Gabbards theft suspects arrested

BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press Two men are in the Clermont County Jail who are considered “persons of interest” in the Gabbard Ford break-in over the weekend.

A Mustang G-T, an F-150 pickup and approximately $50 thousand dollars worth of tools and other property were taken.

Both vehicles were recovered in Clermont County within hours of the theft.

“We feel significant progress has been made in solving the Gabbard break-in” said Mt. Orab Police Lt. Josh Black.

The two men were arrested in Clermont County after a foot chase.

Black was notified by investigators after the two began talking.

“They were pretty certain that the guys who broke into Gabbard’s Ford were staying at the Greenbriar Motel”, said Black.

Black, Mt. Orab Police Chief Bryan Mount and other officers went to the motel with the names of the suspects and and found the wife of one of them.

“In talking with her, we located what appeared to be several items of stolen property in the room”, said Black.

BCSO Det. Buddy Moore (left) and Mt. Orab Police Chief Bryan Mount gather information at the Greenbriar Motel.

The deal to sell the Brown County Regional Hospital is nearly complete.

The asset purchase agreement is scheduled to be presented to the hospital board of trustees on Monday, April 11.

Board of Trustees Chairman Eric Sontag said the agreement is the culmination of months of negotiations.

“We’ve been working on this thing for a long time and we’re almost to the finish line”, Sontag said.

Brown County Board of Commissioners President Ralph Jennings echoed those sentiments.

“This has been a long process and I’m pleased that it seems to be approaching a successful completion”, Jennings said.

Jennings added that his mind had not been made up whether to approve the sale in any way.

He said he plans to review the document carefully to make sure the deal is in the best interest of the citizens of Brown County before he signs it.

Commissioners Rick Eagan and Bill Geschwind both expressed similar views.

Drug treatment funds coming soon $16 million in road construction coming

BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press

More money is coming to Brown County to help fight prescription drug abuse.

Steve Duncan, Director of the Brown County Alcohol, Drug Addiction and Mental Health (ADAMH) board, said that $125,000 would be coming to Brown County from the state.

The local board will also provide $34,000 for a total of $159,000 to be spent on the program.

Duncan said the funds would be used to provide vocational training to severely mentally

disabled and addicted individuals.

“This will help local people go back to work. Many of them have some job skills so they can reenter the workforce once they have addressed their addiction”, Duncan said.

Duncan praised the increased funding, but added that addiction is not a short term problem.

“Right now, we’re getting an appropriate response from the state, but this is going to be a long term issue. Everyone needs to be ready to deal with that reality.”

He also pointed out that House Bill 93, which is

designed to help fight prescription drug addiction in a number of ways, had passed the Ohio house and was expected to be approved by the Ohio Senate.

Ohio Governor John Kasich announced last week that $36 million in new funds to help Ohioans addicted to prescription drugs would be spent statewide.

Kasich made the announcement at a prescription drug abuse summit of drug addiction, health care and criminal justice professionals.

“Prescription drug abuse and addiction is an epidemic that I’ve taken head on. It’s killing

people, killing families and killing communities. Corrupt doctors are preying on people and too many people are looking the other way. We’re going to bring it to an end and I’ve taken a number steps to crack down on this crime. We also need to help those who’ve fallen into the grips of addiction so they can get treatment and get back to work, and that’s what these funds do. This is a good day for treatment. We’re bringing more hope to people who need it,” said Kasich in a press release.

Lung cancer responding to experimental treatment

Tina Meranda gets second chance at life

BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press Tina Meranda has been fighting lung cancer since February of 2008.

Two years later, in February of 2010, it seemed like the cancer was winning.

“I didn’t think she would make it to our anniversary on March 11”, said her husband Seth.

But help was coming.

Seth had been fighting to get Tina an experimental drug, one that was showing remarkable progress and bringing cancer patients back from the brink.

The only problem...it worked for only about four percent of the people afflicted with the type of lung cancer Tina has.

The drug is called Crizotinib, and it attacks lung cancer cells at a genetic

level...and patients have to be carriers of the ALK gene for it to work.

Seth found out about it after spending desperate hours searching for alternatives as Tina kept slowly slipping away.

“Our Oncologist told us

there was nothing more that could be done”, Tina said.

Seth found out about Crizotinib online and grabbed onto the sliver of hope with both hands.

Tina was tested for the ALK CONTINUED ON PAGE 12

Sun Group NEWSPAPERS

BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press The Ohio Department of Transportation has 15 projects planned for Brown County this year.

The total cost of the projects is expected to top 15 million dollars.

The largest project is a resurfacing of US 62/68 from Ripley north until the two highways split.

That work is expected to cost $5.4 million dollars and is expected to begin on Monday.

The estimated completion date is October 31, 2011.

In addition to the repaving work, crews will repair the bridge at the 11 mile marker between Hartman and Gardner roads.

ODOT said in a press release that at least one lane of traffic

will remain open in both directions for the duration of the project.

The other multi-million dollar project is a bridge replacement on White Oak Valley Road.

That project is estimated to cost approximately $2.2 million dollars and be completed July 31, 2012.

Extensive road work will be necessary in the area to complete construction of the new bridge, which will be much larger than the current span.

Other projects include resurfacing US 68 from just north of Wahlsburg to OH 125 and State Route 505 from 756 to Higginsport.

That project is estimated to cost $1.3 million dollars and be complete by Oct. 31, 2011.

Alvin Norris, executive director of the Adams and Brown Counties Economic Opportunities, Inc., said he and his staff are preparing for inevitable cuts to community services now provided by ABCAP (Adams, Brown Community Action Program).

Norris said cuts to Community Service Block Grant (CSBG) funds will have the biggest impact on Abcap.

At least 95 percent of federal CSBG funds go to local agencies such as ABCAP. But the funds must be used within specific guidelines.

“The Community service Block Grant allows us to have the money to apply for leverage dollars or matching fund money,” Norris said.

“Senior nutrition programs always have less money. In Brown County our portion is about 40 percent of levy funds.

It’s a 5-year levy and it’s in it’s

third year. But the demand for this money has just about doubled in the last three years.

Before that levy passed, we were about $40 to $50 thousand in the hole.”

Established in 1965, ABCAP has the distinction of being the first “CAP” agency in Ohio to be funded by the U.S. Office of Economic Opportunity.

Adams Brown The Community Action Program offers Head Start programs, energy assistance programs including the Summer Crisis Program (SCP) and the Winter Crisis Program (WCP) formerly known as HEAP. It offers the Help Me Grow and the Every Child Succeeds program as well as the Adams Brown Recycling Station. The Senior Nutrition program is especially designed for seniors sixty years of age or older and the Meals on Wheels program.

ous to me that they are right in many ways. We do not take care of what we have!”

Renchen went on to talk about the many buildings, structures and equipment have never been taken care of properly and maintained the way they should be.

“We don’t take care of things then we make the residents of Aberdeen pay for everything that the prior council and the council now has let go,” Renchen continued.

“We put the burden on the residents to build this $2.7 million waste water treatment plant and we can’t even take care of the water and sewer plant and equipment that we have now. That’s the real reason these citizens are expressing their concerns now. And that’s my concern too.”

He told the residents and council that they all want to push the blame on to someone else, but it was time to take the bull by the horns and take

care of what they have.

Renchen went on to say that things were going to change and preventive maintenance as well as scheduled maintenance plans would be put in place.

Council went on to discuss who would actually operate and maintain the new wastewater treatment plant after it was built.

Ed Kidston, consultant for Artesian of Pioneer, the firm handling the construction of the new plant was in attendance of the April 4 council meeting and assured them that a certified operator for the facility could be hired for approximately $18,000 a year.

“This operator will be certified to keep the plant in good condition at all times,” Kidston said.

The complaints from the residents stemmed from the reading of the minutes from the previous March 21 meeting when council passed the

On Sept. 3, 2010 a grand jury indicted Eric S. Gay on two counts of Trafficking in Heroin equal or exceeding one gram but less than five grams with specifications that the offenses were committed in the vicinity of a juvenile, felonies of the third degree. He was also indicted in count three of Aggravated Trafficking in Drugs, Morphine, with a specification that the offense was committed in the vicinity of a juvenile, a felony of the third degree.

Upon a motion by the state prior to trial, the Court ordered that count two of the indictment be changed to a felony of the fourth degree due to the weight of the heroin being less than one gram.

