THE BROWN COUNTY
Aberdeen settles suit for 700K BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press A deal has been brokered between the Village of Aberdeen and Shinn Brothers. Inc. The village has up to one year to pay Shinn Brothers $700,000. In exchange, the village will not appeal the December 3 judgement against it for just over one million dollars. Shinn Brothers will also retain ownership of the equipment manufactured for the water plant that was never built. Any proceeds from the sale of that equipment will come off of the $700,000 settlement. Bond holder Annette Mineer has also agreed to loan the village $100,000 to jump start the repayment process. Mineer said her agreement with negotiators was that the

Seated (from left) are council members Jason Phillips, Bill Wilson, Jeanne Combess, Village Solicitor David Grimes, Mayor Harry Foxworthy, Fiscal Officer Nathan Pfeffer, council member Billie Eitel and Jim Perraut.
$100,000 would be repaid by December 31, 2014. Under the agreement with Shinn Brothers, the village must pay $100,000 by January 31 or $225,000 by Febru-
ary 28. With the loan from Mineer, the village must come up with another $125,000 by the end of February to keep the agreement alive.
Shinn Brothers Attorney Tim Heather spoke about the agreement before Common Pleas Judge Scott Gusweiler on December 30. “If for any reason, Ab-
erdeen is not able to make that payment of $225,000 by February 28, Shinn Brothers may terminate the contract at that point and resume commencement on its judgement,
giving Aberdeen credit for whatever payments it may have made by that date”, Heather said in court. The agreement maintains CONTINUED ON PAGE 12
Audit of county finds Ripley man gets life 72K in payment issues in prison for child rape A complete audit of Brown County finances was released by the Ohio Auditor of State on December 31. A press release from the Auditor of State’s office begins “Various accounting errors led to nearly $72,000 in findings for recovery issued in the 2012 audit...All but $4539 of the findings have been repaid to date and a repayment plan for the remaining amount is underway.” The term “repaid” could be misinterpreted by some.
There was never any money missing. Instead the audit focused on overpayments, underpayments or delayed payments. In a letter to the Brown County Commissioners accompanying the release, the Auditor’s Office wrote “During the course of this audit it was brought to the attention of the Auditor of State that certain elected officials were paid above their statutory compensation, that real estate taxes were improperly distributed and that there were some control issues related to the dog tag license sales.”
One item the audit focused attention on was payments to the Brown County and Union Township public libraries from funds generated by the Brown County Library Tax Levy. It was determined on October 2 that the Union Township Public Library was overpaid by $27,627 and that the Brown County Public Library was underpaid by the same amount. The Union Township Public Library paid back the funds, which were then issued to the Brown County Public Library. The press release then CONTINUED ON PAGE 12
Local J&FS encourages families in poverty to seek help from churches and food banks BY Martha B. Jacob The Brown County Press

The Brown County Department of Job and Family Services assists approximately 3,380 local families who lost a temporary boost to Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAPfood stamps) on November 1. The funding was from the American Recovery and Reinforcement Act which has expired. Although the cuts were not drastic, they did have an effect on those Brown County residents now being helped by the food stamp program. According to Mitch Sharp, director of Job and Family Services, food stamp benefits decreased by $36 a month for a family of four. “Most families are adjusting to the cuts as best they can,” Sharp explained. “They have their worst problems with the recent cuts, the last few days of the month when their food stamps run
out.” The ARRA increased assistance in 2009 as a stimulus to the economy. Benefits were increased by 13.6%. Maximum benefits for a sin-
gle person receiving food stamps was $200. With the November changes, a single person now receives $189 in food stamps. CONTINUED ON PAGE 12
BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press A Ripley man has been sentenced to life in prison for raping two children. 38 year old Anthony Jones pleaded guilty to two counts of first degree felony rape of two children, a boy and a girl, in November. One victim was eight years old and the other was ten at the time of the crime. Jones was sentenced to life in prison without possibility of parole by Common Pleas Judge Scott Gusweiler on December 31. Jones was indicted in Au-
gust of 2012 on 15 counts, including rape and sexual battery charges. He was sentenced to life without possibility for parole for the female victim and life without possibility of parole plus ten years for the male victim. Brown County Prosecuting Attorney Zac Corbin said that his office was pleased with the sentence. “We asked for life in prison without the possibility of parole and the judge found that after weighing the factors, he found that life without parole was the only CONTINUED ON PAGE 12

Unemployment up slightly BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press The unemployment rate in Brown County rose slightly in November to 7.9 percent, up .2 percent from 7.7 percent in October. The number of employed individuals remained the same at 19,600 during those two months, meaning that
the increase is based on the rounding of statistics, rather than job losses. The unemployment rate is determined by comparing the number of people in the Civilian Labor Force, subtracting the number of employed persons and dividing the remaining number into the Civilian Labor Force. In November in Brown
County, the Civilian Labor Force rose to 21,300 from 21,200 in October. The number of unemployed persons also rose by one hundred from 1600 to 1700. All numbers are rounded to the nearest hundred, meaning that the changing circumstances of just a few CONTINUED ON PAGE 12

Sardinia residents enjoy Christmas Jam Fest held Dec. 23 BY Martha B. Jacob The Brown County Press
B R O A D S H E E T
The Sardinia Perk hosted a special “Christmas Jam Fest” on Monday, Dec. 23 which was enjoyed by everyone according to owner/operator Gary Troutman. “It was lot of fun,” Troutman said, “This show marked the second performance at the Perk by a couple of the entertainers. We had people stopping in throughout the evening listening to the music.” The music was provided by several members of the Tate Music Group, based in Oklahoma. The performers are all from the Cincinnati area. The Tate Music Group is an organization that partners with its artists to provide them with the production, manufacturing, distribution and promotion they often need to succeed in today’s music industry according to its facebook page. The Tate Music Group works with area musicians and singers to help them set up events in their local areas. Christian singer/songwriter Joy Chadwell was one of the performers who sang at the Sardinia Perk and re-
ceived raved reviews from the crowd. Among her attributes are the songs “Light of Your Mercy”, “Letting Myself Down”, and “Grace”. Elizabeth Delaney, singer/songwriter/musician also performed at the Sardinia Perk on Dec. 23. Delaney combines the drama and orchestral blends of musical theater to the catchy lyrical hooks of classic rock. A large variety of her lyrics are heavily rooted in scripture. Among the songs she sings includes “Hope Beyond Hope”, “Praise and Honor and Glory”, and “Covered is the Blood of the Lamb”. “Both Ms. Delaney and Chadwell performed at the Perk earlier this year,” Troutman said. “So we were very happy to have them back. We also welcomed a newcomer at our event as we introduced Rachel Triebull. Anyone who missed their
concerts really missed out. Hopefully we can have them back in the upcoming months.” Sardinia Perk is a coffee shop with a youth and family friendly game room. It is located at 107 and 109 Winchester Street in Sardinia. The Perk offers fair-trade, organic coffee and tea and specialty drinks including lattes, cappuccinos, macchiatos, spiced chia, hot chocolate, frappes and smoothies. Breakfast and lunch items include donuts, homemade scones and cookies, sandwiches and soup. “I would like to thank everyone who came out for our first ever Jam Fest,” Troutman said, “and we hope to organize another event as soon as we can.” The Sardinia Perk is open every morning at 7 a.m. Monday through Saturday and stays open until 1 p.m. For more information call the Perk at (937) 446-1470.

LaMont Marshall, owner/operator of Sugafoot Productions, LLC
Jon Hart, owner/operator of Stage3 Instruments
New recording studio and musical instrument business open in Mt. Orab Brown County residents now have a new location in Mt. Orab to purchase used and new musical instruments. Stage3 Instruments opened its doors to the public in mid July in 2013. It is owned and operated by Jon Hart. Hart said a friend of his, LaMont Marshall, invited him to use the front of his business, Sugafoot Productions, LLC, at 112 North High Street in Mt. Orab to open Stage3 Instruments. “Sugafoot Productions has been a very successful business,” Hart said, “So I was very happy to join with the recording studio, since the two businesses complement each other. And I felt good about working with LaMont since he brings 10
years experience in engineering and recording to the table.” Hart said his business, Stage3 Instruments is in its early stages but the response from the community has been encouraging. He offers instruments of all kinds, accessories, Pro Audio, minor repairs, strings and cleaning. “I specialize in cleaning, polishing and detailing instruments,” Hart explained. “I have been a musician myself for over 17 years and music is my passion. I’ve tried to fill my store with good clean used instruments as well as new ones. I also offer a special “string and clean” package for stringed instruments as well as lessons for guitar, from a wellknown local musician, guitar instructor. “We carry all types of instruments and accessories
Fatal traffic crash in Adams County The Ohio State Highway Patrol is currently investigating a two-vehicle fatal traffic crash. The crash occurred on January 1, 2014 at approximately 1 p.m. on Brush Creek Road south of Beasley Fork Road, Monroe Township, Adams County, Ohio. A 1999 Chevrolet Venture, operated by Phyllis A. Walls, 68 of West Union, was traveling southbound on Brush Creek Road. A 1999 Ford Ranger, operated by Mary A. Channell, 69 of Manchester, was traveling northbound on Brush Creek Road. The preliminary investi-
gation indicates the vehicle operated by Mrs. Walls failed to yield the right-half of the roadway while negotiating a curve. Mrs. Wall’s vehicle struck Mrs. Channell’s head-on. Mrs. Walls was pronounced deceased at the scene by Adams County Coroner, Dr. Larry Best. Mrs. Channell was transported by Air Evac to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center for treatment. The crash remains under investigation by the Georgetown Post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol.

