work with Ohio’s farmers to minimize the potential environmental and economic impact of an agricultural drought. To this end, the Ohio Department of Agriculture, Ohio State University Extension and FSA will host a series of meetings in September at which the public can speak with experts on drought mitigation practices. The public meeting schedule can be viewed online at www.agri.ohio.gov.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 lage of Aberdeen to hold BCRWA harmless from any claims or actions by contractors, banks, bond companies, bond holders, consultants, engineers, IRS claims, Attorney fees, suit expense, court costs, resulting from the attempt to build a treatment plant. 4. Enactment of the appropriate and legally sufficient ordinances to sell the system. 5. Approval of voters and council of purchase agreement. 6. Acquisition by BCRWA of clear and unencumbered title to all assets contained in proposal including but not limited to income from water users unless agreed to by BCRWA. 7. Opinion by independent council that BCRWA is acquiring clear and unencumbered titles to the assets being purchased and clear and unencumbered right to income from water users except where BCRWA assumes in writing such lien encumbrance or obligation.” The council took no action after receiving the proposal. The Aberdeen Village Council is holding a general meeting on Sept. 18, where the proposal will presumably be discussed. There are a number of questions raised by the conditions included in the proposal. Condition number one requires approval by the Ohio Water Development Authority. In 2009 the village received a loan from that agency to purchase water meters. Former Village Solicitor Tresa Gossett told the village council earlier this year that the agreement with the OWDA prohibits selling the

water system except to another municipality, and that the loan cannot be paid off early. The loan still has 17 years to run. Satisfying condition number three would require the village to pay the costs of the lawsuit brought against it by Shinn Brothers Construction after the village halted the water plant. Shinn Brothers is asking for approximately $800,000. Other lawsuits resulting from the decision to halt construction of the water plant may be filed against the village in the near future. Condition number five appears to make a vote of village residents necessary before the proposal can be accepted. Such a vote would either have to be paid for by the village as a special election or the question would have to wait until March of next year to be placed on the primary ballot. New council member Jim Perraut was seated as a council member as the proposal was opened. Perraut was named to fill the seat of Joe Sprague, who resigned month. Perraut was chosen for council by Mayor Harry Foxworthy because council did not appoint a successor within 30 days. Council did not have an opportunity to do so because the August 6 meeting was cancelled by Foxworthy after an internet threat to two council members. The regular council meeting began at 7:30, and moved quickly into executive session to discuss personnel and litigation. Village Clerk Bernice Jones resigned last month and her position has not been filled.

After approximately an hour, the regular session of council resumed and announced that a records retention committee would be formed, and it would include including Village Administrator Emily Henderson and Fiscal Officer Nathan Pfeffer. The meeting was then opened to public comment and quickly descended into contentious discussion regarding the stop work order on the water plant. Much of the discussion centered on whether citizens who attended the meeting had the right to speak without being on the agenda. On Wednesday, Eitel sent a statement to the media saying that it is a misconception that council meetings are considered be an open forum. “From past history you can see that I have always been an advocate for allowing the people in the audience to have their say and ask questions. I have in the last two years took repeated accusations and abuse from certain individuals that attend. These individuals have shown that they do not have valid questions or suggestions, their sole purpose is to personally attack me and other members of council.” Eitel wrote. “As you are aware these meetings are supposed to be council meetings. Meetings where we can try to conduct the business of the village. Business that is not getting conducted in its entirety because of interruptions and misinformation.” Following the public discussion, Council Member Jay Castle moved that work on the water plant resume. His motion was seconded by Council Member Jerry Applegate, but it was voted down 4-2.

Hundreds enjoy Kinkead Ridge Winery vineyard tours, tasting CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Barrett, Winegrower and Engineer and Nancy Bentley, Managing Partner. “It was a very successful event for us at Kinkead Ridge Winery,” said Bentley, “for two days, eight hours a day, people from all over filled our winery to purchase our newly release wines and get a sneak taste of our 2011 sweet Traminette, a white wine.” Just recently Kinkead Ridge Winery was chosen to represent Ohio wine makers in Arthur Frommer’s Budget Travel Magazine Food and Wine issue. “Kinkead Ridge is an estate wine,” Bentley added, “We produce limited quantities of award-winning, internationally-recognized, ultra-premium estate-bottled wine. “Our vineyards, with a 925 foot elevation drainage to the Ohio River here in Ripley and outstanding unglaciated limestone terroir has consistently produced excellent wines.” Tours through the vineyard allowed visitors to taste the sweet grapes right off the vines. “On Labor Day we introduce our red wines each