On March 31, a petit jury found Gay guilty of count one Trafficking in Heroin with the specification. The jury found Gay guilty of the second count of Trafficking in Heroin but not guilty of

the specification lowering the offense to a fifth degree felony. The jury found Gay not guilty of count three Aggravated Trafficking in Drugs with the specification that the offense was committed in the vicinity of a juvenile.

Brown County Court of Common Pleas Judge Scott T. Gusweiler sentenced Gay following the verdict. Judge Gusweiler sentenced Gay to four years in prison on count one Trafficking in Heroin and one year in prison on count two to run consecutive with the sentence in count one.

At the time of this offense, Gay was on post release control with the Adult Parole Authority for a prior criminal offense.

Judge Gusweiler terminated Gay’s post release control and ordered him to serve the remaining 771 days remaining on his prior sentence. These days are to run consecutive to his commitment in the current case. In addition to his prison sentence, Gay must pay a $5000 fine plus court costs. Judge Gusweiler further notified Gay that he is subject to three years post release control by the Adult Parole Authority upon his release from prison.

Wainscott sentenced to prison In February, the grand jury indicted Michelle Wainscott on count one of Illegal Assembly or Possession of Chemicals for the Manufacture of Methamphetamine, a felony of the third degree and count two Conspiracy to Manufacture Methamphetamine, a felony of the third degree.

On March 15, Judge Gusweiler accepted Wainscott’s plea of guilty to count two Conspiracy to Manufacture Methamphetamine. Count one was dismissed upon a motion by the state.

Judge Gusweiler sentenced Wainscott to one year in prison on April 4. Judge Gusweiler also ordered Wainscott to pay costs and a $5,000 fine. Wainscott will be under a one year driver’s license suspension. Upon her release from prison, Wainscott will be subject to post release control by the Adult Parole Authority.

following rate increases to water: • the first 2,000 gallons for residents living in the village will be $26, for out of the village residents the cost is $29 and $4.50 per 1,000 gallons over the 2,000 gallons and $2.50 per gallon over 2,001 up to 8,000 gallons; • commercial rates are now $28 for the first 10,000 gallons then $3.81 per 1,000 gallons over the 10,000 gallons; • sewer rates went up by $5.

In other business council discussed a bill it had received from AT&T who said Aberdeen employees had damaged their lines and they were attempting to collect payment for repairs.

However, according to Emily Henderson, village administrator, “The last time AT&T was supposed to mark off where their lines were they didn’t do it accurately and we need to make sure they marked it right this time before the village assumes the responsibility for any damages.”

Aberdeen Police Chief Clark Gast reported that citations were going to be given out to parents who allow their children to play in the streets while playing basketball.

He also said the amnesty program for mayors court would not be offered this year.

Last year the program allowed past due accounts to be settled for about half of what they owed.

It was brought up at the meeting that some ordinance records were missing, for the years 2008-2009. But council woman Billie Eitel said the village is audited each year, and they would not have passed an audit without the records. Henderson agreed to look more extensively for the books.

It was recommended by Kidston that it might be necessary to do a partial audit since the village changed fiscal officers recently. The audit would be to protect the new fiscal officer, Nathan Pfeffer, from any discrepancies in the records.

Pfeffer, however said they were scheduled for an audit in about nine months and suggested waiting until then, and not spending the $4,000 it would cost for the partial audit.

But Eitel said she believed it was important and the money could be taken out of several accounts. The council voted to approve the partial audit, saying it would benefit Pfeffer in the long run.

The next scheduled meeting of the Village of Aberdeen Council will be Monday, April 18.

Clancy sentenced to three year prison term Brown County Court of Common Pleas Judge Scott T. Gusweiler sentenced Ebony Clancy, 23, to a three year prison term on March 25. A grand jury indicted Clancy in January on one count of Complicity to Aggravated Robbery, a felony of the first degree.

Judge Gusweiler accepted

Clancy’s plea of guilty to the charge. In addition to the three years in prison, Judge Gusweiler ordered Clancy to pay $870 restitution to Merchant’s National Bank and court costs. Clancy will be placed on five years post release control with the Adult Parole Authority upon her release from prison.

Eastern Local holds meet n’ greet for new superintendent set to take over August 1

By Martha Jacob The Brown County Press Residents of the Eastern Local School District recently had the opportunity to meet newly hired superintendent Michelle Filon.

Filon will take over as superintendent on August 1, replacing Superintendent Alan Simmons. She is currently the principal of Belpre High School near Athens, Ohio.

During the two hour ‘meet the superintendent’ event, Filon got to meet members of the community, teachers, coaches and members of the press.

‘I went to Logan High School, which was out in the middle of a corn field,” Filon said. “I have a true love for rural schools, and the two districts are very similar. It’s almost a feeling of coming home, it just feels right to me.”

Filon and her husband Dave have purchased a home in the district and will soon be moving to the area.

“Dave works at Ohio University and he will be the one making the two-hour commute for a while,” she said with a smile. “But we’re going to try and maintain both homes as long as we can so he has a place to stay during the week.”

She said she has tried to look at all the data from the Eastern School District and found it to be amazing.

“They’re doing great stuff

here at Eastern,” she said.

“And I have looked around at the community and been able to talk to people and it just reinforced what I already thought, this is a good school district and I am tickled pink to be joining in its efforts to stay that way.”

Filon said she was a language arts teacher for 18 years and has served as the high school principal for the past 4 years.

“When I first started as a teacher I never thought I would ever leave the classroom,” she added, “but then I was asked to serve on the Ohio Middle School Association Executive Board as the Southeastern Ohio Rep. “I was talking to a teacher from a small school one day and she was looking for some fresh new idea, I can’t remember exactly what it was, but later on that month I met another teacher from an entirely different school who had this wonderful new idea which was exactly what the first teacher was looking for. So I hooked the two teachers up and it was a perfect union. On my way home from that meeting, it dawned on me that suddenly my focus had changed. I no longer just focused on my classroom I was focused on the needs of the region.”

She said she knew right then and there that she was ready to take the next step in her career. She enrolled in grad-school, received her

Grooms retires from Ripley Federal A familiar face for the past 24 years at Ripley Federal Savings Bank announced his retirement this past week.

Danny Grooms, Ripley Federal Savings Bank President and CEO, announced his retirement, effective April 1. Although he will no longer be a bank employee, he will continue as a member of the Board of Directors.

During his time at Ripley Federal, Grooms has seen the organization move forward.

The Ripley location at 252 S. Second St. was renovated in 1996. A new branch building was constructed at East State Street in Georgetown in 2000

which replaced the existing branch established in the mid ‘70’s. In December of 2004, the organization moved into a larger, newly built facility at their current main location at 1006 S. Second Street in Ripley.

Grooms said he is looking forward to his retirement and being able to spend more time with his family, especially his daughter and son-in-law who are living in Washington state.

An open house reception honoring Danny will be held on Friday, April 15 between the hours of 3:00 P.M. and 6:00 P.M. at the main office at 1006 S. Second Street in Danny Grooms Ripley.

Filon said she does not anticipate any major changes right away, her first year will be used getting to know everyone and looking into the budget issues, which she described as challenging.

But she added that Eastern is getting the job done.

Participants will receive a small gift card after each data collection to thank them for their time.

Brown County is one of six counties in Ohio Appalachia selected to participate in this

project over the next several years, in part because of high rates of smoking. According to the 2008 Ohio Family Health Survey, 37 percent of adults in Brown County smoke, in comparison, the statewide smoking rate in Ohio in 2008 was 20.1 percent.

The order of the court goes into effect on October 31, 2011, at which time; pesticide applications not covered by an NPDES permit are subject to a fine of up to $37,500 per day per violation. In addition to costs of compliance, pesticide users will be subject to an increased risk of litigation under the citizen suit provision of the Clean Water Act. While the court decided to extend the effective date of its order to comply with permit requirements from April 9, 2011 until October 31, 2011, this extension does not fix the underlying problem.

licenses were issued in Ohio in 2010.

According to statistics reported to the Attorney General's office, county sheriffs in Ohio issued 47,337 new licenses and 13,544 renewal licenses in 2010. The number of new licenses was the second highest since licenses were first issued in 2004.

"Since 2004, nearly a quarter of a million Ohioans have

received a concealed carry license. My office remains committed to working with county sheriffs in helping eligible Ohioans exercise their rights under the Concealed Carry Law," DeWine said.

The Attorney General's Office compiles an annual report as required by law about the number of licenses issued each year. Each sheriff must report concealed handgun license statistics quarterly

to the Ohio Peace Officer Training Commission within the Ohio Attorney General's Office.