from stringed instruments, to brass, woodwinds, percussion and even digital instruments such as keyboards and recording equipment.” Hart added that accessories that are available at Stage3 include picks, gig bags and cases, strings, straps, tuners, pitch pipes, stands, drumsticks, cork grease and trombone cream. He said that if something is music-oriented, he can provide it or he can find it. “We look forward to taking in consignments too, at Stage3,” Hart said. “Our store is open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday and can be reached at (937) 444-2652.” In the back of the store is Sugafoot Productions which has a unique relationship with Stage3 Instruments according to Marshall. “With the two businesses working together,” Marshall said, “it allows for the added potential for musicians to flow through the music studio that might not have known that there is a local production facility that they have access to right on the premises. “Other than selling studio time, Sugafoot Productions main product line consists of production studio, qualified engineering staff, cd mastering and cd duplication.” “We feel that Sugafoot Productions offers its customers the opportunity to express themselves creatively and within a professional environment.”

Taking A Trip Through Time Thanks to Lvira Seipelt, Georgetown for sharing this photo. This was taken on September 9, 1899 and appears to be a family reunion. Included with this was a copy of an unknown newspaper clipping of the Miller-Carter Reunion from September 14, 1899 and we are including it, with the thought that they go together. “Miller-Carter Reunion. The Miller and Carter families held a reunion at the residence of John Carter, near Mt. Vernon School House, in Lewis Township, on last Saturday. There were 131 persons present from infants up to the age of 88 years. And such a joyful, merry time, and such a magnificent dinner! The table was full and running over with the finest and best the country affords. The dear ladies had vied with each other to see who could outdo in preparation. I will not attempt to enumerate the luxurious edibles - to appreciate the whole it was necessary to be there. Many a fine spring chicken was sacrificed to satiate the appetite of the vast assembly. Among the families are Metzgers, Hannahs, Reddicks, Gregors, Bolenders, Shinkles, Days, Ellises, Louderbacks, Trislers, Ferrees, Boyds, Howsers, McFaddins, Richeys, McGlassons, Myerses, Jenningses, and others. By one who was there.” ‘Taking a Trip Through Time’ is a feature of the Brown County Press that is supplied by our readers. If you have photos of places within Brown County that are at least 30 years old please feel free to submit them along with some information about the photo to The Brown County Press by email to bcpress@frontier.com or mail them to or drop them off at The Brown County Press 219 South High Street Mt.

Know ramifications of cell phone use Know Ramifications of Cell Phone Use Q: Can I “unlock” my cell phone to get service from a different carrier? A: Yes. It is technologically possible to UNLOCK a phone so it will work for a different carrier. This practice, called “flashing” a phone, is common and legal practice in Europe, where international travel across different national cellservice-provider carriers is usual. In North America, unlocking a phone is sometimes called “jailbreaking,” which is currently illegal in the United States. If you want to change carriers, you must obtain a cell phone that works on the new carrier’s system. You cannot modify your existing phone without violating federal copyright law. Q: What types of information does my cell phone service provider collect? A: All cell phones require a service provider to connect the phone to the network. The most common types of information service providers collect include: phone numbers you have called and phone numbers from which you have received calls; the amount of time you spend on each call; incoming and outgoing text messages; times and dates you

used your phone to access the Internet; the IP address assigned to your phone during your Internet sessions; the IP addresses of the websites you visited during Internet sessions; the geophysical location of your phone. In addition, Microsoft, Blackberry, Android phone and Apple iPhone service providers save passwords and collect WiFi connections. They can also collect application data. Q: What other types of information stored in my phone may be accessed without my knowledge by malware, spyware or other harmful programs? A: Potentially, all information on your cell phone can be compromised. This includes: photos and videos stored on the phone or its “sd” memory card; text messages; your contact list; financial information; passwords; your calendar. Q: How can these harmful programs get onto my cell phone? A: You can infect your phone with such harmful programs by installing applications,

clicking on ads built to infect your cell phone, or by clicking on phony cell phone updates. Q: Can my cell phone information be accessed or stolen in other ways? A: Yes. Whenever you use your cell phone over an unsecured Wi-Fi connection, anyone in the vicinity can intercept data you type into your phone and send over the wireless network. Take special care when using unsecured Wi-Fi connections, and do not transmit password, banking or other financial data unless you are certain the data is being encrypted. Q: What should I do if I lose my cell phone? A: Immediately contact your cell phone service provider. Also, you can install onto your cell phone a “remote wiping” software capability that you can access if your phone is lost or stolen. Because your cell phone also may store a great deal of sensitive personal information, including login and password information, you

should treat the loss of your cell phone as a potential identity theft event. Q: Can my cellphone be bugged or configured to remotely monitor my activities? A: Yes, but it would require physical access to the phone. Such activity may be legal or illegal. For example, it is legal for parents to install special software onto their children’s phones to allow parents to receive text messages about the phone’s location, any calls made and copies of text messages. It is illegal, however, to divulge information obtained by intercepting messages sent over an interstate communications carrier line, according to the Federal Communications Act of 1934, and federal courts generally do not allow wiretap evidence to be used.

SENATOR SHERROD BROWN taught my brothers and me that you are never too old to serve. It’s a lesson I’ve carried with me throughout my life, and one I especially think of during the holidays. Service is part of our country’s moral fabric, and especially in this season of giving, we must remember to take the time to help those in need. Whether it’s reading a book to a child, picking up litter around your neighborhood, or lending a hand to bag groceries at the local food bank, helping those in need is what makes us a great state and nation. As we look forward to a prosperous 2014, let this spirit of generosity guide us to work together to better ourselves and our communities. Together, we will change Ohio, we will change our nation, and we will usher in a new era of productivity and prosperity. From our family to yours, we wish you a safe and happy holiday season.

As 2013 comes to a close, Connie and I want to wish you and your family a safe and blessed holiday season. For me, there’s no greater joy than spending the winter holidays with loved ones. Earlier last month, I visited a homeless veteran’s shelter in Cleveland. I met a man there who wore a necklace with a ring and a cross hanging from it, gifts from his family. In wearing both close to his heart, he said “I am armed with my family and my faith every day.” We should all be so lucky to always be surrounded by the love of our family and friends. But thousands of our brave troops remain far from their loved ones as they serve overseas this holiday season. I ask you to join me in thanking our men and women in uniform for their service. We must always remember their families’ service as well. Our military families have made tremendous sacrifices for our country, and we should show gratitude for their commitments, as well as they prepare for a holiday spent without their loved one.

BY Martha B. Jacob The Brown County Press Fayetteville resident Danny Nichols recently had his gun returned to him after being stolen from his father’s home more than 30 years ago. The late Delbert Nichols, Danny’s father, passed away about three years ago. In February, 2013 Nichols received a surprising call from Fayetteville Chief of Police Randy Carson that his childhood gun had been located in Cincinnati during a drug bust. “My wife and I moved to Illinois in 1979,” Nichols explained, “I left my 22 rifle with my dad to take care of. Back then owning your own rifle or shotgun was pretty important. All my buddies had them and my dad had one that I really liked but he wouldn’t let me shoot it. But when I turned 16 Dad bought me one exactly like his. That was a pretty big deal for me, especially since a few years earlier, dad’s gun disappeared.” Nichols said in 1982 he got a call from his dad informing him that his house had been broken in to and both Danny’s and one of his own guns had been stolen. “I was just heart sick to hear that my gun had been stolen,” Nichols said. “I knew it was still listed in the DEA’s (Drug Enforcement Administration) data bank but we figured we’d never see it again. Dad gave them the serial number just in case it was ever recovered. Ironically, about a month before the gun was found the DEA contacted me to see if I wanted to keep it listed in the data base another year. I told them sure, why not.” According to Chief Car-

son, the gun was found during a drug bust in Cincinnati and he was notified in February that it had been found. “Danny and I have been friends for a lot of years,” Chief Carson said, “It was a good feeling to let him know his gun had been found. You don’t get good news like that too often.” “A detective out of Cincinnati who actually teaches law enforcement at Southern Hills Career and Technical Center brought the gun to work with him and Randy picked it up there. It all worked out nicely. I picked it up at the Fayetteville Police Station on Nov. 1. It was amazing
seeing that gun again. It brought back such great memories of the day dad gave it to me, the years we used it together and of course believing that I would never see it again. I just wish my dad was here to share all this with me. It was just an amazing feeling.” Nichols said he really appreciates the diligence Randy has shown all these years. He said the chief has kept up with all the data regarding the theft and was on top of everything. “This has been a real uplifting experience for me,” he added. “Everyone loves a happy ending and I’m no exception.”