year,” she said, “and on Memorial Day weekend, we introduce our white wines to the public.” Kinkead Ridge has been featured in 1000 Great Everyday Wines from the World’s Best Wineries as well as featured in the internationally published wine reference book, Opus Vino. The winery has also been featured on PBS Television, the Wall Street Journal, Foder’s Guide to Ohio and Kevin Zraly’s American Wine guide. “We are very proud of how far we’ve come,” Bentley said, ‘In 2008 our Cabernet Franc won a Jefferson Cup (only 20 awarded to a

field of over 600 wines.) “Also, a Cabernet Franc and a Vlognler/Roussanne were chosen by Tom Stevenson, international wine writer and editor of the New Sotheby’s Wine Encyclopedia, as two of the top 100 exciting wine finds in the world.” The Kinkead Ridge Winery has two labels, its ultra premium Kinkead Ridge label and a River Village Cellars label for everyday value-priced wines. Kinkead Ridge wines are available in fine wine stores, restaurants and selected grocery stores throughout Ohio. The winery website is www.kinkeadridge.com.

September’s list of gardening tasks CMYK

BY Faye Mahaffey Master Gardner Volunteer After weeks of hot and dry weather, I finally heard the welcome sound of rain on the roof this morning! I had put off picking tomatoes for a carry-in and actually had to put on my rubber boots to squish through the mud. The cooler temperatures remind us that fall is really just around the corner. One of my friends complained to me that she really felt like she had been cheated out of summer. The weather had been too hot to spend outside in her flower beds and vegetable garden. I agreed and added that I was certainly glad that I hadn’t planned any big projects this summer. The herbs on my deck have certainly baked in the sun this season and will enjoy a few cool rainy days. Harvesting herbs is one of my favorite garden chores. After deciding to move all my herbs closer to the house, I find it less of a hassle to add fresh herbs to meals. This week the garlic chives have burst into bloom for a second time. My whiskey barrel is full of lemon thyme, onion chives (A. schoenoprasum), and garlic chives (A. tuberosum). The leaves of Garlic Chives taste more like a combination of chives and garlic, and are more flat than round. The flowers begin to bloom begin to bloom in summer, in white, star-like clusters at the top of long, round stems which are strong and tough and not suitable eating. I enjoy blending the leaves of the Onion Chives and Garlic Chives, chopping them finely and adding them to omelets, steamed vegetables, salads, etc. Some of my favorite herb books include: Herb Gardening for the Midwest, Herbs, Their Cultivation and Usage, and A Grower’s Guide to Herbs. Also don’t forget to check the OSUE website, ohioline.osu.edu, for information on growing, selecting, storing and using fresh herbs.

resilient Lady rockets earn hard fought win BY Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press

two. North Adams took an early lead and fended off many Lady Rocket runs. They pushed their lead to as many as four early on, 11-7, before McKenna Hammons took the serve for the Lady Rockets. quickly Hammons served two aces, around a Lady Devil illegal hit, to get Fayetteville back within one, 11-10. It stayed tight until, with the score 23-22 in favor of the visitors, Abby Louden

began to assert herself once again. The six foot plus do-itall setter and hitter for the Lady Devils got the final two points -- a kill off a spike at the net and a tap over the Lady Rockets blockers -- of the game. Sheets knew what Louden, who was on top of her game from the very beginning, could do from playing her in the past and throughout the summer, but it seemed to take the Lady Rockets a little time to ad-

just to her play. “Let Abby have her hits. She can’t do every one of them,” Sheets said of Louden. “And we dug up a lot of them. If she gets one on ya, she gets one on ya. It’s okay.” The 25-22 win in game three gave the Lady Devils a two games to one advantage heading into the fourth game. Thanks to a kill from Lincoln Smyth, who had a team best 13, and an ace from server Gabby Valentine, the Lady Rockets got off to a solid 3-0 start. But things quickly went downhill. A couple of what were

rare errors in the match from the Lady Rockets, combined with three Lady Devil kills, quickly allowed the visitors to take a 7-3 lead that forced Sheets to call timeout. The Lady Rockets broke Karly Boerger’s serve after the timeout but never could really dent the lead. Finally, with Sydney Sheets taking the serve with the Lady Rockets trailing 18-15, things seemed to change. That change seemed to be initiated by Lady Rockets hitter Carly Burroughs. She had spent the entire match following Louden where ever she went and, at a crucial time, the sophomore made two big plays. A Burroughs kill and block of Louden on backto-back plays got the Lady Rockets within one, 18-17. Though they lost the serve, Burroughs plays seemed to change the direction of the game.