Brown: Maintain funding for joint strike fighter as intended by congress Brown received assurances from OMB that administration would follow congressional mandate for funding Following the issuing of a stop-work order for the Joint Strike Fighter (F-35) competitive engine program, U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) demanded that the Obama Administration fulfill the Administration’s statutory obligation to continue funding the program as directed in the recently passed stopgap appropriations bill.

nation’s dependence on foreign oil. I fully support ideas like converting more heavy vehicles to run on natural gas because this will capitalize on Ohio’s vast reserves of shale gas and reduce oil imports.

But it won’t work if the President continues to turn a blind eye to the efforts of the Environmental Protection Agency to create red tape and impose new regulations that will raise energy costs on American businesses across the board,” said Portman, who has pressed the Obama Administration to reverse course on its efforts to regulate greenhouse gasses under the Clean Air Act. “As summer and the high-

SHERROD BROWN It has to follow the law like everybody else. And it cannot thumb its nose at Congress and decide whether it will or will not obligate spending that has been signed into law by the President,” said Brown.

“That’s not just my opinion, that’s the view of the Office of Management and Budget.”

“Arbitrarily eliminating funds for the Joint Strike Fighter not only wastes billions of taxpayer dollars but it threatens our national security,” Brown continued. “Last week, Congress voted to maintain funding levels for this critical program. I will continue to fight for this vital program to save taxpayer dollars and hundreds of Ohio jobs.”

Earlier today, the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) issued a stop-work order for the production of the F-35 competitive engine. Last week, the Senate passed a continuing resolution to fully fund programs—including the F-35 program—at previous levels.

Brown sent a letter to OMB Director Lew in December seeking confirmation that the Administration would follow Congress’ mandate for funding the competitive engine program under a Continuing Resolution. OMB

responded that the Administration would follow Congressional intent and continue the competitive engine program.

In February, Brown and U.S. Sen. Patrick Leahy (DVT) urged Office of Management and Budget Director Jack Lew to reaffirm the Administration’s statutory obligation to continue funding the program. Earlier this year, Brown and Leahy joined U.S. Sens. John Kerry (D-MA), Jim Webb (D-VA), Mark Warner (D-VA), and Scott Brown (R-MA) in writing to the Chair and Vice Chair of the Senate Committee on Appropriations, U.S. Sens.

Daniel K. Inouye (D-HI) and Thad Cochran (R-MS) respectively, in response to a vote in the U.S. House of Representatives to eliminate funding for the F-35 competitive engine.

The F-35 program will develop and deploy the fifthgeneration strike fighter aircraft to meet the operational needs of the Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps, and their allies.

The F-35 employs cuttingedge technologies including synthetic aperture radar integration techniques, advanced target recognition, and advanced capabilities in its resistance to jamming, maintainability, and logistic support. This engine competition for the F-35 saves money and improves our national security. GE makes the competitive engine with its partner RollsRoyce and much of the testing is done in Evendale.

Of course we should, then we wouldn't have to rely so much on other countries. We have plenty of oil right here in America, not to mention it would create jobs.

Samuel Rhyne, Mt. Orab

Absolutely I think we should resume off-shore drilling, other countries are drilling in the Gulf, we might as well do it too.

Marcus Hanna, Mt. Orab

Yes, I believe we should, at least until we find something better.

Barb Page, Mt. Orab

If allowing that to happen would drop our gas prices, then my answer is yes.

Jeremy Zurmehly, Williamsburg

Yes, I do think we should, the likelihood of an accident like the last one happening again is slim.

Kristin Lang, Mt. Orab

I think we should start drilling again, it would make the United States less dependent on other countries.

Legislation introduced by Congresswoman Jean Schmidt (OH-02) to rein in burdensome, duplicative federal regulations passed the in U.S. House of Representatives today. H.R. 872, the Reducing Regulatory Burdens Act of 2011 passed in the house by a vote of 292-130.

“This bill eliminates duplicative regulatory burdens that do nothing to create jobs or protect the environment,” said Schmidt. “I am happy to see H.R. 872 pass the House with such bipartisan majority.”

Congresswoman Schmidt along with Representatives Frank Lucas (R-OK), Colin Peterson (D-MN), Bob Gibbs (R-OH), and Joe Baca (D-CA) introduced H.R. 872 to remove a costly and duplicative permitting requirement for the application of pesticides - the result of a misguided court decision.

In National Cotton Council v. Environmental Protection Agency (6th Cir. 2009) the court ruled that the EPA did not have the authority under the Clean Water Act to exempt application of pesticides under the Federal Insecticide

It is said, ‘A friend is someone who understands your past, believes in your future and accepts you just the way you are.’

Dillon Bowling, a senior at Western Brown High School has many friends, but has one special friend, Tyler Russell, also a Western Brown student, who just happens to be deaf.

Both Bowling and Russell share a passion for the Ultimate Fighter Championship, a reality television show the two enjoy watching.

When Dillon found out that one of their favorite ultimate fighters, Matt Hamill, was appearing in Cleveland on March 24, he set out to try and surprise his good friend Tyler with tickets to the event.

Matt Hamill, formerly from Clermont County, was born deaf and was a contestant on the

third season of The Ultimate Fighter show. He went on to compete for several years in the Ultimate Fighter Championship.

“I just took a chance and contacted Matt Hamill by email and told him about my friend Tyler, and asked if we could meet him, ” Dillon explained.

“I really didn’t think I would get a response, but sure enough, a couple days later I heard from him. It was from his manager and he thanked me for getting in touch with him.”

Dillon said he was told that Mr. Hamill would be happy to meet with the two boys and invited them to attend a special film festival which happened to be premiering a movie about Matt Hamill’s life, not yet released to the public.

“That was really something being invited to that premier,” Dillon said. “We knew they were making a movie about Matt’s life and how he has accomplished so much, even though he is deaf.”

The boys were invited as personal guests to the event.

Dillon’s father, Darin, drove the boys to Cleveland on March 24 where they were seated next

The village of Mt. Orab will receive $198,354 in federal money from the Safe Routes to School (SRTS) Grant.

“This money is basically for phase one of this project,” Mt. Orab Mayor Bruce Lunsford said. “It is for sidewalks on school property. This is a 100 percent grant which means we don’t have to match any costs.

“We’ve already paid engineers a couple years ago which means the project can begin a lot earlier.”

Safe Routes to School is coordinated through the Ohio Department of Transportation, to increase the number of children who walk or bicycle to school by funding projects that remove the barriers that current-

ly prevent them from doing so.

Those barriers include lack of infrastructure, unsafe infrastructure, lack of programs that promote walking and bicycling through education/encouragement programs aimed at children, parents and the community.

The village will be responsible for all hardware, posts and manpower associated with installing signs.

Details of the program include: • design costs $24,500 • construction $158,054 • construction engineering $15,800.

Bids for the projects are expected to go out in March 2012.

Council will now meet with an ODOT representative and design a guide for development

of the project.

In other business at the April 5 meeting, council agreed to hire Brian Rolph as a paid auxiliary police officer. Rolph grew up in Mt. Orab and attended the University of Cincinnati Police Academy and is currently working as a part-time officer with the Batavia Police Department.

Council voted unanimously to hire Rolph for the position.

The police department also requested permission to move Todd Blankenship from auxiliary status to a paid status with the department.

Council voted unanimously to make the change.

Mayor Lunsford released to council a copy of the upcoming schedule for the 2011 Music in the Park, coordinated by Woody Whiting.

“Last year I think everyone

really enjoyed the Music in the Park,” Lunsford said, “and it looks like this year will be even better.”

Dates for Music in the Park (set for the third Saturday of the Month) include: •May 21, 6:30 to 10 p.m. featuring ‘Bar Codes;’ •June 18, 6:30 to 10 p.m. featuring ‘Off “R” Rockers;” •July 16, 6:30 to 10 p.m., featuring “Fast Passage;” •August 20, 6:30 to 10 p.m. featuring “Off “R” Rockers;” •September 17, 6:30 to 10 p.m. featuring “Rough Shod.”

Lunsford also announced to council that the first brush pick up in the village would be held April 11.

The next meeting of the Mt. Orab Village Council will be held Monday, April 18.

G’town freshman wins in 5th Annual Child of Appalachia Writing Contest

By Martha Jacob The Brown County Press Georgetown High School freshman Caitlyn Richey was recently announced at one of the winners of the 5th Annual Child of Appalachia Writing Contest through the Foundation for Appalachian Ohio (FAO).

Students were asked to write an essay in response to the question, “If you could invent something, what would it be and what problem would it solve?”