Ohio became stronger and more prosperous in 2013 Over the past three years, the state legislature has taken steps to get Ohioans back to work by creating an environment in which new jobs can be created and businesses can expand. Since 2011, we have made significant progress toward that goal with Ohioans having created more than 170,000 new, private sector jobs. While there is still more work ahead, it is worth reflecting on our state’s great progress. Three short years ago, Ohio faced a projected $8 billion dollar budget shortfall. That fiscal chasm was bridged by our willingness in the Statehouse to make tough choices and recommit our state fiscal discipline. Moreover, I am proud to say that the budget gap was fixed without raising taxes on hard working Ohio families. During this same period, Ohio also implemented the Common Sense Initiative, which streamlined the state’s regulatory process and made it easier for small business start-ups to succeed. We are now seeing the results of those efforts as Ohio’s private sector job growth continues and our state’s business climate improves. Today, Ohioans are benefitting from a lower personal tax burden and an improved economic climate for small businesses. These reforms, which were implemented in the state budget, form a $2.7 billion tax cut, one of the largest single-year tax cuts in Ohio’s history. This measure includes a 10% income tax reduction over three years for all Ohioans, as well as a 50% cut for small businesses on their first $250,000 of income. These changes, along with the closure of several tax
JOE UECKER, STATE SENATOR loopholes, produced a more efficient tax system, capable of attracting and retaining jobs in our state. In the Senate we understand that our students represent our state’s future work force and that we must help them develop the skills necessary for success. This year’s state budget recognized that fact by investing three quarters of a billion dollars in primary and secondary education, the largest legislative investment in education in more than a decade. Other initiatives, such as increased aid to economically disadvantaged students, greater investment in early learning opportunities, and a more equitable school funding formula highlight the General Assembly’s focus on preparing all of Ohio’s students for long-term success. Government efficiency remains one of our pri-

mary focuses in Columbus and we have implemented several new initiatives to improve how the state operates. Earlier this year the General Assembly passed a plan to modernize Ohio’s Medicaid program. Without reform, Medicaid’s proportion of the state budget would grow from 37% in 2003 to more than 50% by 2015. The Senate’s reform plan remedies this issue by creating accountability, improving health outcomes, and ensuring the program’s longterm sustainability. As 2013 comes to a close, Ohio’s taxes are lower, our schools have stronger funding, and the number of employed Ohioans is rising. While there is still more work ahead, we have many reasons to be thankful this holiday season and I believe that our state’s best days are ahead of us. I would like to thank Governor Kasich for collaborating with the General Assembly and I encourage you to remain engaged throughout 2014 as we work to maintain Ohio’s status as the best place to live and raise a family.
tend our support and encourage you as you travel this path. Meetings will be held every Monday and Friday night at Faith In God Fellowship beginning at 7 p.m. Dave Houghton will serve as program coordinator for the event.

TRUE PREDICTION People are always fascinated with Biblical prophecy. They question whether it will ever be fulfilled. Well, I would say to you right now that prophecy has already been fulfilled concerning the first coming of Christ! The prophesies of the first coming of Christ was fulfilled to the letter. I will cover some of those today. The future prophesies of His second coming will be just as accurate as the former ones. Remember that the former prophesies were at one time future ones! Therefore, there is no reason to doubt that every single aspect of these future prophesies will take place. The Bible has proven itself many times over without fault. For instance, the Old Testament prophecy of Christ’s coming in Isaiah 9:6: “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” The first part of this prophecy: “...a child is born, unto us a son is given...” was fulfilled in the New Testament in Matthew 1:18: “...Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.” God made Adam from the dust of the ground; He made Eve from the body of Adam; He made Jesus from the body of a virgin called Mary; Galatians 4:4: “But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman...”. All three were human so because it is all one man’s family by one man came sin into the world and by one man comes the forgiveness of sin (Hebrews 10:5-14) (Romans 5:18-19). In John 3:16 it tells us: “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son...” This certain child, this Son was given to us and for us. It has already taken place. The second part of this prophecy is still future. It is a prophecy of Christ’s coming kingdom. It will take place just as surely as the first part did. I want to insert something here which is off track but is something to remember. There is absolutely no prophecy anywhere in the Bible concerning the Antichrist coming as a child, none, zero! That only exists in someone’s imagination. Next, Isaiah 7:14:

dough. The yeast breaks down the sugar in the dough and turns it into alcohol and carbon-dioxide. The carbon-dioxide (CO2) is important because that is what causes bread and other baked goods to rise. The alcohol evaporates during baking leaving us with light, airy (but alcohol-free) bread. The other use for brewer’s yeast is in making alcoholic beverages, for instance beer, thus the nickname for S.cerevisiae –Brewer’s yeast. Beer is a beverage where both the CO2 and the alcohol are important, although most beers are carbonated the same way carbonated water is, simply by adding CO2 to the finished product. This gives a cleaner more standardized product. Home brewers simply add
a small amount of sugar water as the beer is being bottled. The remaining yeast metabolizes the added sugar and that naturally carbonates the bottled beer. Wineries also use S. cerevisiae. Grape juice is an ideal beverage for yeast as it has a high sugar content and is not very acidic like some other fruit juices. Once again the yeast break down the sugars and release CO2 and alcohol, the CO2 is allowed to bleed off as the alcohol concentration increases. The exception to this is a class of wines called sparkling wines or champagne. With champagne the CO2 is trapped and dissolves in the wine. When the stopper is removed from the bottle the pressure is relieved and most of the dissolved CO2
tries to escape as tiny bubbles. Other alcoholic beverages like vodka and whiskey also start out with some type of plant sugar – vodka uses potato starches and whiskey uses corn – which is then turned into alcohol by yeast. As the alcohol content increases it becomes toxic to the yeast. Once the alcohol reaches 15 to 20 percent the yeast will be killed off and fermentation cannot continue. This is not enough alcohol to make whiskey or vodka so after fermentation these liquors have their alcohol content increased by distillation. So where does this wonderful, multi-functional yeast come from? The answer is not from the store in little packets anymore than chicken comes from
KFC. The yeast S. cerevisiae is present all over, on fruits, on insects, on our skin and especially in wineries and bakeries. When the tough outer skin of fruit is damaged and the sugary pulp is exposed fermentation will usually start just from the yeast that is present naturally. Animals have been known to get drunk from overindulging in fruit that has fermented and now contains alcohol – not as much fun as jello shots, but they seem to enjoy it.

“...Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.” Immanuel means: God with us (Matthew 1:21-25). He was always God and now also became man and will always be man. He is the God man (I Timothy 2:5)! There will only be one man in heaven with scars (Zechariah 13:6) and that is Christ Jesus. Prophecy number 3: Christ’s place of birth was prophesied 700 years before His birth in Micah 5:2 and referrred to by the wise men in Matthew 2:5: “And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet.” The likelihood of all these prophesies taking place exactly as described is enumerable. As a human baby, Jesus had no control over the place of His birth, but God did. We are talking of prophecy prophesied hundreds of years before they actually took place! Look at prophecy number 4: Zechariah 9:9: “...thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.” Fulfilled in Matthew 21:4-9. We all know unbroken colts (Mark 11:2) do not like to be ridden, but yet this one obeyed the voice of God. Prophecy number 5: Zechariah 11:12-13: “...So they weighed for my price thirty pieces of silver. And the LORD said unto me, Cast it unto the potter...” Look at Matthew 26:15 and then Matthew 27:5-7 concerning Judas Iscariot. Number 6: Zechariah 13:7: “...smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered...” Matthew 26:56: “...Then all the disciples forsook him, and fled.” Number 7: Psalm 35:11 and Matthew 26:59, Isaiah 50:6 and Matthew 27:26-31; Isaiah 53:7 and Matthew 27:14. In fact just read all of Isaiah 53 and Psalm 22! And the list goes on!