“I think Carly is not intimidated at all by anyone,” Sheets said. “She is the one who will be put in front of the biggest hitter on every team because of that mentality. There is no dying in her. There’s no giving up.” The same thing could be said about the entire Lady Rockets team. With the momentum squarely back on Fayetteville’s side, they quickly took the lead. Three straight Lady Devil errors with Syndey Wolfer at the serve gave the Lady Rockets a 22-20 lead. Fayetteville forced two more Lady Devil mistakes and suddenly they had recovered to take the fourth game, and force a fifth, with a 25-21 win. The Lady Rockets got off to a quick start in the final game thanks to two Valentine service aces but, again, the Lady Devils fought back. CONTINUED ON PAGE 16

McAfee, watson win Jim neu Invitational race titles BY Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press It was a pretty successful night for local cross country runners at the Jim Neu Invitational at Western Brown High School on Wednesday evening even if the weather tried to mess things up. With the threat of severe weather approaching, the officials at Western Brown High School made changes to the original schedule to ensure each race would be completed before the weather could arrive. The biggest change was that the boys and girls ran the race together. Every high school runner, boys and girls, started at the same time and ran the course that looped around Western Brown High School and Mt. Orab Elementary before finishing inside Kibler Stadium together. The changes didn’t seem to bother the local runners who participated.

The calender may say it was the first week of September and just the second week of the season, but the play of the Fayetteville and North Adams volleyball teams on Tuesday night certainly made it feel like it was the second week of October. The teams played a five game marathon match that saw both teams playing at a high level much of the night. Neither team won a game by more than four points. While the Lady Devils took an early lead, two games to one, and looked to be heading for a match clinching fourth game victory, the Lady Rockets refused to give in. They fought back from a four point deficit late in the fourth game and won before, again, battling back in the fifth, and deciding, set to take a 3-2 match victory. The Lady Rockets won 22-25, 27-25, 22-25, 25-21 and 15-11. “It was quite a spectacular showing of both teams,” Fayetteville coach Sharon Sheet said after the marathon match. “The team that wanted it, won it. You know? Not giving them any type of negatives but when we needed it, we got it.” The teams split the first two games in very similar fashions. Each got out to an early lead that they were able to keep as the other made runs towards the lead. The third game started off very similar to the first

Tigers run past depleted rockets football squad

CMyK

BY Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press In what may be a bit of an understatement -- okay, a fairly big understatement -- things haven’t gone very well for the Fayetteville football team so far this season. Though the season may be just two weeks old, the Rockets are beginning to feel like they can’t catch a break. Numerous injuries from the time practice began in late July have depleted a roster that wasn’t very deep or experienced to begin with. Those injuries -- which include the two suffered at Bethel-Tate last Friday night -- have impacted how much the young and inexperienced Rockets can practice and force many of them to never come off the field during games. And in that game last Friday at Bethel, a depleted Rockets squad started slow and simply couldn’t recover as they lost their second game of the season, 39-6. “(We) came out kind of flat and played (that way) the whole way,” Rockets coach Harley McCullough said afterwards. “(We) just gave up too much, too early. “(We) had a few good points on offense but not a lot. We’ve lost so many players already. Lost two -one before in pregame and then Andrew (Dowers). It’s been a rough one. Been a rough one.” The Tigers wasted little time establishing themselves against the visiting Rockets. They took the opening kickoff and marched right through the Rockets defense on a six play, 59 yard drive that was punctuated by a 10-yard touchdown run by junior running back Blace Haviland. The drive seemed to set the tone for the night as the Tigers would got on to to score on their first four possessions of the night. The Rockets looked to be putting together a nice drive of their own on their second possession already down 13-0 late in the opening quarter before it derailed. An 11-yard pass from freshman quarterback Cole Schaefer to tight end Trevor Koch and two Cody Shaw runs gave the Rock-

ets back-to-back first downs before a Bethel sack eventually forced the Rockets to punt. “We felt that we came out and we were flat from the very beginning and just didn’t play well,” McCullough said. Bethel’s Austin Iker then capped off the Tiger’s next possession with a 19-yard touchdown run to give the Tigers a 20-0 lead with about nine minutes left before halftime. Then, if it was possible, things got worse. On the ensuing kickoff, the Rockets had trouble corralling the ball, as they did all night long with freshman Schaefer and Caleb Dowers back to return. When the the kickoff stopped inside the 10 yard line, Schaefer picked it up and tried to make something out of it but before he could get far he was hit and fumbled the ball. Bethel’s Blake Norris recovered at the Rocket 12 yard line and the Tigers scored four plays later to take a 26-0 lead with a little over six and a half minutes left before halftime. “We can give up a score but when we’re giving them up boom-boom, it just makes it tough for us to come back,” McCullough said. “It’s hard. The kids are getting a little down and we’re trying to keep them up. It’s hard to really keep it going here. You start getting guys injured then... our

guys are tired. They’re playing a lot.” Despite it all, the Rockets didn’t give up. In fact, they finally broke through late in the first half and scored. On a second down and 11 play from the their own 43 yard line, Schaefer took the snap, faked a handoff to fullback Nate Allen and took off up the middle. The 57-yard touchdown run made it 32-6 with 2:20 left in the first half. But that was as close as the Rockets would get. They kept fighting but simply couldn’t get any closer. As frustrating as the loss was, it wasn’t nearly as frustrating as how things have gone for the Rockets this season. Injuries continue to pile up -- including Scott Mullis getting hurt before the game and Andrew Dowers during the game -- and the Rockets, despite obvious signs of ability, struggle to move on to the next week. They will likely only have somewhere between 18-20 players available this week and will, as it has been all year long, not be able to work on things fully in practice. “You can do some individual stuff but it’s so hard not getting the whole look at the run offense and the run defense against a full team,” McCullough said. He added, “It makes it tough. It’s like, what else can go wrong?”