In partnership with the Walmart Foundation, the FAO has awarded $50 Walmart gift cards to 132 winning students and each teacher will be awarded a $500 mini-grant for classroom enrichment.

Caitlyn is in Jessica McNair’s class and the following is a copy of the essay written by Caitlyn, entitled “The Lovely War Machine.”

Invention is an act of creativity that results in a device, process or technique novel enough to produce a significant

change in the life of individuals.

There once stood an old, damaged, rusty machine in the middle of a crucified battlefield.

This machine is very valuable as it’s job is to cleanse the blood from the battlefield as it resembled the cleansed and free ocean water.

This wise machine set high expectations for those who cherished it as you may cherish a Holy Bible.

As these high expectations were set, this old, dirty and rugged town was then cleansed by the power of the lovely machine and brought forward a better future and destiny as it portrayed it’s ability to drift independently as if resembling the ocean water.

“At first I just couldn’t think of anything to write about,” Caitlyn said. “That’s not really the kind of thing you sit around and think about. But then I really began to give it some serious thought and dug a little deeper into my thoughts.

“What if there was a machine that could cleanse the

earth of war? A war machine.”

Caitlyn described what it was like when her father, Bill Richey was in the U.S. Marines and had to leave his family.

“He planned on staying in the marines,” she said with a little smile, “but he left because of me. He didn’t want to leave me.

I think about that a lot, which makes me think about how terrible war is.”

Caitlyn is the daughter of Jennie Campbell and Bill

House Bill 30 signed - school mandate relief act Recently Gov. John R. Kasich signed legislation relieving Ohio’s public schools of several unfunded mandates.

Through House Bill 30 (Gardner) – the School Mandate Relief Act – schools will no longer be obligated to fund some of the most costly portions of the “EvidenceBased Model,” a plan passed during the last general assembly.

“With the passage of the School Mandate Relief Act, school districts across the state were able to breathe a collective sigh of relief,” said Kasich.

“Forcing schools to pay for unnecessary and costly mandates is irresponsible, and this legislation addresses concerns raised throughout the education community. At a time when school and taxpayer budgets are stretched thin, it is crucial we do everything we can to eliminate unfunded mandates while continually and appropriately striking the balance between education needs and taxpayers’ limitations.”

Many changes under the School Mandate Relief Act impact various accounting, spending and reporting requirements, including eliminating the authority of the Superintendent of Public Instruction to impose rules in these areas. The legislation also lifts the unfunded mandate requiring schools to offer allday kindergarten and places the authority to charge tuition for all-day kindergarten back in the

hands of most districts. Other provisions include the elimination of the requirement that school districts set aside a specified amount per pupil into a textbook and materials fund, and ending a policy requiring school districts to establish family and civic engagement teams.

Governor signs HB114 transportation budget bill Last week Gov. John R. Kasich signed House Bill 114 (McGregor), the $7 billion transportation budget bill that will fund operations for the Ohio departments of Transportation (ODOT) and Public Safety over the next two years. Within this legislation are reforms that provide new flexibility to generate revenue through innovative means, promote increased efficiency within state government, and ultimately result in a better use of taxpayer dollars.

The transportation budget received bipartisan support in the General Assembly, including a 33-0 vote in the Ohio Senate.

Joining Gov. Kasich at the bill signing were ODOT Director Jerry Wray, Department of Public Safety Assistant Director Craig Mayton, Rep. Ross McGregor, Rep. Ron Amstutz, Sen. Tom

Patton, Sen. Chris Widener, Sen. Jason Wilson and Sen. Frank LaRose.

“Ohio is within 600 miles of 60 percent of the country, so the ability to improve infrastructure to raise productivity is really terrific. The provision on the public private partnership, combined with some of the other privatization efforts that we made, can really get Ohio into a much more strengthened position,” said Kasich.

Highlights of H.B. 114 include: • Public Private Partnerships (P3): These partnerships will allow ODOT to harness the ingenuity and financing capabilities of the private sector and will ensure resources are available to deliver projects that may otherwise be delayed for years because of insufficient funding.

• Commercial Vehicle Registration Renewals: Simplifies the commercial vehicle registration process and increases commerce by allowing companies to renew registrations online with a credit card rather than spending a day at the Bureau of Motor Vehicles.

Design-Build Authority: Expedites the design and bid processes by allowing a team of design engineers and construc-

tion contractors to work together to design, bid on, and deliver projects more quickly and efficiently. This allows ODOT to maximize its resources and reinvest savings in more projects, ultimately helping to rebuild Ohio.

Southern Hills Tea Party meeting The newly organized Southern Hills Tea Party will meet on Thursday, April 14, 2011, at 7 p.m. at the Rambler Community Center (old school) in Russellville. We are just starting, so come and learn what the Tea Party is and is not, how you can become a part of the grassroots voice of America and what you can do to be a more effective citizen.

Last month we had a presentation about precinct committee members and how they function.

This month we will have the second part and discuss how we may become involved in local leadership.

We invite all voters from this area in both Adams and Brown Counties to come for information as well as a Q & A discussion on local, state and national concerns. For more information, call 937-6950953 or email sandraedmisten@yahoo.com.

BRINGING IN THE SHEAVES In John 4 we read about the Samaritan woman who went to the well to draw water. When she arrived she found Jesus sitting there on the wall of the well. She had a talk with Him and then returned back to the city and told the men about her conversation.

Now go with me to verse 31: “In the mean while his disciples found Jesus talking to a woman.

They did not understand why He was talking to a Samaritan but said nothing about it. After she left they simply implored Him to eat. Verses 32-33: “But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of. Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him ought to eat?” They were wondering why He was not hungry. Verse 34: “Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.”

Jesus was so absorbed with His work that food was simply not on His mind. He said: “Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then comest harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest. And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.” That is what was occupying His mind. Have you ever been so caught up in your thoughts that you just did not feel like eating at that time, or perhaps been so busy that you wanted to finish what you were doing before you ate? But the disciples didn’t quite understand what work Jesus was talking about. He was talking about doing the Lord’s work, telling people how to be saved. He wants all of us to get involved in doing this. He said that you will receive wages for this work; there will be a payday. However, I am thinking that the ones who actually do the work are the ones who will be paid and not the ones who set in the grandstands and just watch. He wants you out in the field gathering the harvest!

In Matthew 9:37 Jesus said: “The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few...” That is still true today. It has never changed and there are more people today than ever before. The world population is growing at a rapid pace. In Egypt they told us that the population is growing by

DR. CHARLES SMITH MT. ORAB BIBLE BAPTIST CHURCH www.bbcmtorab.com one million every 14 months.

The fields are white unto harvest! You might say that we are not over there. I know that. But someone needs to give them the Gospel. We need missionaries.

We need people in the field! But we also need people right here in this field to take the Gospel unto the surrounding neighborhoods.

We need to tell our friends and neighbors. Jesus took time to talk to one single solitary person.

Can you imagine? You take these people of great importance, politicians and so on, and see just how much time they have for one not so desirable person.

Especially if there is no publicity involved. This woman Jesus was talking to was not of the elite.

But still He took the time because she was a lost soul needing to be saved. He had a different approach with each person that He spoke to. He asked her for a drink of water. He told Nicodemus that “...Ye must be born again.” He had compassion for people and He spoke to them in the manner it took in order to bring them to Himself. He told this woman flat out that He was the Messiah, which is called Christ. We need to tell people the same thing, that Jesus is the Redeemer, the Messiah, the Christ, the Saviour, and the only way to the Father. We need to tell them that they need to be born again. Jesus needs more laborers; He needs you. He said: “...Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.” Don’t say there is still four months; don’t say there is still plenty of time to do God’s work. The time to work is now. People are dying and going to hell because there are not enough workers to give the Gospel to the lost. Ruth was in the field bringing in the sheaves; we need to do the same!

He began using his God-given musical talents as a teenager and has been writing songs since 1983.

Certainly, Phil Cross is no stranger to Christian Music. He has long been known as one of today’s finest composers. He has received many of Gospel music’s highest honors including Dove Awards, Song of the Year and Songwriter of the Year honors. Although he has gained recognition as a composer and a singer and has had a great deal of success as a musician, Phil has remained genuine and sincere. His strongest desire is to let everyone know that God is on their side and He has an incredible plan for their lives.

Phil and his wife, Rebekah, reside in Chattanooga, TN. They are proud parents of Brian and Gavin and Brian’s wife, Amanda.