President Ronald Reagan issued a proclamation creating the first National Sanctity of Human Life Day in January 1984, and it included these words: "We have been given the precious gift of human life, made more precious still by our births in or pilgrimages to a land of freedom. It is fitting, then, on the anniversary of the Supreme Court decision in Roe v. Wade that struck down State anti-abortion laws, that we reflect anew on these blessings, and on our corresponding responsibility to guard with care the lives and freedoms of even the weakest of our fellow human beings." Sanctity of Human Life Sunday is held on the Sunday in January that falls closest to the day on which the Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton decisions were handed down by the U.S. Supreme Court on January 22, 1973. This year SOHL Sunday will take place on January 19, 2013 and commemorates 41 years since that decision. This important day also provides an opportunity for pregnancy care centers to share about the work they do to bring life-affirming resources to their communities and to empower women and men to choose life for their unborn children. The Pregnancy Resource Center “A Place of Hope” in Georgetown, Ohio invites churches in Brown County and surrounding communities the opportunity to be involved. Several opportunities to promote and participate in this very important day are
offered. Bulletin inserts are available free to any church that requests them. A speaker from the Pregnancy Resource Center will come and speak to congregations regarding the PRC and the services provided to promote life and family values, representatives of the PRC are available to speak throughout January and February. Churches are also given an opportunity to participate in the Pregnancy Resource Center’s “Change Changes Lives” project. Participants in “Change Changes Lives” take an empty baby bottle and fill it with loose change. The full bottle is then donated to the PRC; funds raised through this project are used to provide for the needs of clients who come to the PRC for help. The Pregnancy Resource Center “A Place of Hope” is a Christian, nonprofit organization whose goal is to assist women in the midst of an unplanned pregnancy giving them the opportunity to choose life
for their child. The PRC helps clients obtain material goods such as cribs, car seats, diapers, clothes and much more which clients may need to provide for their children. All services are free of charge and open to expectant parents and families with infants and toddlers. No one is turned away. The PRC is not affiliated with any government agency and receives no government funds. It is supported solely by churches, private donations and fundraising events.

Quilt barn painter to open shop in New Richmond
BY KRISTIN ROVER Sun staff
Two years ago, John Stadtmiller and Sylvia Holland brought their first barn quilt paintings to New Richmond to display during the annual Destination Artists event. In January, the couple will open their own barn quilt painting shop, Laurel Barn Quilts, where their business began. “That was our very first show down on Front Street,” Stadtmiller said about Destination Artists. “We got quite a few leads during that show.” Stadtmiller said he painted his first barn quilt only a few weeks before the event as a fun activity with his niece and nephew on Veterans Day. He said after that, he just
started producing more and more barn quilts. “It never gets old because there is always something new coming through,” Stadtmiller said. “I had never taken an art class but I just painted one and liked it. Now I am doing more intricate designs.” Stadtmiller said their business has continued to grow since their first quilts were sold. He said they have traveled to a variety of art shows and commissioned barn quilt paintings for customers who have heard about their work. “We have about 12 to 15 orders in the house,” Stadtmiller said. “It’s turning into a second full-time job now.” Stadtmiller said that after traveling to art shows they decided they wanted to have one location where they could display their work for
customers. “We decided to give it a shot as far as opening a place and being there all the time,” Stadtmiller said. Stadtmiller said they decided to buy a shop in New Richmond, not far from where they live, and not far from where barn quilts originated in Adams County. Stadtmiller said they will sell a variety of barn quilt paintings from their store. He said they will start as low as $20 for a small quilt painting and can go up to $1,000 depending on the size. Stadtmiller said Laurel Barn Quilts will be located at 238 Front Street in New Richmond. He said they will be open beginning Jan. 1 but will have their grand opening during Destination Artists Jan. 25-26.
Union Township to enter into agreement with home developer More than 400 homes could be built on Clough Pike property BY KRISTIN ROVER Sun staff
Union Township Trustees gave Administrator Ken Geis permission to enter into an agreement with Redwood Homes, a company looking at buying property with the township, during their Dec. 26 meeting. “The developer wants to go forward with that,” Geis said about 60 acres of land on Clough Pike near Bach-Buxton Road. Geis said the development project is a $30 million investment that could
bring more than 400 homes o that area. Geis said the agreement is for the township to use Tax Increment Financing funds to improve infrastructure in that area amounting to a maximum of $1.2 million, a level not exceeding 70 percent of the TIF investment in that area. “That incentivizes them to make continued improvements,” Geis said about the agreement. The township already created a TIF district in that area this year after a church purchased property
there for an expansion project. He said they will use the funds from the TIF to pay for improvements. “That will be the mechanism for which we do that,” Geis said about the TIF funds. Trustees approved the agreement during their Dec. 26 meeting. “A $30 million investment bodes well in that area,” Trustee Matt Beamer said. Geis said Redwood Homes is working to finalize a contract to purchase the land. He said the contract was pending the approval of the agreement with Union Township officials.

The University of Cincinnati Clermont Lady Cougars are off to a 9-5 start and will be picking up two local athletes for the second half of the season: Felicity’s Arica Stutz and Western Brown’s Morgan Wright
Lady Cougars road-tested and prepared for stretch run
BY CHRIS CHANEY Sun staff
A tough schedule, difficult venues and the stress of finals week hasn’t been enough to hold down the UC Clermont Lady Cougars as the women’s’ basketball team has proven to have the mettle necessary to make an eighth straight United States Collegiate Athletic Association National Tournament appearance. “We started off pretty well beating a few NAIA Division II schools to start the season,” head coach Michael Matthews said. “I think with our injuries and sicknesses and playing some pretty good teams, we’ve rebounded (lately) after losing four or five games.” A tale of two seasons thus far, the Lady Cougars began the year winning six of their first seven games before losing four of their next six. A statement win over Miami University – Hamilton on Dec. 22 has Coach Matthews encouraged by the progress his team has made. With returning Second Team All-Americans on the

low block (Stacie Lee) and on the perimeter (Ashley Keith), Matthews said his team’s balance has been a key as well as the upperclassmen leadership that has helped to acclimate five freshmen who have entered the fray this season. “For most girls — even on the small college level — they’re used to coming in and being starters,” Matthews explained. “That’s the biggest hurdle coaches face, trying to get girls to come in and be a part of a team and not be the star. “Because we have three seniors and two juniors, we have really good leaders. When our coaches are coaching, the seniors are telling the freshmen that they have to listen because this is how it is.” Aside from Lee and Keith, Goshen product Brooke Catauro, BethelTate alumna Tess Jenike and Lockland grad Dana Finney have helped to make the newcomers understand what Clermont is trying to do. With Ri-Chel McGraw, the team’s third leading scorer, going down with a torn ACL early in the season, Matthews was worried about the depth of his team, but he will soon have the services of two more freshmen who are joining the team midseason. “We’re a little thin on our depth, which is unusual for us,” Matthews said. “We’re picking up Arica Stutz from Felicity…and Morgan Wright from Western Brown.”
Both Stutz and Wright were Division I scholarship athletes before deciding to return closer to home and play basketball for the Lady Cougars, adding muchneeded depth. Sitting at 9-5 halfway through the season, Matthews is pleased with how his team has played, especially considering just three of the squad’s games so far have been at home. “It’ll be nice to get some home games (in the second half of the season),” Matthews said. “As far as expectations, we’re going to have to beat some good teams. We’re playing fewer games this season, so we have a smaller room for error to make the USCAA National Tournament. We need to stay in the top-five (in the national rankings) and we’re no. five right now, so we just have to keep winning.” Matthews said that the team goals are pretty simple and fall in line with what the team has been building over the past few years. “First of all, we want to win our league, (the Ohio Collegiate Athletic Conference),” he said. “The second thing is to keep improving and getting better game by game and finish the season strong.” The Lady Cougars will take the court for the first time in 2014 when they play host to Sinclair Community College on Jan. 4 at 1 p.m.

payment benchmarks the village must meet to continue to keep the agreement alive. If the village makes the $125,000 payment on February 28, it may make $5000 payments on the 15th of March, April, May and June, leading up to a final payment of $475,000 on July 15th. If that benchmark is not met, the village may pay $10,000 per month on the 15th of each month from July through December and paying $475,000 at the end of December. Gusweiler said from the bench that he will reserve oversight of the agreement and resolve any disputes. On December 31, the Aberdeen Village Council met in special session to approve
sale should be advertised for bids’, Eitel said from her council seat. The vote appears to clear the way for the village to place the water system up for sale. Brown County Board of Elections Member Dallas Hurt questioned the December 31 votes of the Aberdeen Village Council. Hurt maintains that council members Bill Wilson and Jeanne Combess, who were appointed to council by Mayor Harry Foxworthy, have not been issued Certificates of Appointment by the Brown County Board of Elections. The procedure for issuing such certificates is spelled out in the Election Official Manual for Ohio County Boards of Election, a publication by the office of the
Audit of county finds 72K in payment issues CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 notes that in 2012 “the county incorrectly distributed senior services levy monies from the Second Half 2009 Real Estate and Manufactured Home Rollback and the 2012 Manufactured Homestead Rollback into the general fund instead of to the correct senior services agencies.” The following payments were made October 18 from the general fund; • $15,064 to Brown County Senior Services • $15,064 to ABCAP • $7531 to Northern Brown County Senior Services • $841 to Brown County Public Library • $273 to Union Township Public Library The press release then cites “salary calculation errors” made by Brown County Auditor Doug