G-Men play well but come up just short at Batavia BY Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press Judging simply by their performance on the field, it sure seemed like the Georgetown boys soccer team had done exactly what it had been prepared to do since offseason workouts. The G-Men went to Batavia last Thursday night determined to knock the Southern Buckeye Conference-National Division juggernaut Bulldogs off their perch and certainly seemed to have played well enough to do it. Except that the G-Men suffered their first loss of the season against the Bulldogs, 3-2. And the G-Men had just one culprit to blame after the game -- their struggles finishing strong runs and attacks with good shots. Despite having a 10-3 advantage on shots on goal, the G-Men simply couldn’t find net on a night where they seemed to be the better team. “Sometimes the best team doesn’t win. It happens all the time,” Malone said after the game. “It’s not the amount of opportunities, it’s taking advantage of them. “Finish your opportunities and limit theirs. We limited theirs but didn’t finish ours.” The G-Men got the ball rolling on what became a fast paced and entertaining first half of soccer a little over six minutes in. Logan Lucas was trying to make something happen for the G-Men in the box when Batavia keeper Chris Bourque came out to stop a G-Men shot. Lucas tried to play the ball and it distracted Bourque enough that he couldn't corral a loose ball and it went right to G-Men

teammate Austin Carrington. He had a free shot off the rebound and nailed to give Georgetown an early 1-0 lead. The goal seemed to awaken the Bulldogs because over the next 10 minutes they began to attack more and more until finally, with 26:58 left in the half, their pressure forced the G-Men into a mistake -- an own goal that tied the score at one apiece. With the game tied at one, the teams were seemingly making runs one after the other as they tried to get opportunities at the net. Batavia finally broke through, again, with 15:36 left in the half. Jake Greiner scored off of a corner to give the Bulldogs the lead, 2-1. “(In) the first half, communication was a breakdown,” Malone said of how the goals scored. The G-Men wasted little time responding. A little less than four minutes later, with 11:44 left in the half, Carrington - the team’s leader in goals with with six on the season -- scored the equalizer off a nice hustle play and great cross from fellow forward Brandon Tucker. The G-Men weren’t done yet, however, as Tucker got on a run up the field just minutes later and looked to have given the visitors the lead when he lifted one over Bourque’s head that looked destined for the corner of the net. It was not to be, though, as the shot went just to the left of the goal post. In what seemed like a quick reversal of fortune, the Bulldogs took advantage of a G-Men mistake on defense and took the lead just minutes later. Batavia forward Neil Wilson got behind the

Georgetown defense on a throw in and let go of a shot that G-Men keeper Layne Lucas couldn’t grab. The goal gave the Bulldogs a 3-2 lead with five and a half minutes left before halftime. “We just take 15 seconds off at a time and it kills us,” Malone said of Wilson’s goal. From the outset of the second half, the G-Men were the aggressors. Carrington used his speed and athleticism to get off two good looks at the net in the first 10 minutes alone but couldn’t finish either. In fact, Carrington earned a lot of good looks in the second half. He had three more shots on goal in the final 30 minutes that, either thanks to a great play by Bourque or a shot that was just a little off, didn’t find net. “The only thing we’ve done at practice Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday is finishing,” Malone said. “We get plenty of shots but we just can’t find the back of the net right now.” But it wasn’t just Carrington who got looks at the net in the half. With 6:20 left in the game, Tucker put a cross on a perfect line to teammate Jesse Steinman, who headed it towards the goal. Again, Bourque got a hand on it and pushed it out for a Georgetown corner. But that was the last real threat for the G-Men. Despite the effort, particularly in the second half, the G-Men came up short. And it made certain that the G-Men would already be circling the Oct. 4 rematch date in Georgetown. “I just told them,” Malone said after the game, “you win out from (here) and you’ll play for a league championship that night.”