The Brown County Press - Sunday, April 10, 2011 - Page 9

At the Mt. Orab Middle School all 5th grade students are required to study Native American culture and history in Social Studies.

The specials teachers (art, music, library) decided to create a cross curricular unit to expand upon what they were studying in their core classrooms.

In library, students read several Native American folktales to prepare them for a music class project. Students were also offered several AR reading tests about different Native American Tribes. The AR program is a supplemental reading program that encourages students to read on all topics at their appropriate reading level.

In music class, students listened to several songs from various tribes and compared them to their own music. They also identified how Native Americans used music within

their daily life. Next, students worked in groups to create their own folktales, which had to explain how something in nature got to be the way it is today. Some of the story titles included, “How the Zebra Got It's Stripes,” “Why the Sky is Blue,” and “How the Fox Got Its Pointy Ears.” After students wrote their stories, students selected instrument sound effects to add to their story.

Finally, Students video taped their performance with the students reading and playing the instrumental accompaniments.

In art class, the students worked on creating sand paintings like those of the Hopi Indians. Examples of Native American sand paintings and symbols were shown to the students. Each student chose from a large selection of Native American folktales which they would create their own sand painting for.

SSCC Patri-Tots donate to Help Me Grow program The Pre-K students at the Patri-Tots Learning Center of SSCC’s Central Campus (Hillsboro) celebrated their 100th day of school by collecting 100 non-perishable food items to donate to the Highland County Help Me Grow program.

“In addition to practicing our math skills by counting the items we collected each day, it was also my goal to teach the children about their community and what we can do to help the people in our area,” said Stacy Pennington, Pre-K teacher Since January 2010, the Patri-Tots staff has helped contribute to Help Me Grow’s play groups. Each month, a teacher provides lessons in music, literature and art, as well as providing snacks and treats.

“When we were invited to participate in the Adopt-AFamily program in December 2009, we decided we wanted to do as much as we could to assist the Help Me Grow staff,” said Kathe Chaney, site administrator. “We look forward each month, and the children and their parents seem to appreciate us as well. Because the Patri-Tots program is structured as a learning center, and with our education and experience, it’s the least we can do to help other children get comfortable enough to be ready for their transition into preschool.”

Southern State Community College houses Patri-Tots Learning Centers at Central Campus in Hillsboro and North Campus in Wilmington.

Both child-learning centers are licensed by the ODJFS and are open five days a week serving community members and college students, faculty and staff. The learning centers accept children from 18 months to 5 years of age.

There are both part-time and full-time space options at each location.

Developmentally appropriate activities within a preschool setting are provided by qualified teachers who have aligned their curriculum with the Ohio Early Learning Standards.

“The Meals on Wheels program is a vital link to many individuals in Brown and Adams County who are no longer able to cook or shop for themselves but choose to live in their own homes,” Norris said.

“Meals on Wheels is not necessarily based on income, but on medical needs,” he added.

The Passport Program, which also offers personal care, homemaking, meal preparation, errand runs, bill paying, home delivered meals, respite care, and transportation is a little less popular because sometimes the recipient must pay back some of the funds used

because it is based on income.

“We are anticipating as much as a 50 percent cut in our funding,” he added. “That means continuing to support Adams County could become a real struggle.

“We’ve had many, many meetings discussing our alternatives. These are drastic cuts we will be receiving both from the state as well as the CSBG funds.”

The Meals on Wheels program served over 34,000 meals in Brown County last year and even more than that in Adams County, Norris said.

“These cuts will definitely limit our ability to go after more funds,” he added. “It could cost some jobs, but we are trying not to let that happen.

“People just don’t understand how receiving grant money works. For example, several years ago ABCAP had a waiting list of over 100 residents who wanted to receive lunch from the Meals on Wheels program.

“We had money in the account but I had to turn these people away. Now, we could buy them a computer and a years worth of free internet service, but we didn’t have the money for one lunch a day.

That part of the job is very frustrating for all of us. In my 35 years on the job, this is abut as bad as it has ever looked for us.”

Norris said that about every two or three weeks something changes and more cuts are

added.

“All we can do now is look for other ways to help keep our programs going,” he said.

“They are so important to so many in our community.”

ABCAP also offers senior nutrition Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Senior Citizens Building in Georgetown, the American Legion Post in Sardinia, Northern Brown at St. Martin Hall in Brown County and in West Union at 111 West Main Street, the Community Building in Manchester and the Community Building in Seaman.

‘Meals on Wheels’ only one of several programs bracing for anticipated federal cuts

Gabbards theft suspects arrested in Clermont Co. CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Department Detective Buddy Moore was contacted after it appeared possible that some of the property could be linked to other burglaries in the county.

After Moore and another deputy arrived, a search warrant for two of the rooms at the Motel was obtained.

They immediately found

more stolen property from a burglary that happened just that morning.

“Once we entered that room, we knew in ten seconds that this was our victims property”, said Moore.

Moore was able to be certain because the burglary victim, Doug Greiner, had taken the time to note the serial numbers of the television and other property that was stolen

from his garage.

Greiner arrived a short time later to positively identify his property.

He thanked Moore and the other law enforcement officers for their quick work.

Moore said the investigation into the two men may not stop at two incidents.

“Within the past week, we’ve had five to seven burglaries that fit the same pattern within a couple mile radius of where we are right now.

That’s why we think these guys may be involved.”

Black echoed the idea that the two may still have some talking to do.

“We’re working with Clermont County and hopefully we’ll be able to tie them to several break-ins in the

area.”

Moore said that potential victims can help themselves by doing the same thing that Greiner did with his property.

“Take photographs, write serial numbers down, mark your property in some way that only you would know.

That way if we find it, we can tie it to you and get it back for you.”

For his part, Black said that the bust at the Greenbriar Motel brought him some personal and professional satisfaction.

“It’s a very good feeling at the end of the day to know that you actually made an impact”, he said.

The two suspects will face court appearances in both Brown and Clermont counties

With $9 million from Ohio’s ADAMH Boards, RSC was able to receive $27 million in matching federal dollars.

Kasich also announced the creation of Opiate Task Forces in 23 counties, including Brown County.

Duncan said the task force will be made up of members in the community who have expertise with the drug addiction issue and those who are affected by it.

Members currently include Brown County Prosecutor Jessica Little and Brown County Sheriff’s Department Chief Deputy John Schadle, among others.

Duncan said the task force will expand as other members are asked to join.

task forces from the Ohio Department of Alcohol and Drug Addiction Services says that the task forces “will engage the communities to develop and pursue a unified goal, coordinate strategies and pool resources.”

The task forces will be responsible for educating the public and local professionals about the causes of prescription drugs as well as prevention strategies.

Duncan said that task force members are already working on a couple of projects.

One of them is a program based out of Little’s office called “Beat Addiction Now”.

Little is asking that anyone who is currently addicted to contact her office and ask for help before they turn to crime to support their drug habit.

Duncan also said a couple of “Drug Takeback” days are in the planning stages.

He would like to set up a couple of locations in the county where people can bring old unused prescriptions for disposal.

Duncan said that dates for the events will be announced in the near future.

He added that if you or a love one needs help, contact Ohio’s toll-free HELPLINE at 1-800788-7254 or visit www.ada.ohio.gov to learn about local treatment options.

Just over $11 million dollars will be awarded statewide.

Public meeting scheduled to address route journalizations in Brown County A public meeting is on tap this week to address the renumbering of a pair of routes and removing the designation of another in southern Brown County.

Representatives from the Ohio Department of Transportation have scheduled the meeting for Monday, April 11, to discuss removing and renumbering portions of state Route 41, U.S. Route 62 and U.S. Route 68, as well as Business Loop U.S. 62/68, in and around the village of Aberdeen.

The proposed journalization calls for removing the existing designation of S.R. 41 where it

begins at the Kentucky state line and the Simon Kenton Bridge and renumbering it beginning at its junction with U.S. 52. The journal entry also includes removing the U.S. 62 designation from the William Harsha Bridge and renumbering it along the Simon Kenton Bridge to overlap with U.S. 52 in Ohio, as well as removing the U.S. 62/68 Business Loop designation that is currently in place.

The changes to these routes come as a result of a $21.5 million project by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet to relocate U.S. 68 in Kentucky’s Mason County; this project will connect U.S. 68 directly with

the Ohio River crossing at the William Harsha Bridge in Maysville.