the settlement agreement. Council Members Billie Eitel, Jim Perraut, Jason Phillips, Bill Wilson and Jeanne Combess voted yes to approve the settlement. Outgoing council member Jerry Applegate did not attend the meeting. Council also voted to amend a previous agreement with Mineer to reduce her $2,742,886.27 settlement offer to reflect the $100,000 that Mineer loaned the village. The Aberdeen Village Council also voted to repeal the 2010 ordinance that called for the water treatment plant to be built. “This is repealing that ordinance and declaring that the Aberdeen water system is obsolete, unfit, not needed and should be offered for sale and directing that the
Green in 2012 for overpayments of $154.00 to Clark Gray and Mary Lindsey in the Clerk of Courts Office. Salary calculation errors are also cited as the reason for overpayments to Judges Margaret Clark and Scott Gusweiler for $329.00. All of these monies were paid back by the individuals involved when they were notified of the overpayment. A larger overpayment was made to Brown County Municipal Judge Joseph Worley in the amount of $4539.37. The press release reads “Prior to 2012, the county auditor was incorrectly advised to pay (Worley) an additional $2093.40 per year, causing the judge to be overpaid by $4539.37.” Worley has set up a repayment plan to repay the funds at $910.00 per month. The audit report itself discusses issues with dog tags issued by the county
auditors office in 2012. “The Auditor’s Office did not maintain an accurate listing of tag numbers distributed for sale to satellite locations”, the report reads. The report also mentions that satellite locations did not maintain an individual record of dog tags sold, and questioned the procedures in place for documentation of receipts and fund transfers. Under “Client Response” to the dog tag section, the following was submitted by the county. “In January 2012 a new County Auditor took Office. Upon discovery of issues during the audit for 2012, monies were distributed and corrections were made. The County Auditor has worked diligently to put in place new procedures in the County Auditor’s Office so these discrepancies found in 2012 will not happen again.”
never been an issue before makes you wonder what the motive was behind it. I feel the rest of the board members on the Board of Elections should realize that Mr. Hurt is using his position as a board member for his own interests.” Ohio Revised Code 3.02 “Elective office filled by appointment-term of appointee” was cited by Hurt reads as follows: When an elective office becomes vacant and is filled by appointment, the appointing authority shall, immediately but no later than seven days after making the appointment, certify it to the board of elections and to the secretary of state. The board of elections...shall issue a certificate of appointment to the appointee.” Hurt responded via e-mail to Eitel’s comments regarding his interest in the issue, writing “As to Mrs. Eitel comments and allegations, I didn't raise the issue as she
states. I only addressed a question as to the practices in Aberdeen, which have been going on for some time. I am sure that the other Board Members and the Secretary of State know that my only interest in serving on the Board of Elections is to assure clean and fair elections and stand against corruption and hooliganism. Beyond that I have no other interest. The Board of Elections files are filled with communications to the appointing authorities in Brown County instructing them on the proper procedures of filling vacancies, including specific letters to the Aberdeen Village Government. Nowhere else in this County is the appointment law so flaunted as in Aberdeen. Any technicality over which there might be a gray area is unknown to us." The next scheduled meeting for the Aberdeen Village Council in January 6 at 6:30 p.m.
Local J&FS encourages families in poverty to seek help from churches and food banks CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 “I know a lot of people don’t consider that amount all that much,” Sharp continued, “But that small amount could mean a great deal to a family who depends on that amount to feed their families. Brown County has some wonderful resources which I encourage our families to check out. When the cuts first happened, I was getting calls from people about running out of food towards the end of the month. I told them to check out area churches and food pantries.” Sharp said that Brown County offers some really good food pantries and also mentioned the Sisters at Chatfield and St. Vincent DePaul as entities that help people when they need it most. He said he felt like the cuts were being somewhat balanced out with the help of the churches and pantries. “They have done a great
job in responding to these families needs,” he added. “And that Farm Bill that could possibly restore these cuts is still out there and being discussed and has not been voted on at this time. There are groups of lobbyists out there that still and many advocates against poverty that could make a difference. And that’s a great thing. I do however feel like, if your family is living in poverty, $40 a month less than you’ve been living on, can be a real hardship.” Sharp said the loss of those funds from over 3,000 families could also have an adverse effect on the local economy since those funds are not being put back into local grocery stores. He added that another issue facing families living in poverty are the holidays, when parents have to provide extra meals for their children who generally receive free breakfasts and free or reduced lunches at school.
According to Ruth Ellen Kidwell, income maintenance supervisor with J&FS, the agency encourages anyone who is not currently on the food stamp program to apply for them. She said the agency does everything it can to accommodate people by allowing them to apply on line, by phone or in person. She said some people just aren’t comfortable coming in to the office. “It just seems like with every turn these families are getting dinged,” Kidwell said. “Sometimes they lose their food stamp benefits, then they get an increase in Social Security, but then we take it away because they’re on fixed incomes that make them eligible for food stamps. It’s like one hand taking from the other. And it’s hard for families to rebound.” To learn more about the benefits offered by Job and Family services, visit www.odjfs/benefits.gov.

made it particularly bad. “We have two separate victims, which shows that this offender is even more of a risk than others who commit this crime. He not only perpetrated these crimes against a female, but also a male. It’s unusual and dangerous that an offender would commit such a crime against both sexes.” He also touched on the damage that Jones did. “The mother was at the sentencing and she asked that he be sentenced to life without parole because of the damage he had done to her children. He took every bit of that trust and violated it to
the point that I don’t know if these children will ever be able to completely trust another human being again. And that’s the tragedy in all of this.” Corbin said that prosecuting cases of this nature are difficult for everyone involved, but they are an unfortunate part of the job. “I can go home knowing that he’s going to be in a place where he can never harm another child”, Corbin said. Because Jones was sentenced to the maximum time allowed by law, he has the right to appeal his sentence.

"It is the studied opinion of this Board Member that no action voted on and passed based on the assistance of Wilson and Combess will be effective if done on December 31, 2013”, Hurt said via e-mail to the Brown County Press. Wilson and Combess were both elected to council with terms beginning January 1, 2014. As duly elected council members, they already possess certificates of appointment for actions taken beyond that date. Regarding the question, outgoing council member Eitel said “My research leads me to think that the code he used was for county offices and that as far as certifying appointed seats on village council, there may be a technicality there, but it doesn’t void the seat.” Eitel then questioned the reason that Hurt raised the issue. “The fact that this has

Frontier enhances broadband service to households, businesses in Mount Orab area Frontier Communications (NASDAQ: FTR) has enhanced its broadband service to more than 1,000 households and businesses in the Mount Orab area of Brown County, Frontier General Manager Bethany Yost said today. “Frontier is improving its broadband network across southern Ohio, providing customers with faster speeds that support multiple applications in area homes and businesses,” Yost said. “We are committed to making leading-edge broadband services available to residential and business customers throughout all our markets.” Yost said residential customers now have access to broadband service of up to 24 megabits per second (Mbps). She encouraged residents in the Mount Orab area to call 1-
800-921-8101 toll-free for information about service options, including the opportunity to bundle broadband service with telephone and television services and realize substantial savings. Residential customers ordering Frontier broadband for the first time can start at just $19.99 per month with a qualifying phone service, she said. The no-contract offer provides a two-year price guarantee for broadband service. Yost said business owners and managers can call 1-877-501-5661 toll free for information about acquiring business-class speeds and Frontier’s $19.99-per-month broadband promotion for businesses. Part of the broadband enhancement project was made possible through subsidies from the federal Connect America Fund
(CAF), Yost said. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has proclaimed broadband service necessary for citizens seeking to fully participate in the nation’s economy and society. To expand broadband service, the FCC transformed the telephone-focused Universal Service Fund (USF) into the CAF. Yost said Frontier also offers a satellite-delivered service – Frontier Broadband – that is ideal for many households that do not have access to landbased broadband service. She added that Frontier Broadband residential service delivers an impressive array of speeds that allow customers to stream video and use other high bandwidth applications – up to 5 Mbps download/1 Mbps upload to 15 Mbps download/2 Mbps upload.