Lady G-Men put up good effort but just don’t have enough for Batavia BY Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press The score may not have reflected it but the Georgetown girls soccer team didn’t play all that bad last Thursday night at Batavia. Battling a team with plenty of depth and skill, the Lady G-Men gave all that they had despite several disadvantages. Among the things keeping the Lady G-Men in a disadvantageous position was a short roster decimated by injuries and a lack of much experience not only at the varsity level but also with soccer. So battling an undefeated, and talented, Lady Bulldog team so early in the season was going to be an enormous task. The Lady G-Men put up a solid effort as they played strong defense and got on a few runs up field early in the game. But as the game wore on and the Lady G-Men wore down, the Lady Bulldogs began to pull away for what was a 6-0 win. Afterwards, Lady G-Men coach Ashley Silvis-Corbin was happy with the effort her team gave. “My girls gave a good effort. I have, I think, four returning starters. I have about four or five first year players,” she said. “All these girls play all year round. My girls don’t. I have one player who plays all year round. So it was difficult but they gave all they had and that’s all I can ask.” Early on the G-Men played pretty evenly with the Lady Bulldogs. While the hosts may have held possession for much of the time, the Lady G-Men defense did a solid job keeping them from getting good looks at the net. With 29:12 left in the half, however, the Lady Bulldogs got on the board. Batavia’s Gabby Bond got behind the Lady G-Men defense and beat keeper Amanda Varney for a goal to make it 1-0. Though the Lady Bulldogs took the lead, the Lady G-Men didn’t lay down. In fact, they began to find some attacks themselves. Freshman forward Cheyenne Dunseith got the Lady G-Men a corner just

minutes after Bond scored her goal thanks to a strong effort around a Batavia defender. On the corner, Sarah Houston got her head on the ball but it was just wide of the net. Minutes later, Dunseith got a shot off that Batavia keeper Dawn Goodspeed grabbed. She was set up by a strong effort and pass from teammate Becca Whitaker. Still just a 1-0 game, the Lady Bulldogs put some distance between themselves and the Lady G-Men late in the half. Goals from Alex Young and Mackenzie Fisler gave the 3-0 lead at the half. On the Fisler’s goal, the third of the game with 4:20 left before half, Varney was hurt. It looked like she was ran through as Fisler tried to get to the rebound and put it back in. She had to be helped off the field for what Silvis-Corbin said was a knee injury. Not only was it tough for Varney, a senior who helped out the team by taking over the keeper duties despite having no experience, it will be another obstacle for the Lady G-Men to overcome. “We haven’t practiced anyone at keeper,” SilvisCorbin said. “(Varney’s) our only keeper. We didn’t have

a backup keeper. It was basically, I said, someone volunteer for keeper. Whoever volunteers is who will play.” Freshman Lauren Baker took over for Varney in the goal and didn’t play all that bad considering she hadn’t played in the net before. The Lady G-Men would give up three more goals in the second half as they wore down -- the coach said she only plays 11 players at this point because of injuries and would have played only 11 if not for two yellow cards and Varney’s injury -but Silvis-Corbin reiterated her girls gave it everything they had. . “I was happy with the girls playing time. I really was,” she said. “I thought they did good.” The loss dropped the Lady G-Men to 2-2 (1-2 SBC-National Division). They had previously beaten North Adams (4-0) and league foe Williamsburg (10). It’s not that bad of a start considering the Lady GMen are still trying to put all their pieces together. “As hard as it is, I think the girls have really pushed themselves from the beginning of the season until now,” Silvis-Corbin said. “They’ve pushed themselves and that’s all I can ask. They’ve never given up.”

the girls race in a time of 21:09.51. Her Lady G-Men teammates were right on her tail. Rachel Gibbons finished seventh with a time of 22:45.76 while Kelsey Crawford finished 13th, Becca Moe finished 20th and Courtney Wiechman finished 21st. Their strong combined effort helped the Lady GMen to earn the team runner-up trophy with 45 total points. They finished behind New Richmond, who had 31 points. The host Lady Broncos and the Lady Jays from Ripley each put up strong performances as well. Western Brown finished third overall as a team while Ripley was fourth.

Lady Rockets: Resiliency leads to win CONTINUED FROM PAGE 14 And, of course, it was Louden who helped the Lady Devils retake the lead. She took the ball at the service line with her team trailing 4-3 and, thanks to an illegal motion call on the Lady Rockets and an ace, gave the Lady Devils a 6-4 lead. The visitors kept that lead until Valentine stepped back up to the service line with the Lady Rockets trailing 11-10. Kills from Claire Carson and Burroughs, who had 11 on a night where she did a little bit of everything, quickly gave the Lady Rockets a 12-11 lead. Following a North Adams timeout, the Lady Rockets may have saved their best moment for the end. Hanging on to a one point lead, it looked as if a North Adams hit was going

to fall to the ground and break Valentine’s serve but the Lady Rockets front line simply wouldn’t allow it. After the first hit sent the ball into the net, Burroughs dove to save it. Her hit, too, went into the net. That wasn’t enough to derail the Lady Rockets, however. Smyth, in the cluster of Lady Rockets players, somehow got her hand on the ball and hit it over for the impossible save. When Louden couldn’t return it, her hit went into the net, there wasn’t any doubt who was in control. “That’s huge out of her,” Sheets said of Smyth. “That will give her a lot of confidence that she can do it.” She added, “Oh my gosh, that could have went and we could have went that way with the ball.” On a night where the only slight disappointment