The meeting, which will be an open house format, will be held April 11 from 4 to 6 p.m. at the Aberdeen Public Library, located at 1730 U.S. 52 West in Aberdeen. Public comment forms will be available, and written or oral comments may be submitted at the meeting; written comments may also be submitted through April 25 by mail to: Ohio Department of Transportation-District 9 Attn: Toby Smalley P.O.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 gene in November...and the test was positive.

“It was like winning the lottery’, said Seth.

Armed with her test results, Seth began to look for a drug trial for Crizotinib. He finally found one in Boston.

Tina got her first treatment in late February...and by late March was back at many of her tasks as Brown County Clerk of Courts.

“It’s a miracle”, she said.

It sure seems to be. Gone is the tired, frail woman with a raspy voice and no energy.

She’s been replaced by someone who is thrilled to have a second chance at life.

“I kept on saying (during my treatment) that I had my babies and I wanted to raise them”, Tina said.

The “babies” are eleven year old Preston and eight year old Austin.

The boys helped their mom as much as they could while she was very sick.

“Sometimes when she was really feeling bad we’d sit and watch TV with her and every once in a while she’d ask us to get a glass of water for her”, said Preston.

When asked how they felt during that time, Austin simply said “We need to find some medicine for her real quick.”

Both boys said they prayed for their mother every night.

The boys were not the only ones praying for Tina.

Her friends, family and churches all over Brown County all went to work asking God for help.

“It’s impossible to really put into words how much it means to me”, said Tina.

The cancer first appeared as pain in Tina’s chest in late 2007.

When she went to the doctor, Tina got the news that a stage four cancerous tumor was in one her lungs, and that she had approximately six months to live.

Three years later, she was still fighting.

“You don’t have an expiration date stamped on you”, said

The Brown County Press/WAYNE GATES

Seth and Tina Meranda with their sons Preston (left) and Austin.

Tina.

“When you get a diagnosis like that, you have to keep fighting. The worst thing you can do is give up.”

Tina’s type of lung cancer is called Non-Small Cell Lung Carcinoma (NSCLC).

That type of lung cancer is believed to be triggered in some cases by the ALK gene, which means that the same gene that may have caused Tina’s cancer is allowing her to fight it.

According to Crizotinib research, about 220 thousand American’s are diagnosed each year with lung cancer.

About ten thousand of them are believed to carry the ALK gene and could possibly benefit from the drug.

Crizotinib was first discovered in 2007, and was wildly successful in earlier trials.

In results from a 2010 trial, ninety percent of lung cancer patients had tumors shrink or stabilize after taking the drug.

Tumors shrank at least thirty percent in almost two thirds of those patients.

Right now, Tina is one of only 176 people currently taking Crizotinib in another drug trial at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston.

There are other uses being

looked into for the drug as well.

Crizotinib is thought by researchers to be effective in about 15 percent of Neuroblastoma cases, a nervous system cancer that occurs almost exclusively in very young children.

The drug is just one aspect of cancer research that is going on all over the world.

Seth said medical knowledge can be a powerful weapon when you are fighting for the life of a loved one.

“There’s always something new coming down the pike.

From the day Tina was diagnosed I was writing things down and looking them up later.

Learn the treatments, learn the jargon and never give up.”

When asked how she’s feeling these days, Tina simply answered “I’m doing super. I’m getting my strength back and I’m getting better every day.”

Watching Seth smile as she said that showed that he was finally getting over the ordeal as well.

As for the boys, eight year old Austin summed up the last few months.

“At first I thought she wasn’t going to last the rest of the year, but the Lord helped us.”

He did indeed.

The two teams locked up in what many baseball oldtimers would refer to as “a good ol’ good one.” With both pitchers, including FHS starter Derek Peters, holding the other team’s offense in check, the game remained scoreless until the top of the sixth, when the Rockets scored the one and only run of the game.

The inning opened with Fayetteville sophomore Stephan Pappas driving a double to right field. He was then lifted for pinch runner

The Brown County Press/DAVE BORST

Swings-and-misses, like this one by FHS senior Hunter Hammons, were common for both sides in what turned out to be a pitcher’s duel between the Rockets and the Whiteoak Wildcats on Tuesday. Despite tough days at the plate for nearly everyone, Hammons and his teammates were still able to pull out a 1-0 victory.

Kirby Bell. Then came the play of the game.

Bell broke for third on the next pitch as senior Jordan Schmidt squared around to bunt. Whiteoak’s pitcher fielded and threw to first, retiring Schmidt, but Bell rounded third on the throw and just kept coming. He beat the throw to the plate, and the Rockets had the first (and what turned out to be the only) run of the game.

The next two Rocket batters were retired to end the inning with the score Fayetteville 1, Whiteoak 0.

Then came Whiteoak’s turn to mount a threat.

The Wildcats sent six batters to the plate in the bottom of the sixth, forcing Peters to dig deep. He got the first hitter of the inning looking after running the count full.

The next batter reached on a base hit to right center.

Peters then gave up another single, this one to right, putting runners at first and third with one out. Following another strikeout and a stolen base, Peters faced a two-out situation with runners now on second and third. He then issued a walk to load the bases, prompting FHS Head Coach Tim Carlier to call a meeting with his infield. Whatever Carlier

told his team and his pitcher worked as Peters then got another strikeout to end the bases-loaded, two-out threat.

The top of the seventh saw the Rockets go down in order, and Whiteoak came to the plate in the bottom of the inning looking at their last chance to dent the plate against Peters.

The Fayetteville junior would have none of it, however, retiring the side in

order on a ground ball to first, and two more strikeouts. Peters was dominant in throwing a complete game shutout on only 90 pitches, and finishing with 14 strikeouts. Carlier, with a bit of a wry smile, said after the game, “Yeah, he’s been pretty good for us this season.”

The Rockets improved their record in league play to 3-0 with the victory, and 3-1 overall.

After back-and-forth game, Broncos break tie

By Dave Borst The Brown County Press On a warm and sunny, but windy afternoon, the Western Brown Broncos and the New Richmond Lions varsity baseball teams hooked up in what turned out to be a nailbiter on Wednesday.

Western senior pitcher Jon Walker sat down the Lions in the top of the first in 1-2-3 fashion, and the Broncos jumped out to a 1-0 lead in their half of the inning when senior Dustin Kirker hit a bases-loaded ground ball that the New Richmond shortstop couldn’t handle, scoring senior Tory Bauer from third.

New Richmond came back to take the lead in the top of the second when sophomore Tanner Wolfe drove one into the gap in left center, scoring senior Austin Warden, who had reached base with a lead-off walk. Wolfe was then picked off second on a throw down by Western catcher Mitch

Hamblen. Wolfe tried to break for third, but was run down and tagged out by Broncos shortstop Ryan Shields. That cleared the bases and brought New Richmond senior Tre Jetter to the plate. Jetter promptly launched the next pitch from Walker over the fence in left field, and New Richmond led 2-1. Junior Austin Skaggs then followed with a base hit to left, but was caught stealing at second to end the inning.

Western came right back in the bottom of the second. The rally started with junior Corey Carroll reaching on an error by the New Richmond shortstop.

Junior Hiro Purdon then laid down a bunt right in front of the plate, but beat the throw to first for a base hit. Bauer then bunted to the third base side. New Richmond pitcher Austin Warden fielded the ball cleanly, but his throw to first was wild and went down the right field line, allowing both runners to score, and advancing Bauer on to second. Western was back in front 3-2.

Western Brown senior pitcher Jon Walker went 6 1/3 innings to pick up the win against the New Richmond Lions at Gary Waits Stadium on Wednesday.

Hamblen then laid down another bunt, this one of the sacrifice variety, that moved Bauer on to third. Shields then drew a walk, putting runners at first and third with one out.

Then came yet another bunt, this one by Walker. However, the safety squeeze didn’t work as Bauer was thrown out at the plate. Shields then stole third, putting runners at the corners for sophomore Caden Piatt.

Piatt delivered a base hit to left center, scoring Shields from third and Western led 4-2.

New Richmond came back again in the top of the third.

Lions sophomore Kevin Reid reached base on a one-out walk. One out later, senior Steven Binder smacked a base hit to right, putting runners at first and second with two out.

Warden then drew a walk, loading the bases. Wolfe then came to the plate and dropped a pop fly fair along the right field line for a double that scored both runs and tied the game at 4-4.

in the bottom of the third.

Purdon hit a two out single to center and promptly stole second. Bauer then delivered a sharp opposite field single to left, enabling Purdon to score from second. Western led again at 5-4.