The Brown County Press - Sunday, January 5, 2014 - Page 13
The Christmas decorations are up and I have already received four seed catalogs in the mail! I have to admit that I am not ready to start shopping for next year’s seeds quite yet, but we all know that if you haven’t sent your order in by the end of January you run the risk of not getting the seeds you want. As you start to browse through those enticing catalogs you need to ask yourself a few questions when considering seeds and plant material. First question, what exactly is the plant in question? Most vegetables and flowers are pretty straightforward, but sometimes a plant is written up to have
outstanding and perhaps unexpected features. Common names may vary, so look for Latin or scientific names to be listed. If not given, you may not get the plant you think you are ordering. Next ask yourself, do I really need it? (This is a tough question for any gardener.) The plant may have outstanding characteristics, but could be a poor fit for an individual situation. For fruit and vegetable crops, make sure you actually have a use for the crop once harvested. When considering flowers, shrubs, or trees, they need to fit the site where planted. This means not only the right sun or shade levels and soil conditions, but also fitting into the scheme of the landscape.
Question 3, will it grow here? Plant hardiness is a very important selection factor for trees, shrubs, and ornamental plants. Be sure to check the hardiness zone for your area. Finally, what are the needs of the plant? Needs usually include things such as fertilizer, water, light, pruning, and space. Again, consider whether the plant is really a good fit for your yard and garden and the amount of attention you plan to give. Also consider how pest prone a plant may be when making a decision as to buy it or not. As you start to browse through those new catalogs don’t forget to have a pen and note pad so you aren’t like me and forget what I wanted to order and from which catalog!
Wenstrup looking for answers on dropped doctors, $200 billion cuts Cuts Under Obamacare could Affect 700,000 Ohio Seniors’ Access to Doctors As HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius dodged questions during a congressional oversight hearing Wednesday, Congressman Brad Wenstrup is drawing attention to the seniors in Ohio who are losing access to their trusted physicians due to the cuts to Medicare Advantage in the president’s health care law. Wenstrup, a physician of 26 years, called the impacts “devastating to Ohio seniors” and explained he is concerned with recent moves to drop doctors and limit provider networks within Medicare Advantage plans. “As a physician, I know how vital the doctor patient relationship is to achieving better health outcomes.” “I’m hearing from Ohio
DR. BRAD WENSTRUP US CONGRESS seniors who were told if they liked their doctor and health plan, they could keep their doctor and health plan. Now, Obamacare is forcing many seniors to choose between the two as Medicare Advantage plans drop doctors from their networks to make up for Obamacare’s $200 billion in cuts to the program.” In a letter to Marilyn Tavenner, Administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Wenstrup and ten other members of the Ohio delegation are requesting specifics on how these cuts will affect Ohio seniors and Medicare Advantage providers on a county by county basis over the next four years. “It’s already happening: one constituent told me they’re looking at an
extra 100 miles of travel every week because the specialist in their county is dropped from their plan. Another has had their cancer specialist eliminated from their network,” Wenstrup noted. “We’re facing Medicare Advantage cuts that may impact upwards of 700,000 Ohio seniors. That means our parents and grandparents, our greatest generation, could have to pay more for less choice when it comes to their health care,” Wenstrup said. “This just doesn’t measure up to the soaring rhetoric President Obama used to get Obamacare passed.” The $200 billion in cuts to Medicare Advantage were enacted into law as part of President Obama’s health care reform in 2010. Just last month, the Ohio State Medical Association highlighted the first round of dropped doctors across Ohio, citing numerous areas in the state that were losing specialist coverage.

Ohio Therapeutic Horsemanship has a new sensory trail on the property of Cherry Ridge Farms in Georgetown. Nature has many sights, sounds, smells and textures, creating a rich sensory environment. The 'OTH Corral' sensory trail will utilize all that nature has to offer and then enhance it even further with obstacles strategically placed to create varieties of colors, textures and scents. The obstacles form sensory stations specifically designed to provide a new array of therapeutic riding activity opportunities. Ohio Therapeutic Horsemanship provide opportunity for personal growth to any child who is challenged physically, mentally or emotionally. Riders will be guided by two walkers as they conquer the trail and obstacles. Obstacle stations include a bridge, multiple railroad crossings (landscape timbers), monster truck tires, skill games, a sandpit, bells to ring, mailboxes to open and end with an array of Styrofoam (pool) noodles to ride under and through. Hamersville Boy Scout Troop 629 partnered with the OTH to create a fun riding trail experience, that will facilitate attending, engaging, communication and

thinking. With the goal of improving motor skills for the rider and making them able to behave in a more functional manner throughout their everyday life. The Troop camped the first weekend in November while working along with other volunteers to build the trail. Troop member Lucas Hiler was involved from the
beginning, orchestrating with OTH instructor Jessica Moorhouse, the planning, development and completion of the project as his Eagle Scout Service Project. The Eagle Scout Service Project is the opportunity for a young man to demonstrate leadership of others while performing a project for the benefit of his community.
The Scout must plan, develop and lead others in doing the project. Lucas hopes to complete his remaining requirements and earn Eagle Scout in February of 2014. When asked why he chose this project, Lucas responded "I wanted to do this project because my Mother is an aide to a special needs boy at Hamersville
School. I know the kids in her class well, as after I get out of school I go to the class to help. This project, I felt was meaningful to me, because it helps out the kids that are like the ones I help out with. I hope that project positively effects many children as well as workers and adults for many years to come".
The project received several donations which were much appreciated. The trail was finished in mid - December as the totem pole was set next to the Teepee at the entrance. The OTH will work with the horses, making them comfortable with obstacles, and the first riders will begin using the trail in the spring.
Brown County Pioneers - The Reeves Family The Brown County Genealogical Society is reintroducing this column which first appeared in The Brown County Press over 30 years ago. The Society’s goal is to spark reader interest and encourage participation in researching one’s family roots at the local level. If you have ever used Ancestry.com or other genealogical search websites, have you wondered where all the Brown County-related information is derived? Much of it comes from primary documents and records maintained at the county government offices and from the extraordinary collection of research materials available at the Brown County Genealogical Society (BCGS) library. This collection includes birth, death, and marriage records, copies of obituaries and newspapers, historical publications, and family histories, to name a few sources. Regularly in The Brown County Press, the BCGS
LINKS AND CLUES BROWN COUNTY GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY will introduce you to a Brown County Pioneer family who may be related to you whether or not your last name is REEVES. REEVES FAMILY – One branch of the Brown County Reeves family originated from George Reeves and his wife Ann Doggett who were both born in Lancaster County, VA. Their son, Asa, and his wife Sarah Lambert later raised a large family in Prince William County, VA. This family consisted of seven sons, Benjamin (adopted), William, Elias, Jabes, Asa Jr., George, and Isaac, and six daughters, Ann Doggett (Crooke), Susannah Reeves, Sally Collingworth (Mahan), Elizabeth (Jones), Margaret (Burk), and Jane (Carter). Asa Reeves was a veteran of the American
Revolution as were his sons, William, born 8 April 1764, and Elias, born 1769. The family moved to Fleming County, KY, in approximately 1790. Elias, also known as Eli, married Sarah Ann Redman on 28 January 1791 in Mason County, KY. Elias and Sarah moved to Ohio in the early 1800s and settled in what later became Byrd Township, Brown County, Ohio. Elias died there in 1825. His widow, Sarah, moved with most of their children to Rush County, Indiana, where she was buried on 21 Feb 1848. William Reeves may have been married three times, first to Amelia Lancaster in Bracken County, KY, in 1801 and later to Eleanor Wood in Fleming County, KY, in 1806. According to the Kentucky Gazette of 8 March 1808, “William Reeves says his wife, Eleanor left him and he won’t pay her bills.” William and Amelia had one probable son named
William, who married Frances Fisher, and one probable daughter named Elizabeth, who married Ephraim Jacobs. By 1810, the elder William moved to Ohio and resided in the Byrd Township region of Adams County where he married a third time to Catherine Brown on 21 September 1810. William and Catherine had one known son named John T. Reeves born 2 August 1811. At the time of the 1840 Ohio Census, William and Catherine lived in Washington Township, Brown County, Ohio, where he died before 1850. A second branch of a Reeves family settled in Perry Township, Brown County, Ohio. According to the 1850 Ohio Census, Thomas Reeves, born about 1813 in England, and his wife, Elizabeth, born in Pennsylvania in 1817, lived with children Emanuel, Elizabeth, Mary, Thomas, and baby William, near Fayetteville. Emanuel Reeves and his
descendants later spread to Green and Sterling Townships in Brown County. It is not known if the Reeves clan of Byrd Township were related to the Reeves family of Perry Township. You could be related to one or the other branch of the Reeves family and not even know it. COME VISIT US! If you are a beginner, a
seasoned researcher, or just want to learn to whom you are related, we welcome you to visit us at the BCGS library located at 200 East Cherry Street (the Old Jail), Georgetown, Ohio, open Thursdays and Saturdays, except holidays, from 12 noon until 5:00 p.m. Or call us at 937-378-2746.

Lady Rockets win BC Classic Fayetteville-Perry girls end holiday tournament drought BY Wade Linville The Brown County Press The Fayetteville-Perry Lady Rockets are the 201314 Brown County Classic Holiday Tournament champions after cruising to a 5918 victory over the Eastern Lady Warriors in round one of the tournament on Dec. 27, and then returning to their home court Dec. 28 to claim a 54-41 win over the Western Brown Lady Broncos in the championship
bout. This marked the first time a Fayetteville-Perry varsity girls basketball squad had captured a Brown County Classic Holiday Tournament crown since the 19951996 season. The Lady Rockets jumped to a 14-6 lead over the Lady Broncos in the first quarter of the championship bout and never looked back, upping their lead to 33-17 by halftime break.
“Phenomenal,” Fayetteville-Perry head coach, Toby Sheets, said regarding his team's performance in this year's Brown County Classic. “It was a total team effort.” The Lady Broncos rallied back early in the third, outscoring the Lady Rockets 10-5 in the opening minutes of the second half to cut the Fayetteville lead to 11, but it didn't take long for the Lady Rockets to once again find their rhythm, speeding up the tempo of the game.