Sheets had was her team’s serving, fittingly, it was just that which secured the win. Valentine, the team’s top server, finished the Lady Devils off with two more aces to secure the win. It was one of her seven on the night. “It was huge for her to be the one,” Sheets said of the aces. “She’s my main server. Everyone can serve but she can place the ball. She can eyeball who’s having troubles and can change it up on a whim.” Winning that match in a charged up atmosphere against a talented team had Sheets pretty excited after the match. “This is what we need when we go to make a tournament run,” Sheet said. “We’ve to play ball like that. And we’ve got to know that we have the confidence to do it and not give up.”

Quick start propels Broncos to win BY Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press It was a pretty good trip to Little Miami High School for the Western Brown football team last Friday night. An offense that rolled along like a well oiled machine combined with a defense that came up with key turnovers and stops helped the Broncos pick up their second win of the season, against no defeats, against the host Panthers, 42-21. “It was one of those games where everything clicked on offense matched with the defense getting some three and outs and some turnovers,” Western Brown coach Evan Dreyer said on Tuesday morning. While the Broncos got off to a strong start, they did find themselves in a tied game early in the first quarter due to a mistake on a running play. Little Miami’s Matt McDonald broke through a hole and was off to the races on for an 86-yard touchdown run that tied the score at seven early on. Dreyer said the play was able to happen because the Broncos called a blitz and two players over ran the play. That, however, was

about the only thing the Broncos didn’t do well against the Panthers. From that point on, the Broncos simply rolled. Thanks to two turnovers the defense collected -- an interception by Justin Longbottom and a fumble recovery by Jeremy Gould -- as well a big fourth down stop, the Broncos offense was set up in some good situations. And with quarterback Devyn Wood at the controls, they took advantage. The junior quarterback was 14-for-19 for 265 yards in the air with four touchdowns passes. He ran the ball an additional four times for 44 yards and another score. He found Christian Dawson, Jake Lawson (twice) and Pierce Moore for scoring strikes. While he said Wood was on top of his game against the Panthers, Dreyer first gave credit to his inexperienced offensive line. “(Wood) played really well but I have to say the pass protection was great,” Dreyer said. “Our offensive line really improved from week one to week two.” It wasn’t just Wood and his receivers who did all the Broncos damage on Friday night.

Gunnar Woodyard carried the ball 16 times for 68 yards and a touchdown. The combination of the effort of all those offensive stars, with the assist from a solid defensive effort, was enough that the Broncos went into halftime with a 35-7 lead. Getting out to a big lead was something that Dreyer and the Bronco coaches had hoped for because of Little Miami’s reliance on the running game. “Their passing game is improving but it’s in a developmental stage and we just felt like we needed to shut down their running game with a good running back,” he said. Another positive from the performance was that the Broncos young players continue to improve. Whether it was the inexperienced offensive line finding its groove or younger players on offense and defense feeling more comfortable, Dreyer saw the growth he had hoped to. “Solid win,” he said. “And I have to say, with our guys improving -- our sophomores improved from week one to week two -- with the experience part, it’ll be interesting to see how they improve from week two to week three.”

Highland County Fair a good memory With this being the 2nd Highland Co. Fair since I began covering Highland Co. Extension Ag and Natural Resources, this fair started off with some rain, but much better weather than last year. The first half of last year’s fair was rainy and cool if you remember. Last year we had received rain throughout the summer so it was not as welcome as it was this year. As I writing this on Tuesday morning, the weather conditions were somewhat cloudy, but not raining. I know people do not like a rainy fair week, but as dry as we have been in this part of the state, there were not many complaints about the rain that came last week.