The score stayed the same until the top of the fifth, when New Richmond tied the game with two outs. Binder smacked a single to center, then beat the throw to second when a pitch got away from Hamblen. Then came a routine ground ball to Shields at shortstop, but the Western first baseman couldn’t handle the throw, and Binder scored from second to tie the game at 5-5. Following an error by the Western second baseman that put runners at first and second, Hamblen ended the inning py picking off Warden at second base on a perfect throw from behind the plate.

The game stayed tied at 5-5 until the bottom of the sixth.

Piatt hit a one out single up the middle. Pinch hitter Rich Burton then went down swinging. Piatt then stole second, and junior Alex Smith then doubled to left center, sending Piatt around to score . Smith then stole third, and added what would turn out to be the gamewinning run when he scored on a wild pitch by New Richmond reliever Binder. The score now stood at 7-5 in favor of the Broncos as they headed to the top of the seventh and final inning.

New Richmond wouldn’t go quietly, though. After getting the first out of the inning, Walker then served up a solo home run to Reid, and the score was 7-6. Western coach Jeff Herrmann then made a pitching change, bringing in Smith to try to close the door on the Lions.

Smith got a fly ball to center field for the second out, then made a great reaction play on a hard line drive right back through the box by Binder. The Western left-hander was able to knock the ball back toward the plate, where Hamblen picked it up and fired to first to record the final out in a 7-6 Western Brown victory. The win went to Western’s Walker, while the loss was pinned on New Richmond’s Binder. Smith recorded the two out save for the Broncos.

On a chilly, blustery Tuesday afternoon that saw every other scheduled game in Brown County postponed due to wet field conditions left behind by Monday’s rainfall, the Fayetteville Rockets varsity baseball team took their show on the road to Whiteoak High School in Mowrystown for a Southern Hills League match-up.

The game was originally

scheduled to be played at Fayetteville, but a soggy field forced the move to Whiteoak’s unique baseball diamond. The Wildcats’ home field features an allgrass infield with only dirt cut-outs around the bases, home plate, and the pitcher’s mound. (Picture the astroturf field at the old Riverfront Stadium in Cincinnati, if you’re old enough to remember it. Whiteoak’s field is very similar to that layout, but with natural grass instead of turf).

BY Ned S. Lodwick Brown County Historical Society Grant Day, April 30, 2011 in Georgetown, Oh., is a day of fun and learning. The U.S. Grant Homestead Association celebrates the life, history, and legacy of Ulysses S. Grant through preservation and education. Join us for the day and you’ll be surprised at what you will learn.

Grant Day has been designed to teach the “young” of all ages about our rich history from the era surrounding the American Civil War. Much of the story is told by the use of living histories, people dressed in the period and telling their stories. No strict lectures, homework, or required readings will be found at the celebration. Visit a one room school, take a narrated walk, tour the soldiers’ camps, watch the soldiers’ drill, see a cannon loaded, and hold your ears when it’s fired.

This year is the 150th anniversary of the start of the Civil War. When Ft. Sumter was fired upon on April 12, 1861 a patriotic fever swept though Brown County. Union meetings were held on public squares, in churches, and town meeting halls. Elected officials and other prominent citizens fanned the fire and volunteer after volunteer signed recruitment papers. President Lincoln had called for 90,000 volunteers to serve 90 days to crush the rebellion. Most knowledgeable people thought that was plenty of soldiers and time to complete the task. The new recruits were farm boys and store clerks. They had no idea what to expect from war, but they had the ‘fever’ and they would soon be soldiers.

Raw recruits marched on the

squares and at the fairgrounds, drilled by veterans of the Mexican War. Day by day they took on a military look, just a little at first but they more and more. Eventually they would march out of their home towns and go into training camp in Columbus. Our local volunteers were members of the 12th Ohio Volunteer Infantry.

The 12th was the first Ohio Regiment to leave the Camp Chase and march to war. They would fight at Carnifax Ferry, South Mountain, Antietam, and Cedar Creek.

At Grant Day you will be able the see the progression of raw recruits being trained until the turn into a fighting force.

Watch the drills that created the fighting men of the Unions “Grand Army of the Republic”. Later in the day help celebrate one of the finest regiments in the war, the 70th OVI, at their memorial service.

Thursday April 28 at the Georgetown United Methodist Church at 7:30 p.m. the “70th Ohio in Story and Song” will

trace a local regiment’s experiences through their own words. Admission is free.

On Friday April 29 at the Gaslight Theater at 7:30 p.m. the “War Clouds” will feature Fritz Klein as President Lincoln. Mr. Klein will be joined by the Liberty Band and vocalist Harriet Jackson accompanied by Glenna Smith. President Lincoln’s critical reactions in response to the South’s secession will be the topic of his speech.

Admission to “War Clouds” is $8 Adults, $4 Students, under 12 Free.

Start your Grant Day experience at 9 a.m. at the Grant Boyhood Home. Walk the streets that Ulysses and so many other Civil War veterans walked. Hear stories of the civilian residents and veterans of the era and get set for a day to remember.

ABCAP March for Meals a great success ABCAP’s Senior Nutrition Program saw a great community response from the recent March for Meals campaign held in Adams and Brown Counties.

March for Meals is a national campaign sponsored by the Meals on Wheels Association of America (MOWAA) to raise awareness of senior hunger and to encourage action on the part of local communities. “I would just like to express the gratitude of ABCAP Senior Nutrition to our community for their support of our March for Meals campaign”, said Denise Neu, Director, ABCAP Senior Nutrition. “All proceeds raised from our events will stay in our local community to aid our homebound seniors.”

In Adams and Brown Counties, ABCAP Senior Nutrition received over 650 signatures from community resi-

dents to pledge their support towards ending senior hunger.

Community walkers and ABCAP employees signed up and participated in a “March a Mile” event on March 23, 2011 and many people also donated $1.00 for pledge sunbursts that are on display in the Georgetown ABCAP building.

Elected officials in Adams and Brown Counties delivered meals to homebound seniors in support of Mayors for Meals day on March 23, 2011. In Adams County, Commissioner Roger Rhonemus represented the Adams County Commissioners and Manchester Mayor Cornelia Dettmer participated for the second consecutive year. In Brown County, Commissioner Ralph Jennings, represented the Brown County Commissioners for the second consecutive year and

Georgetown Mayor Dale Cahall participated.

The month long campaign wrapped up with a Chili Dinner and Dessert Auction fundraiser on March 30, 2011 at the Georgetown ABCAP building.

Desserts were generously provided by many community residents and all were delicious. The event was well attended by supporters of the Meals on Wheels program. The success of this event can truly be attributed to the strong support it received from local businesses and the community as a whole. Most items for the chili dinner and auction were donated by local businesses and residents. Major donators included Gold Star Chili who donated all of the chili for the event and 1st Stop, Inc. and Winchester Wholesale who donated the peanut butter and pimento cheese.

AG Dewine warns of current scams

Scammers Exploit Relay System for the "We have received several recent reports from Ohioans who have been targeted by these scams," Attorney General DeWine said. "Many of the complaints come from small businesses who say individuals are trying to use the relay system to defraud them. Preying on Ohio consumers by using technology dedicated to help the hearing impaired is simply unconscionable."

The relay system is an operator service that allows people who are hearing impaired to make standard phone calls using a keyboard to communicate. The system is designed to allow the hearing impaired person to type a message that is then relayed by the operator to the end user.

To target small businesses, con artists typically pose as deaf consumers and use the relay system to communicate through typed written messages to the business.

They pretend to be interested in a product or service and then commit check fraud or use stolen credit cards when making a purchase.

For example, a Cincinnati business received a relay call from a scammer posing as a potential customer. The caller said his car had broken down in Alabama and that his credit card was not accepted there, so he asked the business to charge his credit card, and then wire the money to him. After sending more than $2,000 via wire transfer, the business discovered the credit card was fraudulent.

Similarly, a Zanesville consumer said she received a relay

call for furniture she had listed for sale in her local newspaper. She became suspicious when the caller said he wanted to buy the furniture without seeing it. He then sent a check for $800 more than the asking price, with instructions to send back the extra money.

Consumers and businesses, alike, should be wary of anyone who asks for money sent via wire transfer or who overpays for an item and asks for money back.

To report a scam, visit www.OhioAttorneyGeneral.gov or call 800-282-0515.

'Grandparent Scams' Target Ohioans, Attorney General DeWine Warns Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine warned that grandparents across the state are losing money to scam artists posing as grandchildren.

"It is reprehensible that scam artists are targeting Ohio grandparents," said Attorney General DeWine. "This is a particularly disturbing scam, in which con artists take advantage of grandparents' generosity and concern for their families. They pretend to be a grandchild and ask the grandparent to send money usually to another country."