Prine racked up 10 points in the second half of the tournament championship game, sinking four shots from the field and two shots from the foul line. He ended the night with 18 points.
“I thought the kids showed some toughness as a team, and they didn’t quit,” said Eastern coach Rob Beucler following his Warriors’ win over the GMen. “I told the kids that Georgetown was a very good, well-coached team, and they had to play very well to win.

pressure on them to get back in the game. We have sophomores that see a lot of varsity playing time, and I thought everyone played well and contributed.” In one of the most exciting bouts between Brown County teams this season, the G-Men found themselves with a 67-60 lead over the Warriors after junior postman Gage Bradley rose for a score in the paint with 3:57 to go in the fourth quarter. The Warriors cut the GMen’s lead to five points, as Eastern senior Nathan Scott buried a jump-shot from the side with 3:38 to go in the final frame. After holding the G-Men scoreless in the next trip down the court, a bucket by Eastern’s Riley Prine left the Warriors trailing by just three, 67-64, with the clock closing in on the threeminute mark. Georgetown junior Jake Cropper buried a set of free throws to lift the G-Men to a 69-64 lead with 2:54 to go in the fourth, but what followed was an old fashioned three-point play by Scott to slice the Georgetown lead to 69-67. Aggressive defense continued on both ends of the court in the final minutes, making scores hard to come by. With 35 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter, it was Prine rising for a score from down low to tie the game at 69. The many fans that filled the gymnasium at Fayetteville-Perry High School were on the edge of their seats as the two teams battled for the lead in the final seconds. Bradley, tightly guarded by Eastern defenders, missed a shot in the paint and it was Eastern sophomore Mickey Hundley pulling down the defensive rebound for the Warriors. Hundley was fouled in the bonus after pulling down the rebound, earning a trip to the charity stripe with a chance to give the Warriors the lead with 12 seconds to go. Cheers from Eastern fans rang
through the gymnasium as Hundley buried both clutch free throws to give the Warriors a 71-69 lead. In desperate need of a score, Bradley was fouled on a shot to earn a trip to the foul line with 3.7 seconds left on the clock. Bradley missed his first attempt, and after missing out on the chance to tie the game at the foul line, he allowed his second free throw attempt to bounce off the rim with hopes of a G-Man grabbing the offensive rebound. Bradley’s missed free throw landed in the hands of Scott, who would then lose the ball out of bounds to give the G-Men one final shot with just three seconds to go and possession of the ball under their own basket. A last second shot by tightly guarded Georgetown junior Jacob Miller would miss its mark, and it was the Warriors coming away with the fifth straight Brown County Classic Holiday Tournament championship for the Eastern varsity boys’ basketball program. Scott led the Warriors with 34 points in the tournament win over the GMen, sinking 13 shots from the field that included two three-pointers and six-ofseven attempts from the foul line in an impressive offensive performance. Prine fired for 18 points against the G-Men, coming through with some big buckets in the Warriors’ second-half rally.

Ripley boys down Felicity in round one, fall to Archbishop McNicholas in tourney finals BY Wade Linville The Brown County Press The Ripley-UnionLewis-Huntington Blue Jays topped the FelicityFranklin Cardinals 65-44 in round one of the 2013 Ripley Pepsi Classic Tournament Dec. 27, but fell to Archbishop McNicholas 63-37 in the championship game held Dec. 28 to finish as the tourney runner-up. Both teams struggled to gain an edge early on in the round one bout between the Jays and the Cardinals, but the Jays would dominate the second half to pull off a 21-point victory to earn a berth in the tournament championship game. The Cardinals held a 1512 lead over the Jays at the end of the first period, with 13 points coming from Felicity’s Jordan Utter. Utter rifled in a three-pointer to kick off scoring for the night, giving the Cardinals a 3-0 lead. Ripley’s junior guard Hunter Hamilton started off an outstanding night of scoring by sinking one-oftwo attempts from the charity stripe after he was fouled on a shot less than a minute into the game, cutting the Cardinals’ lead to two. With 5:43 to go in the first quarter, an assist by Ripley’s junior guard Austin Whitt led to a bucket by Hunter Hamilton to tie the game at three. The Cardinals broke the knot in the next trip down the court, as Utter scored on a drive to the hoop to give his team a 5-3 advantage. Utter later buried one-oftwo attempts from the foul line after he was fouled on a shot, expanding the Cardinals’ lead to 6-3. The Cardinal lead was sliced to one when Whitt grabbed an offensive rebound and buried the putback to lead the Jays trailing 6-5. The Jays took their first lead of the night (7-6) when senior forward Jesse Cannon pulled down a rebound and sank the put-back with 3:50 to go in the first period, but it was Utter coming through with another quick bucket to put the Cardinals back on top, 8-7. Other than Utter, the only other Cardinal to fire for points in the first quarter was Trevor Barron, who rose for a score in the paint to put Felicity up 10-7. What followed was a steal and score on transition by Utter to widen the margin to five points. Hunter Hamilton broke the Cardinal run by draining a shot from beyond the arc with 2:04 to go in the first quarter, leaving the Jays
trailing by just two, 12-10. It was Hunter Hamilton coming through with a score on transition with a minute to go in the first quarter to tie the game at 12. Scoring in the first period ended with Utter sinking a three-pointer, and with one quarter in the books it was the Cardinals holding a narrow three-point lead. Barron kicked off scoring in the second quarter, knocking down a bucket from close range to lift the Cardinals to a 17-12 lead. On the other end of the court, it was Cannon battling for another field goal in the paint to slice the Felicity lead to just three. The Cardinals applied some full-court defensive pressure early in the second period, causing little problems for the Jays. The Jays glided through the Cardinals full-court zone press to find senior Bryce Hill for an easy score to cut the Felicity lead to 17-16 with 6:23 remaining in the first half. Whitt took a pass from Hill for a score to put the Jays on top 18-17, but a three-pointer by Felicity’s Trenon Young put the Cardinals up 20-18 with the clock closing in on the midway point in the second period. Another three-pointer by Young expanded the Cardinals’ lead to 23-18 with 4:18 to go in the first half. Ripley’s senior guard/forward Andrew Inskeep got in on the scoring with 3:57 to go in the first half, burying a shot from close range to leave the Jays trailing by just three; but Felicity’s Austin Man drained a shot to put the Cardinals up 2520. The Cardinals took a 2720 lead with just over three minutes to go in the first half, as Barron connected for a two-point field goal. The Jays went a 7-0 run to end the first half. An assist by Ripley junior Christian Bradford for a score by Hunter Hamilton cut the Cardinal lead to 2724, then it was Hunter Hamilton draining a threepointer with a minute to go in the second period to tie the game at 27. At halftime break, the two teams were knotted at 27 apiece. The Jays started the second half by making a 5-0 run, and after taking a lead early on in the third period they would never look back. Ripley junior Holton Hamilton connected for a score from close range to put the Jays up 34-30, then it was Whitt rebounding his own miss and free throw
and scoring on the put-back to put the Jays up 36-30. The Jays took a 39-30 lead as Hunter Hamilton tick led the twine from beyond the arc with 4:15 to go in the third period. Hunter Hamilton connected on a floater from the side to give the Jays a 4130 lead with 3:50 to go in the third quarter. The third quarter ended with Bradford sinking a set of free throws after he was fouled on a shot, and it was the Jays leading 48-32 entering the fourth frame. The Jays continued to build on their lead in the fourth quarter, and it was junior guard/forward Preston Kirk driving through the lane to lay in an easy score with 7:08 to play, putting the Jays up 52-35. Kirk banked in a shot with 6:20 to go in the fourth quarter, helping the Jays to maintain their 17point advantage. The Jays closed out tournament play in night one of the Pepsi Classic with a dazzling finish to take down the Cardinals, while Archbishop McNic holas cruised to a 71-15 victory over the St. Patrick Saints in round one of the tournament earlier that night. Hunter Hamilton led the Jays in their win over the Cardinals with 24 points, while Whitt also fired for double figures to finish with 11 points. Utter led the Cardinals with 18 points. The Jays were clearly outmatched while facing the skilled McNicholas squad in the Pepsi Classic Championship game o n Dec. 28, falling by 26 points to finish as the tourney runner-up. Whitt led the Jays with 10 points in the tournament championship game. The Jays stood at a 5-2 overall record after competing in the Pepsi Classic, and remained 2-0 in Southern Hills Athletic Conference play.