Your pet and dental hygiene

Cats and dogs seldom develop tooth cavities, as humans do. However dogs and cats are not without a major dental problem! In fact, the most common dental problem that we find in pets is considered far worse than cavities. It is called periodontal disease. This disease affects the gums and other tissues around the teeth, instead of the teeth themselves. About 75 percent of all dental problems serious enough to be seen by a veterinarian, (and almost all teeth lost), are the result of periodontal disease. It is the cause of 95 percent of all cases of “bad breath.” In advanced cases, it results in infected, foul-smelling, loosened teeth; with a massive, unsightly accumulation of tartar. Often there is a loss of appetite due to painful gums. Even signs such as diarrhea, vomiting, and irritability may be the result of this disease. Food material, bacteria, and saliva accumulate and adhere to the tooth surface, forming a soft “plaque.” This material can be easily removed at this point. However, if buildup is allowed to continue, it becomes hard and “chalk-like” from its mineral content. The tartar buildup causes erosion of the gums, with subsequent inflammation and infection of the tooth socket. The teeth then become loose, and may even fall out. The gums become reddened, swollen, and bleed easily. Your pet will often salivate excessively from the associated pain. The buildup of this material allows bacteria to constantly grow in the infected mouth tissue. These bacteria may enter the bloodstream through the bleeding gums; and cause such problems as heart valve infections (endocarditic) and kidney infections. This condition becomes very painful for your pet and will cause unpleasant mouth odor. Rapid buildup of tartar is primarily due to acidity of the saliva – not what your pet eats! The more acid the saliva (‘spit’) – the quicker the buildup of plaque. Follow these tips for good oral hygiene:

DAN MEAKIN CREATURE FEATURE

• Feed at least some hard food, which will provide a cleaning action. Prescription Diet t/d is available for both dogs and cats and can be used as a treat every day. Friskies now has an adult cat food available at the grocery store to help keep teeth clean. • Have teeth examined at least once every year for tartar buildup. Pets vary considerably in the amount of tartar that accumulates. • Use a pet dentifrice on a regular basis. We will be happy to recommend what is best for your pet. CET Chews are available for both dogs and cats. Pet toothpaste is available. Human toothpaste should not be used as it can be toxic if swallowed by your pet. These recommendations will probably do more to extend your pet’s life and make it more enjoyable than anything else you can do! Dental Care Protocol • As a practice we feel that pets need preventative dental care. • Dental disease is one of the most neglected pet health needs.

CMYK

District 9 weekly travel report

• Puppies and kittens can become accustomed to proper dental care by periodic brushing. • Halitosis (bad smelling breath) is an obvious sign of dental disease. • Dental disease will shorten a pet’s life. • Periodontal disease is the most common in older dogs and cats. • A dental exam is an important part of every physical. • Older pets (over 5 years old) should in general receive a dental exam every year and should have blood work done before sedation. • Feline or canine T/D diet can help prevent the incidence of dental disease in pets. • Daily to biweekly brushing is the most effective prevention. • You can add 2 years to a pet’s life simply by keeping its mouth clean. A dental prophy for every pet can reduce pain from an infected mouth and bad breath. Dental care will save money in the future by helping prevent heart/kidney infections and possible human health hazards (kids placing hands in eyes after touching the pet’s mouth).

By all accounts that I gathered, our first day was extremely organized and smooth. Mr. Alan Lindner, our Transportation Supervisor, had the majority of problems to deal with mainly due to the fact that we reduced one bus route for this school year as a part of our cost reduction plan for this year. It always takes a couple of days to work out these kinks, and this school year probably won’t be any different. As of the end of the day on August 24, our total enrollment for grades K-12 stands at 1039 students.

Our Parent Teacher Conference Night on August 15 was extremely successful. Did you know that 88% of our high school students/parents attended this event to meet their teachers and to pick up their schedules? That’s outstanding! I visited all 3 buildings during Open House and found them all to be teeming with anxious and smiling faces. I was overwhelmed by the level of interest in academics and our educational programs as a whole. Many thanks to all who attended Back-toSchool Night. Together, we must push and guide your children to the next levels of higher learning, and we need our parents to be with us each and every step of the way. Now, unfortunately, I have to share with you some news that isn’t so good. As you know, the 2012 Local Report Cards for Ohio’s School Districts have not yet been released for a couple of reasons. First, the Value Added component has not yet been infused into each school’s data. Second, the State is still conducting an investigation into alleged cheating by some schools with their attendance rates. As of right now, we really don’t know what our final ranking will be. We do know that we earned 15 out of 26 academic indicators. This isn’t good enough! As a staff, we are not proud or pleased with these numbers. We have great teachers and equally great students. This year, we will be focusing on getting these two groups of people on the same common goal or track. We will all be working smarter. We will be incorporating new strategies and techniques in our instruction. And, we will start turning our numbers upward this school year. Once again parents, we need you to help us accomplish this task with your support and encouragement throughout the year. We are partners in this process. Our students are depending on us to form a strong partnership that promotes higher and higher