Since January 10, the Attorney General's Office has received more than 30 reports of grandparent scams from consumers across the state.

In a typical grandparent scam, con artists call grandparents and say, "Hi Grandma" or "Hi Grandpa," tricking grandparents into believing that their grandchild really is calling. The scammers then make up a story explaining that they are stuck in

another country and need money.

They often ask the grandparents not to tell the child's parents about the situation. For example, they may say, "Please, Grandma, don't tell my mom or dad. Let's keep this between us."

A Trumbull County consumer received a phone call from someone pretending to be her grandson. He claimed he was in Canada with a friend and said they had been picked up by the police. He asked her to send $3,200 via wire transfer so that he could be released. After she sent the money, she discovered her real grandson had never been in Canada.

"We want to protect Ohio families from this scam, especially as we approach the spring and summer months, when many families take vacations," DeWine said.

"Scam artists may check social networking websites to learn about someone's vacation plans and then contact that person's grandparents pretending to be the real grandchild."

To protect themselves and their family members, Ohioans should avoid posting travel information online and remember never to wire transfer money to someone who calls unexpectedly, even if the caller claims to be a grandchild or other family member.

When in doubt, grandparents should ask the caller a question that only their real family members would know how to answer.

They also can consider creating a code word that only family members know to use in an emergency.

Creature Feature Heatworm disease is here

BY DR. DAN MEAKIN Dog owners need to take heartworm disease seriously in Clermont County this summer.

The disease is becoming increasingly widespread, and threatens any dogs which go outside. The worm that causes the devastating disease is carried from dog to dog by mosquitoes. Mild winters give us more mosquitoes and therefore greater likelihood of your dog getting bitten by a heartworm infected mosquito. The heartworm life-cycle enables your dog to become infected without ever seeing another dog.

Fortunately there is an alternative to getting heartworm disease, and that is daily or monthly heartworm preventative.

However, your veterinarian must first heartworm blood test your dog before placing them on heartworm prevention. If your dog does carry the heartworm parasite, the treatment is expensive and endangers your best friend's life.

Another benefit of giving monthly heartworm preventative medications is prevention of intestinal parasites. Dog can be infected with hookworms, roundworms, and whipworms to name a few. Several of these parasites are zoonotic, meaning they can be transmitted to humans.

People get roundworm and hookworm infections through direct contact with the infected feces. This usually happens by chance ingestion of contaminated soil, sand or plant life.

Hookworm larvae penetrate the skin. Children are more vulnerable to infection than adults.

In some cases roundworm larvae may cause permanent nerve or eye damage, even blindness.

Hookworm larvae can penetrate deeper tissues and cause more serious damage to the intestine and other organs.

DAN MEAKIN CREATURE FEATURE

Heartworm infections are common in dogs not on preventative in Clermont County. For instance, this past week All Creatures Animal Hospital has diagnosed 3 cases of heartworm disease. For the proportionally small amount of money you put into prevention (about $46/month based on body weight),

you can help assure your dog will be protected from the fatal parasite this summer.

If your pet has not been tested for Heartworm disease in the past 9 months and is currently off heartworm prevention, All Creatures Animal Hospital will screen your pet for no charge during the month of April if you agree to buy 12 month supply heartworm preventative medicine.

DENNIS BROUGHTON rect any mistakes or changes in the fair book before it is printed.

All you gardeners please remember to contact Donnie Sroufe at 937-392-1175 or EMail: sroufes@roadrunner.com for our Great Pumpkin Contest sponsored by Trupointe at the fair. Their goal is a 1000 lb. pumpkin by fair time. Prizes of $300, $200, and $100 dollars for the heaviest pumpkins are the prizes. The Brown Co. Horseman Association, great weather, and some great riders helped us with a great Western Show on Saturday of the fair.

We hope you will attend their shows during the summer. They helped me so much this past year with my first year on the Brown Co. Fair Board.

Our Summer Tractor Pull is planned for July 8-9 again this summer. We are interested in getting sponsors for the Summer Pull and the Fair Pull.

If you know someone who might be interested contact us at the office and we’ll show you the packages that we have available for advertising your business at an N.T.P.A. event that packs the stands at the fair

each year. We have camping sites available, food and refreshments, and world class entertainment for the viewers.

The first Brown Co. Talent Show was a great addition to the fair last year. Anyone who saw Andy West bring down the house Saturday night walked away with a sense of pride for the talent in our area here in Southern Ohio. We would love to make the show even better this year. If your business would like to help sponsor this show we have packages to advertise your name with the best new event at the Brown Co.Fair.

Most of you know Bob Hardyman as our Entertainment Director, getting Top Entertainment like Neil McCoy for the Fair. Bob is also the director for the floral hall each year. Bob and his lady helpers had over 5,000 entries this past year to show. In 1860 the Floral Hall was run by 31 men and 55 women. Like these people back in 1860 the Senior and Junior Fair Fair Departments are striving for the 4-H Motto: To Make the Best?

Your Brown Co. Fair will be held on Sept. 26 to Oct. 1, 2011.

You can contact us at: (937) 378-3558 or Fax: (937) 3781361 or E-Mail: brcofair@hotmail.com the website is: www.littlestatefair.com Hope to see you at the 160th Brown Co. Fair

CMYK

How many of you can still remember the 4-H Pledge? My head to clearer thinking, my heart to greater loyalty, my hands to larger service, and my health to better living still sounds true today. I have another granddaughter joining 4-H this year with a rabbit project and a grandson who is in FFA as a freshman representing Junior Fair in Brown Co. There is going to be a lot of fund raisers here in Brown Co. for 4-H this year. Their funding is being cut just like schools and we’re going to have to help keep 4-H in Brown Co. the best in the State of Ohio. Please let me know about them or get with our newspapers or our local radio stations directly and let all of us support 4-H in Brown Co. On April 3 we attended the Ohio Fair Managers Association district meeting in Washington Court House. 21 members from Brown Co. including the 2011 Ohio State Fair Queen Lara Staples enjoyed a meal and discussions about bills in Congress pertaining to running the Brown Co. Fair. We also want to congratulate Nancy Conner on being awarded a plaque from the Greater Ohio Showmen’s Assoc. for her work with the people who set up the rides, food, and games at the fair.

Remember you only have till the first of May for your Fair Book Cover entries. Advisers and directors need to help cor-

Brown County Prosecutor hosts Comprehensive Domestic Violence Training for local agencies

B R O A D S H E E T

Brown County Prosecutor, Jessica Little, hosted a day-long “Domestic Violence” training on March 31st with National Trainer, Officer Michael P. LaRiviere. The training was available for local law enforcement and social service agencies. The training is designed to educate prosecutors, law enforcement, and caseworkers on domestic violence dynamics and liability. The training was co-sponsored by the Brown County Prosecutor’s Office, Brown County Sheriff’s Office and the YWCA and is the first comprehensive trainings that Brown County has ever hosted. The event was open to surrounding communities. The following departments and agencies participated in the training: Aberdeen Police Department, Adams County Prosecutor’s Office, Brown County Children’s Services, Brown County Sheriff’s Office, Fayetteville Police Department, Georgetown Police Department, Highland County Sheriff’s Office, Mt. Orab Police Department, Ripley Police Department, Sardinia Police Department, Women’s Crisis Center in Maysville, and YWCA. We would also like to thank the Brown County Engineer’s Office for the use of their amazing facilities. “Our caseload of domestic and dating violence continues to rise in Brown County and we have had to work extremely hard to respond to and prosecute these crimes. This training will help the first responding law enforcement, the prosecutor’s office, case workers, and social service agencies work together to further improve our immediate response, prosecution, and comprehensive care for victims,” explained Brown County Prosecutor, Jessica Little. The Brown County Prosecutor’s Office also recently applied for a federal U.S. Department of Justice: Rural Sexual Assault, Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, and Stalking grant to expand their ability to Break the Cycle of Violence in Brown County. They hope to receive news in September 2011 if their application receives funding. In the meantime, the office is looking for new community partners, civic groups, and churches who would like to help support victims of these crimes. Specifically, the office will be putting “Safety Plan Folders” and “On the Go Bags” together with toiletry items for victims of abuse that the first responding law enforcement distribute. If you are interested in holding a toiletry drive or helping to stuff the folders or bags please contact, Jessica Roush, Victim Assistance Coordinator at the Brown County Prosecutor’s Office at (937) 378-4151.