In front, from left, are Richard Rosselot (father), Makayla Rosselot, and Lory Rosselot (mother); back row, Ryan Rosselot (brother), AAU basketball coaches Erin McClain and Jeff McClain, Fayetteville-Perry varsity girls’ head basketball coach Toby Sheets, and Fayetteville assistant basketball coaches Tory Rummel, Russ Ward, and Lindsey Tussey.
Rosselot signs with Ursuline BY Wade Linville The Brown County Press It’s official! FayettevillePerry High School’s senior basketball star, Makayla Rosselot, has signed her letter of intent to continue her basketball career at the collegiate level with Ursuline College. A signing ceremony was held for Rosselot Dec. 28 at Fayetteville-Perry High School with family, friends, and coaches present. Rosselot has enjoyed an outstanding basketball career at Fayetteville-Perry High School, receiving not only Southern Hills Athletic Conference honors multiple times, but also receiving
honors such as Southwest District Player of the Year. Rosselot was pleased to see all her hard work in hoops pay off, giving her the opportunity to take her career to the next level. “It feels really good that all of the hard work has paid off,” said Rosselot. “It also feels good to know that I’ve received so much support over the years.” Rosselot was undecided as to what she may major in during her first year at Ursuline, but leaned toward their nursing program if the course schedule does not conflict with her commitment to the Ursuline women’s basketball team. Playing a role in
Rosselot’s decision was the academic help Ursuline offers to its athletes so they will succeed in the classroom. “Ursuline seemed very homey and comfortable to me, and they offer academic help for their athletes if they need it,” said Rosselot. Rosselot said she will miss all of her friends, educators, and coaches who were there to support her during her time at Fayetteville-Perry High School; but before leaving behind her high school she has one ultimate goal in mind...to aid her varsity basketball team to a state title.
Tournament: Lady Rockets win BC Classic CONTINUED FROM PAGE 15 third quarter, it was Fayetteville senior Megan Eyre grabbing a steal and dishing a pass to sophomore Samantha Murphy for a score to put the Lady Rockets up 42-27. With one minute to go in the third quarter, Fayetteville senior Makayla Rosselot drove baseline for a bucket to expand the Lady Rocket lead to 46-30. Entering the fourth quarter, the Lady Rockets held a 48-35 lead. “We came out in a man to man defense in the third quarter, and they were taking us to the hole,” said Sheets. “So, we went back to the zone. We like the zone and I don't think we foul as much (in a zone defense), and we force teams to shoot outside. We knew they were short two good players (Morgan Nickell and Mackenzie Brooks). We wanted to force them to shoot outside if possible, and they were hesitant with it. We tried to switch things up. I think if you switch up your defense it throws teams off balance, and we have some players who can play defense.” Buckets were hard to come by in the fourth frame, as the Lady Rockets took their time on offense while holding a comfortable lead, and the Lady Broncos struggled to knock down
shots while facing a solid Fayetteville defense. Both teams would score just six points apiece in the final period, and it was the Lady Rockets staking claim to a 13-point victory in front of their home crowd in the Brown County Classic championship game. With two wins in the Brown County Holiday Classic, the Lady Rockets stood at an overall record of 9-0 on the season. “We played a pretty good game, and beat a good team,” said Sheets. “We're where we want to be right now.” Rosselot led the way for the Lady Rockets in the tournament championship win over the Lady Broncos, firing for 16 points. Eyre also shot for double figures, finishing with 12 points. Fayetteville junior Lincoln Smyth ended the night with nine points. Leading the Lady Broncos in the championship game against the Lady Rockets was Hannah Sininger with 13 points, while Western Brown's Lindsey Harvey shot for 11 points. In the varsity girls consolation game, it was the Georgetown Lady G-Men claiming a 49-27 win over the Eastern Lady Warriors to finish third in the tournament after the Lady G-Men suffered a narrow 58-56 loss to the Western Brown
Lady Broncos in round one on Dec. 27. Named to the Brown County Classic All-Tournament Team were Lauren Towne, Eastern; Lindsey Harvey, Western Brown; Kenzi Carrington, Georgetown; Megan Eyre, Fayetteville; and Makayla Rosselot, Fayetteville. In girls junior varsity tournament action, the Western Brown Lady Broncos topped the FayettevillePerry Lady Rockets by a narrow score of 42-40, and the Eastern Lady Warriors won the consolation game over Georgetown 32-29.

Depending upon your marketing success, you can earn back part, all or more of your $100 simulation investment. ### Postmortem Exams Can Save Lives Last week I had some information about plastic string and net wrap used to bale hay. It included some of the concerns and problems that it could cause on the farm. The following does touch on one of the concerns, but this is not the moral of the story. The moral of the story would be this: Unexplained deaths need to be investigated. I have discussed this issue before, but the need to find out what caused an unexplained death in a livestock
operation can be priceless. Hearing it from another source is never a bad thing either. The following information is by Heather Smith Thomas, and it recently showed up in the Beef Blog from the Angus Beef Bulletin. The cost for a necropsy is not as high here locally as indicated below, especially on small calves. Veterinarian W. Mark Hilton, clinical associate professor of beef production medicine at Purdue University, tells producers their dead calf is worth nothing, but a dead calf with a diagnosis can be the most valuable animal on the farm. Knowing the cause of death may help prevent future deaths on down the road. “I feel good when a producer calls me out to necropsy a 2-month-old calf and I open it up and find it ate some twine and got plugged up,” says Hilton. It’s a relief to know it’s just a freak incident. “The owner may be initially disappointed because he spent money for a necropsy, but it’s great to find out that this is not a herd-wide problem or tip-ofthe-iceberg situation. By contrast, if someone has 150 cows and lost seven calves in a day, they recognize this is a serious situation and usually call me immediately. If those seven calves are lost over a three-week period of time, however, the owner may not get as excited and might try to rationalize or guess at causes of death,” says Hilton. A necropsy might have helped prevent the other losses. “If a cow or calf dies suddenly — an unexplained death — I want to see the first case, and not wait until the second or third one,” he says. Otherwise, the pro-

ducer may regret not having checked them, if additional animals die. “I am pretty aggressive on getting young calves necropsied because it is important to find out whether they died of pneumonia or scours. I was in private practice for 15 years, and one of my main jobs now as a university veterinarian is to tell clients to use their herdhealth veterinarian, and have him/her out on the farm occasionally. It’s amazing how many times I go onto a farm and notice something the owner doesn’t see,” says Hilton. If you look at something every day you may be used to it or not as inquisitive as someone seeing it with fresh eyes. “One herd was having a terrible coccidiosis problem in young calves. They couldn’t reach the water troughs and were drinking out in the field, which was heavily contaminated with manure. We filled in the low areas that collected water, and fenced out some parts of the field so calves wouldn’t have access to so much groundwater, and the problem went away,” he says. If he hadn’t been out to the farm, he would have never seen the cause. “Often veterinarians are reluctant to spend our clients’ money, but considering the dollars a stockman has invested in his operation, spending $100 or so for a necropsy to try to prevent future losses is not unreasonable,” says Hilton. Sometimes you can make an immediate management change, knowing the cause of death. If the animal ate poisonous plants, for instance, you could prevent more deaths by moving the cattle out of that pasture. Any unexplained death
needs to be investigated. ### Dates to Remember January/Feb., 2014 Small Farm College offered in two locations. One in Warren County and the other in Athens.

ODOT shows what can happen when motorists “Crowd the Plow” With the latest forecasts predicting a wintery mix tonight and tomorrow across much of the state, the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) is reminding motorists “Don’t Crowd The Plow.” So far this winter, there were 13 crashes involving ODOT snow plows including one earlier this week in Washington County (photo attached). In that crash, a tractor trailer rear-ended an ODOT snow plow on Interstate 77. Neither driver was seriously injured. Statistics show that most crashes are preventable and are caused by drivers simply going too fast for the conditions or not paying attention. “Our plow drivers work
long hours in difficult conditions to keep motorists safe during the winter,” said ODOT Director Jerry Wray. “We are asking for motorists to do their part by giving snowplows room to do their job effectively.” Statewide, more than 1,600 snowplow trucks and 3,000 drivers will be on state, U.S. and interstate routes at any given time over the weekend. When plowing and treating the roads, ODOT trucks travel between 30-35 MPH, well below the posted speed limit. ODOT safety experts urge motorists to stay clear of snowplows by using the following tips: • Distance – Give snowplows room to work.
Don’t tailgate and try not to pass. If you must pass, take extreme caution and beware of the snow cloud. Also slow down for oncoming snowplows; snowplows plow far and wide. • Speed – Snowplows travel below the posted speed limit. Be patient. Ice and Snow…Take it Slow. • Vision – A snowplow operator’s field of vision is restricted. You may see them, but they don’t always see you. Keep your distance and watch for sudden stops. • KNOB4UGO – Before you get behind the wheel, remember to visit www.ohgo.com for winter road conditions in your area.