learning so they may be more successful when they are adults. Finally, the RULH Board of Education met in regular session on Tuesday, August 21. Their major task for that evening was to interview interested applicants for the recently vacated Board of Education seat. In all, the seated Board member interviewed 5 applicants. Any of them could have been appointed. They all spoke of wanting to promote student learning and helping our students. In the end, the Board voted to appoint Mr. Barry Sims to serve in the seat vacated with the resignation of Mr. Rick Scott. Mr. Sims was sworn into office following his appointment, and participated in the business portion of the Board meeting. I would ask that our community as a whole give Mr. Sims your support and encouragement. On behalf of the Board of Education, I want to extend our thanks publicly to the other four applicants, Mr. Jay Castle, Mr. Ben Davis, Mr. Dan Kirk and Dr. Terry Thomas for their willingness to step forth and to serve if selected. Your support is greatly appreciated. As I close this article, I encourage all of you to visit our District website. Watch the 5 minute video presented by the Ohio Department of Education on “Higher Expectations for a Brighter Future”. This is the first of two such videos that we will be sharing with you over the next few weeks. In order for you to know how you can help us, or to know how the educational landscape is changing, you must first know something about what your child is going to be expected to do by 2014-15. Together, we can accomplish great things. Thank you for allowing the RULH Schools the opportunity to work with you and your child. Have a great school year! If you have any questions about this article, please feel free to contact me at 937392-4396. Thank you.

Eastern Middle School teachers win $5,000 LEE Academic Project Grant Dr. J.W. Lee, in conjunction with the Brown County Educational Service Center, is continuing his support of education in Brown County schools by not only funding the LEE Excellence in Education Award, but also by funding a $5,000 academic achievement grant. During the last few months, several teachers and teacher teams across the county have applied for the LEEAP (Lee Academic Project) Grant. Three readers from outside of the county scored each of the grants. Based on points earned, the 2012-13 Grant will be awarded to Eastern

Middle School Teachers Vickie S. Badley, Sandy Tracy and their principal Rob Beucler. Eastern Middle School’s grant is entitled Civil War Days. Civil War Days addresses a problem that many teachers in our classrooms face today-how to encourage creative thinking, increase the rigor or our curriculum and prepare our students for the high stakes testing they will encounter. As a result of this grant Eastern Middle School will be creating units that will allow their students to be tested in the classroom using not only standardized tests

and research reports, but will also incorporate debate, oral presentations with visual aids and the creation of a living interactive civil war exhibit. Students will have the opportunity to interact with their learning through the application of this grant. Vickie and Sandy will be gathering data throughout the year and will present their findings through a short presentation at the All County Board Banquet held in Spring of 2013. They will also be showing a short video at the Brown County In-Service in the Fall of 2013.

UC Clermont and Milacron launch Machinist Pilot Training Program in manufacturing Unique partnership launches careers / revitalizes region’s manufacturing legacy

RULH students give speeches

As the result of a unique collaboration, UC Clermont College and Milacron Plastics Technologies Group LLC (Milacron) are pleased to announce a machinist training pilot program beginning September 4, 2012. The program is designed to train workers in advanced manufacturing skills and provide them with hands-on experience, tools and payment for their time. The program will be conducted in a newly renovated facility near UC Clermont College’s UC East campus which was a former Ford manufacturing plant. “We are excited about this collaborative partnership with Milacron. Our new Manufacturing Technology Center will enable us to become the first choice of southwest Ohio manufacturers who need a trained workforce as they expand their operations,” said UC Clermont College Dean Greg Sojka. The 15-week customized certificate program will be

tested and refined with a small group of trainees. To support their training, Milacron hired these trainees and they receive paychecks throughout the course of the one-semester program. Upon completion of the program, these workers transfer to fulltime work at Milacron’s Mt. Orab, Ohio plant. "We've had a tough time finding skilled machinists," says Milacron CEO Dennis Smith. "A real skills gap exists in manufacturing today. We decided it was time to look for innovative solutions." This program demonstrates a push, on behalf of both organizations, to revitalize the eastern corridor of Southwestern Ohio. The region has a long history of manufacturing, and this pilot program seeks to extend this legacy by creating sustainable career paths for the people who call this region home. “People who live in Brown County and the surrounding area don’t have anything like this,” said Melissa Wink, Milacron’s Director of Corporate Communications and External Relations. “This is a first-ofits-kind endeavor in our region to help set individuals on the path toward long-

term, well-paying, fulfilling manufacturing careers.” Students in the program will take classes in CAD, Lean Manufacturing, Principles of Machining and Shop Floor Mathematics. These courses can be directly applied to an associate’s degree program through the University of Cincinnati. In turn, that associate's degree can be directly applied towards a Bachelor of Applied Administration - a unique educational opportunity for employees who may want to move into management positions. Milacron believes the potential impact of this program is far greater than training ten new employees. The company sees this pilot program as having the ability to develop a training platform that can not only create a pipeline of skilled workers for Milacron, but can be accessed by other local manufacturers in years to come. The partnership is wellsuited to Milacron's strong presence in southwestern Ohio with two of its largest production facilities located in Batavia and Mt. Orab. Over 800 of Milacron's 2,800-plus world-wide employees reside within the Greater Cincinnati / Eastern corridor area.
